April 30, 2009
Dear Stockholder:
During 2008, your Company realized a
number of important strategic objectives, and positioned itself for meaningful future
growth and profitability.
In summary, from a financial
standpoint, WidePoints 2008 Revenues exceeded $35 Million, an increase of over 150%
versus the prior year. We experienced a full year Operating Loss of $0.7 Million, of which
$1.6 Million constituted non-cash items. Importantly, our fourth quarter featured the
strongest performance period during the calendar year, with Revenues in excess of $10
Million.
At our most recent Quarterly Investor
Call, we referred to the difficult financial and economic times that we all were
experiencing throughout the nation, but advised you that WidePoint was financially solid,
and well-positioned as a provider of products and services to the government market
sector.
Although we did not forecast nor
anticipate the serious and continuing economic decline that has occurred since the
beginning of the fourth quarter of 2008, I was pleased to be able to report that the
Company nevertheless experienced a robust fourth quarter, with strong revenue growth and
the achievement of bottom line profitability. In addition, we believe that this
performance, with appropriately cautious optimism, is a trend that will continue for 2009
and beyond.
From a strategic perspective,
WidePoint successfully concluded the acquisitions of iSYS, LLC, and Protexx, Incorporated.
Both acquisitions complemented our existing capabilities to our target markets, while
opening market expansion opportunities for us as well. Each of our now-enhanced business
segments participated in our Revenue growth throughout 2008. In addition, we have enhanced
our marketing and sales capabilities and resources, focused on expense management and cash
flows, and strengthened our capital base through private equity financings resulting in
net proceeds to the Company of approximately $4 Million.
As we look forward to 2009 and
beyond, we see the opportunity for enhanced organic growth for the Company, supplemented
by additional strategic initiatives, that should deliver increased market capitalization,
and incremental value to our stockholders.
Sincerely,
/s/ Steve L. Komar

Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer

Overview
WidePoint Corporation (WidePoint or the Company) is a technology-based provider of product and
services to both the government sector and commercial markets. WidePoint was incorporated in
Delaware on May 30, 1997. We have grown through the merger of highly specialized regional IT
consulting companies. Since the first merger in 1998, all the WidePoint companies are united by a
common set of corporate values.
|
|
|
The belief in 100% customer satisfaction. |
|
|
|
|
An innovative and entrepreneurial approach to business problems. |
|
|
|
|
A reputation for being an employee-centric organization where the concern for, and
appreciation of, its highly skilled and competent staff encourages both personal and
professional growth. |
2
Our expertise lies in three business segments. These segments offer unique solutions in identity
management services utilizing certificate-based security solutions; wireless telecommunication
expense management systems; and other associated information technology (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, see Note 9 of our consolidated
financial statements in this Form 10-K.
WidePoint has three material operational entities, Operational Research Consultants, Inc. (ORC);
iSYS, LLC (iSYS), which we acquired in January 2008; and WidePoint IL, Inc., operated together with
Protexx Acquisition Corporation doing business as Protexx, which we acquired in July 2008.
ORC specializes in IT integration and secure authentication processes and software, and
providing services to the U.S. Government. ORC has been at the forefront of implementing
Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) technologies. PKI technology uses a class of algorithms in
which a user can receive two electronic keys, consisting of a public key and a private key,
to encrypt any information and/or communication being transmitted to or from the user within
a computer network and between different computer networks. PKI technology is rapidly
becoming the technology of choice to enable security services within and between different
computer systems utilized by various agencies and departments of the U.S. Government.
iSYS specializes in mobile telecommunications expense management services, forensic
informatics, and information assurance services, predominantly to various agencies and
departments of the U.S. Government.
Protexx, which was in the development stage when we acquired it, specializes in
identity assurance, and mobile and wireless data protection products and services.
By delivering advanced, federally certified and other customized technologies, the Company enables
organizations to deploy fully compliant IT services in accordance with government-requirements and
the demands of the commercial marketplace.
We are led by an experienced management team and our competencies are aligned with evolving
security and economic priorities. Our proven experience, top secret security clearances, contract
vehicles and fluency across many technologies puts us in an elite group of advanced solution
providers serving a wide array of customers needs.
Our staff consists of business process and computer specialists who help our government and
civilian customers augment and expand their resident technologic skills and competencies, drive
technical innovation, and help develop and maintain a competitive edge in todays rapidly changing
technological environment. 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
Companys revenues in 2008 increased by approximately 151% from approximately $14.1 million in
2007 to approximately $35.4 million in 2008. The increase in revenues in 2008
compared to 2007 was primarily the result of our acquisition of iSYS and the addition of the iSYS
wireless telecommunication expense management systems segment. While we anticipate revenue gains
for our 2009 calendar year at each of our three business segments, the realization of those gains
may be subject to timing delays in project implementation phases that may be outside the control of
the Company, and there can be no assurance that our revenues will increase in 2009.
Business Services
Identity Management
We believe a trusted digital identity is critical in todays information age. WidePoint has
operational experience in all facets of identity proofing, credential issuing and public key
technology. In government as in business, knowing whom youre dealing with is essential when using
any form of electronic communications. Businesses need identity assurance for commercial
enterprises such as e-Commerce, online banking and trading, Internet-based enterprise solutions for
process automation, or digital form signing.
Widepoint understands and has delivered compliant identity management solutions critical to our
customers success. The Company believes that, through its ORC and Protexx subsidiaries, it is
positioned at the forefront of implementing Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) solutions. With
WidePoint, our clients get the strength and experience of a premier organization in the Information
Assurance industry. We believe we implement a system thats right the first time and ready to
support our clients through the lifecycle of identity management solutions.
WidePoint also provides an analysis of an organizations business and technical policies across
application and data resources for the implementation of various devices such as smart cards,
security tokens, cell phones and personal computers, and efficiently implementing these
capabilities by incorporating higher levels of automated infrastructure. Our implementation
enables an organization to quickly deploy a fully operational capability, providing the highest
levels of identification and authorization of users and devices, securing of sensitive data,
time-stamping and archiving of data, and an auditable process flow. Further, our credentials used
to accomplish all of these requirements are interoperable with any other U.S. federal agency or
organization choosing to accept U.S. federally-compliant credentials.
WidePoints wholly-owned subsidiary, Operational Research Consultants (ORC) is certified by the
Federal Government to facilitate public access to the services offered by Government agencies
through the use of information technologies, including on-line access to computers for purposes of
reviewing, retrieving, providing, and exchanging information. Our Digital Certificate Credentials
are authorized to provide trusted individual or business identity information for use by the
Department of Defense (DoD), FirstGov and participating U.S. Government agencies. These
Credentials can be used to:
|
|
|
Authenticate to government and organization websites containing Sensitive But
Unclassified (SBU) information. |
|
|
|
|
Contract for the purchase of goods or services. |
|
|
|
|
Verify the identity of electronic mail correspondents. |

|
|
|
Verify the identity of web/ application servers. |
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
Verify the integrity of software and documents posted on data servers. |
Our Digital Certificate Credential services include the Department of Defense External Certificate
Authority (DoD ECA), Access Certificates for Electronic Services (ACES), and the GSA Shared Service
Provider (SSP).
Wireless Telecommunications Expense Management Services (TEMS)
Widepoint, through our wholly-owned subsidiary iSYS, utilizes our extensive experience working with
government and commercial enterprises to develop well-managed solutions that take the pain out of
managing wireless telecom expenses and devices. We work with carriers to build a complement of
services that work in our clients interest. A key to our success is providing a single source
from which to manage the wireless assets of our clients. We establish a standard process that
focuses on the goals of the entire organization rather than counter-productive individual desires
that often occur with personal communication devices. Our approach allows our clients to take an
overall look at their communication network and identify issues that affect mission requirements,
cost to the organization, and employee performance. We provide a variety of reports that provide
data for periodic reviews and strategic decision-making. We find that our mobile services
generally save our clients 30% to 65% of their current wireless costs.
At the core of our approach is a comprehensive database of all of our clients telecom assets. Our
web-based portal allows our clients to view where their assets are located throughout their
organization. By understanding the types of devices that are deployed and how they are used, our
clients can effectively manage their current inventory and control new procurements. We also take
advantage of bulk savings for our clients by utilizing all available voice, data, and message plans
offered by the carriers, so our clients only pay for the services they utilize. We also secure our
clients valuable telecom assets. We believe that Telecom resources are extremely valuable assets
to our clients organizations valuable both in terms of equipment and information capture. With
a strong record of working with some of the most sensitive government and corporate clients, we
build solutions that ensure the privacy of both corporate and personal information. Our
centralized approach helps to prevent security breaches and ensure that information resides within
our clients organization instead of within individual user populations.

Business Growth Strategy
Our objective is to grow our business profitably as a premier technology-based provider of product
and services to both the government sector and commercial markets with a current emphasis placed on
growing our government sector in two managed services segments: Identity Management, and Wireless
Telecommunications Expense Management Services. Our strategies for achieving this objective
include the following:
|
|
|
Expanding our Customer Base. |
Since inception, and with each of the companies we have acquired, we have focused on providing
information technology-based solutions and services to our customers. We have several long
standing customer relationships. We intend to capitalize on our long-term relationships with our
customers and our reputation within the Department of Defense and other government agencies and
corporate clients, to attract new customers and to cross-sell our array of solutions to our
existing customers. Under the best value contracting process that has resulted from reforms in
the government procurement process, past performance and technical approach are key factors that
the government may consider when evaluating competitive bids. Based on our long-term support to
many of our customers, we believe we have a successful past performance track record and have
demonstrated technical expertise that gives us credibility with
these customers and enhances our ability to be successful in bidding on follow-on contracts and
in
competing for new programs of both existing and new customers. Because many of our personnel are
on-site with our customers or work in close proximity to our customers, we develop close
relationships with them and are often able to enhance our customers operations by rapidly
identifying and developing solutions for customer-specific requirements.

|
|
|
Targeting High Growth Segments of the Market |
We believe the projected growth in government information technology spending and outsourcing of
key components of their processes, such as identity management services and mobile telecom expense
management services, will offer opportunities for the management and delivery of advanced
technology solutions for enterprise applications and information systems. We intend to continue to
target and expand our service offerings in high growth program areas. In particular, we intend to
focus on developing or providing new or improved solutions in cyber security/information assurance,
including cyber security and homeland defense programs, and other identity management and
infrastructure solutions for secured system environments. We also plan to continue to target
customers seeking to improve their information technology infrastructures and systems, especially
those charged with building and operating enhanced web-based collaboration/sharing platforms.
|
|
|
Preparing our Infrastructure for Growth |
We continue to place emphasis upon developing our operational competencies and disciplines, and our
sales/marketing and financial infrastructure, to allow us to both support and expand our growth
opportunities. We believe it is important to strengthen the underlying infrastructure so we can
develop new marketing channels, develop new and continuing customers, identify new market
opportunities, and support the general and administrative requirement attributable to our growth
strategies.
|
|
|
Attracting, Training and Retaining Highly Skilled Professionals |
We continue to attract, train and retain skilled professionals, including engineers, scientists,
analysts, technicians and support specialists, to ensure that we have the capabilities to fulfill
our customers requirements. We target candidates who have served in the military or as civilian
experts, as well as those who are leading specialists in their technology disciplines. We believe
we can continue to retain our employees by offering competitive compensation and benefit plans,
opportunities for career growth through company-supported education programs and diverse,
challenging assignments.
|
|
|
Pursuing Strategic Acquisitions |
We plan to enhance our internal growth by selectively pursuing strategic acquisitions of businesses
that can cost-effectively broaden our domain expertise and service offerings and allow us to
establish relationships with new customers. We are focused primarily on acquiring businesses that
provide value-added solutions for our present service offerings and customer base, but we will also
consider opportunities to acquire other businesses where we can leverage our reputation, core
competencies and experienced management team.

2008 Acquisitions
iSYS, LLC. In January 2008, we completed the acquisition iSYS, LLC. The iSYS acquisition expanded
our U.S. federal customer base and our information assurance offerings while adding forensic
informatics, information assurance, and mobile telecom managed services to our product and service
offerings. iSYS was formed in, with operations in the greater Washington, D.C. area and Columbus,
Ohio. iSYS provides services predominantly to the U.S. federal government and has recently expanded
its operations into local and state jurisdictions and to commercial enterprises. We believe that
the introduction of our capabilities in providing credentialing services to the iSYS client base
may provide an attractive cross-selling opportunity consistent with our product portfolio strategy.
Protexx, Inc. In July 2008, we completed the purchase of the assets and intellectual property of
Protexx, Inc. Protexx was a development stage provider of software-based authentication and
encryption solutions to government, military, first responder and commercial enterprises. We
believe that the acquisition of Protexx should allow us to cost effectively expand our capabilities
within our identity management segment, expanding our customer base beyond the federal marketplace
and providing a less expensive alternative to our existing, government certified public key
infrastructure managed service offerings.
Clients
Our government client base is located predominantly in the Mid-Atlantic region of the U.S. while
our commercial client base is located throughout the continental U.S. We have experience and
expertise in the following industries: U.S. federal government agencies and associated contractor
suppliers, manufacturing firms, consumer product goods firms, direct marketing firms, healthcare
firms and financial services firms. Our clients are, for the most part, large governmental
agencies, federal government contractors or large commercial enterprises. Historically, we have
derived, and may continue to derive in the future, a significant percentage of our total revenues
from a relatively small number of clients.
During 2008, three customers, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), the U.S.
Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and the Washington Headquarters Services (WHS), an
agency of the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) that provides services for many DoD agencies and
organizations, individually represented 26%, 20%, and 14% of revenues, respectively, and we
therefore are materially dependent upon such customers. During 2007, no customer individually
represented at least 10% of revenues. 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, including the above customers, would have a material adverse effect on
results.
9
Marketing and Sales
We focus sales and marketing efforts on targeting federal government and corporate clients with
significant and or critical mobile telecom expense management budgets and requirements, U.S.
federal agencies and large corporate
user groups requiring identity management compliant solutions
for logical and physical access to federal installations and systems, and large corporate users
with significant IT budgets and requirements. While we perform work for companies in various
industries, the majority of our revenues for 2008 and 2007 were derived from contracts and projects
with U.S. federal government agencies, U.S. federal government contractors, manufacturing clients,
consumer products clients, healthcare clients, and financial services clients. Prospectively, we
expect a majority of our revenue to be derived from contracts with the federal government and
related contracting opportunities.
We market our solutions through our direct sales force, and alliances with several strategic
partnerships in specific industries. The direct sales force is responsible for providing highly
responsive, quality service and ensuring client satisfaction with our services. Strategic
partnerships and alliances provide us with additional access to potential clients.
Government Contracts
We have numerous Government contracts and contract vehicles. Our major prime contracts are with
various departments of the Department of Defense (DoD), the Transportation Security
Administration (TSA), the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the Centers for Disease
Control (CDC), and Customs and Border Protection (CBP). We also hold a number of large
indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contracts that extend WidePoints capability to
expand its revenue base, including, but not limited to:
|
|
|
The General Services Administration (GSA) contracts for the Federal Strategic Sourcing
Initiative (FSSI) for Telecommunications Expense Management (TEM), Federal Supply Schedule
for Management, Organizational and Business Improvement Services (MOBIS), the Federal
Supply Schedule for Professional Engineering Services (PES), the Solutions and More
(SAM), Streamlined Technology Acquisition Resources for Services (STARS), and the
Information Technology (IT) Schedule 70. |
|
|
|
|
The Department of Justice
(DOJ) Information Technology Support Services (ITSS) 3
contract, |
|
|
|
|
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Technical Support and Development Contract
(TSDP), |
|
|
|
|
The SeaPort-e Contract to provide engineering, technical, and programmatic support
services to the Naval Surface Warfare Centers (NSWC) and the Naval Undersea Warfare Centers
(NUWC). |
We also have various relationships with other contractors that allow us to act as a subcontractor,
thereby providing us access to various other contracts and contract vehicles in biometrics and
identity management infrastructure support, and Information Technology Support Services.
10
Our contracts with the U.S. Government, and many contracts with other entities, permit the
government client to modify, curtail or terminate the contract at any time for the convenience of
the government, or for default by the contractor. If a contract is terminated for convenience, we
are generally reimbursed for our allowable costs through the date of termination and are paid a
proportionate amount of the stipulated profit or fee attributable to the work actually performed.
Although contract and program modifications, curtailments or terminations have not had a material
adverse effect on us in the past, no assurance can be given that such modifications, curtailments
or terminations will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of
operations in the future.
In addition, the U.S. Government and other government entities may terminate a contract for
default. If a contract is terminated for default, we may be unable to recover amounts billed or
billable under the contract and may be liable for other costs and damages. Although terminations
for default have not occurred to us in the past, and thus have not had a material adverse effect on
us historically, no assurance can be given that such terminations will not have an effect on our
financial condition or results of operations in the future.
Seasonality
Our business is not seasonal. However, it is not uncommon for federal government agencies to award
extra tasks or complete other contract actions in the weeks before the end of the federal
governments fiscal year (which is September 30) in order to avoid the loss of unexpended fiscal
year funds. Additionally, in years when the federal government does not complete its budget process
before the end of its fiscal year, government operations typically are funded pursuant to a
continuing resolution that authorizes agencies of the federal government to continue to operate,
but traditionally does not authorize new spending initiatives. When much of the federal government
operates under a continuing resolution, delays can occur in procurement of products and services,
and such delays can affect our revenue and profit during that period.
Competition
The competitive profile for the services we provide vary for each of our three segments.
Our key competitors in our identity management space currently include a variety of both large and
small companies, including divisions of large federal government integrators such as Lockheed
Martin Corporation, Northrop Grumman Corporation, and other large and mid-sized federal
contractors, as well as a limited number of small to mid-sized subject matter expert organizations
offering specialized capabilities within the identity management space. The same companies that
are our competitors will, at times, team with us or subcontract to us in the pursuit of new
business. We believe that the major competitive factors in this segment are distinctive technical
competencies, governmental approvals to operate within this space, successful past contract
performance, price of services, reputation for quality, and key
management personnel with domain
expertise.
Our key competitors in our mobile telecommunications expense management segment within the U.S.
federal marketplace currently include: Avalon Technologies, Profitline (working through Booz Allen
& Hamilton), Tango, and Rivermine. We believe that the major competitive factors in the federal
marketplace are distinctive technical competencies, successful past contract performance, price of
services, reputation for quality and key management personnel with domain expertise. Our key
competitors in the commercial marketplace are currently represented by a large number of
small-sized participants and the marketplace is presently fragmented. The key
competitive factors in the commercial marketplace are the same as in the federal marketplace with
an added focus on cost-effective pricing of services.
11
Our key competitors in our consulting services segment include divisions of large defense
contractors such as Lockheed Martin Corporation, Northrop Grumman Corporation, EDS, Unisys, Science
Applications International Corporation, and Manpower, as well as a number of small and mid-size
companies. Because of the diverse requirements of U.S. government customers and large corporate
customers and the highly competitive nature of large procurements, corporations frequently form
alliances or teams to pursue contract opportunities. The same companies listed as competitors
will, at another point in time, team with us or subcontract to us in the pursuit of new business.
Our consulting services segment is highly competitive in both the U.S. federal government as well
as in the commercial marketplace.
Intellectual Property
Our intellectual property primarily consists of methodologies developed for use in application
development solutions. The services, described above, define the system and process intellectual
property that allows us to be the leader in our markets. In addition, our ORC subsidiary holds a
patent for a digital parsing tool that provides a secure repository gateway that will allow users,
including first time users, the ability to immediately establish and access accounts by presenting
their certificates to a directory validated by the gateway. In this manner, we rely upon a
combination of trade secrets, copyright and trademark laws, and contractual restrictions to
establish and protect the ownership of our proprietary methodologies. We generally enter into
nondisclosure and confidentiality agreements with our employees, partners, consultants, independent
sales agents and clients. As the number of our competitors increase, the likelihood that such
competitors will use similar methodologies increases. Although our methodologies have never been
subject to an infringement claim, there can be no assurance that third parties will not assert
infringement claims against us in the future; that the assertion of such claims will not result in
litigation; or that we would prevail in such litigation or be able to obtain the license for the
use of any allegedly infringed intellectual property from a third party on commercially reasonable
terms. Further, regardless of its outcome, litigation can result in substantial costs and divert
managements attention from our operations. Although we are not aware of any basis upon which a
third party could assert an infringement claim, any infringement claim or litigation could
materially adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition.
Personnel
As of December 31, 2008, we had a total of 90 employees with 81 full time employees and 9 part-time
employees. We also periodically employ additional consultants and temporary employees.
Our offices are located in areas populated by military personnel (both retired and active duty),
and highly skilled civilian personnel. Potential employees possessing the unique qualifications
required are readily available for both part-time and full-time employment. The primary method of
soliciting personnel is through recruiting resources directly utilizing all known sources that
include electronic databases, public forums, and personal networks of friends and former coworkers.
12
We believe that our future success will depend in part on our continued ability to attract and
retain highly skilled managerial, technical, sales and support personnel. There can be no
assurance that we will be able to continue to attract and retain personnel necessary for the
development of our business. We generally do not have employment contracts with our employees, but
we do maintain employment agreements with our key employees. However, confidentiality and
non-disclosure agreements are in place with many of our employees. None of our employees are
subject to a collective bargaining agreement. We believe that our relations with our employees are
good.

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS. |
Forward Looking Statements
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 (WidePoint or the Company) is a technology-based provider of product and
services to both the government sector and commercial markets. WidePoint was incorporated in
Delaware on May 30, 1997. We have grown through the merger of highly specialized regional IT
consulting companies.
Our expertise lies in three business segments. The three segments offer unique solutions in
identity management services utilizing certificate-based security solutions; wireless
telecommunication expense management systems; and other associated IT consulting services and
products in which we provide specific subject matter expertise in IT Architecture and Planning,
Software Implementation Services, IT Outsourcing, and Forensic Informatics. For additional
information related to our three business segments, see Note 9 to our financial statements in this
Form 10-K.
WidePoint has three material operational entities, Operational Research Consultants, Inc. (ORC);
iSYS, LLC (iSYS), which we acquired in January 2008; and WidePoint IL, Inc., operated together with
Protexx Acquisition Corp., doing business as Protexx, which we acquired in July 2008:
ORC specializes in IT integration and secure authentication processes and software, and
providing services to the U.S. Government. ORC has been at the forefront of implementing
Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) technologies. PKI technology uses a class of algorithms in
which a user can receive two electronic keys, consisting of a public key and a private key,
to encrypt any information and/or communication being transmitted to or from the user within
a computer network and between different computer networks. PKI technology is rapidly
becoming the technology of choice to enable security services within and between different
computer systems utilized by various agencies and departments of the U.S. Government.
iSYS specializes in mobile telecommunications expense management services, forensic
informatics, and information assurance services, predominantly to various agencies and
departments of the U.S. Government.
Protexx, which was in the development stage company when we acquired it, specializes in
identity assurance, and mobile and wireless data protection products and services.
19
We intend to continue to market and sell our technical capabilities into the governmental and
commercial marketplace. Further, we are continuing to actively search out new synergistic
acquisitions that we believe may further enhance our present base of business and service
offerings, which has already been augmented by our acquisitions of ORC and iSYS, our asset purchase
of Protexx, and our internal growth initiatives.
With the addition of the customer base and the increase in revenues attributable to our iSYS
acquisition, WidePoints opportunity to leverage and expand further into the federal marketplace
has improved substantially. iSYSs past client successes, top security clearances for their
personnel, and additional breadth of management talent have expanded the Companys reach into
markets that previously were not fully accessible to WidePoint. WidePoint intends to continue to
leverage the synergies between its newly-acquired operating subsidiary, and cross sell its
technical capabilities into each separate marketplace serviced by our respective subsidiaries.
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 marketplace, we
rely upon a larger portion of our revenues from the federal government directly or as a
subcontractor. The federal governments fiscal year ends September 30. If a budget for the next
fiscal year has not been approved by that date, our clients may have to suspend engagements that we
are working on until a budget has been approved. Such suspensions may cause us to realize lower
revenues in the fourth calendar quarter and/or first quarter of the governments fiscal year.
Further, a change in senior government officials may negatively affect the rate at which the
federal government purchases the services that we offer.
As a result of the factors above, period-to-period comparisons of our revenues and operating
results may not be meaningful. These comparisons are not indicators of future performance and no
assurances can be given that quarterly results will not fluctuate, causing a possible material
adverse effect on our operating results and financial condition.
20
In addition, most of WidePoints current costs consist primarily of the salaries and benefits paid
to WidePoints technical, marketing and administrative personnel as well as vendor-related costs in
connection with our Mobile Telecom Managed Services. As a result of our plan to expand WidePoints
operations through a combination of internal growth initiatives and merger and acquisition
opportunities, WidePoint expects such costs to increase. WidePoints profitability also depends
upon both the volume of services performed and the Companys ability to manage costs. As a
significant portion of the Companys cost is labor related, WidePoint must effectively manage these
costs to achieve and grow its profitability. The Company must also
manage our airtime plans and other vendor related offerings under our Mobile Telecom Managed
Services provided to our customers as they also represent a significant portion of our costs. To
date, the Company has attempted to maximize its operating margins through efficiencies achieved by
the use of its proprietary methodologies, and by offsetting increases in consultant salaries with
increases in consultant fees received from its clients. The uncertainties relating to the ability
to achieve and maintain profitability, obtain additional funding to partially fund the Companys
growth strategy and provide the necessary investment to continue to upgrade its management
reporting systems to meet the continuing demands of the present regulatory changes affect the
comparability of the information reflected in the financial information presented above.
Our staff consists of business process and computer specialists who help our government and
civilian customers augment and expand their resident technologic skills and competencies, drive
technical innovation, and help develop and maintain a competitive edge in todays rapidly changing
technological environment in business. Our organization emphasizes an intense commitment to our
people, our customers, and the quality of our solutions offerings. As a services organization, our
customers are our primary focus.
The Companys revenues for the year ending December 31, 2008 increased by approximately 151% from
approximately $14.1 million in 2007 to approximately $35.4 million in 2008. The increase in
revenues during 2008 as compared to 2007 was primarily a result of our acquisition of iSYS and the
addition of our wireless telecommunication expense management systems segment. While we
anticipate revenue gains for our 2009 calendar year at each of our three business segments, the
realization of those gains may be subject to timing delays in project implementation phases that
may be outside the control of the Company, and there can be no assurance that our revenues will
increase in 2009.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The Companys consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the U.S., or U.S. GAAP. These accounting principles require us to
make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions. WidePoint believes that the estimates, judgments
and assumptions upon which the Company relies are reasonably based upon information available to it
at the time that these estimates, judgments and assumptions are made. These estimates, judgments
and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the
financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the periods
presented. To the extent there are material differences between these estimates, judgments and
assumptions and actual results, the Companys financial statements will be affected. The
significant accounting policies that WidePoint believes are the most critical to aid in fully
understanding and evaluating our reported financial results include the following:
|
|
|
Revenue recognition; |
|
|
|
|
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts; |
|
|
|
|
Goodwill; |
|
|
|
Intangibles; and |
|
|
|
|
Accounting for income taxes. |
21
In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by
U.S. GAAP and does not require managements judgment in its application. There are also areas in
which managements judgment in selecting among available alternatives would not produce a
materially different result. The Companys senior management has reviewed these critical accounting
policies and related disclosures with its Audit Committee. See Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements, which contain additional information regarding accounting policies and other
disclosures required by U.S. GAAP.
Revenue Recognition
A portion of the Companys revenues are derived from cost-plus, or time-and-materials contracts.
Under cost-plus contracts, revenues are recognized as costs are incurred and include an estimate of
applicable fees earned. For time-and-material contracts, revenues are computed by multiplying the
number of direct labor-hours expended in the performance of the contract by the contract billing
rates and adding other billable direct costs. In the event of a termination of a contract, all
billed and unbilled amounts associated with those task orders where work has been performed would
be billed and collected. The termination provisions of the contract would be accounted for at the
time of termination. Any deferred and/or amortization cost would either be billed or expensed
depending upon the termination provisions of the contract. Further, the Company has had no material
history of losses nor has it identified any material specific risk of loss at December 31, 2008 or
December 31, 2007 due to termination provisions and thus has not recorded provisions for such
events.
Additionally, revenues are derived from the delivery of non-customized software. In such cases
revenue is recognized when there is persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists (generally a
purchase order has been received or contract signed), delivery has occurred, the charge for the
software is fixed or determinable, and collectability is probable.
Revenue
from our mobile telecom expense management services (MTEMS) is recognized upon delivery
of services as they are rendered. Arrangements with customers on MTEMS related contracts are
recognized ratably over a period of performance.
Revenue from the sale of PKI credentials is recognized when delivery occurs. Arrangements with
customers on PKI related contracts may involve multiple deliverable elements. In these cases, the
Company applies the principles prescribed in Emerging Issues Task
Force Abstract (EITF) 00-21
Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables. The Company analyzes various factors, including a
review of the nature of the contract or product sold, the terms of each specific transaction, the
relative fair values of the elements required by EITF 00-21, any contingencies that may be present,
its historical experience with like transactions or with like products, the creditworthiness of the
customer, and other current market and economic conditions.
22
Should the sale of product or software involve an arrangement with multiple elements (for
example, the sale of PKI Credential Seats along with the sale of maintenance, hosting and support
to be delivered over the contract period), the Company allocates revenue to each component of the
arrangement using the residual value method based on the fair value of the undelivered elements.
The Company defers revenue from the arrangement equivalent to the fair value of the undelivered
elements and recognizes the remaining amount at the time of the delivery of the product or when all
other revenue recognition criteria have been met.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
WidePoint determines its Allowance by considering a number of factors, including the length of time
trade accounts receivable are past due, previous loss history, the customers current ability to
pay its obligations, and the condition of the general economy and the industry as a whole. The
Company makes judgments as to its ability to collect outstanding receivables based on these factors
and provide allowances for these receivables when collections become doubtful. Provisions are made
based on specific review of all significant outstanding balances. Because of the Companys history
of minimal credit losses and the nature of the Companys customers at the time, no allowance for
doubtful accounts was believed necessary at December 31, 2008 or at December 31, 2007.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents costs in excess of fair values assigned to the underlying net assets acquired.
The Company has adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No.
141, Business Combinations, and SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. These
standards require the use of the purchase method of accounting for business combinations, set forth
the accounting for the initial recognition of acquired intangible assets and goodwill and describe
the accounting for intangible assets and goodwill subsequent to initial recognition. Under the
provisions of these standards, goodwill is not subject to amortization and annual review is
required for impairment. The impairment test under SFAS No. 142 is based on a two-step process
involving (i) comparing the estimated fair value of the related reporting unit to its net book
value and (ii) comparing the estimated implied fair value of goodwill to its carrying value.
Impairment losses are recognized whenever the implied fair value of goodwill is less than its
carrying value. The Companys annual impairment testing date is December 31. Goodwill is a
significant item on the Companys balance sheet and represents approximately 36% of our total
assets as of December 31, 2008. Goodwill is identified on the face of the Balance Sheet.
Intangibles
Purchase Accounting Intangibles:
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. The application of purchase accounting to a business
acquisition requires that the Company identify the individual assets acquired and liabilities
assumed and estimate the fair value of each.
23
The intangibles recognized in the acquisition are amortized over the Companys estimate of 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.
Internally Developed Intangibles:
The Company recognizes an internally developed intangible whenever the costs of the internally
generated intangible are beyond the research and development stage and is provable for which the
costs of such efforts are specifically identifiable, has a determinate life, and is not inherent in
a continuing business and is not related to a reporting entity as a whole. The intangibles
recognized as internally developed are amortized over the Companys estimate of their useful lives.
Impairment losses are recognized if the carrying amount of an intangible subject to amortization
is not recoverable from the expected future cash flows and its carrying amount exceeds its fair
value.
The Company reviews its long-lived assets, including property and equipment and identifiable
intangibles 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.
As of December 31, 2008, the Company is not aware of any known trends, demands, commitments, events
or uncertainties that are reasonably likely to occur and materially affect the methodology or the
assumptions the Company has used to value long-lived assets. Long-lived assets are a significant
item on the Companys balance sheet and represent approximately 46% of our total assets. Any
impairment as a result of the estimate utilizing undiscounted net cash flows to determine the
assumed value of long-lived assets could have a significant impact on the Companys financial
condition, changes in financial condition and results of operations. Long-lived assets are
identified on the face of the Balance Sheet as Intangibles. Amortization of Intangibles is
identified on the face of the Statement of Operations within Cost of Sales.
Specific intangibles materially arose as a result of the Companys acquisitions of ORC, iSYS, LLC,
and the assets purchase of Protexx, Inc. The Company allocated approximately $1,145,000 ($224,000
net book value at December 31, 2008) to customer list and relationships and approximately
$2,526,000 to goodwill for its acquisition of ORC. The Company allocated approximately $1,230,000
($972,000 net book value at December 31, 2008) to customer relationships, internally generated
software and the iSYS trade name and approximately $6,050,000 to goodwill for its acquisition of
iSYS, LLC. The Company allocated approximately $506,000 (approximately $436,000 net book value at
December 31, 2008) to internally generated software and systems as a result of the asset purchase
of Protexx, Inc. The Companys senior management has discussed the development and selection of
the accounting estimates relating to the purchase accounting for the ORC, iSYS LLC, and Protexx
acquisitions, the amortization period of the acquired intangibles and the lack of impairment of the
assets, and the MD&A disclosure regarding those estimates, with the Audit Committee of the
Companys board of directors. Also, the Company engaged a valuation firm to perform an
independent analysis to
provide a qualified opinion on the Companys methodology and calculations in determining the
related intangibles valuations associated with the purchase accounting for the ORC acquisition and
engaged a valuation firm to perform an independent analysis to provide a qualified opinion on the
related intangibles valuations and purchase price allocations associated with the purchase
accounting for the iSYS, LLC acquisition.
24
Accounting for Income Taxes
WidePoint accounts for income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. Under the asset and liability method of SFAS No. 109,
deferred income taxes are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary
differences between financial statement carrying amounts, and the tax bases of existing assets and
liabilities using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those
temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.
The Company has incurred historical net operating losses, or NOLs, for federal income tax purposes.
Accordingly, no federal income tax provision has been recorded to date and there are no taxes
payable. In assessing the realizability 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. The unused NOL carry forwards expire in years 2010 through 2028. As
such, the Company has recorded a full valuation allowance against net deferred tax assets.
WidePoint believes that its estimates are reasonable, given the lack of historical earnings and the
fact that there may be significant limitations placed on the use of the NOL carryforwards. There
is, however, a significant possibility that the Company will have sufficient income in the future
to utilize substantial portions of the deferred tax assets. No assurance can be given that the
final outcome of these matters will not be different than that which is described above. Such a
change in the estimate reflected in the historical income tax provisions could have a material
effect on the income tax provision and net income in the period in which such determination is
made. The Company has not performed a section 382 analysis.
New Accounting Pronouncements
EITF 07-01
In December 2007, the EITF reached a consensus on EITF No. 07-01, Accounting for Collaborative
Arrangements Related to the Development and Commercialization of Intellectual Property, or EITF
07-01. EITF 07-01 discusses the appropriate income statement presentation and classification for
the activities and payments between the participants in arrangements related to the development and
commercialization of intellectual property. The sufficiency of disclosure related to these
arrangements is also specified. EITF 07-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December
15, 2008. As a result, EITF 07-01 is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2009.
The Company does not believe EITF 07-01 will have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
25
SFAS 141(R) and SFAS 160
In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement No. 141
(Revised 2007), Business Combinations (SFAS 141(R)) and Statement No. 160, Accounting and
Reporting of Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements , an amendment of ARB
No. 51 (SFAS 160). These statements will significantly change the financial accounting and
reporting of business combination transactions and non-controlling (or minority) interests in
consolidated financial statements. SFAS 141(R) requires companies to: (i) recognize, with certain
exceptions, 100% of the fair values of assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and non-controlling
interests in acquisitions of less than a 100% controlling interest when the acquisition constitutes
a change in control of the acquired entity; (ii) measure acquirer shares issued in consideration
for a business combination at fair value on the acquisition date; (iii) recognize contingent
consideration arrangements at their acquisition-date fair values, with subsequent changes in fair
value generally reflected in earnings; (iv) with certain exceptions, recognize pre-acquisition loss
and gain contingencies at their acquisition-date fair values; (v) capitalize in-process research
and development (IPR&D) assets acquired; (vi) expense, as incurred, acquisition-related transaction
costs; (vii) capitalize acquisition-related restructuring costs only if the criteria in SFAS 146,
Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities , are met as of the acquisition
date; and (viii) recognize changes that result from a business combination transaction in an
acquirers existing income tax valuation allowances and tax uncertainty accruals as adjustments to
income tax expense. SFAS 141(R) is required to be adopted concurrently with SFAS 160 and is
effective for business combination transactions for which the acquisition date is on or after the
beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008 (the
Companys fiscal 2009). Early adoption of these statements is prohibited. The Company believes the
adoption of these statements will have a material impact on significant acquisitions completed
after December 31, 2008.
SFAS 162
In May 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.
This standard is intended to improve financial reporting by identifying a consistent framework, or
hierarchy, for selecting accounting principles to be used in preparing financial statements that
are presented in conformity with US GAAP for non-governmental entities. SFAS No. 162 is effective
60 days following the Securities and Exchange Commissions approval of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, the meaning of Present Fairly in
Conformity with GAAP. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact, if any, of SFAS 162
on its consolidated financial statements.
FSP 142-3
In April 2008, the FASB issued FSP 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets, or
FSP 142-3. FSP 142-3 amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or
extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS
No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. FSP 142-3 is effective for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company is currently assessing the impact of
FSP 142-3 on its consolidated financial position and results of operations.
26
EITF 03-6-1
In June 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) No. 03-6-1,
Determining whether Instruments granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions are Participating
Securities, or FSP EITF No. 03-6-1. Under FSP EITF No. 03-6-1, unvested share-based payment
awards that contain rights to receive non-forfeitable dividends (whether paid or unpaid) are
participating securities, and should be included in the two-class method of computing earnings per
share. FSP EITF No. 03-6-1 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and
interim periods within those years. It is not expected to have a significant impact on the
Companys financial statements.
Results of Operations
Year Ended December 31, 2008 Compared to the Year ended December 31, 2007
Revenues. Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2008, were approximately $35.4 million, an
increase of $21.3 million, as compared to revenues of approximately $14.1 million for the year
ended December 31, 2007. This increase was materially attributable to our acquisition of iSYS.
iSYS provided approximately $24.2 million of our $35.4 million in revenues for the year ended
December 31, 2008. Prior to the acquisition of iSYS in January 2008, iSYS had revenues of
approximately $20.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2007. We anticipate further growth of
our iSYS subsidiary in fiscal year 2009 as it continues to experience adoption of its mobile
telecom services by U.S. federal agencies under the General Services Administrations (GSA)
Federal Strategic Sourcing Initiative (FSSI) contract vehicle for mobile telecom services. We
have been awarded the first two contracts under this contract vehicle during 2008 and we are
actively marketing our services under this contract vehicle to all U.S. federal agencies and
departments. We believe we are competitively positioned to win additional awards under this
contract vehicle in fiscal year 2009.
Our mobile telecom managed services segment experienced revenue growth of approximately 38% with
revenues increasing approximately $5.8 million from approximately $15.2 million for the year ended
December 31, 2007 (prior to our acquisition in January 2008), to approximately $21.0 million for
the year ended December 31, 2008, as a result of continuing adoption of the Federal Governments
GSA FSSI contract vehicle award along with the expansion of our current customer base. In the
long-term we anticipate our mobile telecom managed services segment should continue to expand as we
witness further adoption by the U.S. federal agencies and departments.
Our PKI credentialing and managed services segment experienced revenue growth of approximately 5%
with revenues increasing approximately $0.2 million from approximately $3.6 million for the year
ended December 31, 2007, to approximately $3.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2008, as a
result of the adoption of the Federal Governments mandate under HSPD-12 and the continuing
adoption of several U.S. federally-sponsored programs currently migrating from various pilot
programs and or programs that are expanding their deployment as a
result of continued adoption by the Department of Defense, the Transportation Security
Administration and other U.S. agencies and departments. In the long-term we anticipate that our
PKI credentialing and managed services sales should continue to increase as we witness continued
adoption of these programs and the launch of various other initiatives. In the short-term we do
anticipate a greater variability in revenue growth as we either await contract awards that have
been delayed or as certain pilot programs expand to fully implemented programs in support of the
HSPD-12 initiative.
27
Our consulting services segment experienced increased revenues of approximately $0.1 million from
approximately $10.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 as compared to approximately $10.7
million for the year ended December 31, 2008. The increase in revenues for the year ended December
31, 2008 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2007 was substantially the result of our
acquisition of iSYS and the inclusion of their consulting services group into this segment,
partially offset by reductions in our commercial consulting group revenues as a result of the
negative economic conditions.
Cost of Sales. Cost of sales for the year ended December 31, 2008, was approximately $28.9 million,
or 81% of revenues, an increase of approximately $18.6 million above cost of sales of approximately
$10.3 million, or 73% of revenues, for the year ended December 31, 2007. The absolute dollar
increase in cost of sales was substantially attributable to higher revenues, combined with iSYS
service offering that includes an option that provides for the payments of carrier charges on
behalf of some of the customer base. These charges are embedded into the service fees associated
with the cost of providing some of our mobile telecom offerings to certain customers. We do not
separately measure our profit margins for contracts with this feature. Depreciation and
amortization applied to cost of sales also increased approximately $400,000 from $446,000 for the
year ended December 31, 2007 to approximately $846,000 for the year ended December 31, 2008. The
increase was substantially a result of the addition of intangible amortization costs associated
with our purchase accounting valuation of our iSYS intangibles. We believe that as our percentage
of business from our higher margin services expands in relationship to our lower margin services
that our overall cost of sales as a percentage may decrease in the future.
The cost elements related to consultant salaries, benefits and expenses at all of our subsidiaries
are substantially similar.
Gross profit. Gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2008, was approximately $6.6 million,
or 19% of revenues, an increase of $2.8 million as compared to gross profit of approximately $3.8
million, or 27% of revenues, for the year ended December 31, 2007.
Sales and marketing. Sales and marketing expenses for the year ended December 31, 2008 were
approximately $0.9 million, or 3% of revenues, as compared to approximately $0.8 million, or 6% of
revenues, for the year ended December 31, 2007. The increase in sales and marketing expenses for
the year ended December 31, 2008, was primarily attributable to an increase in sales and marketing
expenditures for new personnel and tools as we increased our efforts to expand our sales and
marketing infrastructure as part of our strategy to further increase our presence into the federal
marketplace, which was partially offset by reductions in sales and
marketing personnel within our commercial marketplace. As we expand our sales and marketing
efforts these costs may increase.
28
General and administrative. General and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31,
2008 were approximately $6.2 million, or 18% of revenues, as compared to $3.5 million, or 25% of
revenues, for the year ended December 31, 2007. Substantially all of the increase was
attributable to the addition of general and administrative costs added from the acquisition of iSYS
in January 2008 and the recognition of higher employee stock options expense of approximately $0.6
million for the year ended December 31, 2008 as compared to approximately $0.2 million for the year
ended December 31, 2007.
Depreciation expense. Depreciation expense for year ended December 31, 2008, was approximately
$161,000, or less than 1% of revenues, an increase of approximately $78,000, as compared to
approximately $83,000 of such expenses, or less than 1% of revenues, recorded by the Company for
the year ended December 31, 2007. The increase in depreciation expenses for the year ended December
31, 2008, was primarily attributable to the increased pool of depreciable assets.
Interest income (expense). Interest income for the year ended December 31, 2008 was $135,000, an
increase of $31,000 as compared to $104,000 for the year ended December 31, 2007. The increase in
interest income in 2008 was primarily attributable to greater amounts of available cash and other
securities in interest bearing accounts. Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2008 was
$337,000 an increase of $323,000 as compared to $14,000 of interest expense for the year ended
December 31, 2007. The increase in interest expense in 2008 was primarily attributable to greater
expenses associated with the debt instruments issued by the Company in connection with the
acquisition of iSYS.
Income taxes. Income taxes for the year ended December 31, 2008 were approximately $157,000 as
compared to no income taxes for the year ended December 31, 2007. The Company incurred a deferred
income tax expense of approximately $157,000 for the year ended December 31, 2008, 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. Because the goodwill is not amortized for book purposes but is for tax
purposes and goodwill is considered a permanent asset and not 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. The deferred tax liability can be offset by future
taxable earnings and the deferred tax expense is a non-cash expense. SFAS No. 109 requires the
expected timing of future reversals of deferred tax liabilities to be taken into account when
evaluating the realizability of deferred tax assets. Therefore, the reversal of deferred tax
liabilities related to the goodwill is not to be considered a source of future taxable income when
assessing the realization of deferred tax assets. Because the Company has a valuation allowance
for the full amount of the deferred income tax asset, the deferred income liability associated with
the tax deductible goodwill has been recorded and not offset against existing deferred income tax
assets.
Net loss. As a result of the above, the net loss for the year ended December 31, 2008 was
approximately $1.1 million, an increase of $0.6 million, as compared to the net loss of
approximately $0.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2007.
29
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.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company has, since inception, financed its operations and capital expenditures through the sale
of preferred and common stock, seller notes, convertible notes, convertible exchangeable
debentures, senior secured loans and the proceeds from the exercise of the warrants related to a
convertible exchangeable debenture. During 2008 and 2007, operations were primarily financed with
working capital, senior debt, issuance of common stock, and stock option and warrant exercises.
Cash provided by operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2008, was approximately
$2,679,000 as compared to cash used by operating activities of approximately $445,000 for the year
ended December 31, 2007. The increase in cash balances available for operating activities for the
year ended December 31, 2008, was primarily a result of higher collections of accounts receivable
that we acquired in our acquisition of iSYS as well as higher overall collections of accounts
receivable in general and increases in our deferred revenues also primarily attributable to our
acquisition of iSYS. From the date of the acquisition, iSYS has decreased its accounts receivable
and produced cash from operations of approximately $600,000. This was partially offset by a
decrease in vendor payables and accrued expenses of $300,000. Additionally, deferred revenue for
iSYS produced approximately $1.6 million in additional cash from operations. Cash provided by
investing and financing activities also improved materially as a result from two capital raises in
April and May of 2008 that raised approximately $4.1 million. Capital expenditures in property and
equipment were approximately $96,000, excluding any capital leases for the year ended December 31,
2008, as compared to capital expenditures in property and equipment of approximately $132,000,
excluding capital leases for the year ended December 31, 2007.
Substantially all of the increases in assets and liabilities in the Companys balance sheet were
due to our acquisition of iSYS and capital raises during 2008.
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.
There are currently no material commitments for capital expenditures but that could change with
the addition of material contract awards. Future capital requirements will depend on many factors,
including the rate of revenue growth, if any, the timing and extent of spending for new product and
service development, technological changes and market acceptance of the Companys services.
WidePoint believes that its current cash position is sufficient to meet capital expenditure and
working capital requirements through 2009. 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 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.
31
As of December 31, 2008, the Company had net working capital of approximately $2.7 million.
WidePoints primary source of liquidity consists of approximately $4.4 million in cash and cash
equivalents and approximately $7.6 million of accounts receivable and unbilled accounts receivable.
Current liabilities include approximately $5.0 million in accounts payable and accrued expenses
and approximately $2.1 million in a related party note payable.
The Companys business environment is characterized by rapid technological change, experiencing
times of high growth and contraction, and is influenced by material events such as mergers and
acquisitions that can substantially change the Companys performance and outlook.
On January 2, 2008, the Company entered into a Commercial Loan Agreement with Cardinal Bank
relating to a $5,000,000 revolving credit facility and a $2,000,000 term loan. Advances under the
revolving credit facility were interest bearing at a variable rate equal to the prime rate plus
0.25% with an interest rate floor of 6.5% and the repayment date for such facility was April 30,
2009. This revolving credit facility replaced the Companys prior $2,000,000 revolving credit
facility with Cardinal Bank. The term loan bears interest at 7.5% annually and the repayment date
of such term loan is January 1, 2012. 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 replaces the Companys prior $5 million
revolving credit facility with Cardinal Bank. The 2009 Commercial Loan Agreement allows for the
Company to borrow up to $5 million. The repayment date of the revolving credit facility was
extended to June 1, 2010 and advances under the revolving credit facility will bear interest at a
variable rate equal to the prime rate plus 0.5% with an interest rate floor of 5%.
On January 4, 2008, the Company completed the closing of the acquisition of all the issued and
outstanding membership interests of iSYS from Mr. Jin Kang, the sole owner-member of iSYS, pursuant
to the terms of a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement, dated as of January 2, 2008, between the
Company, iSYS, and Jin Kang. Pursuant to the terms of the Membership Interest Purchase Agreement,
the Company paid Jin Kang the following consideration at the closing: (i) $5,000,000 in cash, (ii)
$2,000,000 principal amount in an Installment Cash Promissory Note, which bears simple annual
interest at the initial rate of 7% through December 31, 2008, and thereafter the simple interest
rate will increase to 10% from January 1, 2009 through the date of maturity, which will be on the
earlier of either April 1, 2009 or the filing by the Company of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ending December 31, 2008, and (iii) the issuance of 1,500,000 shares of Company common
stock. The Company also issued an additional 3,000,000 shares of Company common stock in the name
of Jin Kang, which shares were delivered into escrow to be held subject to the satisfaction of
certain earnout provisions under the Membership Interest Purchase Agreement, and which shares are
subject to return to the Company in the event such earnout provisions are not achieved under the
terms of the Membership Interest Purchase Agreement. Under the terms of the Membership Interest
Purchase Agreement, Jin Kang also entered into an Employment and Non-Compete Agreement, dated as of
January 4, 2008.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company has no existing off-balance sheet arrangements as defined under SEC regulations.
32
Other
Inflation has not had a significant effect on the Companys operations, as increased costs to the
Company have generally been offset by increased prices of products and services sold, although this
has been more recently compromised by some of the competitive pricing pressures referenced under
Competition in Item 1 of this document.
The preparation of 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.
Actual results could substantially differ from those estimates.
This report contains forward-looking statements setting forth the Companys beliefs or expectations
relating to future revenues and profitability. Actual results may differ materially from projected
or expected results due to changes in the demand for the Companys products and services,
uncertainties relating to the results of operations, dependence on its major customers, risks
associated with rapid technological change and the emerging services market, potential fluctuations
in quarterly results, and its dependence on key employees and other risks and uncertainties
affecting the technology industry generally. 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.

ITEM 9. |

DISCLOSURE. |

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that
material information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time
periods specified in the SECs rules and forms, and that the information is accumulated and
communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer,
as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. We performed an evaluation,
under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and
operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this
report. Based on the existence of the material weaknesses discussed below in Managements Report
on 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.
33
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.
Managements Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over
financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and
15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as a process designed by, or under
the supervision of, our principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by our
board of directors, management and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the
reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external
purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies
and procedures that:
|
|
|
pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail
accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; |
|
|
|
|
provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as
necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the
company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and
directors; and |
|
|
|
|
provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection
of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the companys assets that could
have a material effect on the financial statements. |
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or
detect misstatements. Additionally, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future
periods are subject to the risks that controls may become inadequate because of changes in
conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
34
Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2008. 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, 2008 due to the existence of the material weaknesses as of
December 31, 2008, discussed below. A material weakness is a control deficiency, or a combination
of control deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement
of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected.
|
|
|
Inadequate segregation of duties within a significant account or process. We did not
have appropriate segregation of duties within our internal controls that would ensure the
consistent application of procedures in our financial reporting process by existing
personnel. This control deficiency could result in a misstatement to substantially all of
our financial statement accounts and disclosures that would result in a material
misstatement to the annual or interim financial statements that would not be prevented or
detected. Accordingly, management has concluded that this control deficiency constitutes a
material weakness. |
|
|
|
|
Inadequate documentation of the components of internal control. We did not maintain
documented policies and evidence of compliance with our internal controls that would ensure
the consistent application of procedures in our financial reporting process by existing
personnel. This control deficiency could result in a misstatement to substantially all of
our financial statement accounts and disclosures that would result in a material
misstatement to the annual or interim financial statements that would not be prevented or
detected. Accordingly, management has concluded that this control deficiency constitutes a
material weakness. |
|
|
|
|
Income Tax Accounting. We engage outside parties to assist us in accounting for income
taxes. We have not implemented an effective review process for accounting for income
taxes that could lead to errors occurring in the amounts and disclosures for income taxes.
Accordingly, management has concluded that this control deficiency constitutes a material
weakness. |
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the companys registered public
accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Managements report was not
subject to attestation by the companys registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary
rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the company to provide only
managements report in this annual report.
Remediation Plan for Material Weaknesses
The material weaknesses described above in Managements Report on Internal Control Over
Financial Reporting comprise control deficiencies that we discovered in the fourth quarter of
fiscal year 2007 and during the financial close process for fiscal year 2008. Upon the Companys
acquisition of iSYS in January 2008, the Company further determined that the material weaknesses
described above were also present in iSYS internal controls. We specifically noted weaknesses
associated with the process of recognizing a certain segment of the iSYS revenue and associated
direct costs.
35
Beginning and during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007, we formulated a remediation plan and
initiated remedial action to address those material weaknesses at WidePoint. During the first
quarter of 2008, we expanded the scope of our remediation plan to address the material weaknesses
related to the internal controls and procedures of iSYS. The elements of the remediation plan are
as follows:
|
|
|
Inadequate segregation of duties within a significant account or process. We commenced
a thorough review of our accounting staffs duties and where necessary we have begun
segregating such duties with other personnel. |
|
|
|
|
Inadequate documentation of the components of internal control. We commenced a thorough
review of our documentation and where necessary we are putting into place policies and
procedures to document such evidence to comply with our internal control requirements. We
are specifically addressing policies to properly review and recognize a certain segment of
the iSYS revenue and associated direct costs. We have also retained a financial consultant
to assist us in further reviewing and improving our internal control processes. |
We believe that these measures, if effectively implemented and maintained, will remediate the
material weaknesses discussed above.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2008 and the first quarter of 2009, we undertook a number
of measures to remediate the material weaknesses discussed under Managements Report on Internal
Control Over Financial Reporting, above. Those measures, described under Remediation Plan for
Material Weaknesses, undertaken during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2008, have materially
affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial
reporting.
Other than as described above, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial
reporting during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2008 that have materially affected, or are
reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of WidePoint Corporation:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of WidePoint Corporation and
subsidiaries as of December 31, 2008 and 2007 and the related consolidated statements of
operations, stockholders equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated
financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion of these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The
Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control
over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial
reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but
not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control
over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on
a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An
audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that
our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of WidePoint Corporation and subsidiaries as of December
31, 2008 and 2007 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then
ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
1. Basis of Presentation, Organization, Nature of Operations:
WidePoint Corporation (WidePoint or the Company) is a technology-based provider of product and
services to both the government sector and commercial markets. WidePoint was incorporated in
Delaware on May 30, 1997. We have grown through the merger of highly specialized regional IT
consulting companies.
Our expertise lies in three business segments. The three segments offer unique solutions in
identity management services utilizing certificate-based security solutions; wireless
telecommunication expense management systems; and other associated IT consulting services and
products in which we provide specific subject matter expertise in IT Architecture and Planning,
Software Implementation Services, IT Outsourcing, and Forensic Informatics. For additional
information related to our three business segments, see Note 9 to our financial statements in this
Form 10-K.
WidePoint has three material operational entities, Operational Research Consultants, Inc. (ORC),
iSYS, LLC (iSYS), and WidePoint IL, Inc., along with a development stage company, Protexx
Acquisition Corporation doing business as Protexx. In January 2008, we completed the acquisition
of iSYS. iSYS specializes in mobile telecommunications expense management services and forensic
informatics, and information assurance services predominantly to the U.S. Government. In July
2008, we completed the purchase of the operating assets and proprietary intellectual property of
Protexx, Inc. Protexx specializes in identity assurance and mobile and wireless data protection
services. ORC specializes in IT integration and secure authentication processes and software, and
providing services to the U.S. Government. ORC has been at the forefront of implementing Public
Key Infrastructure (PKI) technologies. PKI technology uses a class of algorithms in which a user
can receive two electronic keys, consisting of a public key and a private key, to encrypt any
information and/or communication being transmitted to or from the user within a computer network
and between different computer networks. PKI technology is rapidly becoming the technology of
choice to enable security services within and between different computer systems utilized by
various agencies and departments of the U.S. Government.
Our staff consists of business process and computer specialists who help our government and
civilian customers augment and expand their resident technologic skills and competencies, drive
technical innovation, and help develop and maintain a competitive edge in todays rapidly changing
technological environment in business. Our organization emphasizes an intense commitment to our
people, our customers, and the quality of our solutions offerings. As a services organization, our
customers are our primary focus.
2. Significant Accounting Policies:
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of acquired entities
since their respective dates of acquisition. All significant intercompany amounts have been
eliminated.
F - 7
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 with the current year presentation.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist of cash and cash
equivalents and accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2008, three clients, the DHS, the TSA, and
the WHS, represented 18%, 11%, and 11%, respectively, of accounts receivable. As of December 31,
2007, two clients, Headquarters Cryptologic Systems Group (HQ CPSG) and United Space Alliance,
represented 26% and 13% of accounts receivable, respectively.
Significant Customers
During
2008, three customers, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and the Washington Headquarters Services (WHS), an
agency of the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) that provides services for many DoD agencies and
organizations, individually represented 26%, 20%, and 14% of revenues, respectively, and we
therefore are materially dependent upon such customers. During 2007, no customer individually
represented at least 10% of revenues. 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, including the above customers, would have a material adverse effect on
results.
Fair value of financial instruments
The Companys financial instruments include cash equivalents, deferred revenue, accounts
receivable, notes receivable, accounts payable, short-term debt and other financial instruments
associated with the issuance of the common stock warrants attributable to the preferred stock
capital investment in the Company in October of 2004. The carrying values of cash equivalents,
accounts receivable, notes receivable, and accounts payable approximate their fair value because of
the short maturity of these instruments. The carrying amounts of the Companys bank borrowings
under its credit facility approximate fair value because the interest rates are reset periodically
to reflect current market rates.
F - 8
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. Included in the December 31, 2008 cash
balances was approximately $6,048,000 in interest bearing balances in one bank, in excess of
federally insured amounts, as compared to approximately $1,730,000 for December 31, 2007.
Accounts Receivable
The majority of the Companys accounts receivable is due from the Federal Government and
established private sector companies in the following industries: manufacturing, consumer product
goods, direct marketing, healthcare and financial services. Credit is extended based on an
evaluation of a customers financial condition and, generally, collateral is not required.
Accounts receivable are due within 30 to 60 days and are stated at amounts due from customers net
of an allowance for doubtful accounts. Accounts outstanding longer than the contractual payment
terms are reviewed for collectability and after 90 days are considered past due.
The Company determines its allowance by considering a number of factors, including the length of
time trade accounts receivable are past due, the Companys previous loss history, the customers
current ability to pay its obligation to the Company, and the condition of the general economy and
the industry as a whole. The Company writes-off accounts receivable when they become
uncollectible, and payments subsequently received on such receivables are credited to the allowance
for doubtful accounts.

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 December 31, 2008 and 2007, unbilled accounts receivable totaled $2,301,893,
and $371,435, respectively.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue from our mobile telecom expense management services (MTEMS) is recognized
upon delivery of goods and services as they are rendered. Arrangements with customers on MTEMS
related contracts are recognized ratably over a period of performance.
F - 9
Revenue from the sale of PKI credentials is recognized when delivery occurs. Arrangements with
customers on PKI related contracts may involve multiple deliverable elements. In these cases, the
Company applies the principles prescribed in Emerging Issues Task Force Abstract (EITF) 00-21
Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables. The Company analyzes various factors, including a
review of the nature of the contract or product sold, the terms of each specific transaction, the
relative fair values of the elements required by EITF 00-21, any contingencies that may be present,
its historical experience with like transactions or with like products, the creditworthiness of the
customer, and other current market and economic conditions.
Additionally, revenues are derived from the delivery of non-customized software. In such cases
revenue is recognized when there is persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists (generally a
purchase order has been received or contract signed), delivery has occurred, the charge for the
software is fixed or determinable, and collectability is probable.
Should the sale of product or software involve an arrangement with multiple elements (for example,
the sale of PKI Credential Seats along with the sale of maintenance, hosting and support to be
delivered over the contract period), the Company allocates revenue to each component of the
arrangement using the residual value method based on the fair value of the undelivered elements.
The Company defers revenue from the arrangement equivalent to the fair value of the undelivered
elements and recognizes the remaining amount at the time of the delivery of the product or when all
other revenue recognition criteria have been met.
A portion of our revenues are derived from cost-plus, or time-and-materials contracts. Under
cost-plus contracts, revenues are recognized as costs are incurred and include an estimate of
applicable fees earned. For time-and-material contracts, revenues are computed by multiplying the
number of direct labor-hours expended in the performance of the contract by the contract billing
rates and adding other billable direct costs.
In the event of a termination of a contract, all billed and unbilled amounts associated with those
task orders where work has been performed would be billed and collected. The termination provisions
of the contract would be accounted for at the time of termination. Any deferred and/or amortization
cost would either be billed or expensed depending upon the termination provisions of the contract.
Further, the Company has had no material history of losses nor has it identified any material
specific risk of loss at December 31, 2008 and 2007, 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 Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS) No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. Under SFAS No.109, deferred tax assets
and liabilities are computed based on the difference between the financial statement and income tax
bases of assets and liabilities using the enacted marginal tax rate. SFAS No. 109
requires that the net deferred tax asset be reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on the
weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the net
deferred tax asset will not be realized.

Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization.

|
|

|
Depreciation expense is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of
three to five years.
In accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position
98-1 Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use, the
Company capitalizes costs related to software and implementation in connection with its internal
use software systems.
Software Development Costs
WidePoint accounts for software development costs (or internally developed intangible assets)
related to software products for sale, lease or otherwise marketed in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 86, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be
Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed. For projects fully funded by the Company, significant
development costs are capitalized from the point of demonstrated technological feasibility until
the point in time that the product is available for general release to customers. Once the product
is available for general release, capitalized costs are amortized based on units sold, or on a
straight-line basis over a six-year period or other such shorter period as may be required.
WidePoint recorded approximately $240,000 of amortization expense for the year ended December 31,
2008, as compared to $183,000 of amortization expense for the year ended December 31, 2007. We
capitalized approximately $123,000 in new costs in 2008. Capitalized software costs, net, included
in Intangibles, net, at December 31, 2008 were approximately $0.6 million, as compared to
approximately $0.7 million of capitalized software costs included in Intangibles, net, at December
31, 2007.
F - 11
Goodwill, Intangible Assets, and Long-Lived Assets
Goodwill represents costs in excess of fair values assigned to the underlying net assets acquired.
The Company has adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No.
141, Business Combinations, and SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. These
standards require the use of the purchase method of accounting for
business combinations, set forth the accounting for the initial recognition of acquired intangible
assets and goodwill and describe the accounting for intangible assets and goodwill subsequent to
initial recognition. Under the provisions of these standards, goodwill is not subject to
amortization and annual review is required for impairment. The impairment test under SFAS No. 142
is based on a two-step process involving (i) comparing the estimated fair value of the related
reporting unit to its net book value and (ii) comparing the estimated implied fair value of
goodwill to its carrying value. Impairment losses are recognized whenever the implied fair value
of goodwill is less than its carrying value. The Companys annual impairment testing date is
December 31.
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 Loss Per Share
Basic income or loss per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing net income or loss
by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted income or loss
per share includes the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to
issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. The conversion of outstanding
options and warrants to purchase 8,614,457 and 7,176,257 shares, respectively, for the years ended
December 31, 2008 and 2007 has not been included in the calculation of the net loss per share as
such effect would have been anti-dilutive. As a result of these items, the basic and diluted loss
per share for all periods presented are identical.
Stock-based compensation
Employee stock-based compensation:
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004),
Share-Based Payment, (SFAS No. 123R). This statement requires that the costs of employee
share-based payments be measured at fair value on the awards grant date and recognized in the
financial statements over the requisite service period.
F - 12
Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123R using the modified
prospective application transition method. Under this method, compensation cost for
the portion of awards for which the requisite service has not yet been rendered that are
outstanding as of the adoption date is recognized over the remaining service period. The
compensation cost for that portion of awards is based on the grant-date fair value of those awards
as calculated for pro forma disclosures under SFAS No. 123, as originally issued. All new awards
that are modified, repurchased, or cancelled after the adoption date are accounted for under
provisions of SFAS No. 123R. The Company recognizes share-based compensation ratably using the
straight-line attribution method over the requisite service period. In addition, pursuant to SFAS
No. 123R, the Company is required to estimate the amount of expected forfeitures when calculating
share-based compensation, instead of accounting for forfeitures as they occur, which was the
Companys practice prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R.
For purposes of determining the effect of these options, the fair value of each option is estimated
on the date of grant based on the Black-Scholes single-option pricing model assuming the following
for the years ended December 31:

The material increase in stock compensation expense in the year ended December 31, 2008 was
primarily attributable to short term vesting associated with certain grants provided to select key
employees at our iSYS subsidiary.
Since we have cumulative operating losses as of December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 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 year ended December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, 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 aggregate remaining contractual lives in years for the options outstanding and exercisable at
December 31, 2008 and 2007 were 2.50 years and 3.75 years, respectively.
Aggregate intrinsic value represents total pretax intrinsic value (the difference between
WidePoints closing stock price on December 31, 2008 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 December 31, 2008. This amount changes based on the fair market
value of WidePoints stock. The total intrinsic value of options outstanding as of December 31,
2008 and 2007, respectively, were $112,650 and $5,200,151. The total intrinsic value of options
exercisable on December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, were $112,650 and $5,151,104. The total
intrinsic value of options exercised during the year ended December 31, 2008 and 2007,
respectively, were $29,120 and $161,412. The Company issues new shares of common stock upon the
exercise of stock options.
F - 14
At December 31, 2008, 4,535,438 shares were available for future grants under the Companys 2008
Stock Incentive Plan. This does not include warrants to purchase 3,999,999 shares granted and
vested to members of the senior management team that were not issued under the Companys 1997 Stock
Incentive Plan.
At December 31, 2008, the Company had approximately $375,871 of total unamortized compensation
expense, net of estimated forfeitures, related to stock option plans that will be recognized over
the weighted average period of 3.25 years.
Non-employee stock-based compensation:
The Company accounts for stock-based non-employee compensation arrangements using the fair value
recognition provisions of FASB Statement 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation and Emerging
Issues Task Force EITF 96-18, Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than
Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services.
New accounting pronouncements
EITF 07-01
In December 2007, the EITF reached a consensus on EITF No. 07-01, Accounting for Collaborative
Arrangements Related to the Development and Commercialization of Intellectual Property, or EITF
07-01. EITF 07-01 discusses the appropriate income statement presentation and classification for
the activities and payments between the participants in arrangements related to the development and
commercialization of intellectual property. The sufficiency of disclosure related to these
arrangements is also specified. EITF 07-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December
15, 2008. As a result, EITF 07-01 is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2009.
The Company does not believe EITF 07-01 will have a material impact on its condensed consolidated
financial statements.
SFAS 141(R) and SFAS 160
In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement No.
141(Revised 2007), Business Combinations (SFAS 141(R)) and Statement No. 160, Accounting and
Reporting of Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements , an amendment of ARB
No. 51 (SFAS 160). These statements will significantly change the financial accounting and
reporting of business combination transactions and non-controlling (or minority) interests in
consolidated financial statements. SFAS 141(R) requires companies to: (i) recognize, with certain
exceptions, 100% of the fair values of assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and non-controlling
interests in acquisitions of less than a 100% controlling interest when the acquisition constitutes
a change in control of the acquired entity; (ii) measure acquirer shares issued in consideration
for a business combination at fair value on the acquisition date; (iii) recognize contingent
consideration arrangements at their acquisition-date fair values, with subsequent changes in fair
value generally reflected in earnings; (iv) with certain exceptions, recognize pre-acquisition loss
and gain contingencies at their acquisition-date fair values; (v) capitalize in-process research and
F - 15
development (IPR&D) assets acquired; (vi) expense, as incurred,
acquisition-related transaction costs; (vii) capitalize acquisition-related restructuring costs
only if the criteria in SFAS 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities, are met as of the acquisition date; and (viii) recognize changes that result from a business
combination transaction in an acquirers existing income tax valuation allowances and tax
uncertainty accruals as adjustments to income tax expense. SFAS 141(R) is required to be adopted
concurrently with SFAS 160 and is effective for business combination transactions for which the
acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or
after December 15, 2008 (the Companys fiscal 2009). Early adoption of these statements is
prohibited. The Company believes the adoption of these statements will have a material impact on
significant acquisitions completed after December 31, 2008.
SFAS 162
In May 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.
This standard is intended to improve financial reporting by identifying a consistent framework, or
hierarchy, for selecting accounting principles to be used in preparing financial statements that
are presented in conformity with US GAAP for non-governmental entities. SFAS No. 162 is effective
60 days following the Securities and Exchange Commissions approval of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, the meaning of Present Fairly in
Conformity with GAAP. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact, if any, of SFAS 162
on its consolidated financial statements.
FSP 142-3
In April 2008, the FASB issued FSP 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible
Assets, or FSP 142-3. FSP 142-3 amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal
or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under
SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. FSP 142-3 is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company is currently assessing the impact of FSP 142-3 on
its consolidated financial position and results of operations.
EITF 03-6-1
In June 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) No. 03-6-1,
Determining whether Instruments granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions are Participating
Securities, or FSP EITF No. 03-6-1. Under FSP EITF No. 03-6-1, unvested share-based payment
awards that contain rights to receive non-forfeitable dividends (whether paid or unpaid) are
participating securities, and should be included in the two-class method of computing earnings per
share. FSP EITF No. 03-6-1 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and
interim periods within those years. It is not expected to have a significant impact on the
Companys financial statements.

3. Debt:
The Company entered into a senior lending agreement with Cardinal Bank on August 16, 2007. The
senior lending agreement had a maturity date of September 1, 2008 and provided for a $2 million
revolving credit facility. Borrowings under the Agreement were collateralized by the Companys
eligible contract receivables, inventory, all of its stock in certain of its subsidiaries and
certain property and equipment. The credit facility contained specific financial covenants related
to working capital levels and consolidated net worth. There was no borrowing under this credit
facility at December 31, 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 we had entered into with
Cardinal Bank in January 2008. We partially utilized this credit facility to acquire iSYS, LLC in
January of 2008 and borrowed under the line of credit approximately $1.8 million that we repaid in
full in May 2008 from the proceeds raised in a subsequent capital raise that occurred in April and
May of 2008. On December 31, 2008 we had no borrowing under this credit facility. The line of
credit had a $5 million borrowing cap at an interest rate of 6.5% as of December 31, 2008.
On March 17, 2009, the Company entered into a Debt Modification Agreement and Commercial Loan
Agreement (2009 Commercial Loan Agreement) with Cardinal Bank. This new revolving credit
facility replaced the Companys prior $5 million revolving credit facility with Cardinal Bank. The
2009 Commercial Loan Agreement allows for the Company to borrow up to $5 million. The repayment
date of the revolving credit facility was extended to June 1, 2010 and advances under the revolving
credit facility will bear interest at a variable rate equal to the prime rate plus 0.5% with an
interest rate floor of 5%. As part of the credit facility the Company must comply with certain
financial covenants that include tangible net worth, interest coverage ratios and other measures
that the Company was either in full compliance with or had waived as of December 31, 2008.
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 December 31, 2008 we owed approximately $1.6 million under the
note.
The Company also has a subordinated seller financed note for $2 million in favor of Jin Kang, a
related party of the Company and the former owner and current officer of iSYS, LLC, which is due
the earlier of April 1, 2009 or upon the filing of the Companys Form 10-K. The note bore interest
at the simple rate of 7% through December 31, 2008, which rate increased to 10% on January 1 and
will remain at 10% through the payment of the note. On December 31, 2008 the note and interest due
to Jin Kang was $2,140,000. On March 17, 2009, the Company entered into a Debt Modification
Agreement and Commercial Loan Agreement with Cardinal Bank. The new agreement excluded the
subordination agreement of Jin Kang from our prior credit facility to allow for the payment of the
sellers note.

4. Goodwill and Intangible Assets:
Effective January 1, 2002, WidePoint adopted SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.
SFAS 142 requires, among other things, the discontinuance of goodwill amortization. Under SFAS 142,
goodwill is to be reviewed at least annually for impairment; the Company has elected to perform
this review annually on December 31st of each calendar year. These reviews have resulted
in no adjustments in goodwill.
The following summarizes the Companys acquisition activity for the year ended December 31, 2008:
iSYS Acquisition
On January 8, 2008, the Company entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement to acquire
100% of the voting interest of iSYS. The Company acquired the membership interest in iSYS, LLC as
part of a strategy to expand critical mass in key managed services sectors related to information
technology, identity management, and the control, management, and securitization of the devices
utilized in those efforts. Under the terms of the Agreement, the Company paid the following
consideration at the closing of the acquisition:
|
(i) |
|
$5,000,000 in cash, |
|
|
(ii) |
|
$2,000,000 principal amount in an Installment Cash Promissory Note, which bore simple
annual interest at the initial rate of 7% through December 31, 2008. Thereafter the simple
interest rate increased to 10% on January 1, 2009 and will remain at 10% through the date
of maturity, which will be on the earlier of either April 1, 2009 or the filing by the
Company of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2008, |
|
|
(iii) |
|
the issuance of 1,500,000 shares on January 8, 2008 of Company common stock valued at
$1,800,000, based on the closing market price of the Companys common shares of $1.20 per
common share as a result of the acquisition of iSYS on January 4, 2008; and |
|
|
(iv) |
|
a four-year earnout provision which may require up to $6,000,000 in additional
consideration to be equally paid out in cash and common stock. The earnout amount for each
measurement year is equal to the excess of actual EBITDA over target EBITDA of $1,400,000.
In years 1-3 (beginning in 2008), the earnout amount will be equal to 67% of the excess and
in the final year 50% of the excess. The earnout is payable 50% in cash and 50% in common
stock. The Company placed 3,000,000 additional shares of Company common stock in the name
of the seller into escrow to be held subject to the satisfaction of the earnout provisions.
Amounts earned in connection with the earnout provision will be recorded as an adjustment
to the purchase price. |
F - 18
The following represent adjustments made to the purchase price under the terms of the Agreement:
|
(i) |
|
Subsequent to the closing and as a requirement of the purchase agreement between
WidePoint and iSYS, an audit of the working capital of iSYS was performed by iSYSs auditor
to determine if the minimum requirement of $2,000,000 in working capital existed at the
time of the closing of the purchase. It was determined by both parties that an excess of
$143,410 existed. The excess working capital was therefore adjusted and paid to the former
sole member of iSYS and the purchase price has been subsequently adjusted. |
|
|
(ii) |
|
As a result of attaining certain performance targets under a contractual agreement for
the purchase of the iSYS mobile telecom software, iSYS was required to pay $225,000 in
additional payments that were earned in 2008. These payments represent the final
obligations by iSYS for the mobile telecom software and the $225,000 was therefore added to
goodwill. |
|
|
(iii) |
|
As a result of attaining certain earnout provisions for year one of the earnout the
Company recognized additional purchase price consideration of $223,629, which consisted of
$184,817 payable in cash and accrued for as of December 31, 2008 and 184,817 common shares
with a value of $38,812, which shares were released from escrow as of December 31, 2008. |
The aggregate purchase price including $102,722 of acquisition costs, purchase price adjustments
for net working capital and year one earnout amounts was $9,494,761. The allocation of the purchase
price was based upon managements estimates and assumptions. The following table summarizes the
estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the latest available
information on iSYS, at January 8, 2008:

The operations of iSYS were included in the Companys results of operations beginning on January 4,
2008, the acquisition date. The factors resulting in goodwill were iSYSs name, reputation, and
established key personnel. None of the goodwill will be deductible for tax purposes.
F - 19
The accompanying consolidated pro forma information gives effect to the iSYS acquisition as if it
had occurred on January 1, 2007 and its results of operations were included in the year ended
December 31, 2007 for the full period. The pro forma information is included only for purposes of
illustration and does not necessarily indicate what the Companys operating results would have been
had the acquisition of iSYS been completed on January 1, 2007. Stock compensation
expense of approximately $400,000 as the result of the issuance of stock option grants provided to
key employees of iSYS, LLC are not included in the proforma illustration.

Protexx, Inc. Asset Purchase
On July 31, 2008, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the Purchase Agreement),
by and among the Company, Protexx Acquisition Corporation, Protexx, Incorporated, Peter Letizia,
Charles B. Manuel, Jr. and William Tabor, pursuant to which Protexx Acquisition Corporation, a
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, purchased certain of the assets of Protexx, Inc., a
provider of software-based authentication and encryption solutions to government, military, first
responder and commercial enterprises. Under the terms of the Agreement, the Company paid the
following consideration at the closing of the acquisition:
|
(i) |
|
$1.00 in cash, |
|
|
(ii) |
|
the assumption of approximately $506,000, net, of assumed assets, liabilities and
direct costs associated with the asset purchase. At the time of the asset purchase Protexx
was a development stage company that did not have an established customer base and/or an
assembled workforce. Therefore the asset purchase price will be allocated to other
intangible assets, and |
|
|
(iii) |
|
a two-year earnout provision which may entitle the former owners to receive earnout
payments under the Purchase Agreement in the event that the business conducted with the
assets purchased from Protexx, Inc. exceeds specified earnings targets in calendar years
2008 and 2009. Half of any such earnout payment earned shall be paid in cash, with the
remainder to be paid in Company common stock. |
F - 20
No earnout was attained in calendar year 2008. Protexx shall have the opportunity to earn for
calendar year 2009 a maximum earnout of $4,500,000. For calendar year 2009, Protexx must meet the
minimum EBITDA target in order to qualify for any earnout amount.
The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the year ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 are as

result of the acquisition of iSYS, LLC. Management believes that as of December 31, 2008 the
carrying value of our goodwill was not impaired.

No tax benefit has been realized associated with the exercise of stock options in the years ended
December 31, 2008 and 2007 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. During the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007,
respectively, the Company recognized $563,108 and $174,716 in expense for book purposes for
stock-based compensation. The deferred tax assets (liabilities) consisted of the following as of December 31,

The Company has determined that its net deferred tax asset did not satisfy the recognition criteria
set forth in SFAS No. 109 and, accordingly, established a valuation allowance for 100 percent of
the net deferred tax asset.
The Company incurred a deferred income tax expense of approximately $157,000 for the year ended
December 31, 2008, 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. 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 future earnings and the deferred tax expense is a non-cash
expense. SFAS No. 109 requires the expected timing of future reversals of deferred tax liabilities
to be taken into account when evaluating the realizability of deferred tax assets. Therefore, the
reversal of deferred tax liabilities related to the goodwill is not to be considered a source of
future taxable income when assessing the realization of deferred tax assets. Because the Company
has a valuation allowance for the full amount of the deferred income tax asset, the deferred income
liability associated with the tax deductible goodwill has been recorded and not offset against
existing deferred income tax assets.
As of December 31, 2008, the Company had net operating loss carry forwards of approximately
$21,000,000 to offset future taxable income. These carry forwards expire between 2010 and
2028. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is
more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The
ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon generation of future taxable income
during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Based upon the level of
historical losses that may limit utilization of NOL carry forwards in future periods, management is
unable to predict whether these net deferred tax assets will be utilized prior to expiration. Under
the provision of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, when there has been a change in an entitys ownership
of 50 percent or greater, utilization of net operating loss carry forwards may be limited. As a
result of WidePoints equity transactions, the Companys net operating losses will be subject to
such limitations and may not be available to offset future income for tax purposes. To date the
Company has not completed a Section 382 analysis.

In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes an
interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48), which became effective for years beginning on
January 1, 2007. FIN 48 addressed the determination of how tax benefits claimed or expected to be
claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under FIN 48, the Company
must recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not
that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities, based on the
technical merits of the position. The Companys assessments of its tax positions in accordance with
FIN 48 did not result in changes that had a material impact on results of operations, financial
condition or liquidity. As of December 31, 2008 and at December 31, 2007, the Company had no
unrecognized tax benefits. While the Company does not have any interest and penalties in the years
ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Companys policy is to recognize such expenses as tax
expense.
The Company files U.S. federal income tax returns with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) as well
as income tax returns in various states. The Company may be subject to examination by the IRS for
tax years 2001 through 2008. Additionally, the Company may be subject to examinations by various
state taxing jurisdictions for tax years 2001 through 2008. The Company is currently not under
examination by the IRS or any state tax jurisdiction.
6. Stockholders Equity:
The Company is authorized to issue 110,000,000 shares of common stock, $.001 par value per share.

Common Stock
On January 8, 2008, pursuant to the terms of a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement between the
Company, iSYS, LLC and Jin Kang, dated January 4, 2008, the Company issued 1,500,000 shares of
Company common stock on January 8, 2008 at a stock price of $1.20 per common share
(based on the closing market price of the Companys common shares the issuance date) for a value of
$1,800,000. The Company also issued an additional 3,000,000 shares of Company common stock on
January 8, 2008, which shares were delivered into escrow to be held subject to the satisfaction of
certain earnout provisions under the Membership Interest Purchase Agreement, and which shares are
subject to return to the Company in the event such earnout provisions are not achieved under the
terms of the Membership Interest Purchase Agreement. Under the Membership Interest Purchase
Agreement the initial $1.4 million in earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and
amortization (EBITDA) from iSYS is excluded from the earnout for the initial 3 years, with 66% of
the value in excess of such initial $1.4 million being paid to the former owner of iSYS, with 50%
of the amount being paid in cash and 50% being valued and released in escrow shares. In the fourth
year the value in excess of 50% is used instead of 66%, with the total earnout capped at $6
million, with $3 million payable in cash and $3 million payable in the release of earnout shares.
Performance of the earnout is measured annually and awarded within 30 days following the end of the
Companys fiscal year and filing of the Companys Form 10-K for that year. As of December 31, 2008
performance measures were attained allowing for the release of 184,817 common shares valued at
$1.00 per common share from the common shares placed into escrow at the time of the acquisition of
iSYS by the Company.
On April 29, 2008, the Company entered into a Common Stock Purchase Agreement (Purchase
Agreement) with Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch (Deutsche Bank), and related agreements, as part
of a private equity financing to raise additional funds for working capital. Under the Purchase
Agreement, Deutsche Bank agreed to purchase 2,500,000 shares of WidePoint common stock for a total
purchase price of $2,550,000, or $1.02 per share. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company
issued 2,500,000 shares of its common stock to Deutsche Bank on May 2, 2008. The offer and sale of
the shares were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in reliance on the
private offering exemption provided under Section 4(2) thereof.
On May 16, 2008, the Company entered into two Common Stock Purchase Agreements (collectively, the
Endurance Purchase Agreements) with Endurance Partners, L.P. and Endurance Partners (Q.P), L.P.,
and related agreements, as part of a private equity financing to raise additional funds for working
capital. Under the Endurance Purchase Agreements, Endurance Partners, L.P. agreed to purchase
428,954 shares of WidePoint common stock for a total purchase price of $437,533, or $1.02 per
share, and Endurance Partners (Q.P.), L.P. agreed to purchase 1,071,046 shares of WidePoint common
stock for a total purchase price of $1,092,467, or $1.02 per share. Pursuant to the Endurance
Purchase Agreements, on May 19,
2008, the Company issued 428,954 shares of its common stock to Endurance Partners, L.P. and
1,071,046 shares of its common stock to Endurance Partners (Q.P.), L.P. The offer and sale of the
shares were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in reliance on the
private offering exemption provided under Section 4(2) thereof.

As a result of the equity transactions to raise additional capital that we entered into during the
second quarter of 2008, the Company issued a combined cumulative total of 4,000,000 common shares
of the Company which provided gross proceeds of approximately $4.1 million, and net proceeds after
various legal and other expenses of $3.9 million.
On July 31, 2008, pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement between the Company, Protexx
Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation, Protexx Incorporated, a Delaware corporation
(Protexx), and Peter Letizia, Charles B. Manuel, Jr. and William Tabor, the Company issued 2.5
million shares of its common stock in the name of Protexx and delivered such shares to the parties
escrow agent to be held in escrow pending the possible release of such shares as part of the
potential earnout to which Protexx may be entitled under the Purchase Agreement for calendar year
2008. The 2008 earnout was not attained. For calendar year 2009, Protexx shall have the
opportunity to earn an additional Two Million Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($2,250,000) worth
of privately issued shares of WidePoint common stock as part of the earnout for that calendar year.
The maximum number of shares of WidePoint common stock that Protexx shall have the opportunity to
earn for calendar year 2009 shall be equal to the number of shares of WidePoint common stock that
results from Two Million Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($2,250,000) divided by the greater of
(x) One Dollar and Twenty-Five Cents ($1.25) or (y) the average closing sale price of the WidePoint
common stock for the twenty (20) trading days immediately preceding December 31, 2009.
Stock Warrants
On November 1, 2005, the Company issued a warrant to purchase 54,878 shares to Hawk Associates as
part of a consulting agreement in which Hawk Associates agreed to act as the Companys investor
relations representative. The warrant has a term of 5 years. We are accounting for this award in
accordance with EITF 96-18.
On October 27, 2004 and November 22, 2004, the Company issued two warrants to purchase 30,612
shares and 5,556 shares, respectively, to Liberty Capitol as part of a consulting agreement in
which Liberty Capitol assisted the Company in arranging its senior debt financing with RBC-Centura
Bank. The warrants have a term of 5 years. The Company used a fair-value option pricing model to
value these stock warrants at approximately $14,291. This value has been reflected as part of stock
warrants in the stockholders equity section of the consolidated balance sheet.

7. Stock Options and Stock-Based Compensation:
2008 Stock Incentive Plan
Effective December 18, 2007, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted the 2008 Stock Incentive
Plan (the 2008 Plan), which was adopted by the Companys shareholders on December 18, 2008. The
2008 Plan is intended to replace the 1997 Stock Incentive Plan and the 1997 Directors Formula Stock
Option Plan, discussed below. The 2008 Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee and
authorizes the grant or award of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, stock
appreciation rights, dividend equivalent rights, performance unit awards and phantom shares. The
2008 Plan is intended to (a) provide incentive to officers and key employees of the Company and its
affiliates to stimulate their efforts toward the continued success of the Company and to operate
and manage the business in a manner that will provide for the long-term growth and profitability of
the Company; (b) encourage stock ownership by directors, officers and key employees by providing
them with a means to acquire a proprietary interest in the Company, acquire shares of the Companys
common stock, or to receive compensation which is based upon appreciation in the value of the
Companys common tock; and (c) provide a means of obtaining, rewarding and retaining key personnel
and consultants. The 2008 Plan will terminate on December 17, 2017.
A total of 6,015,438 shares of common stock are authorized for possible issuance under the 2008
Plan. There were 4,535,438 shares available for issuance under the 2008 Plan at December 31, 2008.
Of such shares, 4,535,438 shares can be issued for future grants. At December 31, 2008, options to
purchase a total of 1,480,000 shares of common stock, at prices ranging from $0.81 to $1.22 per
share, were outstanding.
1997 Stock Incentive Plan
In May 1997, the Company adopted the 1997 Stock Incentive Plan (the 1997 Plan). The purpose of
the 1997 Plan was to provide additional compensation to employees, officers, and consultants of the
Company or its affiliates. Under the terms of the 1997 Plan, as amended, 10,000,000 shares of
common stock were reserved for issuance as incentive awards under the 1997 Plan. The number of
shares of Company common stock associated with any forfeited stock incentive were added back to the
number of shares that could be issued under the 1997 Plan. Awards under the 1997 Plan and their
terms were determined by a committee (the Committee) that was selected by the Board of Directors.
The 1997 Plan permitted the Committee to make awards of a variety of equity-based incentives
(collectively, Stock Incentives).
The 1997 Plan allowed for the grant of incentive stock options and nonqualified stock options. The
exercise price of the options was established by the Committee. The term of an option will be
specified in the applicable agreement, provided, however, that no option could be exercised ten
years after the date of grant. In addition to stock options, the 1997 Plan also allowed for the
grant of other Stock Incentives, including stock appreciation rights, stock awards, phantom shares,
performance unit appreciation rights and dividend equivalent rights. Stock Incentives granted
under the 1997 Plan are subject to the terms prescribed by the Committee in accordance with the
provisions of the 1997 Plan.
No further awards will be made under the 1997 Plan.
F - 28
1997 Directors Formula Stock Option Plan
In May 1997, the Company adopted the 1997 Directors Formula Stock Option Plan (the Director
Plan). The Company reserved 120,000 shares of common stock to underlie stock options granted
under the Director Plan. Any shares associated with forfeited options were added back to the
number of shares that underlie stock options to be granted under the Director Plan.
Awards of stock options under the Director Plan were determined by the express terms of the
Director Plan. Generally, only non-employee directors of the Company who did not perform services
for the Company were eligible to participate in the Director Plan. The Director Plan provided for
option grants to purchase 12,000 shares of common stock upon a non-employee directors initial
appointment to the Board of Directors. Options granted under the Director Plan vest immediately to
8,000 shares of common stock underlying such options, vest to an additional 2,000 shares after the

9. Segment reporting:
Segments are defined by SFAS No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related
Information, as components of a company in which separate financial information is available and
is evaluated by the chief operating decision maker, or a decision making group, in deciding how to
allocate resources and in assessing performance.
During 1998, the Company adopted SFAS No. 131 and until December 31, 2005 the Company was comprised
of a single segment, which was comprised of our consulting services segment within our Commercial
and Federal Government Marketplaces. As of January 1, 2006, the Company added a second segment,
which consists of PKI credentialing and managed services. The PKI credentialing and managed
services segment provides PKI credentialing and managed services to U.S. federal agencies and
federal contractors as a result of regulatory compliance requirements.
Segment operating income consists of the revenues generated by a segment, less the direct costs of
revenue and selling, general and administrative costs that are incurred directly by the segment.
Unallocated corporate costs include costs related to administrative functions that are performed in
a centralized manner that are not attributable to a particular segment. These administrative
function costs include costs for corporate office support, all office facility costs, costs
relating to accounting and finance, human resources, legal, marketing, information technology and
company-wide business development functions, as well as costs related to overall corporate
management.
The following table sets forth selected segment and consolidated operating results and other

Employment Agreements
and Compensation Arrangements; Termination and Change in Control Provisions
The
following describes the terms of employment agreements between the Company and the named
executive officers and sets forth information regarding potential payments upon
termination of employment or a change in control of the Company.
Mr. Komar. On
July 1, 2002, we entered into an employment agreement with Steve Komar, our
Chief Executive Officer and President. The employment agreement had an initial
term expiring on July 1, 2003 with five renewable one-year options remaining.
On July 25, 2008, the Company entered into an addendum to the employment
agreement that provided that Mr. Komars employment agreement shall be
extended by one year and provided for an additional one year extension. The
agreement provides for (1) a base salary of $40,000 per year, which was
increased to $180,000 per year in 2008, (2) a home office/automobile expense
allowance of $500 per month to cover such expenses incurred in the pursuit of
our business; (3) a phone allowance of $100 per month to cover such expenses
incurred in the pursuit of our business; (4) reimbursement for additional
actual business expenses consistent with our existing policies that have been
incurred for our benefit; (5) paid medical and other benefits consistent with
our existing policies with respect to our key executives, as such policies may
be amended from time to time in the future; and (6) performance incentive
bonuses as may be granted annually at the discretion of the Compensation
Committee of the Board of Directors.
The
employment agreement also contains termination and change of control provisions as a
result of (a) Mr. Komars death or permanent disability which renders him unable to
perform his duties hereunder (as determined by the Company in its good faith judgment),
(b) by Mr. Komars resignation upon the expiration of the Employment Period, provided
that Mr. Komar gives at least 90 days prior written notice to the Company, (c) the
termination of his employment at the convenience of the Board of Directors of the Company
by unanimous consent (excluding the consent of Mr. Komar if Mr. Komar is also a director
of the Company at that time) with at least 90 days notice to be provided by the Company to
Mr. Komar prior to the expiration of the Employment Period, (d) a change in control of
more than 50% of the outstanding shares of the Company, (e) a sale or other disposition of
a majority of the Companys base IT Staff Augmentation business, (f) the insolvency
of the Company, or (g) a termination by the Company for Cause. In the event Mr. Komar is
not in breach of the employment agreement and the Employment Period is terminated prior to
the expiration of the then current term, then in certain events, termination payments may
become payable by the Company as set forth in more detail below. In the event of the death
or permanent disability of Mr. Komar, $50,000 shall be paid to Mr. Komar or his estate and
all granted but unvested stock options shall be immediately vested and the period of
exercise extended for an additional 2 years.
In
the event of Mr. Komars resignation, no termination payments or accelerated vesting
of stock options shall occur. In the event of termination at the election of the Company,
then $250,000 will be due and payable by the Company to Mr. Komar as a severance payment,
which payment will be paid in 12 equal installment payments of $20,833.33 each over the
immediately subsequent 12 months following such date of termination and all awarded but
unvested stock options shall be immediately vested and the period of exercise extended for
the then remaining term of the option as provided under the option agreement. In the event
of a termination occurring as a result of a change in control of more than 50% of the
outstanding shares of the Company, then $250,000 will be payable by the Company to Mr.
Komar as a severance payment, which payment will be paid in one lump-sum payment within 30
days of the date of such termination and all awarded but unvested stock options shall be
immediately vested and the period of exercise extended for the then remaining term of the
option as provided under the option agreement. In the event of termination as a result of
a sale or other disposition of a majority of the Companys base IT Staff Augmentation
business, then $250,000 will be payable by the Company to Mr. Komar as a severance
payment, which payment will be paid in one lump-sum payment within 30 days of the date of
such termination and all awarded but unvested stock options shall be immediately vested
and the period of exercise extended for the then remaining term of the option as provided
under the option agreement. In the event of a change of control of more than 50% of the
outstanding shares of the Company that allows for the continuance of employment under his
agreement, then a $100,000 lump sum payment is immediately due to Mr. Komar, and any
future payments under this agreement for termination as a result of a change of control
greater than 50% of the outstanding shares of the Company or in the event of termination
as a result of a sale or other disposition of a majority of the Companys base IT
Staff Augmentation business shall result in a $150,000 payment to Mr. Komar. In the event
of the insolvency of the Company while Mr. Komar is employed by the Company as Chief
Executive Officer or similar position of control, then all obligations under this
Agreement will immediately terminate except that the Company shall pay to Mr. Komar a
termination payment of $50,000.00 on such date of termination of employment and no further
compensation or other payments beyond the insolvency date will be due or payable to Mr.
Komar by the Company. In the event of a termination for Cause, no payments will be due or
payable by the Company to Mr. Komar. Cause shall mean (i) the repeated failure or refusal
of Mr. Komar to follow the lawful directives of the Company or its designee (except due to
sickness, injury or disabilities), (ii) gross inattention to duty or any other willful,
reckless or grossly negligent act (or omission to act) by Mr. Komar, which, in the good
faith judgment of the Company, materially injures the Company, including the repeated
failure to follow the policies and procedures of the Company, (iii) a material breach of
this Agreement by Mr. Komar which is not cured within a 60 day period following formal
notification by the Company, or (iv) the commission by Mr. Komar of an act of financial
dishonesty against the Company that results in the conviction of a felony.
Mr.
McCubbin. On July 1, 2002, we entered into an
employment agreement with James McCubbin, our Chief Financial Officer. The

renewable one-year options remaining. On July 25, 2008 the Company entered into
an addendum to the employment agreement that provided that Mr. McCubbins

additional one year extension. The agreement provides for (1) a base salary of
$119,000 per year, which was increased to $180,000 in 2008, (2) a home
office/automobile expense allowance of $500 per month to cover such expenses
incurred in the pursuit of our business; (3) reimbursement for additional
actual business expenses consistent with our existing policies that have been
incurred for our benefit; (4) paid medical and other benefits consistent with
our existing policies with respect to our key executives, as such policies may
be amended from time to time in the future; and (5) performance incentive
bonuses as may be granted annually at the discretion of the Compensation
Committee of the Board of Directors.
The
employment agreement also contained termination and change of control provisions as a
result of (a) Mr. McCubbins death or permanent disability which renders Mr.
McCubbin unable to perform his duties hereunder (as determined by the Company in its good
faith judgment), (b) Mr. McCubbins resignation upon the expiration of the
Employment Period, provided that Mr. McCubbin gives at least 90 days prior written notice
to the Company, (c) the termination of his employment at the convenience of the Board of
Directors of the Company by unanimous consent (excluding the consent of Mr. McCubbin if
he is also a director of the Company at that time) with at least 90 days notice to be
provided by the Company to Mr. McCubbin prior to the expiration of the Employment Period,
(d) a change in control of more than 50% of the outstanding shares of the Company, (e) a
sale or other disposition of a majority of the Companys base IT Staff Augmentation
business, (f) the insolvency of the Company, or (g) a termination by the Company for
Cause.
In
the event Mr. McCubbin is not in breach of this Agreement and the Employment Period is
terminated prior to the expiration of the then current term, then in certain events as
described below, termination payments may become payable by the Company. In the event of
the death or permanent disability of Mr. McCubbin, $50,000 shall be paid to Mr. McCubbin
or his estate and all granted but unvested stock options shall be immediately vested and
the period of exercise extended for an additional 2 years. In the event of Mr. McCubbins
resignation, no termination payments or accelerated vesting of stock options shall occur.
In the event of termination at the election of the Company, then $125,000 will be due and
payable by the Company to Mr. McCubbin as a severance payment, which payment will be paid
in 12 equal installment payments of $10,416.66 each over the immediately subsequent 12
months following such date of termination and all awarded but unvested stock options
shall be immediately vested and the period of exercise extended for the then remaining
term of the option as provided under the option agreement. In the event of a termination
occurring as a result of a change in control of more than 50% of the outstanding shares
of the Company, then $250,000 will be payable by the Company to Mr. McCubbin as a
severance payment, which payment will be paid in one lump-sum payment within 30 days of
the date of such termination and all awarded but unvested stock options shall be
immediately vested and the period of exercise extended for the then remaining term of the
option as provided under the option agreement. In the event of termination as a result of
a sale or other disposition of a majority of the Companys base IT Staff
Augmentation business, then $250,000 will be payable by the Company to Mr. McCubbin as a
severance payment, which payment will be paid in one lump-sum payment within 30 days of
the date of such termination and all awarded but unvested stock options shall be
immediately vested and the period of exercise extended for the then remaining term of the
option as provided under the option agreement. In the event of a change of control of
more than 50% of the outstanding shares of the Company that allows for the continuance of
employment under this agreement, then a $100,000 lump sum payment is immediately due to
Mr. McCubbin, and any future payments under this agreement for termination as a result of
a change of control greater than 50% of the outstanding shares of the Company or in the
event of termination as a result of a sale or other disposition of a majority of the
Companys base IT Staff Augmentation business shall result in a $150,000 payment to
Mr. McCubbin. In the event of the insolvency of the Company while Mr. McCubbin is
employed by the Company as Chief Financial Officer or similar position of control, then
all obligations under this Agreement will immediately terminate except that the Company
shall pay to Mr. McCubbin a termination payment of $50,000 on such date of termination of
employment and no further compensation or other payments beyond the insolvency date will
be due or payable to Mr. McCubbin by the Company. In the event of a termination for

procedures of the Company, (iii) a material breach of this Agreement by Mr. McCubbin
which is not cured by Employee within a 60 day period following formal notification by
the Company, or (iv) the commission by Mr. McCubbin of an act of financial dishonesty

with other cost cutting measures and the termination of other employees at such office
being first considered and instituted as determined in the sole judgment of WidePoint
prior to the termination of Mr. Oxley; provided, however, that in the event WidePoint
terminates Mr. Oxley for a proper business purpose, then (I) the scope of the
non-compete set forth in the employment agreement shall be limited to the products and
services offered by WidePoint as of the termination of Mr. Oxley and (II) WidePoint shall
pay to Mr. Oxley the lesser of (A) Mr. Oxleys salary and benefits each month for
the 6 month period immediately following such termination or (B) in the event less than 6

attempt to influence any then existing or targeted customers, clients or
suppliers of WidePoint to curtail any business they are currently, or in the

CERTAIN
RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE. |
A
related person transaction is a consummated or currently proposed transaction in which we
were or are to be a participant and the amount involved exceeds $120,000, and in which a
related person (i.e., any director or executive officer or nominee for director, or any
member of the immediate family of such person) has or will have a direct or indirect
material interest.
The
Company was not a participant in any related person transactions since the beginning of
the Companys last fiscal year and no such transactions are currently proposed with
the exception that the Company in January 2008 completed the closing of the acquisition of
all the issued and outstanding membership interests of iSYS, LLC from Mr. Jin Kang, the
sole owner-member of iSYS, pursuant to the terms of a Membership Interest Purchase
Agreement, dated as of January 2, 2008, between the Company, iSYS, and Jin Kang. Mr. Kang
presently serves at the President of iSYS, LLC. Pursuant to the terms of the Membership
Interest Purchase Agreement, the Company paid Jin Kang the following consideration at the
closing: (i) $5,000,000 in cash, (ii) $2,000,000 principal amount in an Installment Cash
Promissory Note, which bore simple annual interest at the initial rate of 7% through
December 31, 2008, and thereafter the simple interest rate was increased to 10% from
January 1, 2009 through the date of maturity, which occurred on the filing by the Company
of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2008 on March 31, 2009,
and (iii) the issuance of 1,500,000 shares of Company common stock. The Company also
issued an additional 3,000,000 shares of Company common stock in the name of Jin Kang,
which shares were delivered into escrow to be held subject to the satisfaction of certain
earnout provisions under the Membership Interest Purchase Agreement, and which shares are
subject to return to the Company in the event such earnout provisions are not achieved
under the terms of the Membership Interest Purchase Agreement. In July of 2008, upon the
completion of an audit of the working capital of iSYS at December 31, 2007, the Company
paid to Mr. Kang approximately $143,000 to reconcile an overage of working capital
delivered to the Company at December 31, 2007. The Company also paid to Mr. Kang in March
2009 $2,186,000 in satisfaction of the above-referenced Installment Cash Promissory Note
between the Company and Mr. Kang, which included $2,000,000 for the principal balance of
the note and approximately $186,000 in interest. The Company also paid to Mr. Kang in
April 2009 approximately $185,000 as a result of meeting certain earnout provisions
between the Company and Mr. Kang as well as released approximately 185,000 common shares
from the 3,000,000 common shares presently held in escrow. Under the terms of the
Membership Interest Purchase Agreement, Jin Kang also entered into an Employment and
Non-Compete Agreement, dated as of January 4, 2008.
The
Companys Corporate Governance Guidelines state that the Board intends that, at
all times, a substantial majority of its directors will be considered independent under
relevant NYSE AMEX and SEC guidelines. The Corporate Governance and Nominating
Committee conducts an annual review of the independence of the members of the Board and
its Committees and reports its findings to the full Board. Based on the report and
recommendation of the Corporate Governance Committee, the Board has determined that each
of the non-employee directors Messrs. Taubman, Ritter, Norwood, and
Guenthersatisfies the independence criteria set forth in the applicable NYSE AMEX
listing standards and SEC rules. Each Board Committee consists entirely of independent,
non-employee directors.
For
a director to be considered independent, the Board must determine that the director does
not have any direct or indirect material relationships (including vendor, supplier,
consulting, legal, banking, accounting, charitable and family relationships) with
WidePoint, other than as a director and shareholder. NYSE AMEX listing standards also
impose certain per se bars to independence, which are based upon a directors
relationships with WidePoint currently and during the three years preceding the
Boards determination of independence.
The
Board considered all relevant facts and circumstances in making its determinations,
including the following:
|
|
No
non-employee director receives any direct compensation from WidePoint other than under
WidePoints director compensation program. |
|
|
No
immediate family member (within the meaning of the NYSE AMEX listing standards) of any
non-employee director is an employee of WidePoint or otherwise receives direct
compensation from WidePoint. |
|
|
No
non-employee director (or any of their respective immediate family members) is affiliated
with or employed in a professional capacity by WidePoints independent accountants. |
|
|
No
non-employee director is a member, partner, or principal of any law firm, accounting firm
or investment banking firm that receives any consulting, advisory or other fees from
WidePoint. |
|
|
No
WidePoint executive officer is on the compensation committee of the board of directors of
a company that employs any of our non-employee directors (or any of their respective
immediate family members) as an executive officer. |
|
|
No
non-employee director (or any of their respective immediate family members) is indebted
to WidePoint, nor is WidePoint indebted to any non-employee director (or any of their
respective immediate family members). |
|
|
No
non-employee director serves as an executive officer of a charitable or other tax-exempt
organization that received contributions from WidePoint. |
Non-management
members of the Board of Directors conduct at least two regularly-scheduled meetings per
year without members of management being present. Mr. Ritter serves as the presiding
director of such meetings. Following an executive session of non-employee directors, the
presiding director may act as a liaison between the non-employee directors and the
Chairman, provide the Chairman with input regarding agenda items for Board and Committee
meetings, and coordinate with the Chairman regarding information to be provided to the
non-employee directors in performing their duties.
ITEM 14. |

The
Company paid Moss Adams approximately $143,000 and $94,000 in audit and review fees

Moss Adams in 2009 approximately $80,000 in audit fees for work associated with the
Companys fiscal 2008 audit. |
|
The

|
The
Company did not pay Moss Adams LLP any tax fees for fiscal year 2008 or 2007. |
|
The

Audit Committee Policies
and Procedures For Pre-Approval of Independent Auditor Services
The
following describes the Audit Committees policies and procedures regarding
pre-approval of the engagement of the Companys independent auditor to perform audit
as well as permissible non-audit services for the Company.
For
audit services, the independent auditor will provide the Committee with an engagement
letter during the March-May quarter of each year outlining the scope of the audit services
proposed to be performed in connection with the audit of the current fiscal year. If
agreed to by the Committee, the engagement letter will be formally accepted by the
Committee at an Audit Committee meeting held as practicably as possible following receipt
of the engagement letter. The independent auditor will submit to the Committee for
approval an audit services fee proposal after acceptance of the engagement letter.
For
non-audit services, Company management may submit to the Committee for approval (during
May through September of each fiscal year) the list of non-audit services that it
recommends the committee engage the independent auditor to provide for the fiscal year.
The list of services must be detailed as to the particular service and may not call for
broad categorical approvals. Company management and the independent auditor will each
confirm to the Audit Committee that each non-audit service on the list is permissible
under all applicable legal requirements. In addition to the list of planned non-audit
services, a budget estimating non-audit service spending for the fiscal year may be
provided. The Committee will consider for approval both the list of permissible non-audit
services and the budget for such services. The Committee will be informed routinely as to
the non-audit services actually provided by the independent auditor pursuant to this
pre-approval process.
To
ensure prompt handling of unexpected matters, the Audit Committee delegates to its
Chairperson the authority to amend or modify the list of approved permissible non-audit
services and fees. The Chairperson will report any action taken pursuant to this
delegation to the Committee at its next meeting.
All
audit and non-audit services provided to the Company are required to be pre-approved by
the Committee. The Chief Financial Officer of the Company will be responsible for tracking
all independent auditor fees against the budget for such services and report at least
annually to the Audit Committee.
