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, and 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, 2017 AND 2016
(UNAUDITED)
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 primarily engaged in the development, sales, and licensing of products and providing services related to its mobile communication and mobile banking solutions. Prior to its sale on September 30, 2015, the Company was also focused on its proprietary two-dimensional matrix symbology (also commonly referred to as “two-dimensional barcodes” or “2D barcodes”).
Mobile Banking Solutions
On January 12, 2009, Veritec formed Veritec Financial Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation, to bring its Mobile Banking Technology, products and related professional services to market. In 2009 through 2016, the Company has had agreements with various banks, including Security First Bank (terminated in October 2010), Palm Desert National Bank (which was later assigned to First California Bank and subsequently Pacific Western Bank that terminated in June 2013), and Central Bank of Kansas City (“CBKC”). Late in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016, the relationship between CBKC and the Company ended and the Company is currently seeking a bank to sponsor its Prepaid Card programs (see below). As a Cardholder Independent Sales Organization, Veritec is able to promote and sell Visa branded card programs. As a Third-Party Servicer, Veritec provides back-end cardholder transaction processing services for Visa branded card programs on behalf of its sponsoring bank. 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.
Mobile Communications Solutions
On February 8, 2017, the Company acquired certain intellectual property (see Note 2). Through the acquisition of the intellectual property and upon completion of software projected by August, 2017, the Company plans to offer customers cloud based mobile communications services for homes and businesses.
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, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending June 30, 2017. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet information as of June 30, 2016 was derived from the Company’s audited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for the year ended June 30, 2016 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on September 26, 2016. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with that report.
9 |
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 nine months ended March 31, 2017, the Company incurred a net loss of $1,107,725 and used cash in operating activities of $894,659, and at March 31, 2017, the Company had a working capital deficit of $4,171,869 and a stockholders’ deficiency of $4,105,897. In addition, as of March 31, 2017, the Company is delinquent in payment of $532,344 of its notes payable and $185,874 of its notes payable-related parties. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern within one year after 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, 2016 financial statements, raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.
The Company believes it will require additional funds to continue its operations through fiscal 2017 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 major 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.
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 Sheets 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.
At March 31, 2017, the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet included the fair value of derivative liabilities of $664,000, which was based on Level 2 measurements. At June 30, 2016, the Company did not have derivative liabilities.
10 |
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company evaluates its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.
In the case of insufficient authorized share capital available to fully settle outstanding contracts, the Company utilizes the earliest inception date sequencing method to prioritize its convertible securities. At each reporting date, the Company reviews its convertible securities to determine their classification is appropriate.
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 three and nine months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, the calculations of basic and diluted loss per share are the same because potential dilutive securities would have an anti-dilutive effect. At March 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 March 31, 2017 and 2016, 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.
As of March 31, | ||||||||
2017 | 2016 | |||||||
Series H Preferred Stock | 10,000 | 10,000 | ||||||
Convertible Notes Payable | 17,533,531 | 7,884,519 | ||||||
Options | 2,500,000 | 2,510,000 | ||||||
Total | 20,043,531 | 10,404,519 |
Concentrations
The Company’s cash balances on deposit with banks are guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000. The Company may be exposed to risk for the amounts of funds held in one bank in excess of the insurance limit. In assessing the risk, the Company’s policy is to maintain cash balances with high quality financial institutions. The Company did not have cash balances in excess of the guarantee during the nine months ended March 31, 2017.
During the three months ended March 31, 2017, the Company had two customers that represented an aggregate of 78% (66% and 12%) of our revenue. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company had three customers that represented an aggregate of 59% (24%, 19% and 16%) of our revenue.
During the nine months ended March 31, 2017, the Company had two customers that represented an aggregate of 65% (53% and 12%) of our revenue. During the nine months ended March 31, 2016, the Company had no customers that accounted for more than 10% of our revenue.
11 |
Foreign Revenues
During the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company had no foreign revenues.
During the nine months ended March 31, 2017, the Company had no foreign revenues. During the nine months ended March 31, 2016, foreign revenues accounted for 36% (11% Taiwan, 10% China, and 15% others) of the Company’s total revenues.
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. Under ASU 2014-09, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services and is recognized in an amount that reflects the consideration which the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. In addition, the standard requires disclosure of the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The FASB has recently issued ASU 2016-08, ASU 2016-10, ASU 2016-11, ASU 2016-12, ASU 2016-20, and ASU 2017-05, all of which clarify certain implementation guidance within ASU 2014-09. 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. The standard can be adopted either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented (full retrospective method), or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the guidance recognized at the date of initial application (the cumulative catch-up transition method). The Company is currently in the process of analyzing the information necessary to determine the impact of adopting this new guidance on its financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. The Company will adopt the provisions of this statement in the first quarter of fiscal 2018.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases. This update will require the recognition of a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability, initially measured at the present value of the lease payments, for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. For operating leases, the asset and liability will be expensed over the lease term on a straight-line basis, with all cash flows included in the operating section of the statement of cash flows. For finance leases, interest on the lease liability will be recognized separately from the amortization of the right-of-use asset in the statement of comprehensive income and the repayment of the principal portion of the lease liability will be classified as a financing activity while the interest component will be included in the operating section of the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-02 is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. Upon adoption, leases will be recognized and measured at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-02 on its financial statements and related disclosures.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, an update to ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations. ASU 2017-01 narrows the definition of a business and provides a framework for making reasonable judgments about whether a transaction involves an asset or a business. ASU 2017-01 clarifies that when substantially all the fair value of the gross assets acquired (or disposed of) is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets, the set is not a business. ASU 2017-01 also requires that a set cannot be considered a business unless it includes, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create output. ASU 2017-01 is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those years, with early adoption permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company early adopted the provisions of ASU 2017-01 on January 1, 2017, and concluded that the acquisition of certain intellectual property in February 2017 (see Note 2) did not meet the definition of a business and was treated as an asset acquisition.
Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB, including its Emerging Issues Task Force, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the Securities and Exchange Commission did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company's present or future financial statements.

NOTE 2 – INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Intangible assets consists of the following at March 31, 2017 and June 30, 2016:
March 31, 2017 | June 30, 2016 | |||||||||||
(a) | Contract commitments | $ | 192,500 | $ | 192,500 | |||||||

Less accumulated amortization | (171,528 | ) | (112,292 | ) | ||||||||
Intangible assets, net | $ | 220,972 | $ | 80,208 |
For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company recorded $27,153 and $59,236, and $16,042 and $48,042, of amortization expense respectively, related to intangible assets which is included in general and administrative expense in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Estimated future amortization expense for intangible assets is as follows: Remainder of June 30, 2017 $32,666; June 30, 2018 $82,750; June 30, 2019 $66,660; and June 30, 2020 $38,896.
(a) On September 30, 2014, the Company acquired certain assets and liabilities of Tangible Payments LLC for $192,500, including a contingent earnout payment of $155,000. The Company assigned $192,500 of the purchase price to contract commitments which are amortized over a three year period. As of March 31, 2017 and June 30, 2016, the unamortized balance of contract commitments was $32,083 and $80,208, respectively. The earnout payment of $155,000 is payable on a monthly basis from the net profits derived from the acquired assets, as defined. From the date of the acquisition and up to March 31, 2017, there was no net profit derived from the acquired assets and accordingly, no payments were made on the earnout. The earnout payment is due in full at such time as the Company receives equity investments aggregating $1.3 million.
(b) On February 8, 2017, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Public Bell, a Delaware corporation, acquired certain intellectual property from Public Bell, Inc., a California corporation and C. Nguyen, its sole shareholder. The intellectual property is related to the development of mobile and Wi-Fi/WiMax software applications. In consideration, the Company agreed to issue 2,000,000 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $200,000 to Nguyen, based on the closing price of the Company’s stock on the date of the transaction. As the assets acquired do not constitute a business, the Company accounted for this as an asset acquisition. Accordingly the Company valued the acquired intellectual property at $200,000 which will be amortized over a two year period. As of March 31, 2017, the unamortized balance of the intellectual property was $188,889. In addition, the Company entered into a five-year employment agreement with Nguyen. The Company agreed to pay Nguyen a base salary of $30,000 per annum and a performance bonus equal to 25% of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Public Bell’s annual net income, as defined, up to $3,000,000. Given the preliminary stage of development of the operations of this subsidiary and the level of uncertainty that exists related to future probability, management has assessed the likelihood of payment under this bonus as being remote. Accordingly, no contingent earnout liability was recorded when the purchase of the intellectual property assets was recorded.

NOTE 4 - DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES
From time to time, the Company issues convertible notes payable with embedded conversion features and options to purchase common stock. Pursuant to the FASB authoritative guidance on determining whether an instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to an entity’s own stock, when there are insufficient authorized shares, the obligation for the exercise of the convertible instrument should be classified as a liability and measured at fair value. During the nine months ended March 31, 2017, the Company determined that there were not sufficient authorized shares of common stock available for issuance upon conversion of certain of its convertible notes. During the nine months ended March 31, 2017, the Company recorded an expense related to fair value of derivative liabilities of $182,000. During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2017, the Company recorded a change in the fair value of the derivative liabilities of $482,000. The conversion feature of the notes is re-measured at the end of every reporting period with the change in value reported in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The derivative liability was valued at the following dates using a Black-Scholes-Merton model with the following assumptions:
March 31, 2017 |
December 31, 2017 | |||||||
Conversion feature: | ||||||||
Risk-free interest rate | 1.5 | % | 0.07 | % | ||||
Expected volatility | 124 | % | 99 | % | ||||
Expected life (in years) | 1 - 2.7 years | 1.2 years | ||||||
Expected dividend yield | — | — | ||||||
Fair Value: | ||||||||
Conversion feature | $ | 664,000 | $ | 182,000 |
The risk-free interest rate was based on rates established by the Federal Reserve Bank. The Company used its own historical stock’s volatility as the estimated volatility. The expected life of the conversion feature of the notes or options was based on the estimated remaining terms of the notes or options, or expected settlement date for notes due on demand or that have matured. The expected dividend yield was based on the fact that the Company has not customarily paid dividends to its holders of common stock in the past and does not expect to pay dividends to holders of its common stock in the future.
NOTE 5 - STOCKHOLDERS’ DEFICIENCY
As of March 31, 2017 and June 30, 2016, 2,145,000 and 145,000 shares of common stock issuable with an aggregate value of $212,500 and $12,500, respectively, have not been issued and are reflected as common shares to be issued in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, respectively.

Mobile Banking Technology uses web-based mobile technology to offer financial cardholders the very best technology in conducting secure financial transactions in real time, protecting personal identity, and financial account security. Mobile Banking Technology revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 were $35,790 and $59,803, respectively. The decrease in Mobile Banking Technology revenues was due to both the conclusion of certain long term contracts during the prior year and the Company not having a bank to sponsor its mobile banking solutions during the three months ended March 31, 2017 (see Note 1 to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).
Other Revenue, related party
Effective October 1, 2015, the Company entered into a management services agreement with the Matthews Group for which the Company will manage its previous barcode technology business, on behalf of the Matthews Group, from October 1, 2015 to May 30, 2017. Per the terms of the management services agreement, the Company earned 20% of all revenues, or $68,461 and $16,098, from the barcode technology business during the three month ended March 31, 2017, and 2016, respectively.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 were comparable at $54,222 and $52,722, respectively.
Operating Expenses
General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 were $193,922 compared to $170,451, respectively. The increase in general and administrative expenses was realized from the creation and operation of a new division, Public Bell, Inc. (see Note 1 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements). No similar activity occurred during the same period of the prior year.
Sales and marketing expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 were $57,026 compared to $0, respectively. The increase in sales and marketing expenses was primarily from the recording of a $50,000 expense relating to the signing of an Exclusive Products Provider Agreement during the period (see Note 7 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements). No similar activity occurred during the same period of the prior year.

No similar activity occurred during the same period of the prior year.
Other Expenses
For the three months ended March 31, 2017, the Company recognized an expense related to the fair value of derivatives liabilities of $482,000. No similar activity occurred during the same period of the prior year.
Interest expense and financing costs for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 were $74,525 and $51,658, respectively. The increase was primarily a result of increased debt levels offset by a reduction in non-cash expense relating to the beneficial conversion feature of convertible notes payables during the three months ended March 31, 2017 as compared to the same period of the prior year.

Cost of Sales
Cost of sales for the nine months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, totaled $203,082 and $250,310, respectively. The decrease in cost of sales was primarily from expense reductions, including bank sponsor fees, associated with our decline in Mobile Banking Technology revenues discussed above, as compared to the same period of the prior year.
Operating Expenses
General and administrative expenses for the nine months ended March 31, 2017 were $550,922 compared to $567,468 for nine months ended March 31, 2016. The decrease in general and administrative expenses was primarily from expense reductions implemented during the period due to our reduction in Mobile Banking Technology revenues discussed above, offset by an increase in general and administrative expenses realized from the creation and operation of its new division, Public Bell, Inc. (See Note 1 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements). No similar activity occurred during the same period of the prior year.
Sales and marketing expenses for the nine months ended March 31, 2017 were $62,586 compared to $16,641 for nine months ended March 31, 2016. The increase in sales and marketing expenses was primarily from the recording of a $50,000 expense relating to an Exclusive Products Provider Agreement (See Note 9 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements). No similar activity occurred during the same period of the prior year.
Research and development expenses for the nine months ended March 31, 2017 were $87,491 compared to $59,064 for nine months ended March 31, 2016. The increase in expenses was primarily related to software development expenses relating to the development of assets acquired during the period (see Note 2 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).
Other Income (Expenses)
During the nine months ended March 31, 2017, the Company recorded a gain on settlement of $364,690 (see Note 3 to Consolidated Financial Statements). No similar activity occurred during the same period of the prior year.
During the nine months ended March 31, 2017, the Company recognized an expense related to the fair value of derivatives liabilities of $664,000. No similar activity occurred during the same period of the prior year.
Interest expense and financing costs for the nine months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, was $168,121 and $770,758, respectively. The decrease was the result of certain non-cash financing costs that occurred during the prior year for which no similar activity occurred during the nine months ended March 31, 2017.
Capital Expenditures and Commitments
No capital purchases were made during the nine months ended March 31, 2017.
Liquidity
Our cash balance at March 31, 2017 decreased to $53,400 as compared to $60,953 at June 30, 2016. The decrease was the result of $894,659 in cash used in operating activities offset by $887,106 in cash provided by financing activities. Net cash used in operations during the nine months ended March 31, 2017 was $894,659 compared with $319,142 of net cash used in operations during the same period of the prior year. Cash used in operations during the nine months ended March 31, 2017 was primarily due to our net loss in the period of $1,107,725. Net cash provided by financing activities of $887,106 during the nine months ended March 31, 2017 was due to proceeds received from notes payable of $887,106. During the same period of the prior year, net cash provided by financing activities of $563,246 was from proceeds received from notes payable of $565,746 offset by payments of $2,500 on 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 nine months ended March 31, 2017, the Company used cash in operating activities of $894,659, and at March 31, 2017, the Company had a working capital deficit of $4,171,869 and a stockholders’ deficiency of $4,105,897. In addition, as of March 31, 2017, the Company is delinquent in payment of $718,218 of its notes payable. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. In addition, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, in its report on our June 30, 2016 financial statements, has raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.
The Company believes its cash and forecasted cash flow from operations will not be sufficient to continue operations through fiscal 2017 without continued external investment. The Company believes it will require additional funds to continue its operations through fiscal 2017 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.
Commitments and Contractual Obligations
The Company has one annual lease commitment of $51,400 for the corporate office building, which is leased from Ms. Tran, our chief executive officer, which expired on June 30, 2015, and was automatically extended until June 30, 2017. The commitment is for the corporate offices at 2445 Winnetka Avenue North, Golden Valley, Minnesota. As of March 31, 2017, the total amount of the remaining one-year lease commitment is $12,750.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do 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. 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
The Company accounts for revenue recognition in accordance with guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board. Revenues for the Company are classified into barcode technology revenue and mobile banking technology revenue.
Revenues from licenses and identification cards are recognized when the product is shipped, the Company no longer has any service or other continuing obligations, and collection is reasonably assured. The process typically begins with a customer purchase order detailing its 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, 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 other products 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 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 March 31, 2017, 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, 2016.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.
In our Form 10-K at June 30, 2016, 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.
