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

Such indemnification obligations are generally limited in a variety of industry-standard respects, including our right to replace an infringing product. As of March 31, 2009 we had not experienced any material losses related to these indemnification obligations and no material claims with respect thereto were outstanding. We do not expect significant claims related to these indemnification obligations, and consequently, we have not established any related reserves.

Overview
Sales for the first quarter ended March 31, 2009 were $2,523,000, or 6% less than sales of $2,672,000 reported for the quarter ended March 31, 2008. Our net loss of $180,000, or $0.02 per share, compares with a net loss of $194,000, also representing $0.02 per share, for the first quarter of 2008.
Revenues and net income for the first quarter of 2009 do not reflect the significant progress that has been made in transforming Veramark from solely a provider of premise based software solutions to one offering a wide variety of telecommunications expense management (TEM) and Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) solutions. Orders for the first quarter of $3,391,000, increased 38% from orders of $2,454,000 received during the first quarter of 2008, and included a number of long term contracts to provide TEM and BPO services. As a result, the revenues associated with those orders are required to be recognized over the life of the contract, rather than recognized immediately upon installation, as would be the case with a direct sale of software.
Due to the increased orders for TEM and BPO solutions, our embedded backlog grew 13% from $6,401,000 at December 31, 2008 to $7,242,000 at March 31, 2009. Embedded backlog is a measure of the unrecognized revenues associated with orders received that will be recognized in future periods as contracted services are rendered.
Sales
Sales of premise based software products, which include the eCAS and VeraSMART product offerings declined 23% from the first quarter of 2008. We are seeing indications that this decline is a by- product of the general economic conditions we face today, conditions that have led many companies to reduce capital spending. Maintenance and service revenues associated with our premise based offerings however, increased slightly during the first quarter of 2009 as compared with 2008 results.
First quarter 2009 revenues generated from managed service, TEM and BPO contracts were 3% below the revenues generated for the same quarter of 2008 due to a single component of our contract with Sears Holding Corporation. Revenues derived from existing contracts are expected to increase for the balance of the year.

Cost of Sales
Gross margin (sales minus cost of sales) of $1,878,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2009, representing 74% of sales, decreased $79,000 as compared with a gross margin of $1,957,000, or 73% of sales for the same quarter of 2008. The reduction in gross margin results from lower revenues recognized in the first quarter of 2009 as compared with the prior year, partially offset by reductions in direct product and overhead costs.
Operating Expenses
Engineering and software developments costs, net of capitalization, of $295,000 for the first three months of 2009 were nearly identical to the net engineering and software development costs of $298,000 incurred for the first three months of 2008. The chart below illustrates however, that despite only a small change in the net expense reported, significant resources were devoted to the development of new products and services during the first three months of 2009 as compared with the prior year, with costs before the effects of capitalization increasing 19% from 2008.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses of $1,774,000 for the first quarter of 2009 decreased $98,000, or 5%, from SG&A expenses of $1,872,000 for the first quarter of 2008. The reduction in expenses reflects restructuring efforts undertaken during 2008 that produced increased efficiencies and lower expense levels for marketing, sales, and customer support and service costs.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The value of cash and short term investments at March 31, 2009 totaled $1,620,000, a decrease from the balance of $1,997,000 at December 31, 2008. The decline in cash position (cash plus the value of short-term investments) is largely attributable to an increase in prepaid expenses and capital spending explained more fully below.
Accounts receivable at March 31, 2009 of $1,111,000 increased 6% from the December 31, 2008 balance of $1,048,000. Despite the increase in accounts receivable, the reserve for bad debts was reduced from $30,000 at December 31, 2008 to $17,000 at March 31, 2009 based on a more favorable aging of individual accounts. There were no write-offs of significance during the first quarter.
Prepaid expenses of $460,000 at March 31, 2009 increased 88% or $215,000 from the December 31, 2008 balance of $245,000. The change includes an increase in prepaid commissions based on the level of first quarter orders, advance payments for conferences and speaking engagements to occur during the second and third quarters of 2009, and prepayments to a third party contractor for services to be provided in the second quarter.

Capital equipment additions totaled $124,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2009, the majority of which involved upgrades to the company’s telecommunications infrastructure. Capital spending for the second quarter is expected to approximate the first quarter level and then decline over the second half of the year. Capital spending for the first three months of 2008 was $55,000.
Software development costs capitalized and included on our balance sheet at March 31, 2009 are $2,701,000, a decrease of $19,000 from the December 31, 2008 balance of $2,720,000. During the first quarter, $298,000 of software development costs were capitalized, up from $200,000 capitalized during the first quarter of 2008. Amortization of prior capitalized costs totaled $317,000 for the quarter, a 20% increase over amortization charges of $264,000 for the same quarter of 2008.
Total current liabilities at March 31, 2009 of $5,172,000 increased 2% from current liabilities of $5,064,000 at the end of 2008. This includes a $107,000 increase in accounts payable directly attributable to the capital equipment additions discussed above. Deferred revenues declined slightly from $3,746,000 at December 31, 2008 to $3,710,000 at March 31, 2009. Deferred revenues, which constitute a portion of the embedded backlog referred to in the overview section of this report consist largely of the unused portions of customer maintenance agreements and will be recognized as revenues over subsequent quarters.
Pension obligations of $4,866,000 at March 31, 2009 decreased from $5,000,010 at December 31, 2008. The recovery of 100% of past and projected future pension obligations is designed through a program of Company-owned life insurance policies, the associated death benefits and cash surrender values of which will provide funding of the total obligation.
Stockholders equity at March 31, 2009 totals $447,000, down from $502,000 at December 31, 2008 and includes the first quarter operating loss.
Given the Company’s current cash position, ready access to short term investments and credit lines combined with the absence of debt, it is the opinion of management that sufficient resources exist to fund current operations and strategic initiatives for the next twelve months and beyond.

Accounting Pronouncements
  1)  
In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141(R), “Business Combinations”. SFAS 141(R) establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree, recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase, and determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS 141(R) is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. As such, the Company is adopted these provisions at the beginning of the fiscal year ending December 31, 2009. Adoption of SFAS 141(R) did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
  2)  
In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51”. SFAS 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. As such, the Company adopted these provisions at the beginning of the fiscal year ending December 31, 2009. Adoption of SFAS 160 did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
  3)  
In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133”. SFAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures about an entity’s derivative and hedging activities. SFAS 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008 with early application encouraged. As such, the Company adopted these provisions at the beginning of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009. Adoption of SFAS 161 did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
  4)  
In May 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”. SFAS 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States. SFAS 162 is effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS 162 on its financial statements, but does not expect it to have a material effect.

In May 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 163, “Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60” (“SFAS 163”). SFAS 163 interprets Statement 60 and amends existing accounting pronouncements to clarify their application to the financial guarantee insurance contracts included within the scope of that Statement. SFAS 163 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and all interim periods within those fiscal years. As such, the Company adopted these provisions at the beginning of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009. Adoption of SFAS 163 did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
  6)  
In June 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) EITF 03-6-1, “Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions are Participating Securities”. FSP EITF 03-6-1 clarifies that share-based payment awards that entitle their holders to receive nonforfeitable dividends or dividend equivalents before vesting should be considered participating securities. We have granted and expect to continue to grant restricted stock that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends and will be considered participating securities upon adoption of FSP EITF 03-6-1. As participating securities, we will be required to include these instruments in the calculation of our basic earnings per share (“EPS”), and we will need to calculate basic EPS using the “two-class method.” Restricted stock is currently included in our dilutive EPS calculation using the treasury stock method. The two-class method of computing EPS is an earnings allocation formula that determines EPS for each class of common stock and participating security according to dividends declared (or accumulated) and participation rights in undistributed earnings. FSP EITF 03-6-1 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and all interim periods within those fiscal years. As such, the Company adopted these provisions at the beginning of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009. Adoption of FSP EITF 03-6-1 did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported therein. The most significant of these involving difficult or complex judgments include:
   
Revenue recognition
 
   
Capitalization of software development costs
 
   
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
 
   
Pension liability
In each situation, management is required to make estimates about the effects of matters or future events that are inherently uncertain.
The Company’s revenue consists of revenues from the licensing of software to resellers and end user customers; fees for services rendered to include installation, training, implementation, and customer maintenance contracts; and the outsourcing or hosting of services.
The Company recognizes software license revenue under 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 collectability of the receivable is deemed to be probable.
Service revenues such as training, installation and implementation are recognized when the service is complete and acknowledged by the customer, regardless as to whether the sale is on a direct basis or through a reseller arrangement.
Fees charged to customers for post-contract Customer Support are recognized ratably over the term of the contract. Costs related to maintenance obligations are expensed as incurred.
Sales which constitute a multiple-element arrangement are accounted for by determining if the elements can be accounted for as separate accounting units, and if so, by applying values to those units for which there is vendor specific objective evidence of their fair value. We use the residual method to apply any remaining balance to the remaining elements of the arrangement. More specifically, this methodology applies when there is embedded maintenance (post-contract customer support) involved in the sale of a software license, or when the sale of a software license is made in conjunction with installation services. In the latter case, the recognition of the software license is deferred until installation is completed.

Table of Contents

The Company’s revenues generated through hosting solutions are recognized using the proportional performance method. Revenues are recognized in the month services are rendered and earned under service agreements with clients where service fees are fixed or determinable. Contracts can be terminated with 90 days written notice. All services provided by us through the date of cancellation are due and payable under the contract terms.
The Company believes its revenue recognition policies are appropriate, in all circumstances, and that its policies are reflective of complexities arising from customer arrangements involving such features as maintenance, warranty agreements, license agreements, and other normal course of business arrangements.
The Company capitalizes software development costs when technological feasibility has been established for the software in accordance with SFAS No. 86, “Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed.” Such capitalized costs are amortized on a product-by-product basis over their economic life or the ratio of current revenues to current and anticipated revenues from such software, whichever provides the greater amortization. The Company periodically reviews the carrying value of capitalized software development costs and impairments are recognized in the results of operations when the expected future undiscounted operating cash flow derived from the capitalized software is less than its carrying value. Should the Company inaccurately determine when a product reaches technological feasibility or the economic life of a product, results could differ materially from those reported. Veramark uses what it believes are reasonable assumptions and where applicable, established valuation techniques in making its estimates.
The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the potential inability of its customers to make required payments. Management specifically analyzes accounts receivable, historical bad debts, credit concentrations and customer payment terms when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts.
The Company sponsors an unfunded Supplemental Executive Retirement Program (SERP), which is a nonqualified plan that provides certain key employees a defined pension benefit. In order to properly record the net present value of future pension obligations a number of assumptions are required to be made by Company’s management. These assumptions include years of service, life expectancies, and projected future salary increases for each participant. In addition, management must make assumptions with regard to the proper long-term interest and liability discount rates to be applied to these future obligations.
Should the Company need to alter any of these assumptions, there is the potential for significant adjustments to future projected pension liabilities.

Risk Factors
The following factors, among others discussed herein and in the Company’s filings under the Act, could cause actual results and future events to differ materially from those set forth or contemplated in this report: economic, competitive, governmental and technological factors, increased operating costs, failure to obtain necessary financing, risks related to natural disasters and financial market fluctuations. Such factors also include:
Intellectual Property Rights
Veramark regards its products as proprietary and attempts to protect them with a combination of copyright, trademark and trade secret protections, employee and third-party non-disclosure agreements and other methods of protection. Despite those precautions, it may be possible for unauthorized third parties to copy certain portions of Veramark’s products, reverse engineer or obtain and use information that Veramark regards as proprietary. The laws of some foreign countries do not protect Veramark’s proprietary rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States. Any misappropriation of Veramark’s intellectual property could have a material adverse effect on its business and results of operations. Furthermore, although Veramark take steps to prevent unlawful infringement of other’s intellectual property, there can be no assurance that third parties will not assert infringement claims against Veramark in the future with respect to current or future products. Any such assertion could require Veramark to enter into royalty arrangements or result in costly litigation.
Existing Customer Base
We derive an increasingly significant portion of our revenues from multi- year managed service contracts. As a result, if we lose a major customer, or if a managed service contract is delayed, reduced, or cancelled, our revenues could be adversely affected. In addition, customers who have accounted for significant revenues in the past may not generate the same amount of revenues in future periods.
Product Development
Veramark has made significant investments in research, development and marketing for new products, services and technologies, including the VeraSMART software offering and its hosted or managed solutions. Significant revenue from new product and service investments may not be achieved for a number of years, if at all. Moreover, if such products or services are profitable, operating margins may not be as high as the margins historically experienced by Veramark. The development of software products is a complex and time-consuming process. New products and enhancements to existing products can require long development and testing periods. Significant delays in new product releases or significant problems in creating new products, particularly any delays in future releases of the VeraSMART suite of products or services, could adversely affect Veramark revenues.
Declines in Demand for Software
If overall market demands for software and computer devices generally, as well as call accounting software or enterprise level products and services specifically, declines, or corporate spending for such products declines, Veramark’s revenue will be adversely affected. Additionally, Veramark’s revenues would be unfavorably impacted if customers reduce their purchases of new software products or upgrades to existing products.
New Products and Services
Veramark is in the process of transforming it’s business model from a company providing largely premise based software products and services to one offering hosted solutions providing a wide variety of TEM processes, such as wireless management, invoice processing, and reporting — as managed services under multi year arrangements. The effect of this transformation will be a reduction in the amount of revenues recognized initially on any given contract than would be realized from a one- time sale of software, but higher embedded future revenues over the life of the contract. Since major components of 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.

Table of Contents

Competition
Veramark experiences intense competition across all markets for its products and services. Some competing firms have greater name recognition and more financial, marketing and technological resources than Veramark. These competitive pressures may result in decreased sales volumes, price reductions, and/or increased operating costs, such as for marketing and sales incentives, resulting in lower revenues, gross margins and operating income.
Marketing and Sales
Veramark’s marketing and distribution strategy is founded on building mutually beneficial relationships with companies that have established distribution networks. Some sell privately labeled, customized products developed and manufactured by Veramark to their specific specifications, while others resell Veramark’s products. Any loss of the continued availability of those relationships could have a material adverse effect on Veramark’s business and results of operations.
Security and Privacy Breaches in our Systems May Damage Client Relations and Inhibit our Growth
The uninterrupted operation of our hosted solutions and the confidentiality of third party information that resides on our systems is critical to our business. We have what we believe to be sufficient security in place to prevent major interruptions in service and to prevent unauthorized access. Any failure in our security and privacy measures could have a material adverse impact on our financial position and results of operations.

Item 3 Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The Company has no long-term bank debt obligations. The Company has no foreign currency exchange risk and has no foreign currency exchange contracts.
Item 4 Controls and Procedures
Based upon an evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Treasurer (Chief Accounting Officer) concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. There have been no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting, that occurred during the period covered by this report, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.
The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that all deficiencies in design or operation of those control systems, or all instances of errors or fraud, will be prevented or detected. Those control systems are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving the goals of those systems in light of the Company’s resources and nature of the Company’s business operations. The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting remain subject to risks of human error and the risk that controls can be circumvented for wrongful purposes by one or more individuals in management or non-management positions.
