(5) NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE (EPS)
SFAS 128 “Earnings Per Share” requires the Company to calculate 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 only have a dilutive effect when the average market price of common stock during the period exceeds the exercise price of the options.

(6) INDEMNIFICATION OF CUSTOMERS
Our agreements with customers generally require us to indemnify the customer against claims that our 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 June 30, 2008 we had not experienced any material losses related to these indemnification obligations and no material claims with respect thereto were outstanding. We do not expect significant claims related to these indemnification obligations, and consequently, we have not established any related reserves.

Overview
Sales of $2,538,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2008 decreased from sales of $3,048,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2007. For the six months ended June 30, 2008 sales of $5,210,000 decreased from sales of $6,397,000 for the first six months of 2007. The decline in year to date sales results from a non-recurring $800,000 component of a managed service contract with Sears Holding Corporation (SHC) recorded as revenue in the first quarter of 2007 and approximately $400,000 of maintenance revenues recognized during the first half of 2007 from the now discontinued Quantum series of products.
For the three months ended June 30, 2008 we incurred a net loss of $260,000, or $0.03 per share, which compared with a net loss of $320,000, for the same quarter of 2007, also representing $0.03 per share. The net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2008 of $454,000, or $0.05 per share, compares with a net loss of $203,000, or $0.02 per share, for the first six months of 2007.
Orders booked of $3,267,000 for the second quarter ended June 30, 2008 increased 33% from orders booked during the first quarter of 2008. Orders booked for the first six months of 2008 of $5,722,000 increased 6% from orders booked for the first six months of 2007.
In late May, the Company announced the release of the VeraSMART 8.0 Communications Management Suite introducing new international functionality designed to assist multinational organizations in reducing the cost of their global communications networks. The development of VeraSMART 8.0 came in response to requests from the many Fortune 500 corporations currently utilizing VeraSMART products, and is viewed as an essential component of a longer-term strategy to expand our markets beyond North America.
In June Veramark’s VeraSMART Communications Management Suite received a 2007 product of the year award from Technology Marketing Corporation (TMC) for excellence in the advancement of voice, data, and /or video communications. This award recognized the VeraSMART solution for its ability to enable organizations to gain control over their telecommunication spend across all telecom expense management processes including: inventory audit and optimization, procurement and provisioning, invoice processing and payment, wireless management, asset and inventory management and call accounting.

Sales
Sales of VeraSMART products and services, though down slightly for the second quarter of 2008 as compared with the same quarter of 2007, increased 11% for the six months ended June 30, 2008 as compared with the first six months of 2007. VeraSMART product and services accounted for 31% of revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2008, up from 23% of total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2007.
Revenues generated from managed service contracts decreased 25% and 37% respectively, for the three and six months periods ended June 30, 2008 as compared with the same periods of 2007, entirely as a result of the nonrecurring revenues recorded in the first quarter of 2007 associated with the SHC managed service contract referred to in the overview of this report. The recurring portion of revenues associated with managed service contracts, including SHC, increased 34% for the first six months of 2008 from revenues generated for the first six months of 2007. During the second quarter of 2008 Thornton Americas Holding LLC, The Employment Development Division of the State of California and DHL Delivery were added to our portfolio of managed service clients, with revenues from those contracts expected to commence in the third quarter.
Sales of eCAS products and services decreased 8% for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 14% for the six months ended June 30, 2008 as compared with the same period of 2007. The reduced sales of eCAS continue the trend of lower sales realized from the largest distribution channel for eCAS, Avaya, Inc and its master distribution channels.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales of $708,000 for the three months ended June 30 , 2008 and $1,423,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 decreased 6% and 18% respectively from cost of sales of $750,000 and $1,738,000 for the same three and six month periods of 2007. The reduction in cost of sales for both periods as compared with the prior year reflects lower costs associated with the SHC managed service contract for which a third party was utilized to provide certain portions of the contracted services.
Due to lower sales volumes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 as compared with the same periods of 2007 , year to date gross margin (sales less cost of sales) as a percentage of sales remained unchanged from the prior year, representing 73% of sales.
Operating Expenses
Engineering and software development costs, net of software capitalization, of $334,000 and $632,000 increased from $297,000 and $548,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007, respectively. The increase in net expenses resulted from a reduction in development costs capitalized during the first half of 2008 as compared with the prior year. The chart below displays gross expenditures for engineering and software development, costs capitalized, and the resulting net engineering and software development costs charged to the Statement of Operations for the three and six month periods ended June 2008 and 2007.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense for the three months ended June 30, 2008 of $1,771,000 decreased 24% from SG&A expenses of $2,335,000 for the same three months of 2007. For the six months ended June 30, 2008 SG&A expenses of $3,643,000 decreased 16% from expenses of $4,339,000 for the first six months of 2007. The significant decrease in expense levels is attributable to two factors. The first has been an aggressive restructuring of all functional areas within the organization which has reduced our direct selling, administrative, and support & service costs while at the same time increasing operating efficiencies. As a result of these efforts, payroll, benefit, and pension costs have been reduced. Secondly, the second quarter of 2007 included approximately $280,000 of compensation expense associated with a contractual grant of stock options to the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our total cash position (cash on hand plus short-term investments) totaled $2,026,000 at June 30, 2008, relatively unchanged from the cash position of $2,049,000 at March 31, 2008. The total cash position at December 31, 2007 was $2,206,000. During the next two quarters we anticipate a 10-15% decrease in cash balances as we invest in upgrades to our internal infrastructure.
Accounts receivable at June 30, 2008 of $960,000 declined from accounts receivable of $1,303,000 at December 31, 2007 due to a combination of lower sales volumes and the timing of payments from customers. The reserve for bad debts at June 30, 2008 is $32,000, up slightly from a bad debt reserve of $30,000 at December 31, 2007. The Company continues to experience no customer collection problems of significance.
Prepaid expenses at June 30, 2008 of $302,000 consisting primarily of the unutilized portion of business insurances and maintenance contracts on specified equipment increased 19% from the December 31, 2007 balance of $254,000. The increase in prepaid expenses reflect the renewal of business insurance policies, most of which have renewal dates falling in the first half of the year, and an increase in prepaid commissions for orders received in the second quarter that will be recognized as revenue in future periods.
During the second quarter of 2008 capital equipment purchases totaled $75,000 increasing total capital expenditures to $130,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2008. Capital spending for the first six months of 2007 totaled $40,000. During the first six months of 2008 we disposed of $2,180,000 of capital assets, primarily computer equipment, office furniture and fixtures deemed to be obsolete, or no longer in service. The net residual value of those assets totaled $15,000 which has been charged against operations.

At June 30, 2008 the net value of software development costs capitalized and included in the Company’s balance sheet is $2,901,000, a reduction of 5% from capitalized development costs of $3,038,000 at December 31, 2007. For the six months ended June 30, 2008 we have capitalized $413,000 of software development costs as compared to $525,000 for the first six months of 2007. Amortization expense charged to cost of sales for the six months ended June 30, 2008 total $550,000 versus amortization expense of $445,000 for the first six months of 2007.
Pension assets, consisting of the cash surrender values of company-owned life insurance contracts designed to fund future pension obligations increased 2% from $3,210,000 at December 31, 2007 to $3,281,000 at June 30 2008. These cash surrender values are fully available to support current operating needs if required.
Total current liabilities of $5,249,000 at June 30, 2008 decreased 2% from the December 31, 2007 total of $5,331,000 due to a reduction of $210,000 in accrued compensation costs accrued at the end of 2007 primarily associated with the retirement of the company’s former Chief Executive Officer, and a decrease in vacation accruals required. The decrease in accrued compensation costs served to offset a $64,000 increase in accounts payable and an $118,000 increase in deferred revenues from December 31, 2007 balances. Deferred revenues consist of the unrecognized portions of orders received from customers for a variety of services including maintenance, training, and implementation services not yet provided, and as such, represent a portion of our total backlog. The majority of the current deferred revenues will be recognized as revenue over the next twelve months.
Stockholders equity at June 30, 2008 is $633,000 as compared to $992,000 at December 31, 2007. During the first six months of 2008 employees have exercised 119,000 stock options and purchased 25,120 shares of common stock through the employees stock purchase plan, yielding proceeds to the company of $69,000.
Given the Company’s overall cash position, operating expense levels and absence of debt, it is management’s opinion that sufficient resources and liquidity exist to fully fund operations and strategic initiatives for the next twelve months and beyond.

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 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 Company’s 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 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.

 

18


Table of Contents

The Company’s 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.
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.
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 Company’s 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.

Table of Contents

Issues and Risks
The following factors, among others discussed herein and in the Company’s 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 Veramark’s products, reverse engineer or obtain and use information that Veramark regards as proprietary. The laws of some foreign countries do not protect Veramark’s proprietary rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States. Any misappropriation of Veramark’s 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 other’s 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, Veramark’s revenue will be adversely affected. Additionally, Veramark’s 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 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
Veramark’s 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 Veramark’s products. Any loss of the continued availability of those relationships could have a material adverse effect on Veramark’s business and results of operations.
