PART I

 

ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

Summary

 

The Company is currently solely engaged in the development, marketing, sales and licensing of products and rendering of professional services related to its mobile banking prepaid debit card solutions. The Company was also previously engaged in its proprietary two-dimensional matrix symbology technology (also commonly referred to as “two-dimensional barcodes”, “2D barcodes”, or “Barcode Technology”) which it sold on September 30, 2015 to The Matthews Group, a related party. The Company subsequently entered into a management services agreement with The Matthews Group to manage all facets of The Matthews Group’s Barcode Technology operations (see Note 8 of the accompanying consolidated financial statements).

 

In this Form 10-K, 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

 

As a Cardholder Independent Sales Organization, Veritec is able to promote and sell Visa-branded card programs. As a Third-Party Servicer, Veritec provides back-end cardholder transaction processing services for Visa-branded card programs on behalf of its sponsoring bank. Veritec 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. Veritec has had agreements with various banks in the past andis currently seeking a bank to sponsor its Prepaid Card programs.

 

 

Our Products and Solutions

 

The Company believes that its Mobile Banking Technology platform and its blinx On-Off™ debit card and blinxPay™ mobile wallet programs are 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 fiscal year 2009, the Company announced the release of its Mobile Toggle Card (MTC™) Program on the Company’s mobile banking software platform under a sponsoring 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 fiscal year 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 fiscal year 2011, Veritec began marketing the blinx ON-OFF™ branded card under a bank sponsorship. 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 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.

 

(d) blinxPay™ Mobile Wallet App

 

The Company released its blinxPay™ mobile wallet application during fiscal year 2016. blinxPay™ is a secure payment processing system and mobile app that enables customers to make purchases at participating merchants using funds loaded into their blinxPay™ virtual account. The blinxPay™ mobile app is available for download for free at both Google Pay and Apple iTunes stores.

 

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 on its belief that 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 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 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 trademark and service mark, as well as serving as the Company’s trade name.

 

Major Customers

 

During the year ended June 30, 2020, and 2019, the Company had one customer, a related party that represented 77% and 61% of our revenues, respectively. No other customer represented more than 10% of our revenues.

 

Engineering, Research and Development

 

During the fiscal year 2020, 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, 2020, the Company employed two employees and nine independent contractor consultants.

 

Financial Information about Geographic Areas

 

For the years ended June 30, 2020, and 2019, United States customers accounted for 100% of the Company’s total revenue.

None.

 

ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY

 

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 is currently on a month-to-month term and requires monthly payments of $4,000. 

 

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

On or about November 13, 2017, a noteholder (“Plaintiff”) filed a lawsuit in district court in Hennepin County, Minnesota asserting that the Company breached the terms of a promissory note. Plaintiff sought repayment on the principal of the promissory note, in the amount of $100,000, $10,000 of which Plaintiff contend Veritec previously paid, plus interest, collection costs and attorney’s fees. As of May 15, 2018, the date of the last communication on the amount of recovery from Plaintiff, the Plaintiff sought an award or settlement in the amount of $163,000. As of June 30, 2019, the Company had recorded a promissory note payable of $163,000 related to this proceeding. On July 10, 2019, the Company and Plaintiff entered into a Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release, whereas, both the Company and the Plaintiff agreed to generally discharge and forever release each other from future claims, to pay their own legal fees, and the promissory note payable to the Plaintiff was discharged. During the twelve months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recorded a gain on settlement and extinguishment of the promissory note payable of $167,000.

 

On September 21, 2016, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with an individual who was a former officer of the Company.  The individual in prior years was also issued 500,000 shares of common stock for services.  The Company alleged that the individual used the Company's intellectual property without approval.   Under the terms of the settlement agreement, the individual agreed to relinquish a convertible note payable and unpaid interest aggregating $365,000 and return 500,000 shares of common stock previously issued to him.  In turn, the Company agreed to release and discharge the individual against all claims arising on or prior to the date of the settlement agreement.  As of June 30, 2020, the 500,000 shares have not been relinquished. When the Company receives the shares, it will record a cancellation of shares.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

 

The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this report. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. See “Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.” Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors discussed elsewhere in this report.

 

The following discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations is based on the preparation of our financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. You should read this discussion and analysis together with such financial statements and the related notes thereto.

 

COVID-19 Considerations

 

The Company is subject to risks and uncertainties as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s business is highly uncertain and difficult to predict, as the responses that the Company, other businesses and governments are taking continue to evolve. Furthermore, capital markets and economies worldwide have also been negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, and it is possible that the COVID-19 pandemic could cause a local, national and/or global economic recession. Policymakers around the globe have responded with fiscal policy actions to support the economy as a whole, but it is presently unknown whether and to what extent further fiscal actions will continue. The magnitude and overall effectiveness of these actions remain uncertain.

 

The Company believes that its Mobile Banking revenues have been negatively affected due to the reduction in customer spending, which negatively impacts the amount of fees earned by the Company from its customers. The Company is also currently experiencing a decline in revenues earned under the management services agreement with The Matthews Group, as The Matthews Group’s customer orders have been negatively impacted by the effects of COVID-19. The severity of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s business will continue to depend on a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the duration and severity of the pandemic and the extent and severity of the impact on the Company’s customers, service providers and suppliers, all of which are uncertain and cannot be predicted. As of the date of issuance of the Company’s financial statements, the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic may in the future materially impact the Company’s financial condition, liquidity or results of operations is uncertain.

 

Results of Operations – June 30, 2020 compared to June 30, 2019

 

Revenues

 

Details of revenues are as follows:

 

   Year Ended June 30,  Increase (Decrease)
   2020  2019  $  %
Mobile banking technology  $100,000   $120,000   $(20,000)   (16.7)
Other revenue, management fee - related party   338,000    187,000    151,000    80.7 
Total Revenues  $438,000   $307,000   $131,000    42.7

  Mobile banking technology

 

Mobile Banking Technology revenues include 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. Mobile Banking Technology revenues for the year ended June 30, 2020, and 2019 were $100,000 and $120,000, respectively. The decrease in Mobile Banking Technology revenues was due to both the conclusion of certain long term contracts during the prior year and the Company not having a bank to sponsor its mobile banking solutions since fiscal year 2016 (see Note 1 to Consolidated Financial Statements).

 

  Other revenue, management fee - related party

 

On December 31, 2015, the Company sold all of its assets of its Barcode Technology, which was comprised solely of its intellectual property, to The Matthews Group, a related party (see Note 8 to the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements). The Company subsequently entered into a management services agreement with The Matthews Group to manage all facets of the barcode technology operations through June 30, 2021. The Company earns a fee of 35% of all revenues billed up to June 30, 2021, and recognizes management fee revenue as services are performed.  For the years ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, revenue earned from the management services agreement was $338,000 and $187,000, respectively.

 

Cost of Sales

 

Cost of sales for the year ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 totaled $210,000 and $230,000, respectively. The decrease in cost of sales was primarily from expense reductions, including bank sponsor fees, associated with our decline in Mobile Banking Technology revenues discussed above, as compared to the same period of the prior year.

 

Operating Expenses

 

General and administrative expenses for the year ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 totaled $630,000 and $605,000, respectively. The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to increased legal and professional fees as compared to the same period of the prior year.

 

Research and development expenses for the year ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 totaled $0 and $19,000, respectively. The decrease in expenses was primarily related to decreased software development related activities as compared to the same period of the prior year.

  

Other Income (Expenses)

 

On July 10, 2019, the Company and Plaintiffs entered into a Confidential Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release, whereas, both the Company and the Plaintiffs agreed to generally discharge and forever release each other from future claims, to pay their own legal fees, and the promissory note payable to the Plaintiffs was discharged (see Note 4 to the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements). During the twelve months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recorded a gain on extinguishment of convertible note payable of $167,000.

 

Interest expense for the twelve months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, was $341,000 and $302,000, respectively. The increase was due to the increase in our notes payable balance.

Net Loss

 

We had a net loss of $576,000 in the year ended June 30, 2020, compared to a net loss of $849,000 in the year ended June 30, 2019.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Our cash balance on June 30, 2020 increased to $228,000 as compared to $91,000 on June 30, 2019. The increase was the result of $380,000 in cash used in operating activities offset by $517,000 in cash provided by financing activities. Net cash used in operations during the period ended June 30, 2020, was $380,000, compared with $450,000 of net cash used in operations during the same period of the prior year. Cash used in operations during the period ended June 30, 2020, was primarily from our net loss of $576,000, and the gain on settlement and extinguishment of a promissory note payable of $167,000, and offset by and increase in interest accrued on notes payable of $341,000, stock-based compensation expense of $16,000, common stock issued for services of $10,000, and general changes to our working capital accounts of $2,000. Net cash provided by financing activities of $517,000 during the period ended June 30, 2020, was due to proceeds received from notes payable. During the same period of the prior year, net cash provided by financing activities of $402,000 was from proceeds received from notes payable.

 

The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. During the year ended June 30, 2020, the Company incurred a loss of $576,000 and used cash in operating activities of $380,000, and at June 30, 2020, the Company had a stockholders’ deficiency of $5,849,000. In addition, as of June 30, 2020, the Company is delinquent in payment of $682,000 of its notes payable. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date that the financial statements are issued. In addition, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, in its report on our June 30, 2020 financial statements, has raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

The Company believes its cash and forecasted cash flow from operations will not be sufficient to continue operations through fiscal 2021 without continued external investment. The Company believes it will require additional funds to continue its operations through fiscal 2021 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 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.

 

Convertible notes and notes payable

 

Notes payable includes principal and accrued interest and consists of the following at June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019:

 

   June 30,
2020
  June 30,
2019
(a) Unsecured convertible notes ($18,000 and $185,000 in default)  $59,000   $224,000 
(b) Notes payable (in default)   423,000    405,000

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates, including those related to impairment of long-lived assets, including finite lived intangible assets, accrued liabilities, fair value of warrant derivatives and certain expenses. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

 

Our significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 1 to our financial statements. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, and the related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company periodically issues stock-based compensation to officers, directors, contractors and consultants for services rendered. Such issuances vest and expire according to terms established at the issuance date.

 

Stock-based payments to officers, directors, employees, and for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees, which include grants of employee stock options, are recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values in accordance with Topic 718. Stock option grants, which are generally time vested, will be measured at the grant date fair value and charged to operations on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. The fair value of stock options is determined utilizing the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, which is affected by several variables, including the risk-free interest rate, the expected dividend yield, the expected life of the equity award, the exercise price of the stock option as compared to the fair market value of the common stock on the grant date and the estimated volatility of the common stock over the term of the equity award.

Revenue Recognition

 

Revenues for the Company are classified into mobile banking technology and management fee revenue.

 

a. Mobile Banking Revenue

 

The Company, as a merchant payment processor and a distributor, recognizes revenue from transaction fees charged to 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.

 

Prior to the year ended June 30, 2016, the Company entered into certain long term agreements to provide application development and support. Some customers paid the agreement in full at signing and the Company recorded the receipt of payment as deferred revenue. The Company records revenue relating to these agreements on a pro-rata basis over the term of the agreement and reduces its deferred revenue balance accordingly.

  

b. Other revenue, management fee - related party

 

On September 30, 2015, the Company sold all of its assets of its Barcode Technology comprised solely of its intellectual property to The Matthews Group and entered into a management services agreement with The Matthews Group to manage all facets of the barcode technology operations, on behalf of The Matthews Group, through June 30, 2021. The Company earned a fee of 35% of all revenues billed up to June 30, 2021.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Veritec, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2020 and 2019, the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ deficiency, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2020 and 2019, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Going Concern

 

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, 2020. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regards to these matters are also described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

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 are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. 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, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting 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.

 

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

VERITEC, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE FISCAL YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 2020 AND 2019

 

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 is primarily engaged in the development, sales, and licensing of products and providing services related to its mobile banking solutions.

 

As a Cardholder Independent Sales Organization, Veritec is able to promote and sell Visa-branded card programs. As a Third-Party Servicer, Veritec provides back-end cardholder transaction processing services for Visa-branded card programs on behalf of its sponsoring bank. Veritec 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. Veritec has had agreements with various banks in the past and is currently seeking a bank to sponsor its Prepaid Card programs.

 

On December 31, 2015, the Company sold all of its assets of its barcode technology, which was comprised solely of its intellectual property, to The Matthews Group, a related party (see Note 8). The Company subsequently entered into a management services agreement with The Matthews Group to manage all facets of the barcode technology operations through June 30, 2021. The Company earns a fee of 35% of all revenues billed up to June 30, 2021, and recognizes management fee revenue as services are performed. 

 

COVID-19 Considerations

 

The Company is subject to risks and uncertainties as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s business is highly uncertain and difficult to predict, as the responses that the Company, other businesses and governments are taking continue to evolve. Furthermore, capital markets and economies worldwide have also been negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, and it is possible that the COVID-19 pandemic could cause a local, national and/or global economic recession. Policymakers around the globe have responded with fiscal policy actions to support the economy as a whole, but it is presently unknown whether and to what extent further fiscal actions will continue. The magnitude and overall effectiveness of these actions remain uncertain.

 

The Company believes that its Mobile Banking revenues have been negatively affected due to the reduction in customer spending, which negatively impacts the amount of fees earned by the Company from its customers. The Company is also currently experiencing a decline in revenues earned under the management services agreement with The Matthews Group, as The Matthews Group’s customer orders have been negatively impacted by the effects of COVID-19. The severity of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s business will continue to depend on a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the duration and severity of the pandemic and the extent and severity of the impact on the Company’s customers, service providers and suppliers, all of which are uncertain and cannot be predicted. As of the date of issuance of the Company’s financial statements, the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic may in the future materially impact the Company’s financial condition, liquidity or results of operations is uncertain.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries Veritec Financial Systems, Inc., Tangible Payment Systems, Inc., and Public Bell, Inc. (collectively the “Company”). Intercompany transactions and balances were eliminated in consolidation.

 

 F-6 

 

 

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. Those estimates and assumptions include estimates for reserves of uncollectible accounts, analysis of impairments of long-lived assets, accruals for potential liabilities, assumptions made in valuing stock instruments issued for services, and valuation of deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Cash and cash equivalents

 

Investments with original maturities of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents. The Company held no cash equivalents as of June 30, 2020 and 2019.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

The Company 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. Based on management’s assessment, no allowance for doubtful accounts was considered necessary at June 30, 2020, or 2019. 

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Revenues for the Company are classified into management fee revenue and mobile banking technology.

 

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASC 606”). The underlying principle of ASC 606 is to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers at the amount expected to be collected. ASC 606 creates a five-step model that requires entities to exercise judgment when considering the terms of contracts, which includes (1) identifying the contracts or agreements with a customer, (2) identifying the Company’s performance obligations in the contract or agreement, (3) determining the transaction price, (4) allocating the transaction price to the separate performance obligations, and (5) recognizing revenue as each performance obligation is satisfied. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the Company will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the services it transfers to its clients.

 

Mobile Banking Technology Revenue

 

The Company, as a merchant payment processor and a distributor, recognizes revenue from transaction fees charged to 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.

 

The Company has entered into certain long term agreements to provide application development and support. Some customers paid the agreement in full at signing and the Company recorded the receipt of payment as deferred revenue. The Company records revenue relating to these agreements on a pro-rata basis over the term of the agreement and reduces its deferred revenue balance accordingly.

 

Other Revenue, Management Fee - Related Party

 

On September 30, 2015, the Company sold all of its assets of its Barcode Technology, which was comprised solely of its intellectual property, to The Matthews Group (a related party, see Note 9). The Company subsequently entered into a management services agreement with The Matthews Group to manage all facets of the barcode technology operations through June 30, 2021. The Company earned a fee of 35% of all revenues billed up to June 30, 2020. The Company recognizes management fee revenue as services are performed.

The Matthews Group’s barcode technology customers are primarily manufacturing companies located in China.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences, 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 be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

 

Research and Development

 

Research and development costs are 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 stock outstanding plus the number of additional common stock that would have been outstanding if all dilutive potential common stock had been issued, using the treasury stock method. 

 

For the years ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, the calculations of basic and diluted loss per share are the same because potential dilutive securities would have an anti-dilutive effect.

 

 F-8 

 

 

As of June 30, 2020 and 2019, 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,
   2020  2019
Series H Preferred Stock   10,000    10,000 
Convertible Notes Payable   21,779,065    20,874,054 
Options   3,650,000    3,650,000 
Total   25,439,065    24,534,054 

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company periodically issues stock-based compensation to officers, directors, contractors and consultants for services rendered. Such issuances vest and expire according to terms established at the issuance date.

 

Stock-based payments to officers, directors, employees, and for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees, which include grants of employee stock options, are recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values in accordance with Topic 718. Stock option grants, which are generally time vested, will be measured at the grant date fair value and charged to operations on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. The fair value of stock options is determined utilizing the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, which is affected by several variables, including the risk-free interest rate, the expected dividend yield, the expected life of the equity award, the exercise price of the stock option as compared to the fair market value of the common stock on the grant date and the estimated volatility of the common stock over the term of the equity award.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company determines the fair value of its assets and liabilities based on the exchange price in U.S. dollars that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The Company uses a fair value hierarchy with three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, to measure fair value:

 

  Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
  Level 2 — Inputs, other than Level 1, that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
  Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

 

The carrying amounts of financial instruments such as cash, accounts receivable, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities, approximate the related fair values due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. The carrying values of notes payable approximate their fair values due to the fact that the interest rates on these obligations are based on prevailing market interest rates.

 

Concentrations

 

During the year ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company had one customer, a related party, that represented 77% and 61% of our revenues, respectively. No other customer represented more than 10% of our revenues.

Segments

 

The Company operates in one segment, the mobile financial banking industry. In accordance with the “Segment Reporting” Topic of the ASC, the Company’s chief operating decision maker has been identified as the Chief Executive Officer and President, who reviews operating results to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance for the entire Company. Existing guidance, which is based on a management approach to segment reporting, establishes requirements to report selected segment information quarterly and to report annually entity-wide disclosures about products and services, major customers, and the countries in which the entity holds material assets and reports revenue. All material operating units qualify for aggregation under “Segment Reporting” due to their similar customer base and similarities in: economic characteristics; nature of products and services; and procurement, manufacturing and distribution processes. Since the Company operates in one segment, all financial information required by “Segment Reporting” can be found in the accompanying consolidated financial statements

 

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Credit Losses - Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASC 326”). The standard significantly changes how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets, including accounts and notes receivables. The standard will replace today’s “incurred loss” approach with an “expected loss” model, under which companies will recognize allowances based on expected rather than incurred losses. Entities will apply the standard’s provisions as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. As small business filer, the standard will be effective for us for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company is currently assessing the impact of adopting this standard on the Company’s financial statements and related 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 financial statements.

 

NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN

 

The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. During the year ended June 30, 2020, the Company recorded a loss of $576,000, used cash in operating activities of $380,000, and at June 30, 2020, the Company had a stockholders’ deficiency of $5,849,000. In addition, as of June 30, 2020, the Company is delinquent in payment of $682,000 of its notes payable. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date that the financial statements are issued. The Company’s financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

The Company believes it will require additional funds to continue its operations through fiscal 2021 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.

 

NOTE 3 –CONTINGENT EARNOUT LIABILITY

 

On September 30, 2014, the Company acquired certain assets and liabilities of the Tangible Payments LLC. A portion of the purchase price for Tangible Payments LLC was an earnout payment of $155,000. 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 $1,300,000. For the years ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, there was no net profit derived from the acquired assets, and the Company had not yet received the required equity investments. Accordingly, no payments were made on the earnout.

 F-12 

 

 

On January 10, 2020, the Company modified the term of a stock option originally granted to its Chief Executive Officer in February 2013 and due to expire in February 2020. The Company extended the expiration date of the stock option by an additional 24 months. Due to the modification, the Company recorded a charge of approximately $6,000 on the modification date to account for the incremental change in fair value of the stock option before and after the modification,which was recognized as compensation cost.

 

In December 2018, the Company granted to its directors and employees, stock options to purchase an aggregate of 1,150,000 shares of Common Stock. The fair value of the stock options granted was determined to be $21,000 and was being amortized over the vesting period of 12 months. During the years ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of $10,000 and $11,000, respectively, related to the vesting of these options. As of June 30, 2020, the Company had no outstanding unvested options with future compensation costs. The outstanding and exercisable stock options had an intrinsic value of $12,000 and $23,000, respectively, on June 30, 2020, and June 30, 2019.

 

The fair value of each option on the date of grant was estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions:

 

   2019
Exercise Price  $0.03 
Stock Price  $0.03 
Risk-free interest rate   2.63%

NOTE 7 - INCOME TAXES

 

For the year ended June 30, 2020, net loss was $576,000, as compared to a net loss of $849,000 for the year ended June 30, 2019. For the years ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, no provision for income taxes was recorded. We made no provision for income taxes due to our utilization of federal net operating loss carryforwards to offset both regular taxable income and alternative minimum taxable income. 

 

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

 

   Year Ended June 30,
   2020  2019
Federal statutory tax rate   21%   21%
State tax, net of federal benefit   6%   6%
Total tax rate   27%   27%
Allowance   (27)%   (27)%
Effective tax rate   —  %   —  %

 

The following is a summary of the deferred tax assets:

 

   Year Ended June 30,
   2020  2019
Net operating loss carryforwards  $3,554,000   $3,403,000 
Deferred tax assets before valuation allowance   3,554,000    3,403,000 
Valuation allowance   (3,554,000)   (3,403,000)
Net deferred tax asset  $—     $—   

 

The Company has provided a valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets at June 30, 2020 and 2019 to reduce such asset to zero, since there is no assurance that the Company will generate future taxable income to utilize such asset. Management will review this valuation allowance requirement periodically and make adjustments as warranted. The net change in the valuation allowance for the year ended June 30, 2020, was an increase of $151,000.

 

Veritec has net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $13,162,000 million for federal purposes available to offset future taxable income that expires in varying amounts through 2040. The ability to utilize the net operating loss carryforwards 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). The Company is subject to examination by tax authorities for all years for which a loss carryforward is utilized in subsequent periods.

 

The Company follows FASB guidelines that address the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under this guidance, we may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. This guidance also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest, and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods and requires increased disclosures. As of June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company did not have a liability for unrecognized tax benefits, and no adjustment was required at adoption.

   

The Company’s policy is to record interest and penalties on uncertain tax provisions as income tax expense. As of June 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company has no accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions.

 

NOTE 8 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

The Matthews Group is owned 50% by Ms. Tran, the Company’s CEO/Executive Chair and a director, and 50% by Larry Johanns, a significant stockholder of the Company. The Company has relied on The Matthews Group for funding (see Note 4).

   

Management Services Agreement and Related Notes Payable with Related Party

 

The Company’s Barcode Technology was invented by the founders of Veritec as a product identification system for identification and tracking of parts, components and products mostly in the liquid crystal display (LCD) markets and for secure identification documents, financial cards, medical records, and other high-security applications. On September 30, 2015, the Company sold all of its assets of its Barcode Technology comprised solely of its intellectual property to The Matthews Group. The Company then entered into a management services agreement with The Matthews Group to manage all facets of the barcode technology operations, on behalf of The Matthews Group, through June 30, 2020. The Matthews Group bears the risk of loss from the barcode operations and has the right to the residual benefits of the barcode operations. 

 

 F-14 

 

 

In consideration of the services provided by the Company to The Matthews Group, the Company earned a fee of 20% of all revenues up to May 31, 2017, and 35% of all revenues up to June 30, 2021, from the barcode technology operations. During the year ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company recorded management fee revenue related to this agreement of $338,000 and $187,000, respectively.

 

Additionally, pursuant to the management services agreement, all cash flow (all revenues collected less direct costs paid) of the barcode technology operations is retained by the Company as proceeds from unsecured notes payable due The Matthews Group. During the years ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, cash flow loans of $517,000 and $377,000, respectively, were made to the Company at 10% interest per annum and due on demand.

As of June 30, 2020 and 2019, total advances to Ms. Tran amounted to $96,000 and $100,000, respectively, and have been presented as accounts payable, related party on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. The advances are unsecured, non-interest bearing, and due on demand.

 

Other Transactions with Related Parties

 

The Company leases its office facilities from Ms. Tran, the Company’s CEO/Executive Chair. For both the years ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, lease payments to Ms. Tran totaled $51,000.

  

NOTE 9 – LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

On or about November 13, 2017, a noteholder (“Plaintiff”) filed a lawsuit in district court in Hennepin County, Minnesota asserting that the Company breached the terms of a promissory note.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

 

Based upon an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures performed by our Chief Executive Officer as of the end of the period covered by this report, our Chief Executive Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures have not been effective as a result of a weakness in the design of internal control over financial reporting identified below.

 

As used herein, “disclosure controls and procedures” mean controls and other procedures of our company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Our Chief Executive Officer/Chief Accounting Officer conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). Based on management’s evaluation under the framework, management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of June 30, 2020.

 

We identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting primarily attributable to (i) lack of segregation of incompatible duties; and (ii) insufficient Board of Directors representation. These weaknesses are due to our inadequate staffing during the period covered by this report and our lack of working capital to hire additional staff. Management has retained an outside, independent financial consultant to record and review all financial data, as well as prepare our financial reports, in order to mitigate this weakness. Although management will periodically re-evaluate this situation, at this point it considers that the risk associated with such lack of segregation of duties and the potential benefits of adding employees to segregate such duties are not cost-justified. We intend to hire additional accounting personnel to assist with financial reporting as soon as our finances will allow.

 

This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

No changes in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during the year ended June 30, 2020, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
