ITEM 1. BUSINESS

Introduction

WidePoint Corporation (“WidePoint” or “the Company”) is a consulting services firm specializing in planning, managing and implementing Information Technology (“IT”) solutions. Its staff consists of business and computer specialists who help customers augment and expand their resident technologic skills and competencies, drive technical innovation, and help develop and maintain a competitive edge in today’s rapidly changing technological environment in business.

From 1999 through 2002, the Company undertook several initiatives in an effort to transition the Company from a Millennium solutions provider to an integrated IT Services company.  In addition to establishing the WidePoint Corporate identity and brand imagery and optimizing the organizational structure, management implemented a services strategy that was responsive to the evolving requirements of the Company’s markets, customers and target markets.

During 2002 and 2003, the Company witnessed a highly competitive economic environment within the commercial IT sector due to a combination of constrained business investment and an excessive supply of IT Consultants.  As a result of these conditions, the Company experienced both reduced gross margins and decreased demand for the IT services that the Company provides.

In the continuing effort to differentiate itself and overcome the highly competitive environment that has been an obstacle to the expansion of its revenue streams, the Company has modified its strategic plan; including the launch of a federal sector business initiative, continued development of new technologies and capabilities tied to wireless technologies, and the initiation and expansion of several alliances and relationships to expand the Company’s ability to penetrate new market segments.

As a result of the Company’s 2003 efforts, the Company was awarded a GSA Corporate Schedule in February of 2004 enhancing its ability to market to federal government markets.  In addition, the Company agreed to acquire Chesapeake Government Technologies, Inc. (“Chesapeake”), on March 24, 2004.  The acquisition of Chesapeake accelerates the timing of the Company’s ability to compete for federal business due to Chesapeake’s existing alliances and expertise within the federal marketplace.  The Company intends to leverage both Chesapeake’s capabilities its GSA Schedule to expand its revenue base, as it continues to look for and analyze growth alternatives via selected merger and acquisition opportunities.

Most of the Company’s current costs consist primarily of the salaries and benefits paid to the Company’s technical, marketing and administrative personnel.  As a result of its plan to expand its operations through a combination of internal growth initiatives and merger and acquisition opportunities, the Company expects such costs to increase.  The Company’s profitability depends upon both the volume of services performed and the Company’s ability to manage costs.  As a significant portion of the Company’s cost structure is labor related, the Company must effectively manage these costs to achieve and grow its profitability.  To date, the Company has attempted to maximize its operating margins through efficiencies achieved by the use of the Company’s proprietary methodologies, and by offsetting increases in consultant salaries with increases in consultant fees received from its clients.

Business Strategy and Services

WidePoint’s strategy for its project-based initiatives has been to apply a structured delivery methodology based on industry standard best practices, enhanced with a set of deliverable templates that boost productivity and effectiveness through its consultants. WidePoint focuses on providing end results with significant, tangible business benefits through its consultants that possess recognized industry-standard certifications and years of successful project experience. WidePoint’s strategy for its staff augmentation services has been to provide a value added service based upon its “best to market” practices developed by the Company which utilizes a rapid response to the Companies clients of highly trained consultants.

The Company presently focuses on planning, implementing and supporting IT-based initiatives with the following services:

Architecture and Planning Services

  IT Strategic Planning

  Software Selection

  Program Management

  Project Management

IT Outsource Solutions

  Infrastructure Management

  Applications Management

  Architecture and Design

The Company’s ability to successfully expand requires significant revenue growth from increased services performed for existing and new clients, as well the potential for strategic acquisitions and/or mergers. The realization of these events depends on many factors, including successful strategic sales and marketing efforts and the identification and acquisition of appropriate businesses. Any difficulties encountered in the expansion of the Company through successful sales and marketing efforts and/or acquisitions could have an adverse impact on the Company’s revenues and operating results.

Clients

The client base of the Company is located predominantly within North America. The Company has experience and expertise in the successful completion and staff augmentation of projects in the following industries: manufacturing, consumer product goods, direct marketing, healthcare and financial services.

3


Historically the Company derived, and may in the future derive, a significant percentage of its total revenues from a relatively small number of clients. During 2003, four customers individually represented 18%, 14%, 13% and 13% of revenues, respectively. Due to the nature of the Company’s business and the relative size of certain contracts, the loss of any single significant customer could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations.

Marketing and Sales

The Company focuses its sales and marketing efforts on corporations with significant IT budgets and requirements. While the Company performs work for companies in various industries, the majority of the Company’s revenues for 2003 were derived from contracts and projects with manufacturing clients, consumer products clients, healthcare clients, and financial services clients.

The Company markets its solutions through its direct sales force, and alliances with several strategic partnerships in specific industries. The direct sales force is responsible for providing highly responsive, quality service and ensuring client satisfaction with the Company’s services. The Company’s strategic partnerships and alliances provide the Company with additional access to potential clients.

Competition

The market for the services that the Company provides is highly competitive, includes a large number of competitors, and is subject to rapid change. The primary competitors of the Company include participants from a variety of market segments, including publicly and privately held firms, large accounting and consulting firms, systems consulting and implementation firms, application software firms, service groups of computer equipment companies, and other general management consulting firms. Increasingly, companies with third-world and emerging markets operations bases are also targeting this market.

Intellectual Property

The Company’s intellectual property primarily consists of methodologies developed for use in application development solutions. The Company does not have any patents and relies upon a combination of trade secrets, copyright and trademark laws, and contractual restrictions to establish and protect its ownership of its proprietary methodologies. The Company generally enters into nondisclosure and confidentiality agreements with its employees, partners, consultants, independent sales agents and clients. As the number of competitors providing services similar to the services of the Company increases, the likelihood of similar methodologies being used by competitors increases. Although the Company’s methodologies have never been subject to an infringement claim, there can be no assurance that third parties will not assert infringement claims against the Company in the future, that the assertion of such claims will not result in litigation, or that the Company would prevail in such litigation or be able to obtain the license for the use of any allegedly infringed intellectual property from a third party on commercially reasonable terms. Further, litigation regardless of its outcome could result in substantial cost to the Company and divert management’s attention from the Company’s operations. Although the Company is not aware of any basis upon which a third party could assert an infringement claim, any infringement claim or litigation against the Company could materially adversely affect the Company’s business, operating results and financial condition.

4


Personnel

As of December 31, 2003, the Company had 34 full time employees and 1 part-time employee including 3 persons in sales and recruiting, 29 persons in consulting, and 3 persons in management and administration. The Company also periodically employs additional consultants and temporary employees.

The Company believes that its future success will depend in part on its continued ability to attract and retain highly skilled managerial, technical, sales and support personnel. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to continue to attract and retain personnel necessary for the development of its business. The Company generally does not have employment contracts with its employees, but does maintain employment agreements with its key employees. However, the Company does have confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements with many of its employees. None of the Company’s employees are subject to a collective bargaining agreement. The Company believes that its relations with its employees are good.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES.

The principal executive office of the Company consists of approximately 3,500 square feet of office space located at One Lincoln Centre, Suite 1100, Oakbrook Terrace, Illinois, which is currently being leased by the Company through July 2007 for approximately $3,500 per month. The Company’s rent in 2003 under a prior sublease for the office at One Lincoln Centre was approximately $66,000.

The Company also leased a branch office located at 4401 Rockside Road, Suite 405, Independence, Ohio, in approximately 1,131 square feet under a lease that expired on June 30, 2003. The Company’s annual rent in 2003 for such branch office was approximately $12,000. The Company also pays its pro rata share of increases in real estate taxes and operating expenses for this office. The Company was subleasing this office space for approximately $1,200 per month.

During 2000, several offices of the Company were closed and their leases were either sublet, assigned, or have expired. The Michigan office lease located at 32000 Northwestern Highway, Suite 165, Farmington Hills, Michigan was sublet to Galaxy Builders in June 2000 for the same terms as those of the Company’s lease for that location. The Company’s annual rent in 2003 for that property was approximately $38,000 and the lease expires on February 24, 2004. The lease for the former corporate headquarters office of the Company located at 20251 Century Boulevard, Germantown, Maryland was assigned on December 1, 2000 to GHG Holdings, Inc., which assigned lease expired on September 30, 2005. The Company is secondarily liable if GHG Holdings, Inc were to default on that assigned lease.

For additional information regarding the Company’s lease obligations, see Note 9 of “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.”

The Company believes that it can obtain additional facilities required to accommodate its projected needs without difficulty and at commercially reasonable prices, although no assurance can be given that it will be able to do so.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

Forward Looking Statements

The information set forth below includes forward-looking statements. Certain factors that could cause results to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements are set forth below. Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements. The Company disclaims any intent or obligation to update publicly these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Overview

WidePoint Corporation is a consulting services firm specializing in planning, managing and implementing Information Technology (“IT”) solutions. Its staff consists of business and computer specialists who help customers augment and expand their resident technologic skills and competencies, drive technical innovation, and help develop and maintain a competitive edge in today’s rapidly changing technological environment in business.

During 2002 and 2003, the Company witnessed a highly competitive economic environment within the commercial IT sector due to a combination of constrained business investment and an excessive supply of IT consultants.  As a result of these conditions, the Company experienced both reduced gross margins and decreased demand for the IT services that the Company provides. In the continuing effort to differentiate itself and to overcome the highly competitive environment that has been an obstacle to the expansion of its revenue streams, the Company has modified its strategic plan; including the launch of a federal sector business initiative, continued development of new technologies and capabilities tied to wireless technologies, and the initiation and expansion of several alliances and relationships to expand the Company’s ability to penetrate new market segments.

For the year ended December 31, 2003, the Company’s revenues decreased by 6% from approximately $3.5 million in 2002 to approximately $3.3 million in 2003. This decrease was materially due to the negative pricing pressures that resulted from the highly competitive economic environment that reduced average billing rates for the Company’s consultants.

Most of the Company’s current costs consist primarily of the salaries and benefits paid to the Company’s technical, marketing and administrative personnel.  As a result of its plan to expand its operations through a combination of internal growth initiatives and merger and acquisition opportunities, the Company expects such costs to increase.  The Company’s profitability depends upon both the volume of services performed and the Company’s ability to manage costs.  As a significant portion of the Company’s cost structure are labor related, the Company must effectively manage these costs to achieve and grow its profitability.  To date, the Company has attempted to maximize its operating margins through efficiencies achieved by the use of the Company’s proprietary methodologies, and by offsetting increases in consultant salaries with increases in consultant fees received from its clients.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or U.S. GAAP. These accounting principles require us to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions. We believe that the estimates, judgments and assumptions upon which we rely are reasonably based upon information available to us at the time that these estimates, judgments and assumptions are made. These estimates, judgments and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the periods presented. To the extent there are material differences between these estimates, judgments and assumptions and actual results, our financial statements will be affected. The significant accounting policies that we believe are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results include the following:

Revenue recognition;

Allowance for doubtful accounts; and

Accounting for income taxes.

In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by U.S. GAAP and does not require management’s judgment in its application. There are also areas in which management’s judgment in selecting among available alternatives would not produce a materially different result. Our senior management has reviewed these critical accounting policies and related disclosures with our Audit Committee. See Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, which contain additional information regarding our accounting policies and other disclosures required by U.S. GAAP.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue on time-and-materials contracts is recognized based upon hours incurred at contract rates plus direct costs. Revenue on fixed-price contracts is recognized on the percentage-of-completion method based on costs incurred in relation to total estimated costs. Anticipated losses are recognized as soon as they become known. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined.

In accordance with EITF 99-19 and SAB 104, we recognize our study revenue on a gross basis as we act as a principal in such transactions, can influence price, are involved in the product specifications and have credit risk.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

We determine our allowance by considering a number of factors, including the length of time trade accounts receivable are past due, our previous loss history, the customer’s current ability to pay its obligation to us, and the condition of the general economy and the industry as a whole. We make judgments as to our ability to collect outstanding receivables based on these factors and provide allowances for these receivables when collections become doubtful. Provisions are made based on specific review of all significant outstanding balances.

11


Accounting for Income Taxes

We account for income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” Under the asset and liability method of SFAS No. 109, deferred income taxes are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between financial statement carrying amounts, and the tax bases of existing assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.

We have incurred historical net operating losses, or NOLs, for federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, no federal income tax provision has been recorded to date and there are no taxes payable. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible.

Based upon the level of historical losses that may limit utilization of NOL carry forwards in future periods, management is unable to predict whether these net deferred tax assets will be utilized prior to expiration. The unused NOL carry forwards expire in years 2010 through 2023. As such, we have recorded a full valuation allowance against net deferred tax assets. Although we believe that our estimates are reasonable, no assurance can be given that the final outcome of these matters will not be different than that which is reflected in our historical income tax provisions. Such differences could have a material effect on our income tax provision and net income in the period in which such determination is made.

Results of Operations

Year Ended December 31, 2003 Compared to the Year ended December 31, 2002

Revenues. Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2003, were approximately $3.3 million, a decrease of $0.2 million, as compared to revenues of approximately $3.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2002. The 6% decrease in revenues in 2003 was primarily attributable to negative pricing pressures that resulted from the highly competitive economic environment that reduced average billing rates for the Company’s Consultants.

Gross profit. Gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2003, was $0.8 million, or 25% of revenues, a decrease of $0.2 million as compared to gross profit of $1.0 million, or 29% of revenues, for the year ended December 31, 2002. The decrease in the amount of gross profit was attributable to a reduction in revenues and a decrease in operating margins caused by the inability of the Company to completely offset lower average bill rates with a decrease in corresponding consultant costs.

12


Sales and marketing. Sales and marketing expenses for the year ended December 31, 2003 were $0.4 million, or 13% of revenues, as compared to $0.5 million, or 15% of revenues, for the year ended December 31, 2002. The $0.1 million decrease in sales and marketing expenses for the year ended December 31, 2003, was primarily attributable to the Company’s attempt to match the size of the Company’s sales force with the operational requirements of the Company’s business.

General and administrative. General and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2003 were $0.7 million, or 21% of revenues, as compared to $0.6 million, or 18% of revenues, for the year ended December 31, 2002. The $0.1 million increase in general and administrative expenses in 2003 was primarily attributable to increases in administrative labor cost.

Interest income (expense). Interest income for the year ended December 31, 2003 was $11,551, a decrease of $6,107 or 35%, as compared to $17,658 for the year ended December 31, 2002. The decrease in interest income in 2003 was primarily attributable to lower interest rates. Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2003 was $1,304, a decrease of $255 or 16%, as compared to $1,559 in interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2002. The decrease in interest expense in 2003 was primarily attributable to the elimination of the capital lease obligations.

Net income (loss). As a result of the above, the net loss for the year ended December 31, 2003 was approximately $(0.3) million, an increase of $0.2 million, as compared to the net loss of approximately ($0.1) million for the year ended December 31, 2002.

Year Ended December 31, 2002 Compared to the Year ended December 31, 2001

Revenues. Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2002, were approximately $3.5 million, a decrease of $2.4 million, as compared to revenues of approximately $5.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2001. The 41% decrease in revenues in 2002 was primarily attributable to the severe contraction of IT based initiatives among the Company’s clients as a result of economic instability that resulted in a materially reduced level of capital investment in new technologies during 2002.

Gross profit. Gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2002, was $1.0 million, or 29% of revenues, a decrease of $1.8 million as compared to gross profit of $2.8 million, or 47% of revenues, for the year ended December 31, 2001. The decrease in the amount of gross profit was attributable to a reduction in revenues and a degradation of operating margins caused by a decrease in demand for the Company’s services as a result of the difficult economic marketplace during 2002 as compared to 2001.

Sales and marketing. Sales and marketing expenses for the year ended December 31, 2002 were $0.5 million, or 15% of revenues, as compared to $0.6 million, or 10% of revenues, for the year ended December 31, 2001. The $0.1 million decrease in sales and marketing expenses for the year ended December 31, 2002, was primarily attributable to the Company’s attempt to match the size of the Company’s sales force with the operational requirements of the Company’s business.

13


General and administrative. General and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2002 were $0.6 million, or 18% of revenues, as compared to $2.5 million, or 43% of revenues, for the year ended December 31, 2001. The $1.9 million decrease in general and administrative expenses in 2002 was primarily attributable to the Company’s efforts to match general and administrative expenses to the operational requirements of the Company’s business which resulted in a reduction in employees and overhead expenses.

Interest income (expense). Interest income for the year ended December 31, 2002 was $17,658, a decrease of $26,996 or 50%, as compared to $44,654 for the year ended December 31, 2001. The decrease in interest income in 2002 was primarily attributable to lower interest rates. Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2002 was $1,559, a decrease of $3,672 or 70%, as compared to $5,231 in interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2001. The decrease in interest expense in 2002 was primarily attributable to the elimination of the long-term portion of capital lease obligations.

Facilities closing expense. The loss from operations for the year ended December 31, 2001 included a one-time charge of $43,500 for facilities closing expense related to the closure of the Company’s Ohio office.

Asset Impairment. The impairment of assets for the year ended December 31, 2001 included a charge of approximately $5.9 million related to the write-down of intangible assets associated with the purchase of Eclipse in December 1998.

Net income (loss). As a result of the above, the net loss for the year ended December 31, 2002 was $(0.06) million, a decrease of $6.8 million, as compared to the net loss of $6.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2001.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company has, since inception, financed its operations and capital expenditures through the sale of common stock, convertible notes, convertible exchangeable debentures, the proceeds from an exchange offer of debt for equity and the exercise of warrants related to convertible exchangeable debentures. During 2003 and 2002 the Company has financed its operations with its working capital. Cash used in operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2003 was approximately $0.3 million, a decrease of $0.0 million versus the cash used in operating activities of $0.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2002. Total cash used for the year ended December 31, 2003 was approximately $0.3 million, as compared to cash used of $0.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2002. The cash used during the year ended December 31, 2003 was primarily a result of slower collections of accounts receivable and a reduction in accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other liabilities that resulted from lesser revenues in 2003 as compared to 2002. Capital expenditures on property and equipment for the year ended December 31, 2003 were $7,802. There were no Capital expenditures on property and equipment for the year ended December 31, 2002.

As of December 31, 2003, the Company had working capital of $1.1 million. The Company’s primary source of liquidity consists of $0.9 million in cash and cash equivalents and $0.4 million of accounts receivable. The Company’s current liabilities include $0.3 million in accounts payable and accrued expenses.

The Company’s business environment is characterized by rapid technological changes. In 2003, the Company continued to implement a strategic plan to reverse its declining revenue trend by expanding into additional markets and services. The Company requires substantial working capital to fund these endeavors and the future growth of its business, particularly to finance accounts receivable, sales and marketing efforts, and capital expenditures. The Company currently has no material commitments for capital expenditures. The Company’s future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including the rate of revenue growth, if any, the timing and extent of spending for new product and service development, technological changes and market acceptance of the Company’s services. The Company believes that its current cash position is sufficient to meet its capital expenditure and working capital requirements for the near term; however, the Company’s declining revenue growth and the investment to add new markets and services make it difficult for the Company to predict future liquidity requirements with certainty. Over the longer term, the Company must successfully execute its plans to generate significant positive cash flows from increased revenues if it is to sustain adequate liquidity without impairing growth or requiring the infusion of additional funds from external sources. Additionally, an expansion, such as would occur with the acquisition of a significant new subsidiary, might also require external financing that could include additional debt or equity capital. There can be no assurance that additional financing, if required, will be available on acceptable terms, if at all.

Other

Inflation has not had a significant effect on the Company’s operations, as increased costs to the Company have generally been offset by increased prices of products and services sold, although this has been more recently compromised by some of the competitive pricing pressures referenced in the Competitive Pressures Section of Item 1 of this document.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

This report contains forward-looking statements setting forth the Company’s beliefs or expectations relating to future revenues and profitability. Actual results may differ materially from projected or expected results due to changes in the demand for the Company’s products and services, uncertainties relating to the results of operations, dependence on its major customers, risks associated with rapid technological change and the emerging services market, potential fluctuations in quarterly results, and its dependence on key employees and other risks and uncertainties affecting the technology industry generally. The Company disclaims any intent or obligation to up-date publicly these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company has no existing off-balance sheet arrangements as defined under SEC regulations.

The amounts reflected in this table may not actually be realized.

Compensation Committee Report on Executive Compensation

        The Compensation Committee consists of Steve L. Komar, G.W. Norman Wareham and James Ritter, with Mr. Ritter as Chairman of the Committee. The Compensation Committee determines the compensation paid to the Chief Executive Officer and the other executive officers and consultants of the Company. Mr Komar, who is currently serving as the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, does not participate in the determination by the Committee of the compensation paid to the Chief Executive Officer. The Compensation Committee believes that for the Company to be successful long-term and for the Company to increase stockholder value, the Company must be able to hire, retain, adequately compensate and financially motivate talented and ambitious executives. The Compensation Committee attempts to reward executives for both individual achievement and overall Company success.

Executive compensation is made up of three components:

        Base Salary. An executive’s base salary is initially determined by considering the executive’s level of responsibility, prior experience and compensation history. Published salaries of executives in similar positions at other companies of comparable size (sales and/or number of employees) is also considered in establishing base salary.

        Stock Options. In 1997, the Company adopted the 1997 Incentive Stock Plan to provide stock option awards to certain executives of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Compensation Committee believes that the granting of stock options is directly linked to increased executive commitment and motivation and to the long-term success of the Company. The Compensation Committee awards stock options to certain executives of the Company and its subsidiaries. Mr Komar,who is currently serving as the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, does not participate in the determination by the Committee of any stock options to be granted to the Chief Executive Officer. The Compensation Committee uses both subjective appraisals of the executive’s performance and the Company’s performance and financial success during the previous year to determine option grants.

        Bonus. The Company has also implemented an executive bonus program for certain of its executives. Such bonuses are based, in part, on the Company’s financial performance during the previous fiscal year including achievement of gross revenue and net income targets. In addition, objective individual measures of performance compared to the individual’s business unit profit performance may be considered. A subjective rating of the executive’s personal performance may also be considered. Bonuses may be paid in cash or Company Common Stock or a combination of cash and Company Common Stock. Bonuses are typically linked to a percentage of base salary.

22


        In early 2003, the Compensation Committee recommended to the Board of Directors and the Board of Directors approved a compensation package for the Company’s Chief Operations Officer, Mark Mirabile, and the Company’s Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, James McCubbin, that included a base salary of approximately $119,000 in 2003 for both Mr. Mirabile and Mr. McCubbin , plus a possible bonus for each of them of up to 125% of their base salary. Receipt of the bonus is subject to the Company’s achievement of certain performance criteria, including gross revenue and net income targets. If the performance criteria are not achieved or the executive is no longer employed by the Company (other than for cause termination), a bonus may be awarded in the discretion of the Compensation Committee. A bonus of $ 43,500 was awarded to Mr. Mirabile and a bonus of $ 31,500 was awarded to Mr. McCubbin in 2003, based upon the achievement of certain performance criteria established by the Compensation Committee.

        In determining the 2003 compensation packages for these executive officers, the Compensation Committee considered certain achievements that both executives provided in satisfying milestones in executing the Company’s strategic repositioning of the Company.

        Exceptions to the general principles stated above can be made when the Compensation Committee deems them appropriate and in the best interests of stockholders. The Compensation Committee regularly considers other forms of compensation and modifications of its present policies, and will make changes as it deems appropriate. The competitive opportunities to which the Company’s executives are exposed frequently come from private companies or divisions of large companies, for which published compensation data is often unavailable and, therefore, the Compensation Committee’s information about such opportunities is often anecdotal.

        Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, establishes a limit on the deductibility of annual compensation for certain executive officers that exceeds $1,000,000 per year unless certain requirements are met. The Company does not anticipate that any employee will exceed such $1,000,000 cap in the near future but will consider whether any necessary adjustments are appropriate if it becomes likely that any executive officer’s compensation may exceed the $1,000,000 limit.

Stock Options

1997 Stock Incentive Plan. In May 1997, the Board of Directors adopted, and in December 1997 the stockholders of the Company approved, the Company’s 1997 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Incentive Plan”), which provides for the award of a variety of equity-based incentives, including stock awards, stock options, stock appreciation rights, phantom shares, performance unit appreciation rights and dividend equivalents (collectively, “Stock Incentives”). The Incentive Plan is administered by The Compensation Committee and provides for the grant of Stock Incentives officers, key employees and consultants of the Company to purchase up to an aggregate of 3,000,000 shares of Common Stock at not less than 100% of fair market value on the date granted. The vesting and exercisability of any Stock Incentives granted under the Incentive Plan is subject to the determination of and criteria set by the committee. As of March 26, 2003, options to purchase a total of 2,112,000 shares of Common Stock under the Incentive Plan, at prices ranging from $0.07 to $1.35 per share, were outstanding, of which options to purchase 1,886,340 shares were presently exercisable.

        1997 Directors Formula Stock Option Plan. In May 1997, the Board of Directors adopted, and in December 1997 the stockholders of the Company approved, the Company’s 1997 Directors Formula Stock Option Plan (the “Director Plan”). Other than Messrs. Komar, Wareham, and Ritter, directors of the Company who are not employed by the Company and who do not perform services for the Company are eligible to receive options under the Director Plan.

        The Director Plan is administered by a committee which presently consists of Messrs. Komar and McCubbin. Options become exercisable when vested and expire ten years after the date of grant, subject to such shorter period as may be provided in the agreement. A total of 140,000 shares of Common Stock are reserved for possible issuance upon the exercise of options under the Director Plan. During 2003, options granted and vested by the Director’s were returned to the Company and presently no options under the Director Plan is either granted or vested.

Directors’ Fees

        Directors who are not officers or employees of the Company receive an annual fee of $12,000.

        AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT

        Overview

        The Board of Directors has an Audit and Finance Committee, which conducted four meetings during 2003 and presently consists of Steve L. Komar, G.W. Norman Wareham and James Ritter.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

Board of Directors
WidePoint Corporation

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of WidePoint Corporation (a Delaware corporation) and subsidiaries, as of December 31, 2003 and 2002, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2003. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of WidePoint Corporation and subsidiaries at December 31, 2003 and 2002, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2003, in conformity with accounting standards generally accepted in the United States of America.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Basis of Presentation, Organization and Nature of Operations:

WidePoint Corporation (“WidePoint” or “the Company”) is a consulting services firm specializing in planning, managing and implementing Information Technology (“IT”) solutions. Its staff consists of business and computer literate specialists who help customers augment and expand their resident technologic skills and competencies, drive technical innovation, and help develop and maintain a competitive edge in today’s rapidly changing business technology environment.

From 1999 through 2002, the Company undertook several initiatives in an effort to transition the Company from a Millennium solutions provider to an integrated IT Services company.  During 2002 and 2003, the Company witnessed a highly competitive economic environment within the commercial IT sector due to a combination of constrained business investment and an excessive supply of IT consultants.  In the continuing effort to differentiate itself and to overcome the highly competitive environment that has been an obstacle to the expansion of its revenue streams, the Company has modified its strategic plan; including the launch of a federal sector business initiative, continued development of new technologies and capabilities tied to wireless technologies, and the initiation or expansion of several alliances and relationships to expand the Company’s ability to penetrate new market segments.

As a result of the Company’s 2003 efforts, the Company was awarded a GSA Corporate Schedule enhancing its ability to market into federal government markets.  In addition, the Company agreed to acquire Chesapeake Government Technologies, Inc. (“Chesapeake”), on March 24, 2004.  The acquisition of Chesapeake accelerates the Company’s ability to compete for federal government business due to Chesapeake’s existing alliances and expertise within the federal sector marketplace.  The Company will leverage Chesapeake and its GSA Schedule to expand its Revenue base, even as it continues to look for and analyze growth alternatives via selected merger and acquisition opportunities.

The Company’s current costs consist primarily of the salaries and benefits paid to the Company’s technical, marketing and administrative personnel.  As a result of its plan to expand its operations through a combination of internal growth initiatives and merger and acquisition opportunities, the Company expects such costs to increase.  The Company’s profitability depends upon both the volume of services performed and the Company’s ability to manage costs.  As a significant portion of the Company’s cost structure is labor related, the Company must effectively manage these costs to achieve and grow its profitability.  To date, the Company has attempted to maximize its operating margins through efficiencies achieved by the use of the Company’s proprietary methodologies, and by offsetting increases in consultant salaries with increases in consultant fees received from its clients. The Company may need to raise additional working and investment capital through either the use of debt and/or the issuance of additional equity instruments to fund its growth initiatives. The Company believes that its cash on hand is adequate to finance operations through 2004.

2. Significant Accounting Policies:

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of acquired entities since their respective dates of acquisition. All significant intercompany amounts have been eliminated.

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 affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less are considered cash equivalents for purposes of these consolidated financial statements. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents with various major financial institutions. At December 31, 2003 and 2002, cash and cash equivalents of investments in money market and overnight sweep accounts were $250,144 and $1,207,847, respectively. At times, cash balances held at financial institutions were in excess of federally insured limits. The Company places its temporary cash investments with high-credit, quality financial institutions, and as a result, the Company believes that no significant concentration of credit risk exists with respect to these cash investments.

Accounts Receivable

The majority of the Company’s accounts receivable are due from established companies in the following industries: manufacturing, consumer product goods, direct marketing, healthcare and financial services. Credit is extended based on evaluation of a customers’ financial condition and, generally, collateral is not required. Accounts receivable are due within 30 to 45 days and are stated at amounts due from customers net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. Accounts outstanding longer than the contractual payment terms are considered past due.

The Company determines its allowance by considering a number of factors, including the length of time trade accounts receivable are past due, the Company’s previous loss history, the customer’s current ability to pay its obligation to the Company, and the condition of the general economy and the industry as a whole. The Company writes-off accounts receivable when they become uncollectible, and payments subsequently received on such receivables are credited to the allowance for doubtful accounts

For the year ended December 31, 2003,
  
   Allowance for doubtful accounts   $ 3,950   $ 17,864   $ 2,995   $ 18,819  

Unbilled accounts receivable on time-and-materials contracts represent costs incurred and gross profit recognized near the period-end but not billed until the following period. Unbilled accounts receivable on fixed-price contracts consist of amounts incurred that are not yet billable under contract terms. At December 31, 2003 and 2002, unbilled accounts receivable totaled $6,207 and $5,483, respectively.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue on time-and-materials contracts is recognized based upon hours incurred at contract rates plus direct costs. Revenue on fixed-price contracts is recognized on the percentage-of-completion method based on costs incurred in relation to total estimated costs. Anticipated losses are recognized as soon as they become known. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined. Out of pocket expenses for billable work are recognized as revenuse and such out of pocket expenses are expensed in Cost of Revenues.

Significant Customers

During 2003, four customers individually represented 18%, 14%, 13% and 13% of revenues. During 2002, three customers individually represented 22%, 15%, and 13% of revenue.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2003, three customers individually represented 26% and 11% and 10% of accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2002, two customers individually represented 41% and 11% of accounts receivable.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” Under SFAS No.109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed based on the difference between the financial statement and income tax bases of assets and liabilities using the enacted marginal tax rate. SFAS No. 109 requires that the net deferred tax asset be reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the net deferred tax asset will not be realized.

F-8


Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization. Property and equipment consisted of the following:

December 31,
2003
2002
Computers, equipment and software     $ 25,535   $ 43,596  
Less- Accumulated depreciation and amortization    (18,555 )  (31,631 )


    $ 6,990   $ 11,965  



Depreciation expense is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of three years.

In accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position 98-1 “Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use,” the Company capitalizes costs related to software and implementation in connection with its internal use software systems.

Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews its long-lived assets, including property and equipment, identifiable intangibles, and goodwill whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. To determine recoverability of its long-lived assets, the Company evaluates the probability that future undiscounted net cash flows will be less than the carrying amount of the assets.

During the fourth quarter of 2001, the Company determined that certain of its long-lived assets related to its acquisition of Eclipse were impaired and should be written off in accordance with the guidance of SFAS No. 121, “Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of”. This analysis was based in part on the Company’s continued refinement of its strategic direction and changes to its business plan that eliminated the Eclipse business unit. The assets impaired included the remaining intangible assets related to the goodwill associated with the original Eclipse acquisition transaction. The Company recorded an impairment charge of $5,853,693 to write-off the net book value of these long-lived assets in the 2001 consolidated statement of operations.

Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Share

Basic income or loss per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing net income or loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted income or loss per share includes the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. The treasury stock effect of options and warrants to purchase 2,112,000, 1,978,000, and 2,845,500, shares of common stock outstanding at December 31, 2003, 2002, and 2001, respectively, has not been included in the calculation of the net loss per share as such effect would have been anti-dilutive. As a result of these items, the basic and diluted loss per share for all periods presented are identical.

F-9


Reclassifications

Certain amounts in prior years’ financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation.

Stock-based compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based employee compensation arrangements using the intrinsic value method in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and complies with the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123 “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.” Under APB Opinion No. 25, compensation cost is generally recognized based on the difference, if any, on the date of grant between the fair value of the Company’s common stock and the amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of FASB Statement 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, using the assumptions described in Note 8, to its stock-based employee plans.

Year ended December 31,

    Basic and diluted - pro forma   $ 0.06   $ 0.05   $ 0.57  

The pro forma disclosure is not likely to be indicative of pro forma results which may be expected in future years because of the fact that options vest over several years, pro forma compensation expense is recognized as the options vest and additional awards may also be granted.

F-10


For purposes of determining the effect of these options, the fair value of each option is estimated on the date of grant based on the Black-Scholes single-option pricing model assuming the following for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001:

2003
2002
2001
Dividend yield - - -
Risk-free interest rate 3.03 - 3.25% 2.70 - 4.13% 4.38 - 5.28%
Volatility factor 140% 156% 140%
Expected life in years 5 5 5

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

WidePoint financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable. The fair value of these financial instruments approximates their carrying value as of December 31, 2003, due to their short-term nature.

New accounting pronouncements

In April 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 149, “Amendment on Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” which is effective for all contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003. SFAS No. 149 clarifies financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts (collectively referred to as derivatives) and for hedging activities under FASB Statement No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” The Company has determined that SFAS No. 149 has no impact on its financial statements.

In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity,” which is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. SFAS No. 150 requires that an issuer classify certain financial instruments as a liability (or an asset in some circumstances). The Company is not currently the issuer of any financial instruments that would qualify under SFAS No. 150. Therefore, the Company has determined that the adoption of this pronouncement did not have an impact on its financial statements.

3. Promissory Notes:

Related Party Notes

Pursuant to stock purchase agreements entered into on July 8, 2002, between the Company and each of Steve L. Komar, James T. McCubbin and Mark M. Mirabile, the Company privately sold 865,000 shares of its common stock to each such person without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, pursuant to the private offering exemption under Section 4(2) thereof, in consideration of a three (3) year full-recourse, five percent (5%) interest bearing promissory note with equal annual principal payments due, issued by each such person to the Company in the principal amount of $60,550.00, or $181,650.00 in the aggregate (which equals $0.07 per share, being the closing price of the Company’s common stock on July 8, 2002).

F-11


4. Intangible Assets:

As described in Note 2, the Company recognized an impairment charge in 2001 related to the acquisition of Eclipse. Prior to this write-off, intangible assets associated with the Eclipse acquisition were being amortized over a weighted-average life of 25 years. Accumulated amortization related to the Eclipse intangibles was approximately $1,167,000 as of December 31, 2001 and the Company recognized amortization expense of approximately $302,000 during 2001 prior to the disposition.

Prior to the disposition of the PMC subsidiary , intangible assets associated with its PMC acquisition were being amortized over a weighted average life of 10 years.

5. Income Taxes:

The Company had no provision for income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002, and 2001.

The provision (benefit) for income taxes results in effective rates, which differ from the federal statutory rate as follows:

For the Years Ended
December 31,

2003

Statutory federal income tax rate      (34.0 )%  (34.0 )%  (34.0 )%

Other    1.6 %  4.5 %  0.4 %



    --  --  --




F-12


        The deferred tax assets (liabilities) consisted of the following as of December 31, 2003 and 2002 (in thousands):

December 31,
2003
2002
Deferred tax assets:            
     Net operating loss carryforwards   $ 6,561,552   $ 6,440,151  
     AMT credit    13,853    13,853  
     Capital losses in excess of capital gains    696,215    696,215  

     Other assets    162,189    321,545

         --    --  


                    
Less- Valuation allowance    (7,433,809 )  (7,471,764 )


   $--   $--  



        The Company has determined that its net deferred tax asset did not satisfy the recognition criteria set forth in SFAS No. 109 and, accordingly, established a valuation allowance for 100 percent of the net deferred tax asset.

        As of December 31, 2003 the Company had net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $16,432,701 to offset future taxable income. These carry forwards expire between 2010 and 2023. Under the provision of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, when there has been a change in an entity’s ownership of 50 percent or greater, utilization of net operating loss carry forwards may be limited. As a result of WidePoint's equity transactions, the Company's net operating losses will be subject to such limitations and may not be available to offset future income for tax purposes. The capital losses in excess of capital gains expire in the year 2005.

6. Common Stock:

Pursuant to stock purchase agreements entered into on July 8, 2002, between the Company and each of Steve L. Komar, James T. McCubbin and Mark M. Mirabile, the Company privately sold 865,000 shares of its common stock to each such person without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, pursuant to the private offering exemption under Section 4(2) thereof, in consideration of a three (3) year full-recourse note. (See note 3)

7. Stock Options and Stock-Based Compensation:

1997 Stock Incentive Plan

In May 1997, the Company adopted the 1997 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Incentive Plan”). The purpose of the Incentive Plan is to provide additional compensation to employees, officers, directors and consultants of the Company or its affiliates. Under the terms of the Incentive Plan, as amended, 3,000,000 shares of common stock have been reserved for issuance as incentive awards under the Incentive Plan. The number of shares of Company common stock associated with any forfeited stock incentive will be added back to the number of shares that can be issued under the Incentive Plan. Awards under the Incentive Plan and their terms are determined by a committee (the “Committee”) that has been selected by the Board of Directors. The Incentive Plan permits the Committee to make awards of a variety of equity-based incentives (collectively, “Stock Incentives”).

F-13


The Incentive Plan allows for the grant of incentive stock options and nonqualified stock options. The exercise price of the options will be established by the Committee. The term of an option will be specified in the applicable agreement provided, however, that no option can be exercised ten years after the date of grant. In addition to stock options, the Incentive Plan also allows for the grant of other Stock Incentives, including stock appreciation rights, stock awards, phantom shares, performance unit appreciation rights and dividend equivalent rights. These Stock Incentives will be subject to the terms prescribed by the Committee in accordance with the provisions of the Incentive Plan.

In February 1998, the Company amended the Incentive Plan to permit the adjustment of the terms and conditions of outstanding options.

1997 Directors Formula Stock Option Plan

In May 1997, the Company adopted the 1997 Directors Formula Stock Option Plan (the “Director Plan”). The Company has reserved 120,000 shares of common stock to underlie stock options granted under the Director Plan. Any shares associated with forfeited options are added back to the number of shares that underlie stock options to be granted under the Director Plan.

The awards of stock options under the Director Plan are determined by the express terms of the Director Plan. Generally, only non-employee directors of the Company who do not perform services for the Company are eligible to participate in the Director Plan. The Director Plan provides for option grants to purchase 12,000 shares of common stock upon a non employee director’s initial appointment to the Board of Directors. The options will vest immediately to 8,000 shares of common stock underlying such options, will vest to an additional 2,000 shares after the director’s completion of the first year of continued service to the Company, and will vest to the remaining 2,000 shares after the completion of the second year of continued service to the Company. Each option granted pursuant to the Director Plan will be evidenced by an agreement and will be subject to additional terms as set forth in the agreement. Options become exercisable when vested and expire ten years after the date of grant, subject to any shorter period that may be provided in the agreement.

     Granted    400,000    0.07 - 0.13    0.12  
     Canceled or expired    (104,000 )  0.12 - 14.06    0.17  



Outstanding, December 31, 2003    2,112,000    0.07 - 1.35    0.14  




As of December 31, 2003 and 2002, options to purchase 1,447,340 and 1,075,673 shares, respectively of common stock were exercisable with a weighted average exercise price of $0.14 and $0.15, respectively. The weighted-average remaining contractual life of the options outstanding at December 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002, was 8 and 8.17 years, respectively. The weighted-average fair value of options granted in 2003 and 2002 was $0.04 and $0.06, respectively.

Had compensation expense been determined based on the fair value of the options at the grant dates consistent with the method of accounting under SFAS No. 123, the Company’s net loss and net loss per share would have been increased to the pro forma amounts indicated below:

For the Years Ended December 31,
2003
2002
2001
Net loss:                
     As reported   $ 291,088   $ 59,609   $ 6,786,839  
     Pro forma   $ 906,792   $ 703,787   $ 7,441,497  
Pro forma basic and diluted net loss per share:  
     As reported   $ 0.02   $ 0.00   $ 0.52  
     Pro forma   $ 0.06   $ 0.05   $ 0.57  

The fair value of each option is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions: no dividend yield, expected volatility of 140-156 percent, risk-free interest rates from 2.70 to 5.28 percent and an expected term of five years.

On October 1, 1999, the Company issued a stock warrant to purchase 200,000 shares of common stock at $5.00 per share, an amount that exceeded the stock’s trading price on that date, as part of the PMC acquisition. The warrant has a term of 3 years. The Company used a fair-value option pricing model to value this stock warrant at approximately $140,000. This value has been reflected as part of stock warrants in the stockholders’ equity section of the consolidated balance sheet and has been included as part of the Company’s purchase accounting for the PMC acquisition. This warrant expired on October 1, 2002 and as such, the Company reversed the expense recognized in 1999 and reduced the amounts allocated to deferred compensation and to the warrant.
