eCAS® Call Accounting
Veramarks totally web browser-based eCAS Call Accounting software system provides small and
mid-sized organizations with visibility and control of communication activity and expenses. eCAS
connects to business telephone systems (PBXs, IP-PBXs, Hybrid systems, Key systems, etc.) to
collect, store, and rate information on every telephone call made or received. eCAS automatically
generates alerts, dashboards and reports that provide management with valuable information about
productivity, network utilization, and expenses.
Through use of our secure, multi-user call accounting system, eCAS clients can significantly
reduce, through heightened awareness and proactive management, their telecommunications costs. As
a result, the cost of an eCAS system can generally be recovered through direct expense reduction
5
in less than one year. In addition, eCAS addresses the problem of theft of telephone service
through PBX hacking and employee abuse. Using user-defined criteria, that is generally
indicative of fraud/abuse, clients are immediately alerted to potential problems and are able to
take corrective action to minimize loss.
In todays business climate, in addition to telecom costs, issues such as productivity and
security are top concerns. Veramarks eCAS product gives small and mid-size businesses (SMB) a
cost-effective method to measure productivity and improve business security, plus also reduce
fraud, and optimize network utilization. By capturing statistical details on every incoming and
outgoing call, and delivering that information to the desktop as easy-to-use reports, eCAS delivers
essential information to management, while retaining employee privacy, because the actual content
of phone conversations is not captured.
Common business drivers for Veramarks eCAS software include:
|
|
Improving business security through alarms and reports that identify called parties or
incoming calls that can threaten employees or the entire organization (e.g., bomb threats); |
|
|
|
Evaluating employee productivity and detecting unauthorized use of company phones for
personal calls or 900 numbers; |
|
|
|
Tracking internal calls for the purposes of team building or documenting harassment; |
|
|
|
Traffic analysis used to optimize network performance and better project network capacity
requirements, and to determine the best long distance carrier plans based on usage trends; |
|
|
|
Detecting fraudulent use of the phone system by hackers. |
|
|
|
Producing revenues by reselling phone services to third-parties (e.g., tenants); and |
|
|
|
Allocating telephone expense to specific cost centers or clients based on actual use; |
eCAS 5.0, available since October 2007, is the most recent release of Veramarks
industry-leading call accounting solution. eCAS 5.0 streamlines the operation for the user with an
advanced user interface and increased functionality. Colorful user-definable dashboards display and
provide real-time charting of calls by hour, personnel, and extensionusers define the primary
dashboards they want to monitor. Increased reporting flexibility is achieved with dynamic 3D report
graphics, floating column headers, versatile ASCII export capabilities, and additional call center
reporting capabilities. Users can assign multiple charge codes to extensions and personnel, giving
telecom departments additional flexibility to charge back and allocate costs. In addition, eCAS 5.0
makes it simple to override default international rates, making it easy to correctly cost overseas
calls. Rounding out the new product features, eCAS 5.0 offers an improved and simplified
installation process, allowing users to download upgrades via the Web.
The eCAS software is installed with Microsoft SQL Express or Server on a PC connected to the
clients network and is accessed entirely through a standard Internet browser, such as Microsoft
Internet Explorer or Firefox. This centralized architecture allows clients to administer the
system from virtually anywhere, without the added cost and inconvenience of additional client
software. The systems high-performance reporting engine delivers all reports electronically to the
Internet browser, to file or via email, allowing the user to readily view and manipulate the
information and apply it for understanding telecommunications cost, usage, security, and
productivity trends.
6
The eCAS system collects and processes call records from up to 100 different remote locations
and can be deployed in business environments that range from 20 to 10,000 extensions. Avaya, their
distributors, and resellers sell a private label version of the eCAS system.
Clients running eCAS software with multiple telecom switch locations have the option to use

record data from remote switches and stores the data until polled, over the IP network or via
dialup, by the call accounting system. Veramarks Managed Services and TEM Services clients use
these devices extensively.

clients in a variety of formats. Managed Services customers can access their data remotely and
securely by Internet login, email, fax, or CD-ROM. Clients that opt for Managed Services generally

Marketing and Sales
Veramarks marketing, support, and sales personnel are located at its headquarters in
Pittsford, New York, and 14 other locations throughout the United States.
Veramark has separate marketing and distribution strategies for its enterprise and SME
markets. Because of the size and complexity of its enterprise platform, Veramarks marketing and
distribution strategy for VeraSMART is focused primarily on direct sales. On the other hand, the
strategy for its SME product, eCAS, is founded on building mutually beneficial relationships with
companies that have established distribution networks. The nature of these relationships vary,
depending on the product and market. Some sell privately labeled, customized products developed and
manufactured by Veramark to their defined specifications, while others resell Veramark-labeled
products.

New Product Development
Software development costs, meeting recoverability tests, are capitalized in accordance with
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 86 when technological feasibility has been
established for the software. The costs capitalized are amortized on a product-by-product basis
over their estimated life, or the ratio of current revenues to current and anticipated revenues
from such software, whichever provides the greater amortization. The Company periodically records
adjustments to write down certain capitalized costs to their net realizable value.
Backlog
At December 31, 2007, Veramark had a backlog of $6,481,000, the majority of which is expected
to be recognized as revenue during 2008. Backlog as of December 31, 2006 was $7,296,000.
The Companys policy is to recognize orders only upon receipt of purchase orders.
Competition
The telecommunications management industry is highly competitive and highly fragmented. The
number of domestic suppliers of telemanagement systems for business users is estimated to exceed
100 companies. The vast majority of those are regional firms with limited product lines and
limited sales and development resources. Several competitors are established companies that are
able to compete with Veramark on a national and international basis.
There are fewer competitors in the market for large-scale telemanagement systems for telephone
service providers, although several existing competitors are substantially larger than Veramark and
may be able to devote significantly more resources to product development and marketing.
With respect to all of Veramarks products, some competing firms have greater name recognition
and more financial, marketing, and technological resources than Veramark. Competition in the
industry is based on price, product performance, breadth of product line, and customer service.
Veramark believes its products are priced competitively based upon their performance and
functionality. We also believe that our services organization effectively and efficiently
differentiates Veramark from that of competition. However, Veramark does not strive to be
consistently the lowest priced supplier in its markets. Historically, prices for application
software have declined rapidly in the face of competition. Increased competition for the Companys
software products could adversely affect the Companys sales volume and profits.
Employees
As of February 29, 2008 Veramark employed 80 full-time personnel. Veramarks employees are
not represented by any labor unions.

2007 Compared with 2006
Overview
For the year ended December 31, 2007 sales of $11,919,000 increased 15% from sales of $10,361,000
for the year ended December 31, 2006. The net loss of $706,000, or $0.08 per share, for the year
ended December 31, 2007 compared with a net loss of $488,000, or $0.06 per share, for the year
ended December 31, 2006.
As of December 31, 2007 the companys backlog was approximately $6.5 million, the majority of which
is expected to be recognized as revenue in 2008. At December 31, 2006 backlog totaled approximately
$7.3 million. The change in backlog reflects a $792,000 one-time component of our managed service
contract with Sears Holding Corporation (SHC) included in backlog at December 31, 2006 that was
completed and recognized as revenue in the first quarter of 2007.
During 2007 new product releases strengthening the capabilities of both the VeraSMART and eCAS
product lines were completed. VeraSMART 6.0, released in May 2007, significantly upgraded our
telecom expense management (TEM) capabilities with the addition of enhanced invoice processing,
payment tracking, contract management, wireless plan management, and upgraded report functionality.
This latest release of VeraSMART was designed to integrate with accounts payable and general ledger
systems, generate automatic invoice alerts, allow for the measurement of invoiced charges against
contractual charges and allows the ability to compare actual usage against wireless calling plans.
In late October we announced the release of eCAS 5.0 adding an advanced user interface, real time
charting of call activity and user definable dashboards to the basic eCAS product, while also
improving and simplifying the installation process.
In December 2007 the company announced that Anthony C. Mazzullo was joining Veramark as President
and Chief Executive Officer, effective January 1, 2008 replacing David Mazzella who had previously
announced his retirement effective December 31, 2007. Mr. Mazzullo brings to Veramark over 25 years
of experience leading software and professional service companies, most recently as senior
vice-President of ePLUS Systems, Inc.

Sales
Sales of VeraSMART products and services increased 40% for the year ended December 31, 2007 as
compared with the year ended December 31, 2006, accounting for 24% of total sales in 2007 versus
20% of sales in 2006. Joining the growing list of VeraSMART customers during 2007 were
organizations that included Google, eBay, First National Bank of Omaha, The Bank of Montreal,
Northrup Grumman, Connecticut Department of Revenue, The City of Kansas City, and The University of
Phoenix.
Revenues generated from managed service contracts increased 408% for the year ended December 31,
2007 from prior year results and accounted for 21% of total sales in 2007, up from 5% of total
sales in 2006. A significant portion of that increase was attributable to the SHC contract signed
in December 2006, but also includes initial revenues generated from two new clients signed to
multi-year contacts in 2007. Those clients are SC Johnson, a global supplier of household cleaning
products and Green Tree Servicing LLC, a leading financial institution.
Sales of eCAS products and services decreased 11% for the year ended December 31, 2007 from the
prior year, which included a decline of 20% in sales through our largest distribution channel for
eCAS, Avaya Inc and its master distributors. Sales of eCAS products and services accounted for 50%
of total sales revenues in 2007, down from 64% in 2006.
Cost of Sales
Gross margin (defined as sales less cost of sales) of $8,804,000 for the year ended December 31,
2007 increased 8% from the gross margin of $8,181,000 for the year ended December 31, 2006 as a
result of the increased sales volume in 2007 versus 2006. Gross margin as a percentage of sales did
decline from 79% in 2006 to 74% in 2007 due to utilizing a third party contractor to perform
various components of the SHC managed service contract.
Engineering and Software Development Expenses
Engineering and software development expenses, net of the effects of software capitalization,
and included in the Companys statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2007 of
$1,227,000 increased $336,000 from net engineering and software development expenses of $891,000
for 2006. The increase in net expense results from a reduction in software development costs
capitalized from $1,285,000 in 2006 to $796,000 for 2007. The reduction in development costs
capitalized for 2007 reflects a higher percentage of development efforts being applied to upgrades
and enhancements made to previously released products, the costs of which do not qualify for
capitalization. The chart below summarizes our gross engineering and software development
expenses, development costs capitalized, net expense charged to operations, and amortization
expenses recorded and charged to cost of sales for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses for the year ended December 31, 2007 of
$8,352,000 increased $538,000, or 7%, from SG&A expenses of $7,814,000 for the year ended December
31, 2006. SG&A expenses for 2007 were impacted by contractual obligations associated with the
retirement of the companys former Chief Executive Officer in the form of bonus accruals and the
issuance of immediately exercisable stock options to replace unexercised options expiring during
2007. In addition to those expenses the Company also took steps in 2007 to strengthen its
marketing, product management and sales management capabilities, resulting in higher salary,
promotional, and travel expenses, particularly in the third and fourth quarters of the year.
2006 Compared with 2005
Overview
Sales for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2006 were $2,721,000 which compared with sales of
$2,902,000 for the same quarter of 2005. Sales for the full year ended December 31, 2006 totaled
$10,361,000 which compared with sales of $10,859,000 for the year ended December 31, 2005.
Veramark incurred a net loss of $51,000, or $0.01 per share, for the quarter ended December 31,
2006. For the same quarter of 2005 we reported a net income of $266,000, or $0.03 per diluted
share. For the full year ended December 31, 2006 our net loss of $488,000 or $0.06 per share,
compared with a net income of $382,000, or $0.04 per diluted share, for the year ended December 31,
2005.
Order rates experienced during the third and fourth quarters of 2006, particularly for VeraSMART
and Managed Services increased significantly from the same periods of 2005. Significant portions
of
the revenue associated with these orders will be recognized in the first quarter of 2007 and
beyond. Orders booked for the first two quarters of 2006 averaged approximately $2.6 million per
quarter.
14
Orders booked for the third quarter increased to approximately $3.0 million, and orders
booked for the fourth quarter of 2006 increased to approximately $5.4 million.
In December 2006 we announced the award of a contract from a large national retail chain to provide
them with Telecommunications Expense Management (TEM) services. The initial term of this contract,
which is included in fourth quarter orders, is valued at approximately $2 million. Pursuant to
terms of the contract, we will provide a range of TEM services for a period of eighteen months, at
which time the customer has the option to license Veramark software products and provide those
services internally. If the customer opts to have Veramark continue to perform the contracted
services on their behalf, the contract will be extended an additional eighteen months, increasing
the total contract value to approximately $4 million over the three years.
In addition to the Managed Service opportunity described above, orders received in the fourth
quarter for new VeraSMART systems, combined with upgrades to existing systems, represented the
highest level of orders received for VeraSMART products in any quarter since the initial release of
the product line. For the full year ended December 31, 2006 orders for VeraSMART products and
services increased 42% from the prior year.
In total, orders booked increased 26% from $10.8 million for 2005, to $13.6 million for 2006. As a
result our backlog of embedded revenues, representing orders and contracts received for which
revenue has not yet been recognized, increased to approximately $7.3 million dollars at December
31, 2006, an increase of 62% from the embedded revenue backlog of approximately $4.5 million at
December 31, 2005.
Sales
Sales of VeraSMART, our enterprise level product suite increased 12% and 8%, respectively for the
three and twelve months ended December 31, 2006, as compared with the same three and twelve month
periods of 2005. In October of 2006 we announced the release of VeraSMART 5.0, introducing the
VeraSMART Asset Management Module, further enhancing our enterprise productivity and resource
management solution. The new asset management module is fully integrated with our Work Order/Help
Desk, Allocation, and Directory modules allowing customers the ability to manage and optimize any
tangible or intangible asset within their organization. With the release of VeraSMART 5.0 we are
now able to offer a complete array of facilities management options to our customers.
Included in sales of our enterprise level category of products are the continuing maintenance
revenues associated with VeraSMARTs predecessor product, Quantum. Support for the Quantum line of
products has been in the process of being phased out since April 2003 when new sales of Quantum
were suspended with the introduction of VeraSMART. Maintenance revenues in 2006 derived from
Quantum declined 63% for the three months ended December 31, 2006 and 41% for the twelve months
ended December 31, 2006 from prior year levels. As previously reported, support for the Quantum
product will cease in its entirety December 31, 2007.
Sales of eCAS products and services increased 9% and 3%, respectively, for the three and twelve
months ended December 31, 2006 as compared with the same three and twelve month periods of 2005.
Though we have experienced declines in sales of new licenses for eCAS through our largest
distribution channel, Avaya Inc, and their master distributors, these declines have been offset by
increased revenues generated from our eCAS maintenance and support activities.
15
Sales generated from our Managed Services Group (formerly referred to as Service Bureau) increased
13% for the three months ended December 31, 2006 and 9% for the twelve months ended December 31,
2006 from the same periods of 2005. Our Managed Services organization offer a variety of services
ranging from full service applications to Application Service Provider (ASP) models, utilizing the
same tools and products developed for our premise based offerings. During 2006 we announced two new
managed services contracts, both for three year terms, and both with large companies in the
beverage industry. Initial revenues associated with those contracts began in the fourth quarter of
2006.
Cost of Sales
For the three months ended December 31, 2006 gross margin (defined as sales minus cost of sales)
was $2,202,000 or 81% of sales. For the three months ended December 31, 2005 gross margin was
$2,348,000, also representing 81% of sales. For the year ended December 31, 2006 gross margin was
$8,181,000 or 79% of sales versus $8,971,000, or 83% of sales for the year ended December 31, 2005.
The lower gross margins for 2006 as compared with 2005 were attributable to higher amortization
costs from previously capitalized software development efforts and an increase in costs associated
with our managed service operation.
Engineering and Software Development Expenses
Net engineering and software development expenses of $891,000 for the year ended December 31, 2006
decreased 13% from net engineering and development expenses of $1,021,000 incurred for the year
ended December 31, 2005. Gross expenditures for 2006, before the effects of software
capitalization, were slightly below 2005 levels, declining from $2,197,000 for the year ended
December 31, 2005 to $2,176,000 for the year ended December 31, 2006. The chart below summarizes
gross engineering and development expenses, software costs capitalized, the resulting net expenses
charged against operations, and amortization expenses recorded and charged to cost of sales for the
years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005.

Selling General and Administrative Expenses
For the year ended December 31, 2006 selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) totaled
$7,814,000, an increase of 3% from expenses of $7,594,000 for the year ended December 31, 2005. The
increased SG&A expenses result from staffing additions made to our direct sales force, a process
initiated during the first half of 2006, which we felt essential to increasing future sales levels.
As a result, selling expenses increased 20% in 2006 over the expenses incurred for 2005, primarily
in the form of higher compensation and travel expenses. Offsetting the additional selling expenses
were reductions in expenses recorded for marketing, administration, and support functions.
The decrease in expenses associated with marketing, direct sales and support and service, as was
the case with engineering and software development costs, is attributable to reductions in staffing
levels during 2006. Much of the opportunity to reduce staffing levels reflects the diminished
level of resources required to support the Quantum Series, VeraSMARTs predecessor product, as
former Quantum customers have been successfully transitioned to the VeraSMART platform which
requires significantly lower levels of support and maintenance resources.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Veramarks total cash position, consisting of cash in the bank and the value of short-term
investments totaled $2,206,000 at December 31 2007, an increase of $511,000, or 30%, from the total
cash position of $1,695,000 at December 31, 2006. The increase is attributable to a combination of
higher sales volumes in 2007 versus the prior year, in addition to a reduction in accounts
receivable from a year ago.
Accounts receivable of $1,303,000 at December 31 2007 decreased $141,000 from accounts receivable
of $1,444,000 at December 31, 2006. We experienced no significant change in the payment patterns of
our customers, nor encountered any collection problems of note throughout 2007. Accounts written
off as uncollectable in 2007 totaled less than $1,000. The reserve for bad debts at December 31,
2007 of $30,000 remained unchanged from the prior year.
Prepaid expenses decreased $8,000, or 3%, from a balance of $262,000 at December 31, 2006 to
$254,000 at December 31, 2007. Prepaid expenses consist primarily of advance commissions paid our
sales personnel on the receipt of customer purchase orders, and the unutilized portions of general
business insurances and maintenance contracts on specified equipment.
Capital equipment purchases during 2007 totaled $111,000 which compared with capital equipment
additions of $160,000 during 2006. In addition, we disposed of $61,000 of obsolete or outdated
assets, virtually all of which had been fully depreciated. Depreciation expense for the year
ended December 31, 2007 amounted to $258,000. As of December 31, 2007 the remaining net book value
of capital assets totaled $521,000, down from $669,000 at December 31, 2006.
Software development costs capitalized and included in the companys balance sheet at December 31,
2007 of $3,038,000 decreased 4% from $3,175,000 at December 31, 2006. In 2007 we capitalized
$796,000 of software developments costs and amortized $933,000 of previously capitalized costs.
During 2006 we had capitalized $1,285,000 of development costs with amortization totaling $936,000.
17
Pension assets, consisting entirely of the cash surrender values of company-owned life insurance
policies increased from $2,866,000 at December 31, 2006 to $3,210,000 at December 31, 2007. The
accumulated death benefit of these policies, combined with the accumulated cash surrender values
associated with each policy is designed to fund future pension obligations of the company.
Additionally, the cash surrender values may be utilized to fund current operations of the company
should that be deemed necessary.
Total current liabilities of $5,331,000 at December 31, 2007 increased 10% from current liabilities
of $4,834,000 at December 31, 2006. Accrued compensation cost increased $253,000 primarily due to
contractual agreements and transitional costs related to the retirement of the companys former
Chief Executive Officer and the recruitment of his successor. Deferred revenues increased $52,000
from the December 31, 2006 balance of $3,317,000 to $3,369,000 at December 31, 2007. Deferred
revenues consist of maintenance, support, training, and installation services for which the company
has billed customers but for which it has not yet performed the actual service, and therefore not
recorded the associated revenues. Deferred revenues essentially represent backlog to the company,
however are included in the current liability section of the balance sheet in order to recognize
the existence of a future obligation. It is expected that virtually all of the current deferred
revenue will be recognized as revenue during 2008.
The net present value of the long-term portion of the companys pension obligation at December 31,
2007 is $5,072,000, exclusive of $440,000 of retirement benefits which will be paid in 2008 and
included in the current liability section of the balance sheet. The net present value of the
long-term portion of the pension obligation as of December 31, 2006 was $5,096,000.
Total stockholders equity at December 31, 2007 of $992,000 compares with total stockholder equity
of $1,003,000 at December 31, 2006. During 2007 employees exercised 210,150 stock options and
purchased 23,917shares of common stock through the employee stock purchase plan. The combination of
those activities yielded proceeds to the company of $115,000. In 2007 the company recorded $356,000
of compensation expense for the issuance of new options which is included in paid in capital.
It is managements opinion that given current cash flows, the availability to cash surrender values
of company-owned life insurance policies, projected operating expense levels, and the absence of
debt, that sufficient liquidity and financial resources are available to fund operations for the
next twelve months and beyond.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
Pension Obligations The Company sponsors a non-qualified, unfunded, Supplemental Executive
Retirement Plan (SERP), which provides certain key employees with a defined pension benefit. The
Company believes that the SERP is an important part of its compensation package, necessary for the
recruitment and retention of qualified employees.
The SERP is not encumbered by the coverage and benefit restrictions imposed on qualified plans
by the IRS. In addition, the Company generally is not required to comply with non-discrimination
rules imposed on qualified plans under ERISA.
18
Unfunded means that the Company is not required to set aside any particular assets to satisfy
its SERP liabilities. Accordingly any assets the Company may have available to satisfy SERP
liabilities are subject to claims by the Companys creditors.
Recovery of 100% of projected SERP costs is designed through a program of Company-owned life
insurance (COLI). Recovery for the imputed time value of the money, plus all costs associated with
the COLI premium payments, and benefit obligations, are included in this program. The Company
currently owns 14 separate life insurance contracts on selected current and former employees, not
all of who will ultimately qualify for participation in the plan. The cumulative death benefit
attached to these policies is $10.2 million and is not included in the Companys Consolidated
Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2007.
The cash surrender values of these policies at December 31, 2007 totaled approximately
$3,210,000 and are included in the Companys consolidated balance sheets under the caption of
Pension Assets.
The projected future pension benefits expected to be paid under this plan are as follows,
assuming retirement at 65 and a life expectancy of 80 years for all participants:

The net present value of these projected pension obligations at December 31, 2007, totals
$5,512,531, and is included in the current and long-term liability sections of the Companys
consolidated balance sheets.
Lease Obligations The Company leases current office facilities and certain equipment under
operating leases, which expire at various dates through 2010. Rent expense under all operating
leases (exclusive of real estate taxes and other expenses payable under the leases) was
approximately $346,000, $373,000, and $409,000 for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and
2005, respectively.
Minimum lease payments as of December 31, 2007 under operating leases are as follows:

Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect amounts reported therein. The most significant of these involving difficult or complex
judgments in 2007 include:
|
|
|
Revenue recognition |
|
|
|
|
Capitalization of software development costs |
|
|
|
|
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts |
|
|
|
|
Pension liability |
In each situation, management is required to make estimates about the effects of matters or
future events that are inherently uncertain.
The Companys revenue consists of revenues from the licensing of software to resellers and end
user customers; fees for services rendered to include installation, training, implementation, and
customer maintenance contracts; and the outsourcing or hosting of services.
The Company recognizes software license revenue under Statement of Position No 97-2 Software
Revenue Recognition as amended by Statement of Position No. 98-9, Software Revenue Recognition
With Respect to Certain Transactions, Emerging Issues Task Force 00-21, Revenue Arrangements with
Multiple Deliverables, and related interpretations.
Sales of licensed software sold directly to an end user customer are recognized as revenue
upon delivery and installation of the software at the customer site. Sales of licensed software to
a reseller are recognized as revenue when delivery is made to the reseller. Regardless of the form
of sale no revenue is recognized without persuasive evidence of an arrangement existing. Persuasive
evidence is determined to be a signed purchase order received from the customer or an equivalent
form for those customers lacking a formalized purchase order system. In the case of VeraSMART
sales, a software license agreement signed by both parties is often required in addition to a
purchase order or equivalent. Additionally, revenue is only recognized when a selling price is
fixed or determinable and collectibility of the receivable is deemed to be probable.
Service revenues such as training, installation and implementation are recognized when the
service is complete and acknowledged by the customer, regardless as to whether the sale is on a
direct basis or through a reseller arrangement.
Fees charged to customers for post-contract Customer Support are recognized ratably over the
term of the contract. Costs related to maintenance obligations are expensed as incurred.
Sales which constitute a multiple-element arrangement are accounted for by determining if the
elements can be accounted for as separate accounting units, and if so, by applying values to those
units for which there is vendor specific objective evidence of their fair value. We use the
residual method to apply any remaining balance to the remaining elements of the arrangement. More
20
specifically, this methodology applies when there is embedded maintenance (post-contract customer
support) involved in the sale of a software license, or when the sale of a software license is made
in conjunction with installation services. In the latter case, the recognition of the software
license is deferred until installation is completed.
The Companys revenues generated through hosting solutions are recognized using the
proportional performance method. Revenues are recognized in the month services are rendered and
earned under service agreements with clients where service fees are fixed or determinable.
Contracts can be terminated with 90 days written notice. All services provided by us through the
date of cancellation are due and payable under the contract terms.
The Company believes its revenue recognition policies are appropriate, in all circumstances,
and that its policies are reflective of complexities arising from customer arrangements involving
such features as maintenance, warranty agreements, license agreements, and other normal course of
business arrangements.
As set forth in Note 1, the Company capitalizes software development costs when technological
feasibility has been established for the software in accordance with SFAS No. 86, Accounting for
the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed. Such capitalized costs
are amortized on a product-by-product basis over their economic life or the ratio of current
revenues to current and anticipated revenues from such software, whichever provides the greater
amortization. The Company periodically reviews the carrying value of capitalized software
development costs and impairments are recognized in the results of operations when the expected
future undiscounted operating cash flow derived from the capitalized software is less than its
carrying value. Should the Company inaccurately determine when a product reaches technological
feasibility or the economic life of a product, results could differ materially from those reported.
Veramark uses what it believes are reasonable assumptions and where applicable, established
valuation techniques in making its estimates.
The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the
potential inability of its customers to make required payments. Management specifically analyzes
accounts receivable, historical bad debts, credit concentrations and customer payment terms when
evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts.
As set forth in Note 7 Benefit Plans, the Company sponsors an unfunded Supplemental
Executive Retirement Program (SERP), which is a nonqualified plan that provides certain key
employees a defined pension benefit. In order to properly record the net present value of future
pension obligations a number of assumptions are required to be made by Companys management. These
assumptions include years of service, life expectancies, and projected future salary increases for
each participant. In addition, management must make assumptions with regard to the proper
long-term interest and liability discount rates to be applied to these future obligations.
Should the Company need to alter any of these assumptions, there is the potential for
significant adjustments to future projected pension liabilities.

Accounting Pronouncements
|
1) |
|
In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial
Assets and Financial Liabilities, including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115. SFAS
159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other
items at fair value at specified election dates. This Statement applies to all entities,
including not-for-profit organizations. SFAS 159 is effective as of the beginning of an
entitys first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. As such, the Company is
required to adopt these provisions at the beginning of the fiscal year ended December 31,
2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS 159 on its financial
statements. |
|
2) |
|
In June 2006, the FASB issued FIN 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes-an
Interpretation of FASB Statement NO. 109. This interpretation clarifies the accounting for
uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprises financial statements. This
interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the
financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be
taken in a tax return. This Interpretation also provides guidance on derecognition,
classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and
transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. As
such, the Company adopted these provisions at the beginning of the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2007. Adoption of FIN 48 did not have a significant effect on the Companys
financial statements. |
|
3) |
|
In September 2006, SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108 (SAB 108) was issued to
provide guidance on Quantifying Financial Statement Misstatements. SAB 108 addresses how
the effects of prior-year uncorrected misstatements should be considered when quantifying
misstatements in current-year financial statements. The SAB 108 requires registrants to
quantify misstatements using both the balance sheet and income statement approaches and to
evaluate whether either approach results in quantifying an error that is material in light
of relevant quantitative and qualitative factors. When the effect of initial adoption is
determined to be material, the SAB 108 allows registrants to record that effect as a
cumulative-effect to beginning-of-year retained earnings. SAB 108 is effective for fiscal
years ending after November 15, 2006 and early application is encouraged for any interim
period of the first fiscal year ending after that date. Adoption of SAB 108 did not have a
significant effect on the Companys financial statements. |
|
4) |
|
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. SFAS 157
defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands
disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective as of the beginning of
the first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. As such, the Company is
required to adopt these provisions at the beginning of the fiscal year ended December 31,
2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS 157 on its consolidated
financial statements. |
22
|
5) |
|
In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 141(R), Business Combinations. SFAS 141(R)
establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer recognizes and measures in its
financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, an any
noncontrolling interest in the acquiree, recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in
the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase, and determines what information
to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial
effects of the business combination. SFAS 141(R) is effective for fiscal years, and interim
periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. As such, the
Company is required to adopt these provisions at the beginning of the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2009. The Company does not expect adoption of SFAS 141(R) to have a material
effect on its financial statements. |
|
6) |
|
In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial
Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51. SFAS 160 establishes accounting and reporting
standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a
subsidiary. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal
years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. As such, the Company is required to adopt
these provisions at the beginning of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009. The Company
does not expect SFAS 160 to have a material effect on its financial statements. |
|
7) |
|
In December 2007, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 110 (SAB 110). SAB
110 permits companies to continue to use the simplified method,
under certain circumstances, in estimating the expected term of plain vanilla options
beyond December 31, 2007. SAB 110 updates guidance provided in SAB 107 that previously
stated that the Staff would not expect a company to use the simplified method for share
option grants after December 31, 2007. Adoption of SAB 110 is not expected to have a
material impact on the Companys financial statements. |
|
8) |
|
In March 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ratified Emerging Issues Task
Force (EITF) Issue No. 06-10, Accounting for Collateral Assignment Split-Dollar Life
Insurance Agreements. EITF 06-10 provides guidance for determining a liability for the
postretirement benefit obligation as well as recognition and measurement of the associated
asset on the basis of the terms of the collateral assignment agreement. EITF 06-10 is
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007. As such, the Company is
required to adopt these provisions at the beginning of the fiscal year ended December 31,
2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of EITF 06-10 on its financial
statements.

Issues and Risks
The following factors, among others discussed herein and in the Companys filings under the
Act, could cause actual results and future events to differ materially from those set forth
or contemplated in the forward-looking statements: economic, competitive, governmental and
technological factors, increased operating costs, failure to obtain necessary outside
financing, risks related to natural disasters and financial market fluctuations. Such
factors also include:
Intellectual Property Rights
Veramark regards its software as proprietary and attempts to protect it with a combination
of copyright, trademark and trade secret protections, employee and third-party
non-disclosure agreements and other methods of protection. Despite those precautions, it may
be possible for unauthorized third parties to copy certain portions of Veramarks products,
reverse engineer or obtain and use information that Veramark regards as proprietary. The
laws of some foreign countries do not protect Veramarks proprietary rights to the same
extent as the laws of the United States. Any misappropriation of Veramarks intellectual
property could have a material adverse effect on its business and results of operations.
Furthermore, although Veramark take steps to prevent unlawful infringement of others
intellectual property, there can be no assurance that third parties will not assert
infringement claims against Veramark in the future with respect to current or future
products. Any such assertion could require Veramark to enter into royalty arrangements or
result in costly litigation.
New Products and Services
Veramark has made significant investments in research, development and marketing for new
products, services and technologies, including the VeraSMART® software offering and its
service bureau outsourced solutions. Significant revenue from new product and service
investments may not be achieved for a number of years, if at all. Moreover, if such
products or services are profitable, operating margins may not be as high as the margins
historically experienced by Veramark.
Declines in Demand for Software
If overall market demand for software and computer devices generally, as well as call
accounting software or enterprise level products specifically, declines, or corporate
spending for such products declines, Veramarks revenue will be adversely affected.
Additionally, Veramarks revenues would be unfavorably impacted if customers reduce their
purchases of new software products or upgrades to existing products.
Product Development Schedule
The development of software products is a complex and time-consuming process. New products
and enhancements to existing products can require long development and testing periods.
Significant delays in new product releases or significant problems in creating new products,
particularly any delays in future releases of the VeraSMART® suite of products, could
adversely affect Veramark revenues.
Competition
Veramark experiences intensive competition across all markets for its products and services.
Some competing firms have greater name recognition and more financial, marketing and
technological resources than Veramark. These competitive pressures may result in decreased
24
sales volumes, price reductions, and/or increased operating costs, such as for marketing and
sales incentives, resulting in lower revenues, gross margins and operating income.
Marketing and Sales
Veramarks marketing and distribution strategy is founded on building mutually beneficial
relationships with companies that have established distribution networks. Some sell
privately labeled, customized products developed and manufactured by Veramark to their
specific specifications, while others resell Veramarks products. Any loss of the continued
availability of those relationships could have a material adverse effect on Veramarks
business and results of operations.
Item 7A Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The Company has no long-term bank debt obligations. The Company has no foreign currency
exchange risk and has no foreign currency exchange contracts.
The Company generally invests its available cash in low risk securities such as bond funds or
government issued securities.
At December 31, 2007 and 2006 the carrying value of investments approximated fair market
value. Investments at December 31, 2007 and 2006 consisted of the following:

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors
and Stockholders
Veramark Technologies, Inc.
Pittsford, New York
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Veramark Technologies, Inc. as of December
31, 2007 and 2006, and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders equity, and
cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2007. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. The company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its
internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control
over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the
companys internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An
audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made
by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that
our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the results
of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31,
2007, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

VERAMARK TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2007, 2006 AND 2005
1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Description of business Veramark Technologies, Inc., (the Company) designs and produces
communications management and operation support software for users and providers of
telecommunication services in the global market. The Company operates in one segment.
Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported
amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from
those estimates.
Cash and cash equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with
a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The fair value of the Companys
cash and cash equivalents approximates carrying value, which, due to the relatively short
maturities and variable interest rates of the instruments, approximates current market rates.
Investments The Company records its investments in accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Certain Debt and
Equity Securities. As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company has classified its portfolio
as available-for-sale securities. These securities are recorded at fair value, based on quoted
market prices in an active market, with net unrealized holding gains and losses reported in
stockholders equity as accumulated other comprehensive income. At December 31, 2007 and 2006
the carrying value of investments approximated fair market value.
Investments at December 31, 2007 and 2006 consisted of the following:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2007 |
|
|
2006 |
|
Bond Funds |

|
|
|

|
|

$ |
1,492,288 |
|
|
$ |
849,655 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The contractual maturities of the Companys investments as of December 31, 2007 are primarily
due within one year.
Accounts receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts The Company extends credit to its
customers in the normal course of business and collateral is generally not required for trade
receivables. Exposure to credit risk is controlled through the use of credit approvals, credit
limits and monitoring procedures. Accounts receivable are reported net of an allowance for
doubtful accounts. The Company estimates the allowance based on its analysis of specific
balances, taking into consideration the age of the past due account and anticipated collections
resulting from legal issues. An account is considered past due after
34
thirty (30) days from the invoice date. Based on these factors, there was an allowance for
doubtful accounts of $30,000 at both December 31, 2007 and 2006. Changes to the allowance for
doubtful accounts are charged to expense and reduced by charge-offs, net of recoveries.
Concentrations of credit risk Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company
to concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of investments and accounts receivable.
The Company places its cash and investments with quality financial institutions and, by policy,
limits the amount of investment exposure to any one financial institution. The Company has not
experienced any losses to date on its invested cash and investments.
The Companys customers are not concentrated in any specific geographic region, nor in any
specific industry. As of December 31, 2007, five customers accounted for approximately
$590,000 of the total accounts receivable balance. As of December 31, 2006, one customer
accounted for approximately $346,000 of the total accounts receivable balance. The Company
performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers financial conditions but does not require
collateral to support customer receivables. The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful
accounts based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical
trends and other information. Such losses to date have been within managements expectations.
The Company maintains cash deposits with major banks, which may from time to time exceed
federally insured limits. The Company periodically assesses the financial condition of the
institutions and believes that the risk of any loss is minimal.
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market. The Company
evaluates the net realizable value of inventory on hand considering deterioration,
obsolescence, replacement costs and other pertinent factors, and records adjustments as
necessary.
Prepaid Expenses consist of cash outlays made by the Company for economic benefits to be
realized in future periods. These benefits typically include the unutilized portions of
current business insurances and maintenance contracts on Company-owned equipment. Prepaid
expenses are generally expensed on a straight-line basis over the corresponding life of the
underlying asset, with the exception of prepaid commissions which are expensed at the time the
revenue that gave rise to the commission is recognized.
Property and equipment is recorded at cost and depreciated on a straight-line basis using the
following useful lives:
|
|
|
Computer hardware and software
|
|
3-5 years |
Machinery and equipment
|
|
4-7 years |
Furniture and fixtures
|
|
5-10 years |
Leasehold improvements
|
|
Term of lease or useful life |
All maintenance and repair costs are charged to operations as incurred. The cost and
accumulated depreciation for property and equipment sold, retired, or otherwise disposed of are
removed from the accounts, and the resulting gains or losses are reflected in earnings.
Long-lived assets In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No.
144 Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, the Company tests
long-lived assets for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that
the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. No impairment charges were recorded in
2007, 2006, or 2005.
35
Software development costs meeting recoverability tests are capitalized, under SFAS No. 86,
Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed, and
amortized on a product-by-product basis over their economic life, ranging from three to five
years, or the ratio of current revenues to current and anticipated revenues from such software,
whichever provides the greater amortization in a particular period. The Company capitalized
$796,194 of development costs in 2007, $1,285,233 of development costs in 2006 and $1,175,281
of development costs in 2005. The Company amortized $933,169 of development costs in 2007, and
$936,492 of development costs in 2006 and $867,119 of development costs in 2005. The Company
periodically reviews the carrying value of capitalized software development costs and
impairments are recognized in the results of operations when the expected future undiscounted
operating cash flow derived from the capitalized software is less than its carrying value. No
charges for impairment were required in 2007, 2006 or 2005.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No.
107, Disclosure About Fair Value of Financial Instruments, requires entities to disclose the
fair value of financial instruments, both assets and liabilities recognized and not recognized
on the balance sheet, for which it is practicable to estimate fair value. SFAS No. 107 defines
fair value of a financial instrument as the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged
in a current transaction between willing parties. At December 31, 2007 and 2006, the carrying
value of certain financial instruments (accounts receivable, accounts payable and current
portion of capital lease obligations) approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of
the instruments or interest rates, which are comparable with current rates. At December 31,
2007 and 2006, the Company has no long-term debt.
Revenue recognition The Companys revenue consists of revenues from the licensing of
software to resellers and end user customers; fees for services rendered to include
installation, training, implementation, and customer maintenance contracts; and the outsourcing
or hosting of services.
The Company recognizes software license revenue under Statement of Position No 97-2 Software
Revenue Recognition as amended by Statement of Position No. 98-9, Software Revenue
Recognition With Respect to Certain Transactions, Emerging Issues Task Force 00-21, Revenue
Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables, and related interpretations.
Sales of licensed software sold directly to an end user customer are recognized as revenue upon
delivery and installation of the software at the customer site. Sales of licensed software to
a reseller are recognized as revenue when delivery is made to the reseller. Regardless of the
form of sale no revenue is recognized without persuasive evidence of an arrangement existing.
Persuasive evidence is determined to be a signed purchase order received from the customer or
an equivalent form for those customers lacking a formalized purchase order system. In the case
of VeraSMART sales, a software license agreement signed by both parties is often required in
addition to a purchase order or equivalent. Additionally, revenue is only recognized when a
selling price is fixed or determinable and collectibility of the receivable is deemed to be
probable.
Service revenues such as training, installation and implementation are recognized when the
service is complete and acknowledged by the customer, regardless as to whether the sale is on a
direct basis or through a reseller arrangement.
Fees charged to customers for post-contract Customer Support are recognized ratably over the
term of the contract. Costs related to maintenance obligations are expensed as incurred.
Sales which constitute a multiple-element arrangement are accounted for by determining if the
elements can be accounted for as separate accounting units, and if so, by applying values to
those units for which
36
there is vendor specific objective evidence of their fair value. We use the residual method to apply
any remaining balance to the remaining elements of the arrangement. More specifically, this
methodology applies when there is embedded maintenance (post-contract customer support)
involved in the sale of a software license, or when the sale of a software license is made in
conjunction with installation services. In the latter case, the recognition of the software
license is deferred until installation is completed.
The Companys revenues generated through hosting solutions are recognized using the
proportional performance method. Revenues are recognized in the month services are rendered
and earned under service agreements with clients where service fees are fixed or determinable.
Contracts can be terminated with 90 days written notice. All services provided by us through
the date of cancellation are due and payable under the contract terms.
Income taxes are provided on the income earned in the financial statements. In accordance with
SFAS 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, the Company applies the liability method of accounting
for income taxes, under which deferred income taxes are provided to reflect the impact of
temporary differences between the amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting
purposes and such amounts as measured by tax laws and regulations. A valuation allowance is
recorded to reduce the carrying amounts of deferred tax assets unless it is more likely than
not, that such assets will be realized.
Net income (or loss) per common share (EPS) is computed in accordance with the provisions of
SFAS No. 128, Earnings Per Share. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) by
weighted average shares outstanding. Diluted EPS includes the dilutive effect of stock options
and warrants issued. Included in diluted earnings per share in 2005 are 553,972 shares,
representing the dilutive effect of stock options issued. There were no dilutive effects of
stock options in 2007 or 2006, as the effect would have been anti-dilutive, due to the net loss
incurred for those years.
Comprehensive Income Comprehensive income includes all changes in stockholders equity
during the period except those resulting from investments by owners and distribution to owners.
The Companys comprehensive income includes net loss or earnings, unrealized gains or losses
on available for sale investments, and unrecognized prior service costs and any gain or loss
associated with the Companys Supplement Executive Retirement Program.
Research and Development Costs Research and development costs, other than certain software
development costs previously disclosed in Note 1, are expensed as incurred. For the years
ended December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005, research and development costs expensed were
$1,226,898, $890,616, and $1,021,338, respectively.
Stock-Based Compensation The Companys primary type of share-based compensation consists of
stock options. For the year ended December 31, 2007 the company issued 632,485 stock options,
500,000 of which were immediately exercisable.
A summary of the status of the Companys stock option plan as of December 31, 2007 is

Accounting Pronouncements

1) |
|
In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial
Assets and Financial Liabilities, including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115. SFAS
159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other
items at fair value at specified election dates. This Statement applies to all entities,
including not-for-profit organizations. SFAS 159 is effective as of the beginning of an
entitys first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. As such, the Company is
required to adopt these provisions at the beginning of the fiscal year ended December 31,
2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS 159 on its financial
statements. |
|
2) |
|
In June 2006, the FASB issued FIN 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes-an
Interpretation of FASB Statement NO. 109. This interpretation clarifies the accounting for
uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprises financial statements. This
interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the
financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be
taken in a tax return. This Interpretation also provides guidance on derecognition,
classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and
transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. As
such, the Company adopted these provisions at the beginning of the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2007. Adoption of FIN 48 did not have a significant effect on the Companys
financial statements. |
|
3) |
|
In September 2006, SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108 (SAB 108) was issued to
provide guidance on Quantifying Financial Statement Misstatements. SAB 108 addresses how
the effects of prior-year uncorrected misstatements should be considered when quantifying
misstatements in current-year financial statements. The SAB 108 requires registrants to
quantify misstatements using both the balance sheet and income statement approaches and to
evaluate whether either approach results in quantifying an error that is material in light
of relevant quantitative and qualitative factors. When the effect of initial adoption is
determined to be material, the SAB 108 allows registrants to record that effect as a
cumulative-effect to beginning-of-year retained earnings. SAB 108 is effective for fiscal
years ending after November 15, 2006 and early application is encouraged for any interim
period of the first fiscal year ending after that date. Adoption of SAB 108 did not have a
significant effect on the Companys financial statements. |
|
4) |
|
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. SFAS 157
defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands
disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective as of the beginning of
the first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. As such, the Company is
required to adopt these provisions at the beginning of the fiscal year ended December 31,
2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS 157 on its consolidated
financial statements. |

|
5) |
|
In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 141(R), Business Combinations. SFAS 141(R)
establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer recognizes and measures in its
financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, an any
noncontrolling interest in the acquiree, recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in
the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase, and determines what information
to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and
financial effects of the business combination. SFAS 141(R) is effective for fiscal years,
and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. As
such, the Company is required to adopt these provisions at the beginning of the fiscal year
ended December 31, 2009. The Company does not expect adoption of SFAS 141(R) to have a
material effect on its financial statements. |
|
6) |
|
In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated
Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51. SFAS 160 establishes accounting and
reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the
deconsolidation of a subsidiary. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim
periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. As such, the
Company is required to adopt these provisions at the beginning of the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2009. The Company does not expect SFAS 160 to have a material effect on its
financial statements. |
|
7) |
|
In December 2007, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 110 (SAB 110). SAB
110 permits companies to continue to use the simplified method, under certain
circumstances, in estimating the expected term of plain vanilla options beyond December
31, 2007. SAB 110 updates guidance provided in SAB 107 that previously stated that the
Staff would not expect a company to use the simplified method for share option grants after
December 31, 2007. Adoption of SAB 110 is not expected to have a material impact on the
Companys financial statements. |
|
8) |
|
In March 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ratified Emerging Issues Task
Force (EITF) Issue No. 06-10, Accounting for Collateral Assignment Split-Dollar Life
Insurance Agreements. EITF 06-10 provides guidance for determining a liability for the
postretirement benefit obligation as well as recognition and measurement of the associated
asset on the basis of the terms of the collateral assignment agreement. EITF 06-10 is
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007. As such, the Company is
required to adopt these provisions at the beginning of the fiscal year ended December 31,
2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of EITF 06-10 on its financial
statements. |

Stock Purchase Plans Under the Companys Employees Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP),
employees can purchase Veramark stock at a 15% discount to the lesser of the market price at the
beginning or ending date of the six-month periods ending approximately June 30th and
December 31st. Employees may elect to make after-tax payroll deduction of 1% to 10% of
compensation as defined by the plan to the extent that his or her rights to purchase stock under
this plan does not exceed Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000) worth of stock (determined at the
full market value of the shares at the time such option is granted), and only to the extent that,
immediately after the grant, such employee would not own or hold outstanding options to purchase
stock, such that his or her combined voting power would exceed 5% of all classes of capital stock
of the Company. Employee payroll deductions are for six-month period beginning approximately each
January 1 and July 1. Shares of the Companys common stock are purchased on or about June 30 or
December 31 unless the participant has either elected to withdraw from the plan or was terminated.
Purchased shares are restricted for sale or transfer for a six-month period. All participants
funds received prior to the ESPP purchase dates are held as Company liabilities without interest
or other increment. No dividends are paid on employee contributions until shares are purchased.
Plan participants purchased 23,917 shares at an average purchase price of $0.65 in 2007, 15,436
shares at an average purchase price of $0.60 in 2006 and 20,211 shares at an average purchase
price of $0.66 in 2005.

5. NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE (EPS)
SFAS 128 Earnings Per Share requires the Company to calculate its net income (loss) per share
based on basic and diluted net income (loss) per share, as defined. Basic EPS excludes
dilution and is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares
outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if
securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common
stock. The dilutive effect of outstanding options, issued by the Company, are reflected in
diluted EPS using the treasury stock method. Under the treasury stock method, options will
generally have a dilutive effect when the average market price of common stock during the
period exceeds the exercise price of the options.

There were no dilutive effects of stock options and warrants in 2007 or 2006, as the
effect would have been anti-dilutive due to the net loss incurred for those years. |
6. INDEMNIFICATION OF CUSTOMERS
The Companys agreements with customers generally require us to indemnify the customer against
claims that its software infringes third party patent, copyright, trademark or other
proprietary rights. Such indemnification obligations are generally limited in a variety of
industry-standard respects, including our right to replace an infringing product. As of
December 31, 2007, the Company had not experienced any material losses related to these
indemnification obligations and no material claims with respect thereto were outstanding. The
Company does not expect significant claims related to these indemnification obligations, and
consequently, the Company has not established any related reserves.

is a nonqualified plan that provides certain key employees defined pension benefits. For the

Effective with the year ended December 31, 2006 the Company adopted FASB No. 158 Employers
Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans. FASB 158 requires the
Company to recognize the over funded or under funded status of a defined postretirement plan as
an asset or liability in its balance sheet and to recognize changes in the funded status in the
year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income. The Statement further requires
companies to measure its plan assets and obligations as of the date of the companys fiscal
year end balance sheet. Accordingly the Company has moved the annual measurement date of its
Supplemental Executive Retirement Program from October 31 to December 31.
The Company maintains life insurance covering certain key employees under its Supplemental
Executive Retirement Program with the Company named as beneficiary. The Company intends to use
the death benefits of these policies, as well as loans against the accumulating cash surrender
value of the policies, to fund the pension obligation. The total death benefit associated with
these policies is $10.2 million, with an associated accumulated cash surrender value of
approximately $3,210,000 at December 31, 2007. The accumulated cash surrender values of these
policies at December 31, 2006, was approximately $2,866,000. All of the current accumulated
cash surrender values are available to meet current pension obligations, or to fund current
general operations of the Company in the event that should become necessary.
The projected future pension benefits under this plan are as follows, assuming a retirement age
of 65 and a life expectancy of 80 years for all participants:

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Based upon an evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Companys Chief
Executive Officer and Vice President of Finance (Chief Financial Officer) concluded that the
Companys disclosure controls and procedures are effective to provide reasonable assurance that
information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the
time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to the
Companys management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or
persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding
required disclosure. There have been no changes in the Companys internal controls over financial
reporting, that occurred during the period covered by this report, that have materially affected,
or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Companys internal controls over financial
reporting.
The Companys disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting
provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that all deficiencies in design or operation of
those control systems, or all instances of errors or fraud, will be prevented or detected. Those
control systems are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving the goals of those
systems in light of the Companys resources and nature of the Companys business operations. The
Companys disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting remain
subject to risks of human error and the risk that controls can be circumvented for wrongful
purposes by one or more individuals in management or non-management positions.
Managements Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
The management of Veramark Technologies, Inc. is responsible for establishing and maintaining
adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Internal control over financial reporting is a
process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting
and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles. These internal controls include policies and procedures that:
|
|
|
Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly
reflect the transactions and dispositions of assets; |
|
|
|
|
Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit
preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles; |
|
|
|
|
Provide reasonable assurance that receipts and expenditures are being made only in
accordance with the authorization of our management and directors; and |
|
|
|
|
Provide reasonable assurance that unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of
company assets that would have a material impact on financial statements will be prevented
or detected on a timely basis. |
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting is not intended to
provide absolute assurance that a misstatement of our financial statements would be prevented or
detected.
Management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of internal control over financial
reporting based on the framework in Internal Control Integrated Framework issued by the
Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on this evaluation,
management concluded that internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December
31, 2007.
