WIDEPOINT CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Basis of Presentation, Organization and Nature of Operations
WidePoint Corporation (WidePoint or the Company) is a technology-based provider of product and services to both the government sector and commercial markets. WidePoint was incorporated in Delaware on May 30, 1997. We have grown through the merger of highly specialized regional IT consulting companies.
Our expertise lies within three business segments. The three segments offer unique solutions in identity management services utilizing certificate-based security solutions; wireless telecommunication expense management systems; and other associated IT consulting services and products in which we provide specific subject matter expertise in IT Architecture and Planning, Software Implementation Services, IT Outsourcing, and Forensic Informatics.
WidePoint has three material operational entities, Operational Research Consultants, Inc. (ORC), iSYS, LLC (iSYS), and WidePoint IL, Inc., along with a development stage company, Protexx Acquisition Corporation doing business as Protexx. In January 2008, we completed the acquisition of iSYS. iSYS specializes in mobile telecommunications expense management services and forensic informatics, and information assurance services predominantly to the U.S. Government. In July 2008, we completed the purchase of the operating assets and proprietary intellectual property of Protexx, Inc. Protexx specializes in identity assurance and mobile and wireless data protection services. ORC specializes in IT integration and secure authentication processes and software, and providing services to the U.S. Government. ORC has been at the forefront of implementing Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) technologies. 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. 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.
Our staff consists of business process and computer specialists who help our government and civilian customers augment and expand their resident technologic skills and competencies, drive technical innovation, and help develop and maintain a competitive edge in todays rapidly changing technological environment in business. Our organization emphasizes an intense commitment to our people, our customers, and the quality of our solutions offerings. As a services organization, our customers are our primary focus.
The consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2009, the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, have been prepared by the Company and are unaudited. The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2008 was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.
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. It is the opinion of management that all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair statement of financial results are reflected in the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 are not indicative of the operating results for the full year.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of acquired entities since their respective dates of acquisition. All significant inter-company amounts have been eliminated in consolidation.
4
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. 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. The more significant areas requiring use of estimates and judgment relate to revenue recognition, accounts receivable valuation reserves, realizability of intangible assets, realizability of deferred income tax assets and the evaluation of contingencies and litigation. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts in prior year financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
Significant Customers
For the quarter ended June 30, 2009, three customers, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), and the Washington Headquarters Services (WHS), an agency of the Department of Defense (DoD) that provides services for many DoD agencies and organizations, represented approximately 27%, 22%, and 19% of revenues, respectively. 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 could have a material adverse effect on results. For the quarter ended June 30, 2008, four customers, the TSA, DHS, the FSS DISA/DITCO-SCOTT (Defense Information Security Agency), and the WHS represented approximately 25%, 17%, 12%, and 10% of revenues, respectively. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2009, three customers, DHS, TSA, and WHS, represented approximately 24%, 23%, and 18% of revenues, respectively. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2008 three customers, TSA, DHS, and WHS, represented approximately 26%, 19%, and 13% of revenues, respectively.
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, 2009, three customers, DHS, TSA and WHS accounted for approximately 34%, 21%, and 12%, respectively, of accounts receivable and unbilled accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2008, three clients, DHS, TSA, and WHS, represented approximately 24%, 17%, and 14%, respectively, of accounts receivable and unbilled accounts receivable.
Fair value of financial instruments
The Companys financial instruments include cash equivalents, deferred revenue, accounts receivable, notes receivable, accounts payable, 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, notes 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.
The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157) on January 1, 2008. SFAS 157, among other things, defines fair value, establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure for each major asset and liability category measured at fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis. SFAS 157 clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, SFAS 157 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; |
5
Level 2: Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and |
Level 3: Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions. |
For certain financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and other current liabilities, the carrying amounts approximate their fair value due to the relatively short maturity of these balances.
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.
Accounts Receivable
The majority of the Companys accounts receivable is due from the federal government and established private sector companies in the following industries: manufacturing, customer 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. Customer account balances 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.
The Company has not historically maintained a bad debt reserve for our federal government or commercial customers as we have not witnessed any material or recurring bad debt charges and the nature and size of the contracts has not necessitated the Companys establishment of such a bad debt reserve.
Unbilled Accounts Receivable
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, 2009 and December 31, 2008, unbilled accounts receivable totaled approximately $1,414,000 and $2,302,000, respectively.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue from our mobile telecom expense management services (MTEMS) is recognized upon delivery of services as they are rendered. Arrangements with customers on MTEMS-related contracts are recognized ratably over a period of performance.
Revenue from the sale of PKI credentials is recognized when delivery occurs. Arrangements with customers on PKI related contracts may involve multiple deliverable elements. In these cases, the Company applies the principles prescribed in Emerging Issues Task Force Abstract (EITF) 00-21, Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables. The Company analyzes various factors, including a review of the nature of the contract or product sold, the terms of each specific transaction, the relative fair values of the elements required by EITF 00-21, any contingencies that may be present, its historical experience with like transactions or with like products, the creditworthiness of the customer, and other current market and economic conditions.
6
Additionally, 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 collectability is probable.
Should the sale of products or software involve an arrangement with multiple elements (for example, the sale of PKI Credential Seats along with the sale of maintenance, hosting and support to be delivered over the contract period), the Company allocates revenue to each component of the arrangement using the residual value method based on the fair value of the undelivered elements. The Company defers revenue from the arrangement equivalent to the fair value of the undelivered elements and recognizes the remaining amount at the time of the delivery of the product or when all other revenue recognition criteria have been met.
A portion of our 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 material history of losses nor has it identified any material specific risk of loss at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively, due to termination provisions and thus has not recorded provisions for such events.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109 (SFAS 109), Accounting for Income Taxes. Under SFAS 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 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:

Software Development Costs
WidePoint accounts for software development costs (or internally developed intangible assets) related to software products for sale, lease or otherwise marketed in accordance with 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 such other such shorter period as may be required. WidePoint recorded approximately $67,000 of amortization expense for the three month period ended June 30, 2009, as compared to approximately $58,000 for the three month period ended June 30, 2008. WidePoint capitalized approximately $1,000 for the three month period ended June 30, 2009. There were no capitalized costs for the three month period ended June 30, 2008. Capitalized software development costs, net, included in Intangibles, net, on the Companys condensed consolidated balance sheets at June 30, 2009 were approximately $0.5 million, compared to approximately $0.6 million at December 31, 2008. During the first quarter of 2009, we estimated that we will be capitalizing approximately $50,000 more prior to the issuance of the Authority To Operate (ATO), but the project timeframe has been extended into the 2nd half of 2009 with the same estimated costs of $50,000. Upon completion, we will commence amortizing the ATO over an approximate three year life.
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 SFAS No. 141R, Business Combinations, and SFAS No. 142 (SFAS 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 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. As of December 31, 2008, no impairment had occurred. We have not identified any new impairments as of June 30, 2009.
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 Earnings (Loss) Per Share
Basic earnings or loss per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing net earnings or loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings 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 options and warrants to purchase 3,256,737 and 2,488,037 shares of common stock outstanding for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively has been included in the calculations of the diluted net income per share. Outstanding options and warrants to purchase 7,918,411 and 91,046 shares, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 have 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 net loss per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 are presented as identical. Earnings per common share were computed as follows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2008:

Stock-based compensation
The Company previously 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 No. 123R.
The amount of compensation expense recognized under SFAS No. 123R during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, under our plans was comprised of the following:

Since we have cumulative operating tax losses as of June 30, 2009 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 six months ended June 30, 2009, 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.
9
The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model (Black-Scholes model), which uses the assumptions of no dividend yield, risk free interest rates of between 2.04% and 4.83%, volatility of between 57% to 156% and expected life in years of approximately 3 years. The option awards are for the period from 1999 through 2009. 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. A summary of the option activity under our plans during the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 is presented below:

The aggregate remaining contractual lives in years for the options outstanding and exercisable on June 30, 2009 were 2.78 and 2.03, respectively. In comparison, the aggregate remaining contractual lives in years for the options outstanding and exercisable on June 30, 2008 were 3.27 and 2.97, respectively.
Aggregate intrinsic value represents total pretax intrinsic value (the difference between WidePoints closing stock price on June 30, 2009 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, 2009. The intrinsic value will change based on the fair market value of WidePoints stock. The total intrinsic values of options outstanding and exercisable as of June 30, 2009 were $2,469,904 and $2,446,054, respectively. The total intrinsic value of options exercised for the second quarter of fiscal 2009 was $0. The Company issues new shares of common stock upon the exercise of stock options.
At June 30, 2009, 4,511,438 shares were available for future grants under the Companys 2008 Stock Incentive Plan. This does not include 3,999,999 warrants granted and vested to members of the senior management team that were not issued under the Companys Stock Incentive Plans.
At June 30, 2009, the Company had approximately $352,000 of total unamortized compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, related to stock option plans that will be recognized over the weighted average period of 4.33 years.

On May 11, 2009, the Companys Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors voted to cancel 950,000 options held by management and other employees (the Cancelled Options) and issue replacement options to such individuals (the Replacement Options). The optionees all concurred with such action by the Compensation Committee. The Cancelled Options had varying exercise prices ranging from $0.85 to $2.80 with a weighted average exercise price of $1.06. The exercise price of the Replacement Options was set at $0.54. Other than the exercise price, there are no differences in the terms between the Cancelled Options and the Replacement Options. The incremental additional fair value of the Replacement Options was calculated to be approximately $64,000, which was determined by calculating the fair value of the Cancelled Options as they existed on May 11, 2009 immediately prior to cancellation as compared to the fair value on the same date of the exercise price of the Replacement Options. This amount of additional fair value of the Replacement Options will be recognized over the vesting period of the Replacement Options. Since some of the Replacement Options were fully vested at May 11, 2009, there was an expense of approximately $45,000 recognized in the three months ended June 30, 2009 as a result of the cancellation of the Cancelled Options and the issuance of the Replacement Options.
Non-employee stock-based compensation:
The Company accounts for stock-based non-employee compensation arrangements using the fair value recognition provisions of FASB Statement 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation and Emerging Issues Task Force EITF 96-18, Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Fair Value Pronouncements
In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, Subsequent Events (SFAS 165). SFAS 165 establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. SFAS 165 sets forth (1), the period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, (2) the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements and (3) the disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. SFAS 165 is effective for interim or annual financial periods ending after June30, 2009. The Company has evaluated subsequent events through August 14, 2009 which is the date that these financial statements were filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principlesa replacement of FASB Statement No. 162 (SFAS 168). The FASB Accounting Standards Codification (Codification) will be the single source of authoritative nongovernmental U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. SFAS 168 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. All existing accounting standards are superseded as described in SFAS 168. All other accounting literature not included in the Codification is nonauthoritative.
3. Debt
The Company entered into a senior lending agreement with Cardinal Bank on August 16, 2007. In January of 2008, the Company modified this credit facility with Cardinal Bank to allow for up to $7 million, which included a four-year term note for $2 million that the Company had entered into with Cardinal Bank in January 2008. The Company borrowed approximately $1.8 million under this credit facility to finance the acquisition of iSYS, LLC in January of 2008 and repaid the advance in full in May 2008 from the proceeds raised in a subsequent capital raise that occurred in April and May of 2008. As of June 30, 2009, the Company had no borrowings under this credit facility, which previously had a $5 million borrowing cap at an interest rate of 6.5%. As explained below, this credit facility was superseded by the Companys new revolving credit facility entered into with Cardinal Bank.
On March 17, 2009, the Company entered into a Debt Modification Agreement and Commercial Loan Agreement (2009 Commercial Loan Agreement) with Cardinal Bank. This new revolving credit facility replaced the Companys prior $5 million revolving credit facility with Cardinal Bank. The 2009 Commercial Loan Agreement allows for the Company to borrow up to $5 million. The repayment date of the revolving credit facility was extended to June 1, 2010 and advances under the revolving credit facility will bear interest at a variable rate equal to the prime rate plus 0.5% with an interest rate floor of 5%. Borrowings under the agreement were collateralized by the Companys eligible contract receivables, inventory, all of its stock in certain of its subsidiaries and certain property and equipment. As part of the credit facility, the Company must comply with certain financial covenants that include tangible net worth and interest coverage ratios. The Company was in full compliance with these financial covenants on June 30, 2009.
12
The Company also has a four-year term note with Cardinal Bank that we entered into January 2008 in the principal amount of $2 million, which bears interest at the rate of 7.5% with 48 equal principal and interest payments. At June 30, 2009, we owed approximately $1.4 million under the term note.
The Company also had a subordinated seller financed note for $2 million in favor of Jin Kang, a related party of the Company and the former owner and current officer of iSYS, LLC, which was due the earlier of April 1, 2009 or upon the filing of the Companys Form 10-K. The note bore interest at the simple rate of 7% through December 31, 2008, that increased to 10% on January 1 and remained in effect at 10% through the repayment of the note. On March 17, 2009, the Company entered into a Debt Modification Agreement and Commercial Loan Agreement with Cardinal Bank. The new agreement excluded the subordination agreement of Jin Kang from our prior credit facility, which allowed for the repayment of the sellers note on March 27, 2009. As of June 30th, 2009 the Company does not have any outstanding balances due Mr. Kang under any sellers notes. The Sellers note was paid from excess cash balances held by the Company as a result of positive operational cashflows from operations.
4. Goodwill and Intangible Assets
WidePoint previously adopted SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. SFAS No. 142 requires, among other things, the discontinuance of goodwill amortization. Under SFAS No. 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.
The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the year ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 are as follows:
Total | |||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Balance as of December 31, 2007 |

iSYS acquisition-related costs | 3,482 | ||||
Balance as of June 30, 2009 | $ | 8,579,363 |
In 2008, $6,049,771 in goodwill was acquired as a result of the acquisition of iSYS, LLC. Management believes that as of June 30, 2009 the carrying value of our goodwill was not impaired. There were no goodwill adjustments made in the three month period ended June 30, 2009.

The total weighted average life of all of the intangibles is approximately 3 years.
There were no amounts of research and development assets acquired during the three month period ended June 30, 2009 nor any written-off in the period.
5. Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with 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 further adopted the provisions of Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes An interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109. As required by FIN 48, the Company recognizes the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the more-likely-than-not threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority. The Companys assessments of its tax positions in accordance with FIN 48 did not result in changes that had a material impact on results of operations, financial condition or liquidity. As of December 31, 2008 and at June 30, 2009, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits. While the Company does not have any interest and penalties in the periods presented, the Companys policy is to recognize such expenses as tax expense.
The Company files U.S. federal income tax returns with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) as well as income tax returns in various states. The Company may be subject to examination by the IRS for tax years 2001 through 2008. Additionally, the Company may be subject to examinations by various state taxing jurisdictions for tax years 2001 through 2008. The Company is currently not under examination by the IRS or any state tax jurisdiction.
As of June 30, 2009, the Company had net operating loss (NOL) carry forwards of approximately $21,000,000 to offset future taxable income. These carry forwards expire between 2010 and 2028. In assessing the ability to realize 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. 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. To date the Company has not completed a Section 382 analysis.
No tax benefit has been realized associated with the exercise of stock options in the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 because of the existence of net operating loss carryforwards. There will be no credit to additional paid in capital for such until the associated benefit is realized through a reduction of income taxes payable.
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.

The Company incurred a deferred income tax expense of approximately $78,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009. This deferred income tax expense was originally established at December 31, 2008 at approximately $157,000, and attributable to the differences in our treatment of the amortization of goodwill for tax purposes versus book purposes as it relates to our acquisition of iSYS in January 2008. Because the goodwill is not amortized for book purposes but is for tax purposes, the related deferred tax liability cannot be reversed until some indeterminate future period when the goodwill either becomes impaired, and/or is disposed of. The deferred tax liability can be offset by deferred Income tax assets that may be recognized In the future and the deferred tax expense is a non-cash expense. SFAS No. 109 requires the expected timing of future reversals of deferred tax liabilities to be taken into account when evaluating the realizability of deferred tax assets. Therefore, the reversal of deferred tax liabilities related to the goodwill is not to be considered a source of future taxable income when assessing the realization of deferred tax assets. Because the Company has a valuation allowance for the full amount of the deferred income tax asset, the deferred income liability associated with the tax deductible goodwill has been recorded and not offset against existing deferred income tax assets.
6. Stockholders Equity
The Company is authorized to issue 110,000,000 shares of common stock, $.001 par value per share. During the quarter ended June 30, 2009, no shares of common stock were issued as the result of the exercise of employee stock options. As of June 30, 2009 there were 58,305,514 shares of common stock outstanding.
Common Stock
On January 8, 2008, pursuant to the terms of a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the Membership Agreement) between the Company, iSYS, LLC and Jin Kang, dated January 4, 2008, the Company issued 1,500,000 shares of Company common stock on January 8, 2008 at a stock price of $1.20 per common share (based on the closing market price of the Companys common shares the issuance date) for a value of $1,800,000. The Company also issued an additional 3,000,000 shares of Company common stock on January 8, 2008, which shares were delivered into escrow to be held subject to the satisfaction of certain earnout provisions under the Membership Agreement. Under the Membership Agreement the initial $1.4 million in earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) from iSYS is excluded from the earnout for the initial 3 years, with 66% of the value in excess of such initial $1.4 million being paid to the former owner of iSYS, with 50% of the amount being paid in cash and 50% being valued and released in escrow shares. In the fourth year the value in excess of 50% is used instead of 66%, with the total earnout capped at $6 million, with $3 million payable in cash and $3 million payable in the release of earnout shares. Performance of the earnout is measured annually and awarded within 30 days following the end of the Companys fiscal year and filing of the Companys Form 10-K for that year. As of December 31, 2008 performance measures were attained allowing for the release of 184,817 common shares valued at $1.00 per common share from the common shares placed into escrow at the time of the acquisition of iSYS by the Company.
On April 29, 2008, the Company entered into a Common Stock Purchase Agreement (Purchase Agreement) with Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch (Deutsche Bank), and related agreements, as part of a private equity financing to raise additional funds for working capital. Under the Purchase Agreement, Deutsche Bank agreed to purchase 2,500,000 shares of WidePoint common stock for a total purchase price of $2,550,000, or $1.02 per share. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company issued 2,500,000 shares of its common stock to Deutsche Bank on May 2, 2008. The offer and sale of the shares were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in reliance on the private offering exemption provided under Section 4(2) thereof.
On May 16, 2008, the Company entered into two Common Stock Purchase Agreements (collectively, the Endurance Purchase Agreements) with Endurance Partners, L.P. and Endurance Partners (Q.P), L.P., and related agreements, as part of a private equity financing to raise additional funds for working capital. Under the Endurance Purchase Agreements, Endurance Partners, L.P. agreed to purchase 428,954 shares of WidePoint common stock for a total purchase price of $437,533, or $1.02 per share, and Endurance Partners (Q.P.), L.P. agreed to purchase 1,071,046 shares of WidePoint common stock for a total purchase price of $1,092,467, or $1.02 per share. Pursuant to the Endurance Purchase Agreements, on May 19, 2008, the Company issued 428,954 shares of its common stock to Endurance Partners, L.P. and 1,071,046 shares of its common stock to Endurance Partners (Q.P.), L.P. The offer and sale of the shares were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in reliance on the private offering exemption provided under Section 4(2) thereof.
16
As a result of the equity transactions to raise additional capital that we entered into during the second quarter of 2008, the Company issued a combined cumulative total of 4,000,000 common shares of the Company which provided gross proceeds of approximately $4.1 million and net proceeds after various legal and other expenses of $3.9 million.
On July 31, 2008, pursuant to the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement between the Company, Protexx Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation, Protexx Incorporated, a Delaware corporation (Protexx), and Peter Letizia, Charles B. Manuel, Jr. and William Tabor, the Company issued 2,500,000 shares of its common stock in the name of Protexx and delivered such shares to the parties escrow agent to be held in escrow pending the possible release of such shares as part of the potential earnout to which Protexx may be entitled under the Purchase Agreement for calendar year 2008. The 2008 earnout was not attained. For calendar year 2009, Protexx shall have the opportunity to earn an additional Two Million Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($2,250,000) worth of privately issued shares of WidePoint common stock as part of the earnout for that calendar year. The maximum number of shares of WidePoint common stock that Protexx shall have the opportunity to earn for calendar year 2009 shall be equal to the number of shares of WidePoint common stock that results from Two Million Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($2,250,000) divided by the greater of (x) One Dollar and Twenty-Five Cents ($1.25) or (y) the average closing sale price of the WidePoint common stock for the twenty (20) trading days immediately preceding December 31, 2009.
Stock Warrants
On November 1, 2005, the Company issued a warrant to purchase 54,878 shares of common stock at a price of $0.80 per share 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 of common stock at a price of $0.49 and $0.45 per share, 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.
7. 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.
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. As of January 4, 2008, the Company added a third segment upon the acquisition of iSYS, LLC for mobile telecom expense management.
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, 2008.
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 technology-based provider of product and services to both the government sector and commercial markets. WidePoint was incorporated in Delaware on May 30, 1997. We have grown through the merger of highly specialized regional IT consulting companies.
Our expertise lies within three business segments. The three segments offer unique solutions in identity management services utilizing certificate-based security solutions; wireless telecommunication expense management systems; and other associated IT consulting services and products in which we provide specific subject matter expertise in IT Architecture and Planning, Software Implementation Services, IT Outsourcing, and Forensic Informatics.
WidePoint has three material operational entities, Operational Research Consultants, Inc. (ORC); iSYS, LLC (iSYS), which we acquired in January 2008; and WidePoint IL, Inc., operated together with Protexx Acquisition Corp., doing business as Protexx, which we acquired in July 2008:
ORC specializes in IT integration and secure authentication processes and software, and providing services to the U.S. Government. ORC has been at the forefront of implementing Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) technologies. 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. 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.
iSYS specializes in mobile telecommunications expense management services, forensic informatics, and information assurance services, predominantly to various agencies and departments of the U.S. Government.
Protexx, which was a development stage company when we acquired it, specializes in identity assurance, and mobile and wireless data protection products and services.
See Note 7 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report for a description of the operating results for each segment.
We intend to continue to market and sell our technical capabilities into the governmental and commercial marketplace. Further, we are continuing to actively search out new synergistic acquisitions that we believe may further enhance our present base of business and service offerings, which has already been augmented by our acquisitions of ORC and iSYS, our asset purchase of Protexx, and our internal growth initiatives.
With the addition of the customer base and the increase in revenues attributable to our iSYS acquisition, WidePoints opportunity to leverage and expand further into the federal governmental marketplace has improved substantially. iSYSs past client successes, top security clearances for their personnel, and additional breadth of management talent have expanded the Companys reach into markets that previously were not fully accessible to WidePoint. The Company intends to continue to leverage the synergies between its newly-acquired operating subsidiary, and cross sell its technical capabilities into each separate marketplace serviced by our respective subsidiaries.
20
Our revenues and operating results may vary significantly from quarter-to-quarter, due to 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. 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.
As a result of our acquisitions, which predominantly operate in the U.S. federal governmental marketplace, 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 calendar quarter (first quarter of the governments fiscal year). Further, a change in senior government officials may negatively affect the rate at which the federal government purchases 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. These comparisons are not indicators of future performance and 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 well as vendor-related costs in connection with our Mobile Telecom Managed Services segment. 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. The Company must also manage our telephony airtime plans and other vendor related offerings under our Mobile Telecom Managed Services provided to our customers as they also represent a significant portion of our costs. 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.
Our staff consists of business process and computer specialists who help our government and civilian customers augment and expand their resident technologic skills and competencies, drive technical innovation, and help develop and maintain a competitive edge in todays rapidly changing technological environment in business. Our organization emphasizes an intense commitment to our people, our customers, and the quality of our solutions offerings. As a services organization, our customers are our primary focus.
Results of Operations
Three Months Ended June 30, 2009 as Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2008
Revenues, net. Revenues for the three month period ended June 30, 2009 were approximately $10,392,000 as compared to approximately $9,264,000 for the three month period ended June 30, 2008. The increase in revenues was primarily attributable to increases in our Mobile Telecom Managed Services and PKI credentialing and managed services segments partially offset by a decline in our consulting services segment.
| Our Mobile Telecom Managed Services (MTEM) segment experienced revenue growth of approximately 48% from approximately $4,808,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2008, to approximately $7,114,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2009. The positive revenue performance primarily resulted from new contract awards and renewals and expansion work from our current customer base. We anticipate that this segment should continue to demonstrate positive revenue growth in the future as federal agencies continue to adopt the Companys services under the recent contract award associated with the federal strategic sourcing initiative, or FSSI, by the General Services Administration. In addition, we expect future revenue growth of this segment to be further bolstered by the drive of federal agencies and departments to expand the efficiencies and savings that services such as our Mobile Telecom Managed Services have to date proven to generate for these groups. Also, we are presently pursuing several significant service contract award opportunities at a number of federal agencies and are also initiating a new strategy to expand into state and local municipalities and commercial enterprises through a sales channel strategy utilizing intermediaries to potentially expand our reach beyond the federal sector and help to support the long-term growth of this segment. |
21
| Our PKI credentialing and managed services segment experienced revenue growth of approximately 30%. Revenues increased approximately $311,000 from $1,025,000 for the three month period ended June 30, 2008, to $1,336,000 for the three month period ended June 30, 2009. This positive revenue performance primarily resulted from new contract awards and renewals and expansion work from our current customer base. We anticipate that this segment should continue to demonstrate positive revenue growth in the future as various federal agency mandates continue to be implemented in order to strengthen their requirements for greater levels of identity management and better protect the federal information technology infrastructure thereof. We have entered into a number of affiliations with partners who support the end user base, which facilitate access to these various federal agencies and the technology infrastructure in order to take advantage of these identity management improvement mandates. We believe these new partnerships should widen our sales reach, which we anticipate should support the continued long-term growth of this segment. |
| Our consulting services segment experienced decreasing revenue of approximately 43%. Revenues decreased from $3,432,000 for the three month period ended June 30, 2008 to $1,942,000 for the three month period ended June 30, 2009. This primarily resulted from timing delays occurring in the 2nd quarter, which pushed sales of certain products and services into the third quarter of 2009. While this segment experiences fluctuations from quarter to quarter, we are hopeful that we will soon witness a bottoming trend in revenues as the economy slowly recovers. |
Cost of sales. Cost of sales for the three month period ended June 30, 2009, was approximately $8,190,000 (or 79% of revenues), as compared to cost of sales of approximately $7,647,000 (or 83% of revenues), for the three month period ended June 30, 2008. This absolute increase in cost of sales was primarily attributable to an increase in revenues. The decrease in our cost of sales as a percentage of revenues was primarily attributable to margin improvements in all three of our segments. Our MTEM and PKI segments realized greater margins from the benefit of economies of scale with our direct costs centers realizing greater efficiencies. Our consulting services segment realized greater margins as a result of a larger mix of higher margin consulting services, versus a lesser amount of lower margin software reselling that was realized during the quarter. We anticipate improvements in our costs of sales on a percentage basis as our MTEM and PKI segments add economies of scale, which may be partially offset at times by the fluctuation in our consulting services segment revenue mix.
Gross profit. Gross profit for the three month period ended June 30, 2009, was approximately $2,202,000 (or 21% of revenues), as compared to gross profit of approximately $1,617,000 (or 17% of revenues), for the three month period ended June 30, 2008. The percentage of gross profit was higher in the second quarter of 2009 as compared to the second quarter of 2008 as a result of higher margins associated with improved economies of scale in our MTEM and PKI segments and a greater mix of higher margin direct consulting services as compared to lower margin software reselling in our consulting services segment. We anticipate gross profit as a percentage of revenues should increase in the near term as cost of sales as a percentage of revenues decreases due to a greater mix of higher margin services. We believe as revenues expand in the future there will be periods of variability in margin growth associated with changes in our product mix.
Sales and marketing. Sales and marketing expense for the three month period ended June 30, 2009, was approximately $265,000, (or 3% of revenues) as compared to approximately $247,000 (or 3% of revenues), for the three month period ended June 30, 2008. This slight increase was primarily attributable to an initiative we are pursuing to increase our sales and marketing capabilities and infrastructure. The absolute dollar amount of sales and marketing should expand slightly in the near term as we expand our initiative to increase sales and marketing capabilities through the addition of several new hires, tools, and services infrastructure improvements. We believe that with our niche capabilities and the present latent demand for our services the investment within our sales and marketing will support our ability to continue to expand our revenues.
22
General and administrative. General and administrative expenses for the three month period ended June 30, 2009, were approximately $1,577,000 (or 15% of revenues), as compared to approximately $1,477,000 (or 16% of revenues) recorded by the Company for the three month period ended June 30, 2008. This increase in general and administrative expenses over those for the three months ended June 30, 2008, was primarily attributable to slight increases in general and administrative costs incurred to support our increasing revenue base. We anticipate that our general and administrative costs may rise slightly in the future as our support costs rise to facilitate our expectations of a greater revenue base as we continue our efforts to comply with pending additional financial compliance requirements.
Depreciation. Depreciation expense for the three month period ended June 30, 2009, was approximately $41,000 (or less than 1% of revenues), as compared to approximately $39,000 of such expenses (or less than 1% of revenues) recorded by the Company for the three month period ended June 30, 2008. This increase in depreciation expense over those for the three month period ended June 30, 2008, was primarily attributable to greater amounts of depreciable assets. We do not anticipate any material changes within depreciation expense in the short-term. However, as our revenue base increases within our MTEM and PKI segments, there may be a need from time to time to increase the purchase of equipment in support of new revenue streams that may raise our depreciation expenses.
Interest income. Interest income for the three month period ended June 30, 2009, was approximately $5,000 (or less than 1% of revenues), as compared to approximately $56,000 (or less than 1% of revenues), for the three month period ended June 30, 2008. This decrease in interest income for the three month period ended June 30, 2009, was primarily attributable to lesser amounts of invested cash and cash equivalents, and combined with lower short-term interest rates that were available to the Company on investments in interest bearing accounts. We do not anticipate any material changes in trends in our interest income for the near-term as a result of continuing low short-term interest rates presently payable by financial institutions in connection with the present monetary policy of the federal government.
Interest expense. Interest expense for the three month period ended June 30, 2009, was approximately $34,000 (or less than 1% of revenues), as compared to approximately $87,000 (or less than 1% of revenues), for the three month period ended June 30, 2008. This decrease in interest expense for the three month period ended June 30, 2009 was primarily attributable to lesser expenses associated with the debt instruments held by the Company. We anticipate our interest expense will continue to decrease as the Company continues to pay down the principal on its term note held by Cardinal Bank.
Income taxes. Income taxes for the three month period ended June 30, 2009 were approximately $39,000 as compared to no income taxes for the three month period ended June 30, 2008. The Company incurred a deferred income tax expense of approximately $39,000 for the three month period ended June 30, 2009, as a result of the recognition of a deferred tax liability attributable to the differences in our treatment of the amortization of goodwill for tax purposes versus book purposes as it relates to our acquisition of iSYS in January 2008. As goodwill is amortized for tax purposes but not book purposes and is considered a permanent asset rather than a temporary asset, the related deferred tax liability cannot be reversed until some indeterminate future period when the goodwill either becomes impaired and/or is disposed of.
Net income (loss). As a result of the above, the net income for the three month period ended June 30, 2009, was approximately $251,000 as compared to the net loss of approximately $178,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2008.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2009 as Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2008
Revenues, net. Revenues for the six month period ended June 30, 2009 were approximately $20,528,000 as compared to approximately $16,415,000 for the six month period ended June 30, 2008. This increase in revenues was primarily attributable to increases in our MTEM and PKI credentialing and managed services segments, partially offset by a decline in our consulting services segment.
| Our MTEM segment experienced revenue growth of approximately 45% from approximately $9,295,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 to approximately $13,471,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009. This positive revenue performance primarily resulted from new contract awards and renewals and expansion work from our current customer base. We anticipate that this segment should continue to demonstrate positive revenue growth in the future as federal agencies continue to adopt the Companys services under the recent contract award associated with the federal strategic sourcing initiative, or FSSI, by the General Services Administration. In addition, we expect future revenue growth of this segment to be further bolstered by the drive by federal agencies and departments to expand the efficiencies and savings that services such as our Mobile Telecom Managed Services have to date proven to generate for these groups. Also, we are presently pursuing several significant service contract opportunities to potentially provide our services, and we are also initiating a new strategy to expand into state and local municipalities and commercial enterprises through a sales channel strategy utilizing intermediaries. We believe that these efforts should further expand our reach beyond the federal sector and help to support the long-term growth of this segment. |
23
| Our PKI credentialing and managed services segment experienced revenue growth of approximately 54%. Revenues increased approximately $960,000, from $1,784,000 for the six month period ended June 30, 2008 to $2,744,000 for the six month period ended June 30, 2009 as a result of various mandates to roll out credential programs to various agencies and contractors. This positive revenue performance primarily resulted from new contract awards and renewals and expansion work from our current customer base. We anticipate that this segment should continue to demonstrate positive revenue growth in the future as various federal agency mandates continue to be implemented to strengthen their requirements for greater levels of identity management and better protect the federal information technology infrastructure thereof. We have entered into a number of affiliations with partners who support the end user base, which facilitate access to these various federal agencies and the technology infrastructure in order to take advantage of these identity management improvement mandates. We believe these new partnerships should widen our sales reach, which we anticipate will support the continued long-term growth of this segment. |
| Our consulting services segment experienced decreasing revenue of approximately 19%. Revenues decreased approximately $1,023,000, from $5,336,000 for the six month period ended June 30, 2008, as compared to $4,313,000 for the six month period ended June 30, 2009. This revenue decrease primarily resulted from timing delays occurring in the 2nd quarter, which pushed sales of certain products and services into the third quarter of 2009. While this segment experiences fluctuations from quarter to quarter, we believe that we are presently witnessing a bottoming trend in revenues. We believe that, as the economy slowly recovers, we should witness a return to positive revenue growth of this segment. |
Cost of sales. Cost of sales for the six month period ended June 30, 2009, was approximately $16,283,000 (or 79% of revenues), as compared to cost of sales of approximately $13,694,000 (or 83% of revenues), for the six month period ended June 30, 2008. This absolute increase in cost of sales was primarily attributable to an increase in revenues. The decrease in our cost of sales as a percentage of revenues was primarily attributable to margin improvements in our segments. Our MTEM and PKI segments realized greater margins from the benefit of economies of scale with our direct costs centers realizing greater efficiencies. Our consulting services segment realized improved margins as a result of lower revenues attributable to software resales in relation to higher direct consulting services revenue. We anticipate improvements in our costs of sales on a percentage basis as our MTEM and PKI segments add economies of scale, which may be partially offset at times by the fluctuation in our consulting services segment revenue mix.
Gross profit. Gross profit for the six month period ended June 30, 2009, was approximately $4,245,000 (or 21% of revenues), as compared to a gross profit of approximately $2,721,000 (or 17% of revenues), for the six month period ended June 30, 2008. The percentage of gross profit was higher in the first half of 2009 as compared to the first half of 2008 as a result of higher margins associated with improved economies of scale in our MTEM and PKI segments and a greater mix of higher margin direct consulting services as compared to lower margin software reselling in our consulting services segment. We anticipate gross profit as a percentage of revenues should increase in the near term as cost of sales as a percentage of revenues decreases due to a greater mix of higher margin services. We believe as revenues expand in the future there will be periods of variability in margin growth associated with changes in our product mix.
Sales and marketing. Sales and marketing expense for the six month period ended June 30, 2009, was approximately $495,000 (or 2% of revenues), as compared to approximately $413,000 (or 3% of revenues), for the six month period ended June 30, 2008. This increase was materially attributable to the expansion of our sales and marketing outreach efforts.
General and administrative. General and administrative expenses for the six month period ended June 30, 2009, were approximately $3,113,000 (or 15% of revenues), as compared to approximately $3,158,000 (or 19% of revenues), recorded by the Company for the six month period ended June 30, 2008. This decrease in general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2009, was primarily attributable to a decrease in stock compensation expense under SFAS No. 123R as a result of options issued to employees in connection with the iSYS acquisition in January 2008.
24
Depreciation expense. Depreciation expense for the six month period ended June 30, 2009, was approximately $84,000 (or less than 1% of revenues), as compared to approximately $76,000 (or less than 1% of revenues), recorded by the Company for the six month period ended June 30, 2008. This increase in depreciation expenses for the six month period ended June 30, 2009, was primarily attributable to the greater amounts of depreciable assets.
Interest income. Interest income for the six month period ended June 30, 2009, was approximately $19,000 (or less than 1% of revenues), as compared to approximately $72,000 (or less than 1% of revenues), for the six month period ended June 30, 2008. This decrease in interest income for the six month period ended June 30, 2009, was primarily attributable to lesser 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, 2009, was approximately $114,000 (or less than 1% of revenues), as compared to approximately $186,000 (or less than 1% of revenues), for the six month period ended June 30, 2008. This decrease in interest expense for the six month period ended June 30, 2009 was primarily attributable to the reduction in the outstanding balance of debt instruments held by the Company.
Income taxes. Income taxes for the six month period ended June 30, 2009 were approximately $78,000 as compared to no income taxes for the six month period ended June 30, 2008. The Company incurred a deferred income tax expense of approximately $78,000 for the six month period ended June 30, 2009 as a result of the recognition of a deferred tax liability attributable to the differences in our treatment of the amortization of goodwill for tax purposes versus book purposes as it relates to our acquisition of iSYS in January 2008. As goodwill is amortized for tax purposes but not for book purposes and is considered a permanent asset rather than a temporary asset, the related deferred tax liability cannot be reversed until some indeterminate future period when the goodwill either becomes impaired and/or is disposed of.
Net income (loss). As a result of the above, the net income for the six month period ended June 30, 2009, was approximately $380,000, as compared to the net loss of approximately $1,041,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2008.
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 2008 and through the period ended June 30, 2009, operations were materially financed with working capital, borrowings against the Companys credit facilities with Cardinal Bank and through the private sale of securities. During the first quarter of 2009 the Company modified its senior lending facility with Cardinal Bank, which senior lending facility now allows for the Company to borrow up to $5 million at a rate of prime plus 50 basis points. The new senior lending facility replaced the prior senior lending facility with Cardinal Bank. This senior lending facility matures on June 1, 2010. This senior lending facility, as modified, provides the Company with continuing liquidity to fund the operations of the business supporting additional contract awards and strategic opportunities to expand the Companys strategic goals and objectives. Further, on November 5, 2007, the Company entered into a series of agreements with Protexx, Inc., a company from which WidePoint acquired substantially all of the assets and intellectual property in July of 2008. These agreements allowed for Protexx, Inc. to borrow up to $250,000 from WidePoint on an installment basis between November 5, 2007 and July 31, 2008. The short-term borrowing facility was converted and eliminated by WidePoint at the time of the asset purchase of Protexx, Inc.
Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2009, was approximately $1.0 million, as compared to cash provided by operating activities of $2.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008. This decrease in cash generated from operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was primarily a result of a decrease in unbilled accounts receivable. Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2009, was approximately $0.1 million, as compared to $5.0 million used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2008. The decrease in net cash used in investing activities was primarily attributable to no acquisition activity during the period. Net cash used in financing activities amounted to approximately $2.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2009, as compared to cash provided by financing activities of approximately $5.6 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2008. This decrease in net cash provided by financing activities primarily related to the reduction of acquisition indebtedness and Cardinal Bank loans. As a result of the Companys capital raising in 2008 and profitability in 2009, the Company has had excess liquidity to absorb the pay-down of short-term and long-term debt, while still maintaining sufficient levels of capital resources to fund operations.
25
As of June 30, 2009, the Company had a net working capital of approximately $3.5 million. The Companys primary source of liquidity consists of approximately $3.0 million in cash and cash equivalents and approximately $7.5 million of accounts receivable and unbilled accounts receivable. Current liabilities include approximately $5.3 million in accounts payable and accrued expenses. The reduction in Current liabilities for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was predominately associated with the payment of sellers notes.
The Companys business environment is characterized by rapid technological change, periods of high growth and contraction and is influenced by material events such as mergers and acquisitions, with each of the foregoing able to substantially change the Companys outlook.
The Company has embarked upon several new initiatives to expand revenue growth which has included both acquisitions and organic 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.
Currently there are no material commitments for capital expenditures and software development costs. 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.
Management 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 that which occurred with the acquisition of iSYS or any other potential new subsidiaries, might require external financing that could include additional debt or equity capital. The Company added to its working capital during the second quarter of 2008 by selling shares of its common stock in private transactions. The approximate $4.1 million in proceeds has bolstered the Companys ability to finance working capital requirements. 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 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that material information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms, and that the information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. We performed an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on the existence of the material weaknesses discussed below under the heading Material Weaknesses our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level as of the end of the period covered by this report.
26
We do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all instances of fraud. Disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Further, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all disclosure controls and procedures, no evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures can provide absolute assurance that we have detected all our control deficiencies and instances of fraud, if any. The design of disclosure controls and procedures also is based partly on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
Material Weaknesses
In our Managements Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting included in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective due to the existence of the material weaknesses as of December 31, 2008, discussed below. A material weakness is a control deficiency, or a combination of control deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected.
| Inadequate segregation of duties within a significant account or process. We did not have appropriate segregation of duties within our internal controls that would ensure the consistent application of procedures in our financial reporting process by existing personnel. This control deficiency could result in a misstatement to substantially all of our financial statement accounts and disclosures that would result in a material misstatement to the annual or interim financial statements that would not be prevented or detected. Accordingly, management has concluded that this control deficiency constitutes a material weakness. |
| Inadequate documentation of the components of internal control. We did not maintain documented policies and evidence of compliance with our internal controls that would ensure the consistent application of procedures in our financial reporting process by existing personnel. This control deficiency could result in a misstatement to substantially all of our financial statement accounts and disclosures that would result in a material misstatement to the annual or interim financial statements that would not be prevented or detected. Accordingly, management has concluded that this control deficiency constitutes a material weakness. |
| Income Tax Accounting. We engage outside parties to assist us in accounting for income taxes. We have not implemented an effective review process for accounting for income taxes which could lead to errors occurring in the amounts and disclosures for income taxes. Accordingly, management has concluded that this control deficiency constitutes a material weakness. |
Remediation Plan for Material Weaknesses
The material weaknesses described above comprise control deficiencies that we discovered in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2007 and during the financial close process for fiscal year 2008. Upon our acquisition of iSYS in January 2008, we further determined that the material weaknesses described above were also present in iSYS internal controls. We specifically noted weaknesses associated with the process of recognizing a certain segment of the iSYS revenue and associated direct costs.
Beginning and during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007, we formulated a remediation plan and initiated remedial action to address those material weaknesses at WidePoint. During the first quarter of 2008, we expanded the scope of our remediation plan to address the material weaknesses related to the internal controls and procedures of iSYS. We have continued our remediation actions through the second quarter of 2009 and expect to continue working on our remediation plan through December 31, 2009. The elements of the remediation plan are as follows:
27
| Inadequate segregation of duties within a significant account or process. We commenced a thorough review of our accounting staffs duties and where necessary we have begun segregating such duties with other personnel. |
| Inadequate documentation of the components of internal control. We commenced a thorough review of our documentation and where necessary we are putting into place policies and procedures to document such evidence to comply with our internal control requirements. We are specifically addressing policies to properly review and recognize a certain segment of the iSYS revenue and associated direct costs. We have also retained a financial consultant to assist us in further reviewing and improving our internal control processes. |
| Inadequate Income Tax Accounting review process. We commenced a search and review of outside experts to assist us in developing an effective review process for accounting for income taxes. |
We believe that these measures, if effectively implemented and maintained, will remediate the material weaknesses discussed above.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
During the first half of fiscal year 2009, we undertook a number of measures to remediate the material weaknesses discussed above. Those measures, described under Remediation Plan for Material Weaknesses, undertaken during the first half of fiscal year 2009 continue into the second half of 2009. We anticipate these measures will have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Other than as described above, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the first or second quarters of 2009 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
