ITEM 1 BUSINESS

 

Summary

 

The Company is primarily engaged in the development, marketing, sales and licensing of products and rendering of professional services related thereto in the following two fields of technology: (1) proprietary two-dimensional matrix symbology (also commonly referred to as “two-dimensional barcodes” or “2D barcodes”), and (2) mobile banking solutions.

 

In this Form 10-K, the Company’s two-dimensional matrix symbology technology will hereafter be referred to as the Company’s “Barcode Technology”, and the Company’s mobile banking technology will hereafter be referred to as its “Mobile Banking Technology”.

 

 

Company History

 

Veritec, Inc. was incorporated in the State of Nevada on September 8, 1982 for the purpose of development, marketing and sales of a line of microprocessor based encoding and decoding system products that utilize matrix symbology technology, a two-dimensional barcode technology originally invented by the founders of Veritec under United States patents 4,924,078, 5,331,176, 5,612,524 and 7,159,780.

 

In 1995, an involuntary proceeding under Chapter 7 of the United States Bankruptcy Code was commenced against Veritec. The proceeding was subsequently converted to a Chapter 11 proceeding and a plan of reorganization was confirmed on April 23, 1997. The Chapter 11 plan was successfully completed and the proceeding was closed on October 13, 1999.

 

In November 2003, Veritec formed a wholly owned subsidiary, Vcode, Inc., to which it assigned its United States patents 4,924,078, 5,331,176 and 5,612,524, together with all corresponding patent applications, foreign patents, foreign patent applications, and all continuations, continuations in part, divisions, extensions, renewals, reissues and re-examinations. Vcode in turn entered into an Exclusive License Agreement with VData LLC (VData), an Illinois limited liability company unrelated to Veritec. The purpose of the incorporation of Vcode and the Exclusive Licensing Agreement was to allow VData to pursue enforcement and licensing of the patents against parties who wrongfully exploit the technology of such patents. VData is the wholly owned subsidiary of Acacia Research Corporation (NASDAQ: ACTG). The Exclusive License Agreement provided that all expenses related to the enforcement and licensing of the patents will be the responsibility of VData, with the parties sharing in the net proceeds, as specified under the terms of the agreement, arising from enforcement or licensing of the patents. In November 2008, VData and Vcode mutually agreed to terminate the Exclusive License Agreement between the two companies. As a result of the termination of the Exclusive License Agreement and conclusion of all lawsuits and enforcement activities by VData, infringement revenue has ceased.

 

In February 2005, an adverse ruling was made in the arbitration proceeding against Veritec in favor of Mitsubishi. This ruling compelled Veritec to file a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court (Bankruptcy Court) for the District of Minnesota on February 28, 2005. After reaching an agreement with Mitsubishi and other creditors, in April 2006, Veritec’s Third Amended Plan of Reorganization was confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court. On August 8, 2006, the Bankruptcy Court entered an Order and Final Decree and closed the Chapter 11 case. In connection with the settlement with Mitsubishi, Veritec obtained a license to certain Mitsubishi EDAC technology and Veritec granted Mitsubishi a license to Veritec’s proprietary VeriCode® Barcode Technology software.

 

Pursuant to an April 27, 2007 agreement between Veritec and RBA International, Inc. (“RBA”), Veritec acquired from RBA the source code, documentation and software to RBA’s Java and IVR software (used for the RBA banking system). In furtherance of such agreement, RBA granted Veritec a perpetual royalty-free non-exclusive worldwide license to use, modify and distribute such software, without restriction, to any existing or future customers. Veritec’s development under this license, as well as Veritec’s independent development of its own mobile banking applications and components, and integration of such items comprises Veritec’s Mobile Banking Technology.

 

On January 12, 2009, Veritec formed a wholly owned subsidiary, Veritec Financial Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation, to bring its Mobile Banking Technology, products and related professional services to market. In May 2009 Veritec was registered by Security First Bank in Visa’s Third Party Registration Program as a Cardholder Independent Sales Organization and Third-Party Servicer. As a Cardholder Independent Sales Organization, Veritec was able to promote and sell Visa branded card programs. As a Third-Party Servicer, Veritec provided back-end cardholder transaction processing services for Visa branded card programs on behalf of Security First Bank. As of October 2010 the Company’s registration with Security First Bank terminated. As of April 2011, the Company signed an ISO and processor agreement with Palm Desert National Bank (which was later assigned to First California Bank) to market and process the Company’s Visa branded card program on behalf of the bank.

Our Products and Solutions

 

I.Barcode Technology

 

Based on our proprietary Barcode Technology, we developed and are marketing the following main products:

 

(a)Product Identification: The VeriCode®

 

Our principal licensed product to date that contains our VeriCode® barcode technology has been a Product Identification system for identification and tracking of manufactured parts, components and products. This technology has been licensed by the Company to manufacturers in the LCD screen manufacturing industry for many years. Licensing revenue for this product has come from the Asia-Pacific region.

 

The VeriCode® symbol is a two-dimensional high data density machine-readable symbol that can contain up to approximately 500 bytes of data. The VeriCode® symbol is based on a matrix pattern. The matrix is made up of data cells, which are light and dark contrasting squares. This part of the symbol looks like a scrambled chessboard. The matrix is enclosed within at least one or more solid lines and/or a solid border. Surrounding the solid border is a quiet zone of empty cells. This simple structure is the basis for the space efficiency of the symbol.

 

The size of the VeriCode® symbol is variable and can be increased or decreased depending on application requirements. The symbol can be configured to fit virtually any space. The data capacity of the symbol is also variable. By using a greater or smaller number of data cells, more or less information can be stored in the symbol.

 

Special orientation for reading the symbol is not necessary. The VeriCode® symbol can be read at high degrees of angularity from vertical, in any direction relative to the reader. Veritec’s symbology and reading software presently employs Error Detection and Correction (EDAC) technology of our own design. That means if a symbol is partially damaged or obscured, the complete data set stored in the symbol might be recovered. EDAC lowers the symbol’s data capacity, but it can permit data recovery if up to 25% of the symbol is damaged. With EDAC, the code will return either accurate information or no information, but it will not return false or wrong information.

 

The VeriCode® symbol offers high degrees of security and the level of this security can be specified depending on the user’s requirements. For any specific application or organization, a unique encryption algorithm can be created so that only authorized persons can create or read a VeriCode® symbol within the user’s application.

 

The VeriCode® symbol can hold any form of binary information that can be digitized including numbers, letters, images and the minutia for biometric information to the extent of its data storage capacity.

 

(b)Secure Bio-ID Cards: The VSCode®

 

The VSCode® is a derivative of the VeriCode® symbol with the ability to encrypt a greater amount of data by increasing data density. The VSCode® is a data storage “container” that offers a high degree of security and which can also be tailored to the application requirements of the user. The VSCode® symbol can hold any form of binary information that can be digitized, including numbers, letters, images, photos, graphics, and the minutia for biometric information, including fingerprints and facial image data, to the extent of its data storage capacity, that are likewise limited by the resolution of the marking and reading devices employed by the user. VSCode® is ideal for secure identification documents (such as national identification cards, drivers licenses, voter registration cards), financial cards, medical records and other high security applications. Because the code may be encrypted on the card it can be an independent portable database containing non-duplicative information that is unique to the individual owner of the data or account information and/or the data can be verified through a central database while maintaining high security for the card issuer without the need of a PIN.

 

Secure Bio-ID cards contain the cardholder’s picture, fingerprint minutia and other pertinent data that can be produced in either a soft or hard card material. In fiscal 2008, the Company sold its first ID card printing system to an Indian tribe living in the U.S. that frequently crosses the U.S./Canadian border. The card printing system, which produces the ID card inclusive of the individual’s picture and Veritec’s VSCode®, allows the Indian tribe to produce identification cards that enable them to enroll tribal members and their descendants. The ID card includes the individual’s personal information and fingerprint, and can also store their facial image, all of which is stored inside the VSCode® in about the size of a postage stamp.

 

The FCR-100 is a compact fingerprint and card reader used to read and decode the VSCode® symbol and can be modified to meet specific application needs. The FCR-100 can be designed to work on most PC based operating systems, including the full suite of Windows® operating systems. This allows the operating system to function with the many different types of VSCode® applications such as bankcards, access control, personnel identification, border control, and hospital identification cards. The FCR–100 is connected and powered by a USB cable connection to a PC or server. The FCR-100 can be utilized with wireless applications and will allow multiple reading stations to be connected to a single computer.

 

Our VeriSuite™ card enrollment system was released in July 2009. The VeriSuite™ system is a user friendly and cost effective solution that gives governments and businesses the ability to provide cardholders with an identity card containing Veritec’s VSCode®. The VSCode® may have multiple encryption layers and the symbol has enough capacity to store personal data, fingerprint and/or facial image data, and other identifying information utilizing Veritec’s custom templates for each card type. The VeriSuite system includes the system software, facial image camera, fingerprint sensor, card reader, and an optional electronic signature pad. The system components are adaptable to be compliant with applicable government identity and financial card standards. The system supports magnetic stripe encoding for numerous applications including: financial cards, rewards programs, internal financial transactions (i.e. school lunch programs), and track three rewritable agency functions. It can also enable identity cards to link to Veritec’s unique real time, web based, PCI compliant processing capabilities to empower card issuers with Veritec’s sophisticated closed looped debit payment card infrastructure. The VeriSuite™ system provides secure Bio-ID Cards such as citizen identification, employee cards, health benefit cards, border control cards, financial cards, and more.

 

(c)PhoneCodes™

 

In its PhoneCodes™ product platform, Veritec developed software to send, store, display, and read a VeriCode® symbol on the LCD screen of a mobile phone. With the electronic media that provide the ease of transferring information over the web, Veritec’s PhoneCodes™ technology enables individuals and companies to receive or distribute gift certificates, tickets, coupons, receipts, or engage in banking transactions using the VeriCode® technology via wireless phone or PDA.

 

The GiftCode™ allows an individual to purchase, by phone, by internet or in person a gift card for a specific dollar amount from a retailer. The gift card can be sent to the recipient via wireless phone and include a message and a two-dimensional matrix code that has the detailed information of the gift card including the amount, the retailer, etc. That recipient can redeem the gift card by selecting merchandise from the retailer and redeeming the gift card value via a code reader at the register at the time of checkout.

 

TicketCode™ for concerts, sporting events, theme parks, etc. can be purchased by phone or internet and received via wireless phone. The TicketCode™ also has the capabilities of including a message and the two-dimensional matrix code along with the event information (date, time, row, seat number, etc.) When arriving at the event, the wireless phone can be scanned at the gate via a code reader allowing immediate entrance.

 

The CouponCode™ is a means for a retailer to increase sales through personalized targeted marketing campaigns. The retailer can tailor the CouponCode™ with company graphics, text messages and the two-dimensional matrix code and send it directly to the customer’s wireless phone. The customer redeems the coupon by passing the wireless phone over the code reader and crediting the coupon value against the purchase.

 

The ReceiptCode™ is the means for financial institutions, retailers and consumers to add security to electronic on-line transactions by sending a receipt electronically in the form of a 2-D barcode. One example, banking over the Internet, the present system allows a purchase to take place by simply filling out the credit card number, expiration date and the three digit code on the back of the plastic card. Presently, the cardholder receives notification of the transaction at much later time via mail or Internet. A ReceiptCode™ would help prevent the fraudulent use of the card by notifying all parties involved instantly in real time by way of an electronic 2-D barcode which can be received over the cell phone.

II.Mobile Banking Technology

 

The Company believes that its Mobile Banking Technology platform and its MTC™ Program is a significant advance in mobile banking technology and is capable of bringing significant value to card issuing and sponsoring organizations, whether they be commercial or government.

 

(a)MTC™ Debit Card - Visa® Prepaid Card Programs

 

In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009, the Company announced the release of its Mobile Toggle Card (MTC™) Program on the Company’s mobile banking software platform. Veritec’s mobile banking software platform is a debit based, pre-paid and gift card solution that is licensed by Veritec’s wholly owned subsidiary, Veritec Financial Systems, Inc. to debit card issuers and sponsoring organizations. Under the MTC™ Program, card issuers and sponsors may provide the MTC™ branded debit or gift cards to individuals with and without demand deposit accounts (e.g., the latter the “under-banked”). The MTC™ card may be part of a Visa® branded program and, as such, the cards are accepted anywhere in the world that Visa cards are accepted.

 

With an MTC™ card, the cardholders are empowered to combat unpermitted and fraudulent use of their debit cards by “toggling” their cards “on” and “off” with their mobile phones. Cardholders no longer have to completely rely on their card issuers to monitor possible fraudulent activity on their accounts. Cardholders can now de-activate their cards themselves, in real time, any time they choose to do so. In addition to this toggling feature, cardholders may apply for their cards online, arrange for direct deposits to be made to their cards, and transfer money to their card from another account. Cardholders may also elect to receive various alerts on their mobile phones about activity on their card. In the first quarter of fiscal 2010, the Company began accepting applications for the MTC™ card from individual applicants and issuing live Visa® branded debit cards under the MTC Mobile Toggle Card Program.

 

(b)Custom Branded Debit Card Programs

 

In addition to the MTC™ branded program, the Company enables card issuers and sponsors to issue debit, pre-paid and gift cards under their own branded programs through licensed use of the mobile banking platform and the Company’s provision of related professional services.

 

Veritec’s mobile banking solution also enables debit card programs to be processed in either an open or closed loop processing environment. In addition to its front-end licensing and professional services, the Company also provides back-end card processing services to the card issuing institutions for all cardholder transactions on the licensed platform. The Company’s Mobile Banking Technology resides within a Payment Card Industry (PCI) compliant data processing center.

 

Intellectual Property Rights

 

The Company was founded upon its intellectual property and in our opinion its intellectual property will give the Company a commercial advantage in the global marketplace. The Company relies on patent, trade secret, copyright and trademark law, as well as the company’s contractual terms with its customers, to define, maintain and enforce the Company’s intellectual property rights in its Barcode Technology, Mobile Banking Technology and other technologies and relationships.

 

The Company has a portfolio of five United States and seven foreign patents. In addition, we have seven U.S. and twenty-nine foreign pending patent applications.

 

A significant amount of the Company’s intellectual property takes the form of trade secrets and copyrighted works of authorship. The Company treats the source code to its Barcode Technology and Mobile Banking Technology as trade secrets, and its licensed software applications are copyrightable subject matter.

 

We have a portfolio of registered and pending trademarks in the U.S. and foreign jurisdictions, including registrations for the marks “VSCode” and “VeriCode”. The Company uses “Veritec” as a trade mark and service mark, as well as it serving as the Company’s trade name.

 

Major Customers

 

The Company’s four biggest customers in fiscal 2012 represented an aggregate of 65% of our revenue. During fiscal 2012 and 2011, 56% and 98% respectively, of our revenue was from customers outside the United States.

 

Engineering, Research and Development

 

As of June 30, 2012, the Company employed one engineer and engaged five engineering independent contractors. During the fiscal year that ended June 30, 2012, we concentrated on several projects which included the continued development of the FCR-500 fingerprint and card reader, the Verisuite Bio-ID software platform, the PhoneCodes software platform, and the Mobile Banking Technology platform.

 

All of these projects are currently in various stages of development or have been completed.

 

Competition

 

Our Barcode Technology (e.g., VeriCode® and VSCode®) competes with alternative machine-readable codes such as conventional one dimensional and two dimensional bar code systems, including Data Matrix, QR, CP, Maxi Code, PDF-417, RF-ID and smart cards (e.g., cards with integrated circuits). We think that the Company’s Barcode Technology is far better than the 2D barcode competition because the competition here is a commodity focused principally on convenience. Our Barcode Technology is much more robust in terms of data storage and much more secure, due in part to the source code being kept as a trade secret. The Company’s Barcode Technology is far better than RF-ID and smart cards because it is far less expensive and it is not susceptible to breaking. Competitors offering alternative symbologies include Motorola Inc (NYSE: MOT); Zebra Technologies Corporation (NASDAQ: ZBRA); and Siemens Energy and Automation, Inc., a subsidiary of Siemens AG (NYSE: SI).

 

4
 

Many two-dimensional matrix symbology codes such as Data Matrix, QR Code and PDF-417 are “public domain” and are readily available on the Internet. As public domain technology, the source code containing the methods for writing and reading these codes are in the public domain and therefore known to developers and technology “hackers”. Veritec’s Barcode Technology remains proprietary; its source code is kept as a trade secret and thus is more secure than any such public domain code. Veritec believes that while many potential customers and users of symbology prefer to use a system that is believed to be in the public domain with open source code software applications, other companies, especially those requiring high security encoding and decoding capability will prefer to purchase “closed” or proprietary systems. Our technology may be the technology of choice for these potential customers.

 

Our Mobile Banking Technology competes with other independent sales organizations and third party services of Visa branded card programs, including TransCash Corporation, Ready Debit Card by MetaBank, Millenium Advantage Card by New Millenium Bank, and Wired Plastic by Bancorp Bank. The Company believes, however, that there are very few companies that have the Company’s collective attributes of (1) being an independent sales organization of Visa branded prepaid card programs, (2) being a third party servicer (e.g., back end processor) for banks issuing Visa branded prepaid card programs, (3) being the developer, marketer and licensor of the mobile banking platform on which Visa branded card program cardholder transactions take place, and (4) having a mobile banking platform that enables real-time transaction processing and enabling cardholders to manage their accounts by enabling cardholders to toggle their cards and their website accounts on and off via their mobile phones.

 

Employees

 

As of June 30, 2012, the Company employed five employees and six independent contractor consultants.

 

Financial Information about Geographic Areas

 

For the fiscal year ended, June 30, 2012, United States customers accounted for 44% (2% in fiscal 2011) of the Company’s total revenue. The remaining revenue of 56% (98% in fiscal 2011) was from foreign customers. Our foreign revenues in all periods have been concentrated in Japan, Korea, Taiwan, China and Germany.

 

ITEM 2 PROPERTIES

 

We lease approximately 4,200 square feet of office and laboratory space at 2445 Winnetka Avenue North, Golden Valley, Minnesota, which serves as our primary place of business. This lease is with Van Thuy Tran, the
Chairman of the Board and the Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Our lease requires monthly payments of $4,200 which ran through June 30, 2012, and was automatically extended for two one-year term.

 

The Company leased on a month-to-month basis, a single-family residence located at 2415 Winnetka Ave. N., Golden Valley, Minnesota in order to provide business housing for the Company’s business visitors, consultants and employees from outside the State of Minnesota. The lease required a monthly payment of $1,200. The residence is owned by Larry Johanns, a principal of The Matthew Group, LLC and significant shareholder of the Company. This lease was terminated on October 31, 2010.

 

ITEM 3 LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

From time to time, we are a party to claims and legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. Our management evaluates our exposure to these claims and proceedings individually and in the aggregate and provides for potential losses on such litigation if the amount of the loss is estimable and the loss is probable.

 

On February 15, 2011, the Company filed a complaint in U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota against Aurora Financial Systems, Inc. (“Aurora”) for declaratory judgment, tortious interference and other related claims concerning assertions by Aurora regarding United States Patent No. 7,229,006. The complaint related to Aurora’s improper and unlawful assertions of patent against certain software owned by the Company which was lawfully acquired from the software’s owner and inventor before the purported assignment of any patent rights to Aurora. Even though Aurora was aware of the lawful acquisition yet they have made repeated claims about the Company’s purported patent infringement relating to the Company’s use and licensing of the software to various financial institutions with which the Company has sought business relationship. The Company was seeking a declaration of non-infringement based on legal estoppel and implied license as well as a judgment that Aurora has committed tortious interference with prospective economic advantage, false advertising under the Lanham Act and has violated Minnesota’s Deceptive Trade Practices Act. As of June 30, 2011, the case was in discovery and Aurora did not countersue. On May 4, 2012 the case was dismissed with prejudice with the each party bearing its own fees and costs.

 

Except as set forth above, there are no material litigation matters at the current time.

(1)The Board of Directors authorized the Chief Executive Officer to issue up to 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock in the form of options or stock bonuses to employees and consultants. The Company has agreements with certain employees that provide for five years of annual grants of options, on each employment anniversary date, to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock. The option price is determined based on the market price on the date of grant, the options vest one year from the date of grant, and the options expire five years after vesting. The Company granted 0 and 10,000 options under this arrangement in 2012 and 2011, respectively.

ITEM 7 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Results of Operations – June 30, 2012 compared to June 30, 2011

 

We had a net loss of $846,461 in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012 compared to a net loss of $990,197 in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011.

 

Revenues

 

Details of revenues are as follows:

 

   Year Ended June 30,  Increase (Decrease)
   2012  2011  $  %
             
License  $441,157   $819,486   $(378,329)   (46.2)
Hardware   20,010    49,045    (29,035)   (59.2)
Identification Card   11,936    7,722    4,214    54.6 
Debit Card Revenue   113,681    9,153    104,528    1,142.0 
                     
Total Revenues  $586,784   $885,406   $(298,622)   (33.7)

 

License and hardware revenues are derived from our Product Identification systems sold principally to customers in the LCD manufacturing industry. Identification Card revenues in these periods were a result of sales of identification card systems.

 

The license revenue decrease was mainly attributable to reduction in demand for LCD screens. Revenues from the LCD market remain unpredictable as they are generated when customers open new production facilities or update production equipment; however, for now the Company continues to experience relatively low demand for product identification product licenses in the LCD industry. A large portion of our license sales are concentrated in the Asia-Pacific market, which decreased $549,394 in Taiwan, Germany, and Korea. The largest increase of our license sales for the year ended June 30, 2012, was in China, which increased $15,150.

 

The significant increase in debit card revenue during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012 compared to prior year was mainly attributable to large orders from a customer for the Company’s prepaid debit card.

 

Cost of Goods Sold

 

Cost of sales for the year ended June 30, 2012, totaled $244,687 and for the year ended June 30, 2011, cost of sales was $347,400, a decrease of $102,713. As a percentage of revenue, for the year ended June 30, 2012, cost of sales was 41.7% compared to 39.2% for the year ended June 30, 2011. The increase in the cost of sales as a percentage of revenue was principally the result of decreases in revenues. Charges of $216,431 and $277,755 for the years ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively for a designated site and maintenance services of a computer database to store information in conjunction with our Independent Sales Organization (ISO) license, purchased in December 2006, accounted for 88% and 80% of the total cost of goods sold for the years ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Included in the cost of goods sold for the year ended June 30, 2012, were network and consulting fees of $1,323 for the mobile debit card, and freight and handling expense of $2,795. Cost of goods sold associated with the license, hardware and identification revenue was $28,257 or 4.8% of total licensing, hardware, identification card revenue, and debit card revenue for the year ended June 30, 2012, compared to $69,644 or 7.9% for the year ended June 30, 2011.

 

Operating Expenses

 

General and administrative expenses for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012 were $605,721, compared to $986,130 for fiscal year ended June 30, 2011, a decrease of $380,409. The decrease was the result of decreases in salaries and payroll related costs by $33,640, health insurance by $17,804, audit fees by $39,261, depreciation expense by $12,788, legal fees by $179,558, patent renewal costs by $26,533, travel costs by $7,811, bad debt expense by $54,546, and payroll interest and penalties by $23,586 compared to the year ended June 30, 2011. Significant increases during the year ended June 30, 2012, compared to the prior year included increases in administrative consultants’ expenses by $30,611 and bank charges by $3,808.

 

Sales and marketing expense for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012 was $144,965 compared to $162,614 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011, a decrease of $17,649. The Company’s sales and marketing payroll and related costs decreased by $11,892 for the year ended June 30, 2012 as a result of the Company’s cost reduction strategy.

 

Research and development expense for the year ended June 30, 2012 totaled $206,748 versus $219,334 for the year ended June 30, 2011 a decrease of $12,586. This cost savings was the result of reduction in research and development staff level. Consultant and project costs were $136,889 for the year ended June 30, 2012 compared to $58,013 for the year ended June 30, 2011, a difference of $78,876.

 

Other Income (Expense)

 

Interest income for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012 was $111 compared to $0 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011, an increase of $111. The increase was a result of the interest earned on the Company’s restricted cash with one financial institution. Interest expense for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012 was $231,235 compared to $160,125 in fiscal year 2011 an increase of $71,110. Apart from the additional financing activities in fiscal 2012 that attracted higher interest rates most of the increased interest expense over prior year was due to the amortization of discount on notes payable.

 

Capital Expenditures and Commitments

 

We made no capital purchases in fiscal 2012 and 2011, respectively.

 

Liquidity

 

Our increase in cash and cash equivalent to $62,115 at June 30, 2012 compared to $14,996 at June 30, 2011 was the result of $471,546 used in operating activities; $11,668 used in investing activities; and $530,333 provided by financing activities. Net cash used in operations during 2012 was $471,546 compared with $91,619 used in operations during the same period in 2011. Cash used in operations during 2012 was primarily due to the net loss in the period. Net cash used in investing activities of $11,668 during 2012 compared with $60,000 during 2011 was primarily the result of payment on note receivable. Net cash provided by financing activities of $530,333 during 2012 was primarily due to proceeds from notes payable of $535,217 and payment of $4,884 on note payable. During the same period in 2011, the net cash provided by financing activities of $134,700 was from proceeds from notes payable of $134,700.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. During the year ended June 30, 2012, the Company had a net loss of $846,461 and used cash in operations of $471,546. At June 30, 2012, the Company had a working capital deficit of $4,283,981 and a stockholders’ deficiency of $4,283,337. The Company is also delinquent in payment of certain amounts due of $521,568 for payroll taxes and accrued interest and penalties as of June 30, 2012.  The Company believes its cash and forecasted cash flow from operations will not be sufficient to continue operations through fiscal 2013 without continued external investment. The Company believes it will require additional funds to continue its operations through fiscal 2013 and to continue to develop its existing projects and plans to raise such funds by finding additional investors to purchase the Company’s securities, generating sufficient sales revenue, implementing dramatic cost reductions or any combination thereof. There is no assurance that the Company can be successful in raising such funds, generating the necessary sales or reducing major costs. Further, if the Company is successful in raising such funds from sales of equity securities, the terms of these sales may cause significant dilution to existing holders of common stock. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from this uncertainty. Our auditor has issued a “going concern” qualification as part of their opinion in the Audit Report for the year ended June 30, 2012.

The Company has traditionally been dependent on The Matthews Group, LLC, a related party, for its financial support. The Matthews Group is owned 50% by Van Tran, the Company’s CEO/Executive Chair and a director, and 50% by Larry Johanns, a significant Company stockholder. In fiscal 2012, The Matthews Group loaned the Company $46,000 mostly in the form of convertible demand notes payable. Through June 30, 2011 The Matthews Group, LLC, Company executives, a member of the Company’s Board of Directors, and other individuals loaned $2,240,661 to the Company. Included in this amount was $550,000 made under a subscription agreement form of private offering. Subsequent to fiscal 2012 and through October 2012 the Company issued to The Matthews Group and certain individual unsecured and convertible demand notes totaling $81,000 at an interest rate of 10% per annum. However additional capital most likely will be required to continue the Company’s business, and the Company has no guarantee that The Matthews Group, LLC, the executives, Board member, and other individuals will continue to provide funding. As of June 30, 2012, the Company had $62,115 in cash and a ($4,283,981) working capital deficit. The Company will require additional funds to continue its operations through fiscal year 2013 and continue to develop its existing and future projects by obtaining investment funds, generating sufficient sales revenue, implementing dramatic cost reductions or any combination thereof. However, there is no assurance that the Company can be successful in raising such funds, generating the necessary sales or reducing major costs.

 

Further, due to the Company’s prior bankruptcies and history of losses, it may be difficult for the Company to raise additional funds, if required. If the Company cannot raise such capital, or if the cost of such capital is too high, we may be unable to successfully launch or continue development of new products. If losses continue, we may be unable to continue in business.

 

Commitments and Contractual Obligations

 

The Company has one annual lease commitment of $50,400 for the corporate office building, which is leased from Ms. Tran, our chief executive officer, that expired June 30, 2012 which was automatically extended for two one-year term. The commitment is for the corporate offices at 2445 Winnetka Avenue North, Golden Valley, Minnesota. The total amount of the two-year lease commitment is $100,800.

 

VTFS entered into a thirteen-month processing center contract beginning April 19, 2011, with monthly commitments of approximately $10,434. The term of the agreement is through May 2012 with automatic monthly extensions.

 

Subsequent to the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012, the Company entered into consulting and confidentiality agreements with various entities. There was no future commitment under these agreements. The Company also entered into sales and confidentiality agreements with various entities for the marketing of its mobile debit card in return for commissions from sales revenue from its debit card transactions. Subsequent to year end and through October 2012, the Company borrowed additional $81,000 with annual interest at 10%, due to a related party and an individual, convertible into common stock at prices ranging from $0.10 to $0.15 per share, and due on demand.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Stock-Based Compensation:

 

The Company periodically issues stock options and warrants to employees and non-employees in capital raising transactions, for services and for financing costs.  Stock-based compensation for employees is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as expense over the requisite service period.  Options vest and expire according to terms established at the grant date. The value of the stock compensation to non-employees is based upon the measurement date as determined at either a) the date at which a performance commitment is reached, or b) at the date at which the necessary performance to earn the equity instruments is complete.

 

We estimate volatility and forfeitures based upon historical data. As permitted by the authoritative guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, we use the “simplified” method to determine the expected life of an option due to the Company’s lack of sufficient historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis, which is a result of the relative high turnover rates experienced in the past for positions granted options. All of these variables have an effect on the estimated fair value of our share-based awards.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company accounts for revenue recognition in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 101 "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements" and related amendments. Revenues for the Company are classified into four separate products; license revenue (Veritec’s Multi-Dimensional matrix symbology), hardware revenue, identification card revenue, and debit card revenue. Revenues from licenses, hardware, and identification cards are recognized when the product is shipped and collection is reasonably assured. The process typically begins for license and hardware revenue with a customer purchase order detailing its hardware specifications so the Company can import its software into the customer's hardware. Once importation is completed, if the customer only wishes to purchase a license, the Company typically transmits the software to the customer via the Internet. Revenue is recognized at that point. If the customer requests both license and hardware products, once the software is imported into the hardware and the process is complete, the product is shipped and revenue is recognized at time of shipment. Once the software and/or hardware are either shipped or transmitted, the customers do not have a right of refusal or return. Under some conditions, the customers remit payment prior to the Company having completed importation of the software. In these instances, the Company delays revenue recognition and reflects the prepayments as customer deposits.

 

The process for identification cards begins when a customer requests, via the Internet, an identification card. The card is reviewed for design and placement of the data, printed and packaged for shipment. At the time the identification cards are shipped and collection is reasonably assured, revenue is recognized.

 

The Company, as a processor and a distributor, recognizes revenue from transaction fees charged cardholders for the use of its issued mobile debit cards. The fees are recognized on a monthly basis after all cardholder transactions have been summarized and reconciled with third party processors.

 

 

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

 

In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2011-4, which amends the Fair Value Measurements Topic of the Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) to help achieve common fair value measurement and disclosure requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS. ASU No. 2011-4 does not require additional fair value measurements and is not intended to establish valuation standards or affect valuation practices outside of financial reporting. The ASU is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company will adopt the ASU as required. The ASU will affect the Company’s fair value disclosures, but will not affect the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-5, which amends the Comprehensive Income Topic of the ASC. The ASU eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in shareholders’ equity, and instead requires consecutive presentation of the statement of net income and other comprehensive income either in a continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. ASU No. 2011-5 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company will adopt the ASU as required. It will have no affect on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.

 

Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the AICPA, and the Securities Exchange Commission (the "SEC") did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company's present or future financial statements.

The Board of Directors and Stockholders

Veritec, Inc.

Golden Valley, Minnesota

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Veritec, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2012 and 2011, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficiency and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated 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 audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated 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 audits 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 includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Veritec, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of June 30, 2012 and 2011, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has had recurring losses from operations and had a stockholders’ deficiency as of June 30, 2012. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans concerning this matter are also described in Note 2. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

VERITEC, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 2012 AND 2011

 

NOTE1 - OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The Company 

The Company refers to Veritec, Inc. (Veritec) and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Vcode Holdings, Inc. (Vcode), and Veritec Financial Systems, Inc. (VTFS).

Nature of Business

The Company is primarily engaged in the development, marketing, sales and licensing of products and rendering of professional services related thereto in the following two fields of technology: (1)  proprietary two-dimensional matrix symbology (also commonly referred to as “two-dimensional barcodes” or “2D barcodes”), and (2) mobile banking solutions.

The Company’s two-dimensional matrix symbology technology will hereafter be referred to as the Company’s “Barcode Technology”, and the Company’s mobile banking technology will hereafter be referred to as its “Mobile Banking Technology”.

The Company’s Barcode Technology was originally invented by the founders of Veritec under United States patents 4,924,078, 5,331,176, 5,612,524 and 7,159,780.  Our principal licensed product to date that contains our VeriCode ® Barcode Technology has been a product identification system for identification and tracking of manufactured parts, components and products. The VeriCode® symbol is a two-dimensional high data density machine-readable symbol that can contain up to approximately 500 bytes of data.

The Company’s VSCode® Barcode Technology is a derivative of the VeriCode® symbol with the ability to encrypt a greater amount of data by increasing data density.  The VSCode ® is a data storage “container” that offers a high degree of security and which can also be tailored to the application requirements of the user. The VSCode ® symbol can hold any form of binary information that can be digitized, including numbers, letters, images, photos, graphics, and the minutia for biometric information, including fingerprints and facial image data, to the extent of its data storage capacity, that are likewise limited by the resolution of the marking and reading devices employed by the user.  VSCode ® is ideal for secure identification documents (such as national identification cards, driver’s licenses, and voter registration cards), financial cards, medical records and other high security applications.

In its PhoneCodes™ product platform, Veritec developed software to send, store, display, and read a VeriCode® Barcode Technology symbol on the LCD screen of a mobile phone. With the electronic media that provide the ease of transferring information over the web, Veritec’s PhoneCodes™ technology enables individuals and companies to receive or distribute gift certificates, tickets, coupons, receipts, or engage in banking transactions using the VeriCode ® technology via wireless phone or PDA.

On January 12, 2009, Veritec formed VTFS, a Delaware corporation, to bring its Mobile Banking Technology, products and related professional services to market.  In May 2009 Veritec was registered by Security First Bank in Visa’s Third Party Registration Program as a Cardholder Independent Sales Organization and Third-Party Servicer.  As a Cardholder Independent Sales Organization, Veritec was able to promote and sell Visa branded card programs.  As a Third-Party Servicer, Veritec provided back-end cardholder transaction processing services for Visa branded card programs on behalf of Security First Bank. As of October 2010 the Company’s registration with Security First Bank terminated. As of April 2011 the Company signed an ISO and processor agreement with Palm Desert National Bank (which was later assigned to First California Bank) to market and process the Company’s Visa branded card program on behalf of the bank.

Our VeriSuite™ card enrollment system was released in July 2009.  The VeriSuite™ system is a user friendly and cost effective solution that gives governments and businesses the ability to provide cardholders with an identity card containing Veritec’s VSCode® Barcode Technology.  The VeriSuite™ system provides secure Bio-ID Cards such as citizen identification, employee cards, health benefit cards, border control cards, financial cards, and more.

The Company has a portfolio of five United States and eight foreign patents. In addition, we have seven U.S. and twenty-eight foreign pending patent applications.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Veritec, Vcode, and VTFS. Intercompany transactions and balances were eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Those estimates and assumptions include estimates for reserves of uncollectible accounts, analysis of impairments of long lived assets, accruals for potential liabilities and assumptions made in valuing stock instruments issued for services.

Accounts Receivable

The Company sells to domestic and foreign companies and grants uncollateralized credit to customers, but require deposits on unique orders. Management periodically reviews its accounts receivable and provides an allowance for doubtful accounts after analyzing the age of the receivable, payment history and prior experience with the customer. The estimated loss that management believes is probable is included in the allowance for doubtful accounts.

While the ultimate loss may differ, management believes that any additional loss will not have a material impact on the Company's financial position. Due to uncertainties in the settlement process, however, it is at least reasonably possible that management's estimate will change during the near term.

Inventories

Inventories, consisting of purchased components for resale, are stated at the lower of cost or market, applying the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Inventory is net of reserves of $23,900 as of June 30, 2012 and 2011.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of 3 to 7 years. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and the resulting gain or loss is recognized. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred; significant renewals and betterments are capitalized.

Management regularly reviews property, equipment and other long-lived assets for possible impairment. This review occurs quarterly, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. If there is indication of impairment, management prepares an estimate of future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. If these cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized to write down the asset to its estimated fair value. Based upon management’s assessment, there were no indicators of impairment at June 30, 2012 or 2011.

Concentrations

The Company’s cash balances on deposit with banks are guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000. The Company may be exposed to risk for the amounts of funds held in one bank in excess of the insurance limit. In assessing the risk, the Company’s policy is to maintain cash balances with high quality financial institutions. The Company had cash balance in excess of the guarantee during the year ended June 30, 2012.

As of June 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company had approximately $6,050 (25%), $10,025 (42%) and $6,050 (16%), $10,963 (29%), $10,025 (27%) and $5,300 (14%), respectively, of accounts receivable due from its major customers.

 

Foreign Revenues:

Foreign revenues accounted for 56% of the Company’s total revenues in fiscal 2012 and 98% in fiscal 2011. (41% Korea, 10% Taiwan, and 5% others in fiscal 2012 and 21% Taiwan, 74% Korea, and 3% others in fiscal 2011.)

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value Measurements are adopted by the Company based on the authoritative guidance provided by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, with the exception of the application of the statement to non-recurring, non-financial assets and liabilities as permitted. The adoption based on the authoritative guidance provided by the Financial Accounting Standards Board did not have a material impact on the Company's fair value measurements. Based on the authoritative guidance provided by the Financial Accounting Standards Board defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. FASB authoritative guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value into three broad levels as follows:

 

Level1- Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level2- Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly.
Level3- Unobservable inputs based on the Company's assumptions.

The Company had no such assets or liabilities recorded to be valued on the basis above at June 30, 2012 or 2011.

Revenue Recognition 

The Company accounts for revenue recognition in accordance with guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board. Revenues for the Company are classified into four separate products: license revenue (Veritec’s Multi-Dimensional matrix symbology), hardware revenue, identification card revenue, and debit card revenue.

Revenues from licenses, hardware, and identification cards are recognized when the product is shipped and collection is reasonably assured. The process typically begins for license and hardware revenue with a customer purchase order detailing its hardware specifications so the Company can import its software into the customer's hardware. Once importation is completed, if the customer only wishes to purchase a license, the Company typically transmits the software to the customer via the Internet. Revenue is recognized at that point. If the customer requests both license and hardware products, once the software is imported into the hardware and the process is complete, the product is shipped and revenue is recognized at time of shipment. Once the software and/or hardware are either shipped or transmitted, the customers do not have a right of refusal or return. Under some conditions, the customers remit payment prior to the Company having completed importation of the software. In these instances, the Company delays revenue recognition and reflects the prepayments as customer deposits.

The process for identification cards begins when a customer requests, via the Internet, an identification card. The card is reviewed for design and placement of the data, printed and packaged for shipment. At the time the identification cards are shipped and collection is reasonably assured, revenue is recognized.

The Company, as a processor and a distributor, recognizes revenue from transaction fees charged cardholders for the use of its issued mobile debit cards. The fees are recognized on a monthly basis after all cardholder transactions have been summarized and reconciled with third party processors.

 

Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs

For the years ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, shipping and handling fees billed to customers of $3,156 and $777, respectively were included in revenues and shipping and handling costs of $2,988 and $3,087, respectively were included in cost of sales.

 

Research and Development

Research and development costs were expensed as incurred.

Loss per Common Share

Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) applicable to Common Stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) applicable to Common Stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if all dilutive potential common shares had been issued, using the treasury stock method. Potential common shares are excluded from the computation as their effect is antidilutive.

For the years ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 the calculations of basic and diluted loss per share are the same because potential dilutive securities would have an anti-dilutive effect.

The potentially dilutive securities consisted of the following as of: 

   June 30,
   2012 2011
Warrants   275,000   275,000 
Series H Preferred Stock   10,000   10,000 
Convertible Notes Payable   6,382,758   5,554,993 
Options   754,249   824,249 
Total   7,422,007   6,664,242 

 

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company periodically issues stock options and warrants to employees and non-employees in capital raising transactions, for services and for financing costs.  Stock-based compensation for employees is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as expense over the requisite service period. Options vest and expire according to terms established at the grant date. The value of the stock compensation to non-employees is based upon the measurement date as determined at either a) the date at which a performance commitment is reached, or b) at the date at which the necessary performance to earn the equity instruments is complete.

Income Taxes

Current income tax expense is the amount of income taxes expected to be payable for the current year. A deferred income tax asset or liability is established for the expected future consequences of temporary differences in the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities. The Company considers future taxable income and ongoing, prudent and feasible tax planning strategies, in assessing the value of its deferred tax assets. If the Company determines that it is more likely than not that these assets will not be realized, the Company will reduce the value of these assets to their expected realizable value, thereby decreasing net income. Evaluating the value of these assets is necessarily based on the Company’s judgment. If the Company subsequently determined that the deferred tax assets, which had been written down, would be realized in the future, the value of the deferred tax assets would be increased, thereby increasing net income in the period when that determination was made.

Recently Issued Accounting Standard 

In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2011-4, which amends the Fair Value Measurements Topic of the Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) to help achieve common fair value measurement and disclosure requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS. ASU No. 2011-4 does not require additional fair value measurements and is not intended to establish valuation standards or affect valuation practices outside of financial reporting. The ASU is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company will adopt the ASU as required. The ASU will affect the Company’s fair value disclosures, but will not affect the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-5, which amends the Comprehensive Income Topic of the ASC. The ASU eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in shareholders’ equity, and instead requires consecutive presentation of the statement of net income and other comprehensive income either in a continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. ASU No. 2011-5 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company will adopt the ASU as required. It will have no affect on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.

Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the AICPA, and the Securities Exchange Commission (the "SEC") did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company's present or future financial statements.

NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. During the year ended June 30, 2012, the Company had a net loss of $846,461 and used cash in operations of $471,546. At June 30, 2012, the Company had a working capital deficit of $4,283,981 and a stockholders’ deficiency of $4,283,337. The Company is also delinquent in payment of certain amounts due of $521,568 for payroll taxes and accrued interest and penalties as of June 30, 2012.  The Company believes its cash and forecasted cash flow from operations will not be sufficient to continue operations through fiscal 2013 without continued external investment. The Company believes it will require additional funds to continue its operations through fiscal 2013 and to continue to develop its existing projects and plans to raise such funds by finding additional investors to purchase the Company’s securities, generating sufficient sales revenue, implementing dramatic cost reductions or any combination thereof. There is no assurance that the Company can be successful in raising such funds, generating the necessary sales or reducing major costs. Further, if the Company is successful in raising such funds from sales of equity securities, the terms of these sales may cause significant dilution to existing holders of common stock. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from this uncertainty.

The Company has relied on The Matthews Group, LLC (TMG), a related party owned 50% by Van Tran, the Company’s CEO/Executive Chair and a director, and 50% by Larry Johanns, a significant Company’s stockholder for funding. Through June 2012, TMG, executives, and some individuals have funded $3,033,835 mostly in the form of convertible notes payable. During fiscal year 2012, TMG and some individuals funded $46,000, mostly in the form of convertible notes payable.

Subsequent to June 30, 2012, the Company has received additional notes payable financing of $81,000 through October 2012 (see Note 11).

 

NOTE 3 – RESTRICTED CASH

 

The Company entered into a Store Value Prepaid Card Sponsorship Agreement (the “Agreement”) with a Bank. Whereas the Company has developed for marketing and management purposes, store value prepaid card programs (the “Programs”) which will be marketed and managed daily at the direction of the Bank. In connection with the agreement with the Bank, the Company established a Reserve Account controlled by the bank in the amount of $500,000. Since this amount is restricted for the purposes related to the Programs, it is classified as restricted cash on the consolidated balance sheet.

NOTE 4 – NOTES RECEIVABLE

In August 2010, the Company entered into an agreement with Global TV, Inc. for the purpose of forming a strategic partnership to raise capital for the implementation and promotion of private-labeled debit card programs. The Company was initially to make funds available to Global TV in the amount of $70,000 and agreed to make another $30,000 available to Global TV if the Company successfully raised $2,000,000 in additional capital, provided certain conditions were met. As of December 31, 2010, the agreement terminated as a result of the failure to meet the conditions stipulated by the agreement.

In accordance with this agreement during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 the Company entered into various short-term notes receivable agreements totaling $60,000 with Global TV. The notes were to accrue interest at a rate of 10%, were due September through October 2010, and were secured by certain fixed and other assets of Global TV. The notes remained unpaid as of June 30, 2012, and the Company is negotiating an extension of the due dates. However, the Company has provided a full reserve against the notes as of June 30, 2011.

In April 2012 the Company made a short-term loan of $1,500 to a certain individual who was assisting the Company with raising working capital. The arrangement did not materialize and the loan remained unpaid as of the end of the fiscal year. The Company has fully provided an allowance for the loan as collection was not expected.

During the year ended June 30, 2012, the Company made short-term loans totaling $10,168 to a certain individual. As mutually agreed between the parties the Company offset the total loan against notes payable from this individual to the Company.

   $644  $16,468 

 

Depreciation expense for the years ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 was $15,824 and $28,611, respectively.

 

NOTE 6 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

During the years ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 the Company received various unsecured, non-interest bearing, due on demand advances from its CEO Ms. Van Tran, a related party. These advances have been classified as accounts payable, related party on the balance sheet. The Company also leases its office facilities from Ms. Van Tran.

 

NOTE 7 – NOTES PAYABLE

The principal and accrued interest are convertible at a conversion price of $0.30. The principal and interest is due immediately on the event of default or change of control. The holders also received warrants to purchase one share of common stock for every $2 of investment. The Company recorded a $20,981 discount on the notes payable at issuance for the value of the warrants issued. The discount was amortized over the term of the notes payable.  There was no unamortized discount at June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011, respectively. The notes are currently in default.   $       695,815    $            651,629

(1) In connection with the issuance of the notes payable, two stockholders of the Company granted the lender the option to acquire 1,600,000 unrestricted shares of the Company’s common stock from the stockholder’s at a price of $0.40 per share.  The agreement to provide the lender with the option to purchase shares of the two shareholders was presumed to be a separate arrangement between the Company and the lender.  As such, the Company valued the shares as if they had provided the lender an option to acquire these shares.  The aggregate value of the 1,600,000 shares was valued at $129,931 using Black-Scholes option valuation model with the following assumptions: expected life, 1 year, risk free interest rate, 0.10%, volatility, 250%, and dividend rate, 0%.  The value of the option is being considered as a valuation discount and will be amortized over the one year life of the Note.  For the year ended June 30, 2012, the Company recognized $60,189 of expense related to the amortization of this discount and is included in the interest expense in the consolidated statement of operations.  The remaining valuation discount on note payable of $69,742 at June 30, 2012 is reflected as a valuation discount and offset to notes payable in the consolidated balance sheet.

NOTE 8 - STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY (DEFICIT)

Preferred Stock

The articles of incorporation of Veritec authorize 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $1.00 per share. The Board of Directors is authorized to determine any number of series into which shares of preferred stock may be divided and to determine the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions granted to any series of the preferred stock.

In 1999, a new Series H convertible preferred stock was authorized. Each share of Series H convertible preferred stock is convertible into 10 shares of the Veritec’s common stock at the option of the holder. As of June 30, 2012 and 2011, there were 1,000 shares of Series H convertible preferred stock issued and outstanding.

Common Stock

Common stock consists of $.01 par value, 50,000,000 shares authorized, 15,920,088 shares issued and outstanding as of June 30, 2012 and 2011.

In June 2010, by unanimous action of the Board of Directors and majority shareholders’ consent the Company increased its authorized common shares from 30 million to 50 million. 

Shares issued for settlement of accrued expenses

On August 29, 2011, the Company granted 25,000 shares of its common stock to each of its three directors (75,000 shares in the aggregate).

NOTE 9 – STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS

 

Stock Options

The Board of Directors authorized the CEO to issue up to 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock in the form of options or stock bonuses to employees and consultants.

The Company has agreements with certain employees that provide for five years of annual grants of options, on each employment anniversary date, to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock. The option price is determined based on the market price on the date of grant, the options vest one year from the date of grant, and the options expire five years after vesting. The Company granted 0 and 10,000 options under this arrangement in 2012 and 2011, respectively. The Company recognized stock-based compensation expense of $2 and $1,546 during the years ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. As of June 30, 2012, there was no remaining unrecognized compensation costs related to stock options. Based upon the trading value of the common shares, there was no intrinsic value of these options as of June 30, 2012.

The weighted-average grant date fair value for options granted in fiscal 2011 was $0.14. The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model that uses the weighted-average assumptions noted in the following table. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the options is based on the U. S. Treasury yield in effect at the time of the grant. Volatility was based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock. The Company estimated the expected life of options based on historical experience and other averaging methods.

Stock Warrant

The Company issued 275,000 shares of warrants related to notes payable issued in fiscal year 2009. The fair value of the warrants allocated to notes payable was $20,981 or $0.08 per share. The weighted average remaining contractual life of the warrants at June 30, 2012 is 2.5 years. The warrants are fully vested, have a five year term and are exercisable at $2 per share. Based upon the trading value of the common shares, there was no intrinsic value of these warrants as of June 30, 2012.

The weighted-average fair value of warrants granted was estimated at grant date using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions: 2.03% risk-free interest rates, 0% dividend yields, 166.53% volatility, and 3.0 years weighted average expected life.

 

NOTE 10 - INCOME TAXES

 

Deferred income taxes are provided on the liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences, net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. 

Veritec, VTFS and Vcode file a consolidated income tax return in the United States.

It is the Company’s practice to recognize penalties and/or interest related to income tax matters in the interest and penalties expense. There are no interest and penalties recognized in the consolidated statement of operations or accrued on the consolidated balance sheets.

The company is subject to U.S. federal, state, or local income tax examination by tax authorities for all years for which a loss carry forward is utilized in subsequent periods.

A reconciliation between the expected federal income tax rate and the actual tax rate is as follows:

 

   Year Ended
   June 30,
   2012 2011
Federal Statutory tax rate   (34%)  (34%)
State tax, net of federal benefit   (6%)  (6%)
Change in valuation   (40%)  (40%)
Allowance   40%  40%
Effective tax rate   - %   - % 

 

 

 
 

 

The following is a summary of the deferred tax assets (separate disclosure of state deferred taxes has not been presented as such disclosure is not considered to be material):

 

  June 30,  
  2012 2011
Allowance for doubtful accounts $        78,000 $      75,800
Depreciation and amortization 41,300 48,600
Accrued expenses 38,500 68,600
Stock option -- 2,600
Other 14,200 12,100
Net operating loss carryforwards 3,608,300 3,372,000
                Deferred tax asset 3,780,300 3,577,700
Valuation allowance (3,780,300) (3,577,700)
                Net deferred tax asset $                -      $                -     

 

Deferred income tax assets have been reduced by a valuation allowance as it is more likely than not that they will not be realized.

Veritec has net operating loss carryforwards of $9,482,000 for federal purposes and $5,942,000 for state purposes available to offset future taxable income that expire in varying amounts through 2032. The ability to utilize the net operating loss carry forwards could be limited by Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code which limits their use if there is a change in control (generally a greater than 50% change in ownership).

Operating Leases

The Company leases its U.S. office facilities from its CEO/Executive Chair under a lease that expired June 30, 2012, that was automatically extended for a 2-year extension, requiring monthly payments of $4,200 plus common area costs. In January 2009, the Company began leasing a single-family residence in Golden Valley, Minnesota on a month-to-month basis at $1,200 per month from a principal of The Matthews Group for purposes of housing customers, guests and consultants.

Strategic Partnership Agreements

The Company signed a 5-year agreement with Antero Payment Solutions for the use of each others’ technologies among other things and to promote and market each others’ prepaid debit card programs. Under the terms of the agreement the Company received $25,000 as an up front license fee, which the Company has reflected as deferred revenue to be amortized over the term of the agreement. The agreement has a 5-year automatic renewal clause unless terminated by a written consent of both parties. During the year ended June 30, 2012, the Company recognized revenue of $4,083 relating to this agreement. As of June 30, 2012, the balance remaining to be recognized was $20,917.

The Company also signed a 5-year strategic agreement with National Identity Solutions (NIS) for the promotion and marketing of the Company’s prepaid debit card program and NIS’ identity theft solutions. The agreement requires NIS to pay an up front license fee of $250,000 of which $125,000 was paid as of September 30, 2011 with the remaining balance of $125,000 paid as of December 31, 2011.

Processing Center Agreement

VTFS entered into a twelve-month processing center contract beginning February 1, 2009, with monthly commitments of approximately $34,200. On April 1, 2010, the Company signed another twelve-month agreement with monthly commitments of approximately $19,955. This agreement ended in March 2011. Beginning April 19, 2011 the Company entered into a thirteen-month agreement with monthly commitments of approximately $10,434. The term of the agreement is through May 2012 with automatic monthly extensions.

Contingencies

 On February 15, 2011, the Company filed a complaint in U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota against Aurora Financial Systems, Inc. (“Aurora”) for declaratory judgment, tortious interference and other related claims concerning assertions by Aurora regarding United States Patent No. 7,229,006. The complaint related to Aurora’s improper and unlawful assertions of patent against certain software owned by the Company which was lawfully acquired from the software’s owner and inventor before the purported assignment of any patent rights to Aurora. Even though Aurora was aware of the lawful acquisition yet they have made repeated claims about the Company’s purported patent infringement relating to the Company’s use and licensing of the software to various financial institutions with which the Company has sought business relationship. The Company is seeking a declaration of non-infringement based on legal estoppel and implied license as well as a judgment that Aurora has committed tortious interference with prospective economic advantage, false advertising under the Lanham Act and has violated Minnesota’s Deceptive Trade Practices Act. As of June 30, 2011 the case has been in discovery and Aurora has not countersued. On May 4, 2012 the case was dismissed with prejudice with each party bearing its own fees and costs.

The Company entered into consulting and confidentiality agreements with various entities. There was no future commitment under these agreements. The Company also entered into sales and confidentiality agreements with various entities for the marketing of its mobile debit card in return for commissions from sales revenue from its debit card transactions.

ITEM 9A CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Managements’ Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired objectives, and we necessarily are required to apply our judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures.

 

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this report. It was concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were not effective, because certain deficiencies involving internal control over financial reporting constituted material weaknesses, as identified below. The material weaknesses identified did not result in the restatement of any previously reported financial statements or any other related financial disclosures, nor does management believe that it had any effect on the accuracy of our financial statements for the current reporting period.

 

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act. Our internal control over financial reporting is a process, under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of our financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Our internal control over financial reporting include those policies and procedures that:

 

  · pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect our transactions and dispositions of our assets;

 

  · provide reasonable assurance that our transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of our financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and our directors; and

 

  · provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

 

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting using the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Based on its evaluation, our management concluded that there are material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of control deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

 

The material weaknesses relate to limited oversight from our audit committee on the external financial reporting process and internal control over financial reporting and lack of segregation of duties. Under the segregation of duties issues, our Chief Financial Officer was the sole preparer of the financial statements and periodic SEC reports with limited separate independent detailed review to prevent material errors.  Also the Chief Executive Officer has had authority to enter into significant contracts, as well as authority to sign checks, which could result in material fraud.

 

We are undergoing ongoing evaluation and improvements in our internal control over financial reporting.  Regarding our identified weaknesses, we have performed the following remediation efforts:

 

In order to mitigate these material weaknesses to the fullest extent possible, the Company has assigned its audit committee with oversight responsibilities. Financial statements, periodic SEC reports and monthly bank statement and imaged checks are continuously reviewed by the Chief Financial Officer and the Chief Executive Officer.  In addition all significant contracts are now being reviewed and signed off by the Company’s board of directors in conjunction with the Chief Executive Officer.

 

As a result of the material weaknesses described above, management concluded that, as of June 30, 2010, we did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework, issued by COSO.

 

This annual report does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our independent registered public accounting firm, pursuant to provisions of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act that permit us to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

 

This report shall not be deemed to be filed for purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, and is not incorporated by reference into any filing of the Company, whether made before or after the date hereof, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing.

 

Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There have not been any other changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012 to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Percentage of ownership is based on approximately 15,920,088 shares of common stock outstanding as of October 3, 2012.

Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

 

Under the SEC’s rules, the Audit Committee is required to pre-approve the audit and non-audit services performed by the independent registered public accounting firm in order to ensure that they do not impair the auditors’ independence. The Commission’s rules specify the types of non-audit services that an independent auditor may not provide to its audit client and establish the Audit Committee’s responsibility for administration of the engagement of the independent registered public accounting firm.

 

Consistent with the SEC’s rules, the Audit Committee Charter requires that the Audit Committee review and pre-approve all audit services and permitted non-audit services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm to us or any of our subsidiaries. The Audit Committee may delegate pre-approval authority to a member of the Audit Committee and if it does, the decisions of that member must be presented to the full Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting. Accordingly, all audit services and non-audit services described in this Item 14 were pre-approved by the Audit Committee.

 

There were no hours expended on the principal accountant’s engagement to audit the registrant’s financial statements for the most recent fiscal year that were attributed to work performed by persons other than the principal accountant’s full-time, permanent employees.
