WIDEPOINT CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
 
1. 
Organization and Nature of Operations
 
Organization
 
WidePoint Corporation (“WidePoint” or the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware on May 30, 1997 and conducts operations through its wholly-owned operating subsidiaries throughout the continental United States, Ireland, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom. The Company’s principal executive and administrative headquarters is located in Fairfax, Virginia.
 
Nature of Operations
 
The Company is a leading provider of trusted mobility management (TM2). The Company’s TM2 platform and service solutions enable its customers to efficiently secure, manage and analyze the entire lifecycle of their mobile communications assets through its federally compliant platform Intelligent Telecommunications Management System (ITMS™). The Company’s ITMS™ platform is SSAE 18 compliant and was granted an Authority to Operate by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. Additionally, the Company was granted an Authority to Operate by the General Services Administration with regard to its identity credentialing component of its TM2 platform. The Company’s TM2 platform is internally hosted and accessible on-demand through a secure customer portal that is specially configured for each customer. The Company can deliver these solutions in a number of configurations ranging from utilizing the platform as a service to a full-service solution that includes full lifecycle support for all end users and the organization.
 
The Company derives a significant amount of its revenues from contracts funded by federal government agencies for which WidePoint’s subsidiaries act in the capacity as the prime contractor, or as a subcontractor. The Company believes that contracts with federal government agencies will be the primary source of revenues for the foreseeable future. External factors outside of the Company’s control such as delays and/or a change in government administrations, budgets and other political matters that may impact the timing and commencement of such work and could result in variations in operating results and directly affect the Company’s financial performance. 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.
 
A significant portion of the Company’s expenses, such as personnel and facilities costs, are fixed in the short term and may be not be easily modified to manage through changes in the Company’s market place that may create pressure on pricing and/or costs to deliver its services.
 
The Company has periodic capital expense requirements to maintain and upgrade its internal technology infrastructure tied to its hosted solutions and other such costs may be significant when incurred in any given quarter.

Basis of Presentation and Accounting Policies
 
 
Basis of Presentation
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2019 and for each of the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. 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 financial statements for the interim periods presented. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2018 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, 2018. The results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2019 are not indicative of the operating results for the full year.

Principles of Consolidation
 
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly owned subsidiaries and acquired entities since their respective dates of acquisition. All significant inter-company amounts were eliminated in consolidation.
 
Foreign Currency
 
Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars based upon exchange rates prevailing at the end of each reporting period. The resulting translation adjustments, along with any related tax effects, are included in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income, a component of stockholders’ equity. Translation adjustments are reclassified to earnings upon the sale or substantial liquidation of investments in foreign operations. Revenues and expenses are translated at the average month-end exchange rates during the year. Gains and losses related to transactions in a currency other than the functional currency, including operations outside the U.S. where the functional currency is the U.S. dollar, are reported net in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations, depending on the nature of the activity.
 
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of condensed 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, ability to realize intangible assets and goodwill, ability to realize deferred income tax assets, fair value of certain financial instruments 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. There were no significant changes in accounting estimates used by management during the quarter.
 
Segment Reporting
 
Our TM2 solution offerings comprise an overall single business from which the Company earns revenues and incurs costs. The Company’s TM2 solution offerings are centrally managed and reported on that basis to its Chief Operating Decision Maker who evaluates its business as a single segment. See Note 14 for detailed information regarding the composition of revenues.
 
Significant Accounting Policies
 
There were no significant changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies during the first nine months of 2019 from those disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 filed with the SEC on March 22, 2019, except as further described below:
 
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
 
In February 2016, the FASB issued new accounting guidance on leases (ASC Topic 842). Effective January 1, 2019, the Company adopted an accounting standards update with new guidance intended to increase transparency and comparability among organizations relating to leases. The new guidance requires lessees to recognize a liability to make lease payments and a right-of-use asset representing the right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. The standards update retained a dual model for lease classification, requiring leases to be classified as finance or operating leases to determine recognition in the statements of operations and cash flows; however, substantially all leases are now required to be recognized on the balance sheet. The standards update also requires quantitative and qualitative disclosures regarding key information about leasing arrangements.
 
 
10
 
 
The Company elected the modified retrospective transition method and applied the new guidance at the date of adoption, without adjusting the comparative periods presented. The Company also elected the practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance that retain the lease classification and initial direct costs for any leases that existed prior to adoption of the standard. In addition, the Company did not reassess whether any contracts entered into prior to adoption are leases.
 
Upon adoption of the standard, the Company recorded approximately $6.1 million of right of use assets and finance lease-related liabilities, respectively. The adoption of this standards update had a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets and related disclosures. The adoption of this standards update did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or cash flows.
 
The cumulative effect of the changes made to our January 1, 2019 balance sheet for the adoption of the standards update was as follows:

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718); Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting. Effective January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU 2018-07. The new guidance simplifies the accounting for share-based payments made to nonemployees. Under this ASU, share-based awards to nonemployees will be measured at fair value on the grant date of the awards. Entities will need to assess the probability of satisfying performance conditions if any are present, and awards will continue to be classified according to ASC 718 upon vesting, which eliminates the need to reassess classification upon vesting, consistent with awards granted to employees. The Company has not historically issued a material amount of share-based payments to non-employees. There was no material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements upon adoption.
 
Accounting Standards under Evaluation
 
In January 2017, ASU No. 2017-04, “Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment” was issued. Under the amendments in this ASU, an entity should perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit's fair value; however, the loss should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The ASU also eliminated the requirements for any reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount to perform a qualitative assessment and, if it fails that qualitative test, to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. An entity should apply this ASU on a prospective basis and for its annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is continuing to evaluate the effect this guidance will have on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
 
3. 
Accounts Receivable and Significant Concentrations
 
A significant portion of the Company’s receivables are billed under firm fixed price contracts with agencies of the U.S. federal government and similar pricing structures with several corporations. Accounts receivable consist of the following by customer type in the table below as of the periods presented:

 $11,089,315 
 
(1) Government contracts are generally firm fixed price not to exceed arrangements with a term of five (5) years, which consists of a base year and four (4) annual option year renewals. Government receivables are billed under a single consolidated monthly invoice and are billed approximately thirty (30) to sixty (60) days in arrears from the date of service and payment is generally due within thirty (30) days of the invoice date. Government accounts receivable payments could be delayed due to administrative processing delays by the government agency, continuing budget resolutions that may delay availability of contract funding, and/or administrative only invoice correction requests by contracting officers that may delay payment processing by our government customer.
 
(2) Commercial contracts are generally fixed price arrangements with contract terms ranging from two (2) to three (3) years. Commercial accounts receivables are billed based on the underlying contract terms and conditions which generally have repayment terms that range from thirty (30) to ninety (90) days. Commercial receivables are stated at amounts due from customers net of an allowance for doubtful accounts if deemed necessary.
 
(3) For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company recorded a provision for bad debt of approximately $23,500 for bad debt. The Company has not historically maintained a bad debt reserve for its government customers as it has not experienced 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.

During the nine month period ended September 30, 2019 there were no material disposals of owned property and equipment. During the nine month period ended September 30, 2018 there were disposals of fully depreciated owned property and equipment with related cost and accumulated depreciation of approximately $129,000.
 
There were no changes in the estimated useful lives used to depreciate property and equipment during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018.
 
7.        
Leases
 
The Company entered into operating leases for corporate and operational facilities (“real estate leases”), computer hardware for datacenters and automobiles (collectively “all other leases”).
 
Real estate leases. Substantially all real estate leases have remaining terms of seven (7) to ten (10) years, with additional five (5) year extensions available. All of these leases require a fixed lease payment that contains an annual lease payment escalation provision ranging from 3% to 4% per year. Certain leases contain early termination provisions that would require payment of unamortized tenant improvements, real estate broker commissions paid, and up to six (6) months of rent to compensate the landlord for early termination. The cost to exit a lease would be significant and potentially range $0.2 million to $0.8 million. The earliest any lease termination provisions could be exercised would be in 2023.
 
All other leases. Non-real estate operating leases have remaining terms of two (2) to three (3) years. All of these leases require a fixed lease payment over the entire lease term with no escalation provision. There are no early termination provisions under such arrangements.

Line of Credit
 
On June 15, 2017, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with Atlantic Union Bank (formerly known as Access National Bank) (the “Loan Agreement”). The Loan Agreement provides for a $5.0 million working capital revolving line of credit. Effective April 30, 2018, the Company entered into a second modification agreement with Atlantic Union Bank that extended the maturity date of the facility through April 30, 2019, increased the interest rate to the Wall Street Journal prime rate plus 1.0%, and added an additional financial covenant requiring the Company to maintain consolidated minimum adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, plus share-based compensation, plus non-cash charges (EBITDA) (as defined in the second modification) of at least two times interest expense (excluding interest reported under recently adopted lease accounting standards) to be measured as of the last day of each quarterly period.
 
Effective, April 30, 2019, the Company entered into a fourth modification agreement (“Modification Agreement”) with Atlantic Union Bank to amend the existing Loan Agreement. The Modification Agreement extended the maturity date of the facility through April 30, 2020 and changed the variable interest rate to the Wall Street Journal prime rate plus 0.50%.
 
The Loan Agreement requires that the Company meet the following financial covenants on a quarterly basis: (i) maintain a minimum adjusted tangible net worth of at least $2.0 million, (ii) maintain minimum consolidated adjusted EBITDA of at least two times interest expense and (iii) maintain a current ratio of 1.10:1 (excluding finance lease liabilities reported under recently adopted lease accounting standards).
 
The available amount under the working capital line of credit is subject to a borrowing base, which is equal to the lesser of (i) $5.0 million or (ii) 70% of the net unpaid balance of the Company’s eligible accounts receivable. The facility is secured by a first lien security interest on all of the Company’s personal property, including its accounts receivable, general intangibles, inventory and equipment maintained in the United States. As of September 30, 2019, the Company was eligible to borrow up to $4.0 million under the borrowing base formula.
 
10. 
Income Taxes
 
The Company files U.S. federal income tax returns with the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) as well as income tax returns in various states and certain foreign countries. The Company may be subject to examination by the IRS or various state taxing jurisdictions for tax years 2003 and forward. The Company may be subject to examination by various foreign countries for tax years 2014 forward. As of September 30, 2019, the Company was not under examination by the IRS, any state or foreign tax jurisdiction. The Company did not have any unrecognized tax benefits at either September 30, 2019 or December 31, 2018. In the future if applicable, any interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions will be recognized in income tax expense.
 
As of September 30, 2019, the Company had approximately $38.5 million in net operating loss (NOL) carry forwards available to offset future taxable income for federal income tax purposes, net of the potential Section 382 limitations. These federal NOL carry forwards expire between 2020 and 2037. Included in the recorded deferred tax asset, the Company had a benefit of approximately $39.8 million available to offset future taxable income for state income tax purposes. These state NOL carry forwards expire between 2024 and 2036. Because of the change of ownership provisions of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, use of a portion of our domestic NOL may be limited in future periods. Further, a portion of the carryforwards may expire before being applied to reduce future income tax liabilities.

Management assesses the available positive and negative evidence to estimate if sufficient future taxable income will be generated to use the existing deferred tax assets. Under existing income tax accounting standards such objective evidence is more heavily weighted in comparison to other subjective evidence such as our projections for future growth, tax planning and other tax strategies. A significant piece of objective negative evidence considered in management’s evaluation of the realizability of its deferred tax assets was the existence of cumulative losses over the latest three-year period. Management forecast future taxable income, but concluded that there may not be enough of a recovery before the end of the fiscal year to overcome the negative objective evidence of three years of cumulative losses. On the basis of this evaluation, management recorded a valuation allowance against all deferred tax assets. If management’s assumptions change and we determine we will be able to realize these deferred tax assets, the tax benefits relating to any reversal of the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets will be accounted for as a reduction of income tax expense.

Preferred Stock
 
There were no issuances of preferred stock during the nine month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018.
 
Common Stock
 
The Company is authorized to issue 110,000,000 shares of common stock, $.001 par value per share. As of September 30, 2019, there were 84,775,186 shares issued and outstanding (including 507,500 restricted shares not vested). During the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2019, 183,334 shares and 405,240 shares, respectively, of common stock vested in accordance with the vesting terms of restricted stock awards (RSA).

Stock Award Programs
 
The Company’s stock incentive plan is administered by the Compensation Committee and authorizes the grant or award of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options (NQSO), restricted stock awards (RSA), stock appreciation rights, dividend equivalent rights, performance unit awards and phantom shares. The Company issues new shares of common stock upon the exercise of stock options. Any shares associated with options forfeited are added back to the number of shares that underlie stock options to be granted under the stock incentive plan. The Company has issued restricted stock awards and non-qualified stock option awards as described below.
 
Valuation of Stock Awards
 
Restricted Stock. The Company records the fair value of all restricted stock awards based on the grant date fair value and amortizes stock compensation on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. Restricted stock award shares are issued when granted and included in the total number of common shares issued and outstanding. During the nine month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company granted 662,740 RSAs and 980,851 RSAs, respectively.
 
Non-Qualified Stock Options. The Company estimates the fair value of nonqualified stock awards using a Black-Scholes Option Pricing model (“Black-Scholes model”). The fair value of each stock award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes model, which requires an assumption of dividend yield, risk free interest rates, volatility, forfeiture rates and expected option life. 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. Expected volatilities are based on the historical volatility of our common stock over the expected option term. The expected term of options granted is based on analyses of historical employee termination rates and option exercises. There were 25,000 of non-qualified stock option awards granted to a non-employee as compensation for investor relations services during the nine month period ended September 30, 2019.

During the nine month period ended September 30, 2019, there were non-qualified stock option (NQSO) grants of 25,000 granted to a non-employee as compensation for investor relations services. This stock award grant was valued using a Black-Scholes model that assumed a 1-year vesting period, 2-year option term, a risk free rate of 2.5%, volatility of 64.6%, no assumed dividend yield, and a forfeiture rate estimate of 1.2%. During the nine month period ended September 30, 2018, there were non-qualified stock option (NQSO) grants of 125,000, as further described below:
 
Employees. During the nine month period ended September 30, 2018, the Company granted 75,000 non-qualified stock options as part of an additional compensation to align a key employee with the Company’s long term financial goals. This stock award grant was valued using a Black-Scholes model that assumed a 3-year vesting period, 5-year option term, a risk free rate of 2.7%, volatility of 66.7%, no assumed dividend yield, and a forfeiture rate estimate of 4.8%.
 
Non-Employees. During the nine month period ended September 30, 2018, the Company granted 50,000 non-qualified stock options as payment for a portion of the annual retainer paid to its public investor relations firm. This stock award grant was valued using a Black-Scholes model that assumed a 1-year vesting period, 2-year option term, a risk free rate of 2.6%, volatility of 69.5%, no assumed dividend yield, and a forfeiture rate estimate of 10.3%.
 
(2)
During the nine month period ended September 30, 2019, there were 530,000 NQSOs that were cancelled, of which 80,001 were unvested, related to voluntary employee terminations.
 
(3)
The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised during the nine month period ended September 30, 2018 was approximately $5,500.
 
The weighted-average remaining contractual life of the non-qualified stock options outstanding, exercisable, and vested and expected to vest as of September 30, 2019 were 2.3 years, 1.9 years and 1.9 years, respectively.
 
There was no intrinsic value associated with options outstanding, exercisable and expected to vest as of September 30, 2019, as the stock price was below the lowest option exercise price. Aggregate intrinsic value represents total pretax intrinsic value (the difference between WidePoint’s closing stock price on September 30, 2019 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 September 30, 2019. The intrinsic value will change based on the fair market value of WidePoint’s stock.
 
Share-Based Compensation Expense

On October 7, 2019, the Company announced that its Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase plan (the “2019 Repurchase Plan”) to purchase up to $2.5 million of the Company’s common stock.
 
Any repurchases will be made in compliance with the SEC’s Rule 10b-18 if applicable, and may be made in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, including the entry into derivatives transactions.
 
The number of shares to be repurchased and the timing of repurchases will depend on a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, stock price, economic and market conditions and corporate and regulatory requirements.

Revenue Mix
 
Our revenue mix fluctuates due to customer driven factors including: i) timing of technology and accessory refresh requirements from our customers; ii) onboarding of new customers that require carrier services; iii) subsequent decreases in carrier services as we optimize their data and voice usage; iv) delays in delivering products or services; and v) changes in control or leadership of our customers that lengthens our sales cycle, changes in laws or funding, among other circumstances that may unexpectedly change the revenue earned and/or duration of our services. As a result, our revenue will vary by quarter.
 
For additional information related to our business operations, see the description of our business set forth in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 filed with the SEC on March 22, 2019. 
 
Strategic Focus and Goals
 
Our longer-term strategic focus and goals are driven by our need to expand our critical mass so that we have more flexibility to fund investments in technology solutions and introduce new sales and marketing initiatives in order to expand our marketplace share and increase the breadth of our offerings in order to improve company sustainability and growth.
 
During fiscal 2019, we have focused of our attention on the following key goals:
 
continued focus on selling high margin managed services,
growing our sales pipeline by investing in our business development and sales team assets,
pursuing additional opportunities with our key systems integrator partners,
improving our proprietary platform and products, which includes placing ITMS™ onto GovCloud and receive a FedRAMP certification,
working to successfully renew our existing U.S. Department of Homeland Security Blanket Purchase Agreement (DHS BPA), and
expanding our solution offerings into the commercial space.
 
Our next steps towards achieving our longer-term goals include:
 
pursuing accretive and strategic acquisitions to expand our solutions and our customer base,
delivering new incremental offerings to add to our existing TM2 offering,
developing and testing innovative new offerings that enhance our TM2 offering, and
transitioning our data center and support infrastructure into a more cost-effective and federally approved cloud environment to comply with perceived future contract requirements.
 
We believe these actions could drive a strategic repositioning of our TM2 offering and may include the sale of non-aligned offerings coupled with acquisitions of complementary and supplementary offerings that could result in a more focused core set of TM2 offerings.

Our carrier services increased due to a one time pilot project implementation of our U.S. Department of Commerce project supporting the 2020 Census. Additionally, the carrier services increased in lesser extent due to the implementation of the U.S. Coast Guard contract and the expansion of our Customs & Border Protection task order (CBP).
 
Our managed service fees increased due to expansion of managed services for existing government and commercial customers, as well as increases in sales of accessories to our government customers as compared to last year.
 
Billable service fee revenue increased as compared to last year due to ramp up of services delivered through our partnerships with large systems integrators as we complete a government project. We are focusing our subject matter experts on this higher margin billable service arrangements.
 
Reselling and other services decreased as compared to last year due to the fewer large product resales to agencies of the U.S. federal government. Reselling and other services are transactional in nature and as a result the amount and timing of revenue will vary significantly from quarter to quarter.
 
Cost of Revenues. Cost of revenues for the three month period ended September 30, 2019 was approximately $25.3 million (or 85% of revenues), as compared to approximately $17.6 million (or 83% of revenues) in 2018. The increase was driven by higher carrier services and inventory costs related to accessory sales as compared to last year. Our cost of revenues may fluctuate due to accessories sales activities which depends heavily on customer mobility equipment accessory requirements.
 
Gross Profit. Gross profit for the three month period ended September 30, 2019 was approximately $4.3 million (or 15% of revenues), as compared to approximately $3.7 million (or 17% of revenues) in 2018. The decrease in gross profit percentage was driven by the increase in carrier services and lower margin reselling during the quarter. Our gross profit percentage will vary from quarter to quarter and could be negatively impacted due to recognition of low margin reselling transactions and expansion of carrier services with our U.S. federal government customers.
 
Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expense for the three month period ended September 30, 2019 was approximately $0.4 million (or 1% of revenues), as compared to approximately $0.4 million (or 2% of revenues) in 2018. We continued to maintain our conservative deployment of sales and marketing assets during the current quarter which enabled us to keep our cost profile unchanged. We expect to invest in strategic hires of sales and marketing resources in an effort to build our commercial sales pipeline opportunities
 
General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses for the three month period ended September 30, 2019 were approximately $3.4 million (or 11% of revenues), as compared to approximately $3.2 million (or 15% of revenues) in 2018. The decrease (as a percentage of revenue) in general and administrative expense reflects the impact of our adoption of new lease accounting guidance which requires us to treat lease payments similar to term debt with recognition of interest expense and amortization expense. Excluding the impact of our adoption of this new lease accounting standing our general and administrative expense would have been $3.5 million (of 12% of revenues) for the current quarter.
 
Product Development. We incurred product development activities related to our next generation TDI Optimiser™ application during the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018. The Company capitalized product development costs of approximately $21,100 and $78,500 during the three month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The Company has a mature set of products and services that do not include significant ongoing development activities and as such there could be periods of time where our level of internal and external spending on product development may not be significant.

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense for the three month period ended September 30, 2019 was approximately $246,300 as compared to approximately $104,900 in 2018.  The increase in depreciation and amortization expense reflects the impact of our adoption of new lease accounting guidance which requires us to treat lease payments similar to term debt with recognition of interest expense and amortization expense. Excluding the impact of our adoption of this new lease accounting standard our depreciation and amortization expense would have been $108,300 for the current quarter, which represents an increase as compared to last year due to an increase in our depreciable asset base.  
 
Other (Expense) Income. Net other expense for the three month period ended September 30, 2019 was approximately $72,700, as compared to approximately $20,600 in 2018.  The increase in net expense substantially reflects higher interest expense as a result of the adoption of the new lease accounting standard during the current quarter and to a lesser extent interest expense associated with advances against our line of credit.
 
Income Taxes. Income tax expense for the three month period ended September 30, 2019 was approximately $32,400, as compared to $24,800 in 2018.  The increase in income tax expense reflects higher taxable foreign earnings in the Republic of Ireland and deferred tax expense related to the amortization of goodwill.
 
Net Income (Loss). As a result of the cumulative factors annotated above, net income for the three month period ended September 30, 2019 was approximately $183,700, as compared to a net loss of approximately $110,000 in the same period last year.  
 
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019 as Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018
 
        Revenues. Revenues for the nine month period ended September 30, 2019 were approximately $73.6 million, an increase of approximately $14.7 million, as compared to approximately $58.9 million in 2018. Our mix of revenues for the periods presented is set forth below:

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
We have, since inception, financed operations and capital expenditures through our operations, credit facilities and the sale of securities. Our immediate sources of liquidity include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, unbilled receivables and access to a working capital credit facility with Atlantic Union Bank for up to $5.0 million.
 
 
26
 
 
 
 
At September 30, 2019, our net working capital was approximately $4.9 million as compared to $3.7 million at December 31, 2018. The increase in net working capital was primarily driven by increases in revenue and temporary payable timing differences. We utilized our credit facility to manage short term cash flow requirements during the quarter. We may need to raise additional capital to fund major growth initiatives and/or acquisitions and there can be no assurance that additional capital will be available on acceptable terms or at all.
 
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
 
Cash provided by operating activities provides an indication of our ability to generate sufficient cash flow from our recurring business activities. We are actively renegotiating our contracts with customers to improve our cash flow by billing more than once a month, including tiered price increases and charging more for labor intensive services that were previously billed under firm fixed price contracts. Our single largest cash operating expense is the cost of labor and company sponsored healthcare benefit programs. Our second largest cash operating expense is our facility costs and related technology communication costs to support delivery of our services to our customers. We lease most of our facilities under non-cancellable long term contracts that may limit our ability to reduce fixed infrastructure costs in the short term. Any changes to our fixed labor and/or infrastructure costs may require a significant amount of time to take effect depending on the nature of the change made and cash payments to terminate any agreements that have not yet expired. We experience temporary collection timing differences from time to time due to customer invoice processing delays that are often beyond our control.
 
For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, net cash provided by operations was approximately $5.5 million driven by improved collections of accounts receivable and temporary payable timing differences.
 
For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, net cash used in operations was approximately $0.7 million driven by inventory purchases in September 2018 from international and specialty suppliers that required advance payment for large equipment and accessory orders. Billing for all equipment and accessory sales occurred when these products were delivered in the fourth quarter of 2018.
 
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
 
Cash used in investing activities provides an indication of our long term infrastructure investments. We maintain our own technology infrastructure and may need to make additional purchases of computer hardware, software and other fixed infrastructure assets to ensure our environment is properly maintained and can support our customer obligations. We typically fund purchases of long term infrastructure assets with available cash or capital lease financing agreements.
 
For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, cash used in investing activities was approximately $0.4 million and consisted of computer hardware and software purchases and capitalized internally developed software costs related to our TDI Optimiser™ solutions.
 
For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, cash used in investing activities was approximately $0.4 million and consisted of computer hardware and software purchases and capitalized internally developed software costs related to our TDI Optimiser™ solutions.
 
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
 
Cash used in financing activities provides an indication of our debt financing and proceeds from capital raise transactions and stock option exercises.
 
For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, cash used in financing activities was approximately $0.4 million and reflects line of credit advances and payments of approximately $6.3 million, and finance lease principal repayments of approximately $357,000.
 
For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, cash used in financing activities was approximately $0.2 million and reflects line of credit advances and payments of approximately $14.0 million, contingent consideration of approximately $100,000 paid related to our intellectual property acquisition of Probaris ID™ and capital lease principal repayments of approximately $75,700.
 
Net Effect of Exchange Rate on Cash and Equivalents
 
For the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, the gradual depreciation of the Euro relative to the US dollar decreased the translated value of our foreign cash balances by approximately $62,040 as compared to last year.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
