Veramark Call Accounting Software
Veramark has 25 years of experience in the development and deployment of call accounting software
and in providing call accounting solutions. Veramark has been the only cross-industry OEM vendor to
Avaya for call accounting since 2001. Avaya, its distributors, and its resellers sell a private
label version of Veramark call accounting software.
5
Veramark call accounting software is Web-browser based. It enables organizations of all sizes to
gain visibility into and helps them control their voice, data, and wireless communications
networks. Our software connects to business telephone systems (PBXs, IP-PBXs, hybrid systems, key
systems, etc.) to collect, store, and rate information on every telephone call made or received. It
automatically generates alerts, dashboards, and reports that provide management with valuable
information about productivity, network utilization, and expenses. Veramark believes call
accounting to offer significant business benefits in its own right and to be a key component of
telecom expense management.
VeraSMART Call Accounting, Veramarks newest call accounting product, replaces eCAS (Veramarks
previous call accounting software). Because it is part of the VeraSMART Communications Management
Suite, VeraSMART Call Accounting includes all the call accounting functionality of eCAS, offers
greater flexibility and scalability, and allows customers to add additional VeraSMART components
and TEM capabilities as their business needs grow and evolve. VeraSMART Call Accounting is
available as a complimentary upgrade to eCAS users as part of their annual maintenance renewal.

6
Marketing and Sales
Veramark has a dual marketing and distribution strategy for its enterprise and midsize business
markets. Veramark defines the enterprise market as the top 1,000 organizations in North America,
based on revenue. Because of the size and complexity of enterprise organizations, Veramark sells
directly to the end user, in partnership with sophisticated systems integration partners or on a
referral basis with traditional resellers.
Sales to midsize business organizations are driven through the traditional reseller channel
involved with the distribution of information technology including communications equipment and
software. Veramark has an established distribution network including Avaya and Cisco resellers.
Veramark marketing programs include quarterly newsletters, periodic Web seminars, press releases,
participation in select industry trade shows, and other marketing campaigns and activities. The

Veramark retains a public relations firm to help identify public relations opportunities, assist
with media placement, and interface with industry analysts. Veramark seeks speaking engagements and
publishes white papers and by-lined articles.
New Product Development
Veramark believes VeraSMART to be one of the best software platforms for TEM and that it has
become a competitive advantage and market differentiator. Veramark intends to continue to make
significant investment in software products and software innovation, thereby creating value for
Veramark in its intellectual property.
In 2008, Veramark made changes to its the software product development process in an attempt to
accelerate development cycles for faster time-to-market cycles. Veramark believes software
development effectiveness to be a source of competitive advantage. Veramark intends to continue to
develop Information Technology Expense Management (iTEM products, which it believes to be the next
generation of TEM.
Competition
The TEM market is highly fragmented. According to Gartner, there are approximately 150 companies
competing for TEM market share, with no one dominant player in command. A majority of the TEM
companies are privately held and have revenues of less than $5MM.
The market offers opportunities in voice, data, and mobile communications. Services for mobile
device expense management is the fastest growing segment of TEM. Many of the TEM companies
specialize in one segment such as mobile device management, invoice management, or call accounting.
Fewer than ten companies appear to be capable of effectively offering a comprehensive set of TEM
capabilities (such as those offered by Veramark), including proprietary software and business
process outsourcing services.
Backlog
At December 31, 2008, Veramark had a backlog of $6,401,000, the majority of which is expected to be
recognized as revenue during 2009. Backlog as of December 31, 2007 was $6,481,000. The Companys
policy is to accept orders only upon receipt of purchase orders.
7
Employees
As of February 27, 2009 Veramark employed 74 full-time personnel. Veramarks employees are not
represented by any labor unions.
Item 1A Risk Factors
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 this report: economic, competitive, governmental and technological factors,
increased operating costs, failure to obtain necessary financing, risks related to natural
disasters and financial market fluctuations. Such factors also include:
Intellectual Property Rights
Veramark regards its products as proprietary and attempts to protect them with a combination of
copyright, trademark and trade secret protections, employee and third-party non-disclosure
agreements and other methods of protection. Despite those precautions, it may be possible for
unauthorized third parties to copy certain portions of Veramarks products, reverse engineer or
obtain and use information that Veramark regards as proprietary. The laws of some foreign
countries do not protect Veramarks proprietary rights to the same extent as the laws of the United
States. Any misappropriation of Veramarks intellectual property could have a material adverse
effect on its business and results of operations. Furthermore, although Veramark take steps to
prevent unlawful infringement of others intellectual property, there can be no assurance that
third parties will not assert infringement claims against Veramark in the future with respect to
current or future products. Any such assertion could require Veramark to enter into royalty
arrangements or result in costly litigation.
Existing Customer Base
We derive an increasingly significant portion of our revenues from multi- year managed service
contracts. As a result, if we lose a major customer, or if a managed service contract is delayed,
reduced, or cancelled, our revenues could be adversely affected. In addition, customers who have
accounted for significant revenues in the past may not generate the same amount of revenues in
future periods.
Product Development
Veramark has made significant investments in research, development and marketing for new products,
services and technologies, including the VeraSMART software offering and its hosted or managed
solutions. Significant revenue from new product and service investments may not be achieved for a
number of years, if at all. Moreover, if such products or services are profitable, operating
margins may not be as high as the margins historically experienced by Veramark. The development of
software products is a complex and time-consuming process. New products and enhancements to
existing products can require long development and testing periods. Significant delays in new
product releases or significant problems in creating new products, particularly any delays in
future releases of the VeraSMART suite of products or services, could adversely affect Veramark
revenues.
8
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, 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.
New Products and Services
Veramark is in the process of transforming its 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 our cost structure including personnel and facility costs
are relatively fixed based on anticipated revenues, period to period comparisons of our operating
results should not be relied upon as an indicator of future performance.
Competition
Veramark experiences intense competition across all markets for its products and services. Some
competing firms have greater name recognition and more financial, marketing and technological
resources than Veramark. These competitive pressures may result in decreased sales volumes, price
reductions, and/or increased operating costs, such as for marketing and sales incentives, resulting
in lower revenues, gross margins and operating income.
Marketing and Sales
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.
Security and Privacy Breaches in our Systems May Damage Client Relations and Inhibit our Growth
The uninterrupted operation of our hosted solutions and the confidentiality of third party
information that resides on our systems is critical to our business. We have what we believe to be
sufficient security in place to prevent major interruptions in service and to prevent unauthorized
access. Any failure in our security and privacy measures could have a material adverse impact on
our financial position and results of operations.

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,
2010.
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.

None.

$10,674,000 decreased 10% from sales of $11,919,000 for the year ended December 31, 2007.
Veramark achieved a net income of $59,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2008, representing
$0.01 per diluted share, a significant improvement from the net loss of $443,000, or $0.05 per
share, incurred for the fourth quarter of 2007. For the full year ended December 31, 2008 the net
loss totaled $431,000, or $0.04 per share, an improvement from the net loss of $706,000 or $0.08
per share for the year ended December 31, 2007.
2008 was a year of transformation for the Company. Anthony Mazzullo joined Veramark as President
and Chief Executive Officer effective January 1, 2008, and embarked on a series of initiatives to
transform the company into a multi-faceted Telecom Expense Management (TEM) organization. Those
initiatives included:
|
|
|
Restructuring of the executive management team, customer services organization, and the
direct sales group, resulting in increased operating efficiencies and reducing operating
expenses by 13% from the prior year. |
|
|
|
Devoting additional resources to product development and marketing programs, thereby
expanding Veramarks presence and positioning in the TEM marketplace. |
|
|
|
Accelerating major new product releases which significantly enhance our VeraSMART
Communications Management Suite with new capabilities for international applications,
wireless device management and procurement, and flexibility of use. |
|
|
|
Establishing new sales and marketing partnerships with AT&T and Ingram Micro. |
|
|
|
Opening a west coast sales office, expanding our efforts nationally, and increasing
accessibility to the Companys west coast clients. |

Revenues
Sales for the year ended December 31, 2008, of $10,674,000 decreased $1,245,000 from sales of
$11,919,000 for the year ended December 31, 2007. The reduction in sales is attributable to a
non-recurring component of the Companys managed service contract with Sears Holding Corporation
(SHC) recognized as revenue in 2007, and the suspension of maintenance revenues derived from the
Quantum Series of products, VeraSMARTs predecessor product offering in the enterprise market.
Maintenance for Quantum was discontinued effective December 31, 2007. The decline in revenues
associated with these two events totaled approximately $1.4 million.
Sales of premise based VeraSMART products and associated services increased 76% for the three
months ended December 31, 2008 and 29% for the year ended December 31, 2008, as compared with the
same periods of 2007. VeraSMART products and services accounted for 35% of total revenues in 2008,
up from 24% of total revenues in 2007.
Sales of eCAS products and services decreased 7% for the quarter ended December 31, 2008 and 10%
for the year ended December 31, 2008, as compared with prior year results. The decline in eCAS
sales reflects the continued reduction in license sales for stand alone call accounting solutions
from Avaya, Inc, and its master distribution partners. Avaya and its partners have historically
represented Veramarks largest single channel for eCAS products and services.
Revenues generated from managed service contracts decreased 33% in 2008 versus 2007, as a result of
the non-recurring revenue associated with the SHC contract referred to above. Managed service
revenues generated from clients other than SHC increased 19% in 2008, as compared with the previous
year. We anticipate strong growth in managed service revenues in 2009 and beyond, as we continue
the process of broadening our TEM capabilities. Managed service clients added in 2008 include Nike,
Staples, Sheetz, DHL, and AAA Arizona.
Cost of Sales
Veramarks gross margin on sales (defined as sales less cost of sales) totaled $7,787,000, for the
year ended December 31, 2008, representing 73% of sales. Gross margin for the year ended December
31, 2007 totaled $8,804,000, or 74% of sales. Included in 2008 cost of sales is $1,154,000 of
amortization costs associated with software developments costs capitalized in prior years.
Amortization expense in 2007 totaled $933,000.
13
Engineering and Development Expenses
Engineering and software development expenses, net of the effects of software capitalization,
increased 15% from $1,227,000 for the year ended December 31, 2007 to $1,410,000 for the year ended
December 31, 2008. During 2008, the Companys development efforts as discussed in the overview
section of this report, focused on the transformation of the VeraSMART platform into a complete
telecom expense management tool, whether deployed as a premise based or hosted solution. The
following chart summarizes the financial impact of our software development efforts, detailing
gross expense incurred for engineering and software development, costs capitalized and amortized,
and the resulting net impact on our financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2008 and
2007.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) expenses for the year ended December 31, 2008 totaled
$6,876,000, a reduction of 18% from SG&A expenses of $8,352,000 for the year ended December 31,
2007. The reduction in expense results from the reorganization of our direct sales force and a 33%
reduction in administrative expenses from a year ago. The reduction in administrative and sales
expenses allowed the Company to increase its investment in marketing and product development
efforts.
2007 Compared with 2006
Overview
For the year ended December 31, 2007 sales of $11,919,000 increased 15% from sales of $10,361,000
for the year ended December 31, 2006. The net loss of $706,000, or $0.08 per share, for the year
ended December 31, 2007 compared with a net loss of $488,000, or $0.06 per share, for the year
ended December 31, 2006.
As of December 31, 2007 the companys backlog was approximately $6.5 million, the majority of which
is expected to be recognized as revenue in 2008. At December 31, 2006 backlog totaled approximately
$7.3 million. The change in backlog reflects a $792,000 one-time component of our managed service
contract with Sears Holding Corporation (SHC) included in backlog at December 31, 2006 that was
completed and recognized as revenue in the first quarter of 2007.
14
During 2007 new product releases strengthening the capabilities of both the VeraSMART and eCAS
product lines were completed. VeraSMART 6.0, released in May 2007, significantly upgraded our
telecom expense management (TEM) capabilities with the addition of enhanced invoice processing,
payment tracking, contract management, wireless plan management, and upgraded report functionality.
This latest release of VeraSMART was designed to integrate with accounts payable
and general ledger systems, generate automatic invoice alerts, allow for the measurement of
invoiced charges against contractual charges and allows the ability to compare actual usage against
wireless calling plans. In late October we announced the release of eCAS 5.0 adding an advanced
user interface, real time charting of call activity and user definable dashboards to the basic eCAS
product, while also improving and simplifying the installation process.
In December 2007 the company announced that Anthony C. Mazzullo was joining Veramark as President
and Chief Executive Officer, effective January 1, 2008 replacing David Mazzella who had previously
announced his retirement effective December 31, 2007. Mr. Mazzullo brings to Veramark over 25 years
of experience leading software and professional service companies, most recently as Senior
Vice-President of ePLUS Systems, Inc.
Revenues
Sales of VeraSMART products and services increased 40% for the year ended December 31, 2007 as
compared with the year ended December 31, 2006, accounting for 24% of total sales in 2007 versus
20% of sales in 2006. Joining the growing list of VeraSMART customers during 2007 were
organizations that included Google, eBay, First National Bank of Omaha, The Bank of Montreal,
Northrop Grumman, Connecticut Department of Revenue, The City of Kansas City, and The University of
Phoenix.
Revenues generated from managed service contracts increased 408% for the year ended December 31,
2007 from prior year results and accounted for 21% of total sales in 2007, up from 5% of total
sales in 2006. A significant portion of that increase was attributable to the SHC contract signed
in December 2006, but also includes initial revenues generated from two new clients signed to
multi-year contacts in 2007. Those clients are SC Johnson, a global supplier of household cleaning
products and Green Tree Servicing LLC, a leading financial institution.
Sales of eCAS products and services decreased 11% for the year ended December 31, 2007 from the
prior year, which included a decline of 20% in sales through our largest distribution channel for
eCAS, Avaya Inc and its master distributors. Sales of eCAS products and services accounted for 50%
of total sales revenues in 2007, down from 64% in 2006.
Cost of Sales
Gross margin (defined as sales less cost of sales) of $8,804,000 for the year ended December 31,
2007 increased 8% from the gross margin of $8,181,000 for the year ended December 31, 2006 as a
result of the increased sales volume in 2007 versus 2006. Gross margin as a percentage of sales did
decline from 79% in 2006 to 74% in 2007 due to utilizing a third party contractor to perform
various components of the SHC managed service contract.
15
Engineering and Software Development Expenses
Engineering and software development expenses, net of the effects of software capitalization, and
included in the Companys statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2007 of
$1,227,000 increased $336,000 from net engineering and software development expenses of $891,000
for 2006. The increase in net expense results from a reduction in software development costs
capitalized from $1,285,000 in 2006 to $796,000 for 2007. The reduction in development costs
capitalized for 2007 reflects a higher percentage of development efforts being applied to upgrades
and enhancements made to previously released products, the costs of which do not qualify for
capitalization. The chart below summarizes our gross engineering and software development
expenses, development costs capitalized, net expense charged to operations, and amortization
expenses recorded and charged to cost of sales for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses for the year ended December 31, 2007 of
$8,352,000 increased $538,000, or 7%, from SG&A expenses of $7,814,000 for the year ended December
31, 2006. SG&A expenses for 2007 were impacted by contractual obligations associated with the
retirement of the companys former Chief Executive Officer in the form of bonus accruals and the
issuance of immediately exercisable stock options to replace unexercised options expiring during
2007. In addition to those expenses the Company also took steps in 2007 to strengthen its
marketing, product management and sales management capabilities, resulting in higher salary,
promotional, and travel expenses, particularly in the third and fourth quarters of the year.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
During the fourth quarter of 2008, we generated a positive cash flow of $446,000 to end 2008 with a
total cash and short term investment balance of $1,997,000. At December 31, 2007, cash and short
term investments totaled $2,206,000. In addition to these cash resources, the Company entered into
a revolving line of credit arrangement with a local commercial bank that will provide an additional
$400,000 of capital, if required, to finance anticipated upgrades to infrastructure planned for
2009.
Accounts receivable at December 31, 2008 totaled $1,048,000, which compares with an accounts
receivable balance of $1,303,000 at December 31, 2007. The reserve for bad debts at December 31,
2008 is $30,000, unchanged from the reserve provided at December 31, 2007. The Company incurred no
significant write-offs of receivables during 2008.
Prepaid expenses of $245,000 at December 31, 2008 decreased 4% from prepaid expenses of $254,000 at
December 31, 2007. Prepaid expenses include the unutilized portions of business insurance
policies, prepaid commissions, and various other subscription based services.
16
Property and equipment, net of accumulated depreciation, totaled $456,000 at December 31, 2008, a
reduction of 13% from net property and equipment of $521,000 at December 31, 2007. Capital
equipment purchases during 2008 of $246,000, increased from $111,000 of capital purchases in 2007.
Approximately $2,338,000 of obsolete assets were retired during 2008 resulting in a $20,000 loss on
the disposal of those assets, after the effects of accumulated depreciation, and charged against
operations.
Software development costs capitalized and carried on the Companys Balance Sheet at December 31,
2008 of $2,720,000 decreased 10% from the December 31, 2007 balance of $3,038,000. For the year
ended December 31, 2008 software development costs totaling $835,000 were capitalized, an increase
of 5% from development costs of $796,000 capitalized in 2007. Amortization costs during 2008
totaled $1,154,000, an increase of 24% from the amortization expense of $933,000 for 2007.
Amortization expenses are charged to cost of sales on product by product basis over periods ranging
from 3-5 years.
Pension assets, which consist of the cash surrender values of company-owned life insurance
policies, were $3,161,000 at December 31, 2008, or 2% less than the December 31, 2007 total of
$3,210,000. The death benefit and cash surrender values associated with these insurance policies
are intended to provide funding for the current and future benefit obligations of the Company, but
are also available to fund current operations in the event that is deemed necessary.
Current liabilities of $5,064,000 at December 31, 2008 decreased 5% from the December 31, 2007
balance of $5,331,000 due to a $468,000 reduction in accrued compensation costs. A significant
portion of the decrease in compensation costs stems from contractual obligations to the Companys
former Chief Executive Officer accrued upon his retirement at the end of 2007. Additionally,
liabilities for accrued salaries and benefits have declined from the prior year due to lower
average employment levels.
Deferred revenues, which form a considerable portion of our current backlog, increased 11% from
$3,369,000 at December 31, 2007 to $3,747,000 at December 31, 2008. The largest components of
deferred revenues consist of the unearned portions of maintenance contracts and services billed to
customers, but not yet performed, including installation, training, and implementation activities.
The majority of these services will be recognized as revenue during 2009 as the maintenance
obligations are performed and the additional services provided.
The Companys total pension liability, inclusive of the current portion of $486,000, totals
$5,486,000 at December 31, 2008, down from $5,513,000 at December 31, 2007. The full cost of the
Companys current and future obligations are expected to be funded by the death benefits attached
to the series of Company-owned life insurance policies referred to earlier.
Stockholders equity at December 31, 2008, after the effect of the 2008 operating loss, is $502,000
which compares with total stockholders equity of $992,000 at December 31, 2007. At December 31,
2008 there are approximately 9,773,000 common shares outstanding. 2008 activity included the
exercise of 119,000 stock options, the purchase of approximately 95,000 shares via the Employees
Stock Purchase Plan, and the issuance of 470,000 shares of restricted stock.
17
In managements opinion, in consideration of current cash and investment balances, the ability to
access available cash surrender values, and the line of credit arrangement in place, sufficient
resources exist to fully fund operations and execute key strategic initiatives 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 employees with a defined pension benefit. 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 is not required to set aside any particular assets to satisfy its
SERP liabilities. Accordingly any assets the Company may have available to satisfy SERP
liabilities are subject to claims by the Companys creditors.
Recovery of 100% of projected SERP costs is designed through a program of Company-owned life
insurance (COLI). Recovery for the imputed time value of the money, plus all costs associated with
the COLI premium payments, and benefit obligations, are included in this program. The Company
currently owns 14 separate life insurance contracts on selected current and former employees, not
all of who will ultimately qualify for participation in the plan. The cumulative death benefit
attached to these policies is $10.2 million and is not included in the Companys Consolidated
Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2008.
The cash surrender values of these policies at December 31, 2008 totaled approximately $3,161,000
and are included in the Companys consolidated balance sheets under the caption of Pension
Assets.
The projected future pension benefits expected to be paid under this plan are as follows, assuming
retirement at 65 and a life expectancy of 80 years for all participants:

The net present value of these projected pension obligations at December 31, 2008, totals
$5,486,069, and is included in the current and long-term liability sections of the Companys
consolidated balance sheets.
18
Lease Obligations The Company leases current office facilities and certain equipment under
operating leases, which expire at various dates through 2010. Rent expense under all operating
leases (exclusive of real estate taxes and other expenses payable under the leases) was
approximately $350,000, $346,000, and $373,000 for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and
2006, respectively.
Minimum lease payments as of December 31, 2008 under operating leases are as follows:

2008.
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 2008 include:
|
|
|
Revenue recognition |
|
|
|
|
Capitalization of software development costs |
|
|
|
|
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts |
|
|
|
|
Pension liability |
In each situation, management is required to make estimates about the effects of matters or future
events that are inherently uncertain.
The Companys revenue consists of revenues from the licensing of software to resellers and end user
customers; fees for services rendered to include installation, training, implementation, and
customer maintenance contracts; and the outsourcing or hosting of services.
The Company recognizes software license revenue under Statement of Position No 97-2 Software
Revenue Recognition as amended by Statement of Position No. 98-9, Software Revenue Recognition
With Respect to Certain Transactions, Emerging Issues Task Force 00-21, Revenue Arrangements with
Multiple Deliverables, and related interpretations.
Sales of licensed software sold directly to an end user customer are recognized as revenue upon
delivery and installation of the software at the customer site. Sales of licensed software to a
reseller are recognized as revenue when delivery is made to the reseller. Regardless of the form
of sale no revenue is recognized without persuasive evidence of an arrangement existing. Persuasive
evidence
is determined to be a signed purchase order received from the customer or an equivalent form for
those customers lacking a formalized purchase order system. In the case of VeraSMART sales, a
software license agreement signed by both parties is often required in addition to a purchase order
or equivalent. Additionally, revenue is only recognized when a selling price is fixed or
determinable and collectibility of the receivable is deemed to be probable.
19
Service revenues such as training, installation and implementation are recognized when the service
is complete and acknowledged by the customer, regardless of whether the sale is on a direct basis
or through a reseller arrangement.
Fees charged to customers for Post-contract Customer Support (PCS) 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 whether 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 (PCS) involved in the
sale of a software license, or when the sale of a software license is made in conjunction with
installation services. In the latter case, the recognition of the software license is deferred
until installation is completed.
The Companys revenues generated through hosting solutions are recognized using the proportional
performance method. Revenues are recognized in the month services are rendered and earned under
service agreements with clients where service fees are fixed or determinable. Contracts can be
terminated with 90 days written notice. All services provided by us through the date of
cancellation are due and payable under the contract terms.
The Company believes its revenue recognition policies are appropriate, in all circumstances, and
that its policies are reflective of complexities arising from customer arrangements involving such
features as maintenance, warranty agreements, license agreements, and other normal course of
business arrangements.
As set forth in Note 1, the Company capitalizes software development costs when technological
feasibility has been established for the software in accordance with SFAS No. 86, Accounting for
the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed. Such capitalized costs
are amortized on a product-by-product basis over their economic life or the ratio of current
revenues to current and anticipated revenues from such software, whichever provides the greater
amortization. The Company periodically reviews the carrying value of capitalized software
development costs and impairments are recognized in the results of operations when the expected
future undiscounted operating cash flow derived from the capitalized software is less than its
carrying value. Should the Company inaccurately determine when a product reaches technological
feasibility or the economic life of a product, results could differ materially from those reported.
Veramark uses what it believes are reasonable assumptions and where applicable, established
valuation techniques in making its estimates.
20
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 employees a defined
pension benefit. In order to properly record the net present value of future pension obligations a
number of assumptions are required to be made by Companys management. These assumptions include
years of service, life expectancies, and projected future salary increases for each participant.
In addition, management must make assumptions with regard to the proper long-term interest and
liability discount rates to be applied to these future obligations.
Should the Company need to alter any of these assumptions, there is the potential for significant
adjustments to future projected pension liabilities.

Accounting Pronouncements
|
1) |
|
In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial
Assets and Financial Liabilities, including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115. SFAS
159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other
items at fair value at specified election dates. This Statement applies to all entities,

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of Veramark Technologies, Inc.
Pittsford, New York
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Veramark Technologies, Inc. (the Company)
as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the related statements of operations, stockholders equity
and comprehensive income, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended
December 31, 2008. The Companys management is responsible for these financial statements. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. The company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its
internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control
over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the
companys internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An
audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made
by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that
our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the results
of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December
31, 2008 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America.

VERAMARK TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2008, 2007 AND 2006
1. |
|
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Description of business Veramark Technologies, Inc., (the Company) designs and produces
communications management and operation support software for users and providers of
telecommunication services in the global market. The Company operates in one segment.
Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported
amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from
those estimates.
Cash and cash equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with
a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The fair value of the Companys
cash and cash equivalents approximates carrying value, which, due to the relatively short
maturities and variable interest rates of the instruments, approximates current market rates.
Investments The Company records its investments in accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Certain Debt and
Equity Securities. As of December 31, 2008 and 2007, 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, 2008 and 2007
the carrying value of investments approximated fair market value, and are classified as Level 1
Assets as defined by SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements.
Investments at December 31, 2008 and 2007 consisted of the following:

|
|
The contractual maturities of the Companys investments as of December 31, 2008 are primarily
due within one year.
Accounts receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts The Company extends credit to its
customers in the normal course of business and collateral is generally not required for trade
receivables. Exposure to credit risk is controlled through the use of credit approvals, credit
limits and monitoring procedures. Accounts receivable are reported net of an allowance for
doubtful accounts. The Company estimates the allowance based on its analysis of specific
balances, taking into consideration the age of the past due
account and anticipated collections resulting from legal issues. An account is considered past
due after thirty (30) days from the invoice date. Based on these factors, there was an
allowance for doubtful accounts of $30,000 at both December 31, 2008 and 2007. Changes to the
allowance for doubtful accounts are charged to expense and reduced by charge-offs, net of
recoveries.
31
Concentrations of credit risk Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to
concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of investments and accounts receivable. The
Company places its cash and investments with quality financial institutions and, by policy,
limits the amount of investment exposure to any one financial institution. The Company has not
experienced any significant losses to date on its invested cash and investments.
The Companys customers are not concentrated in any specific geographic region, nor in any
specific industry. As of December 31, 2008, three customers accounted for approximately
$336,000 of the total accounts receivable balance. As of December 31, 2007, five customers
accounted for approximately $590,000 of the total accounts receivable balance. The Company
performs periodic credit evaluations of its customers financial conditions but does not
require collateral to support customer receivables. The Company establishes an allowance for
doubtful accounts based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers,
historical trends and other information. Such losses to date have been within managements
expectations.
The Company maintains cash deposits with major banks, which may from time to time exceed
federally insured limits. The Company periodically assesses the financial condition of the
institutions and believes that the risk of any loss is minimal.
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market. The Company
evaluates the net realizable value of inventory on hand considering deterioration,
obsolescence, replacement costs and other pertinent factors, and records adjustments as
necessary.
Prepaid Expenses consist of cash outlays made by the Company for economic benefits to be
realized in future periods. These benefits typically include the unutilized portions of
current business insurances, maintenance contracts on Company-owned equipment, and prepaid
commissions. 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 2008, 2007,
or 2006.
32
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
$834,973 of development costs in 2008, $796,194 of development costs in 2007 and $1,285,233 of
development costs in 2006. The Company amortized $1,153,596 of development costs in 2008,
$933,169 of development costs in 2007 and $936,492 of development costs in 2006. 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 2008, 2007 or 2006.
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, 2008 and 2007, 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,
2008 and 2007, the Company has no long-term debt.
On January 1, 2008, the Company adopted FASB Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS
No. 157) which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and
requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements. The criterion that is set forth
in SFAS No. 157 is applicable to fair value measurement where it is permitted or required under
other accounting pronouncements.
SFAS No. 157 defines fair value as the exit price, which is the price that would be received to
sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market
participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on inputs of
observable and unobservable market data that a market participant would use in pricing the
asset or liability. The use of observable inputs is maximized where available and the use of
unobservable inputs is minimized for fair value measurement. As a means to illustrate the
inputs used, SFAS No. 157 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy that prioritizes inputs
to valuation techniques used for fair value measurement.
|
|
|
Level 1 consists of observable market data in an active market for identical assets
or liabilities. |
|
|
|
Level 2 consists of observable market data, other than that included in Level 1,
that is either directly or indirectly observable. |
|
|
|
Level 3 consists of unobservable market data. The input may reflect the assumptions
of the Company of what a market participant would use in pricing an asset or liability.
If there is little available market data, then the Companys own assumptions are the
best available information. |
In the case of multiple inputs being used in a fair value measurement, the lowest level
input that is significant to the fair value measurement represents the level in the fair value

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 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
issued. There were no
dilutive effects of stock options in 2008, 2007 or 2006 as the effect would have been
anti-dilutive, due to the net loss incurred for those years.
34
Comprehensive Income Comprehensive income includes all changes in stockholders equity during
the period except those resulting from investments by owners and distribution to owners. The
Companys comprehensive income includes net loss or earnings, unrealized gains or losses on
available for sale investments, and unrecognized prior service costs and any gain or loss
associated with the Companys Supplement Executive Retirement Program.
Research and Development Costs Research and development costs, other than certain software
development costs previously disclosed in Note 1, are expensed as incurred. For the years
ended December 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006, research and development costs expensed were
$1,410,086, $1,226,898, and $890,616, respectively.
Stock-Based Compensation The Companys primary type of share-based compensation consists of
stock options and restricted stock. For the year ended December 31, 2008 the company issued
145,500 stock options, and 470,000 restricted shares.
The Company records its stock-based compensation expense in accordance with SFAS 123R, Share
Based Payment. In estimating the value of stock options issued, the Company uses the
Black-Scholes option pricing model. The following table provides the range of assumptions
used by the Company, at the time stock options were issued.

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

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, 2008, 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.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Based upon an evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Companys Chief
Executive Officer and Vice President of Finance (Chief Financial Officer) concluded that the
Companys disclosure controls and procedures are effective to provide reasonable assurance that
information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the
time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to the
Companys management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or
persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding
required disclosure. There have been no changes in the Companys internal controls over financial
reporting, that occurred during the period covered by this report, that have materially affected,
or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Companys internal controls over financial
reporting.
The Companys disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting
provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that all deficiencies in design or operation of
those control systems, or all instances of errors or fraud, will be prevented or detected. Those
control systems are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving the goals of those
systems in light of the Companys resources and nature of the Companys business operations. The
Companys disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting remain
subject to risks of human error and the risk that controls can be circumvented for wrongful
purposes by one or more individuals in management or non-management positions.
Managements Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
The management of Veramark Technologies, Inc. is responsible for establishing and maintaining
adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Internal control over financial reporting is a
process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting
and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles. These internal controls include policies and procedures that:
|
|
|
Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly
reflect the transactions and dispositions of assets; |
|
|
|
Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit
preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles; |
|
|
|
Provide reasonable assurance that receipts and expenditures are being made only in
accordance with the authorization of our management and directors; and |
|
|
|
Provide reasonable assurance that unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of
company assets that would have a material impact on financial statements will be prevented
or detected on a timely basis. |
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting is not intended to
provide absolute assurance that a misstatement of our financial statements would be prevented or
detected.
Management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of internal control over financial
reporting based on the framework in Internal Control Integrated Framework issued by the Committee
of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on this evaluation,
management concluded that internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December
31, 2008.
