WidePoint Announces Year-End 2007 Results

PKI and managed services revenue increases 103%

WASHINGTON, D.C., April 7, 2008 — WidePoint Corporation (AMEX: WYY), a leading provider of advanced information technology, identity assurance and mobile telecom expense management services, today announced financial results for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007.

The company posted revenue of approximately $14.1 million with a net loss of $0.5 million or $0.01 per basic and diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2007. These results compare to revenue of approximately $18.0 million with a net loss of $0.4 million or $0.01 per basic and diluted share for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006.

Revenue in the company’s PKI and Managed Services segment increased by approximately 103% in 2007 to $3.6 million from $1.8 million in 2006. The increase was predominantly attributable to the continued adoption of Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) by U.S. federal government agencies and their contractors. The company anticipates revenue within this segment will continue to expand as programs within this marketplace move from small scale deployments that occurred in 2007 to more fully deployed solutions in 2008 and beyond.

Revenue in the company’s Consulting Services segment decreased by approximately 35% in 2007 to $10.6 million from $16.2 million in 2006. The decrease was predominantly attributable to several large software resales that occurred in 2006 in support of early stage consulting work associated with the launch of PKI programs in 2007. The company anticipates that revenue within this segment should continue to expand in 2008 and beyond.

Gross margins for fiscal year 2007 were approximately 25%, up from 21% in the year-ago period. The increase in gross margins was the result of a shift to higher margin services in 2007 as compared to 2006. WidePoint anticipates that gross margins should continue to expand as the PKI and Managed Services segment grows in relation to overall revenue mix.

Subsequent to the reporting period, WidePoint completed the closing of the acquisition of iSYS, LLC in January 2008, details of which can be found in the company’s Form 8-K/A No. 1 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 21, 2008. For its most recent fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, iSYS is projected to realize approximately $20 million in revenue and net income of approximately $1.4 million. Estimated proforma combined financials representing both WidePoint and iSYS reflect revenues of approximately $34 million for fiscal year 2007 and positive cash flows for the year after allowing for interest expense from the increased debt service of the credit facility used to acquire iSYS.

WidePoint CEO Steve Komar, said, “Despite the impact of federal budgeting delays and non-recurring software resales on our 2007 consulting segment, our revenues in the PKI and managed services segment continued to improve. We remain confident in our long-term strategic positioning within the information assurance sector, further strengthened as a result of being recently named the first certified FiXs® credential issuer. We are also excited about the addition of iSYS to the WidePoint team. iSYS further expands WidePoint’s customer base and information assurance offerings while adding significant contract vehicles and proprietary technology in the emerging mobile telecom expense management sector. We are seeing strong demand for iSYS’ proprietary ITMS® mobile telecom expense management system, or TEMS, and we believe that we are extremely well-positioned to exploit our federal leadership position in this rapidly growing sector, as well as to migrate our capabilities into commercial sector markets.”

Jim McCubbin, WidePoint CFO, said, “During 2007 we made great strides in positioning the company for 2008 and beyond. We added and expanded credit facilities with Cardinal Bank allowing for our strategic purchase of iSYS in January 2008 and made investments within our PKI and managed services sector which allowed us to further strengthen and differentiate our service offerings, resulting in several strategic contract awards in the first quarter of 2008. We also expanded our presence in several large federal programs and added new teaming partners and customers that we believe will yield positive growth in 2008 and beyond.”
