(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
and the U.S. Department of Commerce. 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 is one of two U.S. Department of
Defense (DoD) designated External Certificate Authorities and
offers ECA certificates, including digital certificates for
internet of things (IOT) and machine identity, PIV (Personal
Identity Verification) and PIV-I (Personal Identity Verification
Interoperability) for the Federal Government including all
contractors to the Federal Government. The Company’s Identity
Management division is FISMA moderate certified and is a Trusted
Root Certificate Authority offering certificates that are
cross-certified under the Federal Bridge. 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 also provides digital interactive billing and analytics to
both communications service providers (CSPs) and enterprises. Our
customized solutions give their end customers the ability to view
and analyze their bills online via our advanced self-serve user
portal 24/7. Our solutions are delivered in a hosted and secure
environment and provide our CSPs with full visibility into their
revenue model which drives a stronger customer experience and
reduces their operating costs and improves
profitability.
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 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
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.
COVID-19
The
coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic has created
significant macroeconomic uncertainty, volatility and disruption.
The assessment of how COVID-19 will impact our business is on-going
and encompasses all aspects of our business, including how COVID-19
will impact our customers, employees, subcontractors, business
partners and the capital markets. Although the Company did not
experience significant disruptions during the three months ended
March 31, 2021, we are unable to fully predict the impact the
COVID-19 pandemic will have on our future financial position,
results of operations, or cash flows.
Additionally, changes in
spending policies, budget priorities and funding levels are a key
factor influencing the purchasing levels of government customers.
With the current COVID-19 pandemic, future budget priorities and
funding levels for these customers may be adversely
affected.

Basis
of Presentation and Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of March
31, 2021 and for each of the three month periods ended March 31,
2021 and 2020, 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, 2020 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, 2020. The results of
operations for the three month period ended March 31, 2021 are not
necessarily 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.
Common Stock Reverse Split
On
October 23, 2020, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to
its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the
Secretary of Delaware to effect a one-for-ten reverse stock split
of the shares of the Company’s common stock, effective as of
5:00 pm Eastern Time on November 6, 2020. The Certificate of
Amendment also decreased the number of authorized shares of the
Company’s common stock from 110,000,000 to 30,000,000. All
share, restricted stock awards (“RSA”) and per share
information has been retroactively adjusted to reflect the reverse
stock split.
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 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.
9
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 13 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 three months of 2021 from
those disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2020 filed with the SEC on March
23, 2021.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In December 2019, the FASB issued Accounting
Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2019-12,
“Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for
Income Taxes” as part of its initiative to reduce complexity
in the accounting standards. The standard eliminates certain
exceptions related to the approach for intra-period tax allocation,
the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period
and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis
differences. The standard also clarifies and simplifies other
aspects of the accounting for income taxes. The standard is
effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal
years, beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company adopted
the standard on January 1, 2021 and it had no
material impact on the
Company’s condensed consolidated financial
statements.
Accounting Standards under Evaluation
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13,
“Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic
326): Measurement of Credit Losses
on Financial Instruments”
(“Topic 326”). Topic 326 amends guidance on reporting
credit losses for assets held at amortized cost basis and available
for sale debt securities. For assets held at amortized cost basis,
Topic 326 eliminates the probable initial recognition threshold in
current GAAP and, instead, requires an entity to reflect its
current estimate of all expected credit losses. The allowance for
credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the
amortized cost basis of the financial assets to present the net
amount expected to be collected. For available for sale debt
securities, credit losses should be measured in a manner similar to
current GAAP, however Topic 326 will require that credit losses be
presented as an allowance rather than as a write-down. This ASU
update affects entities holding financial assets and net investment
in leases that are not accounted for at fair value through net
income. This update is effective for the company for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within
those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact
of the pending adoption of this new standard on its consolidated
financial statements.

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:

(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
customers.
(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 three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company did not recognize any material provisions for bad
debt, write-offs or recoveries of existing provisions 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.

Unbilled
Accounts Receivable
Unbilled accounts
receivable represent revenues earned but not invoiced to the
customer at the balance sheet date due to either timing of invoice
processing or delays due to fixed contractual billing schedules. A
significant portion of our unbilled accounts receivable consist of
carrier services and hardware and software products delivered but
not invoiced at the end of the reporting period.

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, 2021, the Company entered into a sixth modification agreement
(“Modification Agreement”) with Atlantic Union Bank to
amend the existing Loan Agreement. The Modification Agreement
extended the maturity date of the facility from April 30, 2021
through June 15, 2022.
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 EBITDA of at least two times interest expense
and (iii) maintain a current ratio of 1.1 to 1.0 (excluding finance
lease liabilities reported under 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) 50% 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 March 31, 2021, the Company was
eligible to borrow up to $4.9 million under the borrowing base
formula.

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 March 31, 2021, 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 March
31, 2021 or December 31, 2020. In the future if applicable, any
interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions will be
recognized in income tax expense.
As of
March 31, 2021, the Company had approximately $36.1 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 2021 and 2036. Included in the recorded deferred tax
asset, the Company had a benefit of approximately $36.0 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. During 2020,
in part because the Company achieved three years of cumulative
pretax income in the U.S. federal tax jurisdiction, management
determined that there was sufficient positive evidence to conclude
that it was more likely than not that deferred tax assets were
realizable. It therefore reduced the valuation allowance
accordingly and the Company released $8.2 million of the deferred
tax asset valuation allowance during the fourth quarter of 2020 to
offset the regular tax expense generated by its earnings in 2020.
There were no changes to the valuation allowance as March 31, 2021.
In the future, changes in the Company’s valuation allowance
may result from, among other things, additional pretax operating
losses resulting in increases in its valuation allowance or pretax
operating income resulting in decreases in its valuation
allowance.

Stockholders’
Equity
Common Stock
The Company is authorized to
issue 30,000,000 shares of common stock, $.001 par value per share.
As of March 31, 2021, there were 9,071,352 shares issued and
outstanding. During the three month
period ended March 31, 2021, there were 104,176 shares of common stock vested in
accordance with the vesting terms of the RSAs. Two employees
received less than the shares vested because they elected to have a
total of 12,526 shares withheld in satisfaction of each of the
employees corresponding tax liability of approximately $140,900.
The Company’s payment of this tax liability was recorded as a
cash flow from financing activity on the consolidated statement of
cash flows.
During
the three month period ended March 31, 2020, there were 83,331
shares of common stock vested in accordance with the vesting terms
of RSAs.
Shares
of common stock issued as a result of stock option exercises and
realized gross proceeds for the three month period ended March 31,
2021, were 2,500 and $10,250, respectively. There were no stock
option exercises during the three month period ended March 31,
2020.
At The Market Offering Agreement
On
August 18, 2020, the Company entered into an
At-The-Market Issuance Sales Agreement (the “Sales
Agreement”) with B. Riley Securities, Inc. (“B. Riley
FBR”), The Benchmark Company, LLC (“Benchmark”)
and Spartan Capital Securities, LLC (“Spartan”, and
together with B. Riley FBR and Benchmark, the “Sales
Agents”) which establishes an at-the-market equity
program pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell shares of
common stock, par value $0.001 per share, from time to time as set
forth in the Sales Agreement. The Sales
Agreement provides for the sale of shares of the
Company’s common stock (“Shares”) having an
aggregate offering price of up to $24,000,000.
The
Sales Agreement will terminate upon the earlier of
sale of all of the Shares under the Sales
Agreement or termination of the Sales Agreement as
permitted.
The
Company has no obligation to sell any of the Shares,
and, at any time, we may suspend offers
under the Sales Agreement or
terminate the Sales Agreement. During the three month
period ended March 31, 2021, the Company sold 100,687 shares for
gross proceeds of $1.1 million. During the three month period ended
March 31, 2021, the Company incurred $45,400 of offering
costs.

The
Company’s stock incentive plan is administered by the
Compensation Committee and authorizes the grant or award of
incentive stock options, nonqualified 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.
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 vested and included in the total number of
common shares issued and outstanding. During the three month
periods ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company granted 50,261
RSAs and 89,175 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 no non-qualified
stock option awards granted during the three month periods ended
March 31, 2021 and 2020.
At
March 31, 2021, the Company had approximately $791,265 of total
unrecognized share-based compensation expense, net of estimated
forfeitures, related to share-based compensation that will be
recognized over the weighted average remaining period of 1.1
year.

Business Overview
We are
a leading provider of Trusted Mobility Management (TM2) that
consists of federally certified communications management, identity
management, and interactive bill presentment and analytics
solutions. We help our clients achieve their organizational
missions for mobility management and security objectives in this
challenging and complex business environment.
We
offer our TM2 solutions through a flexible managed services model
which includes both a scalable and comprehensive set of functional
capabilities that can be used by any customer to meet the most
common functional, technical and security requirements for mobility
management. Our TM2 solutions were designed and implemented with
flexibility in mind such that it can accommodate a large variety of
customer requirements through simple configuration settings rather
than through costly software development. The flexibility of our
TM2 solutions enables our customers to be able to quickly expand or
contract their mobility management requirements. Our TM2 solutions
are hosted and accessible on-demand through a secure federal
government certified proprietary portal that provides our customers
with the ability to manage, analyze and protect their valuable
communications assets, and deploy identity management solutions
that provide secured virtual and physical access to restricted
environments.
20
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, 2020 filed with
the SEC on March 23, 2021.
Strategic Focus and Notable Events
We
believe that demand for our TM2 solutions will continue to grow as
public and private sectors seek to address the additional
requirements for supporting a mobile workforce. We also believe
that the current COVID-19 pandemic and the post pandemic
environment will increase the need for WidePoint’s services
as our customers and potential customers seek to manage, secure and
gain visibility into their mobility assets as a result of a larger
number of employees working remotely. 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.
In fiscal 2021, we
will continue to focus on the following key goals:
■
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 and strategic
partners ,
■
improving our
proprietary platform and products, which includes pursuing FedRAMP
certification for ITMS™ and maintaining our ATOs with our
federal government agencies, as well as upgrading our secure
identity management technology,
■
working to
successfully deliver and expand the scope of work under the newly
awarded DHS CWMS 2.0 IDIQ, and
■
expanding our
solution offerings into the commercial space.
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 to expand our marketplace share and increase
the breadth of our offerings in order to improve company
sustainability and growth. Our strategy for 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 decreased as compared to last year primarily
as a result of the expected winding down of the U.S. Department of
Commerce contract supporting the 2020 Census and to a lesser extent
as a result of the carrier credits and lower revenue from the U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP), partially offset by higher
revenue from the U.S. Coast Guard. We continue to expect managed
services revenue to be lower in 2021 than 2020 as a result of the
winding down of the 2020 Census project.
Our
managed service fees increased as compared to last year due to
expansion of managed services to existing and new customers and
higher accessories sale.
Billable service
fee revenue decreased as compared to last year due to winding of
professional services supporting the 2020 Census project, partially
offset by additional services to U.S. Department of Homeland
Security Headquarters and U.S. Coast Guard
Reselling and other
services decreased as compared to last year due to timing of large
product resales. Reselling and other services are transactional in
nature and as a result the amount and timing of revenue varies
significantly from quarter to quarter.
Cost of Revenues. Cost of revenues for
the three month period ended March 31, 2021 were approximately
$15,9 million (or 77% of revenues), as compared to approximately
$34.7 million (or 87% of revenues) in 2020. The decrease was driven
by lower carrier services and pass through carrier
credit.
Gross Profit. Gross profit for the three
month period ended March 31, 2021 was approximately $4.7 million
(or 23% of revenues), as compared to approximately $4.9 million (or
13% of revenues) in 2020. The increase in gross profit percentage
was driven by the increase in higher margin managed services
revenue. Our gross profit percentage varies from quarter to quarter
due to revenue mix between carrier services and managed services
revenue.
22
Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing
expense for the three month period ended March 31, 2021 was
approximately $0.5 million (or 2% of revenues), as compared to
approximately $0.5 million (or 1% of revenues) in
2020.
General and Administrative. General and
administrative expenses for the three month period ended March 31,
2021 were approximately $3.3 million (or 16% of revenues), as
compared to approximately $3.5 million (or 9% of revenues) in 2020.
The
dollar decrease in general and administrative
expense is due to lower payroll costs and stock-based compensation
expense, partially offset by increased data center
costs.
Depreciation and Amortization.
Depreciation and amortization expense for the three month period
ended March 31, 2021 was approximately $250,900 as compared to
approximately $263,200 in 2020. The increase in
depreciation and amortization expense reflects the increase in our
depreciable asset base.
Other (Expense) Income. Net other
expense for the three month period ended March 31, 2021 was
approximately $66,100 as compared to approximately an expense of
$78,700 in 2020. The decrease in net expense is a result
of lower interest expense related to less borrowings on the line of
credit and lease liability compared to prior year.
Income Taxes. Income tax expense for the
three month period ended March 31, 2021 was approximately $23,500,
as compared to $177,200 in 2020. Income
taxes were accrued at an estimated effective tax rate
of 27.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2021
compared
to 26.8% for
the three
months ended March 31, 2020. We recognized $170,000 of tax benefit
due to permanent tax difference in the period ended March 31,
2021.
Net Income. As a result of the cumulative
factors annotated above, net income for the three month period
ended March 31, 2021 was approximately $585,400, as compared to net
income of approximately $483,888 in the same period last
year.
23
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. In addition, we have access to an
at-the-market (ATM) equity sales program (described below) that
permits us to sell, from time to time, up to $24.0 million of our
common stock through the sales agents under the program. There is
no assurance that, if needed, we will be able to raise capital on
favorable terms or at all.
At
March 31, 2021, our net working capital was approximately $14.5
million as compared to $13.0 million at December 31, 2020.
The increase in net working capital
was primarily driven by proceeds from issuance of common stock
through the ATM sales program, and temporary payable timing
differences. 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.
ATM Sales Program
On
August 18, 2020, we entered into an At-The-Market Issuance Sales
Agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) with B. Riley
Securities, Inc., The Benchmark Company, LLC and Spartan Capital
Securities, LLC which establishes an ATM equity program pursuant to
which we may offer and sell up to $24.0 million of shares of our
common stock, par value $0.001 per share, from time to time as set
forth in the Sales Agreement. We have no obligation to sell any of
the Shares, and, at any time, we may suspend offers under the Sales
Agreement or terminate the Sales Agreement. We sold 100,687 Shares
during the three months ended March 31, 2021 for net proceeds of
$1.1 million under the ATM program and had remaining capacity of
$18.6 million as of March 31, 2021.
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. 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
three months ended March 31, 2021, net cash provided by operations
was approximately $1.0 million driven by collections of accounts receivable and temporary
payable timing differences, as compared to approximately $3.0 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2020.
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
three months ended March 31, 2021, cash used in investing
activities was approximately $641,200 and consisted of computer
hardware and software purchases and capitalized internally
developed software costs, primarily associated with upgrading our
ITMS™ platform,
secure identity management technology and network operations
center.
24
For the
three months ended March 31, 2020, cash used in investing activities was
approximately $393,000 and consisted of computer hardware
and software purchases and capitalized internally developed
software costs, primarily associated with upgrading our
ITMS™ platform,
secure identity management technology and network operations
center.
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
three months ended March 31, 2021, cash provided by financing
activities was approximately $813,800 and reflects proceeds from
issuance of common stock through ATM sales of $1.1 million, net of
issuance costs, proceeds of approximately $10,250 from the exercise
of stock options, offset by lease principal repayments of
approximately $144,000 and withholding taxes paid on behalf of
employees on net settled restricted stock awards of approximately
$140,900.
For the
three months ended March 31, 2020, cash used in financing activities was
approximately $153,800 and reflects line of
credit advances and payments of approximately $1.8 million, and
finance lease principal repayments of approximately
$143,600.
Net Effect of Exchange Rate on Cash and Equivalents
For the
three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, the gradual
depreciation of the Euro relative to the US dollar decreased the
translated value of our foreign cash balances by approximately
$65,900 as compared to last year.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The
Company has no existing off-balance sheet arrangements as defined
under SEC regulations.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE
DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Not
required.
25
Evaluation of
Disclosure Controls and Procedures Under the supervision and with
the participation of our management, including our chief executive
officer and chief financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of
our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined
under Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). Based on
this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial
officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were
effective as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly
report on Form 10-Q to ensure information required to be disclosed
in the reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is
recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time
period specified in the SEC's rules and forms. These disclosure
controls and procedures include controls and procedures designed to
ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the
reports we file or submit is accumulated and communicated to
management, including our chief executive officer and chief
financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions
regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There
were no changes in the Company’s internal control over
financial reporting during the three month period ended March 31,
2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to
materially affect, the Company’s internal control over
financial reporting.
PART II – OTHER

ITEM 2 UNREGISTERED
SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
Stock Repurchase Plan
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. During the three months ended March
