Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in Item 2 of Part I of this report include forward-looking statements. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements expressed or implied by forward-looking statements.
In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as "may," "should," "expects," "plans," "anticipates," "believes," "estimates," "predicts," "potential," "proposed," "intended," or "continue" or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. You should read statements that contain these words carefully, because they discuss our expectations about our future operating results or our future financial condition or state other "forward-looking" information. There may be events in the future that we are not able to accurately predict or control. Before you invest in our securities, you should be aware that the occurrence of any of the events described in this Quarterly Report could substantially harm our business, results of operations and financial condition, and that upon the occurrence of any of these events, the trading price of our securities could decline and you could lose all or part of your investment. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, growth rates, levels of activity, performance or achievements. We are under no duty to update any of the forward-looking statements after the date of this Quarterly Report to conform these statements to actual results.

VERITEC, INC
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Six Months Ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 (Unaudited)
A. NATURE OF BUSINESS
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”).
The Company is primarily engaged in the development, marketing, sales and licensing of products and rendering of professional services related thereto in the following two fields of technology: (1) proprietary two-dimensional matrix symbology (also commonly referred to as “two-dimensional barcodes” or “2D barcodes”) and (2) mobile banking solutions.
The Company’s two-dimensional matrix symbology technology will hereafter be referred to as the Company’s “Barcode Technology”, and the Company’s mobile banking technology will hereafter be referred to as its “Mobile Banking Technology”.
The Company’s Barcode Technology was originally invented by the founders of Veritec under United States patents 4,924,078, 5,331,176, 5,612,524 and 7,159,780. Our principal licensed product to date that contains our VeriCode® Barcode Technology has been a product identification system for identification and tracking of manufactured parts, components and products. The VeriCode® symbol is a two-dimensional high data density machine-readable symbol that can contain up to approximately 500 bytes of data.
The Company’s VSCode® Barcode Technology is a derivative of the VeriCode® symbol with the ability to encrypt a greater amount of data by increasing data density. The VSCode® is a data storage “container” that offers a high degree of security and which can also be tailored to the application requirements of the user. The VSCode® symbol can hold any form of binary information that can be digitized, including numbers, letters, images, photos, graphics, and the minutia for biometric information, including fingerprints and facial image data, to the extent of its data storage capacity, that are likewise limited by the resolution of the marking and reading devices employed by the user. VSCode® is ideal for secure identification documents (such as national identification cards, driver’s licenses, and voter registration cards), financial cards, medical records and other high security applications.
In its PhoneCodes™ product platform, Veritec developed software to send, store, display, and read a VeriCode® Barcode Technology symbol on the LCD screen of a mobile phone. With the electronic media that provide the ease of transferring information over the web, Veritec’s PhoneCodes™ technology enables individuals and companies to receive or distribute gift certificates, tickets, coupons, receipts, or engage in banking transactions using the VeriCode® technology via wireless phone or PDA.
On January 12, 2009, Veritec formed VTFS, a Delaware corporation, to bring its Mobile Banking Technology, products and related professional services to market. In May 2009 Veritec was registered by Security First Bank in Visa’s Third Party Registration Program as a Cardholder Independent Sales Organization and Third-Party Servicer. As a Cardholder Independent Sales Organization, Veritec was able to promote and sell Visa branded card programs. As a Third-Party Servicer, Veritec provided back-end cardholder transaction processing services for Visa branded card programs on behalf of Security First Bank. As of October 2010 the Company’s registration with Security First Bank terminated. As of April 2011 the Company signed an ISO and processor agreement with Palm Desert National Bank (which was later assigned to First California Bank) to market and process the Company’s Visa branded card program on behalf of the bank.
Our VeriSuite™ card enrollment system was released in July 2009. The VeriSuite™ system is a user friendly and cost effective solution that gives governments and businesses the ability to provide cardholders with an identity card containing Veritec’s VSCode® Barcode Technology. The VeriSuite™ system provides secure Bio-ID Cards such as citizen identification, employee cards, health benefit cards, border control cards, financial cards and more.
The Company has a portfolio of five United States and eight foreign patents. In addition, we have seven U.S. and twenty-eight foreign pending patent applications.

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, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending June 30, 2012. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2011 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. 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, 2011.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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. Those estimates and assumptions include estimates for reserves of uncollectible accounts, accruals for potential liabilities and assumptions made in valuing stock instruments issued for services.
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. During the six months ended December 31, 2011, the Company had a net loss of $365,680. At December 31, 2011, the Company had a working capital deficit of $3,941,043 and a stockholders’ deficiency of $3,932,487. The Company is delinquent or in default of $2,218,319 of its notes payable and is delinquent in payment of certain amounts due of $433,545 for payroll taxes and accrued interest and penalties as of December 31, 2011. The Company believes its cash and forecasted cash flow from operations will not be sufficient to continue operations through fiscal 2012 without continued external investment. The Company will require additional funds to continue its operations through fiscal 2012 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 will 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. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Net Loss per Common Share:
Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if all dilutive potential common shares had been issued, using the treasury stock method. Potential common shares are excluded from the computation as their effect is antidilutive.
For the three and six months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 the calculations of basic and diluted loss per share are the same because potential dilutive securities would have an anti-dilutive effect.
There were 6,890,714 and 6,434,671 potentially dilutive securities as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
10
Concentrations
During the three months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company had three customers that accounted for approximately 10%, 15%, and 64% of sales in 2011, and three customers that accounted for approximately 15%, 27% and 29% of sales in 2010, respectively. During the six months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company had two customers that accounted for approximately 22% and 41% of sales in 2011, and four customers of which two accounted for approximately 17% each with the remaining two accounting for approximately 14% and 25% of sales in 2010, respectively. No other customers accounted for more than 10% of sales in either period. As of December 31, 2011 and June 30, 2011, the Company had approximately $20,400 (64%) and $6,050 (19%) and $6,050 (16%), $10,963 (29%), $10,025 (27%), and $5,300 (14%), respectively, of accounts receivable from its major customers.
For the three months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, foreign revenues accounted for 77% (65% Korea, 2% Taiwan and 10% Germany) and 99% (58% Korea and 41% Taiwan) of the Company’s total revenues respectively. For the six months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, foreign revenues accounted for 67% (56% Korea, 7% Taiwan, 3% Germany and 1% others) and 97% (73% Korea, 20% Taiwan, 3% Germany and 1% others) of the Company’s revenues respectively.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2011-04, “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs”. ASU No. 2011-4 does not require additional fair value measurements and is not intended to establish valuation standards or affect valuation practices outside of financial reporting. The ASU is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company will adopt the ASU as required. The ASU will affect the Company’s fair value disclosures, but will not affect the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.
In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, “Presentation of Comprehensive Income”. The ASU eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in shareholders’ equity, and instead requires consecutive presentation of the statement of net income and other comprehensive income either in a continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. ASU No. 2011-5 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company will adopt the ASU as required. It will have no affect on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.
In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08, “Testing Goodwill for Impairment”, an update to existing guidance on the assessment of goodwill impairment. This update simplifies the assessment of goodwill for impairment by allowing companies to consider qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount before performing the two step impairment review process. It also amends the examples of events or circumstances that would be considered in a goodwill impairment evaluation. The amendments are effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the affects adoption of ASU 2011-08 may have on its goodwill impairment testing.
Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the AICPA, and the Securities Exchange Commission (the "SEC") did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company's present or future consolidated financial statements.

G. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
On February 15, 2011, the Company filed a complaint in U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota against Aurora Financial Systems, Inc. (“Aurora”) for declaratory judgment, tortious interference and other related claims concerning assertions by Aurora regarding United States Patent No. 7,229,006. The complaint related to Aurora’s improper and unlawful assertions of patent against certain software owned by the Company which was lawfully acquired from the software’s owner and inventor before the purported assignment of any patent rights to Aurora. Even though Aurora was aware of the lawful acquisition yet they have made repeated claims about the Company’s purported patent infringement relating to the Company’s use and licensing of the software to various financial institutions with which the Company has sought business relationship. The Company is seeking a declaration of non-infringement based on legal estoppel and implied license as well as a judgment that Aurora has committed tortious interference with prospective economic advantage, false advertising under the Lanham Act and has violated Minnesota’s Deceptive Trade Practices Act. As of December 31, 2011 the case has been in discovery and Aurora has not countersued. In addition to the preceding lawsuit, the Company is subject to various legal proceedings from time to time in the ordinary course of business, none of which is required to be disclosed.

The Company also signed a 5-year strategic agreement with National Identity Solutions (NIS) for the promotion and marketing of the Company’s prepaid debit card program and NIS’ identity theft solutions. The agreement requires NIS to pay an up front license fee of $250,000 of which $125,000 was paid as of September 30, 2011 with the remaining balance of $125,000 paid as of December 31, 2011. Both payments have been reflected as deferred revenue to be amortized over the term of the agreement. The agreement automatically renews annually unless terminated by either party. During the six months ended December 31, 2011, the Company recognized revenue of $9,653 relating to this agreement. As of December 31, 2011, the balance remaining to be recognized was $240,347.
I. Subsequent Events
Subsequent to the quarter ended December 31, 2011, the Company received $200,000 from National Identify Solutions for an order for the supply of 50,000 of its Visa branded debit cards. On January 16, 2012, the Company entered into a Demand Promissory Note with 3 unrelated parties for $500,000 with interest at 5% per annum due on January 16, 2013. As of February 9, 2012, $250,000 of this note was funded by the above parties. As a guarantee of the note, the lenders reserve the right to exercise their option of purchasing 1,600,000 shares of common stock at a price of $0.40 per share anytime within the one year period of the loan. The 1,600,000 shares of common stock are to be provided by existing shareholders.
ITEM 2 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Results of Operations – December 31, 2011 compared to December 31, 2010
We had a net loss of $236,947 for the three months ended December 31, 2011, compared to a net loss of $297,065 for the three months ended December 31, 2010. For the six months ended December 31, 2011, we had a net loss of $365,680 compared to a net loss of $545,511 for the six months ended December 31, 2010.
Revenue
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, 2011, license and other revenue was $63,342 compared to $165,637 for the three months ended December 31, 2010, a decrease of $102,295. The license and other revenue decreases are attributable to the decrease in demand for licenses during the quarter. Revenues from the LCD market remain unpredictable as they are generated when customers open new production facilities or update production equipment. For the six months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, license and other revenues was $268,058 and $466,068, respectively. The decrease was due to the decrease in demand for licenses.
Cost of Goods Sold
Cost of sales for the three months ended December 31, 2011 totaled $58,860 and for the three months ended December 31, 2010, cost of sales were $75,996, a net decrease of $17,136. The decrease in cost of sales for the three months ended December 31, 2011, was the result of a reduction in the cost of maintaining the Company’s data processing center for its mobile banking operations, which made up 92% of the total cost of sales in the current period compared to 89% in the quarter ended December 31, 2010. This decrease was offset by increases in network costs which went up by $7,664. For the six months ended December 31, 2011, the cost of sales totaled $114,117 compared to the six months ended December 31, 2010 of $176,754. The net decrease of $62,637 was mainly due to a reduction in cost of maintaining the Company’s data processing center for its mobile banking operations. This decrease was offset by increases in network costs that increased by $4,608.
Operating Expenses
Sales and marketing expense for the three months ended December 31, 2011 were $35,632 compared to $34,415 for the three months ended December 31, 2010, an increase of $1,217. For the three months ended December 31, 2011, the Company had one direct sales staff person. The Company, for the three months ended December 31, 2011, paid out commissions of $355 compared to $166 for the three month period ended December 31, 2010. Sales and marketing expense for the six months ended December 31, 2011 was $75,773 compared to $75,757 for the six months ended December 31, 2010, a difference of $16. For the six months ended December 31, 2011 the Company had one direct sales staff.
General and administrative expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2011 were $95,569 compared to $255,397 for the three months ended December 31, 2010, a decrease of $159,828 over the three months ended December 31, 2010. The decrease was mainly the result of decreases in some of the expenditures for the three months ended December 31, 2011, compared to the three months ended December 31, 2010. Legal fees decreased by $98,739 due to the waning down of the Aurora case discussed under legal proceedings. The Company also saw decreases of $60,000 in bad debts expense, $10,374 in payroll and related costs and $3,403 in penalty and interest expense. These decreases were offset by increases in temporary/contract help of $5,802 and rent expense of $5,882 over the three months ended December 31, 2010. For the six months ended December 31, 2011, general and administrative expenses were $256,116 versus $532,679 for the six months ended December 31, 2010, a decrease of $276,563. The reduction was mainly the result of decreases in most of the expenditure for the six months ended December 31, 2011. Payroll expense decreased by $31,714 due to a reduction in staff levels. The Company also saw decreases in legal fees of $101,414, $6,000 in professional fees, $6,394 in depreciation expense, $41,132 in patent renewal expense, $60,000 in bad debts expense and $24,799 in payroll penalty and interest expense. These decreases were offset by increases in contract/temporary help expense of $8,963 and rent expense of $6,079.
Research and development expense for the three months ended December 31, 2011 totaled $69,680 versus $57,027 for the three months ended December 31, 2010. The increase of $12,653 was principally the result of increases in contract/temporary expense that increased by $36,323 but was offset by decrease of $23,670 in payroll costs. For the six months ended December 31, 2011, research and development costs was $106,790 compared to $144,824 for the six months ended December 31, 2010, a difference of $38,034. For the six month ended December 31, 2011, the engineering payroll costs decreased by $76,819 due to a reduction in staff levels but consulting expense increased by $38,785 as the Company used more consulting services.
Other Income (Expense)
Interest income for the three months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 was $3 and $0, respectively. Interest expense for the three months ended December 31, 2011, was $40,551 compared to $39,867 in the same period ended December 31, 2010. The increase was the result of issuance of notes payable. For the six months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 interest income was $3 and $0, respectively. For the six months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, interest expense was $80,945 and $81,565, respectively. The decrease was due to amortization of discount on notes payable expense in the period ended December 31, 2010 compared to none in the current period ended December 31, 2011.
Liquidity
Our increase in cash and cash equivalent to $79,080 at December 31, 2011 compared to $14,996 at June 30, 2011 was the result of $44,584 provided by operating activities and $19,500 provided by financing activities. Net cash provided by operations during 2011 was $44,584 compared with $94,537 used in operations during the same period in 2010. Cash provided by operations during 2011 was primarily due to the increase in deferred revenue offset by the net loss in the period, decreases in accounts receivable and decreases in accrued expenses. There was no net cash used in or provided by investing activities during 2011 compared with $60,000 net cash used in investing activities during 2010 which was primarily the result of payment on note receivable. Net cash provided by financing activities of $19,500 during 2011 was due to proceeds from notes payable of $19,500. During the same period in 2010, the net cash provided by financing activities of $124,200 was from net proceeds from notes payable.
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. During the six months ended December 31, 2011, the Company had a net loss of $365,680. At December 31, 2011, the Company had a working capital deficit of $3,941,043 and a stockholders’ deficiency of $3,932,487. The Company is delinquent or in default of $2,218,319 of its notes payable and is delinquent in payment of certain amounts due of $433,545 for payroll taxes and accrued interest and penalties as of December 31, 2011. The Company’s operations are currently being supported by borrowings from affiliated parties, and its cash and forecasted cash flow from operations will not be sufficient to continue operations without continued external investment. The Company believes it will require additional funds in the near future to continue its operations 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 further 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 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.
If the Company is not successful in raising additional funds, generating sufficient revenues or implementing sufficient cost reductions, the Company may be forced to suspend or discontinue its operations or seek relief from its debt obligations under the United States Bankruptcy Code. Any of these actions is likely to result in a common stockholder’s loss of his or her complete investment in the Company’s common stock.
Subsequent Events
Subsequent to the quarter ended December 31, 2011, the Company received $200,000 from National Identify Solutions for an order for the supply of 50,000 of its Visa branded debit cards. On January 16, 2012, the Company entered into a Demand Promissory Note with 3 unrelated parties for $500,000 with interest at 5% per annum due on January 16, 2013. As of February 9, 2012, $250,000 of this note was funded by the above parties. As a guarantee of the note, the lenders reserve the right to exercise their option of purchasing 1,600,000 shares of common stock at a price of $0.40 per share anytime within the one year period of the loan. The 1,600,000 shares of common stock are to be provided by existing shareholders.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2011-04, “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs”. ASU No. 2011-4 does not require additional fair value measurements and is not intended to establish valuation standards or affect valuation practices outside of financial reporting. The ASU is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company will adopt the ASU as required. The ASU will affect the Company’s fair value disclosures, but will not affect the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.
In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, “Presentation of Comprehensive Income”. The ASU eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in shareholders’ equity, and instead requires consecutive presentation of the statement of net income and other comprehensive income either in a continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. ASU No. 2011-5 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company will adopt the ASU as required. It will have no affect on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.
In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08, “Testing Goodwill for Impairment”, an update to existing guidance on the assessment of goodwill impairment. This update simplifies the assessment of goodwill for impairment by allowing companies to consider qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount before performing the two step impairment review process. It also amends the examples of events or circumstances that would be considered in a goodwill impairment evaluation. The amendments are effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the affects adoption of ASU 2011-08 may have on its goodwill impairment testing.
Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the AICPA, and the Securities Exchange Commission (the "SEC") did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company's present or future consolidated financial statements.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
Critical Accounting Policies
Stock-Based Compensation:
The Company periodically issues stock options and warrants to employees and non-employees in capital raising transactions, for services and for financing costs. Stock-based compensation for employees is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as expense over the requisite service period. Options vest and expire according to terms established at the grant date. The value of the stock compensation to non-employees is based upon the measurement date as determined at either (a) the date at which a performance commitment is reached or (b) at the date at which the necessary performance to earn the equity instruments is complete.
We estimate volatility and forfeitures based upon historical data. As permitted by the authoritative guidance issued by the FASB, we use the “simplified” method to determine the expected life of an option due to the Company’s lack of sufficient historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis, which is a result of the relative high turnover rates experienced in the past for positions granted options. All of these variables have an effect on the estimated fair value of our share-based awards.
Revenue Recognition:
The Company accounts for revenue recognition in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 101 "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements" and related amendments. Revenues for the Company are classified into four separate products; license revenue (Veritec’s Multi-Dimensional matrix symbology), hardware revenue, identification card revenue, and debit card revenue. Revenues from licenses, hardware, and identification cards are recognized when the product is shipped and collection is reasonably assured. The process typically begins for license and hardware revenue with a customer purchase order detailing its hardware specifications so the Company can import its software into the customer's hardware. Once importation is completed, if the customer only wishes to purchase a license, the Company typically transmits the software to the customer via the Internet. Revenue is recognized at that point. If the customer requests both license and hardware products, once the software is imported into the hardware and the process is complete, the product is shipped and revenue is recognized at time of shipment. Once the software and/or hardware are either shipped or transmitted, the customers do not have a right of refusal or return. Under some conditions, the customers remit payment prior to the Company having completed importation of the software. In these instances, the Company delays revenue recognition and reflects the prepayments as customer deposits.
The process for identification cards begins when a customer requests, via the Internet, an identification card. The card is reviewed for design and placement of the data, printed and packaged for shipment. At the time the identification cards are shipped and collection is reasonably assured, revenue is recognized.
The Company, as a processor and a distributor, recognizes revenue from transaction fees charged cardholders for the use of its issued mobile debit cards. The fees are recognized on a monthly basis after all cardholder transactions have been summarized and reconciled with third party processors.

ITEM 3 QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
A smaller reporting company is not required to provide the information required by this Item 3.
ITEM 4 CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) Rules 13a-15(e) and 15-d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this report (the “Evaluation Date”). Based upon that evaluation, our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. As of December 31, 2011, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level due to the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting described in our Form 10-K at June 30, 2011.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.
In our Form 10-K at June 30, 2011, we identified certain matters that constitute material weaknesses (as defined under the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board Auditing Standard No. 2) in our internal control over financial reporting as discussed on Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. We are undergoing ongoing evaluation and improvements in our internal control over financial reporting. Regarding our identified weaknesses, we have performed the following remediation efforts:
§ We have assigned our audit committee with oversight responsibilities.
§ Our financial statements, periodic reports filed pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, our monthly bank statements and imaged checks are now continuously reviewed by our chief financial officer and chief executive officer.
§ All significant contracts are now being reviewed and approved by our board of directors in conjunction with the chief executive officer.
There was no other change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
