(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.

There were no dilutive effects of stock options in the first quarter of 2006, as the effect would
have been anti-dilutive due to the net loss incurred.
(6) INDEMNIFICATION OF CUSTOMERS
Our agreements with customers generally require us to indemnify the customer against claims
that our software infringes third party patent, copyright, trademark or other proprietary
rights. Such indemnification obligations are generally limited in a variety of
industry-standard respects, including our right to replace an infringing product. As of
March 31, 2007 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.
(7) BENEFIT PLANS
The Company sponsors an employee incentive savings plan under Section 401(k) for all eligible
employees. The Companys contributions to the plan are discretionary. There were no
contributions to the plan for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006.
10
The Company also sponsors an unfunded Supplemental Executive Retirement Program (SERP),
which is a non-qualified plan that provides certain key employees defined pension benefits.
Periodic pension expense for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 consists of the
following:

$41,534 for the three months ended March 31, 2006.
The discount rate used in determining the actuarial present value of the projected benefit
obligation was 6% for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006.
The Company maintains life insurance covering certain key employees under its Supplemental
Executive Retirement Program with the Company named as beneficiary. The Company intends to
use the death benefits of these policies, as well as loans against the accumulating cash
surrender value of the policies, to fund future pension obligations. The total death benefit
associated with these policies is $10.2 million, with an associated accumulated cash
surrender value of approximately $2,890,000 at March 31, 2007. The accumulated cash surrender
values of these policies at December 31, 2006 was approximately $2,866,000.

Overview
Sales of $3,349,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 increased 37% from sales of
$2,444,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2006. Net income of $118,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 2007 increased $175,000 from the net loss of $57,000 incurred for the first three
months of 2006.
The increase in sales was primarily attributable to revenues generated from the three year managed
services contract to provide Telecommunication Expense Management (TEM) services to Sears Holding
Corporation (SHC) pursuant to a contract announced in the fourth quarter of 2006. Additionally we
realized increased sales of our eCAS and VeraSMART products and services.
Orders received for VeraSMART during the first quarter of 2007 increased 50% from the orders
received in the first quarter of 2006 and included orders from organizations such as eBay, Kimberly
Clark, University of Phoenix, and The Connecticut Department of Revenue, among others. Portions of
the revenues associated with these orders will be recognized in the second quarter. Subsequent to
the end of the first quarter we received a three year extension of our current managed service
contract with Travelers Indemnity Company. The expected revenue from this extension will
approximate $575,000 over the term of the agreement.
For the quarter ended March 31, 2007 we generated a positive cash flow of$215,000 and increased the
value of deferred revenues, which essentially represents backlog, by $105,000.
Sales
Sales generated through our Managed Services operation for the first quarter of 2007 increased 656%
from the first quarter a year ago as a result of revenues generated from our contract with SHC. Our
VeraSMART enterprise software is an integral component of the TEM solution to SHC including
inventory management, analysis and optimization of all telecom services, contract management to
validate terms and conditions of carriers, process management, and network management of the day to
day inventory life cycle. Veramark currently provides solutions on a managed service basis to nine
companies, including St. Paul /Travelers, Coca Cola, Lockheed Martin, Bank of America, and Sony
Corporation. Managed services accounted for 27% of total first quarter revenues.
12
Sales of VeraSMART product and services for the first quarter of 2007 increased 37% over sales
generated for the first quarter of 2006, accounting for 20% of total first quarter revenues. During
the quarter, implementations of VeraSMART products included CBS, The Port of Portland, Watson
Pharmaceutical, John Wiley and Company, and Childrens Hospital of Cincinnati.
Sales of eCAS product and services for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 increased 7% from the same
period of 2006 as a result of increased maintenance revenues generated. Sales to the companys
largest channel of distribution for call accounting products, Avaya, Inc. and its master
distribution channels, decreased 5% from prior year levels, but that shortfall was compensated for
by increased eCAS sales through other channels.
Partially offsetting the increased sales from managed services, VeraSMART, and eCAS, was a decrease
in maintenance revenues realized from VeraSMARTs predecessor product, The Quantum Series, which
decreased 46% for the first quarter of 2007 as compared with the first quarter of 2006. New sales
of Quantum were discontinued in April 2003 with the initial introduction of VeraSMART. Maintenance
support for the Quantum product will cease in its entirety as of December 31, 2007.
Cost of Sales
Gross margin, (defined as sales minus cost of sales) increased 23% from $1,920,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 2006 to $2,361,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007, though
representing a lower percentage of total sales. The gross margin percentage of 70% for the three
months ended March 31, 2007 compares with a gross margin percentage of 79% for the same three
months of 2006. The lower gross margin percentage results from fees paid to a third party
contractor utilized in providing portions of the services associated with the SHC contract.
Operating Expenses
Engineering and Software development expenses, net of software capitalization, totaled $251,000 for
the three months ended March 31, 2007, an increase of 64% from the first three months of 2006.
Though gross spending for engineering and software development expenses increased just 6% from a
year ago, lower capitalization of development costs in 2007 resulted in higher expenses charged to
the Companys statement of operations. The table below summarizes both gross and net engineering
and software development expenses incurred, as well as development costs capitalized and amortized
for both the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006.

Selling, general, and administrative (SG&A) expenses of $2,004,000 for the three months ended March
31, 2007 compares with SG&A expenses of $1,833,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2006, an
increase of $171,000, or 9%. The increased spending includes staffing additions made to the sales
force, initiated in 2006, which have increased compensation and associated travel expenses in 2007
as compared with the previous year.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
For the quarter ended March 31, 2007 we generated a positive cash flow of $215,000 increasing our
total cash position (cash plus short term investments) from $1,695,000 at December 31, 2006 to
$1,910,000 at March 31, 2007. The increased cash flow was primarily attributable to the increased
sales revenue realized in the first quarter.
Accounts receivable of $1,449,000 at March 31, 2007 increased $5,000 from $1,444,000 at December
31, 2006. The reserve for bad debts has been increased from $30,000 at December 31, 2006 to $38,000
at March 31, 2007 reflecting minor shifts in the overall aging of receivables, though the company
does not anticipate any significant collection difficulties.
Prepaid expenses increased from $262,000 at December 31, 2006 to $309,000 at March 31, 2007. The
increase was attributable to prepayments made to a third party contractor providing services
associated with the SHC managed service contract. It is expected that those prepayments will be
charged to cost of sales during the second quarter of 2007.
The total cost value of property and equipment at March 31, 2007 of $5,877,000 decreased $28,000
from the total cost value of property and equipment of $5,905,000 at December 31, 2006. During the
first quarter we disposed of $48,000 of obsolete capital assets, all of which had been fully
depreciated. New capital additions in the first quarter totaled $20,000.
Software development costs capitalized and carried on the balance sheet at March 31, 2007 total
$3,266,000, an increase of 3% from the capitalized development costs of $3,175,000 at December 31,
2006. During the first
14
quarter of 2007 we capitalized $304,000 of software development costs and amortized $214,000 of
previously capitalized costs, which were charged to cost of sales for the quarter.
Pension assets of $2,890,000 at March 31, 2007 increased from $2,866,000 at December 31, 2006.
These assets consist of the cash surrender values of company-owned life insurance policies designed
to fund future pension obligations of the Company. These cash surrender values are also available
to fund current operations in the event that should become necessary.
Current liabilities increased $173,000, or 4%, from $4,834,000 at December 31, 2006 to $5,007,000
at March 31, 2007 as a result of increases of $105,000 in deferred revenues and a $68,000 in the
current portion of the Company pension obligation. Deferred revenues, which essentially
represent a portion of our current backlog, consist of services for which we have billed customers,
but for which we have not yet performed the contracted service, and therefore have not recognized
the associated revenue. The vast majority of currently deferred revenues are expected to be
converted to revenue over the next twelve months. Deferred revenues do not include revenues that
will arise from current managed service contracts. The increased current pension obligation
reflects the previously announced December 31, 2007 retirement of the companys current CEO.
Stockholders equity of $1,129,000 at March 31, 2007 increased $126,000 from the December 31, 2006
balance of $1,003,000, primarily as a result of the first quarter 2007 net profit of $118,000.
Given the companys current cash and investment position, overall liquidity and absence of debt, it
is the opinion of management that sufficient resources are available to fully fund operations and
support ongoing product development efforts for the next twelve months and beyond.

Accounting Pronouncements
|
1) |
|
In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standard (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, including
not-for-profit organizations. SFAS 159 is effective as of the beginning of an entitys
first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. As such, the Company is required to
adopt these provisions at the beginning of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008. The
Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS 159 on its financial statements. |
|
|
2) |
|
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS 123®, Share-Based Payment, which established
standards for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or
services. This standard requires an issuer to measure the cost of employee services
received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value
of the award and the recording of such expense in the consolidated financial statements.
This eliminated the exception to account for such awards using the intrinsic value method
previously allowable under Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25. Pro forma
disclosure of fair value recognition will no longer be an alternative. In addition, the
adoption of SFAS No. 123® required additional accounting related to the income tax effects
and disclosure regarding the cash flow effects resulting from share-based payment
arrangements. |
|
|
|
|
SFAS 123® permits public companies to adopt its requirements using one of two methods: |
Modified prospective method: Compensation cost is recognized beginning with the effective
date of adoption (a) based on the requirements of SFAS No. 123® for all share-based
payments granted after the effective date of adoption and (b) based on the requirements
of SFAS 123 for all awards granted to employees prior to the effective date of adoption
that remain unvested on the date of adoption.
Modified retrospective method: Includes the requirements of the modified prospective
method described above, but also permits restatement using amounts previously disclosed
under the pro forma provisions of SFAS No. 123 either for (a) all periods presented or
(b) prior interim periods of the year of adoption.
|
|
|
In March 2005, the SEC released Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) 107, Share-Based Payment,
which expresses views of the SEC Staff about the application of SFAS No. 123®. In April 2005,
the SEC issued a rule that SFAS No. 123® will be effective for annual reporting periods
beginning on or after June 15, 2005. |
|
3) |
|
In December 2004, FASB issued SFAS 153, Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assetsan amendment
to APB Opinion No. 29. This statement amends APB 29 to eliminate the exception for
nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception
for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. A nonmonetary
exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to
change significantly as a result of the |
16
|
|
|
exchange. Adoption of this statement did not have
a significant impact on our results of operations or financial condition. |
|
4) |
|
In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections
a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3 (SFAS 154). SFAS 154
changes the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting
principle. These requirements apply to all voluntary changes and changes required by an
accounting pronouncement in the unusual instance that the pronouncement does not include
specific transition provisions. SFAS 154 is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2005. As such, the Company was required to adopt these provisions at the
beginning of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006. The Adoption of SFAS 154 did not
have to have a significant impact on the Companys financial statements. |
|
5) |
|
In June 2006, the FASB issued FIN 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes-an
Interpretation of FASB Statement NO. 109. This interpretation clarifies the accounting for
uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprises financial statements. This
interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the
financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be
taken in a tax return. This Interpretation also provides guidance on derecognition,
classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and
transition. Fin 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. As
such, the Company is required to adopt these provisions at the beginning of the fiscal year
ended December 31, 2007. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting Fin 48
on its financial statements, but does not expect adoption to have a significant effect. |
|
6) |
|
In September 2006, SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108 (SAB 108) was issued to
provide guidance on Quantifying Financial Statement Misstatements. SAB 108 addresses how
the effects of prior-year uncorrected misstatements should be considered when quantifying
misstatements in current-year financial statements. The SAB 108 requires registrants to
quantify misstatements using both the balance sheet and income statement approaches and to
evaluate whether either approach results in quantifying an error that is material in light
of relevant quantitative and qualitative factors. When the effect of initial adoption is
determined to be material, the SAB 108 allows registrants to record that effect as a
cumulative-effect to beginning-of-year retained earnings. SAB 108 is effective for fiscal
years ending after November 15, 2006 and early application is encouraged for any interim
period of the first fiscal year ending after that date. The Company will adopt SAB 108 in
January, 2007 and is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SAB 108 on its financial
statements, but does not expect adoption to have a significant effect. |

In each situation, management is required to make estimates about the effects of matters or
future events that are inherently uncertain.
The Companys revenue consists of revenues from the licensing of software to resellers and end
user customers; fees for services rendered to include installation, training, implementation, and
customer maintenance contracts; and the outsourcing or hosting of services.
The Company recognizes software license revenue under Statement of Position No 97-2 Software
Revenue Recognition as amended by Statement of Position No. 98-9, Software Revenue Recognition
With Respect to Certain Transactions, Emerging Issues Task Force 00-21, Revenue Arrangements with
Multiple Deliverables, and related interpretations.
Sales of licensed software sold directly to an end user customer are recognized as revenue
upon delivery and installation of the software at the customer site. Sales of licensed software to
a reseller are recognized as revenue when delivery is made to the reseller. Regardless of the form
of sale no revenue is recognized without persuasive evidence of an arrangement existing. Persuasive
evidence is determined to be a signed purchase order received from the customer or an equivalent
form for those customers lacking a formalized purchase order system. In the case of VeraSMART
sales, a software license agreement signed by both parties is often required in addition to a
purchase order or equivalent. Additionally, revenue is only recognized when a selling price is
fixed or determinable and collectibility of the receivable is deemed to be probable.
Service revenues such as training, installation and implementation are recognized when the
service is complete and acknowledged by the customer, regardless as to whether the sale is on a
direct basis or through a reseller arrangement.
Fees charged to customers for post-contract Customer Support are recognized ratably over the
term of the contract. Costs related to maintenance obligations are expensed as incurred.
Sales which constitute a multiple-element arrangement are accounted for by determining if the
elements can be accounted for as separate accounting units, and if so, by applying values to those
units for which there is vendor specific objective evidence of their fair value. We use the
residual method to apply any remaining balance to the remaining elements of the arrangement. More
specifically, this methodology applies when there is embedded maintenance (post-contract customer
support) involved in the sale of a software license, or when the sale of a software license is made
in conjunction with installation services. In the latter case, the recognition of the software
license is deferred until installation is completed.
18
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.
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 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.
Issues and Risks
The following factors, among others discussed herein and in the Companys filings under the
Act, could cause actual results and future events to differ materially from those set forth
or contemplated in the forward-looking statements: economic, competitive, governmental and
technological factors, increased operating costs, failure to obtain necessary outside
financing, risks related to natural disasters and financial market fluctuations. Such
factors also include:
Intellectual Property Rights
19
Veramark regards its software as proprietary and attempts to protect it with a combination of
copyright, trademark and trade secret protections, employee and third-party non-disclosure
agreements and other
methods of protection. Despite those precautions, it may be possible for unauthorized third
parties to copy certain portions of Veramarks products, reverse engineer or obtain and use
information that Veramark regards as proprietary. The laws of some foreign countries do not
protect Veramarks proprietary rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States.
Any misappropriation of Veramarks intellectual property could have a material adverse effect
on its business and results of operations. Furthermore, although Veramark take steps to
prevent unlawful infringement of others intellectual property, there can be no assurance
that third parties will not assert infringement claims against Veramark in the future with
respect to current or future products. Any such assertion could require Veramark to enter
into royalty arrangements or result in costly litigation.
New Products and Services
Veramark has made significant investments in research, development and marketing for new
products, services and technologies, including the VeraSMART® software offering and its
service bureau outsourced solutions. Significant revenue from new product and service
investments may not be achieved for a number of years, if at all. Moreover, if such
products or services are profitable, operating margins may not be as high as the
margins historically experienced by Veramark.
Declines in Demand for Software
If overall market demand for software and computer devices generally, as well as call
accounting software or enterprise level products specifically, declines, or corporate
spending for such products declines, Veramarks revenue will be adversely affected.
Additionally, Veramarks revenues would be unfavorably impacted if customers reduce their
purchases of new software products or upgrades to existing products.
Product Development Schedule
The development of software products is a complex and time-consuming process. New products
and enhancements to existing products can require long development and testing periods.
Significant delays in new product releases or significant problems in creating new products,
particularly any delays in future releases of the VeraSMART® suite of products, could
adversely affect Veramark revenues.
Competition
Veramark experiences intensive competition across all markets for its products and services.
Some competing firms have greater name recognition and more financial, marketing and
technological resources than Veramark. These competitive pressures may result in decreased
sales volumes, price reductions, and/or increased operating costs, such as for marketing and
sales incentives, resulting in lower revenues, gross margins and operating income.
Marketing and Sales
Veramarks marketing and distribution strategy is founded on building mutually beneficial
relationships with companies that have established distribution networks. Some sell
privately labeled, customized products developed and manufactured by Veramark to their
specific specifications, while others resell Veramarks products. Any loss of the continued
availability of those relationships could have a material adverse effect on Veramarks
business and results of operations.

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