WIDEPOINT CORPORATION
AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Basis of Presentation, Organization and Nature of Operations
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC). Pursuant to such regulations, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. The Company believes the presentation and disclosures herein are adequate to make the information not misleading, but do not purport to be a complete presentation inasmuch as all note disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles are not included. In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all elimination entries and normal recurring adjustments that are necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005.
WidePoint Corporation (WidePoint or the Company) is a technology-based provider of product and services to both the government sector and commercial markets. We specialize in providing systems engineering, information technology services and information assurance in the form of identity management services. Our subsidiary, Operational Research Consultants, Inc. (ORC), is the leading provider of eAuthentication federal credentialing and federal compliant Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) managed services to the United States Government. We intend to grow over the next few years through a combination of organic growth (acquiring selective strategic assets and/or other companies) and by operational efficiencies among our subsidiaries.
On October 25, 2004, we completed the acquisition of ORC. ORC specializes in information technology (IT) integration and secure authentication processes and software, and providing services to the United States Government. ORC has been at the forefront of implementing PKI technologies. PKI technology is rapidly becoming the technology of choice to enable security services within and between different computer systems utilized by various agencies and departments of the United States Government. Based on asymmetric key cryptography, PKI technology uses a class of algorithms in which a user can receive two electronic keys, consisting of a public key and a private key, to encrypt any information and/or communication being transmitted to or from the user within a computer network and between different computer networks. The user provides his or her public key to any and all desired persons or entities. The user does not share the private key with anyone else. The public key will encrypt all information and/or communication from any sender and the private key will allow only the holder of the private key to unlock and decrypt such information and/or communication. Thus, the algorithms used in PKI technologies help to achieve authentication of users and information, integrity of all data and communications, non-repudiation or rejection of data and communications, and support confidentiality of data and communications. PKI also speeds up and simplifies the delivery of products and services by providing electronic approaches to processes that historically have been paper based. These electronic solutions depend on PKI for identification and authentication; data integrity; confidentiality of information and transactions; and non-repudiation to facilitate mission-related transactions internal to an organization and with external organizations. ORC is currently one of only a few organizations that has been designated by the United States Government as an External Certificate Authority for the U.S. Government. As such, ORC is authorized to issue all permissible certificate types and services in accordance with Defense Information Systems Agency and National Security Agency standards, necessary for the interoperable, secure exchange of information between U.S. Governmental agencies, contractors, and international allies such as members of NATO.
We are actively seeking the strategic acquisition of other assets or companies with complementary technical capabilities and we are focused on providing IT, software and related services to the U.S. Government (both defense agencies and civilian agencies), state governments, local agencies, and corporate clients. If successful, we anticipate that we will become a significantly larger company with broader capabilities and resources than has been the case historically.
The Company has physical locations in Oakbrook Terrace, Illinois; Fairfax, Virginia; Alexandria, Virginia; and Chesapeake, Virginia. Many Company employees work at various client locations throughout the upper Midwest, Texas, and Mid-Atlantic areas of the United States.
5
In addition, most of the Companys current costs consist primarily of the salaries and benefits paid to the Companys technical, marketing and administrative personnel and as a result of our plan to expand our operations through a combination of internal growth initiatives and merger and acquisition opportunities, we expect such costs to increase. The Companys profitability also depends upon both the volume of services performed and the Companys ability to manage costs. A significant portion of the Companys costs is labor related, so the Company must effectively manage these costs to achieve and increase its profitability. To date, the Company has attempted to maximize its operating margins through efficiencies achieved by the use of the Companys proprietary methodologies, and by offsetting increases in consultant salaries with increases in consultant fees received from our clients. The uncertainties relating to our ability to achieve and maintain profitability, obtain additional funding to fund our growth strategy and provide the necessary investment to continue to upgrade our management reporting systems to meet the continuing demands of the present regulatory changes affect the comparability of the information reflected in the selected consolidated financial information presented above. We believe that our cash on hand is adequate to finance operations through at least calendar 2006.
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 inter-company amounts have been eliminated.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated 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.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts in prior years financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation.
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. Included in the June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 cash balances, was $1,914,261 and $2,131,870, respectively, in interest bearing balances in one bank in excess of federally insured amounts. 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 Companys accounts receivable are due from either United States governmental agencies or 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 60 days and are stated at amounts due from customers net of an allowance for doubtful accounts if deemed necessary. Accounts outstanding longer than the contractual payment terms are reviewed for collectability and after 90 days 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 Companys previous loss history, the customers 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.

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 June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, unbilled accounts receivable totaled $15,268 and $38,977, respectively.
Revenue Recognition
The majority of the Companys revenues are derived from cost-plus, or time-and-materials contracts. Under cost-plus contracts, revenues are recognized as costs are incurred and include an estimate of applicable fees earned. For time-and-material contracts, revenues are computed by multiplying the number of direct labor-hours expended in the performance of the contract by the contract billing rates and adding other billable direct costs. In the event of a termination of a contract, all billed and unbilled amounts associated with those task orders where work has been performed would be billed and collected. The termination provisions of the contract would be accounted for at the time of termination. Any deferred and/or amortization cost would either be billed or expensed depending upon the termination provisions of the contract. Further, the Company has had no history of losses nor has it identified any specific risk of loss at June 30, 2006 or on December 31, 2005 due to termination provisions and thus has not recorded provisions for such events.
The Companys other revenues are derived from the delivery of non-customized software. In such cases revenue is recognized when there is persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists (generally a purchase order has been received or contract signed), delivery has occurred, the charge for the software is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is probable.
Significant Customers
For the quarter ended June 30, 2006, one customer, Headquarters Cryptologic Systems Group (HQ CPSG), individually represented approximately 37% of revenues. Due to the nature of our business and the relative size of certain contracts, which are entered into in the ordinary course of business, the loss of any single significant customer, including the above customer, could have a material adverse effect on results. For the quarter ended June 30, 2005, one customer, The Department of Homeland Security, individually represented 22% of revenues.
Fair value of financial instruments
The Companys financial instruments include cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and short-term debt and other financial instruments associated with the issuance of the common stock warrants attributable to the preferred stock capital investment in the Company in October of 2004. The carrying values of cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. The carrying amounts of the Companys bank borrowings under its credit facility approximate fair value because the interest rates are reset periodically to reflect current market rates.
Prior to December 31, 2005, the Companys financial instruments also included a financial instrument in which a valuation for the warrants from the Barron Partners, LP preferred financing agreement, which contained a registration rights agreement, included a liquidated damages provision. Accordingly, a Black Scholes calculation was used to determine the fair value of those warrants which were classified as a financial instrument. The financial instrument was marked to market at June 30, 2005. All of the warrants associated with the Barron Partners, LP preferred financing agreement were exercised prior to December 31, 2005 and therefore no financial instrument existed as of June 30, 2006.
7
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments potentially subject the Company to credit risk, which consist of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. As of June 30, 2006, one customer, HQ CPSG, accounted for approximately 44% of accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2005, one customer, The Department of Homeland Security, individually represented 30% 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.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization. Property and equipment consisted of the following:
June 30, 2006 |
December 31, 2005 | |||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Computers, equipment and software | $ | 108,629 | $ | 93,433 | ||||
Less- Accumulated depreciation and amortization | (52,987 | ) | (37,513 | ) | ||||
$ | 55,642 | $ | 55,920 | |||||
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.
Software Development Costs
WidePoint accounts for software development costs related to software products for sale, lease or otherwise marketed in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 86, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed. For projects fully funded by the Company, significant development costs are capitalized from the point of demonstrated technological feasibility until the point in time that the product is available for general release to customers. Once the product is available for general release, capitalized costs are amortized based on units sold, or on a straight-line basis over a six-year period or other such shorter period as may be required. WidePoint recorded approximately $14,000 of amortization expense for PKI-I and PKI-II for the three month period ending June 30, 2006. WidePoint recorded approximately $100,000 of amortization expense for PKI-I and PKI-II for the year ended December 31, 2005. Capitalized software costs included in Other Intangibles at June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 were approximately $0.8 million and $0.9 million, respectively.
8
Goodwill, Other Intangible Assets, and Long-Lived Assets
Goodwill represents costs in excess of fair values assigned to the underlying net assets acquired. The Company has adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 141, Business Combinations, and SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. These standards require the use of the purchase method of accounting for business combinations, set forth the accounting for the initial recognition of acquired intangible assets and goodwill and describe the accounting for intangible assets and goodwill subsequent to initial recognition. Under the provisions of these standards, goodwill is not subject to amortization and annual review is required for impairment. The impairment test under SFAS No. 142 is based on a two-step process involving (i) comparing the estimated fair value of the related reporting unit to its net book value and (ii) comparing the estimated implied fair value of goodwill to its carrying value. Impairment losses are recognized whenever the implied fair value of goodwill is less than its carrying value. The Companys annual impairment testing date is December 31.
The Company recognizes an acquired intangible apart from goodwill whenever the intangible arises from contractual or other legal rights, or when it can be separated or divided from the acquired entity and sold, transferred, licensed, rented or exchanged, either individually or in combination with a related contract, asset or liability. Such intangibles are amortized over their useful lives. Impairment losses are recognized if the carrying amount of an intangible subject to amortization is not recoverable from expected future cash flows and its carrying amount exceeds its fair value.
The Company reviews its long-lived assets, including property and equipment, identifiable intangibles, and goodwill annually or 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.
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 the conversion of preferred stock to common stock, options and warrants to purchase 13,293,833 and 25,160,182 shares of common stock outstanding for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, 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 the three month period ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, are presented as identical. The treasury stock effect of the conversion of preferred stock to common stock, options and warrants to purchase 15,741,849 and 26,536,662 shares of common stock outstanding for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, 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 the six month period ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, are presented as identical.
Stock-based compensation
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment, (SFAS No. 123R). This statement requires that the costs of employee share-based payments be measured at fair value on the awards grant date and recognized in the financial statements over the requisite service period.
Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123R using the modified prospective application transition method. Under this method, compensation cost for the portion of awards for which the requisite service has not yet been rendered that are outstanding as of the adoption date is recognized over the remaining service period. The compensation cost for that portion of awards is based on the grant-date fair value of those awards as calculated for pro forma disclosures under SFAS No. 123, as originally issued. All new awards that are modified, repurchased, or cancelled after the adoption date are accounted for under provisions of SFAS No. 123R. Prior periods have not been restated under this transition method. The Company recognizes share-based compensation ratably using the straight-line attribution method over the requisite service period. In addition, pursuant to SFAS No. 123R, the Company is required to estimate the amount of expected forfeitures when calculating share-based compensation, instead of accounting for forfeitures as they occur, which was the Companys practice prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R. As of January 1, 2006, the cumulative effect of adopting the estimated forfeiture method was not material.

Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company accounted for share-based compensation using the intrinsic value method prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations and elected the disclosure option of SFAS No. 123 as amended by SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation Transition and Disclosure. SFAS No. 123 requires that companies either recognize compensation expense for grants of stock, stock options and other equity instruments based on fair value, or provide pro forma disclosure of net income and earnings per share in the notes to the financial statements. Accordingly, the Company measured compensation expense for stock options as the excess, if any, of the estimated fair market value of the Companys stock at the date of grant over the exercise price. The following table details the effect on net income and earnings per share for the three months ended June 30, 2005 had compensation expense for the stock plans been recorded based on the fair value method under SFAS No. 123.

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.
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 three months ended June 30 , 2005:
Expected dividend yield | -- |
Expected volatility | 156% |
Risk-free interest rate | 2.70-4.13 |
Expected option life (in years) | 5 |
The amount of compensation expense recognized under FAS 123(R) during the three months ended June 30, 2006 under our plans was comprised of the following:
10
Three Months ended June 30, 2006 |
Six Months ended June 30, 2006 | |
General and administrative expense |
$92,329 | $153,392 |
Share-based compensation before taxes | 92,329 | $153,392 |
Related income tax benefits | -- | -- |
Share-based compensation expense | 92,329 | $153,392 |
Net share-based compensation expenses per basic | ||
and diluted common shares | $0.00 | $0.00 |
Since we have cumulative operating losses as of June 30, 2006 for which a valuation allowance has been established, we recorded no income tax benefits for share-based compensation arrangements. Additionally, no incremental tax benefits were recognized from stock options exercised during the quarter ended June 30, 2006, which would have resulted in a reclassification to reduce net cash provided by operating activities with an offsetting increase in net cash provided by financing activities. Share-based compensation expense was not recognized during the quarter ended June 30, 2005.
The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model (Black-Scholes model) that uses the assumptions noted in the following table. Expected volatilities are based on the historical volatility of our common stock. The expected term of options granted is based on analyses of historical employee termination rates and option exercises. The risk-free interest rates are based on the U.S. Treasury yield for a period consistent with the expected term of the option in effect at the time of the grant. Share-based compensation expense recognized during the period is based on the value of the portion of share-based payment awards that is ultimately expected to vest during the period. The estimated forfeiture rates are based on analyses of historical data, taking into account patterns of involuntary termination and other factors. The following assumptions were used to determine share-based compensation expense for the three-month period ended June 30, 2006:
Expected dividend yield | -- |
Expected volatility | 153% |
Risk-free interest rate | 4.8% |
Expected option life (in years) | 4 |
A summary of the option activity under our plans during the period ended June 30, 2006 is presented below:

The aggregate remaining contractual lives in years for the options outstanding and exercisable on June 30, 2006 was 4.90 and 4.36, respectively.
Aggregate intrinsic value represents total pretax intrinsic value (the difference between WidePoints closing stock price on June 30, 2006 and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of in-the-money options) that would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their options on June 30, 2006. This amount changes based on the fair market value of WidePoints stock. The total intrinsic value of options outstanding as of June 30, 2006 was $18,587,534. The total intrinsic value of options exercisable on June 30, 2006 was $16,842,749. The total intrinsic value of options exercised for the second quarter of fiscal 2006 was $580,950. The Company issues new shares of common stock upon the exercise of stock options.
At June 30, 2006, 2,791,289 shares were available for future grants under the Company's 1997 Stock Compensation Plan.
At June 30, 2006, the Company had approximately $502,000 of total unamortized compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, related to stock option plans that will be recognized over the weighted average period of 3.41 years.
3. Debt
As of December 31, 2005 and June 30, 2006, respectively, the Company maintained no outstanding balances under our senior lending agreement with RBC-Centura Bank, which expired on June 1, 2006. The senior lending agreement was executed on October 25, 2004 and had a maturity date of October 25, 2005, which was extended until June 1, 2006 at which time it expired. The Agreement provided for a $2.5 million revolving credit facility. Borrowings under the Agreement were collateralized by the Companys eligible contract receivables, inventory, all of its stock in certain of our subsidiaries and certain property and equipment, and bear interest at the prime rate.
WidePoints credit facility required that the Company maintain specified financial covenants relating to fixed charge coverage, interest coverage, and debt coverage, and maintain a certain level of consolidated net worth. As of and during the quarter ended June 30, 2006 and during the year ended December 31, 2005, respectively, WidePoint was either in compliance with each of these financial covenants, received waivers, or was allowed to continue to utilize the credit facility. The weighted average borrowings under the revolving portion of the facility during the quarters ended June 30, 2006 and June 30, 2005, were $0 and $1.2 million, respectively.
The total interest fees paid, was approximately $0 and $19,000, respectively, for the quarters ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
4. Goodwill and Intangible Assets
12
Effective January 1, 2002, WidePoint adopted SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. SFAS 142 requires, among other things, the discontinuance of goodwill amortization. Under SFAS 142, goodwill is to be reviewed at least annually for impairment; the Company has elected to perform this review annually on December 31st of each calendar year. These reviews have resulted in no adjustments in goodwill.
During 2004, WidePoint completed the acquisitions of Operational Research Consultants, Inc. The Company has also capitalized software development costs associated with its PKI initiative, established the purchase price allocation of the assets acquired and allocated the purchase price of the components and software capitalization of goodwill and other intangibles as follows:

For quarter ended 6/30/06 | $ 101,107 | ||
Estimated Amortization Expense: | |||
For year ended 12/31/06 | $ 404,428 | ||
For year ended 12/31/07 | $ 404,428 | ||
For year ended 12/31/08 | $ 404,428 | ||
For year ended 12/31/09 | $ 374,270 | ||
(1) | The ORC intangible is made up of the estimated preliminary purchase accounting associated with the valuation assigned by the Company to ORCs customer relationships and PKI business opportunity. The PKI business opportunity intangible has an estimated life of 6 years and ORCs customer relationships have an estimated life of 5 years. The PKI business opportunity was estimated based upon the contractual life assigned to the authority to issue PKI certificates by the federal government. The fair value of the PKI business opportunity was estimated using the expected present value of future cash flows estimated by the Company for ORCs PKI business opportunity. ORCs customer relationship intangible was estimated based upon an analysis of the historic life of ORCs present customer relationships and their present contract opportunities. A fair value was estimated using the expected present value of the estimated future cash flows generated from those relationships. The weighted average life of this intangible asset class is 4.5 years. |
(2) | The PKI-I intangible is related to internally generated software that was associated with ORCs PKI-I development of its phase 1 software offerings. ORC commenced sales of its PKI-I service in August of 2004. It has a weighted average life of 4 years and is based upon the contractual life assigned to the authority to issue PKI certificates by the federal government. |
(3) | The PKI-II intangible is related to a secondary PKI software development effort by ORC. ORC commenced sales of its PKI-II service in August of 2005. It has a weighted average life of 4.5 years and is based upon the contractual life assigned to the authority to issue PKI certificates by the federal government. |
The total weighted average life of all of the intangibles is approximately 5 years.
13
There were no amounts of research and development assets acquired during the quarter ended June 30, 2006, nor any written-off in the period.
There were no changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the quarter ended June 30, 2006.
The goodwill acquired is associated with the acquisition of ORC in October of 2004. No impairment was required as of June 30, 2006.
5. 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.
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, less the deferred liability related to the Section 481(a) adjustment.
As of December 31, 2005 the Company had net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $22,792,163 to offset future taxable income. These carry forwards expire between 2010 and 2025. Under the provision of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, when there has been a change in an entitys ownership of 50 percent or greater, utilization of net operating loss carry forwards may be limited. As a result of WidePoints equity transactions, the Companys net operating losses will be subject to such limitations and may not be available to offset future income for tax purposes.
6. Temporary Preferred Equity
Temporary Preferred Stock
Our certificate of incorporation authorizes the Company to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.001 par value per share, of which 0 and 1,195,714 shares were outstanding at June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively.
Pursuant to the Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on November 9, 2004, 2,045,714 shares of the Companys preferred stock are designated as Series A Convertible Preferred Stock having the following rights:
Each share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock has a conversion rate equal to $0.175 per share and is convertible at the option of the holder into ten shares of common stock.
The conversion of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is subject to the following conditions:
Subject to waiver, holders of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock do not have the right to convert any portion of the preferred stock to the extent that after giving effect to such conversion, the holder (together with any affiliates of the holder), would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the number of shares of the common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion. In the event the converted shares when issued and combined with all other shares of common stock beneficially owned by the holder and its affiliates equals, at any time, more than 4.99% of the total number of then outstanding shares of common stock, then for so long as such holder and its affiliates beneficially owns more than 4.99% of the total number of then outstanding shares of common stock, the holder of the converted shares and its affiliates shall have no more than 22% of the total voting power of all outstanding shares of common stock at any time. |
14
Holders of WidePoints Series A Convertible Preferred Stock are entitled to receive a liquidation preference equal to $1.75 per share in the event of the liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Companys business.
Holders of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock are not entitled to voting rights. However, unless approved by the holders of the outstanding Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, the Company cannot: (a) alter or change adversely the powers, preferences or rights given to the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock or alter or amend the certificate of designation relating to the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, (b) authorize or create any class of stock ranking as to dividends or distribution of assets upon a liquidation senior to or otherwise pari passu with the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, (c) amend the certificate of incorporation or other charter documents in breach of the certificate of designations, or (d) increase the authorized number of shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.
Dividends are not payable with respect to the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.
Shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock are subject to automatic conversion generally under the following circumstances: (i) a change in control of WidePoint, (ii) the consummation of a public offering (with a value of at least $5 million or more) of our common stock, (iii) upon receipt of the consent of all holders of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, or (iv) in the event that the fair market value of the outstanding shares of our common stock exceeds $100 million.
As a result of the issuance of a registration rights agreement that contained a liquidated damages clause, the Company was required to follow the Emerging Issues Task Force EITF 00-19, Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Companys Own Stock by the Company. In light of the required accounting treatment under EITF 00-19, the entire proceeds of the issuance, other than a nominal amount equal to par value, were allocated to warrants and as such no proceeds were allocated to the preferred stock issuance at December 31, 2005. As a result of the effectiveness of the registration statement registering the underlying shares of common stock on February 9, 2006, the temporary preferred equity has been reclassified to permanent preferred equity for preferred stock held as of June 30, 2006.
Registration Rights Agreement
The shares of common stock issuable by WidePoint to Barron Partners, LLP (Barron) upon a conversion of shares of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock or an election to exercise all or a portion of the warrants will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933. To provide for the registration of such underlying shares, Barron and WidePoint entered into a registration rights agreement, dated October 20, 2004, requiring WidePoint to prepare and file a registration statement covering the resale of the shares of common stock underlying the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and warrants. The registration statement was filed on January 5, 2005. The registration rights agreement further required WidePoint to use its best efforts to cause such registration statement to be declared effective by February 22, 2005 (i.e., 120 days following the closing of the sale of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock).
The registration rights agreement also contains a liquidated damages provision which called for Barron to receive from WidePoint a specified amount if: (i) WidePoint failed to file a registration statement covering the underlying shares of common stock; (ii) the registration statement is not declared effective by February 22, 2005; or (iii) the registration statement is not effective in the period from April 23, 2005 (i.e., 180 days following the October 25, 2004 closing of the preferred financing) through the two years following the date of the registration rights agreement, subject to permissible blackout periods and registration maintenance periods. In the event that one of the aforementioned events occurs, the registration rights agreement calls for WidePoint to pay Barron a cash amount equal to the lesser of $20,000 or 1% of the purchase price of that portion of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock which has not been converted into common stock as of the occurrence of such event, with such amount to be paid by WidePoint to Barron on a monthly basis after the occurrence of such event. Barron was entitled to receive the aforementioned damages until such time as the registration statement was declared effective.
15
The registration statement registering the underlying shares of common stock was declared effective on February 9, 2006. Barron has waived any damages through February 9, 2006. If the registration statement does not remain effective during the above two-year period, the maximum future damages that would have to be paid subsequent to that date would be $160,000.
7. Stockholders Equity
The Company is authorized to issue 50,000,000 shares of common stock, $.001 par value per share. At the annual meeting of stockholders that was held on January 27, 2005, stockholders approved a proposal to increase the authorized shares of common stock from 50,000,000 to 110,000,000. As of June 30, 2006 there were 46,895,807 shares of common stock outstanding. The rights, preferences and privileges of holders of common stock are subject to, and may be adversely affected by the rights of the holders of shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and of any additional series of preferred stock that may be designated and issued in the future.
Preferred Stock
Our certificate of incorporation authorizes the Company to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.001 par value per share, of which 488,214 and 0 shares were outstanding at June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively. As a result of the effectiveness of the registration statement registering the underlying shares of common stock on February 9, 2006, the temporary preferred equity has been reclassified to permanent preferred equity for preferred stock held as of June 30, 2006.
Common Stock
On October 25, 2004, WidePoint completed the acquisition of Operational Research Consultants, Inc., or ORC, a privately held IT and engineering firm providing mission-critical sensitive and strategic information security solutions to the United States Government. Pursuant to the terms of a Purchase Agreement entered into on October 25, 2004, between the Company and the ORC shareholders, the Company issued 5,555,556 common shares of the Companys stock and placed it into an escrow to be released to the ORC shareholders in the event they attain certain performance parameters in 2004 and 2005. As of December 31, 2005, no common shares were earned and the 5,555,556 shares were returned to the Company and cancelled during the second quarter of 2006.
On April 30, 2004, the Company closed upon the acquisition of all the issued and outstanding shares of Chesapeake Government Technologies, Inc. (Chesapeake), pursuant to the terms of an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of March 24, 2004. This transaction was accounted for as a consulting arrangement because Chesapeake did not meet the definition of a business under FAS 141. WidePoint issued 4,082,980 shares of its common stock to stockholders of Chesapeake in consideration for all of the issued and outstanding shares of Chesapeake owned by them. In conjunction with this closing, the Chesapeake stockholders also entered into an escrow agreement and deposited 3,266,384 shares of the 4,082,980 newly issued shares of WidePoint common stock into escrow. The 3,266,384 shares of common stock placed into escrow were not recorded in equity at the time of the acquisition and were only to be released to the Chesapeake shareholders in the event of the satisfaction of certain conditions set forth in the merger agreement, which provided that during the period commencing after the closing of the merger and ending on December 31, 2005, the 3,266,384 shares of common stock would be released to the Chesapeake shareholders in a ratio based on the amount of revenues actually received by the Company from the business acquired from Chesapeake. The December 31, 2005 escrow expiration date could have been extended for one additional year in the event that it was determined that Chesapeake had achieved certain performance levels in the latter part of 2005. This event did not occur and as a result the escrow expiration date was not extended beyond December 31, 2005. Further, the merger agreement provided that in the event WidePoint did not receive certain levels of revenues from the business acquired from Chesapeake, then any of the 3,266,384 shares of common stock held in escrow to which the Chesapeake shareholders had not become earlier entitled to receive would be returned to the Company. The Company recorded in equity 816,596 shares of the 4,082,980 common shares issued to the Chesapeake shareholders at the time of the acquisition. The Company recorded these 816,596 common shares at the time of the acquisition as common stock issuable. Upon the issuance of the common stock by the Companys transfer agent on July 13, 2004, these shares were reclassified from common stock issuable to common stock. Further, for the period ending December 31, 2004, the Company recorded in equity and released 544,398 common shares from the escrow to the Chesapeake shareholders after the filing of the Companys Form 10-K, with 2,721,987 common shares continuing to be held in escrow and not recorded in equity. The Company recorded as compensation expense the initial 816,596 shares issued at the time of the acquisition of Chesapeake. As a result of meeting certain performance measures, the Company recorded in equity the release of 544,398 additional common shares on December 31, 2004. These shares were recorded as common stock issuable as they had not been released from escrow as of December 31, 2004, per an escrow agreement between the Company and the original Chesapeake shareholders. The remaining Chesapeake shares held in escrow were not earned and not recorded in equity due to Chesapeake failing to meet certain performance measures as of December 31, 2004. For the one year period ending December 31, 2005, the Chesapeake shareholders earned 1,905,390 shares from escrow, which had been previously recorded as issuable common stock. The remaining 816,597 shares in escrow were returned to the Company and cancelled during the second quarter of 2006. The 1,905,390 shares earned were released from escrow during the second quarter of 2006. As a result of the release from escrow, the shares earned were reclassified from issuable Common stock to issued Common stock as of June 30, 2006.
16
Common stock issuable
The Company entered into an escrow agreement with the original Chesapeake shareholders, which required certain performance measures to be achieved to cause the shares to be earned and subsequently released. The difference between the dates the shares were earned and subsequently released from escrow resulted in a timing difference, which required the Company to record the shares when they were earned as common stock issuable and subsequently reclassified as common stock upon the release of the shares from escrow. The Company recorded the shares that have been earned per certain performance measures at each recording date, while the escrow agreement only allowed for the release of the shares earned after the Companys fiscal year filings of its financial statements on Form 10-K, for each respective period, per the terms of the escrow agreement.
On December 31, 2004, the original shareholders of Chesapeake earned 544,398 shares, which were released from escrow after the filing of the Companys Form 10-K for the period ending December 31, 2004, per an escrow agreement between the Company and the original Chesapeake shareholders. As such, the shares were recorded as Common Stock Issuable as of December 31, 2004. Upon the filing of the Companys Form 10-K for the period ending December 31, 2004, the shares were released from escrow and at that time reclassified as Common Stock. The remaining unearned Chesapeake common shares held in escrow that had not met certain performance measures as of December 31, 2005 were cancelled during the second quarter of 2006 and the shares earned were released from escrow during the second quarter of 2006 and reclassified from Common stock issuable to Common stock as of June 30, 2006.
Stock Warrants
On November 1, 2005, the Company issued a warrant to purchase 54,878 shares to Hawk Associates as part of a consulting agreement in which Hawk Associates agreed to act as the Companys investor relations representative. The warrant has a term of 5 years. We are accounting for this award in accordance with EITF 96-18.
On October 27, 2004 and November 22, 2004, the Company issued two warrants to purchase 30,612 shares and 5,556 shares, respectively, to Liberty Capitol as part of a consulting agreement in which Liberty Capitol assisted the Company in arranging its senior debt financing with RBC-Centura Bank. The warrants have a term of 5 years. The Company used a fair-value option pricing model to value these stock warrants at approximately $14,291. This value has been reflected as part of stock warrants in the stockholders equity section of the consolidated balance sheet.
8. Financial Instrument
In October of 2004, the Company issued warrants to purchase 10,228,571 shares of common stock to Barron Partners, LP as part of a preferred stock financing. The warrants had a term of 5 years. The Company used a fair-value option pricing model to value these stock warrants. The value of these warrants had been reflected as a financial instrument in the short-term liabilities section of the consolidated balance sheet as a result of the issuance of a registration rights agreement that included a liquidated damages clause, which is linked to an effective registration of such securities. Accordingly, the Company applied EITF 00-19, Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Companys Own Stock and accounted for the warrants as a liability. In light of the required accounting treatment under EITF 00-19, the Company was also required to value the fair market price of the financial instrument as of June 30, 2005. The Company had recorded a loss on the financial instrument of $470,220 for the three month period ending June 30, 2005, to adjust the difference between the fair-value of these warrants and the market price. The Company had recorded a gain on the financial instrument of $526,043 for the six month period ending June 30, 2005, to adjust the difference between the fair-value of these warrants and the market price. As of December 31, 2005, all of the warrants issued to Barron Partners, LP were exercised. As a result, the Company was not required to value the fair market price of the financial instruments for the period ending June 30, 2006 since the underlying warrants which were reflected as a financial instrument no longer existed.

9. Segment reporting
Segments are defined by SFAS No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information, as components of a company in which separate financial information is available and is evaluated by the chief operating decision maker, or a decision making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.
During 1998, the Company adopted SFAS No. 131 and until December 31, 2005 the Company was comprised of a single segment, which was comprised of our consulting services segment within our Commercial and Federal Government Marketplaces. As of January 1, 2006, the Company added a second segment, which consists of PKI credentialing and managed services. The PKI credentialing and managed services segment provides PKI credentialing and managed services to United States federal agencies and federal contractors as a result of regulatory compliance requirements.
Segment operating income consists of the revenues generated by a segment, less the direct costs of revenue and selling, general and administrative costs that are incurred directly by the segment. Unallocated corporate costs include costs related to administrative functions that are performed in a centralized manner that are not attributable to a particular segment. These administrative function costs include costs for corporate office support, all office facility costs, costs relating to accounting and finance, human resources, legal, marketing, information technology and company-wide business development functions, as well as costs related to overall corporate management.
The following table presents information about reported segments along with the items necessary to reconcile the segment information to the totals reported in the accompanying consolidated financial statements:

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
The following discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations of the Company should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto which appear elsewhere in this quarterly report and the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005.
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 (WidePoint or the Company) is a technology-based provider of product and services to both the government sector and commercial markets. We specialize in providing systems engineering, information technology services and information assurance in the form of identity management services. Our subsidiary, Operational Research Consultants, Inc. (ORC), is the leading provider of E-Authentication federal credentialing and federal compliant Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) managed services to the federal government. We intend to grow over the next few years through a combination of organic growth, the acquiring of selective strategic assets and by operational efficiencies among our subsidiaries.
On October 25, 2004, we completed the acquisition of ORC. ORC specializes in IT integration and secure authentication processes and software, and providing services to the United States Government. ORC has been at the forefront of implementing Public Key Infrastructure (ÒPKIÓ) technologies. PKI technology is rapidly becoming the technology of choice to enable security services within and between different computer systems utilized by various agencies and departments of the U.S. Government. Based on asymmetric key cryptography, PKI technology uses a class of algorithms in which a user can receive two electronic keys, consisting of a public key and a private key, to encrypt any information and/or communication being transmitted to or from the user within a computer network and between different computer networks. The user provides his or her public key to any and all desired persons or entities. The user does not share the private key with anyone else. The public key will encrypt all information and/or communication from any sender and the private key will allow only the holder of the private key to unlock and decrypt such information and/or communication. Thus, the algorithms used in PKI technologies help to achieve authentication of users and information, integrity of all data and communications, non-repudiation or rejection of data and communications, and support confidentiality of data and communications. PKI also speeds up and simplifies the delivery of products and services by providing electronic approaches to processes that historically have been paper based. These electronic solutions depend on PKI for identification and authentication; data integrity; confidentiality of information and transactions; and non-repudiation to facilitate mission-related and transactions internal to an organization and with external organizations. ORC is currently one of only a few organizations that has been designated by the United States Government as fully compliant to issue certificates as an External Certificate Authority for the U.S. Government. As such, ORC is authorized to issue all permissible certificate types and services in accordance with Defense Information Systems Agency and National Security Agency standards, necessary for the interoperable, secure exchange of information between U.S. Governmental agencies, contractors, and international allies such as members of NATO.
With the addition of the customer base and the increase in revenues attributable from the ORC acquisition, WidePoints opportunity to leverage and expand further into the federal marketplace has improved dramatically. ORCs past client successes, top security clearances in their facilities and with their personnel, and additional breadth of management talent have expanded the Companys reach into markets that previously were not accessible to WidePoint. WidePoint intends to continue to leverage the synergies between the newly acquired operating subsidiaries and cross sell those technical capabilities into each separate marketplace serviced by its respective subsidiaries. Further, WidePoint is continuing to actively search out new synergistic acquisitions that we believe will further enhance the present base of business, which has been augmented by our recent acquisitions and internal growth initiatives.
21
As a result of these actions WidePoints total revenues increased by approximately $1.9 from $2.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2005 to $4.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2006. Our PKI credentialing and managed services segment experienced revenue growth of approximately 70% with revenues increasing approximately $83,000 from approximately $118,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2005, to approximately $201,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2006, as a result of continuing early adoption of the Federal Governments mandate under Homeland Security Directive No. 12 (HSPD-12). We sold 2,082 digital certificates for the three months ended June 30, 2006 as compared to 1,086 digital certificates for the quarter ended June 30, 2005. We anticipate that digital certificate sales should continue to increase as the adoption of HSPD-12 is implemented by the Federal Government agencies and departments. Our consulting services segment experienced increasing revenues of approximately $1,837,000 from approximately $2,803,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2005 as compared to approximately $4,640,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2006. The increase in revenues was materially the result of the resale of software in support of the Department of Defenses (DOD) preparation for their widescale launch of the External Certificate Authority (ECA) program. The Company anticipates that it may continue to have opportunities during the third quarter of 2006 to provide additional engineering services and software reselling opportunities to assist the DOD in support of their widescale launch of the ECA program.
A number of factors, including the progress of contracts, revenues earned on contracts, the number of billable days in a quarter, the timing of the pass-through of other direct costs, the commencement and completion of contracts during any particular quarter, the schedule of the government agencies for awarding contracts, the term of each contract that we have been awarded and general economic conditions may subject our revenues and operating results to significant variation from quarter to quarter. Because a significant portion of our expenses, such as personnel and facilities costs, are fixed in the short term, successful contract performance and variation in the volume of activity as well as in the number of contracts commenced or completed during any quarter may cause significant variations in operating results from quarter to quarter.
With our recent acquisition of ORC we rely upon a larger portion of our revenues from the Federal Government directly or as a subcontractor. The Federal Governments fiscal year ends September 30. If a budget for the next fiscal year has not been approved by that date, our clients may have to suspend engagements that we are working on until a budget has been approved. Such suspensions may cause us to realize lower revenues in the fourth quarter and/or first quarter of the year. Further, a change in presidential administrations and in senior government officials may negatively affect the rate at which the Federal Government purchases and implements the services that we offer.
As a result of the factors above, period-to-period comparisons of our revenues and operating results may not be meaningful. You should not rely on these comparisons as indicators of future performance as no assurances can be given that quarterly results will not fluctuate, causing a possible material adverse effect on our operating results and financial condition.
In addition, most of WidePoints current costs consist primarily of the salaries and benefits paid to WidePoints technical, marketing and administrative personnel. As a result of our plan to expand WidePoints operations through a combination of internal growth initiatives and merger and acquisition opportunities, WidePoint expects such costs to increase. WidePoints profitability also depends upon both the volume of services performed and the Companys ability to manage costs. As a significant portion of the Companys cost is labor related, WidePoint 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 its proprietary methodologies, and by offsetting increases in consultant salaries with increases in consultant fees received from its clients. The uncertainties relating to the ability to achieve and maintain profitability, obtain additional funding to partially fund the Companys growth strategy and provide the necessary investment to continue to upgrade its management reporting systems to meet the continuing demands of the present regulatory changes affect the comparability of the information reflected in the financial information presented above.
Results of Operations
Three Months Ended June 30, 2006 as Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2005
22
Revenues, net. Revenues for the three month period ended June 30, 2006 was approximately $4,842,000 as compared to approximately $2,921,000 for the three month period ended June 30, 2005. The increase in revenues was primarily attributable to an increase in our Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) credentialing and managed services segment and the increase in our services segment as a result of the preparation of the DODs launch of its ECA program. Our PKI credentialing and managed services segment experienced revenue growth of approximately 70% with revenues increasing approximately $83,000 from $118,000 for the three month period ended June 30, 2005 to $201,000 for the three month period ended June 30, 2006 as a result of continuing early adoption of the federal governments mandate under the Homeland Security Directive No. 12 (HSPD-12). Our consulting services segment experienced revenue growth of approximately 66% with revenues increasing approximately $1,838,000 from $2,803,000 for the three month period ended June 30, 2005 as compared to $4,640,000 for the three month period ended June 30, 2006 as a result of increases in providing services and software reselling in support of the DODs widescale launch of its ECA program. We anticipate that we may continue to have opportunities in the third quarter of 2006 in providing additional engineering services and software reselling opportunities to the DOD in support of there widescale launch of the ECA program.
Cost of sales. Cost of sales for the three month period ended June 30, 2006, was approximately $4,028,000, or 83% of revenues, an increase of approximately $1,423,000 from cost of sales of approximately $2,605,000, or 89% of revenues, for the three month period ended June 30, 2005. The absolute increase in cost of sales was primarily attributable to the greater revenues that occurred in the quarter ended June 30, 2006 as compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2005. The percentage improvement in the quarter ended June 30, 2006 as compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2005 was due to the non-recurrence of the compensation expense of approximately $452,000 from the earnout of 544,397 escrowed shares that was recognized during the quarter ending June 30, 2005.
Gross profit. As a result of the above, gross profit for the three month period ended June 30, 2006, was approximately $814,000, or 17% of revenues, an increase of approximately $498,000 over gross profit of approximately $316,000, or 11% of revenues, for the three month period ended June 30, 2005.
Sales and marketing. Sales and marketing expense for the three month period ended June 30, 2006, was approximately $209,000, or 4% of revenues, an increase of approximately $45,000, as compared to approximately $164,000, or 6% of revenues, for the three month period ended June 30, 2005. The absolute increase was materially attributable to increased sales and marketing expenses which we initiated during the three month period ending June 30, 2005 to expand our sales efforts associated with our PKI credentialing and managed services offerings and to expand our sales staff.
General and administrative. General and administrative expenses for the three month period ended June 30, 2006, were approximately $848,000, or 18% of revenues, an increase of approximately $202,000, as compared to approximately $646,000, or 22% of revenues, incurred by the Company for the three month period ended June 30, 2005. The absolute increase in general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2006, was primarily attributable to our adoption of FAS 123R and the effect of recognizing approximately $92,000 in stock option expense and as a result of increasing our general and administrative efforts associated with expanding our infrastructure in support of PKI credentialing and managed service offerings.
Depreciation. Depreciation expense for the three month period ended June 30, 2006, was approximately $6,700, or less than 1% of revenues, an increase of approximately $400, as compared to approximately $6,300 of such expenses, or less than 1% of revenues, recorded by the Company for the three month period ended June 30, 2005. The increase in depreciation expense for the three month period ended June 30, 2006, was primarily attributable to greater amounts of depreciable assets.
Interest income. Interest income for the three month period ended June 30, 2006, was $20,416, or less than 1% of revenues, an increase of $18,667 as compared to $1,749, or less than 1% of revenues, for the three month period ended June 30, 2005. The increase in interest income for the three month period ended June 30, 2006, was primarily attributable to greater amounts of cash and cash equivalents along with higher short-term interest rates that were available to the Company on investments in money market accounts.
Interest expense. Interest expense for the three month period ended June 30, 2006, was $375, or less than 1% of revenues, a decrease of $49,539 as compared to $49,914, or 2% of revenues, for the three month period ended June 30, 2005. The decrease in interest expense for the three month period ended June 30, 2006 was primarily attributable to WidePoints decrease in interest expense associated with its recent secured senior lending facility with RBC-Centura which was utilized in association with the purchase of ORC.
23
Loss from Financial instrument. There was no loss from financial instrument for the three month period ended June 30, 2006 as a result of the elimination of the financial instrument when all of the Barron warrants were exercised in December of 2005. The loss from financial instrument for the three month period ending June 30, 2005, was approximately $470,000. The loss from financial instrument represents the increase during the three months ended June 30, 2005 in the estimated fair value of the warrants issued to Barron Partners, L. P. in connection with the preferred stock financing. The estimated fair value of the warrants increased principally because the estimated volatility of the Companys stock increased. This increase in turn resulted from the relatively greater trading range of the Companys stock in the quarter as compared to past history. A less volatile stock provides a lower probability that the warrant holder will be able to eventually realize a gain on exercise while a stock with higher volatility provides a greater probability that the warrant holder will be able to eventually realize a gain. The effect of the increased estimated volatility along with the increase in the value of the Company stock underlying the warrants, as well as the increased market interest rates during the quarter had an upward effect on the warrant value.
Other. There was no other income or expenses for the three month period ended June 30, 2006. Other expenses for the three month period ended June 30, 2005, was $240, or less than 1% of revenues.
Net loss. As a result of the above, the net loss for the three month period ended June 30, 2006, was approximately $230,000 as compared to the net loss of approximately $1,019,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2005.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2006 as Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2005
Revenues, net. Revenues for the six month period ended June 30, 2006 was approximately $7,526,000 as compared to approximately $5,591,000 for the six month period ended June 30, 2005. The increase in revenues was primarily attributable to an increase in our PKI credentialing and managed services segment and increases in our consulting services segment as a result increases in our services and software reselling in support of the DODs widescale launch of their ECA program. Our PKI credentialing and managed services segment experienced revenue growth of approximately 109% with revenues increasing approximately $221,000 from $203,000 for the six month period ended June 30, 2005 to $424,000 for the six month period ended June 30, 2006 as a result of continuing early adoption of the federal governments mandate under the Homeland Security Directive No. 12 (HSPD-12). Our consulting services segment experienced revenue growth of approximately 32% with revenues increasing approximately $1,714,000 from $5,387,000 for the six month period ended June 30, 2005 as compared to $7,101,000 for the six month period ended June 30, 2006 as a result of increases in providing services and software reselling in support of the DODs widescale lauch of its ECA program. We anticipate that we may continue to have opportunities in the third quarter of 2006 in providing additional engineering services and software reselling opportunities to the DOD in support of their widescale launch of the ECA program.
Cost of sales. Cost of sales for the six month period ended June 30, 2006, was approximately $5,995,000, or 80% of revenues, an increase of approximately $1,117,000 over cost of sales of approximately $4,878,000, or 87% of revenues, for the six month period ended June 30, 2005. The percentage decrease in cost of sales was primarily attributable to the decrease in amortization expenses associated with our purchase price allocation of ORC, and the decrease in compensation expense associated the Chesapeake shares, which were earned as a result of revenues from ORC during the second quarter of 2005 and did not reoccur after the completion of Chesapeakes earnout as of December 31, 2005. The compensation expense of approximately $822,000 was the result of an expense related to the pending release of 1,088,794 common shares earned during the six month period ending June 30, 2005 by the former shareholders of Chesapeake. The absolute increase in cost of sales was materially attributable to higher revenues and cost of sales resulting from our acquisition of ORC in October 2004.
Gross profit. As a result of the above, gross profit for the six month period ended June 30, 2006, was approximately $1,531,000, or 20% of revenues, an increase of approximately $818,000 over gross profit of approximately $713,000, or 13% of revenues, for the six month period ended June 30, 2005.
24
Sales and marketing. Sales and marketing expense for the six month period ended June 30, 2006, was approximately $413,000, or 5% of revenues, an increase of approximately $73,000, as compared to approximately $340,000, or 6% of revenues, for the six month period ended June 30, 2005. The increase was materially attributable to our expansion of our sales efforts associated with out PKI credentialing and managed services offerings.
General and administrative. General and administrative expenses for the six month period ended June 30, 2006, were approximately $1,628,000, or 22% of revenues, an increase of approximately $255,000, as compared to approximately $1,373,000, or 25% of revenues, incurred by the Company for the six month period ended June 30, 2005. The percentage decrease in general and administrative expense was attributable to lesser relative general administrative expense in relation to the increased revenue base as a result of our acquisition of ORC in October 2004. The absolute increase in general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2005, was primarily attributable to our expansion of our general and administrative efforts associated with our PKI credentialing and managed services offerings.
Depreciation expense. Depreciation expense for the six month period ended June 30, 2006, was approximately $14,000, or less than 1% of revenues, an increase of $2,000, as compared to approximately $12,000 of such expenses, or less than 1% of revenues, recorded by the Company for the six month period ended June 30, 2005. The increase in depreciation expenses for the six month period ended June 30, 2006, was primarily attributable to the increased pool of depreciable assets.
Interest income. Interest income for the six month period ended June 30, 2006, was $38,765, or less than 1% of revenues, an increase of $36,246 as compared to $2,519, or less than 1% of revenues, for the six month period ended June 30, 2005. The increase in interest income for the six month period ended June 30, 2005, was primarily attributable to greater amounts of cash and cash equivalents available to the company over this time period.
Interest expense. Interest expense for the six month period ended June 30, 2006, was $1,971, or less than 1% of revenues, a decrease of $100,726 as compared to $102,697, or 2% of revenues, for the six month period ended June 30, 2005. The decrease in interest expense for the six month period ended June 30, 2006 was primarily attributable to WidePoints decreased utilization of its recent secured senior lending facility with RBC-Centura, which was utilized in association with the purchase of ORC.
Gain from Financial instrument. There was no gain from financial instrument for the six month period ended June 30, 2006 as a result of the elimination of the financial instrument when all of the Barron warrants were exercised in December of 2005. The gain from financial instrument for the six month period ended June 30, 2005, was approximately $526,000. The gain from financial instrument represents a decrease during the six months ended June 30, 2005 in the estimated fair value of the warrants issued to Barron Partners, L. P. in connection with the preferred stock financing. The estimated fair value of the warrants decreased principally because the estimated volatility of the Companys stock declined. This decline in turn resulted from the relatively narrow trading range of the Companys stock in the six months as compared to past history. A less volatile stock provides a lower probability that the warrant holder will be able to eventually realize a gain on exercise. The effect of the decreased estimated volatility was partially offset by the increase in the value of the Company stock underlying the warrants, as well as the increased market interest rates during the six months, which had an upward effect on the warrant value.
Other. There was no other income or expenses for the six month period ended June 30, 2006. Other income for the six month period ended June 30, 2005, was $1,910, or less than 1% of revenues.
Net loss. As a result of the above, the net loss for the six month period ended June 30, 2006, was approximately $488,000 as compared to the net loss of approximately $586,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2005.
The following table sets forth selected segment and consolidated operating results and other operating data for the periods indicated. Segment operating income consists of the revenues generated by a segment, less the direct costs of revenue and selling, general and administrative costs that are incurred directly by the segment. Unallocated corporate costs include costs related to administrative functions that are performed in a centralized manner that are not attributable to a particular segment.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company has, since inception, financed its operations and capital expenditures through the sale of preferred and common stock, seller notes, convertible notes, convertible exchangeable debentures, senior secured loans and the proceeds from the exercise of the warrants related to a convertible exchangeable debenture. During 2005 and through the period ended June 30, 2006, operations were materially financed with working capital, senior debt and the proceeds from a convertible preferred stock issuance.
Net cash provided by operating activities for the quarter ended June 30, 2006, was approximately $454,000 as compared to cash used in operating activities of approximately $205,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2005. The increase in cash balances available for operating activities for the quarter ended June 30, 2006, was primarily a result of an increase in our accounts payable. Net cash used in investing activities for the quarter ended June 30, 2006, was approximately $5,000 as compared to $184,000 in the quarter ended June 30, 2005. The decrease in net cash used in investing activities resulted primarily from $184,000 of software development costs paid in the quarter ended June 30, 2005. Net cash used in financing activities amounted to $31,000 in the quarter ended June 30, 2006, as compared to $374,000 of net cash provided by financing activities in the quarter ended June 30, 2005. The change primarily resulted from $498,000 of payments on notes payable and $800,000 of proceeds from the exercise of warrants in the quarter ended June 30, 2005, and the payment of $118,000 of costs related to the registration statement in the quarter ended June 30, 2006. Capital expenditures in property and equipment were approximately $5,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2006, as compared to no capital expenditures in property and equipment for the quarter ended June 30, 2005.
27
As of June 30, 2006, the Company had a net working capital of approximately $2.9 million. WidePoints primary source of liquidity consists of approximately $2.3 million in cash and cash equivalents and approximately $4.1 million of accounts receivable. The increase in accounts receivable was primarily the result of the increase in billed revenues in the quarter ending June 30, 2006 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2005. Current liabilities include approximately $3.3 million in accounts payable and accrued expenses. The material increase in current liabilities is predominately the result of the increase in revenues that subsequently resulted in greater accounts payable and accrued expenses.
The Companys business environment is characterized by rapid technological change, experiences times of high growth and contraction and is influenced by material events such as mergers and acquisitions that can substantially change the Companys outlook.
Since 2002, WidePoint has embarked upon several new initiatives to counter the current negative environment within our industry and expand our capacity to restore revenue growth. The Company requires substantial working capital to fund the future growth of its business, particularly to finance accounts receivable, sales and marketing efforts, and capital expenditures.
There are currently no commitments for capital expenditures. 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 Companys services.
On October 25 and 29, 2004, WidePoint completed financings with Barron Partners L.P. (Barron), a private equity fund that engages in investing primarily in private investments in publicly traded entities, for an aggregate amount of $3,580,000, under a preferred stock purchase agreement and related agreements. Net proceeds from the financing after costs and expenses, including fees of finders and agents, were approximately $3,030,000. WidePoint issued an aggregate of 2,045,714 shares of its Series A Convertible Preferred Stock that were convertible into an aggregate of 20,457,143 shares of its Common Stock at a conversion rate equal to $0.175 per share. In addition, WidePoint issued to Barron a warrant to purchase up to an additional 10,228,571 shares of its Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.40 per common share. Through June 30, 2006, Barron has converted 1,557,500 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and has fully exercised it warrant. Barrons conversion of its Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is and its warrant exercises were subject to contractual restrictions which restrict the ability of Barron and its affiliates to acquire shares of Common Stock which equal no more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of WidePoints Common Stock at any time. This contractual restriction may be removed upon 61 days notice to WidePoint from Barron, but in the event Barron elects to remove this restriction, then Barron and its affiliates agreed that Barron and its affiliates can only vote the shares of Common Stock held by Barron and its affiliates which result in Barron and its affiliates having no more than 22% of the total voting power of all outstanding shares of WidePoints Common Stock at any time. As a result of the Barron financing transaction, WidePoint issued warrants to Westcap Securities, Inc., a registered broker-dealer and WidePoints placement agent in such transaction, to purchase 511,428 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.40 per share, which warrants expire in October 2009.
Pursuant to the registration rights agreement, between Barron and WidePoint, related to the stock issuances described in the preceding paragraph, WidePoint filed a registration statement on January 5, 2005, covering the resale of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion and/or exercise of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and the warrants issued to Barron. Under the agreement, if the registration statement was not declared effective by April 23, 2005 and thereafter kept effective through October 20, 2007, subject to permissible blackout periods and registration maintenance periods, then WidePoint would be required to pay Barron a maximum penalty of up to $20,000 for each month the registration statement was not effective. Barron waived this penalty provision through February 9, 2006, when the registration statement was declared effective by the SEC.
28
WidePoint believes that its current cash position is sufficient to meet capital expenditure and working capital requirements for the near term. However, the growth and technological change of the market make it difficult to predict future liquidity requirements with certainty. Over the longer term, the Company must successfully execute its plans to increase revenue and income streams that will generate significant positive cash flows if it is to sustain adequate liquidity without impairing growth or requiring the infusion of additional funds from external sources. Additionally, a major expansion, such as occurred with the acquisition of ORC or any other major new subsidiaries, might require external financing that could include additional debt or equity capital. The Company obtained a one year senior line of credit from RBC-Centura Bank in October 2004 for up to $2.5 million dollars, collateralized against accounts receivables, that allowed for the expansion of this line of credit up to $5.0 million upon the successful completion of an additional acquisition. No borrowings under the line of credit were outstanding at June 30, 2006 and the line of credit lapsed as of June 1, 2006. The interest rate on the line of credit was variable, and was based upon the prime lending rate. Our failure to comply with the restrictive covenants under our revolving credit facility could have resulted in an event of default, which, if not cured, amended, or waived, could have resulted in us being required to repay these borrowings before their due date. Through June 1, 2006 any covenants with which we had not been compliant had either been amended or waived or we had been allowed to continue to utilize the line of credit. In addition, the Company raised approximately $3.6 million dollars in connection with the aforementioned equity investments by Barron Partners, LP, that were used in the acquisition of ORC. Further, the Company raised approximately $4.1 million dollars in connection with the attached warrants associated with the aforementioned equity investments by Barron Partners, LP during the year ended 2005. There can be no assurance that additional financing, if required, will be available on acceptable terms, if at all, for future acquisitions and/or growth initiatives.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company has no existing off-balance sheet arrangements as defined under SEC regulations.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are not exposed to market risks related to changes in interest rates and changes in the market value of our investments as we have no borrowings outstanding under a bank credit agreement as of June 30, 2006 and we only invest our excess cash in marketable securities in a money market account which due to the short maturity and our availability to withdraw those securities at any time does not present any material market exposure.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of June 30, 2006, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in recording, processing, summarizing and reporting, on a timely basis, information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act and such information is accumulated and communicated to management as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Based on an evaluation by the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, such officers concluded that there was no change in the Companys internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2006 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting.
