TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1.
Basis
of Presentation
WidePoint
Corporation (“WidePoint,” the “Company,” “we,” or “our”) is a provider of
technology-based products 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 with and acquisition of highly
specialized regional IT consulting companies.
Our
expertise lies within three business segments operated through six wholly-owned
operational entities. Our three business segments include: Wireless
Mobility Management (formerly referred to as our “Wireless Telecommunications
Expense Management Services” segment), Cybersecurity Solutions (formerly
referred to as our “Identity Management” segment), and IT Consulting Services
and Products. These segments offer unique solutions and proprietary
intellectual property (“IP”) in mobile and wireless full life cycle management
solutions; cybersecurity solutions with specific subject matter expertise, U.S.
government certifications and authorizations, and IP in identity management and
information assurance services utilizing certificate-based security solutions;
and other associated IT consulting services and products through 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. (“WP IL”) (operating in
conjunction with WP NBIL, Inc.), and with two early stage development companies:
Protexx Acquisition Corporation, doing business as Protexx, and Advanced
Response Concepts Corporation, doing business as Advanced Response Concepts. ORC
specializes in IT integration and secure authentication processes and software,
and is a provider of 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 and
forensic informatics, as well as information assurance services, predominantly
to the U.S. Government. WP IL and WP NBIL provide information
technology consulting services predominately to large commercial
enterprises. Protexx specializes in identity assurance and mobile and
wireless data protection services.
On
January 29, 2010, we completed the asset purchase and assumption of certain
liabilities from Vuance, Inc, including acquisition of their Government Services
Division. These assets are now housed in our wholly owned subsidiary
Advanced Response Concepts Corporation. Advanced Response Concepts
develops and markets leading-edge secure critical response management solutions
designed to improve coordination within emergency services and critical
infrastructure agencies.
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 today’s 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
condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2010, the condensed
consolidated statements of operations and statements of cash flows for the three
months and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, have been
prepared by the Company and are unaudited. The condensed consolidated
balance sheet as of December 31, 2009 was derived from the audited consolidated
financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 2009.
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 rules and
regulations, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles (“GAAP”) 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 months and
six months, respectively, ended June 30, 2010 are not indicative of the
operating results for the full year.

Significant
Accounting Policies
Accounting
Standards Updates
In
September, 2009, FASB issued Accounting Standard Update No. 13 (“ASU 13”),
Multiple Element Revenue Arrangements, which applies to ASC Topic 605, Revenue
Recognition. ASU 13, among other things, establishes the use of the
best estimate of selling price to determine the separate units of accounting in
a multiple element arrangement in the absence of vendor-specific objective
evidence or third party evidence. ASU 13 also removes the requirement
to use the residual method to allocate arrangement consideration to the separate
units of accounting in an arrangement, and instead requires the use of
management’s best estimate of the relative selling prices of each unit of
accounting to determine the consideration allocation. ASU 13 is effective for
arrangements entered into or materially modified in a fiscal year beginning on
or after June 15, 2010. This update to the ASC will be applied on a prospective
basis, and management is in the process of evaluating whether the update will
materially change the pattern and timing of the Company's recognition of
revenue.
Significant
Customers
For the
three months and six months ended June 30, 2010, three customers, the
Transportation Security Administration (“TSA”), the Department of Homeland
Security (“DHS”), and the Washington Headquarters Services (“WHS”), an agency
within the Department of Defense (“DoD”) that provides services for many DoD
agencies and organizations, represented the percentages of our revenue set forth
in the table below. 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 our results of operations.

Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
The
Company’s financial instruments include cash equivalents, accounts receivable,
notes receivable, accounts payable, short-term debt and other financial
instruments associated with the issuance of the common stock. 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 Company’s bank borrowings under
its credit facility approximate fair value because the interest rates are reset
periodically to reflect current market rates.
Accounts
Receivable
The
majority of the Company's 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
customer’s financial condition and, generally, collateral is not
required. Accounts receivable are usually 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 for doubtful accounts by considering a number
of factors, including the length of time trade accounts receivable are past due,
the Company’s previous loss history, the customer’s current ability to pay its
obligation to the Company, and the condition of the general economy and the
industry as a whole. The Company writes off accounts receivable when
they become uncollectible, and payments subsequently received on such
receivables are credited to the allowance for doubtful accounts.
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 Company’s establishment of such a bad debt
reserve. Upon specific review and our determination that a bad debt
reserve may be required, we will reserve such amount if we view the account as
potentially uncollectable.
The
Company is following a customer’s procedural guidelines in pursuing final
approval and collection of a single sales invoice of approximately
$500,000. In September of 2010 we will be filing further information as we
follow the procedural guidelines in response to our efforts to collect this
invoice. The aging of this invoice exceeds the 90 day past due
threshold noted above. However, the Company believes that it is adequately
responded to the procedural requirement to allow us to substantiate the billing
and we believe it is probable that the balance will be fully collected upon
completion of the procedural process we are following to collect this
invoice.
Basic
and Diluted Net Income Per Share
Basic net
income per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing net income by
the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted
net income 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. Net income per common share
was computed as follows:

Stock-based
compensation
The
Company recognizes share-based compensation ratably using the straight-line
attribution method over the requisite service period. In addition,
the Company is required to estimate the amount of expected forfeitures when
calculating share-based compensation.
The
amount of compensation expense recognized during the three month and six month
periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, under our plans was
comprised of the following:

Since we
have cumulative operating tax losses as of June 30, 2010, 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 three months
and six months ended June 30, 2010, 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.
The fair
value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using a
Black-Scholes option pricing model, which uses the assumptions of no dividend
yield, risk-free interest rates and expected life in years of approximately 3
years. The option awards are for the period from 1999 through 2010.
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

The
aggregate remaining contractual lives in years for the options outstanding and
exercisable on June 30, 2010 were 4.18 and 3.44, respectively. In
comparison, the aggregate remaining contractual lives in years for the options
outstanding and exercisable on June 30, 2009, were 2.78 and 2.03,
respectively.
Aggregate
intrinsic value represents total pretax intrinsic value (the difference between
WidePoint’s closing stock price on June 30, 2010, 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,
2010. The intrinsic value will change based on the fair market value of
WidePoint’s stock. The total intrinsic values of options outstanding and
exercisable as of June 30, 2010, were $1,506,694 and $1,458,143, respectively.
The total intrinsic value of options exercised for the second quarter of fiscal
2010 was $0. The Company issues new shares of common stock upon the exercise of
stock options. At June 30, 2010, 4,436,438 Shares were available for
future grants under the Company's 2008 Stock Incentive Plan.
At June
30, 2010, the Company had approximately $285,000 of total unamortized
compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, related to stock option
plans that will be recognized over the weighted average period of 3.53
years.
Non-Employee
Stock-based Compensation:
The
Company accounts for stock-based non-employee compensation arrangements using
the fair value recognition provisions of ASC 505-50, “Equity-Based Payments to
Non-Employees” (formerly known as 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).
3. Debt
On May
25, 2010 the Company entered into an Amended Commercial Loan Agreement with
Cardinal Bank (the “2010 Debt Modification Agreement”). Pursuant to
the 2010 Debt Modification Agreement, the repayment date of the revolving credit
facility was extended from June 1, 2010. to September 1, 2010. and advances
under the revolving credit facility now 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 2009 Commercial Loan Agreement (as amended by the 2010 Debt
Modification Agreement) are collateralized by the Company’s 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 August 16, 2010. The Company is
presently working with Cardinal Bank on renewing the credit facility and expects
to renew the credit facility prior to September 1, 2010.
11
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, 2010, we
owed approximately $1.0 million under the term note.
4. Goodwill
and Intangible Assets
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. We
have not identified any impairment as of June 30, 2010.
The
changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the six-month period ended June
30, 2010 and for the year ended December 31, 2009, respectively, are as

during the three month or six month period ended June 30, 2010.
5.
Income
Taxes
The
Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, “Income Taxes”
(formerly known as SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”). 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. Income tax accounting guidance 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 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 Company’s assessments of its tax positions did not
result in changes that had a material impact on results of operations, financial
condition or liquidity. As of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Company
had no unrecognized tax benefits. While the Company does not have any interest
and penalties in the periods presented, the Company’s policy is to recognize
such expenses as tax expense.
13
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 2002 through 2009. Additionally,
the Company may be subject to examinations by various state taxing jurisdictions
for tax years 2002 through 2009. The Company is currently under examination by
the IRS for its fiscal period ending December 31, 2008. The Company is not
currently under examination by the IRS for any other fiscal period and is not
currently under examination by any other state taxing authority.
As of
June 30, 2010, the Company had net operating loss (NOL) carry forwards of
approximately $15 million to offset future taxable income. There are also up to
approximately in $8 million in state tax NOL carry forwards. These
carry forwards expire between 2010 and 2029. In assessing the ability to realize
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 entity’s ownership of 50 percent or greater,
utilization of net operating loss carry forwards may be limited. As a result of
WidePoint’s equity transactions, the Company’s net operating losses will be
subject to such limitations and may not be available to offset future income for
tax purposes. In the fourth quarter of 2009, the Company completed its
“Section 382” analysis and preliminarily determined that some of the
Company’s net operating losses may be limited as a result of expirations that
may occur prior to the utilization of those net operating losses under the
limitations from certain changes of control that occurred in past
years. Such limitations will result in approximately $4,907,000 of
tax benefits related to federal NOL carryforwards that will expire unused.
Accordingly, the related NOL carryforwards have been removed from deferred tax
assets accompanied by a corresponding reduction of the valuation allowance. Due
to the existence of the valuation allowance, limitations created by future
ownership changes, if any, related to our operations in the U.S. will not impact
our effective tax rate.
No stock
options have been exercised in the six months ending June 30,
2010. Therefore, no tax benefit has been realized during the three or
six month periods ending June 30, 2010, respectively. For the three
and six months ending June 30, 2009, respectively, no tax benefit has been
realized because of the existence of net operating loss
carryforwards. There will be no credit to additional paid in capital
for such stock option exercises 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 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 $39,000 for the
three months ended June 30, 2010, and June 30, 2009, respectively. This deferred
income tax expense is 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. Income tax
accounting guidance 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. Segment
reporting
Segments
are defined by authoritative guidance 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. Management evaluates
segment performance primarily based on revenue and segment operating
income.
The
Company operates as three segments, which include Wireless Mobility Management,
Cybersecurity Solutions, and IT Consulting Services and Products.
14
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 tables set 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. Management does not analyze
assets for decision making purposes as it relates to the segments below.
Accordingly, information is not available for long-lived assets or total
assets.

8. Advanced Response
Concepts Corporation Asset Purchase.
On
January 29, 2010, the Company, together with its wholly-owned subsidiary,
Advanced Response Concepts Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Advanced
Response Concepts”), entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Vuance, Inc.
(“Vuance”), a Delaware corporation, and Vuance’s sole shareholder, Vuance, Ltd.,
a public company organized in the State of Israel under the Israeli Companies
Law (the “Vuance Agreement”), pursuant to which Advanced Response Concepts
acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of Vuance as further
specified in the Vuance Agreement. Advanced Response Concepts
acquired all assets of the collective business of Vuance relating to its
Government Services Division. The purchased assets include, but are not limited
to, the operation by Vuance of identity assurance and priority resource
management solutions; crime scene management and information protection, and
other activities related or incidental thereto; and the development,
maintenance, enhancement and provision of software, services, products and
operations for identity management and information protection, which are offered
primarily to state and local government agency markets.
The
acquisition of Vaunce was accounted for using the acquisition method of
accounting. The fair value of the consideration was approximately
$684,000. Based upon a review of the costs of performing certain
assumed obligations we increased the amount reserved to perform these obligation
approximately $76,000 increasing the consideration to approximately
$759,000.

ITEM
2. MANAGEMENT’S 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 Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2009.
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 products 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 with and acquisition of
highly specialized regional IT consulting companies.
Our
expertise lies in three business segments operated through six wholly-owned
operational entities. Our three business segments include: Wireless
Mobility Management (formerly referred to as our “Wireless Telecommunications
Expense Management Services” segment), Cybersecurity Solutions (formerly
referred to as our “Identity Management” segment), and IT Consulting Services
and Products. These segments offer unique solutions and proprietary
intellectual property (“IP”) in mobile and wireless full life cycle management
solutions; cybersecurity solutions with specific subject matter expertise, U.S.
government certifications and authorizations, and IP in identity management and
information assurance services utilizing certificate-based security solutions;
and other associated IT consulting services and products through which we
provide specific subject matter expertise in IT Architecture and Planning,
Software Implementation Services, IT Outsourcing, and Forensic
Informatics.
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 purchases of Protexx and Advanced
Response Concepts, and our internal growth initiatives.
With the
addition of the customer base and the increase in revenues attributable to our
iSYS acquisition, WidePoint’s opportunity to leverage and expand further into
the federal government marketplace has improved substantially. iSYS’s past
client successes, top security clearances for their personnel, and additional
breadth of management talent have expanded the Company’s reach into markets that
previously were not fully accessible to WidePoint. Further supplemented by the
addition of the Protexx and Advanced Response Concepts asset acquisitions, the
Company intends to continue to leverage the synergies between its newly-acquired
operating subsidiaries, and cross sell its technical capabilities into each
separate marketplace serviced by our respective business segments.
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 ORC and iSYS acquisitions, which predominantly operate in the U.S.
federal government marketplace, we rely upon a larger portion of our revenues
from the federal government directly or as a subcontractor. The federal
government’s 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 government’s fiscal
year). Further, a change in senior government officials, or
realignment of responsibilities, may negatively affect the rate at which the
federal government purchases the services that we offer.
18
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 WidePoint’s current costs consist primarily of the salaries
and benefits paid to WidePoint’s technical, marketing and administrative
personnel as well as vendor-related costs in connection with our Wireless
Mobility Management segment. As a result of our plan to expand
WidePoint’s operations through a combination of internal growth initiatives
and merger and acquisition opportunities, WidePoint expects such costs
to increase. WidePoint’s profitability also depends upon both the volume
of services performed and the Company’s ability to manage costs. As a
significant portion of the Company’s cost 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
Company’s 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 technological skills
and competencies, drive technical innovation, and help develop and maintain a
competitive edge in today’s 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,
2010 as Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2009
Revenues,
net. Revenues for the three month period ended June 30, 2010,
were approximately $12.5 million as compared to approximately $10.4 million for
the three month period ended June 30, 2009. The increase in revenues
was primarily attributable to increases in our Cyber security and consulting
segments as a result of the performance of recent contract awards and
expansions.
·
|
Our
Wireless Mobility
Management segment experienced decreased revenue of approximately
3% from approximately $7.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 to
approximately $6.9 million for the quarter ended June 30,
2010. The decrease in revenue was predominately the result of a
one-time sale of equipment of approximately $500,000 that occurred in the
second quarter of 2009 that did not recur in the second quarter of
2010. Excluding the one-time equipment sale in the second
quarter of 2009, we witnessed revenue growth of approximately 5% in the
second quarter of 2010 as compared to the second quarter of
2009. Effective
July 31, 2010, WHS pass-through billing services contract lapsed. Over the
past six months this represented approximately $6 million in
revenue. Short-term, we may witness a reduction or
variability in revenue growth as the revenue mix in this segment
experiences a reduction of billable calling minutes as compared to managed
fees as we shift our attention to expanding the fee portion of our sales
mix. 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 by utilizing intermediary sales channels to
potentially expand our reach beyond the federal sector and help to support
the long-term growth of this
segment.
|
· |
Our
Cyber Security Solutions
segment experienced revenue growth of approximately 86% from
approximately $1.3 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2009
to approximately $2.5 million for the three month period ended June 30,
2010. This growth was primarily a result of increases in our
credential sales associated with several initiatives requiring the use of
those credentials by government agencies and a result of contract awards
made during the quarter to our newly established subsidiary Advanced
Response Concepts. We anticipate that this segment should
continue to demonstrate 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 within federal
agencies. 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 related technology infrastructure in
order to take advantage of these identity management improvement
mandates. We believe these new partnerships should widen our
sales reach.
|
19
· |
Our IT Consulting Services and
Products segment experienced revenue growth of approximately
59%. Revenues increased from approximately $1.9 million for the
three month period ended June 30, 2009 to approximately $3.1 million for
the three month period ended June 30, 2010. This positive
revenue performance primarily resulted from new contract awards and
renewals and expansion work from our current customer base occurring in
this quarter. We anticipate that this segment should continue
to grow at a moderate rate but given the nature and variability of the
products and services we offer within this segment the growth may be
erratic.
|
Cost of
sales. Cost of sales for the three month
period ended June 30, 2010 was approximately $9.5 million (or 76% of revenues),
as compared to cost of sales of approximately $8.2 million (or 79% of revenues),
for the three month period ended June 30, 2009. This overall 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 Wireless Mobility Management and Cyber Security
Solutions segments realized greater margins from the benefit of economies of
scale, with our direct costs centers realizing greater
efficiencies. Our IT Consulting Services and Products 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 as a percentage basis as our Wireless Mobility Management and Cyber
Security Solutions segments add economies of scale, which may be partially
offset at times by the fluctuation in our IT Consulting Services and Products
segment revenue mix.
Gross
profit. Gross profit for the three month period ended June 30,
2010 was approximately $2.9 million (or 24% of revenues), as compared to gross
profit of approximately $2.2 million (or 21% of revenues) for the three month
period ended June 30, 2009. The percentage of gross profit was higher
in the second quarter of 2010 as compared to the second quarter of 2009 as a
result of higher margins associated with improved economies of scale in our
Wireless Mobility Management and Cyber Security Solutions segments, and a
greater mix of higher margin direct consulting services as compared to lower
margin software reselling in our IT Consulting Services and Products
segment. We anticipate gross profit as a percentage of revenues
should increase as cost of sales as a percentage of revenues decreases due to a
greater mix of higher margin services. We believe that 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, 2010 was approximately $488,000 (or 4% of revenues), as
compared to approximately $265,000 (or 3% of revenues) for the three month
period ended June 30, 2009. The absolute dollar amount of sales and
marketing expanded as we increased our 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.
General and
administrative. General and administrative expenses for the
three month period ended June 30, 2010 were approximately $1.9 million (or 15%
of revenues) as compared to approximately $1.6 million (or 15% of revenues) for
the three month period ended June 30, 2009. This increase in general
and administrative expenses was primarily attributable to increases in general
and administrative costs, including those related to the Company’s addition of a
new subsidiary, Advanced Response Concepts, that added to our general and
administrative expense base, additional non-recurring associated carrying costs
for consultants incurred in connection with security clearance approvals, as
well as the payments of certain performance bonuses that were
awarded. As we continue our efforts to comply with pending additional
financial compliance requirements, 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. We believe
that our general and administrative costs on a percentage of
revenue will level out or decrease in future financial reporting
periods.
Depreciation. Depreciation
expense for the three month period ended June 30, 2010, was approximately
$49,000 (or less than 1% of revenues), as compared to approximately $41,000 of
such expenses (or less than 1% of revenues) for the three month period ended
June 30, 2009. This increase in depreciation expense over such
expenses for the three month period ended June 30, 2009 was primarily
attributable to recent acquisitions of additional depreciable
assets. We do not anticipate any material changes within depreciation
expense in the short-term. However, as our revenue base increases
within our Wireless Mobility Management and Cyber Security Solutions
segments, there may be a need from time to time to increase the purchase of
equipment in support of new revenue streams that may then raise our depreciation
expenses.
20
Interest
income. Interest income for the three month period ended June
30, 2010 was approximately $2,000 (or less than 1% of revenues), as compared to
approximately $5,000 (or less than 1% of revenues) for the three month period
ended June 30, 2009. This decrease in interest income for the three
month period ended June 30, 2010 was primarily attributable to lesser amounts of
invested cash and cash equivalents, 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 U.S. federal government.
Interest
expense. Interest expense for the three month period ended
June 30, 2010 was approximately $23,000 (or less than 1% of revenues) as
compared to approximately $34,000 (or less than 1% of revenues) for the three
month period ended June 30, 2009. This decrease in interest expense
for the three month period ended June 30, 2010 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 periods ended June 30, 2010 and June 30,
2009 were approximately $78,000 and $39,000, respectively. The increase was
predominately attributable to the inclusion of our estimate for alternative
minimum taxes. The Company also incurred a deferred income tax
expense of approximately $39,000 for each three month period, 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. As a
result of the above, the net income for the three month period ended June 30,
2010 was approximately $413,000 as compared to the net income of approximately
$251,000 for the three month period ended June 30, 2009.
Six Months Ended June 30,
2010 as Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2009
Revenues,
net. Revenues for the six month period ended June 30, 2010
were approximately $23.6 million as compared to approximately $20.5 million for
the three month period ended June 30, 2009. The increase in revenues
was primarily attributable to increases in all three of our segments as a result
of the performance of recent contract awards and expansions.
· |
Our
Wireless Mobility
Management
segment experienced revenue growth of approximately 2% from
approximately $13.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 to
approximately $13.8 million for the six months ended June 30,
2010. The positive revenue performance primarily resulted from
the execution of new contract awards and renewals and expansion work from
our current customer base. Effective
July 31, 2010, WHS pass-through billing services contract lapsed. Over the
past six months this represented approximately $6 million in
revenue. Short-term we may witness a reduction or variability
in revenue growth as the revenue mix in this segment experiences a
reduction of billable calling minutes as compared to managed fees as we
shift our attention to expanding the fee portion of our sales
mix. 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 by utilizing intermediary supply channels to
potentially expand our reach beyond the federal sector and help to support
the long-term growth of this
segment.

· |
Our
Cyber Security Solutions
segment experienced solid revenue growth of approximately 43% to
approximately $3.9 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2010
from approximately $2.7 million for the six month period ended June 30,
2009. This growth was primarily a result of increases in our
credential sales associated with several initiatives requiring the use of
those credentials by government agencies and as a result of contract
awards made during the second quarter to our newly established subsidiary,
Advanced Response Concepts. 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 related 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.

21
· |
Our
IT Consulting Services
and Products segment experienced revenue growth of approximately
37% during the six month period ended June 30, 2010. Revenues
increased from approximately $4.3 million for the six month period ended
June 30, 2009 to $5.9 million for the six month period ended June 30,
2010. 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 realize
modest growth but given the nature and variability of the products and
services we offer within this segment, the growth may be
erratic.
|
Cost of
sales. Cost of sales for the six month
period ended June 30, 2010 was approximately $18.2 million (or 77% of revenues),
as compared to cost of sales of approximately $16.3 million (or 79% of
revenues), for the six month period ended June 30, 2009. 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 Wireless Mobility Management and Cyber Security
Solutions segments
realized greater margins from the benefit of economies of scale with our direct
costs centers realizing greater efficiencies. Our IT Consulting
Services and Products 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
Wireless Mobility Management and Cyber Security Solutions segments add economies
of scale, which may be partially offset at times by the fluctuation in our IT
Consulting Services and Products segment revenue mix.
Gross
profit. Gross profit for the six month period ended June 30,
2010 was approximately $5.5 million (or 23% of revenues) as compared to gross
profit of approximately $4.2 million (or 21% of revenues), for the six month
period ended June 30, 2009. The percentage of gross profit was higher
in the first quarter of 2010 as compared to the first quarter of 2009 as a
result of higher margins associated with improved economies of scale in our
Wireless Mobility Management and Cyber Security Solutions segments and a greater
mix of higher margin direct consulting services as compared to lower margin
software reselling in our IT Consulting Services and Products
segment. We anticipate gross profit as a percentage of revenues
should increase 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, 2010 was approximately $831,000 (or 4% of revenues), as
compared to approximately $495,000 (or 2% of revenues), for the six month period
ended June 30, 2009. The dollar amount of sales and marketing
increased substantially as we increased our sales and marketing capabilities
through the addition of several new hires, tools, and services infrastructure
improvements, as well as business development expenditures in support of our
Protexx and Advanced Response Concepts emerging market
initiatives. 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.
General and
administrative. General and administrative expenses for the
six month period ended June 30, 2010 were approximately $3.7 million (or 16% of
revenues), as compared to approximately $3.1 million (or 15% of revenues) for
the six month period ended June 30, 2009. This increase in general
and administrative expenses over those for the six months ended June 30, 2009,
was primarily attributable to increases in general and administrative costs as
we added a new subsidiary Advanced Response Concepts that added to our general
and administrative expense base, along with; a one time increase in legal
expenses associated with the purchase of the assets of the government business
of Vuance, Inc., which we are operating as Advanced Response Concepts; some
additional non-recurring associated carrying costs for consultants that we
incurred in connection with pending security clearance approvals; and the
payments of certain performance bonuses that were
awarded. 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. We believe that our general and administrative costs on
a percentage of revenue basis will level out or decrease in future financial
reporting periods.
Depreciation. Depreciation
expense for the six month period ended June 30, 2010 was approximately $98,000
(or less than 1% of revenues), as compared to approximately $84,000 of such
expenses (or less than 1% of revenues) for the six month period ended June 30,
2009. This increase in depreciation expense over those for the six
month period ended June 30, 2009 was primarily attributable to recent
acquisitions of additional depreciable assets. We do not anticipate
any material changes within depreciation expense in the
short-term. However, as our revenue base increases within our
Wireless Mobility Management and Cyber Security Solutions segments, there may be
a need from time to time to increase the purchase of equipment in support of new
revenue streams that may then raise our depreciation expenses.
22
Interest
income. Interest income for the six month period ended June
30, 2010 was approximately $9,000 (or less than 1% of revenues), as compared to
approximately $19,000 (or less than 1% of revenues), for the six month period
ended June 30, 2009. This decrease in interest income for the six
month period ended June 30, 2010, 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 U.S. federal
government.
Interest
expense. Interest expense for the six month period ended June
30, 2010 was approximately $50,000 (or less than 1% of revenues), as compared to
approximately $114,000 (or less than 1% of revenues), for the six month period
ended June 30, 2009. This decrease in interest expense for the six
month period ended June 30, 2010, 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 six month periods ended June 30, 2010 and
June 30, 2009 were approximately $117,000 and $78,000, respectively. The
increase was predominately attributable to the inclusion of our estimate for
alternative minimum taxes. The Company also incurred a deferred
income tax expense of approximately $78,000 for each six month period, 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. As a
result of the above, the net income for the six month period ended June 30, 2010
was approximately $652,000 as compared to the net income of approximately
$380,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009.
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 2009 and through the period ended June 30, 2010,
operations were primarily financed with working capital, senior debt, and stock
option and warrant exercises.
Net cash
used in operating activities for the three months ended June 30, 2010 was
approximately $0.5 million, as compared to cash used in operating activities of
$1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009. This increase
in cash used in operating activities for the three months ended June 30, 2010
was primarily a result of a decrease in accounts payable during the second
quarter of 2010. The decrease in accounts payable resulted from an
acceleration of payments to certain vendors who requested shorter payment terms
and as a result of shorter payment terms associated with new vendors that we are
establishing credit with in support of our newly established subsidiary Advanced
Response Concepts. Net cash used in investing activities for the
three months ended June 30, 2010 was approximately $43,000, as compared to
$74,000 in cash used in investing activities for the three months ended June 30,
2009. The decrease in net cash used in investing activities was
primarily attributable to decreased purchases of property and equipment by the
Company. Net cash used in financing activities amounted to approximately
$196,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2010, as compared to net cash used
in financing activities of approximately $177,000 in the three months ended June
30, 2009. This increase in net cash used in financing activities primarily
related to the reduction of debt during the three months ended June 30, 2010 as
compared to the three months ended June 30, 2009. As a result of the
Company’s capital raising in 2008 and its profitability in 2009 and in the first
six months of 2010, the Company has had excess liquidity to pay down short-term
and long-term debt, while still maintaining sufficient levels of capital
resources to fund operations.
23
As of
June 30, 2010, the Company had a net working capital of approximately $4.3
million. The Company’s primary source of liquidity consists of
approximately $2.6 million in cash and cash equivalents and approximately $10.1
million of accounts receivable and unbilled accounts
receivable. Current liabilities include approximately $7.8 million
in accounts payable
and accrued expenses.
The
Company’s 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 Company’s 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 Company’s 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. 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. The Company presently has a unused credit facility
for $5 million that is expiring on September 1, 2010. We are
presently completing the renewal of this credit facility with Cardinal Bank and
expect that it will be renewed prior to the expiration of the present credit
facility.
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
SEC's 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 in “Material
Weakness in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting,” 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.
24
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
Weakness in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
A
material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal
control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility
that a material misstatement of the Company's annual or interim financial
statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
Management
assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as
of December 31, 2009. In making this assessment, management used the
criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway
Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework.
Based on
this assessment, management concluded that our internal control over financial
reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2009 due to the existence of the
following material weaknesses:
Inadequate segregation of duties
within a significant account or process. Management determined that it
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.
Lack of sufficient subject matter
expertise. Management determined that it lacks certain subject
matter expertise accounting for and the disclosure of complex transactions. Our
financial staff currently lacks sufficient training or experience in accounting
for complex transactions and the required disclosure therein.
Remediation
Plan for Material Weaknesses
The
material weaknesses described above in "Material Weaknesses in Internal Control
Over Financial Reporting" comprise control deficiencies that we discovered
during the financial close process for the December 31, 2009 fiscal
period.
Management
commenced a remediation plan during the first quarter of 2010 that will be
implemented during our fiscal year 2010, which includes (i) recruiting and
adding specific financial subject matter experts as consultants or employees to
the financial staff, and (ii) augmenting and allowing for additional training
and education for select members of our financial staff. Management
is presently recruiting additional staff and has allowed for additional training
and education of its present staff in addressing the material
weaknesses.
We
believe that these measures, if effectively implemented and maintained, will
remediate the material weaknesses discussed above.
Changes
in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
We are
currently undertaking the measures discussed above to remediate the material
weaknesses discussed under “Material Weaknesses in Internal Control Over
Financial Reporting” above. Those measures, described under
“Remediation Plan for Material Weaknesses,” were commenced during the first
quarter of 2010, will continue to be implemented during our fiscal year 2010,
and will materially affect, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our
internal control over financial reporting.
25
Other
than as described above, there have been no changes in our internal control over
financial reporting during the three-month period ended June 30, 2010 that have
materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal
control over financial reporting.
Because
of its inherent limitations, a system of internal control over financial
reporting can provide only reasonable assurance and may not prevent or detect
misstatements. Further, because of changes in conditions,
effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting may vary over
time. Our system contains self-monitoring mechanisms, and actions are
taken to correct deficiencies as they are identified.
