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, Veramark’s newest call accounting product, replaces eCAS (Veramark’s 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.

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 marketing team regularly updates the Company’s Web site and works on search engine optimization. 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 Company’s policy is to accept orders only upon receipt of purchase orders.

Employees
As of February 27, 2009 Veramark employed 74 full-time personnel. Veramark’s employees are not represented by any labor unions.
Item 1A 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.
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.

2008 Compared with 2007
Overview
Sales for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2008 of $2,740,000 increased 6% from sales of $2,594,000 for the fourth quarter of 2007. For the full year ended December 31, 2008 sales of $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 Veramark’s 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 Company’s 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 Company’s 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, VeraSMART’s 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 Veramark’s 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
Veramark’s 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.

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 Company’s 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 company’s 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.

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.

Engineering and Software Development Expenses
Engineering and software development expenses, net of the effects of software capitalization, and included in the Company’s 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 company’s 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.

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 Company’s 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 Company’s 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 Company’s 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 Company’s 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.

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 Company’s 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 Company’s 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 Company’s 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:
         
Year Ending December 31,        
 
       
2009
    486,059  
2010
    495,692  
2011
    465,558  
2012
    506,918  
2013
    522,159  
2014-2018
    2,607,898  
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 Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

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:
         
Year Ending December 31,   Operating Leases  
 
       
2009
  $ 435,560  
2010
    342,133  
 
     
 
  $ 777,693  
 
     
The current term of the Company’s lease on its facility expires October 31, 2010.
Purchase Commitments — The Company has no purchase commitment contracts in place as of December 31, 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 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 collectibility of the receivable is deemed to be probable.

Table of Contents

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 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.
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.

Table of Contents

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 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.

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 Company’s 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 company’s 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 Company’s 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:
                 
    2008     2007  
Bond Funds
  $ 278,276     $ 457,615  
US Government Securities
    704,055       1,034,673  
 
           
 
  $ 982,331     $ 1,492,288  
 
           
The contractual maturities of the Company’s 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.

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 Company’s 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.

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 Company’s 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 hierarchy in which the fair value measurement is reported.

Revenue recognition The Company’s revenue consists of revenues from the licensing of software to resellers and end user customers; fees for services rendered to include installation, training, implementation, and customer maintenance contracts; and the outsourcing or hosting of services.
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 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.
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.

5.  
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 Company’s 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.

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 Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Vice President of Finance (Chief Financial 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.
Management’s 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.
