Company Overview
WidePoint Corporation is a leading provider of federally certified secure identity management and communications management solutions into the government and commercial sectors. We offer a core set of enterprise-based solutions to enable organizations to deploy fully compliant solutions in accordance with government requirements and the demands of the commercial marketplace. Our on-demand workforce mobility communications platforms are a suite of advanced and federally certified proprietary cloud-based software solutions. These platforms are designed to enable secure identity management and manage the complex processes and expenses associated with complex communication assets and services of any enterprise. Our advanced technology-based solutions can be customized to meet functional requirements of any organization and are accessible on-demand through the cloud. We believe that, in contrast, many of our competitor’s solutions lack the necessary functionality, security, reliability and depth of technical resources required to successfully administer an efficient and cost-effective solution.

Industry Background and Trends
The identity assurance and communications management industries have increasingly converged over the last 10 years as a direct result of the proliferation of mobile computing and communications devices. Advances in communications technology significantly improved the storage, speed and frequency of communications and the complexity of these devices but also simultaneously increased the level of technical expertise and resources required to protect an organization’s valuable communications assets and data. These advances raise security concerns that extend well beyond the traditional enterprise network infrastructure further exposing enterprises to business and regulatory and compliance risk. Examples include wireless workstations, personal digital assistants, mobile hot spots, cloud-based video conferencing, converged voice and data for fixed and mobile communications, virtual networking, and other blue tooth enabled devices. The continued evolution and convergence of mobile computing and communications devices will further change the way in which our government, businesses and individuals communicate, conduct business, collaborate and share information across their respective environments.
A company’s communications infrastructure can be a valuable asset to the organization in terms of the data capture and potential business intelligence from the use of its proprietary information. Enterprises are faced with the growing complexity of securely and efficiently managing a wide variety of mobile computing and communications devices utilized by their mobile workforce. The management and oversight of these devices can be expensive and complicated due to the variety of service plans and features offered; significant differences in software technologies and infrastructure requirements for these devices; the growing complexity of communications bills; and recent trends to permit employees to utilize their personal devices to conduct company business.
Many enterprises are managing this risk by procuring secure communications solutions offered by cloud-based providers thus avoiding the additional infrastructure costs associated with an on premise solution and the cost of hiring expertise in-house to manage the process. Our solutions can provide a significant return on investment by enabling our client’s to securely manage their mobile workforce and efficiently manage the total life cycle of their valuable communications assets and services throughout the world.
Within the commercial marketplace we are witnessing the expansion of the use of our technologies to address safe and secure managed mobility solutions. We anticipate that with the adoption of cloud-based services the need to adopt stronger and more secure and cost-effective solutions that both protect our clients’ critical infrastructure and expand our clients’ workforce mobility initiatives.
After a decade of uninterrupted growth in federal spending, we have witnessed mounting national budget deficits and indebtedness that are resulting in a constriction in the level of federal spending growth that may cause a contraction in current and future government expenditure levels. Recognizing this new reality in federal procurement, we expect our federal customers to be motivated to minimize costs in this challenging environment that may result in lower profit margins across the federal contracting industry in whole. However, we believe that the federal government’s spending will remain robust in key areas in which WidePoint is well positioned, including mobile telecommunications capabilities that serve to reduce and optimize spending; and in select cyber security initiatives that support trusted, cloud-based, secured-transmission solutions to both protect our critical communications and infrastructure, and to do so in a cost-justified manner.
2 |
Reflecting these priorities, we believe that WidePoint's products and services are reasonably positioned to weather most of the expected spending constraints that are now being experienced within the federal marketplace.
Our Solutions by Segment
During 2012, we initiated a functional management reorganization that focused on repositioning key management resources and strategic offerings into one segment, rather than multiple segments. In 2013, we will continue implementing this reorganization plan and will be managing and reporting our operations as a singular segment in the future. We currently manage our solutions and measure returns based on three business segments as follows: Managed Mobility Solutions, Cybersecurity Solutions, and Consulting and Support Services.
Managed Mobility Solutions
We offer a complementary set of streamlined mobile communications solutions using our proprietary cloud-based portal to enable our clients to actively manage their telecommunications assets and expenses in an efficient and cost-effective manner in a safe and secure environment. This portal provides our clients with on-demand access to manage and control deployment of their communications assets and telecommunications expenses associated with supporting the functional requirements of their mobile workforce. In addition, this portal identifies issues that impact our clients’ workflow and business models. Our suite of managed solutions allows our clients to select a single source solution that enables them to establish a viable standard process that focuses on the goals of the client’s entire organization. Our core set of managed solutions are set forth below:
§ | Business intelligence and reporting portal services – Customized dash boards and reports to manage the organization’s communication assets and expenses and potential misuses and threats to the organization’s overall communications environment. We provide a variety of standard reports that provide data for ongoing periodic reviews and strategic decision-making. |
§ | Order management and procurement services – Streamlined order management, procurement and deployment of communications assets throughout the organization. |
§ | Asset deployment and management – Streamlined tracking of communications assets and redeployment programs for lost, damaged or stolen communications assets throughout the organization anywhere in the world. |
§ | Helpdesk support services – Centralized helpdesk function and technical troubleshooting available on a 24/7 basis. |
§ | Invoice and contract management services – Combination of traditional telecom invoice auditing function with an accounts payable integration component to streamline processing and payment of corrected communications carrier services. |
§ | Bands of minutes – Customized selection and delivery of all available voice, data, and message plans offered by the carriers that best fit the users of the devices so that organizations only pay for the services they utilize on a monthly basis. This service enables organizations to effectively manage their current inventory and control new procurements. |
3 |
§ | Carrier invoice and usage auditing services – Communications carrier invoice auditing of historical billings to identify invalid service billings and other credits associated with customer spend. Audit of employee utilization of communications assets to optimize usage and identify cost-savings opportunities. |
§ | Sourcing management services – Contract negotiation with communications carriers, suppliers and related products and services. |
We believe that telecom resources are extremely valuable assets in terms of both equipment and information capture. We build solutions that ensure the privacy of both corporate and personal information. Our centralized approach helps to prevent security breaches. In addition, we find that our telecom services can generally save our clients 30% to 65% of their current communications costs.
Cybersecurity Solutions
Identity assurance is increasingly important with mobile computing and communications devices used by a growing mobile workforce and the proliferation of e-commerce and other sensitive transactions conducted using personal communications devices. Enterprises conducting business through e-commerce, online banking and trading, Internet-based enterprise solutions for process automation, or digital signature enablement will require a secure identity assurance solution in today’s cloud-based environment to protect the business against the growing risk of cyber fraud and other schemes designed to deprive an enterprise and its customer of their valuable assets.
We believe we are positioned at the forefront of implementing solutions that provide our clients with a secure communications methodologies. We offer a complementary set of compliant identity management solutions to provide our customers’ with the ability to protect their valuable communications assets and provide secured virtual and physical access to restricted environments. We have significant operational experience and subject matter expertise in all facets of identity proofing, credential issuing and public key infrastructure technology. Our core set of secure identity managed solutions are set forth below:
§ | Certificate credentials – We have been certified by the federal government (through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Operational Research Consultants, Inc. (“ORC”)) to facilitate public access to the services offered by government agencies, 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, General Services Administration (“GSA”) and participating federal government agencies. Our digital certificate credential services include the DoD External Certificate Authority, Access Certificates for Electronic Services, and the General Services Administration Shared Service Provider. These credentials can be used to: |
o | Authenticate to government and organization websites containing “Sensitive But Unclassified information;” |
o | Contract for the purchase of goods or services; |
o | Verify the identity of electronic mail correspondents; |
o | Verify the identity of web/application servers; |
o | Verify the identity of individuals accessing data servers; and |
o | Verify the integrity of software and documents posted on data servers. |
4 |
Technical consulting services – We also provide an analysis of an organization’s 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 implement these capabilities by incorporating higher levels of automated infrastructure. Our implementation services enable an organization to quickly deploy a fully operational system, 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.

Strategy
Our objective is to grow our business profitably as a premier technology-based provider of product and service solutions to both the public and private sectors with an emphasis on growing our Managed Mobility Solutions and Cybersecurity Solutions. Our strategies for achieving our objective to grow our business profitably include the following:
1. | Retain and Cross-Sell Existing Customer Base |
Many of our professional staff work on-site or work in close proximity with our customers and we develop close customer relationships and are often able to enhance our customers’ operations by rapidly identifying and developing solutions for customer-specific requirements. We intend to continue to deliver product and service solutions to meet or exceed customer expectations and recommend complementary product and service solutions that will meet the business objectives of our customers.
2. | Attract New Customers by Referral and Expertise |
We intend to leverage our long-term relationships with our existing customers to reach new customers in our target market. We also intend to use our reputation within the federal, state and local government agencies and corporate customers to attract new customers.
3. | Growth Opportunities in Target Markets |
We believe that the increased focus on efficient use of financial resources in the public and private sectors creates an opportunity for continued growth in identity management services and communications based management services. Our ability to deliver savings may present additional opportunities to provide management and delivery of secure and advanced technology solutions for enterprise applications and information systems. We will continue to develop our sales and marketing infrastructure and channels to drive new customer growth opportunities in our target market.
4. | Preparing our Infrastructure for Growth |
We continue to develop our operational competencies and disciplines to allow us to both support existing and growth opportunities. We will continue to strengthen our financial infrastructure to support the general and administrative requirements attributable to our growth strategies.
6 |
5. | Attracting, Training and Retaining Highly Skilled Professionals |
We continue to attract, train and retain highly 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 and challenging assignments.
6. | Pursuing Strategic Acquisitions |
We are focused primarily on acquiring businesses that provide value-added solutions for our present service offerings and customer base. We will also selectively pursue strategic acquisitions of businesses that can cost-effectively further broaden our domain expertise and service solutions to our customers and allow us to establish relationships with new customers or enter new target markets.
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. 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. The following table sets forth the percentage of our revenue derived from customers representing 10% or more of our consolidated revenues for the years ended:
DECEMBER 31 | ||||||||
2012 | 2011 | |||||||
As a % of | As a % of | |||||||
Customer Name | Revenues | Revenues | ||||||
Transportation Security Administration (“TSA”) | 19 | % | 23 | % | ||||
Department of Homeland Security (“DHS”) | 15 | % | 27 | % |
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 would have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. In future periods, we will focus on diversifying our revenue by increasing the number of commercial customer contracts.
Marketing and Sales
We focus our sales and marketing efforts on targeting federal, state and local government agencies 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. We market our solutions through our direct sales force and alliances with several strategic partners in specific industries. The direct sales force, in concert with our engagement and operations managers, is responsible for providing highly responsive, quality service and ensuring client satisfaction. Strategic partnerships and alliances provide us with additional access to potential clients.
7 |
Research and Development
We engage in certain research and development activities to develop customized software, IT processes and other appropriate products and solutions for customers in each of our business segments. In developing customized products and solutions for our customers, we work closely with our customers and are responsive to their feedback throughout the process. In addition, we have acquired assets in research and development through our strategic acquisitions. While we do engage in research and development of products and services, including customized software products for our customers, we did not have material research and development expenses in 2012 or 2011.
Intellectual Property
Our intellectual property rights are important to our business. We rely on a combination of patent, copyright, trademark, service mark, trade secret and other rights in the United States and other jurisdictions, as well as confidentiality procedures and contractual provisions to protect our proprietary technology, processes and other intellectual property. We protect our intellectual property rights in a number of ways including entering into confidentiality and other written agreements with our employees, customers, consultants and partners in an attempt to control access to and distribution of our software, documentation and other proprietary technology and other information. Despite our efforts to protect our proprietary rights, third parties may, in an unauthorized manner, attempt to use, copy or otherwise obtain and market or distribute our intellectual property rights or technology or otherwise develop software or services with the same functionality as our software and services.
U.S. patent filings are intended to provide the holder with a right to exclude others from making, using, selling or importing in the United States the inventions covered by the claims of granted patents. Our patents, including our pending patents, if granted, may be contested, circumvented or invalidated. Moreover, the rights that may be granted in those issued and pending patents may not provide us with proprietary protection or competitive advantages, and we may not be able to prevent third parties from infringing those patents. Therefore, the exact benefits of our issued patents and, if issued, our pending patents and the other steps that we have taken to protect our intellectual property cannot be predicted with certainty.
Government Contracts
We have numerous government contracts and contract vehicles. Contract vehicles include Government Wide Acquisition Contracts (“GWACs”), Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (“ID/IQ”) contracts, and Blanket Purchase Agreements (“BPAs”) based upon General Services Administration (“GSA”) Schedule rates. Our major prime contracts are with various departments of the Department of Defense (“DoD”), the Transportation Safety 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 ID/IQ contracts that extend our capability to expand our revenue base, including, but not limited to:
8 |
§ | 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 IT Schedule – 70. |
§ | The Department of Justice (“DOJ”) Information Technology Support Services (“ITSS”) 3 contract. |
§ | The SeaPort-e Contract to provide engineering, technical, and programmatic support services to the Naval Surface Warfare Centers and the Naval Undersea Warfare Centers. |
§ | The Defense Intelligence Agency Solutions for the Information Technology Enterprise (SITE) contract to provide information technology services and capabilities to the Defense Intelligence Agency, the Military Services, the U.S. Coast Guard, the Combatant Commands, the Joint Reserve Intelligence Program; and other Defense and non-Department of Defense departments or Agencies with intelligence missions, or that utilize intelligence information systems. |
§ | Subsidiaries of WidePoint are approved subcontractors for the following ID/IQ contracts: |
o | GSA Alliant Small Business |
o | GSA Networx |
o | GSA Connections II |
o | National Institutes of Health CIO-SP3 |
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.
Our contracts with the federal 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.
Seasonality
Our business is not seasonal. However, 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; as well as 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.
9 |
Competition
The competitive profiles for the services we provide vary for each of our three segments.
§ | Managed Mobility Solutions – Our key competitors in the U.S. federal marketplace currently include Profitline (which was acquired by Tangoe, Inc.) and Rivermine (which was acquired by IBM). Our key competitors in the commercial marketplace other than the above-named competitors are a large number of small-sized participants, as the marketplace remains fragmented. We believe that the major competitive factors are distinctive technical competencies, successful past contract performance, price of services, reputation for quality and key management personnel with domain expertise. |
§ | Cybersecurity Solutions – Our key competitors 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 certifications and approvals to operate within this space, successful past contract performance, price of services, reputation for quality, and key management personnel with domain expertise. |
§ | Consulting and Support Services – Our key competitors currently include divisions of large defense contractors such as Lockheed Martin Corporation, Northrop Grumman Corporation, EDS/Hewlett Packard, Unisys, Computer Services Corporation, 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. |
Employees
As of December 31, 2012, we had approximately 227 full-time employees. We periodically engage additional consultants and employ temporary employees.
The majority of 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 including electronic databases, public forums, and personal networks of friends and former co-workers.
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. We generally do not have employment contracts with our employees, but we do selectively maintain employment agreements with key employees. In addition, 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.

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.

Organizational Overview
WidePoint Corporation was incorporated on May 30, 1997 under the laws of the state of Delaware. WidePoint Corporation is a leading provider of federally certified secure identity management and communications solutions to the government and commercial sectors. We offer a core set of enterprise-based solutions to enable organizations to deploy fully compliant solutions in accordance with government requirements and the demands of the commercial marketplace. Our on-demand workforce mobility communications platforms are a suite of advanced and federally certified proprietary cloud-based software solutions designed to enable secure identity management and manage the complex processes and expenses associated with complex communication assets and services of any enterprise.
Our advanced technology-based solutions can be customized to meet functional requirements of any organization and be accessible on-demand through the cloud. Many alternative solutions lack the necessary functionality, security, reliability and depth of technical resources required to successfully administer an efficient and cost-effective solution. We are in the process of realigning our business model to sell recurring technology and services leveraging our identity and communications management platforms and sell customized on premise solutions for enterprises that require an in-house solution.
Current Trends in the Market
Our target market is characterized by rapid technological change and frequent new product and service offerings. Our largest competitors are expanding their service offerings through targeted acquisitions of specialty IT companies. There are high barriers to entry into our market space due to the specialized technical nature of our products and services delivered and scalability is essential to operating profitably. Business development requires significant expertise and deep federal and commercial networks to compete effectively against more established companies.

Our commercial customer base is sensitive to general economic conditions and regulatory and legislative actions that may affect their domestic and/or international operations. We continue to evaluate domestic and international market conditions as any significant decline in economic activity may negatively affect the financial condition of our customers and conversely their willingness to purchase additional products and services. Although there appeared to be generally improved domestic and international market conditions through fiscal 2011 and 2012, there has not been a full recovery to pre-recessionary levels and there remains uncertainty with regard to the stability of our fragile domestic recovery in fiscal 2013. Clearly there remain many challenges to address both domestically and internationally regarding weak long term job creation, volatile consumer confidence, uncertain consumer behavior, an uncertain real estate market and the regulatory and legislative environment after the U.S. presidential election.
We remain focused on continued retention and expansion of services to our existing customer base and attracting new customers in the government and commercial sectors. At the end of fiscal 2011, we increased our reach in the commercial sector with the Avalon Global Solutions, Inc. (“AGS”) asset purchase completed through our wholly-owned subsidiary WidePoint Solutions Corp. In fiscal 2012, our consolidated revenue base was more diversified between government and commercial clients and we expect that trend to continue in fiscal 2013. We intend to cross-sell additional services to AGS’s existing customer base and leverage our existing customer relationships to reach new customers worldwide. We are continuing to actively search out new synergistic acquisitions that we believe may further enhance our present base of business and service offerings.
We remain focused on efficient use of our infrastructure, optimizing our operating costs and centralizing certain functions and procedures during fiscal 2012. Our profitability depends upon both the type and volume of services performed and the Company’s ability to efficiently manage costs. Our staff consists of business process and computer specialists who help our government and civilian customers augment and expand their resident technologic skills and competencies, drive technical innovation, and help develop and maintain a competitive edge in today’s rapidly changing technological environment in business.
As a significant portion of our recurring cost structure is labor-related, we must effectively manage these costs to achieve and grow our profitability. Another significant portion of our cost structure includes our airtime plans and other vendor-related offerings under our Managed Mobility Solutions services. 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 compensation with increases in consultant fees received from its clients.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Refer to Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a summary of the Company’s significant accounting policies referenced, as applicable, to other notes. In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by U.S. GAAP and does not require management’s judgment in its application. There are also areas in which management’s judgment in selecting among available alternatives would not produce a materially different result. The Company’s senior management has reviewed these critical accounting policies and related disclosures with its Audit Committee. See Note 2 to consolidated financial statements, which contain additional information regarding accounting policies and other disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. The following section below provides information about certain critical accounting policies that are important to the Consolidated Financial Statements and that require significant management assumptions and judgments.

Business Combinations
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. The Company estimates the fair value of purchase consideration in each business combination using an acceptable valuation methodology which may include an income, market and/or cost approach. The Company assigns a provisional value on the date of purchase and engages qualified third party valuation professionals to estimate the fair value of significant assets acquired and liabilities assumed.
Purchase consideration is often paid to the seller in the form of cash, seller financed promissory notes and/or shares of common stock that may or may not contain a contingency often tied to future financial performance targets. The Company generally assesses the estimated fair value of contingent obligations using a probability weighted income approach (discounted cash flow) valuation technique which requires the use of observable and unobservable inputs. Fluctuations in the fair value of contingent obligations are impacted by two unobservable inputs, management’s estimate of the probability of the acquired company meeting the operating performance target and the estimated discount rate (a rate that approximates the Company’s weighted average cost of capital). Significant increases (decreases) in either of those inputs in isolation would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement. Fair value is assessed for contingent obligations on a quarterly basis until such contingencies have been resolved and any changes in fair value are recorded as a gain or loss on change in fair value of contingent obligations within general and administrative expense.
The Company revised its provisional value of contingent consideration paid related to the Avalon Global Solutions, Inc. (“AGS”) business combination to reflect additional information existing at the date of the AGS purchase that affected the payout probabilities used in our calculation of fair value and working capital adjustments finalized during fiscal 2012. The Company decreased its contingent obligation provisional value from $3.0 million to a final fair value $2.15 million as of December 31, 2011. The Company reassessed the fair value of contingent consideration during the year ended December 31, 2012 and recorded a non-cash gain of approximately $0.9 million to reflect a reduction in the fair value of its contingent obligation due to non-attainment of certain financial performance targets in fiscal 2012 and changes in the 2013 financial performance based on revised internal forecasts. The fair value of this contingent obligation will be reassessed quarterly until fiscal year ending December 31, 2013.
Goodwill and intangible assets often represent a significant portion of the assets acquired in a business combination. The Company recognizes the fair value of 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 Company generally assesses the estimated fair values of acquired intangibles using an income and market approach, except for internally developed software which is valued using a cost approach. The fair values of the intangible assets purchased were determined using a combination of valuation techniques. Fluctuations in the fair value of intangibles are impacted by two unobservable inputs, management’s five year forecast and the estimated discount rate (a rate that approximates the Company’s weighted average cost of capital). Significant increases (decreases) in either of those inputs in isolation would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement.
The Company had finite lived intangible assets with a carrying value of approximately $5.0 million as of December 31, 2012. The fair value of intangibles acquired in connection with business combinations continued to generate positive returns above its carrying value. Accordingly, the Company has concluded the fair value of its intangibles is not impaired at December 31, 2012. The Company could be exposed to increased risk of recoverability to the extent future revenue estimates may not support the recovery of purchased intangible assets.
Revenue Recognition
Telecommunications expense management and device management services are delivered on a monthly basis based on a standard fixed pricing scale and sensitive to significant changes in per user or device counts which form the basis for monthly charges. Revenue is recognized upon the completion of the delivery of monthly managed services based on user or device counts or other metrics. Managed services are not interdependent and there are no undelivered elements in these arrangements. If estimated user or device counts are significantly different from actual counts it could significant affect the calculation of reported monthly managed service fees.
Telecommunications carrier invoice management and payment services requires the Company to purchase bands of minutes, text messaging and data services from large carriers and optimizes these services for its mobile customers. The Company recognizes revenues and related costs on a gross basis for these arrangements as we have discretion in choosing providers, rate plans, and devices in providing the services to our customers. We establish pricing for our customer contracts. For arrangements in which we do not have such credit risk we recognize revenues and related costs on a net basis.
16 |
Telecommunications audit and optimization services are professional services conducted over a specified period of time. These professional services are billed based on time incurred and actual costs or on a contingency basis. The Company recognizes revenues in services performed based on actual hours worked and actual costs incurred. The Company recognizes contingent based service arrangements when our savings results are verified by the carrier and accepted by the customer. Contingent fees earned are calculated based on projected or proven savings times an agreed upon recovery rate. Cost associated with contingent fee arrangements are recognized as incurred.
Telecommunication mobile device and accessory resale services may require the Company to facilitate as an agent on our customers’ account or transact on our own account to deliver third party vendor products and/or services to meet our customers’ specific functional requirements. For those transactions in which we procure and deliver products and services for our own account the Company recognizes revenues and related costs on a gross basis for these arrangements as we have discretion in choosing providers, rate plans, and devices in providing the services to our customers. For those transactions in which we procure and deliver products and services for our customers’ on their own account we recognize revenues and related costs on a net basis.
Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) credentialing services are delivered as an on-demand managed service through the cloud to an individual or organization or sold in bulk to an organization capable of self-issuing credentials. Credentialing services are not bundled or include other obligations to deliver. Revenue is recognized from the sales of credentials to an individual or organization upon issuance or in the case of bulk sales or consoles upon issue or availability to the customer for issuance. There is no obligation to provide post contract services in relation to certificates issued and consoles delivered. Certificates issued have a fixed life and cannot be modified or reissued.
Network and consulting services are professional services are provided largely on a project basis based our customers’ specific requirements. These technical professional services are billed based on time incurred and actual costs. The Company recognizes revenues in services performed based on actual hours worked and actual costs incurred.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of acquisition cost of an acquired company over the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. In accordance with GAAP, goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level annually at December 31 and between annual tests if events or circumstances arise, such as adverse changes in the business climate, that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the reporting unit below its carrying value.
The Company assigns goodwill to its reporting units for the purpose of impairment testing. A reporting unit is defined as either an operating segment or a business one level below an operating segment for which discrete financial information is available that management regularly reviews.
The goodwill impairment test utilizes a two-step approach. The first step identifies whether there is potential impairment by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit to its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the second step of the impairment test is required to measure the amount of any impairment loss. The Company has the option to bypass the qualitative assessment for any reporting period and proceed to performing the first step of the two-step goodwill impairment test and then subsequently resume performing a qualitative assessment in any subsequent period. The Company bypassed using a qualitative assessment for 2012.
17 |
Goodwill impairment testing involves management judgment, requiring an assessment of whether the carrying value of the reporting unit can be supported by its fair value using widely accepted valuation techniques, such as the market approach (earnings multiples or transaction multiples for the industry in which the reporting unit operates) or the income approach discounted cash flow methods). The fair values of the reporting units were determined using a combination of valuation techniques consistent with the market approach and the income approach.
When preparing discounted cash flow models under the income approach, the Company estimates future cash flows using the reporting unit’s internal five year forecast and a terminal value calculated using a growth rate that management believes is appropriate in light of current and expected future economic conditions. The Company then applies a discount rate to discount these future cash flows to arrive at a net present value amount, which represents the estimated fair value of the reporting unit. The discount rate applied approximates the expected cost of equity financing, determined using a capital asset pricing model. The model generates an appropriate discount rate using internal and external inputs to value future cash flows based on the time value of money and the price for bearing the uncertainty inherent in an investment.
The Company has approximately $16.6 million of goodwill as of December 31, 2012. The fair value of each of the Company’s reporting units is above its carrying value; accordingly, the Company has concluded its goodwill is not impaired at December 31, 2012. The Company could be exposed to increased risk of goodwill impairment if future operating results or macroeconomic conditions differ significantly from management’s current assumptions.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The Company has not historically maintained a bad debt reserve for its federal government customers. Allowances for doubtful accounts relate to commercial accounts receivable and unbilled accounts receivable represent management’s best estimate of the losses inherent in the Company’s outstanding trade accounts receivable. The Company determines its allowance by considering a number of factors, including the length of time accounts receivable are past due, the Company’s previous loss history, the customer’s current ability to pay its obligation to the Company, and the condition of the general economy and the industry as a whole. Customer account balances outstanding longer than 120 days are placed with a third party collection agency and a reserve is established. The Company writes off accounts receivable after 180 days or earlier when they become uncollectible, and payments subsequently received on such receivables are credited to the allowance for doubtful accounts.
To the extent historical credit experience updated for emerging market trends in credit is not indicative of future performance, actual losses could differ significantly from management’s judgments and expectations, resulting in either higher or lower future provisions for losses, as applicable. The process of determining the allowance for doubtful accounts requires a high degree of judgment. It is possible that others, given the same information, may at any point in time reach different reasonable conclusions.
Share-Based Compensation
The Company issues share-based compensation awards to company employees upon which the fair value of awards is subject to significant estimates made by management. The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model (“Black-Scholes model”), which uses the assumptions of no dividend yield, risk free interest rates and expected life in years of approximately 3 years. The option awards are for the period from 1999 through 2012.
18 |
Expected volatilities are based on the historical volatility of our common stock. The expected term of options granted is based on analyses of historical employee termination rates and option exercises. The risk-free interest rates are based on the U.S. Treasury yield for a period consistent with the expected term of the option in effect at the time of the grant. To the extent historical volatility estimates, risk free interest rates, option terms and forfeiture rates updated for emerging market trends are not indicative of future performance it could differ significantly from management’s judgments and expectations on the fair value of similar share-based awards, resulting in either higher or lower future compensation expense, as applicable. The process of determining fair value of share-based compensation requires a high degree of judgment. It is possible that others, given the same information, may at any point in time reach different reasonable conclusions.
Accounting for Income Taxes
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates expected to be in effect for the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is established when management determines that it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the benefit of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.
Since deferred taxes measure the future tax effects of items recognized in the financial statements, certain estimates and assumptions are required to determine whether it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the benefit of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. In making this assessment, management analyzes and estimates the impact of future taxable income, reversing temporary differences and available tax planning strategies. These assessments are performed quarterly, taking into account any new information. The Company’s significant deferred tax assets consist of net operating loss carryforwards, share-based compensation and intangible asset amortization. Should a change in facts or circumstances lead to a change in judgment about the ultimate ability to realize a deferred tax asset (including our utilization of historical net operating losses and share-based compensation expense), the Company records or adjusts the related valuation allowance in the period that the change in facts or circumstances occurs, along with a corresponding increase or decrease to the income tax provision.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards Updates (ASU)
ASU Update No. 2011-08 – Intangibles – Goodwill and Other. This amendment allows an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test as described in Accounting Standards Codification Topic No. 350 Intangibles – Goodwill. The amendments include a number of events and circumstances for an entity to consider in conducting the qualitative assessment. An entity has the option to bypass the qualitative assessment for any reporting period and proceed to performing the first step of the two-step goodwill impairment test and then subsequently resume performing a qualitative assessment in any subsequent period. This amendment no longer permits carry forward of prior year quantitative calculations of a reporting unit fair value. The amendments are effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted this accounting standard update for fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 and elected to bypass the qualitative assessment. There were no material impacts to the consolidated financial statements as a result of adopting this accounting standard update.

2012 Consolidated Operating Results Financial Review
Year Ended December 31, 2012 Compared to the Year ended December 31, 2011
Segment operating income consists of the revenues generated by a segment, less the direct costs of revenue and selling, general and administrative costs that are incurred directly by the segment. Unallocated corporate costs include costs related to administrative functions that are performed in a centralized manner that are not attributable to a particular segment. Management does not analyze assets for decision making purposes as it is not a significant factor. Accordingly, information is not available for long-lived assets or total assets. During 2012, we initiated a management reorganization that focused on repositioning key management resources and strategic offerings into one segment, rather than multiple segments. In 2013, we will continue implementing this reorganization plan and will be managing and reporting our operations as a singular segment in the future. The following table sets forth selected segment and consolidated operating results and other operating data for the periods indicated.

Revenues
Consolidated revenues for the year ended December 31, 2012 increased to approximately $55.8 million, an increase of approximately $14.4 million (or 35%), as compared to approximately $41.4 million in the same period last year. This increase was a result of revenue growth in all of our segments, which included growth in revenue from customers transitioned over as a result of the asset acquisition of AGS of approximately $7.0 million. Our segment revenue comparison is set forth below:
§ | Our Managed Mobility Solutions segment realized revenues of approximately $31.8 million, an increase of approximately $8.0 million (or 34%) for the year ended December 31, 2012 as compared to approximately $23.8 million in the same period last year. Excluding revenue growth attributable to customers transitioned over in connection with the AGS transaction, we experienced revenue growth of approximately $1.0 million. We continued to shift away from lower margin revenue generated from billable reselling of minutes to our federal customers. We continue to believe that growth strategies to expand our reach in the commercial and state government sectors should provide us with the revenue mix and customer diversification sought to meet our overall growth strategies and manage variability in revenue from federal government contracts. |
§ | Our Cyber Security Managed Solutions segment realized revenues of approximately $6.9 million, an increase of $0.4 million (or 6%) for the year ended December 31, 2012 as compared to approximately $6.5 million in the same period last year. Our revenue growth materially reflects continuing credentialing managed service sales in connection with the Transportation Workers Identification Credentialing (TWIC) program. We believe our credentialing program will expand from continued support and rollout of additional work with various states in support of our first responders initiatives, and other credentialing initiatives in progress. |
§ | Our Consulting and Support Services segment realized revenues of approximately $17.1 million, an increase of $6.1 million (or 55%) for the year ended December 31, 2012 as compared to $11.0 million in the same period last year. Our revenue growth in this segment was driven by increases in our technology infrastructure and application consulting services in the commercial sector, as well as increases in product resale’s of hardware, software, mobile device and accessory products to commercial and government sector customers. Future performance for this segment may prove erratic from period to period as consulting service and product resale demand is depend upon our customer’s technology requirements and planned program roll-out periods. |
Cost of Revenues
Cost of revenues for the year ended December 31, 2012 was approximately $41.9 million (or 75% of revenues) as compared to approximately $32.1 million (or 78% of revenues) in the same period last year. Cost of revenues increased on a dollar basis due to the addition of AGS operations on January 1, 2012. Cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues improved overall from 78% to 75%, driven by a higher mix of higher margin services. We anticipate that our cost of revenues in the long term will trend lower as we continue to pursue revenue growth in the future from higher margin services and optimize the cost to deliver our managed service solutions.
21 |
Gross Profit
Gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2012 was approximately $13.8 million (or 25% of revenues), as compared to approximately $9.2 million (or 22% of revenues) in the same period last year. Gross profit increased on a dollar basis due to the addition of AGS operations on January 1, 2012 and due to a higher mix of higher margin services.
Operating Expenses
Sales and marketing expense for the year ended December 31, 2012 was approximately $2.7 million (or 5% of revenues), as compared to approximately $1.5 million (or 4% of revenues) in the same period last year. Sales and marketing program expense includes direct and indirect marketing costs and commission payments to commercial business channel partners, which accounted for a significant portion of the increase. We anticipate increases in sales and marketing expense as we continue to expand our customer acquisition initiatives and expand our capabilities and offerings in the market.
General and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2012 were approximately $9.8 million (or 18% of revenues), as compared to approximately $7.4 million (or 18% of revenues) in the same period last year. General and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2012 includes a non-cash gain of approximately $0.9 million that reflects a reduction in the fair value of a contingent obligation upon remeasurement at the reporting date. Excluding this non-cash gain, general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2012 would have been approximately $10.8 million (or 19% of revenues). General and administrative expenses largely consist of technology infrastructure and support services to manage our customer facing proprietary technology solutions, costs to manage and support out internal facing technology infrastructure, financial management and compliance support, and other general support services to manage our infrastructure and regulatory requirements. We anticipate temporary increases in general and administrative expense as we functionalize the management of our businesses and streamline our operational systems.
Depreciation expense for the year ended December 31, 2012 was approximately $281,300, as compared to approximately $211,100 in the same period last year. The increase in depreciation expense was due to increased pool of depreciable assets to support our technology solutions infrastructure. We anticipate additional infrastructure investments in computer equipment and other hardware to respond to anticipated capacity requirements as we growth our revenue base.
Other Income (Expense)
Interest income for the year ended December 31, 2012 was approximately $4,900, as compared to approximately $12,600, in the same period last year. This decrease was due to lower amounts of invested cash and cash equivalents in interest bearing accounts as well as the continued low short-term interest rates offered by financial institutions. We had lower amounts of invested cash due to our strategic decisions to reinvest operating cash back into the business to drive our sales and marketing initiatives and operational initiatives. We do not anticipate any material changes in trends in our interest income given the level of capital committed to support these continued initiatives.
Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2012 was approximately $294,200 (or 1% of revenues), an increase of approximately $224,900 as compared to approximately $69,300 (or less than 1% of revenues) of interest expense in the same period last year. The overall increase in interest expense was primarily attributable to indebtedness incurred in connection with the acquisition of AGS.
22 |
Other income for the year ended December 31, 2012 was approximately $3,200 as compared to other expenses for the year ended December 31, 2011 of less than $1,000 and did not include any significant items.
Provision for Income Taxes
Income tax benefit for the year ended December 31, 2012 was approximately $99,700, as compared to $199,000 in the same period last year.
Net Income
As a result of the factors above, the net income for the year ended December 31, 2012 was approximately $832,300 as compared to a net income of approximately $247,000 in the same period last year.
Liquidity and Capital
The Company has, since inception, financed its operations and capital expenditures through the sale of preferred and common stock, seller notes in connection with acquisitions, convertible notes, convertible exchangeable debentures, senior secured loans and the proceeds from the exercise of the warrants related to a convertible exchangeable debenture. The Company’s immediate sources of liquidity include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, unbilled receivables and access to a working capital credit facility with Cardinal Bank for up to $8.0 million. The Company’s operating liabilities consist of trade payables and payroll obligations.
The Company’s operations require working capital to fund planned growth strategies and related initiatives. At December 31, 2012, the Company’s net working capital was approximately $2.6 million as compared to approximately $2.3 million at December 31, 2011. At December 31, 2012, there were no material commitments for additional acquisitions or capital expenditures, but that could change with the addition of material contract awards in any of our segments. At December 31, 2012, there were no outstanding borrowings against the Company’s working capital credit facility.
Cash provided by operating activities provides an indication of our ability to generate sufficient cash flow from our recurring business activities. For the year ended December 31, 2012 net cash provided by operations was approximately $1.0 million as compared to approximately $1.4 million in the same period last year. The decrease in cash flow from operations compared to the same period last year is driven by receivable billing and collection timing differences on large resale transactions.
Cash used in investing activities provides an indication of our long term infrastructure investments. We make recurring purchases of property and equipment to replace or enhance our hardware and software applications that support customer operations. We also make investments in software development related to our proprietary telecommunications expense management tools and applications and PKI software certificate credentialing managed services. For the year ended December 31, 2012, cash used in investing activities was approximately $0.4 million as compared to approximately $8.8 million in the same period last year. The decrease in investing activity year over year reflects the impact of timing of periodic PKI credentialing software development costs and purchasing decisions to enter into a capital lease arrangements as opposed to financing the current year technology requirements from available cash balances.
23 |
Cash used in financing activities provides an indication of our equity and debt capital raises and repayment of those obligations. For the year ended December 31, 2012, cash used in financing activities was approximately $0.8 million as compared to approximately $3.6 million in the same period last year. We utilized our working capital credit facility during the year ended December 31, 2012 to facilitate short term funding post acquisition at WidePoint Solutions Corp. (which acquired the assets of AGS) while AGS customer contracts were being assigned and to fund infrastructure investments. We repaid our line of credit advances in full with available cash balances and made our scheduled payments for current maturities of term debt during the year ended December 31, 2012.
We believe our current cash position and our working capital credit facility are sufficient to meet our minimum requirements for our current business operations. Our business environment is characterized by rapid technological change with periods of high growth and contraction, and is influenced by material events such as mergers and acquisitions that can substantially change our performance and outlook. Constant growth and technological change in our market makes it difficult to predict future liquidity requirements with certainty.
We believe 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, strategic acquisition funding and availability of suitable acquisition targets, technological changes in our proprietary software solutions and market acceptance of the Company’s branded products and service solutions.
Over the long term, the Company must successfully execute its growth plans to increase profitable revenue and income streams that should generate positive cash flows to sustain adequate liquidity without impairing growth initiatives or requiring the infusion of additional funds from external sources to meet minimum operating requirements, including debt service. There can be no assurance that additional financing, if required, will be available on acceptable terms, if at all, for future acquisitions and/or growth initiatives.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company has no existing off-balance sheet arrangements as defined under SEC regulations.
Other
Inflation has not had a significant effect on the Company’s operations, as increased costs to the Company have generally been offset by increased prices of products and services sold.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP 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.
25 |
This report contains forward-looking statements setting forth the Company’s 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 Company’s 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 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTAL DATA
The consolidated financial statements and schedules required hereunder and contained herein are listed under Item 15 below.
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 SEC's rules and forms, and that the information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. We performed an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on the existence of the material weaknesses discussed below in “Management's 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.
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.

Management's 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 Rules 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, 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 U.S. 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 company's 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.
Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012. 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, 2012 due to the existence of the material weaknesses as of December 31, 2012, 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 in the following areas:
§ | Inadequate segregation of duties within an account or process. Management has determined that it continued to 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 of substantially all of our financial statement accounts and disclosures that would result in a material misstatement to the annual or interim financial statements. |
§ | Inadequate policies & procedures. Management has determined that its existing policies and procedures continued to be limited and/or inadequate in scope to provide staff with guidance or framework for accounting and disclosing financial transactions. This deficiency could result in unintended, misleading entries being made in the financial system and precluding sufficient disclosure of complex transactions. |
§ | Lack of sufficient subject matter expertise. Management has determined that it lacks certain subject matter expertise related to accounting for income taxes and related complex disclosures. This control deficiency could result in a misstatement of our deferred income tax accounts and disclosures that would result in a material misstatement to the annual or interim financial statements. |
27 |
This Annual Report on Form 10-K does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting due to permanent exemptions for smaller reporting companies.
Remediation Plan for Material Weaknesses
The material weaknesses described above in "Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting" comprise control deficiencies that we discovered during the financial close process for the December 31, 2012 fiscal period.
Management made progress on implementing its remediation plan that includes the following ongoing activities: (i) functionalizing all business operations to improve client service, streamline product development and operational activities, and evaluating and implementing a customized operational and financial reporting infrastructure to support functionalizing our business; (ii) implementing approved centralized policies and procedures designed to streamline operational review and approval workflow and strengthen the overall internal control environment; (iii) minimizing manual transactional reporting; and (iv) building in additional technical redundancy in our operations by continuing to expand training and education content for select members of our sales, operational and financial staff.
We believe that these measures, if effectively implemented and maintained, will remediate the remaining material weaknesses discussed above.
Changes in 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 2012 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Because of its inherent limitations, a system of internal control over financial reporting can provide only reasonable assurance and may not prevent or detect misstatements. Further, because of changes in conditions, effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting may vary over time. Our system contains self-monitoring mechanisms, and actions are taken to correct deficiencies as they are identified.

The new employment agreement had an initial term expiring on June 30, 2012 with one twelve-month renewal option period which we exercised on June 27, 2012 and extended the expiration term to June 30, 2013. The agreement provides for (1) a base salary of $255,000, (2) a home office/automobile expense allowance of $600 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.
The employment agreement contains a severance provision which provides that upon the termination of his employment without Cause (as described below) or his voluntary resignation for a Good Reason (as described below), Mr. Komar will receive severance compensation equal to the greater of (a) an amount equal to twelve (12) months of his base salary then in effect, or (b) an amount equal to Mr. Komar’s base salary for the remainder of the term of the employment agreement. The employment agreement further provides that if within two years after a change in control of the Company there occurs any termination of Mr. Komar for any reason other than for Cause or a voluntary resignation without a Good Reason, then the Company will be required to pay to Mr. Komar a one time severance payment equal to the greater of (a) an amount equal to eighteen (18) months of his base salary then in effect, or (b) an amount equal to Mr. Komar’s base salary for the remainder of the term of the employment agreement.

Mr. Komar will receive a payment equal to any excise, income and other taxes resulting from the imposition of parachute penalties of the Internal Revenue Code or applicable state tax law.
Termination of Mr. Komar’s employment by the Company shall be deemed for “Cause” if, and only if, it is based upon (i) conviction of a felony by a federal or state court of competent jurisdiction; (ii) material disloyalty to the Company such as embezzlement or misappropriation of corporate assets; or (iii) engaging in unethical or illegal behavior which is of a public nature, brings the Company into disrepute, and results in material damage to the Company.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
A related person transaction is a consummated or currently proposed transaction in which the Company has been, is or will 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 in the past two fiscal years and no such transactions are currently proposed.
Under the Company’s corporate governance principles (the “Corporate Governance Principles”), a majority of the Company’s Board will consist of independent directors. An “independent” director is a director who meets the NYSE MKT definition of independence and other applicable independence standards under SEC guidelines, as determined by the Board. The Company’s Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee conduct an annual review of the independence of the members of the Board and its Committees and report its findings to the full Board of Directors. Based on the report and recommendation of the Corporate Governance Committee, the Board has determined that each of the Company’s non-employee directors—Messrs. Taubman, Ritter, Guenther, and Norwood—satisfies the independence criteria (including the enhanced criteria with respect to members of the Audit Committee) set forth in the applicable NYSE MKT listing standards and SEC rules. Each Board Committee consists entirely of independent, non-employee directors.
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 of Directors and Committee meetings, and coordinate with the Chairman regarding information to be provided to the non-employee directors in performing their duties.
ITEM 14. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING FEES AND SERVICES

Audit Committee Policies and Procedures For Pre-Approval of Independent Auditor Services
The following describes the Audit Committee’s policies and procedures regarding pre-approval of the engagement of the Company’s 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 soon as practicable 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 Chairman the authority to amend or modify the list of approved permissible non-audit services and fees. The Chairman 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.

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, 2012 and 2011 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 Company’s 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 Company's 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, 2012 and 2011 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. | Organization and Nature of Operations |
Organization
WidePoint Corporation (“WidePoint” or the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware on May 30, 1997. WidePoint Corporation is a provider of advanced, federally certified and other customized technology-based products and service solutions to both the government sector and commercial markets. The Company’s advanced technology-based solutions enable organizations to deploy fully compliant IT services in accordance with government requirements and the demands of the commercial marketplace. The Company has grown through the merger with and acquisition of highly specialized regional IT consulting companies.
Nature of Operations
The Company provides advanced technology-based products and solutions through three business segments, which include: Managed Mobility Solutions, Cybersecurity Solutions, and Consulting and Support Services. These segments offer unique solutions and proprietary IP wireline and wireless full life cycle management solutions; cybersecurity solutions with an expertise in identity management services utilizing certificate-based security solutions; and other associated IT Consulting and Support Services in which the Company provides specific subject matter expertise in IT Architecture and Planning, Software Implementation Services, IT Outsourcing, and Forensic Informatics. See Note 15 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information and financial results for the Company’s operating segments.
2. | Significant Accounting Policies |
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and the financial statement rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant inter-company amounts have been eliminated in consolidation.
Reclassifications
The Company reclassified amounts representing inventory previously included in the caption “Prepaid expenses and other assets” as a separate line item on the consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2011. This reclassification conforms the December 31, 2011 consolidated balance sheet and consolidated statement of cashflows presentation to the current year presentation.
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, ability to realize intangible assets, ability to realize 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.
Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, based on the Company’s principal or, in the absence of a principal, most advantageous market for the specific asset or liability. GAAP provides for a three-level hierarchy of inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value, defined as follows:
Level 1 - Inputs that are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity can access.
Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability, including:
§ | Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets |
§ | Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active |
§ | Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability |
§ | Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means |
Level 3 - Inputs that are unobservable and reflect the Company’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best information available in the circumstances (e.g., internally derived assumptions surrounding the timing and amount of expected cash flows). The Company did measure the fair value of contingent seller financed promissory notes presented on the consolidated balance sheets at fair value on a recurring basis using significantly unobservable inputs (Level 3) during the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011. See Note 4 for additional information regarding fair value of liabilities carried at fair value.
The Company monitors the market conditions and evaluates the fair value hierarchy levels at least quarterly. For any transfers in and out of the levels of the fair value hierarchy, the Company elects to disclose the fair value measurement at the beginning of the reporting period during which the transfer occurred. See Note 4 for financial assets and liabilities subject to fair value measurements.
Business Combinations
The Company identifies the individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed in connection with a business combination and purchase consideration in each business combination. The Company utilizes third party valuation professionals to estimate the initial fair value of significant assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The Company assigns provisional values to purchase consideration, assets acquired and liabilities assumed on the date of purchase and may revise these provisional values if fair value estimates prepared by outside qualified third party valuation are materially difference.
The Company estimates the fair value of each using an acceptable valuation methodology which may include an income, market and/or cost approach. The Company generally assesses the estimated fair value of contingent obligations using a probability weighted income approach (discounted cash flow) valuation technique which requires the use of observable and unobservable inputs. Fluctuations in the fair value of contingent obligations are impacted by two unobservable inputs, management’s estimate of the probability of the acquired company meeting the operating performance target and the estimated discount rate (a rate that approximates the Company’s weighted average cost of capital). Significant increases (decreases) in either of those inputs in isolation would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement. Fair value is assessed for contingent obligations on a quarterly basis until such contingencies have been resolved and any changes in fair value are recorded as a gain or loss on change in fair value of contingent obligations within general and administrative expense.
See Note 3 for a detailed description of material business combinations and see Note 4 for changes in fair value of assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis.

Significant Customers and Concentration of Credit Risk
Customers representing ten percent or more of annual consolidated revenues are set forth in the table below for the years ended:
DECEMBER 31 | ||||||||
2012 | 2011 | |||||||
As a % of | As a % of | |||||||
Customer Name | Revenues | Revenues | ||||||
Transportation Security Administration (“TSA”) | 19 | % | 23 | % | ||||
Department of Homeland Security (“DHS”) | 15 | % | 27 | % |
Customers representing ten percent or more of consolidated trade accounts receivable and unbilled receivables are set forth in the table below for the years ended:
DECEMBER 31 | ||||||||

As a % of | As a % of | |||||||

Department of Homeland Security (“DHS”) | 19 | % | 34 | % | ||||
Bureau of Alcohol Tabacco and Firearms ("ATF") | 10 | % | — |
Due to the nature of the Company’s business and the relative size of certain contracts, which are entered into in the ordinary course of business, the loss of any single significant customer could have a material adverse effect on its results of operations.
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company maintains interest-bearing cash deposits and short-term overnight investments with a large financial institution. The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents for purposes of these consolidated financial statements. Interest-bearing cash deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to a maximum of $250,000. At December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company had interest-bearing deposits with a large financial institution in excess of FDIC limits of approximately $2,548,000 and $1,239,000, respectively.
F-9 |
Accounts Receivable
The majority of the Company's accounts receivable is due from the federal government and established private sector commercial companies.
Government – The Company enters into standard master contract vehicles or an individual purchase requisitions with federal and state governments and their agencies. Federal contracts are bid on and awarded based on a cost plus fixed fee or fixed award fee, firm fixed price or time and materials basis. Federal and state government customer orders are covered by a contract vehicle or master services agreement and specific goods and services are generally submitted through task orders or purchase requisitions under a master contract or under an individual purchase requisition.
Commercial – The Company enters into standard contractual arrangements with corporations using a master service agreement and customized statement of work which outlines the product or services purchased, optional products and services and standard pricing based on volume or an hourly rate. Consulting services are charged based upon standard professional rates dependent upon level of expertise of the professionals involved. Also, the Company enters into fee arrangements for which the fees earned are based on a percentage of savings or other measures as may be determined in the applicable contract.
Credit is extended based on evaluation of a customer’s financial condition and, generally, collateral is not required. Accounts receivable are usually due within 30 to 60 days and are stated at amounts due from customers net of an allowance for doubtful accounts if deemed necessary. Customer account balances outstanding longer than the contractual payment terms are reviewed for collectability and after 90 days are considered past due unless arrangements were made at the time of the transaction that specified different payment terms. Upon specific review and its determination that a bad debt reserve may be required, the Company will reserve such amount if it views the account as potentially uncollectable. Customer account balances outstanding longer than 120 days are placed with a third party collection agency and a reserve is established.
The Company determines its allowance by considering a number of factors, including the length of time accounts receivable are past due, the Company’s previous loss history, the customer’s current ability to pay its obligation to the Company, and the condition of the general economy and the industry as a whole. The Company writes off accounts receivable when they become uncollectible, and payments subsequently received on such receivables are credited to the allowance for doubtful accounts.
The Company has not historically maintained a bad debt reserve for its federal government customers as it has not experienced any material or recurring bad debt charges and the nature and size of the contracts has not necessitated the Company’s establishment of such a bad debt reserve.

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 due to contractual terms or due to timing differences. Unbilled accounts receivable on fixed-price contracts predominantly consist of third party value added resale (VAR) of hardware and software products delivered but not invoiced at the end of the reporting period. Unbilled accounts receivable also consists of monthly managed services performed but not invoiced at the end of the reporting period. At December 31, 2012 and 2011, unbilled accounts receivable totaled approximately $2,969,000 and $2,715,000, respectively.
Inventories
Inventories consist of hardware components that will be used in custom identity management technology solutions and certain software licenses available for resale. Inventories are valued at the lower of cost, using first-in, first-out method, or market. The Company may record a write-down for inventories which have become obsolete or are in excess of anticipated demand or net realizable value. If future demand or market conditions for products are less favorable than forecasted or if unforeseen technological changes negatively impact the utility of inventory, we may be required to record additional write-downs, which would adversely affect gross profit. For the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 the Company recorded inventory write-downs related to obsolete inventory of approximately $52,000 and $0, respectively, in the consolidated statements of operations within cost of revenues.
Advance Billings and Customer Payments
Deferred revenue arises from advanced customer billings as permitted under contractual arrangements or from advanced payments from customers for monthly managed services. Certain federal and state governments and their agencies may prepay for services and/or VAR transactions in advance. These advance payments are recorded as deferred revenue and recognized as services are performed and/or devices delivered. Amounts recorded as deferred revenue are released the monthly services are complete at the end of the month. Our revenue recognition policy is below under the caption “revenue recognition.”
Deferred Implementation Revenues and Costs
Certain customer contracts may include an additional implementation charge to cover the cost of programming and technician labor costs required to set up first-time communication expense management portals and custom customer reports. These costs are deferred and amortized over the estimated customer life. There were no material deferred implementation revenues or costs incurred during fiscal 2012 and 2011.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment (including assets acquired under capital lease arrangements) are stated at historical cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives based upon the classification of the property and/or equipment or lease period for assets acquired under capital lease arrangements. The estimated useful lives of the assets are as follows:
Estimated | |
Useful Life | |
Land and building | 20 years |
Computer hardware and software | 3 years |
Furniture and fixtures | 5 years |
Mobile equipment | 3 years |
F-11 |
The Company assesses the recoverability of property and equipment by determining whether the depreciation of property and equipment over its remaining life can be recovered through projected undiscounted future cash flows. The amount of property and equipment impairment if any, is measured based on fair value and is charged to operations in the period in which property and equipment impairment is determined by management. As of December 31, 2012, the Company’s management has not identified any material impairment of its property and equipment.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
The Company accounts for goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets in accordance with ASC Topic 350 “Intangibles”. Under ASC Topic 350, goodwill and certain indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized but are subject to an annual impairment test during the fourth quarter of each year, and between annual tests if indicators of potential impairment exist. The Company has elected to perform this review annually on December 31st of each calendar year. See Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements for additional discussion about annual impairment testing.
Included within other intangible assets are software development costs. The Company capitalizes costs related to software and implementation in connection with its internal use software systems including its Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) certificate issuance database and application, Intelligent Telecommunications Management System (ITMS) and Clarity Communications Management databases and applications and its Foresight ordering and helpdesk database and application. For software development costs (or “internally developed intangible assets”) related to software products for sale, lease or otherwise marketed, significant development costs are capitalized from the point of demonstrated technological feasibility until the point in time that the product is available for general release to customers. Once the product is available for general release, capitalized costs are amortized based on units sold, or on a straight-line basis generally over a six-year period or such other such shorter period as may be required.
Revenue Recognition Principles
The Company has a standard internal process that is used to determine whether all required criteria for revenue recognition have been met. A summary of the Company’s revenue streams and specific revenue recognition policies are as follows:
Managed Mobility Solutions
§ | Managed Services: Telecommunications expense management and device management services are delivered on a monthly basis based on a standard fixed pricing scale per user or device or other service utilization metric. Managed services are not interdependent and there are no undelivered elements in these arrangements. Revenue is recognized upon the completion of the delivery of monthly managed services. The Company also offers invoice management and payment services, which may subject the Company to credit risk as it is responsible for the payment of multiple billable arrangements by and between its customer and various carriers. The Company recognizes revenues and related costs on a gross basis for these arrangements as it has discretion in choosing providers, rate plans, and devices in providing the services to its customers. For arrangements in which the Company does not have such credit risk, it recognizes revenues and related costs on a net basis. |
F-12 |
§ | Software Licenses: The Company offers a standalone telecommunication expense management software instance under a perpetual license agreement with no right or obligation to provide subsequent maintenance, updates or modifications. Under these arrangements the customer is required to electronically download their unique software instance and host access to their software instance within their technology environment. There is no agreement to provide post contract support services. The earnings process is generally complete upon issuance or delivery of the software instance. The Company offers implementation services that are customized services that are not included in the price of the software instance. Revenue is recognized for implementation services based billable rates times hours incurred plus direct materials and other reimbursable costs incurred to provide services. |
§ | Value Added Reseller Services: The Company procures and resells telecommunication services and devices to the customer and recognizes revenue upon delivery and bills the customer at cost plus applicable contractual fees earned. The Company bears significant risk as it exercises significant discretion in establishing technical requirements and choosing equipment and as such recognizes revenues and related costs on a gross basis. Hardware elements are separately procured and priced through third party vendors who deal in such equipment. Revenue is recognized upon delivery of the product or service. |
§ | Compliance Services: The Company provides a variety of telecommunication management consulting services and charges a fee for time and materials incurred or a contingent-fee based on expected savings or other metric determined. Services performed include permission based audits, accounts payable audits, and compliance reviews. Revenue on time and material arrangements is recognized to the extent of billable rates times hours delivered plus material and other reimbursable costs incurred to deliver consulting services. Revenue on contingent-fee arrangements are recognized upon customer acceptance of proposed billing. |
Cybersecurity Solutions
§ | Managed Credentialing Services: The Company provides its proprietary PKI identity credentialing software certificates to individuals. Pricing for certificates issued by the Company are based on third party evidence of value. Certificates issued have a fixed life and cannot be modified or reissued. There is no obligation to provide post contract services in relation to certificates issued. Revenue is recognized from the sales of credentials upon issuance. |
F-13 |
§ | PKI Credentialing Consoles: PKI credentialing provided as a customer driven solution involves the bulk sale of a fixed number of individual software certificates and may include consoles which are delivered to the customer and issued by the customer. Certificates issued have a fixed life and cannot be modified or reissued. There is no obligation to provide post contract services in relation to certificates issued and consoles delivered. Revenue is recognized upon delivery of the credentials and/or consoles. Cost of Revenues includes general infrastructure support costs to maintain the continued issuance of credentials. |
Consulting Services and Products
§ | Value Added Reseller Services: The Company procures and resells third party hardware/software products and maintenance services under cost-reimbursable contracts. The Company contracts separately with third party vendors who deal in such products and services to procure products and services for its customers. The Company bears significant risk as it exercises significant discretion in establishing technical requirements and choosing equipment and as such recognizes revenues and related costs on a gross basis. Hardware elements are separately procured and priced through third party vendors who deal in such equipment. Revenue is recognized upon delivery of the product or service when it is not part of an integrated solution or as a percentage of completion if it is part of an integrated solution. |
§ | Network and Consulting Services: The Company offers traditional information technology and network consulting and security assurance services under a time and materials or on a fixed fee basis. The Company also offers to its telecommunications customers telecommunications network assessments, contract negotiations, information security consulting services, and infrastructure consulting services. Revenue is recognized to the extent of billable rates times hours delivered plus material and other reimbursable costs incurred to provide services. Revenue is recognized on certain contingency-based consulting arrangements to the extent expected savings are realized and the customer signs-off on our value billing. |
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with authoritative guidance which requires that deferred tax assets and liabilities be computed based on the difference between the financial statement and income tax bases of assets and liabilities using the enacted marginal tax rate. The guidance requires that the net deferred tax asset be reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the net deferred tax asset will not be realized. The Company recognizes the impact of an uncertain tax position taken or expected to be taken on an income tax return in the financial statements at the amount that is more likely than not to be sustained upon audit by the relevant taxing authority. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized in the financial statements unless it is more likely than not of being sustained upon audit by the relevant taxing authority.
F-14 |
Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Share (EPS)
Basic EPS includes no dilution and is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS includes the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common and restricted stock were exercised or converted into common and restricted stock. The number of incremental shares from assumed conversions of stock options, stock warrants and unvested restricted stock awards included in the calculation of diluted EPS was calculated using the treasury stock method. See Note 13 to the consolidated financial statements for computation of EPS.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company previously adopted the provisions of ASC 718-10, “Stock Compensation” 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 ASC 718-10, as originally issued. All new awards that are modified, repurchased, or cancelled after the adoption date are accounted for under provisions of ASC 718-10. The Company recognizes share-based compensation ratably using the straight-line attribution method over the requisite service period. In addition, pursuant to ASC 718-10, 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 Company’s practice prior to the adoption of ASC 718-10. See Note 12 to the consolidated financial statements.
Non-Employee Stock-Based Compensation:
The Company accounts for stock-based non-employee compensation arrangements using the fair value recognition provisions of ASC 505-50, “Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees” (formerly known as FASB Statement 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation and “Emerging Issues Task Force” EITF 96-18, Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services).
Accounting Standards Updates
ASU Update No. 2011-08 – Intangibles – Goodwill and Other. This amendment allows an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test. An entity has the option to bypass the qualitative assessment for any reporting period and proceed to performing the first step of the two-step goodwill impairment test and then subsequently resume performing a qualitative assessment in any subsequent period. This amendment no longer permits carry forward of prior year quantitative calculations of a reporting unit fair value. The amendments are effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted this accounting standard update for fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 and there were no material impacts to the consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

3. | Business Combinations |
On December 30, 2011, the Company together with its wholly-owned subsidiary, WidePoint Solutions Corp. (WSC), entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (“APA”) with AGS, pursuant to which WSC acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of AGS. The purchased assets include, but are not limited to, customer contracts and relationships; assembled workforce talent and expertise necessary to manage the telecommunications and consulting operations and integral internally developed software upon which managed services are delivered by AGS. Goodwill recorded in connection with this business combination was recorded within the Managed Mobility Solutions segment. Goodwill amortizable for tax purposes is approximately $4.9 million.
The Company finalized its determination of fair value of purchase consideration and assets and liabilities acquired and in accordance with GAAP adjusted its December 31, 2011 balances reported for cash, receivables, intangible assets, goodwill, accrued expenses and long term debt to reflect this final basis of accounting as of the acquisition date.
Cash consideration paid totaled $7.5 million and came from the use of $3.5 million in operating cash on hand and use of $4.0 million bank loan proceeds. Additional consideration of up to $4.0 million was provided in the form of two (2) seller financed promissory notes. The first promissory bears a stated face value of $1.0 million and is not subject to contingent payment terms. The Company revised its provisional value of contingent consideration paid at December 31, 2011 to reflect additional information existing at the date of the AGS purchase that affected the payout probabilities used to calculate fair value, as well as additional net working capital adjustments finalized during fiscal 2012. The second promissory note bears a stated face value of $3.0 million and is subject to contingent payment terms. The following table sets forth a final reconciliation of the provisional and final estimated fair value of consideration paid in connection with the asset purchase agreement with AGS as of December 31, 2011:
Provisional | Purchase | Final Fair | ||||||||||
Value | Adjustments | Value | ||||||||||
Cash consideration paid | $ | 7,500,000 | $ | - | (1) | $ | 7,500,000 | |||||
Non-continent subordinated seller financed note payable consideration | 1,000,000 | - | (1) | 1,000,000 | ||||||||
Contingent seller financed note payable consideration | 3,000,000 | (850,000 | )(2) | 2,150,000 | ||||||||
Net working capital escrow adjustment to consideration paid | - | (76,539 | )(3) | (76,539 | ) | |||||||
Fair value of total consideration transferred | $ | 11,500,000 | $ | (926,539 | ) | $ | 10,573,461 |
(1) | There were no changes in the provisional values established for cash and senior debt consideration paid in connection with this business combination. |
(2) | The contingent seller financed promissory note (“contingent obligation”) had a provisional value of $3.0 million at December 31, 2011. During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company finalized its fair value accounting and determined the estimated fair value to be approximately $2.15 million as of December 31, 2011. This resulted in a reduction in the value of contingent obligation of approximately $850,000, thereby reducing goodwill in connection with this business combination. |
F-16 |
(3) | As required under the agreement a portion of the cash proceeds were held in escrow until certain transitional matters were completed by AGS. There were networking capital deficiency adjustments of approximately $76,000 which reduced purchase consideration paid to AGS from the escrow proceeds. |
The Company incurred approximately $120,000 in transaction-related costs which were expensed as incurred and reflected in general and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2011. In connection with this business combination, the Company entered into employment agreements with certain senior officers of AGS. Also, the Company did not incur exit or termination charges in connection with this business acquisition.
The following table sets forth a final reconciliation of the provisional and final estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the AGS business combination as of December 31, 2011:
Provisional | Purchase | Final Fair | ||||||||||
Value | Adjustments | Value | ||||||||||

(1) | Decrease in current assets reflects adjustments to cash due to timing differences and increased allowances for doubtful accounts related to past due receivables. |
(2) | Increase in fair value of identified intangible assets of approximately $807,570 based on final estimate of fair value of identified intangibles. The Company estimated the fair value of finite lived intangible assets acquired using discounted cash flow valuation techniques. These estimates of fair value included the use of Level 2 and Level 3 inputs. |
(3) | Increase in accrued expense to reflect an additional liability incurred as of the acquisition date. |
(4) | Decrease in goodwill reflects reduction in purchase consideration of approximately $850,000, networking capital adjustment of approximately $76,540 and increase in fair value of finite-lived intangible assets, partially offset by reductions in current assets as described in (1) and (2) above. |

In connection with the Company’s adoption of ASU 2010-29, Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations, the following unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 have been prepared as if the acquisition of AGS had occurred at January 1, 2011 (unaudited):
DECEMBER, 31 | ||||||||
2012 | 2011 | |||||||
Revenues, net | $ | 55,782,742 | $ | 49,882,694 | ||||

Basic EPS | $ | 0.013 | $ | (0.011 | ) | |||
Diluted EPS | $ | 0.013 | $ | (0.011 | ) |
The following footnotes explain the nonrecurring pro forma adjustments made to arrive at the unaudited pro forma results presented above:
(1) | Pro forma adjustments of $1,160,607 were charged against net income (loss) for the year ended December 31, 2011 to reflect increased intangible asset amortization recorded in connection with the AGS business combination. |
(2) | Pro forma adjustments of $5,417 were charged against net income (loss) for the year ended December 31, 2011to reflect increased borrowings incurred to finance a portion of the purchase price for the AGS business combination. |
The pro forma adjustments above differ from those included in the Company’s Form 8-K/A filing due to subsequent changes in provisional intangible asset values. The unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of operations do not purport to be indicative of the results that would have been obtained if the above acquisition had actually occurred as of the dates indicated or of those results that may be obtained in the future. These unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of operations were derived, in part, from the historical consolidated financial statements of AGS and other available information and assumptions believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
4. | Fair Value Measurements |
The consolidated financial statements include financial instruments for which the fair market value may differ from amounts reflected on a historical basis.
Financial Liabilities Carried at Fair Value
The Company reports contingent seller financed promissory note at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets. The Company assesses the estimated fair value of the contingent seller financed promissory note (“contingent consideration”) using a probability weighted income approach (discounted cash flow) valuation technique. When preparing discounted cash flow models under the income approach, the Company uses internal forecasts to estimate future cash flows. The Company’s internal forecasts are developed using observable (Level 2) and unobservable (Level 3) inputs.
F-18 |
The Company uses the expected weighted average cost of capital, estimated using a capital asset pricing model, to discount future cash flows. The Company’s cost of equity estimate is developed using a combination of observable (Level 2) and unobservable (Level 3) inputs with appropriate adjustments that take into consideration our risk profile and other factors deemed appropriate. The Company believes the discount rates used appropriately reflect the risks and uncertainties associated with the probability of payout and market conditions generally and specifically in the Company’s internally developed forecasts.
Fair value is assessed on a quarterly basis and any changes in estimated fair value are recorded as a non-operating change in fair value of contingent consideration in the consolidated statement of operations. Fluctuations in the fair value of contingent consideration are impacted by two unobservable inputs, management’s estimate of the probability (which are greater than 75%) of the acquired company meeting the operating performance target and the estimated discount rate (a rate that approximates the Company’s weighted average cost of capital). Significant increases (decreases) in either of those inputs in isolation would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement. Generally, a change in the assumption used for the probability of meeting the performance target is accompanied by a directionally similar change in the fair value of contingent consideration liability, whereas a change in assumption used for the estimated discount rate is accompanied by a directionally opposite change in the fair value of contingent consideration liability.
The following table summarizes the Company’s financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, categorized by GAAP’s valuation hierarchy (as described in Note 2) at the end of each reporting period presented below:
Amount | Quoted Prices | Significant | ||||||||||||||
Recorded on | in Active | Other | Significant | |||||||||||||
Consolidated | Markets for | Observable | Unobservable | |||||||||||||
Balance | Identical Assets | Inputs | Inputs | |||||||||||||

Balance, December 31, | $ | 1,250,000 | $ | 2,150,000 |
(1) | For the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company measured the fair value of its contingent obligation and recorded a non-cash gain fair value adjustment of approximately $0.9 million to reflect a reduction in fair value of its contingent obligation. The Company determined the fair value of contingent consideration based on a probability weighted discounted cash flow valuation technique. The potential payout of consideration for the year ending 2013 is up to $1.5 million of face value of the contingent seller financed promissory note. |
(2) | For the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company recorded an initial fair value of contingent consideration of approximately $2.15 million based on a probability weighted discounted cash flow valuation technique. The potential payout of consideration for the year ended 2012 was up to $1.5 million of face value of the contingent seller financed promissory note. |
There were no transfers into or out of Level 3 for the years ended December 31, 2012 or 2011.
Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities Carried at Other Than Fair Value
The Company’s financial instruments include cash equivalents, accounts receivable, short and long-term debt (except for contingent promissory notes) and other financial instruments associated with the issuance of the common stock. The carrying values of cash equivalents and accounts receivable approximate their fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments and past evidence indicates that these instruments settle for their carrying value. The carrying amounts of the Company’s bank borrowings under its credit facility approximate fair value because the interest rates reflect current market rates.

8. | Goodwill |
The Company’s goodwill recorded relates to the Managed Mobility Solutions and Cybersecurity Solutions segments. The Company evaluates goodwill for impairment annually as of December 31st and between annual tests if events occur or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the reporting unit below its carrying value. The Company has the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test or bypass the qualitative assessment for any reporting period and proceed to performing the first step of the two-step goodwill impairment test. The Company elected to bypass the qualitative assessment for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012.
Goodwill impairment testing involves management judgment, requiring an assessment of whether the carrying value of the reporting unit can be supported by its fair value using widely accepted valuation techniques. The quantitative goodwill impairment test utilizes a two-step approach. The first step identifies whether there is potential impairment by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit to the carrying amount, including goodwill. If the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the second step of the impairment test is required to measure the amount of any impairment loss.
The Company uses a combination of the income approach (discounted cash flow method) and market approach (market multiples). When preparing discounted cash flow models under the income approach, the Company uses internal forecasts to estimate future cash flows expected to be generated by the reporting units. Our internal forecasts are developed using observable (Level 2) and unobservable (Level 3) inputs. Actual results may differ from forecasted results. When preparing the market approach the Company may adjust market multiples to reflect the Company’s risk profile and other factors deemed appropriate to properly apply the market approach.
The Company uses the expected weighted average cost of capital, estimated using a capital asset pricing model, to discount future cash flows for each reporting unit. Our cost of equity estimate is developed using a combination of observable (Level 2) and unobservable (Level 3) inputs with appropriate adjustments that take into consideration our risk profile and other factors deemed appropriate. The Company believes the discount rates used appropriately reflect the risks and uncertainties in the financial markets generally and specifically in the Company’s internally developed forecasts. Further, to assess the reasonableness of the valuations derived from the discounted cash flow models, the Company also analyzes market-based multiples for similar industries of the reporting unit, where available.
As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, goodwill was not impaired and there were no accumulated impairment losses.

F-25 |
On December 30, 2011, the Company entered into a new Commercial Loan Agreement (collectively referred to as the “Cardinal Loans”) to obtain a $4.0 million term loan (the “$4.0 Million Term Loan”) and to increase the revolving line of credit for net working capital from $5.0 million to $8.0 million (the “$8.0 Million Revolver”).
On December 21, 2012, the Company entered into a First Modification to Cardinal Loans that (i) extended the repayment date of the revolving credit facility from June 30, 2013 to June 30, 2014; (ii) modified our target net worth requirement from $5.5 million to $4.0 million as of December 31, 2012 and revised target net worth requirement from $5.5 million to $4.5 million as of December 31, 2013 (representing a reduction from the prior-existing $5.5 million target); and (iii) eliminated the Funded Debt to EBITDA covenant.
Advances made under the $4.0 Million Term Loan bear interest at 4.5% with monthly principal and interest payments of $74,694 and matures on December 30, 2016.

10. | Income Taxes |
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, “Income Taxes” (formerly known as SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”). Under ASC 740, 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. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Based upon the realization of our recent historical profitability and our outlook for the continued positive prospects for these profits to continue in the future, management believes these net deferred tax assets will be utilized in future periods. In assessing the ability to realize deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. ASC 740 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.
As of December 31, 2012, the Company had gross net operating loss (NOL) carry forwards of approximately $19.8 million available to offset future taxable income for federal income tax purposes, net of the potential limitation discussed below. These federal NOL carry forwards expire between 2017 and 2032. The Company had gross state NOL carry forwards of approximately $12.1 million available to offset future taxable income for state income tax purposes. These state NOL carry forwards expire between 2020 and 2032.
Under the provision of the U.S. Tax Reform Act of 1986, a change in an entity’s ownership of 50 percent or greater may limit utilization of federal net operating loss carry forwards. The Company had a series of historical equity transactions that resulted in a change in control. The Company’s net operating losses will be subject to such limitations and may not be available to offset future income for tax purposes. Utilization of the NOL carryforwards will be subject to an annual limitation under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and similar state provisions due to ownership change limitations that have occurred. In general, an ownership change, as defined by Section 382, results from transactions increasing ownership of certain stockholders or public groups in the stock of the corporation by more than 50 percentage points over a three-year period. An analysis was performed which indicated that multiple ownership changes have occurred in previous years which created annual limitations on our ability to utilize NOL and tax credit carryovers. Such limitations will result in approximately $4.9 million reduction in gross NOL carry forwards available to offset future taxable income for federal income tax purposes.
No tax benefit has been associated with the exercise of stock options for the years ended December 31, 2012 or 2011, respectively, because of the existence of net operating loss carryforwards. There will be no credit to additional paid in capital for such until the associated benefit is realized through a reduction of income taxes payable. The tax benefit associated with the exercise of stock options included in NOL’s that will be credited to additional paid-in capital when the NOL’s are used to reduce taxes currently payable is approximately $923,000.
The Company recognizes the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the more-likely-than-not threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority. As of December 31, 2012, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits. While the Company does not have any material interest and penalties in the periods presented, the Company’s policy is to recognize such expenses as tax expense.

The Company files U.S. federal income tax returns with the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) as well as income tax returns in various states. The Company may be subject to examination by the IRS for tax years 2003 through 2012. Additionally, the Company may be subject to examinations by various state taxing jurisdictions for tax years 2003 through 2012. As of December 31, 2012, the Company is currently not under examination by the IRS or any state tax jurisdiction. The Company was subject to an examination by the Illinois Department of Revenue for the tax periods 2007 and 2008 that resulted in a reduction of the sales apportionment factors reported on the returns which did not materially affect net operating loss deductions in Illinois. The examination was finalized during the second quarter of 2012.

The Company issues new shares of common stock upon the exercise of stock options. Any shares associated with forfeited options are added back to the number of shares that underlie stock options to be granted under the stock incentive plan.
The Company adopted the 2008 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2008 Plan”) on December 18, 2008. The 2008 Plan was enacted 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 Company’s common stock, or to receive compensation which is based upon appreciation in the value of the Company’s common stock; and (c) provide a means of obtaining, rewarding and retaining key personnel and consultants.
Under the 2008 Plan, 6,578,049 shares were reserved for issuance under equity incentive awards to be issued pursuant to the 2008 Plan. The 2008 Plan was amended and restated on December 15, 2009. The 2008 Plan will terminate on December 17, 2017.

1997 Director’s Formula Stock Option Plan
Under the 1997 Director’s Formula Stock Option Plan (the “1997 Director Plan”), as amended, 120 thousand shares were reserved for issuance under the plan. The 1997 Director Plan provided for option grants to purchase 12,000 shares of common stock upon a non-employee director’s 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 director’s completion of the first year of continued service to the Company, and vest to the remaining 2,000 shares after the completion of the second year of continued service to the Company.
Each option granted pursuant to the Director Plan was evidenced by an agreement and is subject to additional terms as set forth in the agreement. Options become exercisable when vested and expire ten years after the date of grant, subject to any shorter period that may be provided in the agreement.

Aggregate intrinsic value represents total pretax intrinsic value (the difference between WidePoint’s closing stock price on December 31, 2012 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, 2012. The intrinsic value will change based on the fair market value of WidePoint’s stock. The total intrinsic value of options outstanding as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 were approximately $18,000 and $594,000, respectively. The total intrinsic value of options exercisable on December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, were approximately $18,000 and $594,000. The total intrinsic value of options exercised were $305,250 and $92,600 during the year ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model (“Black-Scholes model”), which uses the assumptions of no dividend yield, risk free interest rates and expected life in years of approximately 3 years. The option awards are for the period from 1999 through 2012. Expected volatilities are based on the historical volatility of our common stock. The expected term of options granted is based on analyses of historical employee termination rates and option exercises. The risk-free interest rates are based on the U.S. Treasury yield for a period consistent with the expected term of the option in effect at the time of the grant. Significant option model assumptions were as follows for options entered into during the years ended:

No tax benefit has been associated with the exercise of stock options for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, because of the existence of net operating loss carryforwards. There will be no credit to additional paid in capital for such until the associated benefit is realized through a reduction of income taxes payable.
At December 31, 2012, the Company had approximately $344,500 of total unamortized compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, related to stock option plans that will be recognized over the weighted average period of 3.6 years. At December 31, 2011, the Company had approximately $302,900 of total unamortized compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, related to stock option plans that will be recognized over the weighted average period of 2.7 years.

Operating Lease Commitments
The Company has entered into property and equipment leasing arrangements that expire at various times through April 2017, with optional renewal periods. Lease payments range from $1,000 to $27,000 per month and may require additional rent to cover a proportionate share of taxes, maintenance, insurance and other shared expenses. Rents are generally increased annually by fixed amounts, subject to certain maximum amounts defined within individual agreements. Rent expenses under these operating leases for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 were approximately $808,000 and $386,000, respectively. Future minimum payments by year (excluding related party leases) required under lease obligations consist of the following for fiscal years ending December 31:

15. | Segment Reporting |
Segments are defined by authoritative guidance as components of a company in which separate financial information is available and is evaluated by the chief operating decision maker, or a decision making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. Management evaluates segment performance primarily based on revenue and segment operating income. The Company operates as three segments, which includes Managed Mobility Solutions, Cybersecurity Solutions, and Consulting and Support Services. See Note 2 for a description of services and revenue recognition policies for each segment.
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.
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. The Company’s management does not analyze assets for decision making purposes as it relates to the segments below. Accordingly, information is not available for long-lived assets or total assets.
During 2012, we initiated a management reorganization that focused on repositioning key management resources and strategic offerings into one segment, rather than multiple segments. In 2013, we will continue implementing this reorganization plan and will be managing and reporting our operations as a singular segment in the future.
The following table sets forth selected segment and consolidated operating results and other operating data for the periods indicated before completion of functionalization.
