ITEM 11. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

Summary

 

The Company is currently solely engaged in the development, marketing, sales and licensing of products and rendering of professional services related to its mobile banking prepaid debit card solutions. The Company was also previously engaged in its proprietary two-dimensional matrix symbology technology (also commonly referred to as “two-dimensional barcodes”, “2D barcodes”, or “2D barcodes”“Barcode Technology”) which it sold on September 30, 2015.2015 to The Matthews Group, a related party. The Company subsequently entered into a management services agreement with The Matthews Group to manage all facets of The Matthews Group’s Barcode Technology operations (see Note 8 of the accompanying consolidated financial statements).

 

In this Form 10-K, the Company’s two-dimensional matrix symbology technology will hereafter be referred to as the Company’s “Barcode Technology”, and the Company’s mobile software banking technology will hereafter be referred to as its “Mobile Banking Technology”. The Mobile Banking Technology is used to offer Prepaid Card Programs to sponsor banks and approved applicants/cardholders. These programs may also be referred to as the MTC™ card or the Blinx ON-OFF™ Prepaid Card programs.

 

Company History

 

Veritec, Inc. was incorporated in the State of Nevada on September 8, 1982 for the purpose of development, marketing and sales of a line of microprocessor based encoding and decoding system products that utilize matrix symbology technology, a two-dimensional barcode technology originally invented by the founders of Veritec under United States patents 4,924,078, 5,331,176, 5,612,524 and 7,159,780.

In 1995, an involuntary proceeding under Chapter 7 of the United States Bankruptcy Code was commenced against Veritec. The proceeding was subsequently converted to a Chapter 11 proceeding and a plan of reorganization was confirmed on April 23, 1997. The Chapter 11 plan was successfully completed and the proceeding was closed on October 13, 1999.

In November 2003, Veritec formed a wholly owned subsidiary, Vcode, Inc., to which it assigned its United States patents 4,924,078, 5,331,176 and 5,612,524, together with all corresponding patent applications, foreign patents, foreign patent applications, and all continuations, continuations in part, divisions, extensions, renewals, reissues and re-examinations. Vcode in turn entered into an Exclusive License Agreement with VData LLC (VData), an Illinois limited liability company unrelated to Veritec.

3

The purpose of the incorporation of Vcode and the Exclusive Licensing Agreement was to allow VData to pursue enforcement and licensing of the patents against parties who wrongfully exploit the technology of such patents. VData is the wholly owned subsidiary of Acacia Research Corporation (NASDAQ: ACTG). The Exclusive License Agreement provided that all expenses related to the enforcement and licensing of the patents will be the responsibility of VData, with the parties sharing in the net proceeds, as specified under the terms of the agreement, arising from enforcement or licensing of the patents. In November 2008, VData and Vcode mutually agreed to terminate the Exclusive License Agreement between the two companies. As a result of the termination of the Exclusive License Agreement and conclusion of all lawsuits and enforcement activities by VData, infringement revenue has ceased.

In February 2005, an adverse ruling was made in the arbitration proceeding against Veritec in favor of Mitsubishi. This ruling compelled Veritec to file a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court (Bankruptcy Court) for the District of Minnesota on February 28, 2005. After reaching an agreement with Mitsubishi and other creditors, in April 2006, Veritec’s Third Amended Plan of Reorganization was confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court. On August 8, 2006, the Bankruptcy Court entered an Order and Final Decree and closed the Chapter 11 case. In connection with the settlement with Mitsubishi, Veritec obtained a license to certain Mitsubishi EDAC technology and Veritec granted Mitsubishi a license to Veritec’s proprietary VeriCode® Barcode Technology software.

Pursuant to an April 27, 2007 agreement between Veritec and RBA International, Inc. (“RBA”), Veritec acquired from RBA the source code, documentation and software to RBA’s Java and IVR software (used for the RBA banking system). In furtherance of such agreement, RBA granted Veritec a perpetual royalty-free non-exclusive worldwide license to use, modify and distribute such software, without restriction, to any existing or future customers. Veritec’s development under this license, as well as Veritec’s independent development of its own mobile banking applications and components, and integration of such items comprises Veritec’s Mobile Banking Technology.

On January 12, 2009, Veritec formed a wholly owned subsidiary, Veritec Financial Systems, Inc., 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 wasis able to promote and sell Visa brandedVisa-branded card programs. As a Third-Party Servicer, Veritec providedprovides back-end cardholder transaction processing services for Visa brandedVisa-branded card programs on behalf of Security First Bank. Asits sponsoring bank. Veritec has a portfolio of October 2010 the Company’s registrationfive United States and eight foreign patents. In addition, we have seven U.S. and twenty-eight foreign pending patent applications. Veritec has had agreements with Security First Bank terminated. As of April 2011, the Company signed an ISO and processor agreement with Palm Desert National Bank (which was later assigned to First California Bank) to market and process the Company’s Visa branded card program on behalf of the bank.

The program was implemented at First California Bank (FCB) in June, 2011. The blinx On-Off brand was introduced as part of the implementation, at FCB. Going forward, accounts would be issued as blinx ON-OFF™ branded cards under First California Bank. In 2013 First California Bank was acquired by Pacific Western Bank (PWB) in its entirety. PWB decided to exit the Prepaid Card sponsorship business and notified all of its Prepaid Card Program Managers, including Veritec that their bank sponsorship agreements were terminated and the programs would be closed by the end of 2013. PWB provided Veritec several references tovarious banks that were interested in sponsoring Prepaid Card programs such as Veritec’s blinx ON-OFF™ program including Central Bank of Kansas City (CBKC). Veritec entered into discussions with CBKC about sponsoring the Veritec program and a sponsorship agreement was reached between Veritec and CBKC in October 2013. The Visa and First Data Payment Networks approved the bank sponsorship change in November, 2013. Unexpected regulatory delays to the transfer process caused PWB to extend the program closure date to February 28, 2014. The transfer and transition of the blinx ON-OFF™ Prepaid Card program from PWB to CBKC was completed on February 5, 2014. The Veritec blinx ON-OFF™ Prepaid Card Program became live at CBKC on that date. Late in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016, the relationship between CBKC and the Company ended. The Company ispast andis currently seeking a bank to sponsor its Prepaid Card programs.

 

The Veritec Prepaid Card Program provides full services to the sponsor bank. These services include program management, promotion and marketing, application processing, account activation, compliance management, fraud monitoring, accounts reconciliation and dispute resolution. Veritec provides cardholders with automated and live agent customer service, full disclosures, an online account management portal, monthly statements, convenient deposit options, global access to PIN and Signature transactions, and, ATM withdrawals through the Visa and First Data/Star Networks.

On September 30, 2014, Veritec ("Buyer"), and Tangible Payments LLC ("Seller"), a Maryland Limited Liability Company, entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the "Asset Purchase Agreement") pursuant to which Veritec acquired certain assets and liabilities of the Tangible Payments LLC. Tangible Payments 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 with its payment gateway solution eliminates costs and reduces deployment time.

On September 30, 2015, the Company sold all of its assets of its Barcode Technology to The Matthews Group, a related party, which was comprised solely of its intellectual property. The sale allows the Company to focus its efforts solely on its Mobile Banking Technology.

 

Our Products and Solutions

I. Mobile Banking Technology

 

The Company believes that its Mobile Banking Technology platform and its blinx On-Off™ debit card and blinxPay™ mobile wallet programs are a significant advance in mobile banking and close loop/open loop debit technology and is capable of bringing significant value to card issuing and sponsoring organizations, whether they be commercial or government.

  

(a)MTC™ Debit Card - Visa® Prepaid Card Programs

 

In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2009, the Company announced the release of its Mobile Toggle Card (MTC™) Program on the Company’s mobile banking software platform under the sponsorship of Security First Bank.a sponsoring bank. Veritec’s mobile banking software platform is a debit based, pre-paid and gift card solution that is licensed by Veritec’s wholly owned subsidiary, Veritec Financial Systems, Inc., to debit card issuers and sponsoring organizations. Under the MTC™ Program, card issuers and sponsors may provide the MTC™ branded debit or gift cards to individuals with and without demand deposit accounts (e.g., the latter the “under-banked”). The MTC™ card may be part of a Visa® branded program and, as such, the cards are accepted anywhere in the world that Visa cards are accepted.

 

With an MTC™ card, the cardholders are empowered to combat unpermitted and fraudulent use of their debit cards by “toggling” their cards “on” and “off” with their mobile phones. Cardholders no longer have to completely rely on their card issuers to monitor possible fraudulent activity on their accounts. Cardholders can now de-activate their cards themselves, in real time,real-time, any time they choose to do so. In addition to this toggling feature, cardholders may apply for their cards online, arrange for direct deposits to be made to their cards, and transfer money to their card from another account. Cardholders may also elect to receive various alerts on their mobile phones about activity on their card. In the first quarter of fiscal year 2010, the Company began accepting applications for the MTC™ card from individual applicants and issuing live Visa® branded debit cards under the MTC Mobile Toggle Card Program.

II. Barcode Technology (Sold September 30, 2015)

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 Mobile Banking Technology.

Intellectual Property Rights

 

The Company was founded upon its intellectual property on its belief that its intellectual property will give the Company a commercial advantage in the global marketplace. The Company relies on patent, trade secret, copyright and trademark law, as well as the company’s contractual terms with its customers, to define, maintain and enforce the Company’s intellectual property rights in its Mobile Banking Technology and other technologies and relationships.

 

The Company has a portfolio of seven United States and eight foreign patents. In addition, we have three U.S. and eight foreign pending patent applications.

 

A significant amount of the Company’s intellectual property takes the form of trade secrets and copyrighted works of authorship. The Company treats the source code to its Mobile Banking Technology as trade secrets, and its licensed software applications are copyrightable subject matter.

  

We have a portfolio of registered and pending trademarks in the U.S. and foreign jurisdictions, including registrations for the marks “VSCode®” and “VeriCode®.. The Company uses “Veritec” as a trade marktrademark and service mark, as well as it serving as the Company’s trade name.

Competition

 

Our Mobile Banking Technology competes with other independent sales organizations and third party services of Visa brandedVisa-branded card programs, including TransCash Corporation, Ready Debit Card by MetaBank, Millenium Advantage Card by New Millenium Bank, and Wired Plastic by Bancorp Bank. The Company believes, however, that there are very few companies that have the Company’s collective attributes of (1) being an independent sales organization of Visa brandedVisa-branded and non-branded prepaid card programs, (2) being a third party servicer (e.g., back end processor) for banks issuing Visa brandedVisa-branded and non-branded prepaid card programs, (3) being the developer, marketer and licensor of the mobile banking platform on which Visa brandedVisa-branded and non-branded card program cardholder transactions take place, and (4) having a mobile banking platform that enables real-time transaction processing and enabling cardholders to manage their accounts by enabling cardholders to toggle their cards and their website accounts on and off via their mobile phones.

 

Employees

 

As of June 30, 2017,2020, the Company employed threetwo employees and nine independent contractor consultants.

COVID-19 Considerations

 

The Company is subject to risks and uncertainties as a smaller reporting company,result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s business is highly uncertain and difficult to predict, as the responses that the Company, other businesses and governments are taking continue to evolve. Furthermore, capital markets and economies worldwide have also been negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, and it is possible that the COVID-19 pandemic could cause a local, national and/or global economic recession. Policymakers around the globe have responded with fiscal policy actions to support the economy as a whole, but it is presently unknown whether and to what extent further fiscal actions will continue. The magnitude and overall effectiveness of these actions remain uncertain.

The Company believes that its Mobile Banking revenues have been negatively affected due to the reduction in customer spending, which negatively impacts the amount of fees earned by the Company from its customers. The Company is also currently experiencing a decline in revenues earned under the management services agreement with The Matthews Group, as The Matthews Group’s customer orders have been negatively impacted by the effects of COVID-19. The severity of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s business will continue to depend on a number of factors, including, but not requiredlimited to, provide disclosure under this Item 6.the duration and severity of the pandemic and the extent and severity of the impact on the Company’s customers, service providers and suppliers, all of which are uncertain and cannot be predicted. As of the date of issuance of the Company’s financial statements, the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic may in the future materially impact the Company’s financial condition, liquidity or results of operations is uncertain.

The accompanying 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 year ended June 30, 2017,2020, the Company incurred a loss of $576,000 and used cash in operating activities of $1,030,580,$380,000, and at June 30, 2017,2020, the Company had a working capital deficit of $4,429,021 and a stockholders’ deficiency of $4,567,979.$5,849,000. In addition, as of June 30, 2017,2020, the Company is delinquent in payment of $726,838$682,000 of its notes payable. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.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, 20172020 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 20182021 without continued external investment. The Company believes it will require additional funds to continue its operations through fiscal 20182021 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 and Estimates

Management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates, including those related to impairment of long-lived assets, including finite lived intangible assets, accrued liabilities, fair value of warrant derivatives and certain expenses. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Our significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 1 to our financial statements. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, and the related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities.

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 stock options is determined utilizing the Company’s common stock option and warrant grants are estimated using a Black-Scholes option pricingoption-pricing model, which uses certain assumptions related tois affected by several variables, including the risk-free interest rates,rate, the expected volatility,dividend yield, the expected life of the equity award, the exercise price of the stock option as compared to the fair market value of the common stock options,on the grant date and future dividends.

The Company recognized revenues from perpetual licenses and related identification cards when the product was shipped, the Company no longer had any service or other continuing obligations, and collection was reasonably assured. The process typically began with a customer purchase order detailing its specifications so the Company could import its software into the customer's hardware. Once importation is completed, if the customer only wished to purchase a license, the Company typically transmitted the software to the customer via the Internet. Revenue was recognized at that point. If the customer requested both license and hardware, once the software was imported into the hardware and the process was complete, the product was shipped, and revenue was recognized at time of shipment. Once the software and/or other products was either shipped or transmitted, the customers did not have a right of refusal or return.2021.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Veritec, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of June 30, 20172020 and 2016, and2019, the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ deficiency, and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements areended, and the responsibility ofrelated notes (collectively referred to as the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States)“financial statements”). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Veritec, Inc. and Subsidiariesthe Company as of June 30, 20172020 and 2016,2019, and the consolidated results of theirits operations and theirits cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Going Concern

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has had recurring losses from operations and had a stockholders’ deficiency as of June 30, 2017.2020. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regards to these matters are also described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

/s/ Weinberg & Company, P.A.Basis for Opinion

 

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

VERITEC, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE FISCAL YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 20172020 AND 20162019

 

NOTE 1 - OPERATIONS 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 CompanyVeritec is primarily engaged in the development, sales, and licensing of products and providing services related to its mobile banking solutions.

 

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 brandedVisa-branded card programs. As a Third-Party Servicer, Veritec provides back-end cardholder transaction processing services for Visa brandedVisa-branded card programs on behalf of its sponsoring bank. The CompanyVeritec 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. Veritec has had agreements with various banks in the past and is currently seeking a bank to sponsor its Prepaid Card programs.

On December 31, 2015, the Company sold all of its assets of its barcode technology, which was comprised solely of its intellectual property, to The Matthews Group, a related party (see Note 8). The Company subsequently entered into a management services agreement with The Matthews Group to manage all facets of the barcode technology operations through June 30, 2021. The Company earns a fee of 35% of all revenues billed up to June 30, 2021, and recognizes management fee revenue as services are performed. 

COVID-19 Considerations

The Company is subject to risks and uncertainties as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s business is highly uncertain and difficult to predict, as the responses that the Company, other businesses and governments are taking continue to evolve. Furthermore, capital markets and economies worldwide have also been negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, and it is possible that the COVID-19 pandemic could cause a local, national and/or global economic recession. Policymakers around the globe have responded with fiscal policy actions to support the economy as a whole, but it is presently unknown whether and to what extent further fiscal actions will continue. The magnitude and overall effectiveness of these actions remain uncertain.

The Company believes that its Mobile Banking revenues have been negatively affected due to the reduction in customer spending, which negatively impacts the amount of fees earned by the Company from its customers. The Company is also currently experiencing a decline in revenues earned under the management services agreement with The Matthews Group, as The Matthews Group’s customer orders have been negatively impacted by the effects of COVID-19. The severity of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s business will continue to depend on a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the duration and severity of the pandemic and the extent and severity of the impact on the Company’s customers, service providers and suppliers, all of which are uncertain and cannot be predicted. As of the date of issuance of the Company’s financial statements, the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic may in the future materially impact the Company’s financial condition, liquidity or results of operations is uncertain.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries.wholly-owned subsidiaries Veritec Financial Systems, Inc., Tangible Payment Systems, Inc., and Public Bell, Inc. (collectively the “Company”). Intercompany transactions and balances were eliminated in consolidation.

 

F-6

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of 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 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 livedlong-lived assets, accruals for potential liabilities, assumptions made in valuing stock instruments issued for services, and valuation of deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and cash equivalents

Investments with original maturities of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents. The Company held no cash equivalents as of June 30, 2020 and 2019.

Accounts Receivable

 

The Company sells to domestic and foreign companies and grants uncollateralized credit to customers but requires deposits on unique orders. Management periodically reviews its accounts receivable and provides an allowance for doubtful accounts after analyzing the age of the receivable, payment history and prior experience with the customer. The estimated loss that management believes is probable is included in the allowance for doubtful accounts.

While the ultimate loss may differ, management believes that any additional loss will not have a material impact on the Company's financial position. Due to uncertainties in the settlement process, however, it is at least reasonably possible that management's estimate will change during the near term. Based on management’s assessment, no allowance for doubtful accounts was considered necessary at June 30, 2020, or 2019. 

 

ConcentrationsRevenue Recognition

 

During the year ended June 30, 2017, the Company had one customer, a related party, that represented 53% of our revenues and one customer that represented 14% of our revenues. No other customer represented more than 10% of our revenues.

During the year ended June 30, 2016, the Company had one customer, a related party, that represented 37% of our revenues and one customer that represented 10% of our revenues. No other customer represented more than 10% of our revenues.

19

During the year ended June 30, 2017, the Company had no foreign revenues. During the year ended June 30, 2016, foreign revenues accounted for 19% (6% Korea, 8% Taiwan and 5% others) of the Company’s total revenues.

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 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 June 30, 2017, the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet included the fair value of derivative liabilities of $728,000, which was based on Level 2 measurements. At June 30, 2016, the Company did not have derivative liabilities.

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 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.

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 mobile banking technology, management fee revenue and barcodemobile banking technology.

 

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASC 606”). 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.

a. Mobile Banking Technology 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, theThe Company has 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.Other Revenue, Management Fee Revenue- Related Party

 

On September 30, 2015, the Company sold all of its assets of its Barcode Technology, which was comprised solely of its intellectual property, to The Matthews Group (see(a related party, see Note 9) and. The Company subsequently 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 July 31, 2018.June 30, 2021. The Company earnsearned 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 July 31, 2018.June 30, 2020. The Company recognizes management fee revenue as services are performed.

The Company recognized revenues from perpetual licenses andUnited States of America. 

Other revenue, management fee - related identification cards when the product was shipped, the Company no longer had any service or other continuing obligations, and collection was reasonably assured. The process typically began with a customer purchase order detailing its specifications so the Company could import its software into the customer's hardware. Once importation is completed, if the customer only wished to purchase a license, the Company typically transmitted the software to the customer via the Internet. Revenue was recognized at that point. If the customer requested both license and hardware, once the software was imported into the hardware and the process was complete, the product was shipped, andparty revenue was recognized at time of shipment. Once$338,000 and $187,000 for the software and/or other products was either shipped or transmitted, the customers did not have a right of refusal or return.

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 stock outstanding plus the number of additional common stock that would have been outstanding if all dilutive potential common stock had been issued, using the treasury stock method. Potential common stock are excluded from the computation as their effect is antidilutive.

For the years ended June 30, 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.

As of June 30, 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.

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 (FASB) 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 FASB 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.

21

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.

Intangible Assets

The Company accounts for intangible assets in accordance with the authoritative guidance issued by the FASB. Intangibles are valued at their fair market value and are amortized taking into account the character of the acquired intangible asset and the expected period of benefit. The Company evaluates intangible assets for impairment, at a minimum, on an annual basis and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable from its estimated undiscounted future cash flows. Recoverability of intangible assets is measured by comparing their net book value to the related projected undiscounted cash flows from these assets, considering a number of factors, including past operating results, budgets, economic projections, market trends and product development cycles. If the net book value of the asset exceeds the related undiscounted cash flows, the asset is considered impaired, and a second test is performed to measure the amount of impairment loss. 

At June 30, 2017, the intangibles assets of $16,042 relates to our acquisition of Tangible Payments LLC during fiscal year 2016 (see Note 3). Management believes there were no indications of impairment based on management’s assessment of these assets at June 30, 2017. Factors we consider important that could trigger an impairment review include significant underperformance relative to historical or projected future operating results, significant changes in the manner of the use of our assets or the strategy for our overall business, and significant negative industry or economic trends. If current economic conditions worsen causing decreased revenues and increased costs, we may have to record an impairment to our intangible assets.

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences, and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

Research and Development

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 stock outstanding plus the number of additional common stock that would have been outstanding if all dilutive potential common stock had been issued, using the treasury stock method. 

For the years ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, the calculations of basic and diluted loss per share are the same because potential dilutive securities would have an anti-dilutive effect.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company periodically issues stock-based compensation to officers, directors, contractors and consultants for services rendered. Such issuances vest and expire according to terms established at the issuance date.

Stock-based payments to officers, directors, employees, and for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees, which include grants of employee stock options, are recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values in accordance with Topic 718. Stock option grants, which are generally time vested, will be measured at the grant date fair value and charged to operations on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. The fair value of stock options is determined utilizing the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, which is affected by several variables, including the risk-free interest rate, the expected dividend yield, the expected life of the equity award, the exercise price of the stock option as compared to the fair market value of the common stock on the grant date and the estimated volatility of the common stock over the term of the equity award.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company determines the fair value of its assets and liabilities based on the exchange price in U.S. dollars that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The Company uses a fair value hierarchy with three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, to measure fair value:

Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 — Inputs, other than Level 1, that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The carrying amounts of financial instruments such as cash, accounts receivable, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities, approximate the related fair values due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. The carrying values of notes payable approximate their fair values due to the fact that the interest rates on these obligations are based on prevailing market interest rates.

Concentrations

During the year ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company had one customer, a related party, that represented 77% and 61% of our revenues, respectively. No other customer represented more than 10% of our revenues.

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

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

 

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 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, and ASU 2016-20 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 FebruaryJune 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases2016-13, Credit Losses - Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASC 326”). ASU 2016-02 requiresThe standard significantly changes how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets, including accounts and notes receivables. The standard will replace today’s “incurred loss” approach with an “expected loss” model, under which companies will recognize allowances based on expected rather than incurred losses. Entities will apply the standard’s provisions as a lesseecumulative-effect adjustment to record a rightretained earnings as of use asset and a corresponding lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. ASU 2016-02beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. As small business filer, the standard will be effective for allus for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. 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 period presented in the financial statements.2022. The Company is currently evaluatingassessing the expected impact that theof adopting this standard could have on its financial statements and related disclosures.

22

In July 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-11, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260); Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480); Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): (Part I) Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features, (Part II) Replacement of the Indefinite Deferral for Mandatorily Redeemable Financial Instruments of Certain Nonpublic Entities and Certain Mandatorily Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests with a Scope Exception. ASU 2017-11 allows companies to exclude a down round feature when determining whether a financial instrument (or embedded conversion feature) is considered indexed to the entity’s own stock. As a result, financial instruments (or embedded conversion features) with down round features may no longer be required to be accounted for as derivative liabilities. A company will recognize the value of a down round feature only when it is triggered and the strike price has been adjusted downward. For equity-classified freestanding financial instruments, an entity will treat the value of the effect of the down round as a dividend and a reduction of income available to common shareholders in computing basic earnings per share. For convertible instruments with embedded conversion features containing down round provisions, entities will recognize the value of the down round as a beneficial conversion discount to be amortized to earnings. The guidance in ASU 2017-11 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, and the guidance is to be applied using a full or modified retrospective approach. The adoption of ASU 2017-11 is expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements and related disclosures because derivative liabilities from financial instruments (or embedded conversion features) that have down round features will be reclassified from liabilities to additional paid-in capital, effective as of the beginning of the fiscal year.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 financial statements.

 

NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN

 

The accompanying 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 year ended June 30, 2017,2020, the Company recorded a loss of $576,000, used cash in operating activities of $1,030,580,$380,000, and at June 30, 2017,2020, the Company had a working capital deficit of $4,429,021 and a stockholders’ deficiency of $4,567,979.$5,849,000. In addition, as of June 30, 2017,2020, the Company is delinquent in payment of $726,838$682,000 of its notes payable. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. In addition,concern within one year of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, in its report on our June 30, 2017date that the financial statements has raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.are issued. 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 20182021 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 consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from this uncertainty.

 

NOTE 3 – INTANGIBLE ASSETS AND CONTINGENT–CONTINGENT EARNOUT LIABILITY

 

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 the Tangible Payments LLC. A portion of the purchase price for Tangible Payments LLC developed online payment technology that encrypts sensitive information securely between customers and merchants during online transactions.

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.$155,000. 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 $1,300,000. For the years ended June 30, 20172020 and 2016,2019, there was no net profit derived from the acquired assets, and accordingly,the Company had not yet received the required equity investments. Accordingly, no payments were made on the earnout.

 

The Company assigned $192,500 of the purchase price to contract commitments which will be amortized over a three year period. For the years ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company recorded $64,166 and $64,167 of amortization expense related to this intangible which is included in general and administrative expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Total remaining balance of amortization expense of $16,042 was expensed-in-full during the three months ended September 30, 2017.

NOTE 5 - 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 year ended June 30, 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. Based on this, the Company recorded derivative liabilities of $182,000 upon the issuance of certain convertible notes (see Note 4). Subsequent to this recording and through June 30, 2017, the Company recorded a change in the fair value of the derivative liabilities of $546,000. At June 30, 2017, total derivative liabilities were $728,000. The conversion feature of the notes is re-measured at the end of every reporting period with the change in value reported in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

25

The derivative liability was valued at the following dates using a Black-Scholes-Merton model with the following assumptions:

  

 

June 30,

2017

 

July 11,

2016 to

December 31, 2016 (dates of inception)

Conversion feature:        
Risk-free interest rate  1.5%  0.07%
Expected volatility  179%  99% to 124% 
Expected life (in years)  1 - 2.5 years   1-1.5 years 
Expected dividend yield  —     —   
Fair Value:        
Conversion feature $728,000  $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.

The Company has provided a valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets at June 30, 20172020 and 20162019 to reduce such asset to zero, since there is no assurance that the Company will generate future taxable income to utilize such asset. Management will review this valuation allowance requirement periodically and make adjustments as warranted. The net change in the valuation allowance for the year ended June 30, 20172020, was an increase of $315,000.$151,000.

 

Veritec has net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $11,664,000$13,162,000 million for federal purposes available to offset future taxable income that expireexpires in varying amounts through 2035.2040. The ability to utilize the net operating loss carry forwardscarryforwards could be limited by Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code which limits their use if there is a change in control (generally a greater than 50% change in ownership). The Company is subject to examination by tax authorities for all years for which a loss carry forwardcarryforward is utilized in subsequent periods.

 

The Company follows FASB guidelines that address the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under this guidance, we may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. This guidance also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest, and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods and requires increased disclosures. As of June 30, 20172019 and 2016,2018, the Company did not have a liability for unrecognized tax benefits, and no adjustment was required at adoption.

   

The Company’s policy is to record interest and penalties on uncertain tax provisions as income tax expense. As of June 30, 20172020 and 2016,2019, the Company has no accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions.

During the year ended June 30, 20172020 and 2016,2019, the Company recorded management fee revenue related to this agreement of $172,930$338,000 and $69,135,$187,000, respectively. Pursuant

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 yearyears ended June 30, 20172020 and 2016,2019, cash flow loans of $538,820$517,000 and $248,396,$377,000, respectively, were made to the Company at 10% interest per annum and due on demand.

The Company recorded the $452,770 in interest expense and additional paid in capital.

On September 28, 2015, the Company agreed to replace a convertible note payable for $200,000 due to The Matthews Group that was in default (the original note) with another convertible note payable for $200,000 due to The Matthews Group (the replacement note).

Managements’ Evaluation of Disclosure Controlsdisclosure controls and Proceduresprocedures

 

We maintainBased upon an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures performed by our Chief Executive Officer as of the end of the period covered by this report, our Chief Executive Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures have not been effective as a result of a weakness in the design of internal control over financial reporting identified below.

As used herein, “disclosure controls and procedures” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e)mean controls and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Actother procedures of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”),our company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’sCommission’s rules and forms,forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that such information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired objectives, and we necessarily are required to apply our judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures.

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this report. It was concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were not effective, because certain deficiencies involving internal control over financial reporting constituted material weaknesses, as identified below. The material weaknesses identified did not result in the restatement of any previously reported financial statements or any other related financial disclosures, nor does management believe that it had any effect on the accuracy of our financial statements for the current reporting period.

 

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Our managementManagement is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in RulesExchange Act Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act. Our internal control over financial reporting is a process, under the supervisionSecurities Exchange Act of our1934. Our Chief Executive Officer and Officer/Chief Financial Officer, designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of our financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Our internal control over financial reporting include those policies and procedures that:

pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect our transactions and dispositions of our assets;

provide reasonable assurance that our transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of our financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and our directors; and

provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief FinancialAccounting Officer conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting usingbased on the criteria set forthframework in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework.(“COSO”). Based on itsmanagement’s evaluation ourunder the framework, management has concluded that there areour internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of June 30, 2020.

We identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of control deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

The material weaknesses relateprimarily attributable to lack of proper financial statement closing procedures, limited oversight from our audit committee on the external financial reporting process and internal control over financial reporting and(i) lack of segregation of duties. Underincompatible duties; and (ii) insufficient Board of Directors representation. These weaknesses are due to our inadequate staffing during the period covered by this report and our lack of working capital to hire additional staff. Management has retained an outside, independent financial consultant to record and review all financial data, as well as prepare our financial reports, in order to mitigate this weakness. Although management will periodically re-evaluate this situation, at this point it considers that the risk associated with such lack of segregation of duties issues, our Chief Financial Officer was the sole preparer of the financial statements and periodic SEC reports with limited separate independent detailed review to prevent material errors.  Also the Chief Executive Officer has had authority to enter into significant contracts, as well as authority to sign checks, which could result in material fraud.

31

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:

In order to mitigate these material weaknesses to the fullest extent possible, the Company has assigned its audit committee with oversight responsibilities. Financial statements, periodic SEC reports and monthly bank statement and imaged checks are continuously reviewed by the Chief Financial Officer and the Chief Executive Officer.  In addition all significant contractspotential benefits of adding employees to segregate such duties are now being reviewed and signed off by the Company’s board of directors in conjunctionnot cost-justified. We intend to hire additional accounting personnel to assist with the Chief Executive Officer.

As a result of the material weaknesses described above, management concluded that, as of June 30, 2016, we didnot maintain effective internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework, issued by COSO.as soon as our finances will allow.

 

This annual report does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to provisionstemporary rules of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street ReformSecurities and Consumer Protection ActExchange Commission that permit us to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

This report shall not be deemed to be filed for purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, and is not incorporated by reference into any filing of the Company, whether made before or after the date hereof, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing.annual report.
