VERITEC,
INC.
NOTES TO
CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Six
Months Ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 (Unaudited)
A. THE
COMPANY
References
to the “Company” in this Form 10-Q refer to Veritec, Inc. (“Veritec”) and its
wholly owned subsidiaries VCode Holdings, Inc. (“VCode”) and Veritec Financial
Systems, Inc. (“VTFS”).
B. BASIS
OF PRESENTATION
The
accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with United States of America generally accepted
accounting principles (GAAP) for interim financial information and with the
instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, the condensed consolidated
financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes
required for complete financial statements.
In the
opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals)
considered necessary for a fair presentation have been
included. Operating results for the three and six month periods ended
December 31, 2009, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
expected for the year ending June 30, 2010. For further information,
refer to the Consolidated Financial Statements and footnotes thereto included in
our Form 10-K as of and for the year ended June 30, 2009. The
Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2009 was derived from the
audited consolidated financial statements as of such date, but does
not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP.
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent
assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported
amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results
could differ from those estimates.
The
accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
Veritec, VCode, and VTFS. All inter-company transactions and balances were
eliminated in consolidation.
C. GOING
CONCERN
The
accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared
assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. At December 31,
2009, the Company has $14,659 and ($2,320,325) of cash and working capital
deficit, respectively. The Company believes its cash and forecasted cash flow
from operations will not be sufficient to continue operations through fiscal
2010 without continued external investment. The Company believes it will require
additional funds to continue its operations through fiscal 2010 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 condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any
adjustments that may result from this uncertainty.
D. NATURE
OF BUSINESS
The
Company is primarily engaged in the development, marketing, sales and licensing
of products and rendering of professional services related thereto in the
following two fields of technology: (1) proprietary two-dimensional
matrix symbology (also commonly referred to as “two-dimensional barcodes” or “2D
barcodes”), and (2) mobile banking solutions.
In this
Form 10-Q, the Company’s two-dimensional matrix symbology technology will
hereafter be referred to as the Company’s “Barcode Technology”, and the
Company’s mobile banking technology will hereafter be referred to as its “Mobile
Banking Technology”.
The
Company’s Barcode Technology was originally invented by the founders of Veritec
under United States patents 4,924,078, 5,331,176, 5,612,524 and
7,159,780. Our principal licensed product to date that contains our
VeriCode®
Barcode Technology has been a product identification system for identification
and tracking of manufactured parts, components and products. The VeriCode®
symbol is a two-dimensional high data density machine-readable symbol that can
contain up to approximately 500 bytes of data.
8
The
Company’s VSCode®
Barcode Technology is a derivative of the VeriCode®
symbol with the ability to encrypt a greater amount of data by increasing data
density. The VSCode® is a
data storage “container” that offers a high degree of security and which can
also be tailored to the application requirements of the user. The VSCode®
symbol can hold any form of binary information that can be digitized, including
numbers, letters, images, photos, graphics, and the minutia for biometric
information, including fingerprints and facial image data, to the extent of its
data storage capacity, that are likewise limited by the resolution of the
marking and reading devices employed by the user. VSCode® is
ideal for secure identification documents (such as national identification
cards, driver’s licenses, and voter registration cards), financial cards,
medical records and other high security applications.
In its PhoneCodes™ product
platform, Veritec developed software to send, store, display, and read a
VeriCode® Barcode Technology symbol on the LCD screen of a mobile phone. With
the electronic media that provide the ease of transferring information over the
web, Veritec’s PhoneCodes™ technology enables individuals and companies to
receive or distribute gift certificates, tickets, coupons, receipts, or engage
in banking transactions using the VeriCode® technology via wireless phone or
PDA.
On
January 12, 2009, Veritec formed VTFS, a Delaware corporation, to bring its
Mobile Banking Technology, products and related professional services to
market. In May 2009 Veritec was registered by Security First Bank in
Visa’s Third Party Registration Program as a Cardholder Independent Sales
Organization and Third-Party Servicer. As a Cardholder Independent
Sales Organization, Veritec may 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 Security First Bank.
Our
VeriSuite™ card enrollment system was released in July 2009. The
VeriSuite™ system is a user friendly and
cost effective solution that gives governments and businesses the ability to
provide cardholders with an identity card containing Veritec’s VSCode® Barcode
Technology. The VeriSuite™ system provides secure Bio-ID Cards such
as citizen identification, employee cards, health benefit cards, border control
cards, financial cards, and more.
The
Company has a portfolio of five United States and eight foreign patents. In
addition, we have seven U.S. and twenty-eight foreign pending patent
applications.

SIGNIFICANT
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
|
Revenue
Recognition:
The Company accounts for revenue recognition in accordance with accounting standards. Revenues for the Company are classified into the following three separate categories: license revenue (Barcode Technology), hardware revenue, and identification card services revenue.
Revenues
from licenses, hardware, and identification cards are recognized when the
product is shipped and collection is reasonably assured. The process typically
begins for license and hardware revenue with a customer purchase order detailing
its hardware specifications so the Company can import its software into the
customer's hardware. Once importation is completed, if the customer only wishes
to purchase a license, the Company typically transmits the software to the
customer via the Internet. Revenue is recognized at that point. If
the customer requests both license and hardware products, once the software is
imported into the hardware and the process is complete, the product is shipped
and revenue is recognized at time of shipment. Once the software
and/or hardware are either shipped or transmitted, the customers do not have a
right of refusal or return. Under some conditions, the customers
remit payment prior to the Company having completed importation of the
software. In these instances, the Company delays revenue recognition
and reflects the prepayments as customer deposits.
The
process for identification cards begins when a customer requests, via the
Internet, an identification card. The card is reviewed for design and
placement of the data, printed and packaged for shipment. At the time
the identification cards are shipped and collection is reasonably assured,
revenue is recognized.
Patent
Costs:
The
patent application costs are capitalized and, when approved, will be amortized
over its estimated useful life. If not approved, or if considered impaired,
these costs will be written off when deemed impaired.
Net Loss per Common
Share:
Basic net
loss per common share is computed by dividing the loss available to common
stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares
outstanding. Diluted net loss per common share, in addition to the
weighted-average number of common shares outstanding determined for basic net
loss per common share, includes potential dilution that could occur if
securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted
into common stock.
The
weighted average shares outstanding were 16,208,131 and 15,115,088 for the three
months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The weighted average
shares outstanding were 16,245,305 and 15,115,088 for the six months ended
December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Potentially dilutive instruments
include stock options, warrants, preferred stock, convertible notes payable
(Note E and F). For the six months ended December 31, 2009, stock options
(819,249 common shares) warrants (275,000 common shares), convertible notes
payable (4,141,491 common shares), and preferred stock (10,000 common shares)
were antidilutive and, therefore, were not included in the computation of
diluted net loss per common share. For the six months ended December 31, 2008,
stock (1,050,000 restricted common shares), stock options (731,749 common
shares) and preferred stock (10,000 common shares) were antidilutive and,
therefore, were not included in the computation of diluted net loss per common
share.

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 no cash balances in excess of
the guarantee during the three and six months ended December 31,
2009.
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.
FASB
issued authoritative guidance that requires the use of observable market data if
such data is available without undue cost and effort.
Recently
Issued Accounting Standards
In June
2009, the FASB issued authoritative guidance on accounting standards
codification and the hierarchy of generally accepted accounting principles. The
FASB Accounting Standards Codification™ (“Codification”) has become the source
of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by
nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in
accordance with GAAP. All existing accounting standard documents are superseded
by the Codification and any accounting literature not included in the
Codification will not be authoritative. However, rules and interpretive releases
of the Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued under the authority of
federal securities laws will continue to be sources of authoritative GAAP for
SEC registrants. The FASB authoritative guidance is effective for interim and
annual reporting periods ending after September 15, 2009. Therefore, beginning
with our quarter ending September 30, 2009, all references made by it to GAAP in
its financial statements now use the new Codification numbering system. The
Codification does not change or alter existing GAAP and, therefore, it does not
have an impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and
cash flows.
In
April 2009, the FASB issued new accounting guidance relating to fair value
measurement to provide additional guidance for estimating fair value when the
volume and level of activity for an asset or liability have significantly
decreased. Guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate a
transaction is not orderly is also provided. If it is concluded that there
has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of market activity for
an asset or liability in relation to normal market activity, transaction or
quoted prices may not be determinative of fair value and further analysis of
transaction or quoted prices may be necessary. A significant adjustment to
transaction or quoted prices may be necessary to estimate fair value under the
current market conditions. Determination of whether a transaction is
orderly is based on the weight of relevant evidence.
The
disclosure requirements are expanded to include the inputs and valuation
techniques used to measure fair value and a discussion of changes in valuation
techniques and related inputs during the quarterly reporting period.
Disclosures of assets and liabilities measured at fair value are to be presented
by major security type. Disclosures are not required for earlier periods
presented for comparative purposes. Revisions resulting from a change in
valuation technique or its application shall be accounted for as a change in
accounting estimate and disclosed, along with the total effect of the change in
valuation technique and related inputs, if practicable, by major category.
The Company adopted the provisions of the new guidance as of April 1,
2009. The adoption had no effect on the Company’s results of operations or
financial position.
In
May 2009, the FASB issued new requirements for reporting subsequent events.
These requirements set forth the period after the balance sheet date during
which management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions
that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial
statements, the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or
transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements,
and disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions that
occurred after the balance sheet date. Disclosure of the date through which an
entity has evaluated subsequent events and the basis for that date is also
required.
Other
recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging
Issues Task Force), the AICPA, and the SEC did not or are not believed by
management to have a material impact on the Company's present or future
consolidated financial statements.

Common
Stock
Shares issued for
services
On
December 5, 2008, the Company’s Board of Directors granted its former Chief
Executive Officer, Mr. Jeffrey Hattara, 1,000,000 restricted shares of the
Company’s common stock and granted Mr. Thomas McPherson, the Company’s Vice
President, General Counsel and Secretary, 50,000 restricted shares of the
Company’s common stock. The shares for both individuals were valued at the fair
market price for December 5, 2008 of $0.30 per share. Of the 1,050,000
shares of common stock, 525,000 shares vested on June 5, 2009 and the
remainder vested on December 5, 2009. The total compensation expense for
these arrangements was $131,250 for the six months ended December 31,
2009.
On
January 1, 2009, the Company signed an agreement with a consultant to receive
50,000 shares of stock and 10,000 options to acquire common stock, with each
issuance subject to approval by the Board of Directors. On October 7,
2009, the Board of Directors approved issuance of 25,000 shares and nullified
and terminated the remainder of the agreement. The shares were valued
in the aggregate at $6,500 which was based upon the stock price of the shares on
the date of board approval.
On
July 21, 2009, the Company issued 50,000 shares of its common stock to each of
its three directors (150,000 shares in the aggregate). The shares
were valued in the aggregate at $37,500, based upon the stock price of the
shares on the date of board approval, and were included in accrued expenses at
June 30, 2009.
Returned
Shares
In
October 2009 David Reiling, a board member, resigned and voluntarily
relinquished 50,000 shares of restricted common stock granted to
him. On December 5, 2009, Mr. Hattara resigned as CEO and agreed to
return 500,000 shares of common stock previously issued to him. As
the shares issued were fully vested and services had been provided to the
Company under the initial share issuance agreements, upon return of the shares
the Company adjusted its paid in capital for the par value of the shares
issued.
Shares issued upon
conversion of Debt
In
October 2009, the Board of Directors approved the issuance of 70,000 shares of
common stock upon the conversion in full of $70,000 of notes
payable. The note was converted in accordance with the conversion
terms with the debt instrument.

EVENTS
Management
has evaluated subsequent events through February 16, 2010, the filing date of
this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.
Subsequent
to the quarter ended December 31, 2009, the Company borrowed a total of $48,500

current CEO and Board member, Van Tran, and Larry Matthews, a significant
Company shareholder) at 10% annual interest, maturing November 2010 through
January 2011. The note is convertible into the Company’s common stock
at the rate of one share for every $0.30 of indebtedness. Out of the

ITEM
2 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND
ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Results of Operations –
December 31, 2009 compared to December 31, 2008
We had a
net loss of $615,843 for the three months ended December 31, 2009 compared to a
net loss of $185,468 for the three months ended December 31,
2008. For the six month ended December 31, 2009, we had net loss of
$1,326,303 compared to a net loss of $235,941 for the six months ended December
31, 2008.
License
and other revenues are derived from our product identification systems sold
principally to customers in the LCD monitor industry.
For the
three months ended December 31, 2009, license and other revenue was $119,017
compared to $268,327 for the three months ended December 31, 2008, a decrease of
$149,310. The license and other revenue decreases are attributable to
the decline in demand for LCD screens. Revenues from the LCD market remain
unpredictable as they are generated when customers open new production
facilities or update production equipment; however, for now the Company
continues to experience decline in demand for product identification product
licenses in the LCD industry. The decrease is a result of various
customers purchasing less in the current period than in the three months ended
December 31, 2008. For the six months ended December 31, 2009 and
2008, license and other revenue was $319,658 and $700,859,
respectively. The decrease was due to a sharp decline in LCD screen
demand.
Cost of Goods
Sold
Cost of
sales for the three months ended December 31, 2009 totaled $129,426 and for the
three months ended December 31, 2008, cost of sales were $64,351, an increase of
$65,075. The increase in cost of sales for the three months ended
December 31, 2009 was the result of the cost of maintaining the Company’s data
processing center for its mobile banking operations, which made up 91% of the
total cost of sales in the current period compared to none in the quarter ended
December 31, 2008. This increase was however offset by a reduction in
the cost of licenses sold during the quarter and maintenance services, which
decreased by $48,788 over the three months ended December 31,
2008. For the six months ended December 31, 2009, the cost of sales
totaled $288,884 compared to the six months ended December 31, 2008 of
$127,946. The net increase of $160,938 was mainly due to maintaining
the Company’s data processing center for its mobile banking operations which was
not operational in the six months ended December 31, 2008. This
increased cost was offset by a reduction of $93,032 in the cost of
licenses.
Operating
Expenses
Research
and development expense for the three months ended December 31, 2009 totaled
$151,976 versus $135,277 for the three months ended December 31,
2008. The increase of $16,699 was principally the result of increased
engineering payroll expense and related employer taxes that increased by $62,800
from the Company’s mobile banking operations, which was not operational during
the three month ended December 31, 2008. This increase was however
offset by a $46,100 reduction in consulting cost in response to declining
revenues. For the six months ended December 31, 2009, research and
development costs were $339,981 compared to $234,372 for the six months ended
December 31, 2008, a difference of $105,609. For the six months ended
December 2009, engineering payroll costs increased by $135,339 due to the
Company’s mobile banking operations that was not operational during the six
months ended December 31, 2008. This increase was however offset by a
$29,730 reduction in consulting cost in response to declining
revenues.
Sales and
marketing expense for the three months ended December 31, 2009 were $40,752
compared to $8,393 for the three months ended December 30, 2008, an increase of
$32,359. For the three months ended December 31, 2009, the Company
had one direct sales staff, accounting for $30,893 of cost increases compared to
no sales staff for the same three month period ended December 31,
2008. The Company, for the three months ended December 31, 2009, paid
out commissions of $200 compared to $286 for the three month period ended
December 31, 2008. Sales and marketing expense for the six months
ended December 31, 2008 were $89,683 compared to $45,539 for the six months
ended December 31, 2008 a difference of $44,144. For the six months
ended December 31, 2009 the Company had one direct sales staff that accounted
for $61,951 increased payroll costs compared to the same six months period ended
December 31, 2008.
13
General
and administrative expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2009 were
$377,783 compared to $246,664 for the three months ended December 31, 2008, an
increase of $131,119 over the three months ended December 31,
2008. The increase was mainly the result of increases in most of the
expenditures for the three months ended December 31, 2009 compared to the three
months ended December 31, 2008. Rent expense was higher by $8,568 due
to the Company renting two housing units for guests and leasing of additional
office space for the three months ended December 31, 2009. The Company saw
increases of $36,308 in payroll expense, $68,349 in stock compensation expense
and stock issued for services, $20,012 in consulting expense, $14,593 in
professional fees, and $18,044 in public company fees, over the same three
months ended December 31, 2008. The increased payroll and stock compensation
related mainly to compensation for officers who commenced their employment in
December 2008. These increases were offset by $40,096 reduction in
legal fees. For the six months ended December 31, 2009, general and
administrative expenses were $865,263 versus $530,894 for the six months ended
December 31, 2008, an increase of $334,369. The increase was the
result of higher salaries of $77,758, stock compensation expense of $180,562,
employer payroll taxes of $12,801, consulting expense of $20,695, rent expense
of $20,068, health insurance cost of $19,571, professional accounting fees of
$21,983, and public company fees of $35,632. These increases were
offset by $52,776 reduction in legal fees and $6,480 patent
expense.
Other Income
(Expense)
Interest
income for the three months ended December 31, 2009 was $0 compared to $891 for
the three months ended December 31, 2008 a decrease of $891. The
decrease was a result of the Company’s need for cash to fund its operations,
thus drawing down cash reserves and in doing so earning no
interest. Interest expense for the three months ended December 31,
2009 was $34,923 compared to $0 in the same period ended December 31,
2008. The increase was the result of issuance of notes
payable. For the six months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008,
interest income was $30 and $1952, respectively. The decrease was a
result of the Company’s need for cash to fund operations, thus drawing down cash
reserves and so doing earning less interest. For the six months ended
December 31, 2009 and 2008 interest expense was $62,179 and $0,
respectively. The increase was the result of issuance of notes
payable.
Liquidity
The
accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared
assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. At December
31, 2009, the Company has $14,659 and ($2,320,325) of cash and working capital
deficit, respectively. The Company believes its cash and forecasted
cash flow from operations will not be sufficient to continue operations through
fiscal 2010 without continued external investment. The Company believes it will
require additional funds to continue its operations through fiscal 2010 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 condensed consolidated financial statements do not
include any adjustments that may result from this uncertainty.
Subsequent
to the quarter ended December 31, 2009, the Company borrowed a total of $48,500
from related parties including The Matthews Group (an entity owned by our
current CEO and Board member, Van Tran, and Larry Matthews, a significant
Company shareholder) at 8% and 10% annual interest, maturing November 2010
through January 2011. The note is convertible into the Company’s
common stock at the rate of one share for every $0.30 of
indebtedness. Out of the $48,500, $38,500 is due on
demand.

In May

requirements set forth the period after the balance sheet date during which
management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may
occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, the
circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions

Commitments and Contractual
Obligations
The
Company has one annual lease commitment of $50,400 for the corporate office
building. The office building is leased from the Company’s CEO and
Executive Chairman, Van Tran, and expires on June 30, 2012. The
commitment is for the corporate offices at 2445 Winnetka Avenue North, Golden
Valley, Minnesota. The total amount of the 2.5 year lease commitment
is $126,000. The Company also has month-to-month leases for corporate
housing at 1300 Hillsboro, Golden Valley, Minnesota and 2415 Winnetka Ave. N.,
Golden Valley, Minnesota, which are leased from Larry Johanns, a principal of
The Matthews Group, LLC, and significant shareholder of the
Company. The monthly lease obligations are $1,000 and $1,200,
respectively.
Our
subsidiary, VTFS, entered into a twelve-month processing center contract
beginning February 1, 2009, with monthly commitments of approximately
$34,200. This contract is now on a month-to-month basis until
renegotiated.
Off-Balance Sheet
Arrangements
We do not
have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
Critical Accounting
Policies
Stock-Based
Compensation:
The
Company accounts for stock-based compensation under applicable accounting
standards using the modified prospective application
method. Accounting guidance requires the cost of employee
compensation paid with equity instruments to be measured based on grant-date
fair values and recognized over the vesting period.
Revenue
Recognition:
The
Company accounts for revenue recognition in accordance with accounting guidance.
Revenues for the Company are classified into the following three separate
categories: license revenue (Barcode Technology), hardware revenue, and
identification card services revenue.
Revenues
from licenses, hardware, and identification cards are recognized when the
product is shipped and collection is reasonably assured. The process typically
begins for license and hardware revenue with a customer purchase order detailing
its hardware specifications so the Company can import its software into the
customer's hardware. Once importation is completed, if the customer only wishes
to purchase a license, the Company typically transmits the software to the
customer via the Internet. Revenue is recognized at that point. If
the customer requests both license and hardware products, once the software is
imported into the hardware and the process is complete, the product is shipped
and revenue is recognized at time of shipment. Once the software
and/or hardware are either shipped or transmitted, the customers do not have a
right of refusal or return. Under some conditions, the customers
remit payment prior to the Company having completed importation of the
software. In these instances, the Company delays revenue recognition
and reflects the prepayments as customer deposits.
The
process for identification cards begins when a customer requests, via the
Internet, an identification card. The card is reviewed for design and
placement of the data, printed and packaged for shipment. At the time
the identification cards are shipped and collection is reasonably assured,
revenue is recognized.
ITEM
3 QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE
DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Our
financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents. Our cash and
cash equivalents are not subject to significant interest rate risk due to the
short maturities of these instruments. As of December 31, 2009, the
carrying value of our cash and cash equivalents approximated fair value. We have
in the past and may in the future obtain marketable debt securities (principally
consisting of commercial paper, corporate bonds and government securities)
having a weighted average duration of one year or less. Consequently, such
securities would not be subject to significant interest rate risk. Our main
investment objectives are the preservation of investment capital and the
maximization of after-tax returns on our investment portfolio. We do not use
derivative instruments for speculative or investment purposes.

ITEM
4T CONTROLS AND
PROCEDURES
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, including our Chief Executive Officer/Chief Financial Officer, as
appropriate, 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/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 controls constituted material weaknesses as discussed 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.
The
material weaknesses relate to limited transitional oversight from a newly formed
audit committee on the external financial reporting process and internal
controls over financial reporting and lack of segregation of duties. Under the
segregation of duties issues, the CFO was the sole preparer of the financial
statements and periodic SEC reports with limited separate independent detailed
review to prevent material errors. Also the CEO has had authority to
enter into significant contracts, as well as authority to sign checks, which
could result in material fraud.
In order
to mitigate these material weaknesses to the fullest extent possible, the
Company has assigned its newly formed audit committee with oversight
responsibilities. Financial statements, periodic SEC reports and monthly bank
statement and imaged checks are continuously reviewed by the CFO and
CEO/Executive Chair. In addition all significant contracts are now
being reviewed and signed off by the Company’s board of directors in conjunction
with the CEO/Executive Chair.
Internal Control over
Financial Reporting
There
have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting
during the fiscal year to which this report relates that have materially
affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control
over financial reporting.
PART
II
ITEM
1 LEGAL
PROCEEDINGS
From time
to time, we are involved in various legal actions arising in the ordinary course
of business. In the opinion of our management, the ultimate
dispositions of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our
consolidated financial position and results of operations. Currently,
there are no significant legal matters pending.

SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
On
January 1, 2009, the Company signed an agreement with a consultant to receive
50,000 shares of stock and 10,000 options to acquire common stock, with each
issuance subject to approval by the Board of Directors. On October 7,
2009, the Board of Directors approved issuance of 25,000 shares and nullified
and terminated the remainder of the agreement. The shares were valued
in the aggregate at $6,500 which was based upon the stock price of the shares on
