WIDEPOINT CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.
Basis of Presentation
 
WidePoint Corporation (“WidePoint” or the “Company”) 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 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. (operating in conjunction with WP NBIL.), 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 provides information technology consulting services predominately to large commercial enterprises.  Protexx specializes in identity assurance and mobile and wireless data protection services.

In February 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 March 31, 2010, the condensed consolidated statements of operations and statements of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 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 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 months ended March 31, 2010 are not indicative of the operating results for the full year.

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.

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.

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 (“VSOE”) or third party evidence (“TPE”).  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 quarter ended March 31, 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.

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 March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively, three customers, DHS, WHS, and TSA represented the percentages of our accounts receivable and unbilled accounts receivable as set forth in the table below:

Fair value of financial instruments
 
The Company’s 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.  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.

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 in excess of federally insured limits.  The Company’s financial institution participates in the FDIC’s Transaction Account Guarantee (TAG) Program whereby all non-interest bearing transactions accounts are fully guaranteed by the FDIC for the entire amount of the account through June 30, 2010.  Effective May 15, 2009, deposits not covered under the temporary TAG program at FDIC-insured institutions are insured up to at least $250,000 per depositor through December 31, 2013. On January 1, 2014, the standard insurance amount will return to $100,000 per depositor for all account categories except for IRAs and other certain retirement accounts, which will remain at $250,000 per depositor. 

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 uncollectible.
 
7

 
The Company is following a customer’s procedural guidelines in pursuing final approval and collection of a single sales invoice of approximately $500,000.  The aging of this invoice exceeds the 90 day past due threshold noted above.  However, the Company believes that it has adequately responded to the customer’s questions and substantiated the billing to the customer and that it is probable that the balance will be fully collected upon completion of this customer’s formal process.

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 March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, unbilled accounts receivable totaled approximately $1,774,000 and $1,334,000, respectively.

Revenue Recognition
 
The Company has revenue contracts with customers, which may involve multiple deliverable elements.  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, any contingencies that may be present, historical experience with like transactions or with like products, the creditworthiness of the customer, and other current market and economic conditions.  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.

Revenue from the sale of PKI credentials is recognized when delivery occurs.  Arrangements with customers on PKI related contracts may involve multiple deliverable elements.   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, 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.

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 whereby the Company controls issuance of the credentials is recognized when delivery occurs or the credential is available to the customer.  In connection with the sale of PKI credentials the Company generates revenues 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.

Revenue from the sale of PKI credentials whereby the customer controls issuance of the credential (for example, the sale of PKI Credential Seats along with the sale of maintenance, hosting and support to be delivered over the contract period), is allocated by the Company 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 the estimated costs of a contract are greater then the remaining revenues to be recognized, the Company estimates and reserves the total costs required to perform the contract at the time such event becomes known to the Company.

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 March 31, 2010 and 2009, 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 authoritative guidance that requires that deferred tax assets and liabilities be computed based on the difference between the financial statement and income tax bases of assets and liabilities using the enacted marginal tax rate.  The 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 impact of an uncertain tax position taken or expected to be taken on an income tax return in the financial statements at the amount that is more likely than not to be sustained upon audit by the relevant taxing authority. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized in the financial statements unless it is more likely than not of being sustained.

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

    $ 520,412     $ 538,811  

Depreciation expense is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of between two and five years depending upon the classification of the property and/or equipment.

The Company capitalizes costs related to software development (including certain upgrades and enhancements that result in additional functionality) and implementation in connection with its internal use software systems.  All preliminary project stage and post implementation costs (including training and maintenance) are expensed as incurred.

Software Development Costs

For software development costs (or “internally developed intangible assets”) related to software products for sale, lease or otherwise marketed, 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 $70,000 of amortization expense for the three month period ended March 31, 2010, as compared to approximately $67,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 2009.  WidePoint capitalized approximately $14,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 2010, as compared to approximately $12,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 2009. Capitalized software development costs, net, included in Intangibles, net, on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets at March 31, 2010 were approximately $0.3 million, compared to approximately $0.4 million at December 31, 2009.

During 2009, we estimated that we would be capitalizing approximately $50,000 more prior to the issuance of the Authority To Operate (“ATO”), but the project timeframe has been extended into April of 2010 with an estimated cost of approximately $65,000.  Upon completion, we will commence amortizing the ATO over an approximate three year life.

Goodwill, Other Intangible Assets, and Long-Lived Assets
 
Goodwill is not subject to amortization and annual review is required for impairment.  The impairment test 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 Company’s annual impairment testing date is December 31st. As of December 31, 2009, no impairment had occurred. We have not identified any impairment as of March 31, 2010.

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 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.  The treasury stock effect of the conversion of options and warrants to purchase 1,599,020 and 1,007,691 shares of common stock outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, has been included in the calculations of the diluted net income per share. 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 periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, under our plans was comprised of the following:

Since we have cumulative operating tax losses as of March 31, 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 ended March 31, 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 (“Black-Scholes 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.

The aggregate remaining contractual lives in years for the options outstanding and exercisable on March 31, 2010 were 4.43 and 3.67, respectively.  In comparison, the aggregate remaining contractual lives in years for the options outstanding and exercisable on March 31, 2009, were 3.01 and 2.28, respectively.

Aggregate intrinsic value represents total pretax intrinsic value (the difference between WidePoint’s closing stock price on March 31, 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 March 31, 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 March 31, 2010, were $1,241,373 and $1,203,423, respectively. The total intrinsic value of options exercised for the first quarter of fiscal 2010 was approximately $0. The Company issues new shares of common stock upon the exercise of stock options.  At March 31, 2010, 4,436,438 Shares were available for future grants under the Company’s 2008 Stock Incentive Plan.

At March 31, 2010, the Company had approximately $313,000 of total unamortized compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, related to stock option plans that will be recognized over the weighted average period of 3.70 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).

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 March 31, 2010, 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 Company’s 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 Company’s 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 2009 Commercial Loan Agreement were 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 May 17, 2010.

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 March 31, 2010, we owed approximately $1.0 million under the term note.

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 March 31, 2010.
The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the three-month period ended March 31, 2010 and for the year ended December 31, 2009, respectively, are as follows:

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 March 31, 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.

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 not under examination by the IRS or any state tax jurisdiction.

As of March 31, 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 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 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.  Utilization of the NOL carryforwards will be subject to an annual limitation under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and similar state provisions due to ownership change limitations that have occurred. These ownership changes will limit the amount of NOL carryforwards that can be utilized to offset future taxable income. In general, an ownership change, as defined by Section 382, results from transactions increasing ownership of certain stockholders or public groups in the stock of the corporation by more than 50 percentage points over a three-year period. An analysis was performed which indicated that multiple ownership changes have occurred in previous years which created annual limitations on our ability to utilize NOL and tax credit carryovers. 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.

15

 
No tax benefit has been realized associated with the exercise of stock options for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, 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 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 March 31, 2010 and 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.

Stockholders’ Equity
 
The Company is authorized to issue 110,000,000 shares of common stock, $.001 par value per share.  As of March 31, 2010, there were 61,375,333 shares of common stock outstanding.  During the quarter ended March 31, 2010, no shares of common stock were issued.
 

7. 
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.

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.

16

 
The following table sets forth selected segment and consolidated operating results and other operating data for the periods indicated. Segment operating income consists of the revenues generated by a segment, less the direct costs of revenue and selling, general and administrative costs that are incurred directly by the segment. Unallocated corporate costs include costs related to administrative functions that are performed in a centralized manner that are not attributable to a particular segment.  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.

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 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. For additional information related to our three business segments and operational entities, see our Overview Section of Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations and our consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q.

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 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.

19

 
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 Mobile Telecom Managed Services 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 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.

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended March 31, 2010 as Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2009

Revenues, net.  Revenues for the three month period ended March 31, 2010, were approximately $11.2 million as compared to approximately $10.1 million for the three month period ended March 31, 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 made predominately by our federal agency customers.

§  
Our Mobile Telecom Managed Services (“MTEM”) segment experienced revenue growth of approximately 9% from approximately $6.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 to approximately $6.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2010.  The positive revenue performance primarily resulted from the execution of 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 Company’s 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.

§  
Our PKI credentialing and managed services segment experienced relatively flat revenue growth with revenues of approximately $1.4 million for the three month periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.  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 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.
 
20

 
§  
Our consulting services segment experienced revenue growth of approximately 19%.  Revenues increased from approximately $2.3 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2009 to $2.9 million for the three month period ended March 31, 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.
 
Cost of sales.  Cost of sales for the three month period ended March 31, 2010, was approximately $8.6 million (or 77% of revenues), as compared to cost of sales of approximately $8.1 million (or 80% of revenues), for the three month period ended March 31, 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 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 March 31, 2010 was approximately $2.6 million (or 23% of revenues), as compared to gross profit of approximately $2.0 million (or 20% of revenues), for the three month period ended March 31, 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 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 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 March 31, 2010, was approximately $343,000, (or 3% of revenues) as compared to approximately$229,000 (or 2% of revenues), for the three month period ended March 31, 2009.  The absolute dollar amount of sales and marketing expanded slightly 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 March 31, 2010, were approximately $1.8 million (or 16% of revenues), as compared to approximately $1.5 million (or 15% of revenues) recorded by the Company for the three month period ended March 31, 2009.  This increase in general and administrative expenses over those for the three months ended March 31, 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.  We anticipate that our general and administrative costs in absolute dollars 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 three month period ended March 31, 2010, was approximately $50,000 (or less than 1% of revenues), as compared to approximately $43,000 of such expenses (or less than 1% of revenues) recorded by the Company for the three month period ended March 31, 2009.  This increase in depreciation expense over those for the three month period ended March 31, 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 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 then raise our depreciation expenses.

21

 
Interest income.  Interest income for the three month period ended March 31, 2010, was approximately $7,000 (or less than 1% of revenues), as compared to approximately $14,000 (or less than 1% of revenues), for the three month period ended March 31, 2009.  This decrease in interest income for the three month period ended March 31, 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 three month period ended March 31, 2010, was approximately $27,000 (or less than 1% of revenues), as compared to approximately $80,000 (or less than 1% of revenues), for the three month period ended March 31, 2009.  This decrease in interest expense for the three month period ended March 31, 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 March 31, 2010 and March 31, 2009 each were approximately $39,000. The Company 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 March 31, 2010, was approximately $239,000 as compared to the net income of approximately $129,000 for the three months ended March 31, 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 March 31, 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 March 31, 2010, was approximately $2.3 million, as compared to cash provided by operating activities of $2.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009.  This decrease in cash generated and increase in cash used in from operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was primarily a result of a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses as a result of an acceleration of vendor payments during the first quarter of 2010.  Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2010, was approximately $395,000, as compared to $19,000 in cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2009.  The increase in net cash used in investing activities was primarily attributable to the asset acquisition of the government business assets of Vuance, Inc. by the Company. Net cash used in financing activities amounted to approximately $203,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2010, as compared to net cash used in financing activities of approximately $2.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2009. This decrease in net cash used in financing activities primarily related to the reduction of acquisition indebtedness during the first quarter ended March 31, 2010 as compared to the first quarter of March 31, 2009 in which we paid down the remaining amounts of the Sellers Note issued to Jin Kang, a related party of the Company and the former owner and current officer of iSYS, LLC, in connection with our acquisition of iSYS, LLC.   As a result of the Company’s 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.

22

 
As of March 31, 2010, the Company had a net working capital of approximately $3.7 million.  The Company’s primary source of liquidity consists of approximately $3.3 million in cash and cash equivalents and approximately $8.5 million of accounts receivable and unbilled accounts receivable.  Current liabilities include approximately $7.2 million in accounts payable and accrued expenses.   The reduction in current liabilities for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was predominately associated with the reduction of accounts payable and accrued liabilities as a result of the acceleration of vendor invoices during the first quarter of 2010.

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.
 
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.
 
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 has 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.

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.  

Other than as described above, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three-month period ended March 31, 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.
