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
THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2015 AND 2014
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1. 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 as primarily engaged in the development, marketing, sales and licensing of products and rendering of professional services related thereto in the following two fields of technology: (1) proprietary two-dimensional matrix symbology (also commonly referred to as “two-dimensional barcodes” or “2D barcodes”), and (2) mobile banking solutions. Subsequent to June 30, 2015, the Company began to focus exclusively on mobile banking technology, and sold its barcode technology.
Barcode Technology
The Company’s Barcode Technology was originally invented by the founders of Veritec under United States patents 4,924,078, 5,331,176, 5,612,524 and 7,159,780. Our principal licensed product to date that contains our VeriCode ® Barcode Technology has been a product identification system for identification and tracking of manufactured parts, components and products mostly in the liquid crystal display (LCD) markets. The VeriCode® symbol is a two-dimensional high data density machine-readable symbol that can contain up to approximately 500 bytes of data. The Company’s VSCode® Barcode Technology is a derivative of the VeriCode® symbol with the ability to encrypt a greater amount of data by increasing data density. The VSCode ® is a data storage “container” that offers a high degree of security and which can also be tailored to the application requirements of the user. The VSCode ® symbol can hold any form of binary information that can be digitized, including numbers, letters, images, photos, graphics, and the minutia for biometric information, including fingerprints and facial image data, to the extent of its data storage capacity, that are likewise limited by the resolution of the marking and reading devices employed by the user. VSCode ® is ideal for secure identification documents (such as national identification cards, driver’s licenses, and voter registration cards), financial cards, medical records and other high security applications. In its PhoneCodes™ product platform, Veritec developed software to send, store, display, and read a VeriCode® Barcode Technology symbol on the LCD screen of a mobile phone. With the electronic media that provide the ease of transferring information over the web, Veritec’s PhoneCodes™ technology enables individuals and companies to receive or distribute gift certificates, tickets, coupons, receipts, or engage in banking transactions using the VeriCode ® technology via wireless phone or PDA.
On September 30, 2015, the Company sold all of its assets of its Barcode Technology, which was comprised solely of its intellectual property. The sale allows the Company to focus its efforts solely on its growing Mobile Banking Technology (See Note 11).
Mobile Banking Solutions
In January 12, 2009, Veritec formed VTFS, a Delaware corporation, to bring its Mobile Banking Technology, products and related professional services to market. In May 2009 Veritec was registered by Security First Bank in Visa’s Third Party Registration Program as a Cardholder Independent Sales Organization and Third-Party Servicer. As a Cardholder Independent Sales Organization, Veritec was able to promote and sell Visa branded card programs. As a Third-Party Servicer, Veritec provided back-end cardholder transaction processing services for Visa branded card programs on behalf of Security First Bank. As of October 2010 the Company’s registration with Security First Bank terminated. As of April 2011 the Company signed an ISO and processor agreement with Palm Desert National Bank (which was later assigned to First California Bank) to market and processes the Company’s Visa branded card program on behalf of the bank. First California Bank was sold to Pacific Western Bank and June 2013 Pacific Western Bank closed its entire debit card division and transferred its contract with VTFS to Central Bank of Kansas City Bank. On February 5th, 2014 the entire relationship between Veritec and Pacific Western Bank ended and the new relationship with Central Bank of Kansas City began.
9 |
On September 30, 2014, Veritec and Tangible Payments LLC, a Maryland Limited Liability Company, entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement pursuant to which Veritec acquired certain assets and liabilities of the Tangible Payments LLC (See Note 6).
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.
NOTE 2. 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 nine month periods ended March 31, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending June 30, 2015. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2015 was derived from the unaudited 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, 2014.
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, analysis of impairments of long lived assets, 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.
NOTE 3. GOING CONCERN
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. Such assumption contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. During the nine months ended March 31, 2015, the Company incurred a net loss of $556,902. At March 31, 2015, the Company had a working capital deficit of $4,972,832 and a stockholders’ deficiency of $4,908,765. In addition, at March 31, 2015, the Company is delinquent in payment of $3,359,349 of its note payable obligations and is also delinquent in payment of $482,177 for payroll taxes and accrued interest.
These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to develop additional sources of capital and to ultimately achieve profitable operations. The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, in their report on the Company’s financial statements for the year ending June 30, 2014, expressed 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 these uncertainties.
The Company believes its cash and forecasted cash flow from operations will not be sufficient to continue operations through fiscal 2015 without continued external investment. The Company will require additional funds to continue its operations through fiscal 2015 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.
10 |
NOTE 4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Net Loss per Common Share:
Basic earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing the net income (loss) applicable to Common Stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) applicable to Common Stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if all dilutive potential common shares had been issued, using the treasury stock method. Potential common shares are excluded from the computation as their effect is antidilutive.
For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2015 and the three and nine months ended March 31, 2014, the calculations of basic and diluted loss per share are the same because potential dilutive securities would have an anti-dilutive effect. For the nine months ended March 31, 2014 the calculation of diluted earnings per share included stock options and warrants, calculated under the treasury stock method, and excluded preferred stock, certain stock options, warrants and convertible notes payable since the effect was antidilutive.
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted income per common share for the nine months period ended March 31, 2015 and 2014.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASU 2014-09 is a comprehensive revenue recognition standard that will supersede nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under current U.S. GAAP and replace it with a principle based approach for determining revenue recognition. ASU 2014-09 will require that companies recognize revenue based on the value of transferred goods or services as they occur in the contract. The ASU also will require additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. ASU 2014-09 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted only in annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods therein. Entities will be able to transition to the standard either retrospectively or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of ASU 2014-09 on the Company’s financial statements and disclosures.
In June 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-12, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718). The pronouncement was issued to clarify the accounting for share-based payments when the terms of an award provide that a performance target could be achieved after the requisite service period. The pronouncement is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The adoption of ASU 2014-12 is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.
In August 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-15, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern, which provides guidance on determining when and how to disclose going-concern uncertainties in the financial statements. ASU 2014-15 requires management to perform interim and annual assessments of an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date the financial statements are issued. An entity must provide certain disclosures if conditions or events raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. ASU 2014-15 is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and interim periods thereafter, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2014-15 on the Company’s financial statements and disclosures.
In November 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-16 (ASU 2014-16), Determining Whether the Host Contract in a Hybrid Financial Instrument Issued in the Form of a Share Is More Akin to Debt or to Equity. The amendments in this ASU do not change the current criteria in U.S. GAAP for determining when separation of certain embedded derivative features in a hybrid financial instrument is required. The amendments clarify that an entity should consider all relevant terms and features, including the embedded derivative feature being evaluated for bifurcation, in evaluating the nature of the host contract. The ASU applies to all entities that are issuers of, or investors in, hybrid financial instruments that are issued in the form of a share and is effective for public business entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of 2014-16 on the Company’s financial statements and disclosures.
12 |
In July 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2015-11, Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory, which requires that inventory within the scope of ASU 2015-11 be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Inventory measured using last-in, first-out (LIFO) and the retail inventory method are not impacted by the new guidance. ASU 2015-11 applies to all other inventory, which includes inventory that is measured using first-in, first-out (FIFO) or average cost. An entity should measure inventory within the scope of ASU 2015-11 at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. ASU 2015-11 is effective for public business entities in fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2015-11 on the Company’s financial statements and disclosures.
Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB, including its Emerging Issues Task Force, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the Securities and Exchange Commission did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company's present or future consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 5. RESTRICTED CASH
The Company entered into Store Value Prepaid Card Sponsorship Agreements (the “Agreement”) with certain banks whereas the Company markets and sells store value prepaid card programs (the “Programs”). The Programs are marketed and managed daily at the direction of the Bank, for which the Company receives a transaction fee. In connection with the agreements the Company is required to establish a Reserve Account controlled by the Bank. At March 31, 2015 and June 30, 2014, the restricted cash totaled $57,965 and $51,957, respectively. Since this amount is restricted for the purposes related to the Programs, it is classified as restricted cash on the consolidated balance sheets.
NOTE 6. ACQUISITION
On September 30, 2014, the Company and Tangible Payments LLC, a Maryland Limited Liability Company, entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement pursuant to which the Company acquired certain assets and liabilities of Tangible Payments LLC. Tangible Payments LLC is a combined-solution software package that incorporates features the market is currently purchasing as an individual-solutions product that requires integrated services at an additional cost. With a one-stop package, Tangible’s Payments LLC solution eliminates costs and reduces deployment time.
The purchase price for the acquisition was comprised of 250,000 shares of restricted common stock of Veritec valued at $37,500, issued on closing, and an earnout payment of $155,000 for an aggregate purchase price of $192,500. The earnout payment is payable on a monthly basis from the net profits derived from the acquired assets commencing three months after the closing. The earnout payment is accelerated and the balance of the earnout payment shall be due in full at such time as Veritec receives equity investments aggregating $1.3 million.
The Company assigned $192,500 of the purchase price to contract commitments which will be amortized over a three year period.
The following table presents our unaudited pro forma combined historical results of operations for the nine months March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, as if we had consummated the acquisition as of July 1, 2013.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Results of Operations – Three Months Ended March 31, 2015 compared to March 31, 2014
We had a net loss of $278,075 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to a net loss of $95,825 for the three months ended March 31, 2014.
License and other revenue
Details of revenues are as follows:
Three Months Ended March 31, | Increase (Decrease) | |||||||||||||||
2015 | 2014 | $ | % | |||||||||||||
Barcode Technology | $ | 109,664 | $ | 209,832 | $ | (100,168 | ) | (47.7 | ) | |||||||
Mobile Banking Technology | 62,521 | 2,034 | 60,487 | 2,973.7 | ||||||||||||
Total Revenues | $ | 172,185 | $ | 211,866 | $ | (39,681 | ) | (18.7 | ) |
Barcode Technology revenues are derived from our Product Identification systems sold principally to customers in the LCD manufacturing industry. Identification Card revenues in these periods were a result of sales of identification card and mobile banking systems.
The decrease in Barcode Technology revenues was mainly attributable to the decreased demand for LCD screens. Revenues from the LCD market remain unpredictable as they are generated when customers open new production facilities or update production equipment; however, for now the Company continues to experience relatively low demand for product identification product licenses in the LCD industry. A large portion of our license sales are concentrated in the Asia-Pacific market, which decreased in Taiwan, Japan, Germany, and increased in Korea and China.
Mobile Banking Technology revenues includes products such as the Company’s Blinx On-Off™ prepaid toggle Card and its Open Loop/Close Loop System and Bio ID Card Platform. Mobile Banking Technology uses web-based mobile technology to offer financial cardholders the very best technology in conducting secure financial transactions in real time, protecting personal identity, and financial account security. The increase in Mobile Banking Technology revenues is due to our efforts to grow this business line which has led to several recent multiyear agreements to provide services and support.
On September 30, 2015, the Company and The Matthews Group, a related party, entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement pursuant to which the Company sold the intellectual property assets relating to its Barcode Technology. The sale allows the Company to focus its efforts solely on growing its Mobile Banking Technology business.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, totaled $85,079 and $79,799, respectively. The increase in expense was the result of increased labor costs associated with projects implemented during the period as compared to the same period of the prior year. For the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, cost of sales as a percentage of revenue were 49.4% and 37.7%, respectively.
18 |
Operating Expenses
General and administrative expense for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 was $196,175 and $125,970, respectively. The increase was the result of $34,480 in operating expenses incurred after acquiring Tangible Payments, LLC (see Note 5 of the attached Consolidated Financial Statements). The remaining increase in expenses of $35,675 was primarily from increased salaries, benefits and professional fees.
Sales and marketing expense for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 were comparable at $16,660 and $19,357, respectively.
Research and development expense for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 was $25,007 and $33,453, respectively. The decrease of $8,446 in expense was the result of the Company’s completion of certain research and development projects as compared to the same period of the prior year.
Other Expenses, net
Other expense for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, which includes primarily interest expense, was $122,339 and $49,141, respectively. The increase was primarily a result of $76,500 of non-cash expense relating to the beneficial conversion feature of convertible notes payables issued during the three months ended March 31, 2015. A beneficial conversion feature is realized when the conversion price of a convertible notes payable is below the closing market price on the date of issuance.
Results of Operations – Nine Months Ended March 31, 2015 compared to March 31, 2014
We had a net loss of $556,902 for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 compared to net income of $285,855 for the nine months ended March 31, 2014.

Cost of Sales
Cost of sales for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, totaled $253,739 and $267,487, respectively. The decrease in expense was the result of decreased labor costs associated with projects implemented during the period as compared to the same period of the prior year. For the nine months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, cost of sales as a percentage of revenue were 35.0% and 20.7%, respectively.
Operating Expenses
General and administrative expense for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 was $571,135 and $406,064, respectively. The increase was the result of $79,025 in operating expenses incurred after acquiring Tangible Payments, LLC (see Note 5 of the attached Consolidated Financial Statements).

Sales and marketing expense for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 were comparable at $61,856 and $66,157, respectively.
Research and development expense for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 was $82,365 and $125,374, respectively. The decrease of $43,009 in expense was the result of the Company’s completion of certain research and development projects as compared to the same period of the prior year.
Other Expenses, net
Other expense for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, which includes primarily interest expense, was $312,746 and $144,942, respectively. The increase was primarily a result of $175,375 of non-cash expense relating to the beneficial conversion feature of convertible notes payables issued during the nine months ended March 31, 2015. A beneficial conversion feature is realized when the conversion price of a convertible notes payable is below the closing market price on the date of issuance.
Liquidity
Our cash and cash equivalents balance at March 31, 2015 increased to $54,003 as compared to $24,665 at June 30, 2014. The increase was the result of $51,662 in cash used in operating activities offset by $81,000 in cash provided by financing activities. Net cash used in operations during the nine months ended March 31, 2015 was $51,662 compared with $388,372 of cash provided by operations during the same period of the prior year. Cash used in operations during the nine months ended March 31, 2015 was primarily due to our net loss in the period offset by non-cash charges and an increase in deferred revenues. Net cash provided by financing activities of $81,000 during the nine months ended March 31, 2015 was primarily due to proceeds received from notes payable of $224,500 offset by payments on notes payable of $143,500. During the same period of the prior year, net cash used in financing activities of $364,036 was from payments on notes payable of $364,036.
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. During the nine months ended March 31, 2015, the Company had a net loss of $556,902. At March 31, 2015, the Company had a working capital deficit of $4,972,832 and a stockholders’ deficiency of $4,908,765. The Company is delinquent or in default on $3,359,349 of its notes payable and is delinquent in payment of certain amounts due of $482,177 for payroll taxes and accrued interest and penalties as of March 31, 2015.
These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. As a result, our independent registered public accounting firm, in its report on our June 30, 2014 financial statements, has raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might 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 2015 without continued external investment. The Company believes it will require additional funds to continue its operations through fiscal 2015 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.
In September 2015, The Matthews Group, a related party and the Company’s largest debt holder, elected to convert $1.8 million of its convertible notes payable balance, at a conversion price of $0.08 per share of common stock, into 22.2 million shares of the Company’s common stock.
In September 2015, the Company sold its Barcode Technology assets to The Matthews Group, a related party, for $670,000. The proceeds from the sale were used to reduce the Company’s notes payable balance to The Matthews Group.

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, 2014, 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, 2014.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.
In our Form 10-K at June 30, 2014, 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.
