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 March 31, 2010 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.

Revenues for the first quarter ended March 31, 2010, of $2,782,000, increased 10% from revenues of $2,523,000 reported for the first quarter of 2009. The net income earned for the first quarter of 2010 of $67,000, representing $0.01 per diluted share, compared with a net loss of $180,000, or $0.02 per share, incurred for the first quarter of 2009.
The higher revenues realized in the first quarter, as compared to prior year results, reflect higher revenues derived from multi-year contracts providing Telecom Expense Management (TEM) and Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) services to a growing client base.
Orders received during the first quarter of 2010 totaled $3.0 million, down from $3.4 million for the first quarter of 2009, a quarter which included a single BPO order valued at $1.1 million. Orders for premise based licensed products and services increased 23% in the first quarter of 2010, from the same quarter of 2009.
Embedded backlog, which represents the value of orders received for products and services to be provided in future periods, increased to approximately $7.9 million at March 31, 2010, up from approximately $7.5 million at December 31, 2009.
Revenues
Revenues recognized for TEM and BPO services for the first quarter of 2010 increased 63% from revenues generated for the first quarter of 2009, accounting for 28% of first quarter 2010 revenues. For the first quarter of 2009, TEM and BPO revenues accounted for 19% of total revenues.
Revenues from the sale of licenses and services for premise based products decreased 5% from the prior year. Maintenance revenues on the installed based of premised based products however, increased 4% for the first quarter of 2010 as compared with the same quarter of 2009.
Gross Margin
Gross margin (defined as revenues minus cost of sales) totaled $2,046,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2010, an increase of 9% from gross margin of $1,878,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2009. The increased gross margin results from a combination of the higher revenues achieved in 2010 versus 2009, in addition to the positive effects of spreading fixed costs over a growing number of contracts.

Operating Expenses
Engineering and software development cost, net of the effects of capitalization, increased 8% from $295,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 to $320,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2010. Software development costs of $303,000 were capitalized during the first quarter of 2010, which compares with the capitalization $298,000 of software development costs in the first quarter of 2009.
Expenses for selling, general, and administrative (SG&A) expenses were reduced to $1,676,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2010, or 6%, from SG&A expenses of $1,774,000 for the same quarter of 2009.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash and short term investments at March 31, 2010, totaled $1,022,000, an increase of 8%, or $76,000 from the cash and short term investment balance of $946,000 at December 31, 2009. The Company continues to be debt free and maintains an unutilized $400,000 line of credit arrangement with a local banking institution.
Accounts receivable increased 5% from the December 31, 2009 balance of $1,315,000 to $1,379,000, at December 31, 2010. The reserve for bad debts increased slightly, from $24,000 at December 31, 2009 to $25,000 at March 31, 2010. There was no material write-off of customer balances in the first quarter of 2010.
Prepaid expenses of $445,000 at March 31, 2010, increased $56,000 from the December 31, 2009 balance of $389,000. Prepaid expenses include commissions paid to the Company’s sales force for orders received, often in advance of the associated revenue being recognized, and prepayments for business insurances and other expenditures whose economic benefit will be realized in future periods.
The net value of property and equipment at March 31, 2009 is $389,000, which compares with a total of $314,000 at December 31, 2009. Capital expenditures for the first quarter of 2010 totaled $127,000, which compares with capital expenditures of $124,000 for the same three months of 2009. Depreciation expense for the first quarter of 2010 was $52,000, down from the depreciation expense of $89,000 for the first quarter of 2009.
Software development costs capitalized and included in the balance sheet at March 31, 2010 of $2,889,000, decreased $17,000 from the December 31, 2009 balance of $2,906,000. Software development costs of $303,000 were capitalized in the first quarter of 2010, as compared with $298,000 of costs capitalized in the first quarter 2009. Amortization of software development costs capitalized in previous periods, which are charged to cost of sales, were $320,000 and $317,000 respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009.
Pension assets, which consist of the cash surrender values of company-owned life insurance contracts, increased from $2,996,000 at December 31, 2009 to $3,016,000 at March 31, 2010. These cash surrender values, combined with the death benefits associated with the policies, which are not included in the Company’s balance sheet, are intended to fully fund future pension obligations of the Company.
Current liabilities of $5,875,000 at March 31, 2010 increased $167,000, or 3% from $5,708,000 at December 31, 2009. The increase in current liabilities results from a $217,000 increase in deferred revenues, which in addition to requiring little or no future cash outlay, represent a significant portion of the Company’s embedded revenues. Deferred revenues consist primarily of the value of maintenance contracts billed to customers, for whom the Company has yet to provide the underlying service, and as a result, has not yet recognized the associated revenue. It is expected that the majority of the current deferred revenues will be recognized as revenue over the next four quarters. Liabilities for both accounts payable and accrued compensation rose slightly, $29,000 and $50,000, respectively, from December 31, 2009 balances, but were offset by a decrease in other accrued liabilities of $128,000.

Stockholders equity of $57,000 at March 31, 2010, increased $54,000 from the December 31, 2009 balance of $3,000, reflecting in part the first quarter net income.
In management’s view, current cash flow projections and operating expense levels, in combination with current cash balances and access to additional capital, provide sufficient resources to fund operations for the next twelve months and beyond.
Accounting Pronouncements
   
In October 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-13, Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements, which amends existing revenue recognition accounting pronouncements that are currently within the scope of FASB Codification Subtopic 605-25 (previously included within EITF Issue No. 00-21, Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables, or EITF 00-21). The consensus to EITF Issue No. 08-01, Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables, or EITF 08-01, provides accounting principles and application guidance on whether multiple deliverables exist, how the arrangement should be separated, and the consideration allocated. This guidance eliminates the requirement to establish the fair value of undelivered products and services and instead provides for separate revenue recognition based upon management’s estimate of the selling price for an undelivered item when there is no other means to determine the fair value of that undelivered item. EITF 00-21 previously required that the fair value of the undelivered item be the price of the item either sold in a separate transaction between unrelated third parties or the price charged for each item when the item is sold separately by the vendor. This was difficult to determine when the product was not individually sold because of its unique features. Under EITF 00-21, if the fair value of all of the elements in the arrangement was not determinable, then revenue was deferred until all of the items were delivered or fair value was determined. This new approach is effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. The Company will have to evaluate the impact of this standard on future revenue arrangements that we may enter into.
   
In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-06, topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, which amends existing fair value disclosure pronouncements. This update provides amendments to Subtopic 820-10 that require new disclosures as follows:
  1.  
Transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2. A reporting entity should disclose separately the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and describe the reasons for the transfers.
  2.  
Activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. In the reconciliation for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), a reporting entity should present separately information about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements (that is, on a gross basis rather than as one net number).

Table of Contents

     
This update also provides amendments to Subtopic 820-10 that clarify existing disclosures as follows:
  1.  
Level of disaggregation. A reporting entity should provide fair value measurement disclosures for each class of assets and liabilities. A class is often a subset of assets or liabilities within a line item in the statement of financial position. A reporting entity needs to use judgment in determining the appropriate classes of assets and liabilities.
  2.  
Disclosures about inputs and valuation techniques. A reporting entity should provide disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. Those disclosures are required for fair value measurements that fall in either Level 2 or Level 3.
     
This update also includes conforming amendments to the guidance on employers’ disclosures about postretirement benefit plan assets (Subtopic 715-20). The conforming amendments to Subtopic 715-20 change the terminology from major categories of assets to classes of assets and provide a cross reference to the guidance of Subtopic 820-10 on how to determine appropriate classes to present fair value disclosures.
 
     
This update is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not expect this to have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
 
   
In April 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-13, topic 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation, which adds clarification that an employee share-based award with an exercise price denominated in the currency of a market in which a substantial portion of the entity’s equity securities trades should not be considered to contain a condition that is not a market, performance, or service condition. Therefore, an entity would not classify such an award as a liability if it otherwise qualifies as an equity. This update is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2010. The Company does not expect this to 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 as described below. In each situation, management is required to make estimates about the effects of matters or future events that are inherently uncertain.
Revenue Recognition
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.

 

14


Table of Contents

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. The Company uses 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 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 the Company 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.
Capitalization of Software Development
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. The Company uses what it believes are reasonable assumptions and where applicable, established valuation techniques in making its estimates.

Allowance For Doubtful Accounts
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.
Pension Liability
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
The Company 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 the Company’s products, reverse engineer or obtain and use information that the Company 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 the Company’s intellectual property could have a material adverse effect on its business and results of operations. Furthermore, although the Company 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 the Company in the future with respect to current or future products. Any such assertion could require the Company 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 the Company lose a major customer, or if a managed service contract is delayed, reduced, or cancelled, the Company’s 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
The Company 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 the Company. 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 the Company’s 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, the Company’s revenue will be adversely affected. Additionally, the Company’s revenues would be unfavorably impacted if customers reduce their purchases of new software products or upgrades to existing products.
New Products and Services
The Company is in the process of transforming it’s business model from a company providing largely premise based software products and services to one offering hosted solutions providing a wide variety of TEM processes, such as wireless management, invoice processing, and reporting — as managed services under multi year arrangements. The effect of this transformation will be a reduction in the amount of revenues recognized initially on any given contract than would be realized from a one- time sale of software, but higher embedded future revenues over the life of the contract. Since major components of the Company’s cost structure including personnel and facility costs are relatively fixed based on anticipated revenues, period to period comparisons of the Company’s operating results should not be relied upon as an indicator of future performance.
Competition
The Company 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 the Company. 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
The Company’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 the Company to their specific specifications, while others resell the Company’s products. Any loss of the continued availability of those relationships could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business and results of operations.
Security and Privacy Breaches in the Company Systems May Damage Client Relations and Inhibit our Growth
The uninterrupted operation of the Company’s hosted solutions and the confidentiality of third party information that resides on the Company’s systems is critical to our business. The Company has what it believes to be sufficient security in place to prevent major interruptions in service and to prevent unauthorized access. Any failure in the Company’s security and privacy measures could have a material adverse impact on it’s financial position and results of operations.

Item 3  
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.
Item 4  
Controls and Procedures
Based upon an evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Treasurer (Chief Accounting Officer) concluded that the Company’s 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 SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to the Company’s 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 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.
