ITEM 1 BUSINESS

 

Summary

 

The Company was 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 prepaid debit card solutions. Subsequent to June 30, 2015, the Company sold its barcode technology and focused its efforts solely on its mobile banking technology.

 

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 software banking technology will hereafter be referred to as its “Mobile Banking Technology”. The Mobile Banking Technology is used to offer Prepaid Card Programs to sponsor banks and approved applicants/cardholders. These programs may also be referred to as the MTC™ card or the Blinx ON-OFF™ Prepaid Card programs.

 

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.

 3 
 

 

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.

 

The program was implemented at First California Bank (FCB) in June, 2011. The blinx On-Off brand was introduced as part of the implementation, at FCB. Going forward, accounts would be issued as blinx ON-OFF™ branded cards under First California Bank. In 2013 First California Bank was acquired by Pacific Western Bank (PWB) in its entirety. PWB decided to exit the Prepaid Card sponsorship business and notified all of its Prepaid Card Program Managers, including (Veritec) that their bank sponsorship agreements were terminated and the programs would be closed by the end of 2013. PWB provided Veritec several references to banks that were interested in sponsoring Prepaid Card programs such as Veritec’s blinx ON-OFF™ program including Central Bank of Kansas City (CBKC). Veritec entered into discussions with CBKC about sponsoring the Veritec program and a sponsorship agreement was reached between Veritec and CBKC in October 2013. The Visa and First Data Payment Networks approved the bank sponsorship change in November, 2013. Unexpected regulatory delays to the transfer process caused PWB to extend the program closure date to February 28, 2014. The transfer and transition of the blinx ON-OFF™ Prepaid Card program from PWB to CBKC was completed on February 5, 2014. The Veritec blinx ON-OFF™ Prepaid Card Program became live at CBKC on that date.

 

The Veritec Prepaid Card Program provides full services to the sponsor bank. These services include program management, promotion and marketing, application processing, account activation, compliance management, fraud monitoring, accounts reconciliation and dispute resolution. Veritec provides cardholders with automated and live agent customer service, full disclosures, an online account management portal, monthly statements, convenient deposit options, global access to PIN and Signature transactions, and, ATM withdrawals through the Visa and First Data/Star Networks.

 

On September 30, 2014, Veritec ("Buyer"), and Tangible Payments LLC ("Seller"), a Maryland Limited Liability Company, entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the "Asset Purchase Agreement") pursuant to which Veritec acquired certain assets and liabilities of the Tangible Payments LLC. Tangible Payments is a combined-solution software package that incorporates features the market is currently purchasing as an individual-solutions product that requires integrated services at an additional cost. With a one-stop package, Tangible’s Payments solution eliminates costs and reduces deployment time.

On September 30, 2015, the Company sold all of its assets of its Barcode Technology to The Matthews Group, a related party, which was comprised solely of its intellectual property. The sale allows the Company to focus its efforts solely on its growing Mobile Banking Technology.

 

Our Products and Solutions

 

I.Barcode 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 mostly in the liquid crystal display (LCD) markets. 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 September 30, 2015, the Company sold all of its assets of its Barcode Technology, which was comprised solely of its intellectual property. The sale allows the Company to focus its efforts solely on its growing Mobile Banking Technology.

 

II.Mobile Banking Technology

 

The Company believes that its Mobile Banking Technology platform and its blinx On-Off™ debit card Program is a significant advance in mobile banking and close loop/open loop debit 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 under the sponsorship of Security First Bank. 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)blinx ON-OFF Debit Card - Visa® Prepaid Card Programs

 

In June, 2011 Veritec began marketing the blinx ON-OFF™ branded card under the sponsorship of First California Bank, The blinx ON-OFF™ card is based on the Mobile Banking Technology platform and offers the same features and functions as the MTC™ branded card but with different pricing for First California Bank sponsored cards.

 

(c)Custom Branded Debit Card Programs

 

In addition to the MTC™ and blinx ON-OFF™ 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 member card programs to be processed and settled member rewards to its members 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 Seven United States and Eight foreign patents. In addition, we have three U.S. and Eight 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.

 

On September 30, 2015, the Company sold all of its existing intellectual property relating to its Barcode Technology to The Matthews Group, a related party (see Note 12 to the attached Consolidated Financial Statements).

 

Major Customers

 

The Company’s has two customers in fiscal 2015 that represented an aggregate of 23% of our revenue, and three customers in 2014 that represented 55% of our revenue. During fiscal 2015 and 2014, 45% and 70% respectively, of our revenue was from customers outside the United States.

 

Engineering, Research and Development

 

As of June 30, 2015, the Company employed two engineers and engaged five engineering independent contractors. During the fiscal year that ended June 30, 2015, we concentrated on several projects which included the development of our Mobile debit and member rewards banking platform, and the continued development and support of the liquid crystal display (LCD) business the VeriSuite™ Bio-ID software platform, the PhoneCodes™ software platform. All of these projects are currently in various stages of development or have been completed.

Competition

 

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 and non-branded prepaid card programs, (2) being a third party servicer (e.g., back end processor) for banks issuing Visa branded and non-branded prepaid card programs, (3) being the developer, marketer and licensor of the mobile banking platform on which Visa branded and non-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, 2015, the Company employed three employee and nine independent contractor consultants.

 

Financial Information about Geographic Areas

 

For the fiscal year ended, June 30, 2015, United States customers accounted for 55% (44% in fiscal 2014) of the Company’s total revenue. The remaining revenue of 45% (56% in fiscal 2014) was from foreign customers. Our foreign revenues have been concentrated primarily 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, 2015, and was automatically extended for two one-year terms.

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.

 

In December, 2013, the Company filed a complaint in Eighth Judicial District Court of Clark County, Nevada against Pacific Stock Transfer Company (“Pacific”). Veritec utilized the service of Pacific to administer its securities transfer for a period of time, but because we were dissatisfied with Pacific’s performance Veritec sent Pacific a letter terminating its services as transfer agent. Pacific refused to turn over Veritec’s documents and filed a required termination notice, demanding a termination fee” of $7,500. Believing it was being extorted and its securities documents held hostage, Veritec filed a lawsuit seeking injunctive relief. On September 15, 2014, this case was settled between both parties to split the $11,260 deposited with the Court.

 

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

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

 

Results of Operations – June 30, 2015 compared to June 30, 2014

 

We had a net loss of $907,474 in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015 compared to net income of $302,053 in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014.

 

License and other revenue

 

Details of revenues are as follows:

 

   Year Ended June 30,  Increase (Decrease)
   2015  2014  $  %
             
Barcode Technology  $507,960   $1,623,109   $(1,115,149)   (68.7)
Mobile Banking Technology   437,847    12,254    425,593    3,473.1 
                     
Total Revenues  $945,807   $1,635,363   $(689,556)   (42.2)

 

Barcode Technology 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 and mobile banking systems.

 

The decrease in Barcode Technology revenues was mainly attributable to the decreased 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 in Taiwan, Japan, Germany, and increase in Korea and China.

Mobile Banking Technology revenues includes products such as the Company’s Blinx On-Off™ prepaid toggle Card and its Open Loop/Close Loop System and Bio ID Card Platform. Mobile Banking Technology uses web-based mobile technology to offer financial cardholders the very best technology in conducting secure financial transactions in real time, protecting personal identity, and financial account security. The increase in Mobile Banking Technology revenues is due to its efforts to grow this business line which has led to several recent multiyear agreements to provide services and support.

 

On September 30, 2015, the Company and The Matthews Group, a related party, entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement pursuant to which the Company sold the intellectual property assets relating to its Barcode Technology. The sale allows the Company to focus its efforts solely on growing its Mobile Banking Technology business.

Cost of Sales

 

Cost of sales for the year ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, totaled $329,703 and $345,107, respectively. The slight decrease in expense was the result of decreased labor costs associated with projects implemented during the period as compared to the same period of the prior year. As a percentage of revenue, for the year ended June 30, 2015, cost of sales was 34.9% compared to 21.1% for the year ended June 30, 2014.

 

Operating Expenses

 

General and administrative expenses for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015 were $841,816, compared to $578,947 for fiscal year ended June 30, 2014, an increase of $262,869. The increase was the result of $134,215 in operating expenses incurred after acquiring Tangible Payments, LLC (see Note 5 of the attached Consolidated Financial Statements). The remaining increase in expenses of $128,654 was primarily from increased salaries, benefits and professional fees.

 

Sales and marketing expense for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015 was $83,863 compared to $31,590 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014, an increase of $52,273. The increase was a result of the Company’s increased sales and marketing efforts to support its mobile banking technology and to open new markets in Asia.

 

Research and development expense for the year ended June 30, 2015 totaled $98,412 compared to $188,810 for the year ended June 30, 2014, a decrease of $90,398. The decrease in expense was the result of the Company’s completion of certain research and development projects associated with its Mobile Banking Technology as compared to the same period of the prior year.

 

Other Expenses, net

 

Other expense, net for year ended June 30, 2015 totaled $499,487 compared to $188,856 for the year ended June 30, 2014, an increase of $310,631. The increase was primarily a result of $297,875 of non-cash expense relating to the beneficial conversion feature of convertible notes payables issued during fiscal year 2015. A beneficial conversion feature is realized when the conversion price of a convertible notes payable is below the closing market price on the date of issuance. The remaining increase of $12,767 was additional interest expense associated with our overall increased debt balances.

 

Capital Expenditures and Commitments

 

We made no capital purchases in fiscal 2015. In 2014, we made capital expenditures of $1,234.

 

Liquidity

 

Our cash and cash equivalents balance at June 30, 2015 increased to $52,762 as compared to $24,665 at June 30, 2014. The increase was the result of $192,903 in cash used in operating activities offset by $221,000 provided by financing activities. Net cash used in operations during 2015 was $192,903 compared with $291,760 provided by operations during the same period in 2014. Cash used in operations during 2015 was primarily due to the net loss in the period. Net cash used in investing activities was $0 during 2015 compared with $1,234 during 2014, which was the result of the purchase of property and equipment. Net cash provided by financing activities of $221,000 during 2015 was primarily due to proceeds received from notes payable of $365,000 offset by payments of $144,000 on notes payable. During the same period in 2014, net cash used in financing activities of $341,779 was from proceeds received from notes payable of $68,500 offset by payments of $410,279 on notes payable.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company experienced a loss of $907,474 during the year ended June 30, 2015, and at June 30, 2015, the Company had a working capital deficit of $5,159,420 and a stockholders’ deficiency of $5,106,433. The Company is currently in default of $3,562,707 of notes payable and is also delinquent in payment of certain amounts due of $453,277 for payroll taxes and accrued interest and penalties as of June 30, 2015. The Company believes its cash and forecasted cash flow from operations will not be sufficient to continue operations through fiscal 2016 without continued external investment. The Company believes it will require additional funds to continue its operations through fiscal 2016 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, 2015.

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 Lawrence J. Johanns, a significant Company stockholder.

 

In September 2015, The Matthews Group, a related party and the Company’s largest debt holder, elected to convert $1.8 million of its convertible notes payable balance, at a conversion price of $0.08 per share of common stock, into 22.2 million shares of the Company’s common stock.

 

In September 2015, the Company sold its Barcode Technology assets to The Matthews Group, a related party, for $670,000. The proceeds from the sale were used to reduce the Company’s notes payable balance to The Matthews Group.

 

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, which expired on June 30, 2015, and was automatically extended until June 30, 2017. 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.

 

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 are 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 relatively 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 guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board. Revenues for the Company are classified into barcode technology revenue and mobile banking technology revenue.

 

Revenues from licenses and identification cards are recognized when the product is shipped, the Company no longer has any service or other continuing obligations, and collection is reasonably assured. The process typically begins with a customer purchase order detailing its 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 other 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 other products 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 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.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

 

The Board of Directors and Stockholders

Veritec, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Golden Valley, Minnesota

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Veritec, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2015 and 2014, and the related consolidated statements of operations, 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 audit 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 audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit 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, 2015 and 2014, 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, 2015. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans concerning these matters 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, 2015 AND 2014

 

NOTE 1 - OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The Company

 

Veritec, Inc. (Veritec) was formed in the State of Nevada on September 8, 1982. Veritec’s wholly owned subsidiaries include, Vcode Holdings, Inc. (Vcode®), and Veritec Financial Systems, Inc. (VTFS) (collectively the “Company”).

 

Nature of Business

 

The Company as 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. Subsequent to June 30, 2015, the Company began to focus exclusively on mobile banking technology, and sold its barcode technology.

 

Barcode 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 mostly in the liquid crystal display (LCD) markets. 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 September 30, 2015, the Company sold all of its assets of its Barcode Technology, which was comprised solely of its intellectual property. The sale allows the Company to focus its efforts solely on its growing Mobile Banking Technology (See Note 12).

 

Mobile Banking Solutions

 

In 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 processes the Company’s Visa branded card program on behalf of the bank. First California Bank was sold to Pacific Western Bank and June 2013 Pacific Western Bank closed its entire debit card division and transferred its contract with VTFS to Central Bank of Kansas City Bank. On February 5th, 2014 the entire relationship between Veritec and Pacific Western Bank ended and the new relationship with Central Bank of Kansas City began.

 

On September 30, 2014, Veritec ("Buyer"), and Tangible Payments LLC ("Seller"), a Maryland Limited Liability Company, entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the "Asset Purchase Agreement") pursuant to which Veritec acquired certain assets and liabilities of the Tangible Payments LLC (See Note 5).

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 the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. 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 requires 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 at both June 30, 2015 and 2014.

 

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, 2015 or 2014.

 

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 balances in excess of the guarantee during the year ended June 30, 2015.

 

Major Customers:

 

Customers in excess of 10% of total revenues were as follows:

 

   Years Ended June 30,
   2015  2014
       
Customer A   --%    31%
Customer B   12%   16%
Customer C   11%   8%
    23%   55%

 19 
 

 

As of June 30, 2015, the Company had approximately $6,025 (16%), $5,650 (15%), and $4,575 (12%) of accounts receivable due from its major customers. As of June 30, 2014, the Company had approximately $86,361 (69%) and $23,250 (19%), respectively, of accounts receivable due from its major customers.

 

Foreign Revenues

 

Foreign revenues accounted for 45% (9% Korea, 19% Taiwan, and 17% others) of the Company’s total revenues in fiscal 2015 and 70% (54% Korea, 10% Taiwan, and 6% others) in fiscal 2014.

 

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:

 

Level 1- Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2- Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly.

Level 3- 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, 2015 or 2014.

 

For certain financial instruments, the carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and current liabilities, including notes payable and convertible notes, each qualify as financial instruments and are a reasonable estimate of their fair values because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and their current market rates of interest.

 

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 barcode technology revenue and mobile banking technology revenue.

 

Revenues from licenses and identification cards are recognized when the product is shipped, the Company no longer has any service or other continuing obligations, and collection is reasonably assured. The process typically begins with a customer purchase order detailing its 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 other 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 other products 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 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, 2015 and 2014, shipping and handling fees billed to customers of $997 and $2,125, respectively were included in revenues and shipping and handling costs of $997 and $2,032, 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 are 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 year ended June 30, 2015 the calculations of basic and diluted loss per share are the same because potential dilutive securities would have an anti-dilutive effect. For the year ended June 30, 2014 the calculation of diluted earnings per share included stock options and warrants, calculated under the treasury stock method, and excluded preferred stock and convertible notes payable since the effect was antidilutive.

 

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted income per common share.

   June 30,
   2015  2014
       
Net Income (Loss)  $(907,475)  $302,053 
           
Weighted average common shares – basic   16,351,956    15,920,088 
Dilutive effect of outstanding stock options   —      3,056,500 
Weighted average shares outstanding – diluted   16,351,956    18,976,588 
           

As of June 30, 2015 and 2014, we excluded the outstanding securities summarized below, which entitle the holders thereof to acquire shares of common stock, from our calculation of earnings per share, as their effect would have been anti-dilutive

 

   June 30,
   2015  2014
       
Series H Preferred Stock  $10,000   $10,000 
Convertible Notes Payable   19,563,168    6,347,046 
Options   2,520,000    —   
Total   22,093,168    6,357,046 

 

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.

 

Intangible Assets

 

The Company accounts for intangible assets in accordance with the authoritative guidance issued by the ASC Topic 350 – Goodwill and Other. Intangibles are valued at their fair market value and are amortized taking into account the character of the acquired intangible asset and the expected period of benefit. The Company evaluates intangible assets for impairment, at a minimum, on an annual basis and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable from its estimated undiscounted future cash flows. Recoverability of intangible assets is measured by comparing their net book value to the related projected undiscounted cash flows from these assets, considering a number of factors, including past operating results, budgets, economic projections, market trends and product development cycles. If the net book value of the asset exceeds the related undiscounted cash flows, the asset is considered impaired, and a second test is performed to measure the amount of impairment loss. 

 21 
 

 

At June 30, 2015, the intangibles assets of $144,375 relates to our acquisition of Tangible Payments LLC during fiscal year 2015 (see Note 5). Our first impairment test will be conducted in fiscal year 2016, however management believes there were no indications of impairment based on management’s assessment of these assets at June 30, 2015. Factors we consider important that could trigger an impairment review include significant underperformance relative to historical or projected future operating results, significant changes in the manner of the use of our assets or the strategy for our overall business, and significant negative industry or economic trends. If current economic conditions worsen causing decreased revenues and increased costs, we may have to record an impairment to our goodwill and intangible assets.

 

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 Standards

 

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASU 2014-09 is a comprehensive revenue recognition standard that will supersede nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under current U.S. GAAP and replace it with a principle based approach for determining revenue recognition. ASU 2014-09 will require that companies recognize revenue based on the value of transferred goods or services as they occur in the contract. The ASU also will require additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. ASU 2014-09 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted only in annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods therein. Entities will be able to transition to the standard either retrospectively or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of ASU 2014-09 on the Company’s financial statements and disclosures.

 

In June 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-12, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718). The pronouncement was issued to clarify the accounting for share-based payments when the terms of an award provide that a performance target could be achieved after the requisite service period. The pronouncement is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The adoption of ASU 2014-12 is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

 

In August 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-15, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern, which provides guidance on determining when and how to disclose going-concern uncertainties in the financial statements. ASU 2014-15 requires management to perform interim and annual assessments of an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date the financial statements are issued. An entity must provide certain disclosures if conditions or events raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. ASU 2014-15 is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and interim periods thereafter, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2014-15 on the Company’s financial statements and disclosures.

 

In November 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-16 (ASU 2014-16), Determining Whether the Host Contract in a Hybrid Financial Instrument Issued in the Form of a Share Is More Akin to Debt or to Equity. The amendments in this ASU do not change the current criteria in U.S. GAAP for determining when separation of certain embedded derivative features in a hybrid financial instrument is required. The amendments clarify that an entity should consider all relevant terms and features, including the embedded derivative feature being evaluated for bifurcation, in evaluating the nature of the host contract. The ASU applies to all entities that are issuers of, or investors in, hybrid financial instruments that are issued in the form of a share and is effective for public business entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of 2014-16 on the Company’s financial statements and disclosures.

 22 
 

 

In July 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2015-11, Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory, which requires that inventory within the scope of ASU 2015-11 be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Inventory measured using last-in, first-out (LIFO) and the retail inventory method are not impacted by the new guidance. ASU 2015-11 applies to all other inventory, which includes inventory that is measured using first-in, first-out (FIFO) or average cost. An entity should measure inventory within the scope of ASU 2015-11 at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. ASU 2015-11 is effective for public business entities in fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2015-11 on the Company’s financial statements and disclosures.

 

Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB, including its Emerging Issues Task Force, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the Securities and Exchange Commission did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company's present or future consolidated financial statements. 

 

NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company experienced a loss of $907,474 during the year ended June 30, 2015, and at June 30, 2015, the Company had a working capital deficit of $5,159,420 and a stockholders’ deficiency of $5,106,433. The Company is in default of $3,562,707 of its note payable obligations and is also delinquent in payment of certain amounts due of $453,277 for payroll taxes and accrued interest and penalties as of June 30, 2015. These and other factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.  

 

The Company believes it will require additional funds to continue its operations through fiscal 2016 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 Lawrence J. Johanns, a significant stockholder of the Company, for funding.

 

NOTE 3 – RESTRICTED CASH

 

The Company entered into Store Value Prepaid Card Sponsorship Agreements (the “Agreement”) with certain banks whereas the Company markets and sells store value prepaid card programs (the “Programs”). The Programs are marketed and managed daily at the direction of the Bank, for which the Company receives a transaction fee. In connection with the agreements the Company is required to establish a Reserve Account controlled by the Bank. At June 30, 2015 and 2014, the restricted cash totaled $63,029 and $51,957, respectively. Since this amount is restricted for the purposes related to the Programs, it is classified as restricted cash on the consolidated balance sheets.

NOTE 5 – ACQUISITION

 

On September 30, 2014, the Company and Tangible Payments LLC, a Maryland Limited Liability Company, entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement pursuant to which the Company acquired certain assets and liabilities of the Tangible Payments LLC. Tangible Payments LLC is a combined-solution software package that incorporates features the market is currently purchasing as an individual-solutions product that requires integrated services at an additional cost. With a one-stop package, Tangible’s Payments LLC solution eliminates costs and reduces deployment time.

 

The purchase price for the acquisition was comprised of 250,000 shares of restricted common stock of Veritec valued at $37,500, issued on closing, and an earnout payment of $155,000 for an aggregate purchase price of $192,500. The earnout payment is payable on a monthly basis from the net profits derived from the acquired assets commencing three months after the closing. The earnout payment is accelerated and the balance of the earnout payment shall be due in full at such time as Veritec receives equity investments aggregating $1.3 million.

 

The Company assigned $192,500 of the purchase price to contract commitments which will be amortized over a three year period. During the twelve months ended June 30, 2015, the Company recorded $48,125 of amortization expense related to this intangible which is included in general and administrative expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

Total estimated amortization expense with respect to intangible assets for 2016 through 2018 is as follows:

 

Years Ending June 30,

  Amount
 2016   $64,167 
 2017    64,167

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 2,500,000 options under this arrangement during fiscal year 2013. There were no options granted in 2015 and 2014 under this agreement. The Company recognized no stock-based compensation expense related to stock options during the years ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. As of June 30, 2015, 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, 2015.

 27 
 

 

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.

                 

Additional information regarding options outstanding as of June 30, 2015 is as follows:

 

Options Outstanding at June 30, 2015  Options Exercisable at June 30, 2015

NOTE 10 - INCOME TAXES

 

Veritec files a consolidated income tax return in the United States. For the year ended June 30, 2015, our net loss was $907,475 and there was no provision for income taxes. We made no provision for income taxes due to our utilization of federal net operating loss carry forwards to offset both regular taxable income and alternative minimum taxable income. For the year ended June 30, 2014, net income was $302,053 and no income tax provision was recorded.

 

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.

 28 
 

 

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

 

   Year Ended June 30,
   2015  2014
       
Federal statutory tax rate   35%   35%
State tax, net of federal benefit   6%   6%
Total tax rate   40%   40%
Allowance   (40)%   (40)%
Effective tax rate   -%   -%

 

 

The following is a summary of the deferred tax assets:

 

   June 30,
   2015  2014
       
Net operating loss carryforwards  $4,224,000    4,021,600 
Valuation allowance   (4,224,000)   (4,021,600)
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 approximately $10 million for federal purposes available to offset future taxable income that expire in varying amounts through 2034. 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).

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 lack of proper financial statement closing procedures, 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.

 

 31 
 

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, 2015, 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, 2015 to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Shares of common stock subject to options or warrants currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of December 15, 2015 are deemed outstanding for computing the percentage ownership of the stockholder holding the options or warrants but are not deemed outstanding for computing the percentage ownership of any other stockholder. Unless otherwise indicated in the footnotes to this table, we believe stockholders named in the table have sole voting and sole investment power with respect to the shares set forth opposite such stockholder’s name. Percentage of ownership is based on approximately 39,538,007 shares of common stock outstanding as of December 15, 2015.

 

The following table reflects, as of the date of this Annual Report, the beneficial common stock ownership of: (a) each of our directors, (b) each of our current named executive officers, (c) each person known by us to be a beneficial holder of 5% or more of our common stock, and (d) all of our executive officers and directors as a group.

 

Except as otherwise indicated below, the persons named in the table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of common stock held by them. Unless otherwise indicated, the principal address of each listed executive officer and director is 2445 Winnetka Avenue North, Golden Valley, MN 55427.

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.

 37 
 

 

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.
