VERECLOUD, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
 
1.    Organization

Verecloud, Inc. (the "Company" or "Verecloud") is headquartered in Englewood, Colorado and creates and implements functional architectural designs focused on the problems related to the high costs of integration for communication service providers ("CSPs").  Verecloud derives its current revenue from professional services and is developing a cloud-based network solution known as Nimbus Xchange (“Nimbus”).

History of Verecloud

The Company began in 2006 as Cadence II, LLC, a Colorado limited liability company, doing business as Network Cadence ("Network Cadence"), and has driven operational improvements and innovation with clients across the telecommunications landscape through professional services contracts. From architecture design to solution, or technology selection to delivery and implementation, Network Cadence provided professional service solutions in all areas of operational support systems (service creation, order fulfillment, inventory, activation and provisioning, assurance and billing, among others).

On August 31, 2009, a web development company, Sage Interactive, Inc., a Nevada corporation ("Sage"), consummated a share exchange (the "Share Exchange") with the sole member of Network Cadence, pursuant to which it acquired all of the membership interests of Network Cadence in exchange for the issuance to the sole member of Network Cadence, 42,320,000 shares of common stock, par value, $0.001.  After the Share Exchange, business operations consisted of those of Network Cadence and the operations of Sage ceased.  The Share Exchange was treated as a merger of Sage and Network Cadence, which is accounted for as a reverse acquisition with Network Cadence being the acquirer for financial reporting purposes.  As such, for all disclosures referencing shares authorized, issued, outstanding, reserved for, per share amounts and other disclosures related to equity, amounts have been retroactively restated to reflect share quantities as if the exchange of Network Cadence membership interest had occurred at the beginning of the periods presented as altered by the terms of the Share Exchange.  Upon the closing of the Share Exchange, the Articles of Incorporation were amended to change the name of the Company to Network Cadence, Inc. and Network Cadence became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Network Cadence, Inc.

On January 25, 2010, the Company instituted a four-for-one forward split of its common stock and amended its Articles of Incorporation to change the name of the Company from Network Cadence, Inc. to Verecloud, Inc. All historical information with regard to shares outstanding has been adjusted to reflect the split.

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 reflects the financial statements and related disclosures for Verecloud.
 
2.     Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
The unaudited balance sheet as of September 30, 2010, the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2010 and the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 have been prepared in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q. In compliance with those instructions, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") have been condensed or omitted. We believe that the disclosures made are adequate such that the information presented is not misleading.
 
In the opinion of management, these statements include all normal recurring adjustments necessary to fairly present our unaudited condensed consolidated results of operations, financial position and cash flows as of September 30, 2010 and 2009 and for all periods presented. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should therefore be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended June 30, 2010, included in our Form 10-K filed on September 28, 2010.
 
The unaudited condensed consolidated results of operations and the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the three months ended September 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results or cash flows expected for the full year.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Basis of Presentation
 
The preparation of financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. On an ongoing basis, the Company makes and evaluates estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue recognition, capitalized software development costs, stock-based compensation, goodwill and intangible assets, valuation of investments and accounting for income taxes. It bases its estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances; the results of which form the basis for making judgments about amounts and timing of revenue and expenses, the carrying values of assets and the recorded amounts of liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates and such estimates may change if the underlying conditions or assumptions change.

Principles of Consolidation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Verecloud and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Network Cadence. For the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, there were no equity investments in companies over which Verecloud has the ability to exercise significant influence, but does not hold a controlling interest. Verecloud has eliminated all significant intercompany accounts and transactions.

Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
 
Reclassifications

Certain prior year financial statement amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation with no impact on previously reported net income.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of balance sheet classification and the statements of cash flows, the Company considers cash in banks, deposits in transit, and all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Concentration of Credit Risk
 
The Company primarily sells its services to customers in the communications industry in the United States on an uncollateralized, open credit basis. For the three months ended September 30, 2010, and 2009, one customer (LightSquared) accounted for 83% and 97% of the revenue, respectively.
 
Cash is maintained at financial institutions. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") currently insures accounts at each institution for up to $250,000. At times, cash balances may exceed the FDIC insurance limit of $250,000.
 
Accounts Receivable
 
Accounts receivable include uncollateralized customer obligations due under normal trade terms and do not bear interest.

Allowances for doubtful accounts are maintained for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. The allowances are based on our regular assessment of the credit worthiness and financial condition of specific customers, as well as its historical experience with bad debts and customer deductions, receivables aging, current economic trends, geographic or country-specific risks and the financial condition of its distribution channels. At September 30, 2010, all outstanding accounts receivable were either collected subsequent to year end or are deemed collectible based on the collection history of the customer.

Revenue Recognition
 
For the periods covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company derived  revenue solely from billable professional services provided to clients.  Revenue is recognized only when all of the following conditions have been met:  (i) there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement; (ii) delivery has occurred; (iii) the fee is fixed or determinable; and (iv) collectability of the fee is reasonably assured.
 
5
 
 

 
Property and Equipment
 
Equipment and furniture are carried at historical cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using straight-line methods over the estimated useful lives of the assets, ranging from three to seven years. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance which do not materially extend the useful lives of equipment and furniture are charged to operations.
 
Fair Value Financial Instruments
 
Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of September 30, 2010. The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values. These financial instruments include cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses.  Fair values are assumed to approximate carrying values for these financial instruments because they are short term in nature, or are receivable or payable on demand.

Capitalized Software

The Company accounts for the costs of software within its products in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ( ASC ) Topic 985-20 “ Costs of Software to be Sold, Leased or Marketed” , under which certain software costs incurred subsequent to the establishment of technological feasibility are capitalized and amortized over the estimated lives of the related products. The Company determines technological feasibility to be established upon the internal release of a detailed program design, or to the extent that a detailed program design is not pursued, upon completion of a working model that has been confirmed by testing to be consistent with the product design, as specified by ASC Topic 985-20. Upon the general release of the product to customers, development costs for that product will be amortized over periods not exceeding three years, based on current and future revenue of the product.

Research and Development Costs
 
Costs related to research, design and development of products, which consist primarily of personnel, product design and infrastructure expenses, are expensed as they are incurred.

Advertising

Advertising and marketing costs are expensed when incurred.  For the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company incurred marketing expenses of $250,956 and $261,099, respectively.
 
Segment Information
 
Certain information is disclosed based on the way management organizes financial information for making operating decisions and assessing performance. The Company currently operates in one business segment and will evaluate additional segment disclosure requirements if it expands operations.
 
Significant Customers

For the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company had a substantial business relationship with one major customer, LightSquared.  LightSquared accounted for 83% and 97% of the Company’s total revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. In November 2009, the Company received a contract termination notice from LightSquared, which reduced its revenues by approximately 90% beginning in November 2009. Subsequent to this termination, the Company expanded its customer base and has successfully driven new revenue through professional service engagements with, among others, Qwest Communications, Numerex, Taser and GigaSpaces Technologies. In May 2010, the Company re-engaged with LightSquared and, for the three months ended September 30, 2010, earned approximately $1.2 million in revenue from LightSquared.

Long-Lived Assets
 
The Company accounts for its long-lived assets in accordance with Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets ("ASC 360").  Its primary long-lived assets are property and equipment. ASC 360 requires a company to assess the recoverability of its long-lived assets whenever events and circumstances indicate the carrying value of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable from estimated future cash flows expected to result from its use and eventual disposition. Additionally, the standard requires expected future operating losses from discontinued operations to be displayed in discontinued operations in the period(s) in which the losses are incurred, rather than as of the measurement date. For property and equipment, our assets consist primarily of computers and office equipment. The Company has compared the net book value of these assets to market-based pricing for similar used equipment. As of September 30, 2010, the depreciated value of the assets materially reflects the estimated fair value of similar used equipment in the marketplace.

Stock Based Compensation Expense
 
Stock based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period.

The Company estimates the fair value of stock options in accordance with ASC Topic 718 using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. This model requires the use of the following assumptions: (i) expected volatility of the Company’s common stock, which is based on the Company’s peer group in the industry in which the Company does business; (ii) expected life of the option award, which is calculated using the "simplified" method provided in the Security Exchange Commission's (the "SEC") Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 110 and takes into consideration the grant’s contractual life and vesting periods; (iii) expected dividend yield, which is assumed to be 0%, as the Company has not paid and does not anticipate paying dividends on its common stock; and (iv) the risk-free interest, which is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant with maturities equal to the grant’s expected life. In addition, ASC Topic 718 requires the Company to estimate the number of options that are expected to vest. In valuing stock based awards under ASC Topic 718, significant judgment is required in determining the expected volatility of the Company’s common stock.
 
Accounting for Income Taxes

Income tax expense or benefit is recognized for the amount of taxes payable or refundable for the current year’s results and for deferred tax assets and liabilities related to the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in our consolidated financial statements or tax returns.
 
Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share
 
Basic earnings (loss) per common share calculations are determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year.  Diluted earnings (loss) per common share calculations are determined by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding.  During the periods when they are anti-dilutive, common stock equivalents, if any, are not considered in the computation.
 
Recent Pronouncements
 
The Company evaluates pronouncements of various authoritative accounting organizations, primarily the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB"), the SEC, and the Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF"), to determine the impact of new pronouncements on GAAP and the preparation of our financial statements.  The Company has adopted the following new accounting standards:
 
In October 2009, FASB published Accounting Standards Update ( ASU ) 2009-14, Certain Revenue Arrangements That Include Software Elements, to provide guidance for revenue arrangements that include both tangible products and software elements. Under this guidance, tangible products containing software components and non-software components that function together to deliver the product’s essential functionality are excluded from the software revenue guidance in ASC Subtopic 985-605, Software-Revenue Recognition .  In addition, hardware components of a tangible product containing software components are always excluded from the software revenue guidance. ASU 2009-14 is effective for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010, with early adoption permitted. This pronouncement did not have any impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009.

In January 2010, FASB published ASU 2010-06, Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurement, which requires additional disclosures regarding the activity in fair value measurements classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

4.      Capitalized Software
 
The Company accounts for the costs of software within its products in accordance with the ASC Topic 985-20 “ Costs of Software to be Sold, Leased or Marketed under which certain software costs incurred subsequent to the establishment of technological feasibility are capitalized and amortized over the estimated lives of the related products. The Company determines technological feasibility to be established upon the internal release of a detailed program design, or to the extent that a detailed program design is not pursued, upon completion of a working model that has been confirmed by testing to be consistent with the product design, as specified by Topic 985-20. Upon the general release of the product to customers, development costs for that product will be amortized over periods not exceeding three years, based on current and future revenue of the product. Technological feasibility of the Company’s product, Nimbus Xchange, was established in September 2010.  As a result, for the three months ended September 30, 2010, the Company capitalized $40,101 of software costs and recorded no amortization cost.

The fair market value of these services is estimated at $98,000 and, upon issuance of the shares, has been reflected in the operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2009 since the shares issued are non-refundable if the agreement is terminated and compensation is not based on future services.

As of September 30, 2010, the Company had accrued $84,545 associated with the consulting agreement.
 
In addition, the Company has entered into a variety of consulting agreements for services to be provided to the Company in the ordinary course of business.  These services include project staffing on customer engagements, business development activities and marketing efforts. These agreements call for various payments upon performance of services and are generally short-term and cancellable by the company at will.

Wood, III; (ii) its Chief Financial Officer, James R. Buckley; (iii) its Chief Operating Officer, Michael P. Cookson; and (iv) its Chief Technology Officer, William Perkins.

Pursuant to the Employment Agreements:

(a)   Mr. Wood is to receive a base salary of $225,000 per annum and options to purchase 5,700,000 shares of the Company's common stock at $0.02 per share;

(b)   Mr. Buckley is to receive a base salary of $180,000 per annum and options to purchase 1,900,000 shares of the Company's common stock at $0.02 per share;

(d)   Mr. Perkins is to receive a base salary of $180,000 per annum and options to purchase 350,000 shares of the Company's common stock at $0.02 per share.

Each option granted above will vest 1/12 on the last day of each calendar quarter commencing September 30, 2010, so that if each executive remains continuously employed by the Company, their respective options will fully vest on June 30, 2013.

In addition, the Employment Agreements provide that each of the executives is eligible to participate in the Company's benefit plans (including, as they become available, savings, profit-sharing, life, disability, health, accident and other programs), will accrue three weeks paid vacation per year and be entitled to paid holidays in accordance with the Company's vacation policy.

In the event any executive's employment is terminated without cause (as defined in the Employment Agreements) or the executive resigns for good reason (as defined in the Employment Agreements), upon execution of a release of claims against the Company, the executive would be entitled to receive an amount equal to six times the amount of his monthly base salary. However, in the event the executive's employment is terminated without cause (as defined in the Employment Agreements) or the executive resigns for good reason (as defined in the Employment Agreements), at anytime during the period beginning three months prior to a change in control (as defined in the Employment Agreements) and ending 12 months after a change in control, the executive would instead be entitled to receive a lump sum payment equal to the sum of (i) 1.0 times his base salary, plus (ii) the bonus he earned for the prior calendar year, plus (iii) 12.0 times the monthly premium amount for the executive's employee benefits.

In addition, the Employment Agreements include a "modified 280G cutback" which provides that, in the event of a change in control (as defined in the Employment Agreements), if the executive would receive payments in excess of the Internal Revenue Code Section 280G statutory safe harbor  amount, the executive will receive the amount of payments that results in the greatest after-tax proceeds.
 
6.     Borrowings

On June 10, 2010, the Company entered into a loan agreement (the "Loan Agreement") with TMG Holdings Colorado, LLC, a Texas limited liability company ("TMG Colorado"). Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, TMG Colorado agreed to provide the Company with a revolving line of credit in the principal amount of up to $1,564,000 (the "Loan") pursuant to a revolving credit note (the "Note"). As of September 30, 2010, the Company had borrowed $1,314,000 under the Note and had an unused balance of $250,000. Interest accrues on the outstanding principal amount of the Loan at the rate of 10% per annum and is paid quarterly, commencing on June 30, 2011. The Loan matures on June 30, 2012 and may be prepaid at anytime without premium or penalty. As a result, the outstanding balance at September 30, 2010 is classified as long term debt. The Loan Agreement provides that, without the prior written consent of TMG Colorado, the Company may not declare any dividends or make any other distributions of money or other property with respect to the Company's shares, except under limited circumstances described in the Loan Agreement. In addition, the Loan Agreement required that the Company establish a consulting agreement with TMG as further described in Note 5.

The Loan Agreement also contains customary representations, warranties and covenants. The Company's obligations under the Loan are secured by a first priority lien on all of the Company's assets pursuant to a security agreement (the "Security Agreement") between the Company and TMG Colorado dated as of June 10, 2010.  Failure to pay any amount of principal or interest when due, failure to comply with any other terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement, the Note or the Security Agreement, any false or inaccurate material representation, the bankruptcy of the Company, or liquidation, termination or dissolution of the Company, will result in an acceleration of the total balance of outstanding interest and principal on the Note. In addition, upon any of the foregoing defaults, the Note shall accrue default interest at a rate of 18% per annum and TMG Colorado may foreclose on the Company’s assets. The Loan Agreement also contained a lock-up agreement restricting the trading of any shares held by the current stockholders of Verecloud for a period of not less than seventy-five (75) days from June 10, 2010. That restriction ended on August 25, 2010.

8.     Capital Stock

As of September 30, 2010, there were 70,098,000 outstanding shares of common stock and no issued and outstanding shares of preferred stock.

The Company’s Articles of Incorporation, as amended, authorize the issuance of 200,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share, and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.001 par value.

The Company’s Articles of Incorporation, as amended, authorize the issuance of preferred stock in one or more series at the discretion of the board of directors.  In establishing a series, the board of directors has the right to give it a distinctive designation so as to distinguish such series of preferred stock from other series and classes of capital stock.  In addition, the board of directors is obligated to fix the number of shares in such a series, and the preference rights and restrictions thereof.  All shares of any one series shall be alike in every particular except as provided by the Articles of Incorporation, as amended, or the Nevada Revised Statutes.

On January 25, 2010, the Company conducted a four-for-one forward split of its common stock, in which each share of our issued and outstanding common stock as of January 25, 2010 was converted into four shares of common stock.  Accordingly, all share amounts referenced herein are calculated on a post-split basis notwithstanding that certain grants or issuances were made prior to the date of the forward split.  In addition, all references in the accompanying financial statements to the number of common shares and per share amounts have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the forward stock split.

On October 27, 2009, the Company's board of directors adopted the Verecloud 2009 Equity Incentive Plan (the "Incentive Plan"). The Company expects to submit the Incentive Plan for approval by its stockholders at the next annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders. The Company’s board of directors will administer the Incentive Plan until the board of directors delegates the administration to a committee of the board of directors.
 
The purpose of the Incentive Plan is to benefit the Company’s stockholders by furthering the growth and development of the Company by affording an opportunity for stock ownership to attract, retain and provide incentives to employees and directors of, and non-employee consultants to, the Company and its affiliates, and to assist the Company in attracting and retaining new employees, directors and consultants; to encourage growth of the Company through incentives that are consistent with the Company’s goals; to provide incentives for individual performance; and to promote teamwork.
 
Under the Incentive Plan, the board of directors in its sole discretion may grant stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, bonus stock, deferred stock or other equity-based awards (each an "Award") to the Company’s employees, directors and consultants (or those of the Company’s affiliates).  The Awards available under the Incentive Plan also include performance-based Awards, which would have pre-established performance goals that relate to the achievement of the Company’s business objectives.  The performance-based stock Awards available under the Incentive Plan are intended to comply with the requirements of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, to allow such Awards, when payable, to be tax deductible by the Company.
 
On June 22, 2010, the board of directors of Verecloud approved to increase the amount of shares reserved for issuance under the Incentive Plan from 8,000,000 shares of common stock to 16,000,000 shares.  To the extent that an Award expires, ceases to be exercisable, is forfeited or repurchased by the Company, any shares subject to the Award may be used again for new grants under the Incentive Plan.  In addition, shares tendered or withheld to satisfy the grant or exercise price or tax withholding obligation with respect to any Award (other than with respect to options) may be used for grants under the Incentive Plan.  Initially, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be subject to one or more Awards to a participant pursuant to the Incentive Plan during any fiscal year of the Company is 4,000,000.  However, the Incentive Plan, as amended, increases this maximum amount to 8,000,000 shares.

On August 12, 2010, upon approval of the Company board of directors, the Company issued a non-qualified option to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock to LGM Cloud Strategies, LLC (“LGM”) for past sales and marketing services provided by LGM. Of the 100,000 shares, 40,000 shares vested upon grant and the remaining 60,000 shares vest quarterly over two years from the date of grant.

On August 30, 2010, upon approval of the Company board of directors, the Company issued a non-qualified option to purchase 250,000 shares of common stock to Steve Zeigler (“Zeigler”) for past recruiting services provided by Zeigler. The entire 250,000 shares vested upon grant. In addition, Zeigler received $25,000 in cash for recruiting services provided to the Company.

As of September 30, 2010, 15,650,000 options to acquire shares of common stock and restricted shares have been issued and are outstanding under the Incentive Plan, leaving 350,000 shares of common stock remaining available for option and stock awards under the Incentive Plan. In general, each option vests evenly on the last day of each fiscal quarter, based on a three-year period commencing upon the employee's original date-of-hire.  As of September 30, 2010, 6,290,833 options have vested.

Stock Based Compensation
 
The Company estimates the fair value of stock options in accordance with ASC Topic 718 using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. This model requires the use of the following assumptions: (i) expected volatility of the Company’s common stock, which is based on the Company’s peer group in the industry in which the Company does business; (ii) expected life of the option award, which is calculates using the "simplified" method provided in the SEC’s Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 110 and takes into consideration the grant’s contractual life and vesting periods; (iii) expected dividend yield, which is assumed to be 0%, as the Company has not paid and does not anticipate paying dividends on its common stock; and (iv) the risk-free interest, which is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant with maturities equal to the grant’s expected life. In addition, ASC Topic 718 requires the Company to estimate the number of options that are expected to vest. In valuing share-based awards under ASC Topic 718, significant judgment is required in determining the expected volatility of the Company’s common stock. The following table presents the weighted average assumptions used to estimate the fair values of the stock options granted for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009:

The per share weighted average fair value of options granted was $.02 for the three months ended September 30, 2010.  No options were granted prior to October 2009. As of September 30, 2010, there was $155,594 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average service period of 5.3 years. The Company utilizes historical volatility of other entities in a similar line of business for a period commensurate with the contractual term of the underlying financial statements. As of September 30, 2010, the Company had issued 15,650,000 options to purchase common stock. As of September 30, 2010, 6,290,833 of the Company’s stock options have vested. The Company recognized stock-based compensation expense of $43,050 for the three months ended September 30, 2010. In addition, the Company recognized stock-based compensation expense of $8,606 in the three months ended September 30, 2010 related to stock warrants issued to two board of directors (Note 10).  No stock-based compensation expense was recorded for the three months ended September 30, 2009.
 
The fair values of the common stock underlying stock options granted during the three months ended September 30, 2010 were estimated by the Company's board of directors, which intended all options granted to be exercisable at a price per share not less than the per share fair market value of our common stock underlying those options on the date of grant. Given the absence of a public trading market, the board of directors considered numerous objective and subjective factors to determine the best estimate of the fair market value of the common stock at each meeting at which stock option grants were approved. These factors included, but were not limited to, the following: (i) contemporaneous valuations of the common stock; (ii) the lack of marketability of the common stock; (iii) developments in the business; and (iv) revenue trading multiples of comparable companies in the Company's industry and the discounted present value of anticipated cash flows through 2012. If the Company had made different assumptions and estimates, the amount of recognized and to be recognized stock-based compensation expense could have been materially different. The Company believes that it has used reasonable methodologies, approaches and assumptions in determining the fair value of our common stock.

10.  Stock Warrants
 
On June 11, 2010, the Company entered into a Note Purchase Agreement (the "Note Purchase Agreement") with Pat and Ann Burke (collectively, the "Burkes"), former owners of membership interests in Network Cadence. Pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement, the Company: (i) paid the Burkes $750,000 cash in full satisfaction and repayment of the promissory note issued to the Burkes on May 26, 2009, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement dated May 26, 2009 between Network Cadence and the Burkes whereby Network Cadence purchased 100% of the Burkes' membership interests in Network Cadence; and (ii) issued to the Burkes a Common Stock Purchase Warrant (the "Warrant"), pursuant to which the Burkes may purchase up to 1,250,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock for $.01 per share. The Warrant is exercisable for five years and may be exercised on a cashless basis. Pursuant to the terms of the Note Purchase Agreement, the Company and the Burkes terminated the Interests Purchase Agreement. As of September 30, 2010, no shares under this Warrant have been exercised. The value of these warrants was estimated at $17,067 using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. It was booked as an increase to additional paid in capital as consideration for settlement of the outstanding debt.
 
On August 12, 2010, upon approval by the Company board of directors, Phillip Tonge was elected as a director (the "Tonge Appointment").  In connection with the Tonge Appointment, the Company issued Mr. Tonge a warrant (the "Tonge Warrant") to purchase 200,000 shares of common stock at $0.01 per share.  The shares underlying the Tonge Warrant will vest equally over five consecutive quarters commencing on September 30, 2010 with full vesting occurring on September 30, 2011.  As of September 30, 2010, 40,000 shares had vested and the value of these vested warrants was estimated at $538 using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. It was recorded as an increase to additional paid in capital.
 
On August 24, 2010, upon approval by the Company board of directors, Dr. Hossein Eslambolchi was elected as a director (the "Eslambolchi Appointment").  In connection with the Eslambolchi Appointment, the Company issued to Dr. Eslambolchi a warrant (the "Eslambolchi Warrant") to purchase 600,000 shares of the Company's common stock, at $0.01 per share.  As consideration for Dr. Eslambolchi's prior advisory service to the Company over a two-year period commencing January 29, 2009, 450,000 of the underlying common stock shares,  vested as of August 24, 2010.  Subject to Dr. Eslambolchi's continued service as a director, the remaining 150,000 shares will vest in equal installments on the last day of each of the next two consecutive calendar quarters such that the Eslambolchi Warrant may be fully vested on December 31, 2010. As of September 30, 2010, 525,000 shares had vested and the value of these vested warrants was estimated at $8,068 using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. It was recorded as an increase to additional paid in capital.

As a result of the Share Exchange on August 31, 2009, the Company became a "C" corporation. Effective August 31, 2009, Network Cadence became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Verecloud through the Share Exchange. Prior to the Share Exchange, Network Cadence was a pass-through entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes prior to the Share Exchange and U.S. federal, state, and local income taxes were not provided for this entity as it was not a taxable entity. Limited liability company members are required to report their share of our taxable income on their respective income tax returns. As a result of the Share Exchange, the Company is subject to corporate U.S. federal, state, and local taxes beginning in September 2009. Prior to the Share Exchange, no provision for income tax has been provided in the financial statements since, prior to the Share Exchange, the Company elected to be taxed as a partnership, whereby all income or losses flow through to the partners for income tax reporting purposes and the Company was on the cash basis of accounting for income tax purposes.

With the transition to a "C" corporation on August 31, 2009, the Company assumed a tax liability of $579,905 related to the conversion from a cash basis tax entity to an accrual based taxpayer. This liability was fully offset by the operating losses generated from September 1, 2009 to June 30, 2010.  In addition and in connection with the Note Purchase Agreement, described in Note 10 , the Company has a deferred intangible tax asset of $440,191 at September 30, 2010 . Due to the uncertainty over whether the deferred tax asset will be realized, the Company has recorded a valuation allowance for the entire deferred tax asset balance of $440,191.
 
A reconciliation of income tax computed at the United States federal statutory rate of 34% to reported income tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 follows:

On November 10, 2010, the Company entered into an agreement with Changewave, Inc. (“Changewave”) in which Changewave will provide investor relations and shareholder marketing services for the Company. The term of agreement is November 1, 2010 to October 31, 2011. As compensation for these services, Changewave will receive 1,200,000 restricted shares of common stock over the term of the agreement.

ITEM 2 .   MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, appearing in our Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2010 filed on September 28, 2010.
 
Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
 
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and other materials we will file with the SEC contain, or will contain, disclosures which are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include all statements that do not relate solely to historical or current facts, such as, but not limited to, the discussion of economic conditions in market areas and their effect on revenue growth, the discussion of our growth strategy, the effectiveness of our management information systems, and the availability of financing and working capital to meet funding requirements, and can generally be identified by the use of words such as "may," "believe," "will," "expect," "project," "estimate," "anticipate," "plan" or "continue." These forward-looking statements are based on the current plans and expectations of our management and are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results or those anticipated. These factors include, but are not limited to: economic conditions in the telecommunications industry; our ability to service and repay our debt financing; increased competition in the industry; our dependence on a certain customer; the availability of and costs associated with potential sources of financing; difficulties associated with managing future growth; our inability to manage our customer’s projects; our ability to continue as a going concern; our ability to raise funds to operate; the loss of key personnel; and our ability to attract and retain new qualified personnel.
 
For a discussion of the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements see the "Liquidity and Capital Resources" section under "Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in this item of this report and the other risks and uncertainties that are set forth elsewhere in this report or detailed in our other SEC reports and filings. We believe it is important to communicate our expectations. However, our management disclaims any obligation to update any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
 
Overview

Verecloud is headquartered in Englewood, Colorado and creates and implements functional architectural designs focused on the problems related to the high costs of integration for CSPs. Verecloud derives its current revenue from professional services and is developing a cloud-based network solution known as Nimbus.
 
For the past four years, Verecloud has driven operational improvements and innovation with clients across the telecommunications landscape through professional services contracts. From architecture design to solution, or technology selection to delivery and implementation, Verecloud has provided professional service solutions in areas of operational support systems (service creation, order fulfillment, inventory, activation and provisioning, assurance and billing, among others).  For the periods covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company’s revenue stream consists solely of billable professional services.  No software or product revenue has yet occurred.
 
While professional services remain the Company’s sole source of revenue as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company’s objective is  to develop a unique platform known as Nimbus, which it hopes will position the Company to exploit the opportunity created by the continued growth in cloud computing. Nimbus is expected to bridge the gap between (i) small and medium businesses that want expanded and integrated services via the "cloud," (ii) CSPs who need innovative, high-margin services to drive growth, and (iii) innovative cloud computing solution providers who want access to the large distribution channel that CSPs have developed for voice and data services. The Company believes that Nimbus can potentially open new revenue opportunities, protect investments made in existing services, and create a new distribution model for both CSPs and cloud computing solution providers in a low cost, high return manner.  The success of the Company’s plan will depend on several major factors.  First, its ability to fund the development of Nimbus.  Second, the successful development of Nimbus into a commercially viable and competitive cloud-based solution.  Third, the Company’s ability to effectively market and sell the Nimbus solution to CSPs. The Company is actively engaged in business development efforts to acquire new customers for the Nimbus solution.

Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our management's discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements as well as the reported net sales and expenses during the reporting periods. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

The Company’s significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 2 to our condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
The Company evaluates pronouncements of various authoritative accounting organizations, primarily the FASB, the SEC, and EITF, to determine the impact of new pronouncements on GAAP and the preparation of our financial statements.  The Company has adopted the following new accounting standards:
 
In October 2009, FASB published ASU, 2009-14, Certain Revenue Arrangements That Include Software Elements, to provide guidance for revenue arrangements that include both tangible products and software elements. Under this guidance, tangible products containing software components and non-software components that function together to deliver the product’s essential functionality are excluded from the software revenue guidance in ASC Subtopic 985-605, Software-Revenue Recognition . In addition, hardware components of a tangible product containing software components are always excluded from the software revenue guidance. ASU 2009-14 is effective for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010, with early adoption permitted. This pronouncement did not have any impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009.
 
In January 2010, FASB published ASU 2010-06, Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurement, which requires additional disclosures regarding the activity in fair value measurements classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. Disclosure of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements is required for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. We will provide these disclosures, if necessary, beginning in the second quarter of fiscal year 2011, if and when such activity occurs.
 
There were no other accounting standards and interpretations issued recently which are expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, operations or cash flows.
 
Outlook
 
Our business model seeks to provide solutions to traditional CSPs, enabling them to innovate and provide value-added services to their customers via cloud computing. We expect to accomplish our business model by utilizing the core competencies of our team to deliver and deploy Nimbus within the CSPs operating environment.
 
We are currently targeting domestic and international tier 1 and tier 2 CSPs who have a desire to transform their operations to deliver highly optimized cloud-based services to their customers. In particular, we will place a high priority on partnering with CSPs who intend to target the small-and-medium business customer, due to size of the opportunity for incremental services and revenue via cloud computing in the near term.
 
Revenue
 
With this market opportunity, Verecloud is targeting three key revenue streams:
 
Nimbus implementation and integration;
 
ongoing system upgrades; and
 
transaction fees on CSPs new products and services.
 
 
16
 
 

 
As our revenues increase, we plan to continue to invest in marketing and sales, in addition to research and development, by increasing our presence within the industry and well as continued targeted sales efforts within and outside the telecommunications industry.

Cost of Goods Sold
 
Our costs of goods sold include direct staff costs associated with professional service activities as well as, going forward, ongoing costs associated with Nimbus upgrades and deployments and customer support. Our gross margins are expected to remain in the 50-60% range as we gain scale and efficiencies with each added customer.
 
Operating Expenses
 
With the expected growth in revenue, general, legal and administrative expenses are expected to increase. We expect to continue to add supporting staff in finance and operations as we grow the business.  As we expand our customer base and increase our professional services and integration revenue, our overall staffing (employees and contractors) is expected to increase on a variable basis (revenue led hiring).

Revenue: Revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2010 decreased 57% compared to 2009 driven by lower revenue from LightSquared in 2010 vs. 2009. Beginning in May 2010, the Company re-engaged with LightSquared and has steadily ramped up revenue on a monthly basis. However, the run rate is lower than was occurring in the three months ended September 30, 2009.
 
Cost of Goods Sold :  Cost of goods sold, which consists mainly of staff related expenses (employees and contractors) and travel expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2010 decreased 59% versus the three months ended September 30, 2009. The decrease correlates with the revenue decline described above.  Our gross profit was 55% for the three months ended September 30, 2010, a slight increase over the 53% in the three months ended September 30, 2009.
 
 
17
 
 

 
Operating Expenses: Operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2010 increased 22% versus the comparable period in 2009.   These increases are driven primarily by a combined increase in employee and consulting expenses of $249,470 associated with expansion of the management team and increased business development efforts.
 
Other Income (Expense): Other income (expense) for the three months ended September 30, 2010 was ($26,634) vs. $($51,974) for the comparable period in 2009 and consists primarily of interest expense. For the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, interest expense was $26,768 and $52,047, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2010, interest expense relates to the outstanding line of credit. In 2009, the interest expense was higher due to the higher note payable balance on the prior obligation during the three months ended September 30, 2009.
 
Net Income (Loss): For the three months ended September 30, 2010, we reported a net loss of $147,851 compared to net income of $908,031 for the three months ended September 30, 2009.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flow Activity
 
Cash and cash equivalents were $742,857 and $197,151 as of September 30, 2010 and June 30, 2010, respectively.
 
The change in cash and cash equivalents during the periods presented was as follows:

   
Three months ended September 30,
 
   
2010
   
2009
 
             
Net cash from (used in) operating activities
  $ 137,466     $ 519,972  
Investing Activities
    (41,760 )     (18,194 )
Financing Activities
    450,000       (786,623 )
Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents
  $ 545,706     $ (284,844 )
Cash and cash equivalents at the beginning of the period
    197,151       540,479  
Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the period
  $ 742,857     $ 255,635  

Operations: Net cash from operating activities during the three months ended September 30, 2010 was $137,466, compared to $519,972 during the comparable period of 2009, a decrease of $382,506.  This decrease is mainly due to the lower revenue from LightSquared in the current quarter versus 2009.

Investing: Net cash used in investing activities, consisting primarily of capital expenditures, for the three months ended September 30, 2010 was $41,760, compared to $18,194 for three months ended September 30, 2009.  The increase is driven by the initial capitalization of software costs of $40,101 in the three months ended September 30, 2010. Our capital expenditures consist mainly of office and computer equipment.
 
Financing: Net cash used in financing activities for the three months ended September 30, 2010 was $450,000. This is driven by draws on our existing line of credit of $550,000 offset by a payment on the line of credit of $100,000. The activity for the three months ended September 30, 2009 consists of debt payments of $280,000 and member distributions prior to the Share Exchange in August 31, 2009.
 
As of September 30, 2010, total current assets were $1,443,911, which consisted of $742,857 of cash, $591,166 of accounts receivable and $109,888 of other current assets.

Accounts receivable at September 30, 2010 were $591,166 compared to $632,962 at June 30, 2010. All accounts receivable outstanding at September 30, 2010 have been outstanding 45 days or less.

Accounts payable at September 30, 2010 were $417,115 compared to $174,899 at June 30, 2010.  This increase of $242,216 was driven primarily by the increase in activity at LightSquared and increased legal fees associated with business development contract activities.
 
As of September 30, 2010, we had a working capital balance of $692,217, consisting of current assets of $1,443,911 and current liabilities of $751,694. This represents an increase of $322,659 from the working capital balance of $369,558 at June 30, 2010.  This increase is driven by the increase in revenue from our major customer, LightSquared. Our current assets consist primarily of cash, which is deposited in short term, interest bearing accounts, and accounts receivable. To date, we have funded the Company through a combination of normal operations and the outstanding line of credit. Based on our twelve month current outlook for the business, we expected to continue to fund the business through operations and the existing line of credit.  Additional funding may be needed to drive additional growth of the business.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
As of and subsequent to September 30, 2010, we have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Item 3.         Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Not applicable to smaller reporting companies.
 
Item 4.         Controls and Procedures
 
( a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
Our chief executive and chief financial officers evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our chief executive and chief financial officers concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report were effective such that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our president, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure.
 
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting.    Our management, including our chief executive and chief financial officers are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
 
Our management, with the participation of our chief executive and chief financial officers, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2010.  In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control — Integrated Framework.  Based on this evaluation, our management, with the participation of our chief executive and chief financial officers, concluded that, as of September 30, 2010, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective due to material weaknesses in the system of internal control.
 
Specifically, management identified the following control deficiencies. First, Verecloud has not properly segregated duties as two individuals can initiate, authorize, and complete all transactions. Verecloud has established additional review and approval processes for day to day transactions. However, Verecloud has not implemented measures that would prevent the individuals from overriding the internal control system. Verecloud does not believe that this control deficiency has resulted in deficient financial reporting because the chief financial officer is aware of his responsibilities under the SEC’s reporting requirements and personally certifies the financial reports. Second, Verecloud has installed accounting software that does not prevent erroneous or unauthorized changes to previous reporting periods and does not provide an adequate audit trail of entries made in the accounting software.  This material weakness was first discovered by the Company’s chief financial officer at the time of the Share Exchange.  Currently, the Company is discussing the implementation of a remediation plan and will implement such a plan when resources allow.
 
Accordingly, while Verecloud has identified certain material weaknesses in its system of internal control over financial reporting, it has implemented additional internal control procedures related to review and approvals of cash receipts and cash disbursements and it believes that it has taken reasonable steps to ascertain that the financial information contained in this report is in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
 
(a)     Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Other than the additional reviews and approvals of cash receipts and cash disbursements noted above, during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, there were no other changes in Verecloud’s internal controls over financial reporting, known to the chief executive officer or the chief financial officer, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect Verecloud’s internal control over financial reporting.
