PART I
Item 1 Business
Veramark Technologies, Inc. (the Company or Veramark), was originally incorporated under the
name MOSCOM Corporation in New York in January 1983 and reincorporated in Delaware in 1984. The
Companys name was changed to Veramark Technologies, Inc. on June 15, 1998.
For over 20 years, Veramark (www.veramark.com) has set the industry standard for
communication cost control solutions by delivering technological excellence, application experience
and process expertise. Veramarks completely web-based software architecture integrates
communications management software with operation support systems (OSS) software. These
integrated solutions include Telemanagement, Work Flow management, and Directory / Information
Management a broad portfolio of products and services that allows enterprises to measurably
reduce communications expenses, optimize network performance, increase productivity and improve
enterprise security. Veramark solutions are available as premise-based solutions or as a totally
managed solution based on an Application Service Provider (ASP) model.
Veramarks totally web-based software architecture leverages leading edge technology to
consistently deliver enterprise spend management solutions that are easy-to-use, install and
maintain. The companys leadership position is demonstrated by relationships with telecoms elite
Avaya®, Cisco Systems®, Aastra® Intecom, Nortel Networks®, NEC® America, AT&T Inc., Sprint®, and
other customers that range from the Fortune 500, to the public sector, and small businesses.
Products and Services
VeraSMART®
Our enterprise-level software solution, VeraSMART®, is a highly modular solution that takes
advantage of its totally web-based design to quickly and effectively deliver business-critical
information to the people who need it. The modularity of the system allows clients to purchase the
4
modules they need today, while providing an option to expand the system through future purchases as
needed.
Released in the second quarter of 2003, VeraSMART 1.0 delivered SMART Directory, the suites
core module, and SMART Call Accounting. This version was the Companys initial offering for the
large enterprise market and effectively harnessed the speed and flexibility of Veramarks totally
web-based endeavor architecture. VeraSMART 1.0 provided enterprise clients with unprecedented
ability to see and control their telecommunications usage expenses.
The VeraSMART 2.0 software, released in the second quarter of 2004, brought even more ease and
power to enterprise cost management. VeraSMART 2.0 featured enhancements to SMART Directory and
SMART Call Accounting, as well as introducing three new modules: SMART Allocation, SMART Invoice
Management and SMART Online Directory. Each new module was designed to expand the VeraSMART
platform beyond management of telecom use, to include the management of telecom assets,
infrastructure, fixed costs, and ultimately wireless device costs; presenting a more robust
management tool to enterprise customers. The SMART Online Directory solution, a natural extension
of the SMART Directory core, allows large enterprise clients to put frequently needed contact
information (extension number, cell phone or pager numbers, email and traditional mailing
addresses, and more) on the desktop of any network connected user, effectively expanding the
applications appeal and more tightly linking it to the day-to-day operations of the enterprise.
VeraSMART 2.0 also introduced EZ-Share, Veramarks exclusive data configuration and export
solution, which facilitates much tighter integration of VeraSMART into enterprise back-office
systems, like general ledgers and enterprise resource management systems.
VeraSMART 3.0 software, released in the first quarter of 2005, provided numerous enhancements
to the existing suite of modules and introduced Electronic Billing Format (EBF) which allows
customers to electronically import third-party product and service invoices, thereby streamlining
the spend management process.
VeraSMART 4.0, generally available since September 2005, is the most current release of
Veramarks enterprise platform. VeraSMART 4.0 added flexible workflow and helpdesk management
functionality with the introduction of SMART Work Order and Online Ticket Manager. SMART Work Order
allows customers to take control of their work flow management environments by allowing
administrators to configure rules which define and enforce corporate policies. Online Ticket
Manager reduces administrative overhead by providing an online ticket request mechanism to any
network connected user, complete with an up-to-date online ticket status.
Todays VeraSMART consists of these modules:
|
|
|
SMART Directory, the central repository for personnel and organization data. It provides
a complete personnel profile that includes location and affiliation to cost centers within
the corporate structure. It also provides the tools for system-wide configuration,
security, reports, and database/system-wide diagnostic utilities. |
|
|
|
|
SMART Online Directory, which provides quick, customizable desktop access to key
contacts and personnel information contained in the SMART Directory module. Corporate |
5
|
|
|
users can maintain their own phone listings, which may consist of any company entries plus personal
numbers they might wish to add. |
|
|
|
|
SMART Call Accounting provides the ability to control usage-based charges. SMART Call
Accounting connects to business telephone systems (PBXs, IP-PBXs, Key Systems, etc.) to
collect, store, and rate information on every telephone call made or received. |
|
|
|
|
SMART Allocation, which allows the user to accurately distribute fixed charges on a
one-time, recurring and pro-rated basis for equipment, services, and more to any individual
or group. Because it has the ability to distribute any charges, it can provide a complete
picture of all telecom costs. |
|
|
|
|
SMART Invoice Management, which allows the allocation of outside vendor charges by
individual, logical functional group or customized distribution list. SMART Invoice
Management gives you the power to track and analyze all your communications costs, helping
you prevent overpayments, while identifying areas for potential savings. Electronic
Billing Format (EBF) gives you the ability to import third-party vendor invoices, saving
you valuable time and assuring an unprecedented degree of accuracy. |
|
|
|
|
SMART Work Order, provides the user with the ability to gain control over their workflow
management environment. SMART Work Order can effectively track issues, work requests,
directory updates and support calls and manage OSS process (such as helpdesk, bug tracking,
and facilities management) according to highly configurable, easy to use process rules. |
|
|
|
|
SMART Wireless Management, provides the ability to generate reports that show actual
costs for each wireless device by airtime, roaming, toll charges, surcharges, taxes, and
more. It then identifies your carriers optimum plan for each wireless device, even those
in pooled-minute or shared plans. |
Going forward Veramark plans to continue increasing VeraSMARTs functionality. Additional
functionality being considered for the VeraSMART platform include: Asset/Inventory Management, and
Cable Management.
eCAS®
Veramarks totally web-based eCAS Call Accounting software system connects to business
telephone systems (PBXs, IP-PBXs, Key Systems, etc.) to collect, store, and rate information on
every telephone call made or received.
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 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 like productivity and
security are top concerns. Veramarks eCAS gives small and mid-size businesses (SME) a
cost-effective method to measure productivity, improve business security, reduce fraud, and
optimize network
6
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; |
|
|
|
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; |
In 2005, Veramark released eCAS 3.1. Highlights of the new version included enhanced rating
capabilities, security enhancements, support for new VoIP switches and the release of Online
Directory, which provides access to contact information contained in the eCAS directory.
The software is installed on the clients network and is accessed entirely through a standard
Internet browser, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator. This 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 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.
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 locations have the option to use Veramarks
Pollable Storage Unit (PSU). The PSU is a solid-state buffer box that collects call record data
from circuit-switched PBXs and Key Systems and stores the data until polled by the call accounting
system. Veramarks Service Bureau clients use these devices extensively. In 2004, Veramark
introduced a new, network ready version of the PSU, and retired its predecessor.
Outsourced Solutions Group
For companies that recognize the benefits of communications spend management, but lack the
means or desire to utilize internal staff and equipment to perform it, Veramarks Outsourcing team
provides completely hosted or partially hosted (e.g., Application Service Provider) solutions.
Using the same expense management software developed by Veramark for licensing, Veramark can
remotely poll, process, and report on telecommunications activity and data, then provide
comprehensive reports and analysis to remote clients in a variety of formats. Outsourced Solution
7
customers can access their data remotely and securely by Internet login, email, fax, or CD-ROM.
Clients that opt for outsourced solutions generally sign multi-year contracts and pay for services
monthly based on total call records processed and delivery of other value-added services.
Professional Services and Maintenance
To varying degrees, all of the Companys products offer an opportunity to provide professional
services to customers on a fee basis. These sales typically include installation, implementation,
and training services, and often include software customization and data conversion services.
Veramark provides software support and maintenance for an annual fee. Software support and
maintenance includes post warranty support via telephone or modem as well as new software service
pack releases. Annual fees for maintenance range from 1520% of the original software license fee,
depending upon the hours and priority of support and whether a distributor plays an intermediary
support role.
Marketing and Sales
Veramarks marketing and sales personnel are located at its headquarters in Pittsford, New
York, and 8 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, 2005, Veramark had a backlog of $3,426,052, the majority of which is expected
to be recognized as revenue during 2006. Backlog as of December 31, 2004 was $1,651,569. Backlog
is not deemed to be a material indicator of 2006 revenues.
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
9
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 28, 2006 Veramark employed 89 full-time personnel. Veramarks employees are
not represented by any labor unions.
Item 2 Properties
The Companys principal administrative office and manufacturing facility is located in a
one-story building in Pittsford, New York. Veramark presently leases approximately 65,000 square
feet of the building, of which approximately 8,600 square feet is currently sub-let. The term of
the lease expires on October 31, 2007. Under the terms of that agreement the Company has the
option to renew the existing lease for an additional three years through October 31, 2010.
The Company also occupies 2,429 square feet of a building in Westlake Village, California,
pursuant to a lease that expires on March 31, 2007.
Item 3 Legal Proceedings
There are no material pending legal proceedings to which the Company is currently a party or
of which any of its property is the subject.
Item 4 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
None.

2005 Compared with 2004
Overview
Veramarks sales for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2005 of $2,902,000 represented an
increase of 9% from the sales achieved for the third quarter of 2005. Sales for the fourth quarter
of 2004 were $3,013,000. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2005 sales of $10,859,000
compared with sales of $11,036,000 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2004.
For the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2005 our net income of $266,000, or $0.03 per diluted
share compared with a net income of $416,000, or $0.04 per diluted share for the same quarter of
2004. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2005, net income of $382,000 or $0.04 per diluted
share, represents an improvement of $496,000 from the net loss of $114,000, or $0.01 per share,
incurred for the twelve months ended December 31, 2004.
During 2005 we realized an increase in orders booked for each fiscal quarter, with orders
increasing from approximately $2.3 million for the first quarter of the year to over $2.9 million
for the fourth quarter of 2005. The steady growth in orders was primarily attributable to new
orders for VeraSMART, our enterprise level platform, which we have continued to expand in terms of
features and functionality since its inception in 2003. In late September of 2005 we announced the
release of VeraSMART 4.0. This latest version of VeraSMART introduced SMART Work Order, a module
that provides flexible workflow and helpdesk management tools to the overall platform. With this
release, VeraSMART now encompasses integrated modules for Help Desk/Trouble Ticket, Work order,
Directory, Allocation, Call Accounting, Invoice Management, Wireless Management and On-Line
Directory. The continued expansion of the capabilities of VeraSMART is integral to the success of
our strategy to address business opportunities and provide network and work flow solutions to
customers beyond the telemanagement applications on which the Company had traditionally been
focused for much of its history.
In addition to the quarterly increases in orders booked for 2005 our balance sheet was
significantly strengthened by the generation of positive cash flows throughout the year. From a
total cash and
12
investment position of $978,000 at March 31 of this year, we were able to increase total cash and
investments to $1,081,000 at June 30, $1,257,000 at September 30 and to $1,512,000 at December 31.
This increase in cash and investment position was achieved through careful monitoring of operating
expenses and staffing levels. For the full year ended December 31 2005, total gross operating
expenses of $9,791,000 were 8% lower than operating expenses incurred for the year ended December
31, 2004 of $10,670,000.
During 2005 we capitalized $1,175,000 of software development costs associated with versions 3.0
and 4.0 of VeraSMART, down from $1,279,000 of software capitalization during 2004. The development
of version 5.0 of VeraSMART, which will introduce a state-of-the-art Inventory and Assets module,
is currently in development with product launch expected late in the second quarter of 2006.
Sales
Sales of VeraSMART increased 43% for the year ended December 31, 2005 as compared with prior year
results, accounting for 22% and 18% of total sales for the three and twelve months ended December
31, 2005 respectively. Additionally Veramark continues to earn revenue from VeraSMARTS
predecessor product, The Quantum Series, primarily in the form of maintenance contracts. Though
maintenance revenues derived from Quantum are declining as sales of that product were discontinued
in 2003, new sales of VeraSMART product and services are providing growth to the overall sales of
enterprise level products. For the year ended December 31, 2005 total enterprise revenues increased
13% from 2004 results accounting for 36% of total 2005 revenue, up from 31% of total revenues for
2004.
Sales of the Companys core telemanagement product, eCAS, decreased 3% for the twelve months ended
December 31, 2005 as compared with the twelve months ended December 31, 2004. eCAS continues to be
sold primarily on a direct basis to Avaya Inc, or through Avayas master distributor channels. For
the year ended December 31, 2005 direct sales to Avaya decreased 17% from 2004 levels and sales to
Avayas master distributor channels decreased 2%. We continue our efforts to expand sales of eCAS
through alternative channels of distribution, and though experiencing some success, those newer
channels have not as yet provided sufficient sales volumes to make up for the shortfall. In total,
sales of eCAS products and services were 3% lower than a year ago and accounted for 59% of total
revenues for 2005 versus 60% of total revenues for 2004.
Veramark also offers an Outsourced Solutions Group for companies that recognize the benefits of
better managing their telecommunication and network management needs but lack either the means or
desire to utilize internal staff or equipment to perform the function. Veramarks Outsourcing
Group provides completely hosted or partially hosted solutions. Revenues derived from the
outsourced solutions group decreased 21% in 2005 as compared with 2004 results due to the loss of a
major client through its acquisition early in the year. Despite the reduced revenues in 2005 the
Company views the providing of outsourced solutions as a major growth area for the future. In the
last four months of 2005 we began providing outsourced services to new two clients, including SONY
Corporation of America, which signed an initial three year agreement under which Veramark will
manage their call accounting, allocation, invoice management , on-line directory and work order
requirements.

Cost of Sales
For the quarter ended December 31, 2005 our gross margin (defined as sales minus cost of sales) was
$2,348,000 representing 81% of sales. For the fourth quarter of 2004 gross margin totaled
$2,592,000, or 86% of sales. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 gross margins
were $8,971,000 and $9,272,000 representing 83% and 84% of sales respectively. The decrease in
gross margin earned as a percentage of sales for both the three and twelve months ended December
31, 2005 as compared with the same periods of 2004 is primarily attributable to an increase in the
amortization expense associated with software development costs capitalized in prior periods.
Amortization costs of $263,000 for the fourth quarter of 2005 were 59% higher than those incurred
for the fourth quarter of 2004 and amortization costs of $867,000 for the year ended December 31,
2005 were 50 % higher than the previous year.
Engineering and Software Development Expenses
Net engineering and software development expenses of $1,021,000 for the year ended December 31,
2005 decreased 28% from the net engineering and software development expenses of $1,415,000 for the
year ended December 31, 2004. Gross expenses, prior to the effects of software capitalization
decreased as well, from $2,694,000 for the year ended December 31, 2004 to $2,197,000 for the year
ended December 31, 2005, a reduction of 18%. The table below summarizes our engineering and
software development efforts for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 in terms of gross
expenses incurred, costs capitalized, the resulting net engineering and software development
expenses, and costs amortized and charged to cost of sales.

The reductions in expense, both on a gross and net of capitalization basis reflect lower staffing
levels required in 2005 as opposed to 2004. For 2005 average employment in the engineering and
software development group totaled 21 employees versus an average of 27 employees for 2004
resulting in reductions to both salary and benefit expenses.

Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses
For the year ended December 31, 2005 selling, general and administrative expenses of $7,594,000
decreased 5% from expenses of $7,976,000 for the year ended December 31, 2004. Our selling,
general and administrative expenses are separated into four separate functions. Those four
functions and a comparison of 2005 and 2004 expenses levels are as follows.

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 2005 versus 2004. 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.
The company expects that expenditures for selling and marketing costs will increase during 2006 as
we are currently in the process of recruiting additional staff for those particular functions.
The increase in Administrative expense for 2005 over 2004 reflect higher costs for professional
fees and services, legal and accounting costs, and business insurance coverages.
2004 Compared with 2003
OVERVIEW
For the quarter ended December 31, 2004, Veramarks sales of $3,013,000 increased 8% from the
third quarter of 2004, and 6% from sales of $2,844,000 for the same quarter of 2003. Sales for the
fourth quarter of 2004 were the highest quarterly sales achieved since the second quarter of 2002.
Veramark recorded a net income of $416,000, or $0.04 per diluted share, for the quarter ended
December 31, 2004, versus a net income of $466,000, or $0.05 per diluted share for the fourth
quarter of 2003.
For the twelve months ended December 31, 2004, Veramarks sales were $11,036,000, or 4% less
than sales of $11,464,000 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2003. The Company incurred a
net loss of $114,000, or $0.01 per share for the year ended December 31, 2004 as compared to a net
income of $295,000, or $0.03 per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2003.
Despite modest decreases in total sales and net income for 2004 as compared to 2003,
management is pleased with the progress made during 2004 to improve the Companys long-term strategic objectives. The continuing focus on the development of the Companys VeraSMART®
15
product line, the next generation enterprise-level product offering replacing the Quantum
Series®, has gone exceedingly well in managements opinion and has been the catalyst for the
increased sales achieved for the second half of 2004 as opposed to the first six months of the
year. In April 2003, the Company suspended further sales of the Quantum product line in order to
focus its efforts on accelerating further development of VeraSMART, despite the short-term negative
effects that decision would have on sales and cash flows. VeraSMART 1.0 was released late in the
second quarter of 2003, VeraSMART 2.0 in June of 2004, and VeraSMART 3.0 was released the first
week of January, 2005.
Primarily as a result of these development efforts, we incurred, as expected, a net cash and
investment outflow (which totaled approximately $543,000 for the full year ended December 31,
2004). However the Company did generate a net positive cash inflow of approximately $272,000 for
the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2004, primarily as a result of increased sales of VeraSMART.
With the latest version of VeraSMART now available, though we expect to realize positive cash flows
throughout 2005, we will continue to keep a careful watch on current order and sales levels, as
well as operating expenses.
During 2004 the Company capitalized approximately $1,279,000 of software development costs
attributable to the VeraSMART product, encompassing product releases 2.0 and 3.0. During 2003 the
Company capitalized approximately $682,000 of developments costs. Capitalized development costs
are amortized on a product-by-product basis over its estimated life, or the ratio of current
revenues to current and anticipated revenues from such software, whichever provides the greater
amortization.
SALES
Sales of VeraSMART® for the quarter ended December 31, 2004 increased 181% from the same
quarter of 2003 and accounted for 23% of total sales for the quarter. VeraSMART sales for the full
year ended December 31, 2004, increased 264% from the level achieved for 2003, accounting for 12%
of total sales for the year. During the fourth quarter of 2004, the Company installed ten new
VeraSMART systems spanning a wide range of markets to include state and local governmental units,
financial institutions, health care and the defense industry. Included among these installations
were Allina Healthcare, McChord Air Force Base, Ameriquest, the U.S. Department of Labor, the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts and Cendant Mortgage.
Veramark still derives revenue from VeraSMARTs predecessor, the Quantum Series®, primarily in
the form of ongoing maintenance contracts. Revenues from the Quantum Series, as expected,
decreased 29% and 28%, respectively, for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2004 as
compared to 2003. The decrease results from a reduction in the renewal of maintenance contracts by
existing Quantum customers due to the gradual phase-out of Quantum Series.
Overall, the combined sales from enterprise-level product solutions, encompassing both
VeraSMART and the Quantum Series, increased 18% for the quarter ended December 31, 2004 versus the
same quarter of 2003, but decreased 2% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2004, as compared
to the prior year, as a result of the decline in the Quantum Series maintenance revenues referred
to above.
16
For both the quarter and year ended December 31, 2004, our sales of eCAS call accounting and
telemanagement products were negatively impacted by Avaya Inc.s early 2004 purchase of Expanets,
formerly a significant channel of distribution for the Company. Though the Company was able to
generate additional sales to other existing channels of distribution and make inroads with several
new channels, sales of call accounting products and services declined by 1% for the quarter ended
December 31, 2004, and 4% for the year ended December 31, 2004, as compared with the same periods
of 2003.
Veramark also realized increased sales through its Outsourced Management group for 2004, as
opposed to 2003. These increases totaled 42% and 19% for the quarter and year ended December 31,
2004 versus the same periods a year ago. By utilizing Veramarks outsourcing capabilities,
companies were able to realize the benefit of controls on the telemanagement costs without the need
to make significant investments in equipment or staff.
COST OF SALES
The Company earned gross margins (defined as net sales less cost of sales) of 86% and 84% for
the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2004. This compared with gross margins of 87% and
85% for the same three and twelve month periods of 2003. The slightly lower margins for 2004
reflect an increase in amortization costs associated with the development costs previously
capitalized for VeraSMART versions 1.0 and 2.0. The amortization of VeraSMART 3.0 will commence in
the first quarter of 2005, but we do not expect overall gross margins, as a percentage of sales, to
change significantly as a result.
ENGINEERING AND SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT
Net engineering and development expenses for the year ended December 31, 2004 of $1,415,000
decreased significantly from the $1,820,000 of engineering and development expenses incurred for
2003. This decrease is entirely the result of a higher percentage of engineering expenses being
capitalized in 2004, when compared to 2003.
The following chart summarizes the gross expenditures incurred for engineering and development
costs, costs capitalized, the resulting net engineering and development expenses charged against
income, and the amortization costs charged to cost of sales for the years ended December 31, 2004
and 2003.

As was the case in 2004, we will continue to apply the majority of our development efforts in
2005 on expansion of the VeraSMART product line. The next release of VeraSMART is currently
scheduled for availability in mid 2005.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
For the year ended December 31, 2004, selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses were
$7,976,000. This represents an increase of 4% from the SG&A expenses incurred of $7,666,000 for
the year ended December 31, 2003. Total SG&A expenses encompass four functional areas of our
corporate structure. Those four areas are Marketing and Product Management, Direct Sales, Sales
Support and Service, and Corporate Administration. A breakdown of expenses by functional area for
2004 versus 2003 follows:

Though we were able to maintain a stable employment base throughout 2004, with employment at
December 21, 2004 totaling 99 employees versus 102 a year earlier, total SG&A costs did increase
from the prior year. The increase in expense was primarily incurred in the marketing and direct
sales areas to support product launch activities required of the VeraSMART 2.0 and 3.0 product
releases. Additionally, we felt it necessary to reinstate pay cuts, in place over the last two
years, to retain valuable and experienced employees.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Veramarks total cash and investment position, which consists of cash in the bank plus the value of
short term investments, increased 37% from the cash and investment position of $1,103,000 at
December 31, 2004 to $1,512,000 at December 31, 2005. The increase in total cash and investment
position results from the combination of lower gross operating expenses incurred in 2005 as opposed
to 2004, and an increase in deferred revenues realized in 2005. Deferred revenues, which include
the value of maintenance contracts are generally paid for in advance and therefore accelerate cash
flows.
Accounts receivable of $1,522,000 at December 31, 2005 increased 19%, or $246,000 from the balance
of $1,276,000 at December 31, 2004. The increase in accounts receivable reflects merely the timing
of when payments are received from customers rather than any discernable change in the payment
habits of our customers. Write-offs of accounts receivable were immaterial in 2005 and though no
write-offs of significance are expected from the receivables at year end, we have increased our
reserve for bad debts from $24,000 at December 31, 2004 to $32,000 at December 31, 2005 as a result
of the higher total accounts receivable balance consistent with company policy.
18
Prepaid expenses of $161,000 at December 31, 2005 increased from $110,000 at December 31, 2004 as a
result of an increase in the value of prepaid commissions paid our sales force for orders received
through December 31, 2005 which will ultimately ship and be recorded as revenue in 2006, and an
increase of prepaid rent for our facility.
The cost value of property and equipment at December 31, 2005 is $5,796,000 which compares with a
cost value of property and equipment of $5,741,000, at December 31, 2004. For the year ended
December 31, 2005 new capital purchases totaled $147,000, consisting primarily of upgrades to
existing internal networks and equipment utilized in the Companys product development efforts.
Throughout 2005 we disposed of approximately $91,000 of obsolete equipment, all of which had been
fully depreciated.
The value of the Companys software development efforts capitalized and carried on the balance
sheet at December 31, 2005 is $2,827,000. At December 31, 2004 capitalized software was
$2,518,000. We capitalize our software development efforts in accordance with SFAS No.86,
Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed.
Amortization is determined 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. During 2005 we
capitalized $1,175,000 of software development costs, down from $1,278,000 for 2004. Amortization
of prior capitalized costs for 2005 amounted to $867,000, which compared with the amortization of
$578,000 of software development costs in 2004.
Pension assets increased from $2,214,000 at December 31, 2004 to $2,502,000 at December 31, 2005.
The increase is attributable to an increase in the cash surrender values of company owned life
insurance policies designed to fund future pension obligations of the company. The cash surrender
values are available to fund current operations of the Company if necessary, though there are no
such intentions currently exist. The accumulated death benefits associated with these policies are
$10.2 million.
Accounts payable at December 31, 2005 total $276,000, a decrease of $22,000 from $298,000 at
December 31, 2004. There have been no significant changes in payment patterns in 2005 nor any
disputes with our suppliers.
Accrued compensation and related taxes at December 31, 2005 are $565,000, a decrease of 1% from
total accrued compensation of $558,000 at December 31, 2004. Accrued compensation consists
primarily of accrued salaries, vacation time, and accrued commissions due employees at year end
that will be paid in the first quarter of 2006.
Deferred revenues of $2,936,000 at December 31, 2005 increased $364,000, or 14% from the December
31, 2004 balance of $2,572,000. Deferred revenues consist of services such as training,
installation, and maintenance and support services for which the Company has billed customers, but
for which it has not yet performed the actual contracted services. The increase in deferred
revenues for 2005 was generated through growth in the number of eCAS maintenance customers, and new
maintenance contracts and follow-on services stemming from the increased level of VeraSMART sales.
19
Other accrued liabilities at December 31, 2005 of $135,000 were reduced from a balance of $188,000
at December 31, 2004 due to reductions in accruals required for legal and accounting fees and
expenses.
As of December 31, 2005 the Companys total present value of its pension obligation totals
$4,424,000 as compared with a total obligation of $3,875,000 at December 31, 2004. For further
detail regarding the Companys Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan please refer to the section
below titled Off Balance Sheet Arrangements and to Note 7 of the accompanying financial
statements.
Stockholders equity at December 31, 2005 is $1,786,000, an increase of 23% from the total equity of
$1,453,000 at December 31, 2004 primarily reflecting the 2005 net income of $382,000. During 2005
employees of the Company exercised 148,450 stock options and purchased an additional 20,211 shares
of common stock through the Employee Stock Purchase Plan. Proceeds to the Company from those
transactions totaled approximately $79,000.
It is managements opinion that, given our current cash and investment position, the access to cash
surrender values of company-owned life insurance policies, current operating expense levels, and
the absence of debt, that the Company has sufficient liquidity to fund operations and development
schedules 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.
Unfunded means that the Company has not 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

years through October 31, 2010.
Purchase Commitments The Company has no purchase commitment contracts in place as of
December 31, 2005.
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 2005 include:
|
|
|
Revenue recognition |
|
|
|
|
Capitalization of software development costs |
21
|
|
|
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
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
22
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 December 2003, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued Staff
Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 104, Revenue Recognition, which updates the guidance in
SAB No. 101, integrates the related set of Frequently Asked Questions, and recognizes the
role of EITF 00-21. The adoption of SAB No. 104 did not have a material effect on the
Companys financial statements. |
|
|
2) |
|
In November 2002, the Emerging Issues Task Force reached a consensus on Issue No.
00-21, Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables. Issue 00-21 provides guidance on
how to account for arrangements that involve the delivery or performance of multiple
products, services and/or rights to use assets. The provisions of Issue 00-21 applied to
revenue arrangements entered into in periods beginning after June 15, 2003. The adoption
of Issue 00-21 did not have a material effect on the Companys financial position or
results of operations. |
|
|
3) |
|
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS 123(R), Share-Based Payment, which establishes
standards for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or
services. This standard requires an issuer to measure the cost of employee services
received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value
of the award and the recording of such expense in the consolidated financial statements.
This eliminates the exception to account for such awards using the intrinsic value method
previously allowable under Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25. Pro forma
disclosure of fair value recognition will no longer be an alternative. In addition, the
adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) will require additional accounting related to the income tax
effects and disclosure regarding the cash flow effects resulting from share-based payment
arrangements. |
SFAS 123(R) permits public companies to adopt its requirements using one of two methods:
Modified prospective method: Compensation cost is recognized beginning with the
effective date of adoption (a) based on the requirements of SFAS No. 123(R) for all
share-based payments granted after the effective date of adoption and (b) based on
the requirements of SFAS 123 for all awards granted to employees prior to the
effective date of adoption that remain unvested on the date of adoption.
Modified retrospective method: Includes the requirements of the modified prospective
method described above, but also permits restatement using amounts previously
disclosed under the pro forma provisions of SFAS No. 123 either for (a) all periods
presented or (b) prior interim periods of the year of adoption. In March 2005, the
SEC released Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) 107, Share-Based Payment, which
expresses views of the SEC Staff about the application of SFAS No. 123(R). In April
2005, the SEC issued a rule that SFAS No. 123(R) will be effective for annual
reporting periods beginning on or after June 15, 2005.
SFAS 123(R) will be effective for our first quarter of fiscal 2006 and we expect to use the
modified prospective method. We have selected the Black-Scholes option-pricing model as the
most appropriate fair-value method for our awards and will recognize compensation cost on a
straight-line basis over our awards vesting periods. Although the adoption of SFAS No.
24
123(R) will have no adverse impact on our balance sheet or total cash flows, it is expected
to adversely affect our net income and earnings per share for 2006 by approximately $50,000.
The actual effects of adopting SFAS No. 123(R) will depend on numerous factors including the
amounts of share-based payments granted in the future, our stock price volatility, estimated
forfeiture rates and employee stock option exercise behavior. See Note 1 for the effect on
reported net income and earnings per share if we had accounted for our stock option plan
using the fair value method.
|
4) |
|
In December 2004, FASB issued SFAS 153, Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assetsan
amendment to APB Opinion No. 29. This statement amends APB 29 to eliminate the exception
for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general
exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. A
nonmonetary exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are
expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange. Adoption of this statement
is not expected to have a material impact on our results of operations or financial
condition. |
|
|
5) |
|
In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections
a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3 (SFAS 154). SFAS 154
changes the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting
principle. These requirements apply to all voluntary changes and changes required by an
accounting pronouncement in the unusual instance that the pronouncement does not include
specific transition provisions. SFAS 154 is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2005. As such, the Company is required to adopt these provisions at the
beginning of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006. Adoption of SFAS 154 is not expected
to have a significant impact on the Companys 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
25
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 if 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
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.

VERAMARK TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2005, 2004 AND 2003
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
Account Standards (SFAS) No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Certain Debt and
Equity Securities. As of December 31, 2005 and 2004, 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, 2005 and 2004
the carrying value of investments approximated fair market value.
Investments at December 31, 2005 and 2004 consisted of the following:

The contractual maturities of the Companys investments as of December 31, 2005 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
36
\
account and anticipated collections resulting from legal issues. An account is considered past
due after thirty (30) days from the invoice date. Based on these factors, there was an
allowance for doubtful accounts of $32,000 and $24,000 at December 31, 2005 and 2004,
respectively. 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 concentration 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, but are
concentrated in the telecommunications industry. As of December 31, 2005, two customers in
this industry accounted for approximately $521,000 of the total accounts receivable balance.
As of December 31, 2004, another single customer accounted for approximately $189,000 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 from time to time may 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
2005, 2004, or 2003.
37
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
$1,175,000 of development costs in 2005, and $1,279,000 of development costs in 2004. The
Company amortized $867,000 of development costs in 2005, and $557,856 of development costs in
2004. 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 2005 or 2004.
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, 2005 and 2004, 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,
2005 and 2004, 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 there is vendor specific objective evidence of their fair value. We use
the residual method to apply any
38
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 2004, as the effect would have been anti-dilutive, due to net loss incurred
for that year. Included in diluted earnings per share in 2003 are 612,337 shares, representing
the dilutive effect of stock options and warrants issued.
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, and unrealized gains or losses on
available for sale investments.
Research and Development Costs Research and development costs, other than certain software
development costs previously disclosed in Note 1, are expensed as incurred.
Stock-Based Compensation - The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with
SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. As permitted by SFAS No. 123, the
Company continues to measure compensation for such plans using the intrinsic value based method
of accounting, prescribed by Accounting Principles Board (APB), Opinion No. 25, Accounting for
Stock Issued to Employees. Had compensation cost for the Companys stock-based compensation
plans been determined based on the fair value at the grant dates for awards consistent with the
method of SFAS No. 123, the Companys net income (loss) and net income (loss) per common share
would have been adjusted to the pro forma amounts indicated below:

Accounting Pronouncements
|
1) |
|
In December 2003, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued Staff
Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 104, Revenue Recognition, which updates the guidance in
SAB No. 101, integrates the related set of Frequently Asked Questions, and recognizes the
role of EITF 00-21. The adoption of SAB No. 104 did not have a material effect on the
Companys financial statements. |
|
|
2) |
|
In November 2002, the Emerging Issues Task Force reached a consensus on Issue No.
00-21, Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables. Issue 00-21 provides guidance on
how to account for arrangements that involve the delivery or performance of multiple
products, services and/or rights to use assets. The provisions of Issue 00-21 applied to
revenue arrangements entered into in periods beginning after June 15, 2003. The adoption
of Issue 00-21 did not have a material effect on the Companys financial position or
results of operations. |
|
|
3) |
|
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS 123(R), Share-Based Payment, which establishes
standards for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or
services. This standard requires an issuer to measure the cost of employee services
received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value
of the award and the recording of such expense in the consolidated financial statements.
This eliminates the exception to account for such awards using the intrinsic value method
previously allowable under Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25. Pro forma
disclosure of fair value recognition will no longer be an alternative. In addition, the
adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) will require additional accounting related to the income tax
effects and disclosure regarding the cash flow effects resulting from share-based payment
arrangements. |
|
|
|
|
SFAS 123(R) permits public companies to adopt its requirements using one of two methods: |
Modified prospective method: Compensation cost is recognized beginning with the effective
date of adoption (a) based on the requirements of SFAS No. 123(R) for all share-based
payments granted after the effective date of adoption and (b) based on the requirements
of SFAS 123 for all awards granted to employees prior to the effective date of adoption
that remain unvested on the date of adoption.
Modified retrospective method: Includes the requirements of the modified prospective
method described above, but also permits restatement using amounts previously disclosed
under the pro forma provisions of SFAS No. 123 either for (a) all periods presented or
(b) prior interim periods of the year of adoption.
In March 2005, the SEC released Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) 107, Share-Based Payment,
which expresses views of the SEC Staff about the application of SFAS No. 123(R). In April
2005, the SEC issued a rule that SFAS No. 123(R) will be effective for annual reporting
periods beginning on or after June 15, 2005.
SFAS 123(R) will be effective for our first quarter of fiscal 2006 and we expect to use the
modified prospective method. We have selected the Black-Scholes option-pricing model as the
most appropriate fair-value method for our awards and will recognize compensation cost on a
straight-line basis over our awards vesting periods. Although the adoption of SFAS No.
123(R) will have no adverse impact on our balance sheet or total cash flows, it is expected
to adversely affect our net income and earnings per share for 2006 by approximately $50,000.
The actual effects of adopting SFAS No. 123(R) will depend on numerous factors including the
amounts of share-based payments granted in the future, our stock
41
price volatility, estimated forfeiture rates and employee stock option exercise behavior. See
Note 1 for the effect on reported net income and earnings per share if we had accounted for
our stock option plan using the fair value method.
|
4) |
|
In December 2004, FASB issued SFAS 153, Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assetsan amendment
to APB Opinion No. 29. This statement amends APB 29 to eliminate the exception for
nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception
for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. A nonmonetary
exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to
change significantly as a result of the exchange. Adoption of this statement is not
expected to have a material impact on our results of operations or financial condition. |
|
|
5) |
|
In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections
a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3 (SFAS 154). SFAS 154
changes the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting
principle. These requirements apply to all voluntary changes and changes required by an
accounting pronouncement in the unusual instance that the pronouncement does not include
specific transition provisions. SFAS 154 is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2005. As such, the Company is required to adopt these provisions at the
beginning of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006. The Adoption of SFAS 154 is not
expected to have a significant impact on the Companys 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. The ESPP is intended to meet the requirements of section 423 of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended, and, based upon the guidance in APB 25 and related interpretations, is
considered a non-compensatory plan. Accordingly, the Company records no compensation expense for
the ESPP. 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 20,211 shares at an average purchase price of $0.66 in 2005, 24,938
shares at an average purchase price of $0.83 in 2004 and 36,245 shares at an average purchase
price of $0.44 in 2003.

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 and warrants, issued by the Company, are
reflected in diluted EPS using the treasury stock method. Under the treasury stock method,
options and warrants 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 2004, as the effect would
have been anti-dilutive due to the net loss. |
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, 2005, 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.
7. BENEFIT PLANS
The Company sponsors an employee incentive savings plan under section 401(k) for all eligible
employees. The Companys contributions to the plan are discretionary. There have been no
contributions to the plan since 1999.
The Company also sponsors an unfunded Supplemental Executive Retirement Program (SERP), which
is a nonqualified plan that provides certain key employees defined pension benefits. For the
years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, changes to the benefit obligation consisted of the

PART III
Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
Based upon an evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Companys
Chief Executive Officer and Treasurer (Chief Accounting 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.
