NOTE 1 – NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Company

Veritec, Inc. (Veritec) was formed in the State of Nevada on September 8, 1982. Veritec’s wholly owned subsidiaries include Veritec Financial Systems, Inc., Tangible Payment Systems, Inc., and Public Bell, Inc. (collectively the “Company”).

Nature of Business

The Company is currently engaged in the development, marketing, sales and licensing of products and professional services related to mobile banking prepaid debit cards. As a Cardholder Independent Sales Organization, Veritec is able to promote and sell Visa branded card programs. As a Third-Party Servicer, Veritec provides back-end cardholder transaction processing services for Visa branded card programs on behalf of a sponsoring bank. The Company is currently seeking a bank to sponsor its Prepaid Card programs. The Company has a portfolio of five United States and eight foreign patents. In addition, the Company has seven U.S. and twenty-eight foreign pending patent applications.

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 period ended December 31, 2018, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending June 30, 2019. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet information as of June 30, 2018 was derived from the Company’s audited Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for the year ended June 30, 2018 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on October 5, 2018. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with that report.

The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Veritec and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Veritec Financial Systems, Inc., Tangible Payment Systems, Inc., and Public Bell, Inc. Inter-company transactions and balances were eliminated in consolidation.

GOING CONCERN

The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. During the six months ended December 31, 2018, the Company incurred a loss from operations of $278,666 and used cash in operating activities of $231,594, and at December 31, 2018, the Company had a working capital deficit of $4,730,760 and a stockholders’ deficiency of $4,885,760. In addition, as of December 31, 2018, the Company is delinquent in payment of $778,554 of its notes payable. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date that the financial statements are issued. In addition, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, in its report on our June 30, 2018 financial statements, has raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

The Company believes it will require additional funds to continue its operations through fiscal 2019 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.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Those estimates and assumptions include estimates for reserves of uncollectible accounts, analysis of impairments of long lived assets, accruals for potential liabilities, and assumptions used in valuing derivatives and stock-based compensation, and the valuation of deferred taxes.

Revenue Recognition

Effective July 1, 2018 the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board's ("FASB") Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) ("ASC 606”) which superseded previous revenue recognition guidance. The underlying principle of ASC 606 is to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers at the amount expected to be collected. ASC 606 creates a five-step model that requires entities to exercise judgment when considering the terms of contracts, which includes (1) identifying the contracts or agreements with a customer, (2) identifying the Company’s performance obligations in the contract or agreement, (3) determining the transaction price, (4) allocating the transaction price to the separate performance obligations, and (5) recognizing revenue as each performance obligation is satisfied. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the Company will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the services it transfers to its clients. The Company has concluded that the new guidance did not require any significant change to its revenue recognition processes and the implementation of ASC 606 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value measurements adopted by the Company are based on the authoritative guidance provided by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) which defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. FASB authoritative guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value into three broad levels as follows:

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

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

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs based on the Company's assumptions.

The carrying amounts reported in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and current liabilities, including notes payable and convertible notes, approximate their fair values because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and their current market rates of interest.

Net Income (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 period ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, the calculations of basic and diluted loss per share are the same because potential dilutive securities would have an anti-dilutive effect. At December 31, 2017, the Company’s Series H Preferred Stock, Convertible Notes Payable and Options were antidilutive because their exercise prices and conversion prices were out of the money.

As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, we excluded the outstanding securities summarized below, which entitle the holders thereof to acquire shares of common stock, from our calculation of earnings per share, as their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

Concentrations

During the six months ended December 31, 2018, the Company had one customer, a related party, which represented 60% of our revenues, one customer that represented 20% of our revenues, and one customer that represented 10% of our revenues. During the six months ended December 31, 2017, the Company had one customer, a related party, that represented 74% of our revenues, and one customer that represented 10% of our revenues. No other customer represented more than 10% of our revenues during the six months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017.

Segments

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

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (“ASU 2016-02”). ASU 2016-02 requires a lessee to record a right of use asset and a corresponding lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for lessees for capital and operating leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, which allows for a cumulative-effect adjustment in the period of adoption and will not require restatement of prior periods. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of ASU 2016-02 and ASU 2018-11 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.

Management Services Agreement and Related Notes Payable with Related Party

The Company’s Barcode Technology was invented by the founders of Veritec as a product identification system for identification and tracking of parts, components and products mostly in the liquid crystal display (LCD) markets and for secure identification documents, financial cards, medical records and other high security applications. On September 30, 2015, the Company sold all of its assets of its Barcode Technology comprised solely of its intellectual property to The Matthews Group. The Company then entered into a management services agreement with The Matthews Group to manage all facets of the barcode technology operations, on behalf of The Matthews Group, through June 30, 2019. The Matthews Group bears the risk of loss from the barcode operations and has the right to the residual benefits of the barcode operations.

In consideration of the services provided by the Company to The Matthews Group, the Company earns a fee of 20% of all revenues up to May 31, 2017, and 35% of all revenues from June 1, 2017 to June 30, 2019, from the barcode technology operations. During the three and six months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company recorded management fee revenue related to this agreement of $50,885 and $93,241, respectively and $92,516 and $173,493, respectively.

Additionally, pursuant to the management services agreement, all cash flow (all revenues collected less direct costs paid) of the barcode technology operations is retained by the Company as proceeds from unsecured notes payable due The Matthews Group. During the six months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, cash flow loans of $192,590 and $241,590, respectively, were made to the Company at 10% interest per annum and due on demand. At December 31, 2018, cash flow loans of $1,648,766 are due to The Matthews Group (see Note 2).

Advances from Related Parties

From time to time, Ms. Van Tran provides advances to finance the Company’s working capital requirements. As of December 31, 2018 and June 30, 2018, total advances to Ms. Van Tran amounted to $96,110, and have been presented as accounts payable, related party on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The advances are unsecured, non-interest bearing, and due on demand.

Other Transactions with Related Parties

The Company leases its office facilities from Ms. Tran. For the six months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, rental payments to Ms. Van Tran totaled $25,500 and $25,200, respectively.

NOTE 6 – LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

On or about November 13, 2017, David A. Badhwa and Denise a Badhwa (collectively “Plaintiffs”) filed a lawsuit in district court in Hennepin County, Minnesota asserting that the Company breached the terms of a promissory note. Plaintiffs seek repayment on the principal of the promissory note, in the amount of $100,000, $10,000 of which Plaintiffs contend Veritec previously paid, plus interest, collection costs and attorney’s fees. As of May 15, 2018, the date of the last communication on the amount of recovery that Plaintiffs seek, Plaintiffs sought an award or settlement in the amount of $162,990. If Plaintiffs prevail on their claims, the Court could award Plaintiffs the unpaid principal in the amount of $90,000, plus interest at the rate of eight percent (8%) per annum on the unpaid balance, as well as attorney’s fees incurred by Plaintiffs in seeking payment on the promissory note in an amount determined by the Court. An award of attorney’s fees could be significant. Veritec has vigorously defended Plaintiffs claims and has asserted a variety of counterclaims against Plaintiffs. Veritec has also attempted to engage Plaintiffs in settlement discussions, but Plaintiffs have not engaged in meaningful negotiations to resolve the claims in dispute. Management has recorded a liability related to this proceeding that it feels is adequate.

On September 21, 2016, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with an individual who was a former officer of the Company.  The individual in prior years was also issued 500,000 shares of common stock for services.  The Company alleged that the individual used the Company's intellectual property without approval.   Under the terms of the settlement agreement, the individual agreed to relinquish a convertible note payable and unpaid interest aggregating $364,686, and return 500,000 shares of common stock previously issued to him.  In turn, the Company agreed to release and discharge the individual against all claims arising on or prior to the date of the settlement agreement.  As of December 31, 2018, the 500,000 shares have not been relinquished. When the Company receives the shares, it will record a cancellation of shares.

Operating Expenses

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 totaled $135,500 and $149,874, respectively. The decrease in general and administrative expenses was primarily from expense reductions implemented during the period while the Company seeks a bank to sponsor its Prepaid Card programs as discussed above. 

Research and development expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 totaled $0 and $10,780, respectively. The decrease in research and development expenses was primarily from expense reductions implemented during the period while the Company seeks a bank to sponsor its Prepaid Card programs as discussed above. 

Other Income (Expenses)

During the three months ended December 31, 2017, the Company recognized income related to the change in fair value of derivative liabilities that totaled $243,411. No similar activity occurred during the same current year period.

During the three months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, interest expense, totaled $74,284 and $60,674, respectively. The increase was the result of increased notes payable balances as compared to the same period of the prior year.

General and administrative expenses for the six months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 were comparable totaling $313,550 and $313,927, respectively.

Research and development expenses for the six months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 totaled $50 and $19,938, respectively. The decrease in research and development expenses was primarily from expense reductions implemented during the period while the Company seeks a bank to sponsor its Prepaid Card programs as discussed above.

Other Income (Expenses)

During the six months ended December 31, 2017, the Company recognized income related to the change in fair value of derivative liabilities that totaled $706,411. No similar activity occurred during the same current year period.

During the six months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, interest expense, totaled $146,477 and $117,735, respectively. The increase was the result of increased notes payable balances as compared to the same period of the prior year.

Capital Expenditures and Commitments

No capital purchases were made during the six months ended December 31, 2018.

Liquidity

Our cash balance at December 31, 2018 increased to $100,082 as compared to $139,086 at June 30, 2018. The decrease was the result of $231,594 in cash used in operating activities offset by $192,590 in cash provided by financing activities. Net cash used in operations during the six months ended December 31, 2018 was $231,594 compared with $223,747 of net cash used in operations during the same period of the prior year. Cash used in operations during the six months ended December 31, 2018 was primarily due to our net loss in the period of $425,143. Net cash provided by financing activities of $192,590 during the three months ended December 31, 2018 was due to proceeds received from notes payable. During the same period of the prior year, net cash provided by financing activities of $241,590 was from proceeds received from notes payable.

The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. During the six months ended December 31, 2018, the Company incurred a loss from operations of $278,666 and used cash in operating activities of $231,594, and at December 31, 2018, the Company had a working capital deficit of $4,730,760 and a stockholders’ deficiency of $4,885,760. In addition, as of December 31, 2018, the Company is delinquent in payment of $778,554 of its notes payable. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date that the financial statements are issued. In addition, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, in its report on our June 30, 2018 financial statements, has raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is 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 2019 without continued external investment. The Company believes it will require additional funds to continue its operations through fiscal 2019 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.

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.  The Company accounts for stock option and stock warrant grants to employees based on the authoritative guidance provided by the Financial Accounting Standards Board where the value of the award is measured on the date of grant and recognized over the vesting period. The Company accounts for stock option and stock warrant grants to non-employees in accordance with the authoritative guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board where the value of the stock compensation is determined based upon the measurement date 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. Non-employee stock-based compensation charges generally are amortized over the vesting period on a straight-line basis. In certain circumstances where there are no future performance requirements by the non-employee, option or warrant grants are immediately vested and the total stock-based compensation charge is recorded in the period of the measurement date.

The fair value of the Company’s common stock option and warrant grants are estimated using a Black-Scholes option pricing model, which uses certain assumptions related to risk-free interest rates, expected volatility, expected life of the common stock options, and future dividends. Compensation expense is recorded based upon the value derived from the Black-Scholes option pricing model, and based on actual experience. The assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model could materially affect compensation expense recorded in future periods.

Revenue Recognition

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

a. Mobile Banking Revenue

The Company, as a merchant payment processor and a distributor, recognizes revenue from transaction fees charged to cardholders for the use of its issued mobile debit cards. The fees are recognized on a monthly basis after all cardholder transactions have been summarized and reconciled with third party processors.

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

b. Management Fee Revenue

On September 30, 2015, the Company sold all of its assets of its Barcode Technology comprised solely of its intellectual property to The Matthews Group and entered into a management services agreement with The Matthews Group to manage all facets of the barcode technology operations, on behalf of The Matthews Group, through June 30, 2019. The Company earns a fee of 20% of all revenues billed from the barcode technology operations up to May 31, 2017 and 35% of all revenues billed up to June 30, 2019.

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, 2018, 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, 2018.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.

In our Form 10-K at June 30, 2018, 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:

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.

PART II

ITEM 1 - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

On or about November 13, 2017, David A. Badhwa and Denise a Badhwa (collectively “Plaintiffs”) filed a lawsuit in district court in Hennepin County, Minnesota asserting that the Company breached the terms of a promissory note. Plaintiffs seek repayment on the principal of the promissory note, in the amount of $100,000, $10,000 of which Plaintiffs contend Veritec previously paid, plus interest, collection costs and attorney’s fees. As of May 15, 2018, the date of the last communication on the amount of recovery that Plaintiffs seek, Plaintiffs sought an award or settlement in the amount of $162,990. If Plaintiffs prevail on their claims, the Court could award Plaintiffs the unpaid principal in the amount of $90,000, plus interest at the rate of eight percent (8%) per annum on the unpaid balance, as well as attorney’s fees incurred by Plaintiffs in seeking payment on the promissory note in an amount determined by the Court. An award of attorney’s fees could be significant. Veritec has vigorously defended Plaintiffs claims and has asserted a variety of counterclaims against Plaintiffs. Veritec has also attempted to engage Plaintiffs in settlement discussions, but Plaintiffs have not engaged in meaningful negotiations to resolve the claims in dispute. Management has recorded a liability related to this proceeding that it feels is adequate.

On September 21, 2016, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with an individual who was a former officer of the Company.  The individual in prior years was also issued 500,000 shares of common stock for services.  The Company alleged that the individual used the Company's intellectual property without approval.   Under the terms of the settlement agreement, the individual agreed to relinquish a convertible note payable and unpaid interest aggregating $364,686, and return 500,000 shares of common stock previously issued to him.  In turn, the Company agreed to release and discharge the individual against all claims arising on or prior to the date of the settlement agreement.  As of December 31, 2018, the 500,000 shares have not been relinquished. When the Company receives the shares, it will record a cancellation of shares.
