NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE (EPS)
   
ASC 260-10 (SFAS 128) “Earnings Per Share” as amended in September 2009, 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.

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 September 30, 2009 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.
(7)

Overview
Revenues of $2,511,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2009 decreased 8% from revenues of $2,724,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2008. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, revenues of $7,513,000 decreased 5% from revenues of $7,934,000 for the first nine months of 2008. The net loss of $350,000, or $0.04 per share, for the three months ended September 30, 2009, and $1,072,000, or $0.11 per share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, compare with losses of $36,000, or $0.00 per share, and $490,000, or $0.05 per share, for the same three and nine month periods of 2008. The third quarter 2009 loss of $350,000 was an improvement from the loss of $542,000 incurred for the second quarter of the year.
Orders booked for the quarter ended September 30, 2009 of $2,794,000 increased 19% from orders booked of $2,340,000 in the second quarter of 2009. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, orders booked of $8,525,000 increased 9% from orders booked for the first nine months of 2008, including a 269% increase in orders for Telecom Expense Management (TEM), Business Process Outsourcing (BPO), and SaaS (Software as a Service) offerings. As a result, the value of embedded revenues has grown 15% from approximately $6.4 million at the end of 2008 to over $7.4 million at September 30, 2009. Embedded revenues represent the value of orders received for services to be performed in future periods, at which time the associated revenue will be recognized in the Company’s Statement of Operations. Embedded revenues consist of TEM, BPO, and SaaS services provided on a monthly basis pursuant to multi-year contracts, in addition to maintenance, training and installation services provided in conjunction with the direct sale of software products.
Revenues
Revenues from managed service contracts for TEM, BPO, and SaaS services increased 78% and 35% respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 as compared with the same three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2008. Revenues from the sales of premise based software products and services, the segment of the market most impacted by current economic conditions, decreased 22% for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 13% for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 from the same three and nine months periods of 2008.
Gross Margin
Gross margin (sales less cost of sales) of $1,790,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2009 decreased 11% from the gross margin of $2,003,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2008. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009 gross margin of $5,471,000 decreased 6% from the margin of $5,790,000 earned for the first nine months of 2008. For both nine month periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, as a percentage of revenues, gross margins remained stable at 73%.

Operating Expenses
Net engineering and software development expenses of $221,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and $794,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 decreased 43% and 22%, respectively, from the same three and nine month periods of 2008. The reduction in expense levels result from a higher percentage of software development costs capitalized in 2009 than occurred in 2008. For the first nine months of 2009 we capitalized $1,040,000 of software developments costs versus $636,000 of software developments costs for the first nine months of 2008. The chart below summarizes gross expenses for engineering and software developments costs, costs capitalized, and the resulting net engineering and software developments costs included in the Statement of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008.

  $ 221,000     $ 386,000     $ 794,000     $ 1,018,000  
 
                       
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses of $1,937,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2009 increased 15% from the same quarter of 2008. SG&A expenses of $5,759,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, increased 8% from the same period of 2008. A major factor in the increased SG&A expenses, for both periods of 2009 as compared with the prior year, was a major realignment of our direct sales force to better position ourselves in the TEM/BPO/SaaS marketplace.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our total cash position (cash plus short term investments) was $1,057,000 at September 30, 2009, which compares with $1,378,000 at June 30, 2009 and $1,997,000 at December 31, 2008. In addition to the cash availability referenced above, the Company maintains a line of credit arrangement with a local bank for up to $400,000, as well as access to approximately $2.9 million of cash surrender values associated with Company-owned life insurance contracts available to augment cash flows should that become necessary. We do not anticipate a requirement to access either the credit line or cash surrender values during the fourth quarter of 2009.
Accounts receivable at September 30, 2009 were $1,148,000, net of a reserve for bad debts of $21,000. At December 31, 2008, accounts receivables totaled $1,047,000, net of a reserve for bad debts of $30,000. The reduction in bad debt reserve, despite the increase in total receivables, reflects the payment record of our customer base.

Prepaid expenses and other current assets of $438,000 at September 30, 2009 increased from $244,000 at December 31, 2008. The increase results primarily from an increase in prepaid commissions paid our direct sales force on long term managed service contracts, the revenues and commissions costs of which will be recognized in future periods.
Property and equipment, net of depreciation at September 30, 2009 was $358,000, down 21% from the December 31, 2008 balance of $456,000. During the first nine months of 2009, we purchased $137,000 of new capital equipment which compares with $151,000 of capital purchases for the first nine months of 2008. $465,000 of obsolete and outdated assets have been retired in 2009, virtually all of which had been fully depreciated.
Capitalized development costs at September 30, 2009 of $2,897,000, increased 7% from the December 31, 2008 total of $2,720,000. Software development costs capitalized in 2009 were $403,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and $1,040,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. Capitalized development costs for the same three and nine months periods of 2008 were $223,000 and $636,000, respectively. Amortization expenses associated with completed development projects are charged to cost of sales in the Company’s statement of operations. Amortization expenses totaled $263,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and $863,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. For 2008, amortization expenses were $302,000 and $852,000 for the same thee and nine month periods.
Pension assets consist of the cash surrender values on a series of company-owned life insurance policies. The cash surrender values, which total $2,876,000 at September 30, 2009, along with the associated death benefit of those policies, are designed fund future pension obligations. The death benefits attached to those policies totals $10.2 million and are not included on the Company’s balance sheets. As referenced above, the cash surrender values are available to fund current or future operations, if management and the Board of Directors deems appropriate.
Current liabilities of $5,225,000 at September 30, 2009 increased 3%, or $161,000 from the December 31, 2008 total of $5,064,000, as a result of a $197,000 increase in accounts payable and an $88,000 increase in accrued compensation. The increase in accounts payable includes telecom bills to be paid in the fourth quarter on behalf of one of our BPO clients. The increase in accrued compensation is due to the timing of the Company’s bi-weekly payroll.
As a result of the operating losses incurred for the first thee quarters of 2009, stockholders equity at September 30, 2009 declined to a negative $230,000, from a positive $502,000 at December 31, 2008.
Despite the decrease in equity, it is management’s opinion that given the Company’s total cash position, projected operating expense levels, and the absence of debt, sufficient resources exist to fund operations and strategic objectives for the next twelve months and beyond.

Accounting Pronouncements
  1)  
In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805-10, formerly Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141(R), “Business Combinations”. ASC 805-10 establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, 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. ASC 805-10 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. As such, the Company adopted these provisions at the beginning of the fiscal year ending December 31, 2009. Adoption of ASC 805-10 did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
  2)  
In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASC 810-10, formerly SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51”. ASC 810-10 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 adopted these provisions at the beginning of the fiscal year ending December 31, 2009. Adoption of ASC 810-10 did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
  3)  
In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASC 815-10, formerly (“SFAS”) No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133”. ASC 815-10 requires enhanced disclosures about an entity’s derivative and hedging activities. ASC 815-10 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008 with early application encouraged. As such, the Company adopted these provisions at the beginning of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009. Adoption of ASC 815-10 did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
  4)  
In May 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASC 944, formerly SFAS No. 163, “Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60” (“SFAS 163”). ASC 944 interprets Statement 60 and amends existing accounting pronouncements to clarify their application to the financial guarantee insurance contracts included within the scope of that Statement. ASC 944 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and all interim periods within those fiscal years. As such, the Company adopted these provisions at the beginning of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009. Adoption of ASC 944 did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
  5)  
In June 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASC 260-10, formerly FASB Staff Position (FSP) EITF 03-6-1, “Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions are Participating Securities”. ASC 260-10 clarifies that share-based payment awards that entitle their holders to receive nonforfeitable dividends or dividend equivalents before vesting should be considered participating securities. We have granted and expect to continue to grant restricted stock that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends and will be considered participating securities upon adoption of ASC 260-10. As participating securities, we will be required to include these instruments in the calculation of our basic earnings per share (“EPS”), and we will need to calculate basic EPS using the “two-class method.” Restricted stock is currently included in our dilutive EPS calculation using the treasury stock method. The two-class method of computing EPS is an earnings allocation formula that determines EPS for each class of common stock and participating security according to dividends declared (or accumulated) and participation rights in undistributed earnings. ASC 260-10 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and all interim periods within those fiscal years. As such, the Company adopted these provisions at the beginning of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009. Adoption of ASC 260-10 did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

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 ASC 985-605, formerly 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”, and under ASC 605-25, formerly 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 collectability 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.

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 ASC 985-20, formerly 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.

Risk Factors
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 this report: economic, competitive, governmental and technological factors, increased operating costs, failure to obtain necessary financing, risks related to natural disasters and financial market fluctuations. Such factors also include:
Intellectual Property Rights
Veramark regards its products as proprietary and attempts to protect them 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.
Existing Customer Base
We derive an increasingly significant portion of our revenues from multi- year managed service contracts. As a result, if we lose a major customer, or if a managed service contract is delayed, reduced, or cancelled, our revenues could be adversely affected. In addition, customers who have accounted for significant revenues in the past may not generate the same amount of revenues in future periods.
Product Development
Veramark has made significant investments in research, development and marketing for new products, services and technologies, including the VeraSMART software offering and its hosted or managed 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. 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 or services, could adversely affect Veramark revenues.
Declines in Demand for Software
If overall market demands for software and computer devices generally, as well as call accounting software or enterprise level products and services 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.
New Products and Services
Veramark is in the process of transforming its business model from a company selling largely premise based software products and services, to one offering hosted solutions providing a wide variety of TEM/BPO processes, such as wireless management, invoice processing and payment, and expanded reporting capabilities. These services are generally provided under multi-year arrangements, and revenues are generally recognized over the life of the arrangements. Consequently, such sales are expected to result in less revenue being recognized at the beginning of a multi-year arrangement than would be recognized with a one-time sale of software.

Table of Contents

Competition
Veramark experiences intense 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.
Security and Privacy Breaches in our Systems May Damage Client Relations and Inhibit our Growth
The uninterrupted operation of our hosted solutions and the confidentiality of third party information that resides on our systems is critical to our business. We have what we believe to be sufficient security in place to prevent major interruptions in service and to prevent unauthorized access. Any failure in our security and privacy measures could have a material adverse impact on our financial position and results of operations.

Item 4  
Controls and Procedures
Our management evaluated, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act)), as of the end of such period, are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms. There have been no significant changes in the Company’s 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 Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.
The Company’s 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 Company’s resources and nature of the Company’s business operations. The Company’s 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.
This Quarterly Report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in the Quarterly Report.
