Technest History

Technest Holdings, Inc. is the successor of a variety of businesses dating back to 1993. We were incorporated in 1993 as Alexis and Co. in the State of Nevada, and subsequently changed our name to Wee Wees Inc. Prior to December 17, 1996, we had no operations. Between December 1996 and May 2002, we were involved in a number of different businesses.
 
  On March 25, 2003, we sold all outstanding shares of Technest.com, Inc. (a subsidiary of Technest Holdings, Inc.) to Aberdeen Avenue LLC for the purchase price of $1.00. As a result of this sale, we reversed $2,234,428 of the subsidiary’s liabilities which was recorded as other income during the second quarter 2003.
 
On April 1, 2003, we exchanged all of our shares in Corpfin.com, Inc. with six shareholders in return for 16,261,822 shares of our common stock. Thereafter we retired these shares. On October 10, 2003, we filed a Form N-54C withdrawing our election to be treated as a business development company.
 
Between October 10, 2003 and February 14, 2005, we had no operations, nominal assets, accrued liabilities totaling $184,468 and 139,620 (post-reverse stock split) shares of common stock issued and outstanding.

Acquisition of Genex. On February 14, 2005, Technest became a majority owned subsidiary of Markland Technologies, Inc., a homeland defense, armed services and intelligence contractor. Technest issued to Markland 1,954,023 shares of its common stock in exchange for 10,168,764 shares of Markland common stock which were used as partial consideration for the concurrent acquisition of Genex Technologies, Inc. The acquisition of Genex Technologies, Inc. was effected pursuant to an Agreement Plan of Merger, dated February 14, 2005, by and among Markland, Technest, Mtech Acquisition, Inc. (a wholly-owned subsidiary of Technest), Genex and Jason Geng (the then sole stockholder of Genex). Technest paid $3,000,000 in cash and transferred the 10,168,764 shares of Markland common stock to Jason Geng, the sole stockholder of Genex, for all of the capital stock of Genex. As a result of this transaction, Genex Technologies, Inc. became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Technest. Technest financed the acquisition of Genex with the sale of 1,149,425 shares of Technest Series B preferred stock (which were convertible into Markland common stock), five-year warrants to purchase up to 1,149,425 shares of Technest common stock for an exercise price of $6.50 per share (after giving effect to the Reverse Stock Split), and 1,149,425 shares of Technest Series C preferred stock convertible into 1,149,425 shares of Technest's common stock (after giving effect to the Reverse Stock Split). Technest received gross proceeds of $5,000,000 in this offering. The issuance of these securities was not registered under the Securities Act, but was made in reliance upon the exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act set forth in Section 4(2) thereof.

The Merger Agreement provides for Mr. Geng to receive a six-month unsecured promissory note in the principal amount of $550,000 that accrues interest at the rate of 6% per year. Also, the Merger Agreement provides that if Genex meets specified revenue goals at the end of each of the first three years following February 14, 2005, Technest will pay to Mr. Geng contingent consideration of additional shares of Technest common stock equal to the fair market value of 30% of the difference in Genex's gross revenue during the year proceeding the payment and its gross revenue in 2004. Finally, the Merger Agreement provides that if the Intraoral Technologies are commercialized, Mr. Geng will be entitled to 50% of all profits generated from the Intraoral Technologies for a period of five years following February 14, 2005. Following the acquisition, it is Technest’s opinion that Mr. Geng omitted material representations from the Merger Agreement regarding the status of regulatory audits, the impact of certain internal control deficiencies and the non-disclosure of ongoing government investigations into certain conduct by Mr. Geng and Genex prior to the acquisition of Genex by Technest, and as a result, Markland and Technest have not issued and do not intend to issue the promissory note, the additional Markland share consideration or the contingent payments of Technest common stock. To date, Mr. Geng has not contested Technest's position, has not sought payment and Technest believes that the possibility that it will have to issue additional shares or other consideration is remote.

In connection with the financings of the acquisition of Genex, Technest entered into a Registration Rights Agreement dated February 14, 2005 with the investors in the financing. Pursuant to this agreement, Technest agreed to file a registration statement covering the resale of all of the common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series C preferred stock, (b) all of the common stock issuable upon exercise of the common stock purchase warrants, and (c) common stock which may become issuable to selling stockholders as liquidated damages for breach of covenants contained in or as a result of adjustments contemplated by the securities purchase agreement and the registration rights agreement. Failure to comply with the terms of this agreement triggers liquidated damages that accrue at a rate of 4% of the initial subscription amount for any month, or pro-rata portion thereof, during which a condition giving rise to liquidated damages shall continue, and such damages shall be paid in Technest common stock.

Reverse Stock Split. On June 2, 2005, our Board of Directors and the holders of a majority of our outstanding shares of common stock approved a recapitalization in the form of a one (1) for two hundred eleven and eighteen one hundredths (211.18) reverse stock split of our shares of common stock, par value $.001 per share, outstanding (the “Reverse Stock Split”) after considering and concluding that the Reverse Stock Split was in our best interests and the best interests of our stockholders, with all fractional shares rounded up to the nearest whole number. The Reverse Stock Split was effective as of the close of business on July 19, 2005. The Reverse Stock Split did not reduce the amount of authorized shares of our common stock, which remains at 495,000,000.

Acquisition of EOIR. On August 17, 2005, pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement with Markland, our majority stockholder, we purchased all of the outstanding stock of EOIR, formerly one of Markland’s wholly-owned subsidiaries. As consideration for the stock of EOIR, we issued 12 million shares of our common stock to Markland, and, as a result, Markland’s ownership of Technest increased at the time of the transaction from 85% to approximately 98% on a primary basis and from 39% to approximately 82% on a fully diluted basis (assuming the conversion of all of our convertible securities and the exercise of all warrants to purchase Technest common stock). This reorganization did not result in a change of control of EOIR. We did not need stockholder consent in order to complete this reorganization.  Markland acquired EOIR on June 29, 2004.  EOIR generated approximately 97% of Markland’s revenue for fiscal 2005.

Because Markland continues to own a majority interest in Technest, Markland will continue to include Technest results in its consolidated financial statements.

Competition

The markets for our products and solutions are extremely competitive and are characterized by rapid technological change as a result of technical developments exploited by our competitors, changing technical needs of customers, and frequent introductions of new features. We expect competition to increase as other companies introduce products that are competitively priced, that may have increased performance or functionality, or that incorporate technological advances not yet developed or implemented by us. Some of our present and potential competitors may have financial, marketing, and research resources substantially greater than ours. In order to compete effectively in this environment, we must continually develop and market new and enhanced products at competitive prices, and have the resources to invest in significant research and development activities. There is a risk that we may not be able to make the technological advances necessary to compete successfully. Existing and new competitors may enter or expand their efforts in our markets, or develop new products to compete against ours. Our competitors may develop new technologies or enhancements to existing products or introduce new products that will offer superior price or performance features. New products or technologies may render our products obsolete. Many of our primary competitors are well-established companies that have substantially greater financial, managerial, technical, marketing, personnel and other resources than we do.
 
We have particular proprietary technologies, some that have been developed and others that are in development. We will focus on our proprietary technologies, or leverage our management experience, in order to differentiate ourselves from these organizations. There are many other technologies being presented to the Department of Homeland Security that directly compete with our technologies. The Department of Homeland Security may pursue solutions different from ours.

Intellectual Property

Our ability to compete effectively depends to a significant extent on our ability to protect our proprietary information. We rely primarily on patents and trade secret laws and confidentiality procedures to protect our intellectual property rights. We own 12 U.S. patents. We enter into confidentiality agreements with our consultants and key employees, and maintain controls over access to and distribution of our technology, software and other proprietary information. The steps we have taken to protect our technology may be inadequate to prevent others from using what we regard as our technology to compete with us.

We do not generally conduct exhaustive patent searches to determine whether the technology used in our products infringes patents held by third parties. In addition, product development is inherently uncertain in a rapidly evolving technological environment in which there may be numerous patent applications pending, many of which are confidential when filed, with regard to similar technologies.

We may face claims by third parties that our products or technology infringe their patents or other intellectual property rights in the future. Any claim of infringement could cause us to incur substantial costs defending against the claim, even if the claim is invalid, and could distract the attention of our management. If any of our products are found to violate third-party proprietary rights, we may be required to pay substantial damages. In addition, we may be required to re-engineer our products or seek to obtain licenses from third parties to continue to offer our products. Any efforts to re-engineer our products or obtain licenses on commercially reasonable terms may not be successful, which would prevent us from selling our products, and in any case, could substantially increase our costs and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Dependence On U.S. Government Contracts

Almost all of our range of services and products are sold to agencies of the U.S. Government. Although we are continuously working to diversify our client base, we will continue to aggressively seek additional work from the U.S. Government. As with other government contractors, our business is subject to government client funding decisions and actions that are beyond our control.

Much of our business is won through submission of formal competitive bids. Commercial bids are frequently negotiated as to terms and conditions for schedule, specifications, delivery and payment. With respect to bids for government work, however, in most cases the client specifies the terms and conditions and the form of contract.

Essentially all contracts with the United States Government, and many contracts with other government entities, permit the government client to terminate the contract at any time for the convenience of the government or for default by the contractor. We operate under the risk that such terminations may occur and have a material impact on operations.

Government Regulation

Most of our U.S. Government business is subject to unique procurement and administrative rules based on both laws and regulations, including the U.S. Federal Acquisition Regulation, that provide various profit and cost controls, rules for allocations of costs, both direct and indirect, to contracts and non-reimbursement of unallowable costs such as interest expenses and some costs related to business acquisitions, including for example the incremental depreciation and amortization expenses arising from fair value increases to the historical carrying values of acquired assets.

Companies supplying defense-related equipment to the U.S. Government are subject to some additional business risks specific to the U.S. defense industry. Among these risks are the ability of the U.S. Government to unilaterally suspend a company from new contracts pending resolution of alleged violations of procurement laws or regulations. In addition, U.S. Government contracts are conditioned upon the continuing availability of Congressional appropriations. Congress usually appropriates funds for a given program on a September 30 fiscal year basis, even though contract performance may take several years. Consequently, at the outset of a major program, the contract is usually partially funded, and additional monies are normally committed to the contract by the procuring agency only as appropriations are made by Congress for future fiscal years.

U.S. Government contracts are, by their terms, subject to unilateral termination by the U.S. Government either for its convenience or default by the contractor if the contractor fails to perform the contracts' scope of work. Upon termination other than for a contractor's default, the contractor will normally be entitled to reimbursement for allowable costs and an allowance for profit. Foreign defense contracts generally contain comparable provisions permitting termination at the convenience of the government. To date, none of our significant contracts have been terminated.

As is common in the U.S. defense industry, we are subject to business risks, including changes in the U.S. Government's procurement policies, governmental appropriations, national defense policies or regulations, service modernization plans, and availability of funds. A reduction in expenditures by the U.S. Government for products and services of the type we manufacture and provide, lower margins resulting from increasingly competitive procurement policies, a reduction in the volume of contracts or subcontracts awarded to us or the incurrence of substantial contract cost overruns could materially adversely affect our business.

Sales and Marketing

We currently divide the marketing efforts of our products and services into three areas: (1) directly to federal or local government agencies; (2) to large partners who may represent an opportunity for us as subcontractors; and (3) to commercial entities. These marketing duties are divided among senior management.

Manufacturing

Our primary manufacturing facilities are located in Spotsylvania, Virginia.

Employees

As of October 9, 2006, Technest Holdings had a total of 193 employees, 161 of which are full-time employees of our wholly-owned subsidiary, EOIR, 12 of which are part-time employees of EOIR and 20 of which are full-time employees of our wholly-owned subsidiary, Genex Technologies. We believe our future success will depend upon the continued service of our key technical and senior management personnel and upon our continued ability to attract and retain highly qualified technical and managerial personnel. None of our employees is represented by a labor union. We have never experienced a work stoppage and consider our relationship with our employees to be good.

Recent Transactions

Bank Financing

On August 10, 2006, Technest and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, E-OIR and Genex, closed on a financing (the “Financing”) under two Loan and Security Agreements with Silicon Valley Bank (the “Bank”) executed on August 4, 2006 (the “Credit Agreements”). One Credit Agreement provides for a term loan facility under which the Company may borrow term loans with an initial minimum loan of $3,000,000 (the “Term Loan Facility”). Subject to the Bank’s receipt of additional documentation for the period through the month ending December 31, 2006 and if no event of default under the Credit Agreement has occurred or is continuing, we may borrow up to an additional $1,000,000 under the Term Loan Facility on or before February 15, 2007. The other Credit Agreement provides for a one year revolving line of credit for up to $8,750,000 (the “Revolver”), provided that our borrowing under the Revolver is limited to 80% of our eligible accounts receivable. In addition, the maximum amount outstanding under both Credit Agreements at any time may not exceed $10,000,000. Both the Term Loan Facility and the Revolver are secured by all of our assets and the assets of our subsidiaries, including all of our intellectual property and of our subsidiaries

Upon the date of closing under the Credit Agreements, we borrowed the entire $3,000,000 available under the Term Loan Facility and borrowed approximately $4,445,000 under the Revolver.

Interest on all outstanding amounts under the Term Loan is payable monthly at a rate equal to the Bank’s prime rate plus 2.75%. This interest rate will be reduced to (i) the Bank’s prime rate plus 2.00% if we achieve a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement with respect to the Term Loan Facility) of at least 1.75 to 1.0 for three consecutive fiscal quarters after August 4, 2006 or (ii) the Bank’s prime rate plus 1.50% if we achieve a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of at least 2.0 to 1.0 for three consecutive fiscal quarters after August 4, 2006. Each loan under the Term Loan Facility is repayable in 36 equal monthly principal installments plus accrued interest.

The Revolver will bear interest at a rate equal to the Bank’s prime rate plus 0.50% per annum, but we must pay a minimum quarterly amount equal to the interest on an outstanding balance of $1,400,000. In addition, we will pay a monthly collateral handling fee of 0.10% per month on financed receivables. Interest and handling fees are paid as invoices are collected.

The financial covenants under the Term Loan require that we maintain, on a monthly basis tested as of the last day of each month, a minimum quick ratio (representing the ratio of quick assets (or cash and accounts receivable) plus total marketable securities to current liabilities, plus all short-term indebtedness to the Bank but excluding subordinated debt and debt from affiliates) of 0.70 to 1.0 through November 30, 2006, 0.85 to 1.0 from December 31, 2006 through May 31, 2007, 1.0 to 1.0 from June 30, 2007 through August 31, 2007 and 1.20 to 1.0 from September 30, 2007 and all monthly reporting periods thereafter. If we do not maintain these ratios, then the sum of our cash plus 80% of our eligible accounts receivable minus our borrowings under the Revolver must exceed $2,000,000. We must maintain a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio measured on the last day of every month for the three month period ending on the last day of such month, of at least 1:0 to 1:0 through periods ending November 30, 2006; at least 1.25:1.0 for periods ending on December 31, 2006 through May 31, 2007; and at least 1.50:1.0 for all periods thereafter. In addition, the Credit Agreements contain affirmative and negative covenants concerning our operations including restrictions on our ability to dispose of our assets, change our business, ownership or management, incur other indebtedness, create or permit liens on our property, make investments, pay dividends, redeem stock or engage in transactions with affiliates.

Markland Technologies, Inc. (“Markland”), the holder of the majority of Technest’s common stock, has entered into an Unconditional Guaranty pursuant to which Markland agreed to guaranty up to $6,000,000 of the principal obligations plus interest thereon and related expenses under the Credit Agreements and a Stock Pledge Agreement pursuant to which Markland pledged to the Bank 1,739,130 shares of Technest common stock currently owned by Markland, which had a market value of $6,000,000 as of August 4, 2006. The Guaranty and the Stock Pledge Agreement terminate August 3, 2008 if no event of default has occurred.

The Credit Agreements, the Unconditional Guaranty by Markland and the Stock Pledge Agreement are filed as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2, 10.4 and 10.5, respectively to Technest’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed August 14, 2006.

Pre-Payment of Promissory Notes

We used a portion of the proceeds of the Financing to pre-pay the outstanding principal of $4,952,526 of certain EOIR promissory notes issued in June 2004. After these payments, there remains outstanding EOIR notes issued in June 2004 having a total outstanding principal balance of $1,655,893, of which $608,957 is outstanding principal owed to Technest’s current Chief Executive Officer and one of our directors, Joseph P. Mackin. The security interest securing these remaining notes was subordinated to the Bank’s first priority security interest.

Transaction with Markland Technologies, Inc.

The following summary highlights the material terms of a Stockholder Agreement and License Agreement with Markland Technologies, Inc., each dated March 13, 2006. A detailed description of these agreements is also set forth in our current report on Form 8-K (SEC File # 000-27023) filed with the SEC on March 17, 2006 and the agreements themselves are filed as exhibits thereto. The Form 8-K and exhibits thereto are publicly available on the SEC’s web site at www.sec.gov. We urge you to obtain and read carefully copies of this report and documents before making an investment decision.

Stockholder Agreement with Markland Technologies, Inc.

On March 13, 2006, we entered into a stockholder agreement (the “Stockholder Agreement”) with Markland Technologies, Inc., the holder of a majority of our outstanding common stock in order to clarify and define terms relating to (i) the issuance of Technest’s securities, (ii) our corporate governance, (iii) the listing of Technest’s securities on The NASDAQ Capital Market, (iv) registration of shares of Technest’s common stock currently held by the Stockholder, (v) intellectual property rights and (v) the provision by the Stockholder of certain corporate services to Technest.

Pursuant to the terms of the Stockholder Agreement, we are required to:

 
·
refrain from issuing any shares of our common stock or securities convertible into our common stock without the consent of Markland for a period of twenty-six months, other than 1,000,000 shares to be issued under our 2006 Stock Award Plan and certain permissible offerings;
 
·
Maintain a board of directors consisting of five directors, not less than three of whom shall be “independent” directors as defined by the National Association of Securities Dealers;
 
·
Comply with the corporate governance requirement set forth in the National Association of Securities Dealers’ Marketplace Rules;
 
·
Submit an application for inclusion on The NASDAQ Capital Market and take all such actions as may be necessary to cause the application to be accepted; and
 
·
Make twelve monthly payments, beginning in April 2006, in the amount of $83,333 to Markland for administrative, manufacturing and engineering services for product development to Technest.

We have also granted Markland certain registration rights pursuant to which we are obligated to register all or a portion of those shares of our common stock held by Markland, or any parties to whom Markland may transfer those shares, with the Securities and Exchange Commission for public resale. Such registrations are to be carried out from time to time, at our expense, upon the written request of Markland, with certain limitations.

Pursuant to the terms of the Stockholder Agreement, Markland has agreed:

 
·
For a period of twelve months from the date of the agreement, not to vote the shares held by it to increase the size of our board of directors or to remove any of the directors currently in office;
 
·
To consent to our participation in up to two offerings of common stock in the next twelve months, provided that we do not offer shares of common stock in such an offering at a price of less than $5.85, and that Markland, and its assigns, be permitted to participate as a selling shareholder in any such offering.

License Agreement with Markland Technologies, Inc.

On March 13, 2006, we entered into a license agreement with Markland (the “License Agreement”). Pursuant to the License Agreement, we granted Markland an exclusive, world-wide license to make, use and sell products and services based on our intellectual property, to parties other than federal, state or local government agencies involved in intelligence, military, law enforcement or homeland defense functions. The license granted by the License Agreement shall be in effect until all of our current patents or patent applications have expired or until such time as the License Agreement is terminated pursuant to its terms.

Pursuant to the terms of the License Agreement, Markland is required to pay us twenty-five percent of the net gross profits, as defined in the License Agreement, they realize on any sale of any product or service utilizing the licensed intellectual property.

Additionally, if at the end of three years from the date of execution of the License Agreement, Markland has not realized enough net gross profits to generate an aggregate $300,000 of royalties, or $150,000 in royalties on an annual basis thereafter, the license shall become non-exclusive.


-8-


As a condition of the License Agreement, we are required to take all steps reasonably necessary to maintain our current patents and prosecute our current patent applications.

The License Agreement provides that Markland may cancel the agreement at any time upon 180 days notice. We may cancel the License Agreement if Markland fails to make a required royalty payment and does not cure such failure within thirty days of receiving notice of the failure or Markland violates the licensing terms of the License Agreement.

Markland’s Ownership of Technest Common Stock

Markland Technologies, Inc., our majority stockholder, filed current reports on Form 8-K (SEC File # 000- 28863) on March 28, 2006 and April 19, 2006, to announce the entry into definitive agreements involving Markland’s ownership of certain shares of our common stock. Among other things, the Form 8-Ks reported that Markland issued a new series of preferred stock, referred to as the Markland Series E preferred stock. Each share of Markland’s Series E preferred stock is convertible, at the option of the holder, into either (i) 3,000 shares of Technest common stock, currently outstanding and held by Markland, or (ii) 697,500 shares of Markland’s common stock.
 
Registration Rights

In connection with the issuance of shares of the newly designated Series E preferred stock, Markland agreed to cause us to file a registration statement with the SEC to register the resale of our common stock underlying the conversion of the Markland Series E preferred stock. Pursuant to our Stockholder Agreement with Markland, dated March 13, 2006, we are contractually required to prepare and file certain types of resale registration statements at Markland’s request. Based solely on the disclosures in Markland’s Form 8-Ks, we understand that Markland has issued approximately 1,232.2 shares of Series E preferred stock to four institutional investors (the “Series E Investors”), which is potentially convertible into 3,696,600 shares of our common stock. The availability of these shares for sale in the public markets pursuant to an effective registration statement may cause a significant drop in the market price of our common stock.

Important Aspects of Markland Agreements

It is important to note that Technest is not a party to any of the agreements involving the Markland Series E preferred stock and the issuance of the Markland Series E preferred stock does not require Technest to issue any additional securities. Conversions of the Markland Series E preferred stock will be satisfied entirely by shares of our common stock that are currently outstanding and held by Markland.

In addition to the registration rights mentioned above, some important aspects of the March 24, 2006 agreements, as amended, between Markland and the Series E Investors include:

 
·
the escrow of an aggregate of 4,640,192 shares of our common stock held by Markland to secure the conversion of the Markland Series E preferred stock;
 
·
an agreement by two of the Series E Investors to purchase up to an additional 267.2 shares of Markland Series E preferred stock, convertible into 801,600 shares of our common stock, in five separate closings between April 17, 2006 and June 15, 2006, of which 92 shares of Markland Series E was purchased on April 17, 2006;
 
·
the transfer of 500,000 shares of our common stock held by Markland to Verdi Consulting, Inc. as compensation for services rendered in connection with arranging and negotiating the above mentioned transactions;
 
·
an agreement that Markland, subject to certain specified exceptions, for up to two (2) years will not sell or transfer any shares of our common stock without the consent of a majority of the Series E Investors and thereafter will not sell more than 10% of its shares of our common stock into the open market during any calendar month; and
 
·
an agreement from each of the Series E Investors that they will not convert more that 10% of their shares of Series E preferred stock during any calendar month and will not sell more than 10% of their shares of our common stock into the open market during any calendar month.

A description of the March 24, 2006 agreements, as amended, between Markland and the Series E Investors is set forth in Markland’s current reports on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on March 28, 2006 and April 19, 2006. The Form 8-Ks and exhibits thereto are publicly available on the SEC’s web site at www.sec.gov. Although we did not participate in the preparation of these current reports and can therefore provide no assurances as to the accuracy of the information they contain, we urge you to obtain and read carefully copies of these reports and, in particular, the agreements included as exhibits to these reports, before making a decision to invest in our common stock.

Technest Holdings, Inc.

On or about July 23, 1998, H & H Acquisition Corporation, individually and purportedly on behalf of Technest Holdings, commenced an action in United States District Court, Southern District of New York entitled H & H Acquisition Corp., individually and on behalf of Technest Holdings, Inc. v. Financial Intranet Holdings, Inc. Technest Holdings, Inc., F/K /A Financial Intranet, Inc., Ben Stein, Interwest Transfer Co., Steven A. Sanders, Michael Sheppard, Maura Marx, Henry A. Schwartz, Leonard Gotshalk, Gotshalk Enterprises, Law Office of Steven A. Sanders, P.C. and Beckman, Millman & Sanders, LLP, 98 Civ. 5269. The plaintiffs are purporting to act on behalf of Technest in the context of a shareholder’s derivative suit. The action’s principal basis appears to be a claim that Ben Stein, a former director and Secretary of Technest, wrongfully claims ownership of shares of common stock that Stein agreed to purchase from H&H. According to H&H, these shares belong to them. H&H asserts sixteen causes of action. Only some make allegations against Technest Holdings, Inc., Michael Sheppard and Maura Marx, former officers of Technest.
 
Technest, Mr. Sheppard and Ms. Marx believe that the claims against Technest, Mr. Sheppard and Ms. Marx are without merit and are vigorously defending the action. Technest, Mr. Sheppard and Ms. Marx have filed responses to the claims against them. The responses deny all material allegations of the complaint and the claim asserted by the transfer agent, and asserts a variety of defenses. We cannot make any assurances about the litigation’s outcome.

In June 2006, the court directed the parties to address the court’s continuing subject matter jurisdiction over Technest in the H&H matter. Technest has responded to the court’s direction and believes that as a result of intervening corporate actions, the injunctive relief sought by the plaintiff which gives rise the court’s subject matter jurisdiction in this case has been rendered moot, thereby depriving the court of continuing subject matter jurisdiction. Technest believes that the case as currently styled is fundamentally a dispute between H&H Acquisition Corp. and Ben Stein.

As of October 9, 2006, Technest has not been notified of a trial date for this matter.

On or about May 30, 2006, Deer Creek Fund LLC filed a claim for Interference with Contract and Breach of the Implied Covenant of Good Faith and Fair Dealing against Technest, seeking unspecified monetary damages.  Deer Creek alleges misconduct on the part of Technest related to a proposed sale by Deer Creek of 157,163 shares of Technest common stock at $7.00 per share and the applicability of certain selling restrictions under a registration rights agreement entered into between the parties. Technest believes that the allegations in this lawsuit are entirely without merit. Technest has been aggressively defending this action, and has filed an answer denying Deer Creek’s allegations and vigorously opposes all relief sought.

EOIR Technologies, Inc.

On or about September 16, 2004, Joseph R. Moulton, Sr. initiated a lawsuit in the Circuit Court of Spotsylvania County, Virginia, against Markland, EOIR, and our former Chief Executive Officer and former Director, Robert Tarini, in his capacity as Markland’s Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Moulton was the largest single shareholder of EOIR prior to its acquisition by Markland, owning approximately 67% of the EOIR capital stock. Mr. Moulton received approximately $5,863,000 in cash and a promissory note of EOIR in the approximate principal amount of $6,967,000 for his shares of EOIR at the closing of the acquisition of EOIR by Markland.
 
In his complaint Mr. Moulton asserts, among other things, that Markland and EOIR breached their obligations under the Stock Purchase Agreement, dated June 30, 2004, pursuant to which Markland acquired EOIR, by terminating Mr. Moulton's employment with EOIR and removing him from the EOIR board of directors.
 
On August 3, 2006, Mr. Moulton, Technest, Markland, EOIR and Robert Tarini reached a settlement agreement pursuant to which upon payment of $120,000 and the pre-payment of certain EOIR outstanding promissory notes, the parties each dismissed their claims against one another. The payments required by the settlement agreement were made on August 10, 2006.

Markland and EOIR were notified on July 11, 2005 by counsel for Greg and Mary Williams, former shareholders and employees of EOIR and, in the case of Mr. Williams, a former director of Markland, that the Williams’ filed a lawsuit in the Commonwealth of Virginia, naming EOIR and Markland as defendants, seeking damages in the amount of $3,000,000 regarding a number of contractual disputes involving the registration of shares of Markland common stock underlying certain options issued to the Williams’ in connection with the acquisition of EOIR by Markland and severance payments pursuant to severance agreements by and among the Williams’, EOIR and Markland. On August 3, 2005, EOIR and Markland filed an answer and a demurrer denying all liability. On November 4, 2005, the Court heard the demurrer filed by EOIR Technologies, Inc. and Markland Technologies, Inc. and denied it. On April 6, 2006, a hearing was held in the Circuit Court for the City of Fredericksburg, Virginia on the Williams’ motion for summary judgment. On May 4, 2006, the court granted the Williams’ motion for summary judgment with regard to liability on Count I of the Williams’ claim regarding severance payment and Count III of their claim regarding Markland’s failure to register shares of Markland’s common stock underlying their options. We have, and continue to assert that Count III of the Williams’ complaint does not allege wrongdoing by EOIR and thus, we believe that we have no liability on that claim. Count II of the claim, which seeks a declaration that the promissory notes issued to Mr. and Mrs. Williams in connection with the acquisition of EOIR by Markland on June 29, 2004 are in default and an acceleration of the payments due under those notes, was not addressed by the court’s order.

On July 27, 2006, we entered into an agreement with the Williams pursuant to which we paid them $246,525 in satisfaction of their claims for severance under Count I and agreed to pay the outstanding balance of their promissory notes, along with all accrued but unpaid interest, in satisfaction of Count II which was paid on August 10, 2006. The Williams continue to assert claims against us for attorney’s fees and costs on all three counts of their complaint. Count III was not addressed by this agreement.

On September 1, 2006, we entered into an agreement with Markland pursuant to which we agreed to indemnify Markland against any judgment for damages or attorney’s fees ordered by the Court pursuant to Counts I or II and Markland agreed to indemnify us against any judgment for damages or attorney’s fees ordered by the Court pursuant to Count III.

The case is currently set for trial on November 14, 15 and 16, 2006, at which time the damages, if any, for Count III will be determined as well as costs and attorney’s fees, if applicable, for Counts I, II and III.

In the event that Mr. and Mrs. Williams prevail in any of their claims against Markland, Technest shares owned by Markland would be among the assets available to satisfy a resulting judgment.

 
 
We did not submit any matter to a vote of security holders during the three months ended June 30, 2006, which is the fourth quarter of our fiscal year.

Issuance of Unregistered Securities

As consideration for an agreement with Crystal Research Associates, LLC for the assistance in the creation of marketing information entered into on July 17, 2006, we issued Crystal a Warrant to purchase 200,000 shares of Technest common stock at an exercise price of $1.89 per share, 110% premium to the closing price of Technest common stock on July 17, 2006. The Warrant expires on July 17, 2011. We also entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with Crystal pursuant to which we granted “piggy-back” and S-3 registration rights for the shares of Technest common stock underlying the Warrant. This transaction was not registered under the Securities Act, but was made in reliance upon the exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act set forth in Section 4(2) thereof. The Warrant and Registration Rights Agreement are filed hereto as Exhibits 4.15 and 4.16, respectively.



The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations for the transition period beginning January 1, 2005 and ending June 30, 2005 and for the year ended June 30, 2006 should be read together with our financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this annual report on Form 10-KSB.
 
When reviewing the discussion below, you should keep in mind the substantial risks and uncertainties that characterize our business. In particular, we encourage you to review the risks and uncertainties described in the section entitled "Risk Factors” beginning on page 24 of this annual report on Form 10-KSB. These risks and uncertainties could cause actual results to differ materially from those forecasted in forward-looking statements or implied by past results and trends. Forward-looking statements are statements that attempt to project or anticipate future developments in our business; we encourage you to review the examples of forward-looking statements under "Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements." These statements, like all statements in this annual report on Form 10-KSB, speak only as of June 30, 2006 and we undertake no obligation to update or revise the statements in light of future developments.
 
Recent Developments
 
Change in Fiscal Year. In June 2005, we changed our fiscal year end from December 31 to June 30.
 
Reverse Stock Split. On June 2, 2005, our Board of Directors and the holders of a majority of our outstanding shares of common stock approved a recapitalization in the form of a one (1) for two hundred eleven and eighteen one hundredths (211.18) reverse stock split of our shares of common stock, par value $.001 per share, outstanding after considering and concluding that the Reverse Stock Split was in our best interests and the best interests of our stockholders, with all fractional shares rounded up to the nearest whole number. The Reverse Stock Split was effective as of the close of business on July 19, 2005. The Reverse Stock Split did not reduce our authorized shares of common stock, which remains at 495,000,000 shares. Based on the number of shares outstanding as of July 19, 2005, after giving effect to the Reverse Stock Split, we had approximately 2,302,193 shares of Technest common stock outstanding. Technest began trading under the symbol "TCNH" on July 20, 2005.
 
Acquisition of EOIR. On August 17, 2005, pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement with Markland Technologies, Inc., our majority stockholder, we purchased all of the outstanding stock of E-OIR Technologies, Inc., formerly one of Markland’s wholly-owned subsidiaries. As consideration for the stock of EOIR, we issued 12 million shares of our common stock to Markland, and, as a result, Markland’s ownership of Technest increased from 85% immediately prior to the transaction to approximately 98% on a primary basis and from 39% to approximately 82% on a fully diluted basis (assuming the conversion of all of our convertible securities and the exercise of all warrants to purchase Technest common stock).
 
EOIR offers: (i) design and fabrication of customized remote sensor systems and platforms for U.S. Department of Defense, United States intelligence agencies and U.S. Department of Homeland Security applications; (ii) remote sensor data collection, data signal processing and data exploitation; and (iii) training in the use of remote sensor systems and data. Markland acquired EOIR on June 29, 2004. EOIR generated approximately 97% of Markland’s revenue for fiscal 2005.

Bank Financing and Certain Loan Repayments. On August 10, 2006, Technest, EOIR and Genex, closed on a financing under two Loan and Security Agreements with Silicon Valley Bank executed on August 4, 2006. One Credit Agreement provides for a term loan facility under which the Company may borrow term loans with an initial minimum loan of $3,000,000 (the “Term Loan Facility”). The other Credit Agreement provides for a one year revolving line of credit for up to $8,750,000 (the “Revolver”), provided that the Company’s borrowing under the Revolver is limited to 80% of eligible accounts receivable. In addition, the maximum amount outstanding under both Credit Agreements at any time may not exceed $10,000,000. Both the Term Loan Facility and the Revolver are secured by all of the Company’s assets and the assets of its subsidiaries, including all intellectual property.

Upon the date of closing under the Credit Agreements, the Company borrowed the entire $3,000,000 available under the Term Loan Facility and borrowed approximately $4,445,000 under the Revolver.

The Company used a portion of the proceeds of the Financing to pre-pay the outstanding principal of $4,952,526 of certain EOIR promissory notes issued in June 2004. After these payments, there remains outstanding EOIR notes issued in June 2004 having a total outstanding principal balance of $1,655,893, of which $608,957 is outstanding principal owed to Technest’s current Chief Executive Officer and one of the Company’s directors, Joseph P. Mackin. The security interest securing these remaining notes was subordinated to the Bank’s first priority security interest.


Year ended June 30, 2006 compared with the six months ended June 30, 2005
 
The push down basis of accounting has been applied to the February 14, 2005 acquisition of Technest by Markland and the acquisition of Genex by Technest. In accordance with the push down basis of accounting, Technest’s and Genex’s net assets were adjusted to their estimated fair values as of the date of acquisition. The purchase method of accounting was used by Technest Holdings, Inc. to record the assets acquired and liabilities assumed of Genex Technologies, Inc. on February 14, 2005.  Accordingly, the financial statements of Technest Holdings, Inc. as of and for periods ended subsequent to the acquisition are not comparable in all material respects to the financial statements of Technest Holdings, Inc. as of and for periods ended prior to the acquisition.
 
Since the acquisition of EOIR was a transaction between entities under common control, Technest recorded the net assets of EOIR at their carrying value on the date Technest became part of Markland’s control group, which occurred on February 14, 2005. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141, “Business Combinations”, Appendix D, Technest recognized the net assets of EOIR at their carrying amounts in the accounts of Markland on the date Technest came into Markland’s control group, February 14, 2005 and restated the financial statements to include the activity of EOIR from that date forward.

Technest also corrected its accounting for derivative financial instruments to conform to the requirements of Statements of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, as amended, and Emerging Issues Task Force No. ("EITF") 00-19. For certain warrants issued by Technest in February 2005, Technest could not conclude that the warrants were able to be settled in unregistered shares of common stock due to liquidated damage provisions in registration rights agreements. Therefore the warrants did not meet the requirements for classification as equity instruments. Instead, the warrants were recorded as liabilities and carried at fair value. Fair value adjustments to these derivative liabilities are charged (credited) to the statement of operations.

As a result of these transactions, and the change in fiscal year end previously described, the results of operations for the year ended June 30, 2006 are not comparable to the June 30, 2005.

Revenues
 
Technest had $81,092,049 in revenue during the year ended June 30, 2006 compared with $27,890,072 in revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2005. The prior period is not comparable as Technest acquired Genex and EOIR effectively on February 14, 2005 and revenue was included only from that date forward. The increase in revenue was due to a full year of revenue included in 2006 versus a partial year in 2005 and only since the acquisitions of EOIR and Genex, effective February 14, 2005. For the year ended June 30, 2006, our acquisition of EOIR contributed revenues of $77,547,584 and Genex contributed $3,544,465. For the six months ended June 30, 2005, our acquisition of EOIR contributed revenues of $26,732,019 and Genex contributed $1,158,053.

Revenues from EOIR’s omnibus contract were approximately $70.3 million and $31.5 for the year ended June 30, 2006, and the full six months ended June 30, 2005 respectively. EOIR has had a history of providing services under NVESD contracts.  In 1993, EOIR won the first NVESD Omnibus contract.  When this contract was re-competed in 1996, EOIR won the follow-on contract known as the Low-Tech contract, a five-year contract with a $248 million ceiling.  In July 2001 EOIR won the Low-Tech re-compete, a five year contract with a $406 million ceiling. In August 2006, the Government granted EOIR an additional “award term” for one year from July 2006 to July 2007. The performance periods for these contracts extend for 12 months beyond the end of the contract award period. 

The overall value for the current five year contract is $406 million.  The cumulative value of individual awarded orders was approximately $360 million on June 30, 2006. 

As the Company has been awarded this contract three consecutive times, we remain confident that we are in a strong position for the upcoming re-compete, however there can be no assurances that this will happen. The near term prospects for the Company will be dependent on the Company’s ability to be awarded the new contract.   
 
Gross profit
 
The gross profit for the year ended June 30, 2006 was $14,549,810 or 18% of revenues. The gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2005 was $5,408,939 or 19% of revenues. Technest expects to expand its commercial product revenues and, accordingly, gross profit on future revenues may differ. The gross profit margins allowed by our Government customers vary depending on the type of services performed depending on the degree of complexity and involvement in performing the service.
 
Selling, general and administrative expenses
 
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended June 30, 2006 were $14,380,208 and consisted primarily of payroll costs plus a management fee of $1,000,000 to Markland, a related party, for administrative support services, engineering services and services rendered by executive officers of Markland. These management fees are expected to terminate by March 31, 2007 in accordance with our stockholder agreement with Markland. Also included in the selling, general and administrative expenses is $375,767 for stock-based compensation. This represents the amortization of stock-based compensation related to options for the purchase of Markland common stock granted to EOIR employees by Markland in conjunction with the original acquisition of EOIR in June 2004. It also includes the issuance by Technest of certain restricted stock grants to employees.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2005 reflecting the Genex and EOIR acquisitions from February 14, 2005, were $5,809,945, and consisted primarily of payroll costs plus a management fees and other expenses of $893,219 to Markland, a related party, for administrative support services, engineering services and services rendered by executive officers of Markland. Also included in the selling, general and administrative expenses in 2005 is $1,044,512 for stock based compensation related to options for the purchase of Markland common stock granted to EOIR employees by Markland in conjunction with the original acquisition of EOIR in June 2004.
 
Research and development
 
Research and development expenses for the year ended June 30, 2006 were $159,209. These expenditures consisted primarily of unfunded research for new product development. Funded research and development is part of the Company’s revenue base and the associated costs are included in cost of revenues. Research and development expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2005 were $2,395,950. Of this amount, $2,095,000 was attributable to non-cash in-process research and development written off as a result of the acquisition of Genex. This amount was determined by management in consideration of a number of factors, including an independent purchase price allocation for Genex obtained as of the acquisition date and related to research and development projects in-process as of the acquisition date which have not reached technological feasibility and for which no alternative use exists. The projects in process were in the areas of intelligent surveillance, three-dimensional imaging, and medical imaging.
 
Amortization of intangible assets
 
Amortization of intangible assets for the year ended June 30, 2006 was $1,786,146. Amortization of intangible assets for the six months ended June 30, 2005 was $611,471. Amortization expense relates to the definite-lived intangible assets acquired in conjunction with Genex and EOIR effective as of February 2005.

Operating loss

The operating loss for the year ended June 30, 2006 was $1,775,753. The operating loss for the six months ended June 30, 2005 was $3,408,427.
 
Interest expense for the year ended June 30, 2006 was $3,179,672. Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2005 was $446,027.
 
 Other (expenses) income
 
In connection with the acquisition of EOIR by Markland, EOIR issued $11,000,000 in original principal amount of notes due to the former stockholders of EOIR. The fair market value of these notes was $9,532,044 as determined by Markland’s management based on a number of factors including an independent valuation. The discount of $1,467,956 is being amortized to interest expense over the life of the note. Non-cash interest expense related to the amortization of this discount was $293,592 for the year ended June 30, 2006 and $110,097 for the six months ended June 30, 2005. These notes bear interest at the rate of six percent (6%) per annum and must be repaid within the next three years. Subsequent to June 30, 2006, Technest pre-paid outstanding principal of $4,952,526 of certain of the EOIR promissory notes. After these payments, there remain outstanding EOIR notes having a total principal balance of $1,655,893. Interest expense related to these notes was approximately $533,200 for the year ended June 30, 2006 and $324,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2005.

In the year ended June 30, 2006, Technest charged to interest expense $2,204,461 (including $2,104,461 paid in common stock) related to liquidated damages incurred for failure to have an effective registration statement.

Derivative income (loss) represents the changes in the fair value of certain warrants issued by Technest on February 14, 2005. These warrants did not meet the requirements for classification as equity instruments since the Company could not conclude that the warrants were settleable in unregistered shares of its common stock. As a result, the Company was required to reflect these warrants as derivative liabilities on the balance sheet. Each period, the change in the fair value of the warrants was charged (credited) to the statement of operations. In the year ended June 30, 2006 and the six months ended June 30, 2005, changes in the fair value of the warrants recorded as derivative income (loss) in the statements of operations was $25,046,489 and ($30,212,400), respectively. Derivative income (loss) had no impact of the Company’s cash flows and none of the warrants have been settled in cash. The Company determined the fair value of the warrants using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Excluding derivative income (loss) would have resulted in pro forma net loss applicable to common shareholders would have been ($4,793,825) and ($6,403,735) for the year ended June 30, 2006 and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively. Pro forma basic and diluted loss per common share would have been ($0.31) and ($0.60) for the year ended June 30, 2006 and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively.

On September 30, 2005, the Company amended the terms of its Registration Rights Agreement such that any liquidated damages would only be payable in common stock. As a result of this amendment, the Company was able to conclude that the warrants could be settled in unregistered shares. Therefore, the warrants were no longer required to be recorded as derivative liabilities and there have been no additional derivative income (loss) recorded related to these warrants since that date.

Other income for the year ended June 30, 2006 and the six months ended June 30, 2005 was $161,600 and $40,567, respectively, and was primarily related to interest income on cash balances.

 
Net income (loss) applicable to common shareholders

The net income applicable to common stockholders for the year ended June 30, 2006 was $20,252,664. As previously described, the net income was entirely due to derivative income of $25,046,489.

The net (loss) applicable to common stockholders for the six months ended June 30, 2005 was ($36,616,135). This reflects the non-cash deemed dividends related to the beneficial conversion features of $124,848 for Series A convertible preferred stock and $2,465,000 for Series C convertible preferred stock. It also includes a derivative loss of ($30,212,400).

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Cash and Working Capital

On June 30, 2006, Technest had a negative working capital balance of $3,525,242. Technest’s current liabilities include $595,782 due to Markland, Technest’s parent company. Net cash provided by operating activities was $903,036 for the year ended June 30, 2006. Net non-cash income included in the net income of $20,252,664 totaled $20,140,290 while changes in the components of working capital provided cash of $790,662. Most of the change in working capital was related to a reduction of amounts due to related parties of $1,553,960 plus an increase in accounts receivable of $3,832,138 which was offset by an increase in payables and accrued liabilities of $5,979,373. Derivative income (loss) had no impact on cash or net cash provided by operations.

Cash Used in Investing Activities

In the year ended June 30, 2006, Technest used cash of $324,499 for the acquisition of property and equipment and received cash of $29,956 upon the sale of certain equipment.

Cash Used in Financing Activities

In the year ended June 30, 2006, $2,858,891 was used for loan repayments, primarily related to the EOIR seller notes.
 
Sources of Liquidity

During the year ended June 30, 2006, we satisfied our cash requirements primarily by generating positive operating cash flows and using our cash reserves. Although the Company had a negative working capital balance of $3,525,242 at June 30, 2006 and net cash decreased $2,250,398 for the year ended June 30, 2006, the Company had $3.4 million in cash and cash equivalents at the end of June 2006 and the Company’s funded contract backlog from the Government was $41.4 million. In addition, subsequent to year-end, the Company obtained a revolving line of credit with a commercial bank in the maximum amount of $10 million. Although $4.9 million of this line was used to pre-pay existing indebtedness, the balance, under certain conditions, is available to fund the Company’s working capital needs. As a result of the forgoing, management believes that Technest has sufficient sources of liquidity to satisfy its obligations for at least the next 12 months.

Legal
 
Technest Holdings, Inc.

On or about July 23, 1998, H & H Acquisition Corporation, individually and purportedly on behalf of Technest Holdings, commenced an action in United States District Court, Southern District of New York entitled “H & H Acquisition Corp., individually and on behalf of Technest Holdings, Inc. v. Financial Intranet Holdings, Inc. Technest Holdings, Inc., F/K /A Financial Intranet, Inc., Ben Stein, Interwest Transfer Co., Steven A. Sanders, Michael Sheppard, Maura Marx, Henry A. Schwartz, Leonard Gotshalk, Gotshalk Enterprises, Law Office of Steven A. Sanders, P.C. and Beckman, Millman & Sanders, LLP, 98 Civ. 5269”. The plaintiffs are purporting to act on behalf of Technest in the context of a shareholder’s derivative suit. The action’s principal basis appears to be a claim that Ben Stein, a former director and Secretary of Technest, wrongfully claims ownership of shares of common stock that Stein agreed to purchase from H&H. According to H&H, these shares belong to them. H&H asserts sixteen causes of action. Only some make allegations against Technest Holdings, Inc., Michael Sheppard and Maura Marx, former officers of Technest.
 
Technest, Mr. Sheppard and Ms. Marx believe that the claims against Technest, Mr. Sheppard and Ms. Marx are without merit and are vigorously defending the action. Technest, Mr. Sheppard and Ms. Marx have filed responses to the claims against them. The responses deny all material allegations of the complaint and the claim asserted by the transfer agent, and asserts a variety of defenses. We cannot make any assurances about the litigation’s outcome.

In June 2006, the court directed the parties to address the court’s continuing subject matter jurisdiction over Technest in the H&H matter. Technest has responded to the court’s direction and believes that as a result of intervening corporate actions, the injunctive relief sought by the plaintiff which gives rise the court’s subject matter jurisdiction in this case has been rendered moot, thereby depriving the court of continuing subject matter jurisdiction. Technest believes that the case as currently styled is fundamentally a dispute between H&H Acquisition Corp. and Ben Stein.

As of October 9, 2006, Technest has not been notified of a trial date for this matter.

On or about May 30, 2006, Deer Creek Fund LLC filed a claim for Interference with Contract and Breach of the Implied Covenant of Good Faith and Fair Dealing against Technest, seeking unspecified monetary damages.  Deer Creek alleges misconduct on the part of Technest related to a proposed sale by Deer Creek of 157,163 shares of Technest common stock at $7.00 per share and the applicability of certain selling restrictions under a registration rights agreement entered into between the parties. Technest believes that the allegations in this lawsuit are entirely without merit. Technest has been aggressively defending this action, and has filed an answer denying Deer Creek’s allegations and vigorously opposes all relief sought.

EOIR Technologies, Inc.

On or about September 16, 2004, Joseph R. Moulton, Sr. initiated a lawsuit in the Circuit Court of Spotsylvania County, Virginia, against Markland, EOIR, and our former Chief Executive Officer and former Director, Robert Tarini, in his capacity as Markland’s Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Moulton was the largest single shareholder of EOIR prior to its acquisition by Markland, owning approximately 67% of the EOIR capital stock. Mr. Moulton received approximately $5,863,000 in cash and a promissory note of EOIR in the approximate principal amount of $6,967,000 for his shares of EOIR at the closing of the acquisition of EOIR by Markland.
 
In his complaint Mr. Moulton asserts, among other things, that Markland and EOIR breached their obligations under the Stock Purchase Agreement, dated June 30, 2004, pursuant to which Markland acquired EOIR, by terminating Mr. Moulton's employment with EOIR and removing him from the EOIR board of directors.
 
On August 3, 2006, Mr. Moulton, Technest, Markland, EOIR and Robert Tarini reached a settlement agreement pursuant to which upon payment of $120,000 and the pre-payment of certain EOIR outstanding promissory notes, the parties each dismissed their claims against one another. The payments required by the settlement agreement were made on August 10, 2006.

Markland and EOIR were notified on July 11, 2005 by counsel for Greg and Mary Williams, former shareholders and employees of EOIR and, in the case of Mr. Williams, a former director of Markland, that the Williams’ filed a lawsuit in the Commonwealth of Virginia, naming EOIR and Markland as defendants, seeking damages in the amount of $3,000,000 regarding a number of contractual disputes involving the registration of shares of Markland common stock underlying certain options issued to the Williams’ in connection with the acquisition of EOIR by Markland and severance payments pursuant to severance agreements by and among the Williams’, EOIR and Markland. On August 3, 2005, EOIR and Markland filed an answer and a demurrer denying all liability. On November 4, 2005, the Court heard the demurrer filed by EOIR Technologies, Inc. and Markland Technologies, Inc. and denied it. On April 6, 2006, a hearing was held in the Circuit Court for the City of Fredericksburg, Virginia on the Williams’ motion for summary judgment. On May 4, 2006, the court granted the Williams’ motion for summary judgment with regard to liability on Count I of the Williams’ claim regarding severance payment and Count III of their claim regarding Markland’s failure to register shares of Markland’s common stock underlying their options. We have, and continue to assert that Count III of the Williams’ complaint does not allege wrongdoing by EOIR and thus, we believe that we have no liability on that claim. Count II of the claim, which seeks a declaration that the promissory notes issued to Mr. and Mrs. Williams in connection with the acquisition of EOIR by Markland on June 29, 2004 are in default and an acceleration of the payments due under those notes, was not addressed by the court’s order.
On July 27, 2006, the Company entered into an agreement with the Williams pursuant to which the Company paid them $246,525 in satisfaction of their claims for severance under Count I and agreed to pay the outstanding balance of their promissory notes, along with all accrued but unpaid interest, in satisfaction of Count II which was paid on August 10, 2006. The Williams continue to assert claims against us for attorney’s fees and costs on all three counts of their complaint. Count III was not addressed by this agreement.
 
On September 1, 2006, the Company entered into an agreement with Markland pursuant to which we agreed to indemnify Markland against any judgment for damages or attorney’s fees ordered by the Court pursuant to Counts I or II and Markland agreed to indemnify the Company against any judgment for damages or attorney’s fees ordered by the Court pursuant to Count III.
 
The case is currently set for trial on November 14, 15 and 16, 2006, at which time the damages, if any, for Count III will be determined as well as costs and attorney’s fees, if applicable, for Counts I, II and III.
 
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
We have a letter of credit in the amount of $250,000 issued in favor of a bank in conjunction with our corporate credit cards. Other than this letter of credit, we have no other off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to stockholders. As of June 30, 2006, Technest had warrants outstanding for the purchase of 374,286 shares of common stock. However, due to the net share settlement provisions of these warrants, Technest does not expect any material cash proceeds upon exercise.
 
Effect of inflation and changes in prices
 
Management does not believe that inflation and changes in price will have a material effect on operations.
 
Critical Accounting Policies
 
The preparation of Technest's financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the amounts of revenues and expenses recorded during the reporting periods. We base our estimates on historical experience, where applicable, and other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from our estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
 
The sections below present information about the nature of and rationale for our critical accounting policies.
 
Principles Of Consolidation
 
Our consolidated financial statements for the periods presented include the accounts of Technest, and our wholly-owned subsidiaries- Genex and EOIR. We have eliminated all significant inter-company balances and transactions.
 
 
 
-20-

 
 
Concentrations
 
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 105, "Disclosure of Information about Financial Instruments with Off-Balance-Sheet Risk and Financial Instruments with Concentrations of Credit Risk," requires that we disclose any significant off-balance-sheet and credit risk concentrations. We are subject to concentrations of credit risk because the majority of our revenues and accounts receivable are derived from the U.S. government, including the Department of Defense, who is not required to provide collateral for amounts owed to us. We do not believe that we are subject to any unusual credit risks, other than the normal level of risk attendant to operating our business.
 
For the periods presented, we had cash balances in banks in excess of the maximum amount insured by the FDIC. In addition, we derive substantially all of our contract revenue from contracts with Federal government agencies. Consequently, substantially all of our accounts receivable are due from Federal government agencies either directly or through other government contractors.
 
Research And Development
 
We charge research and development costs to expense as incurred. Funded research and development is part of our revenue base and the associated costs are included in cost of revenues. We capitalize costs related to acquired technologies that have achieved technological feasibility and have alternative uses. We expense as research and development costs the technologies we acquire if they are in process at the date of acquisition or have no alternative uses.

No new technologies were acquired during the year ended June 30, 2006 and as such there are no capitalized or expensed in-process research and development costs during this period relating thereto. During the six months ended June 30, 2005, we had, however, acquired in-process technology as a part of our acquisition of Genex. These technologies had neither achieved technological feasibility nor had alternative uses and as such the research and development costs of $2,095,000 were expensed in the six months ended June 30, 2005.

The amount recorded as expense for in-process research and development (IPR&D) was arrived at by management after considering a number of factors, including an independent purchase price allocation analysis by a leading valuation and financial advisory firm serving the business, legal and financial communities throughout New England. For this purpose, the various research and development projects were identified and the Income, Expenses and the resulting Net Income from the identified projects was projected for five fiscal years from 2006 to 2010. Given the nature of the technology embodied in the IPR&D and the potential for technological obsolescence, a projection period of five years was deemed appropriate. Charges for use of contributory assets, including working capital, fixed assets and assembled workforce, were applied as a reduction to net income. The resultant economic income was discounted at 24% to arrive at the cumulative present value.
 
Impairment Of Goodwill And Amortizable Intangibles
 
In accordance with SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," we review goodwill and amortizable intangibles for impairment annually, or more frequently if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of our business enterprise below its carrying value. The impairment test requires us to estimate the fair value of our overall business enterprise down to the reporting unit level. We identify and record our intangible assets at the reporting unit level and also conduct our impairment tests at the reporting unit level as required by paragraphs 30-31 of SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”.
We estimate fair value using either a discounted cash flows model, or an approach using market comparables, to determine fair value. Under the discounted cash flows method, we utilize estimated long-term revenue and cash flows forecasts developed as part of our planning process, together with an applicable discount rate, to determine fair value. Under the market approach, fair value is determined by comparing us to similar businesses (or guideline companies). Selection of guideline companies and market ratios require management's judgment. The use of different assumptions within our discounted cash flows model or within our market approach model when determining fair value could result in different valuations for goodwill.
Estimated Useful Lives Of Amortizable Intangible Assets
 
We amortize our amortizable intangible assets over the shorter of the contractual/legal life or the estimated economic life.

Definite-lived intangible assets acquired from Genex represent costs of outside legal counsel related to obtaining new patents.  Patent costs are amortized over the legal life of the patents, generally fifteen years, starting on the patent issue date.  The costs of unsuccessful and abandoned patent applications are expensed when abandoned.  The cost to maintain existing patents are expensed as incurred.  The nature of the technology underlying these patents relates to 3D imaging, intelligent surveillance and 3D facial recognition technologies. 
 
 
 
-21-

 
 
Technest also acquired commercialized technology relating to 3D facial recognition cameras and contracts and customer relationships from the application of 3D imaging technologies to breast cancer research for the National Institute of Health and disposable sensors and 3D face mapping for the Department of Defense. The amounts assigned to definite-lived intangible assets were determined by management based on a number of factors including an independent purchase price allocation analysis. These assets have an estimated useful life of five years.

Contracts and Customer relationships acquired as a result of business combinations (see Note 3) have been valued by management considering various factors including independent appraisals done by valuation and financial advisory firms in accordance with SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations”, SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”, FASB Concepts Statement Number 7 and EITF Issue No. 02-17, “Recognition of Customer Relationship Assets Acquired in a Business Combination”. These assets are being amortized over the contractual terms of the existing contracts plus anticipated contract renewals in accordance with EITF Issue No. 02-17.
 
Impairment Of Long-Lived Assets
 
Pursuant to SFAS No. 144, we continually monitor events and changes in circumstances that could indicate carrying amounts of long-lived assets may not be recoverable. We recognize an impairment loss when the carrying value of an asset exceeds expected cash flows. Accordingly, when indicators or impairment of assets are present, we evaluate the carrying value of such assets in relation to the operating performance and future undiscounted cash flows of the underlying business. Our policy is to record an impairment loss when we determine that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. No impairment charges were recorded in .any of the periods presented.

Derivative Instruments

Technest generally does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash-flow or market risks. However, certain warrants to purchase common stock that are indexed to the Company's common stock are classified as liabilities when the Company is not permitted to settle the instruments in unregistered shares. In such instances, net-cash settlement is assumed for financial reporting purposes, even when the terms of the underlying contracts do not provide for net-cash settlement. Such financial instruments are initially recorded at relative fair value with subsequent changes in fair value charged (credited) to operations in each reporting period. If the Company subsequently achieves the ability to settle the instruments in unregistered shares, the instruments are reclassified to equity at their fair value.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
Revenues from products are recognized when the following criteria are met: (1) there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, such as contracts, purchase orders or written requests; (2) delivery has been completed and no significant obligations remain; (3) price to the customer is fixed or determinable; and (4) collection is probable.
 
Revenues from time and materials contracts are recognized as costs are incurred and billed. Allowable costs incurred but not billed as of a period end are recorded as work in process.
 
Revenues from firm fixed price contracts are recognized on the percentage-of-completion method, either measured based on the proportion of costs recorded to date on the contract to total estimated contract costs or measured based on the proportion of labor hours expended to date on the contract to total estimated contract labor hours, as specified in the contract.
 
Provisions for estimated losses on all contracts are made in the period in which such losses become known. Changes in job performance, job conditions, and estimated profitability, including those arising from contract penalty provisions, and final contract settlements may result in revisions to costs and income and are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined.

The Company participates in teaming agreements where it is the primary contractor and it also participates with other organizations to provide complex integrated remote sensor product and technology development services to the Federal government. EITF Issue No. 99-19, “Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an Agent” discusses the factors or indicators which should be considered in evaluating whether a company should recognize revenue based on (a) the gross amount billed to a customer because it has earned revenue from the sale of the goods or services or (b) the net amount retained (that is, the amount billed to the customer less the amount paid to a supplier) because it has earned a commission or fee. The Task Force reached a consensus that this is a matter of judgment that depends on the relevant facts and circumstances. The Company considered that it is the primary obligator in these arrangements and has managerial and oversight responsibility for all team members as well as the responsibility for the ultimate acceptability of all integrated technical performance criteria under the contracts for deliverable services and products. The Company also considered that, as the prime contractor it accepts risks for these customer funded tasks. The Company also considered that in many cases part of the services ordered by the customer are performed by the Company itself. Further in some cases the Company has discretion in supplier selection and also a reasonable latitude to establish the price with the customer for the service. The Company believes that based on the aforesaid considerations it meets with the criteria for Gross Revenue Reporting as discussed in EITF Issue No. 99-19. The Company therefore includes as revenues the amounts that they bill under these teaming arrangements and include as direct costs amounts that are reimbursable or paid to team members.
 
Revenues from teaming agreements for the year ended June 30, 2006 and the six months ended June 30, 2005 were $4.4 million and $1.7 million respectively.
 
Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards
 
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123(R) (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment, which is a revision of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. SFAS No. 123(R) supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and Amends SFAS No. 95, Statement of Cash Flows. Generally, the approach in SFAS No. 123(R) is similar to the approach described in SFAS No. 123. However, SFAS No. 123(R) requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. Pro forma disclosure is not an alternative. SFAS No. 123(R) must be adopted no later than the first interim period for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. Technest expects to adopt SFAS No. 123(R) on July 1, 2006.
 
SFAS No. 123(R) permits public companies to adopt its requirements using one of two methods: a “modified prospective” approach or a “modified retrospective” approach. Under the modified prospective approach, compensation cost is recognized beginning with the effective date based on the requirements of SFAS 123(R) for all share-based payments granted after the effective date and the requirements of SFAS No. 123(R) for all awards granted to employees prior to the effective date of SFAS No. 123(R) that remain unvested on the effective date. The modified retrospective approach includes the requirements of the modified prospective approach but also permits entities to restate based on the amounts previously recognized under SFAS No. 123 for purposes of pro forma disclosures either for all prior periods presented or prior interim periods of the year of adoption. The Company is evaluating which method to adopt.
 
As permitted by SFAS No. 123, the Company currently accounts for the share-based payments made by Markland to its employees using APB Opinion No. 25’s intrinsic value method and, as such, generally recognizes no compensation cost for employee stock options. However, grants of Markland stock to employees have always been recorded at fair value as required under existing accounting standards. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) to have a material effect on its results of operations. However, the Company’s results of operations could be materially affected by share-based payments issued after the adoption of SFAS 123(R). The impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) cannot be predicted at this time because it will depend on levels of share-based payments granted by Markland or Technest to the Company’s employees in the future.
 
SFAS No. 123(R) also requires the benefits of tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation cost to be reported as a financing cash flow, rather than an operating cash flow under current accounting literature. Since the Company does not currently receive the benefit of tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation cost, because of its net operating loss position, the change will have no immediate impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154 "Accounting Changes and Error Corrections - A Replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3 ("SFAS 154")". SFAS 154 requires retrospective application to prior periods' financial statements of changes in accounting principle, unless it is impracticable to determine either the period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of the change. SFAS 154 does not change the guidance for reporting the correction of an error in previously issued financial statements or a change in accounting estimate. The provisions of SFAS 154 shall be effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 154 to have a material effect on the consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In July 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertain Tax Positions”, an Interpretation of SFAS No. 109 (“FIN 48”), which clarifies the criteria for recognition and measurement of benefits from uncertain tax positions. Under FIN 48, an entity should recognize a tax benefit when it is “more-likely-than-not”, based on the technical merits, that the position would be sustained upon examination by a taxing authority. The amount to be recognized, given the “more likely than not” threshold was passed, should be measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. Furthermore, any change in the recognition, derecognition or measurement of a tax position should be recognized in the interim period in which the change occurs. The Company expects to adopt FIN 48 as of July 1, 2007, and any change in net assets as a result of applying the Interpretation will be recognized as an adjustment to retained earnings on that date. The Company does not expect the adoption of FIN 48 to have a material effect on the consolidated financial position or results of operations.
 
In September 2006, the FASB issue SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measurement" ("SFAS 157"). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 17, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS 157 on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.


 
Any investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should consider carefully the risks described below and elsewhere in this report and the information under “Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements,” before you decide to buy our common stock. If any of the following risks, or other risks not presently known to us or that we currently believe are not material, develop into an actual event, then our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected. In that case, the trading price of our common stock could decline due to any of these risks and uncertainties, and you may lose part or all of your investment.

Risks Related To Our Business, Results Of Operations And Financial Condition
 
We have a limited operating history. As a result, it may be difficult to evaluate our prospects for profitable operations and our ability to produce a positive return on Genex or EOIR. 
 
Technest has a limited operating history on which a potential investor may base an evaluation of us, our prospects and our ability to operate Genex or EOIR profitably.  If Technest is unable to sustain profitable operations, investors may lose their entire investment in Technest.

-24-


We have a history of operating losses and cannot give assurance of future revenues or operating profits; investors may lose their entire investment.
 
Technest has had net operating losses each year since its inception. As of June 30, 2006, our accumulated deficit was $15,237,939. If Technest continues to suffer losses as it has in the past, investors may not receive any return on their investment and may lose their entire investment.
 
If we cannot obtain additional capital required to fund our operations and finance the growth our business, operating results and financial condition may suffer and the price of our stock may decline.
 
The development of our technologies will require additional capital, and our business plan is to acquire additional revenue-producing assets. Although we believe that we have sufficient sources of liquidity to satisfy our obligations for at least the next 12 months, we may be unable to obtain additional funds, if needed, in a timely manner or on acceptable terms, which may render us unable to fund our operations or expand our business. If we are unable to obtain capital when needed, we may have to restructure our business or delay or abandon our development and expansion plans. If this occurs, the price of our common stock may decline and you may lose part or all of your investment.
 
We will have ongoing capital needs as we expand our business.  If we raise additional funds through the sale of equity or convertible securities, your ownership percentage of our common stock will be reduced. In addition, these transactions may dilute the value of our common stock.  We may have to issue securities that have rights, preferences and privileges senior to our common stock.  The terms of any additional indebtedness may include restrictive financial and operating covenants that would limit our ability to compete and expand. Although we have been successful in the past in obtaining financing for working capital and acquisitions, there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain the additional financing we may need to fund our business, or that such financing will be available on acceptable terms.
 
We have grown quickly; if we cannot effectively manage our growth, our business may suffer.  
 
We have rapidly and significantly expanded our operations through the acquisitions of EOIR in August 2005 and Genex in February 2005.  This growth has placed, and is expected to continue to place, a strain on our personnel, management, financial and other resources.  Some of our officers have no prior senior management experience at public companies.  Our new employees include a number of key managerial, technical and operations personnel who have not yet been fully integrated into our operations.  To manage our growth effectively, we must, among other things:
 
 
·
upgrade and expand our contract support, manufacturing facilities and capacity in a timely manner;
 
 
·
successfully attract, train, motivate and manage a larger number of employees for contract support, manufacturing, sales and customer support activities;
 
 
·
control higher inventory and working capital requirements; and
 
 
·
improve the efficiencies within our operating, administrative, financial and accounting systems, procedures and controls.

To meet our growth objectives we must attract and retain highly skilled technical, operational, managerial and sales and marketing personnel.  If we fail to attract and retain the necessary personnel, we may be unable to achieve our business objectives and may lose our competitive position, which could lead to a significant decline in net sales.  We face significant competition for these skilled professionals from other companies, research and academic institutions, government entities and other organizations.
 
If we fail to manage our growth properly, we may incur unnecessary expenses and the efficiency of our operations may decline, adversely affecting our business and the price of our stock.

-25-


Future acquisitions of other companies, if any, may disrupt our business and result in additional expenses, which could harm our business.
 
We have made significant acquisitions in the past, and we plan to continue to review potential acquisition candidates, and our business plan includes building our business through strategic acquisitions. However, acceptable acquisition candidates may not be available in the future or may not be available on terms and conditions acceptable to us.
 
Acquisitions involve numerous risks including among others, difficulties and expenses incurred in the consummation of acquisitions and the assimilation of the operations, personnel, and services and products of the acquired companies. Additional risks associated with acquisitions include the difficulties of operating new businesses, the diversion of management's attention from other business concerns and the potential loss of key employees of the acquired company. If we do not successfully integrate the businesses we may acquire in the future, our business will suffer.
 
If we fail to realize some or all of the anticipated benefits from our acquisition of EOIR, our business will suffer.
 
Our combined company may fail to realize some or all of the anticipated benefits and synergies of the transaction as a result of, among other things, lower than expected order rates from customers of EOIR, unanticipated costs, deterioration in the U.S. economy and other factors. There can be no assurance that we will receive new orders under EOIR’s existing contract with the United States Army Night Vision and Electronic Sensors Directorate.
 
Some of our competitors are much larger than we are, have better name recognition than we do and have far greater financial and other resources than we do. If we cannot effectively compete, our business may suffer and the price of our stock would decrease.
 
With the U.S. government's large appropriation of money for homeland security programs, many companies are competing for the same homeland security contracts and there can be no assurance that Technest will effectively compete with large companies who have more resources and funds than we do. Several companies have been working on issues relevant to the safety of the American people for the past several years. Because of the services and additional human and financial resources that these larger companies can provide, they may be more attractive to the U.S. Government. Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman are providers of hardware engineering and systems engineering solutions. Computer Sciences Corporation and EDS provide computer and computer software solutions. Defense companies, such as General Dynamics, Boeing and Raytheon, are solutions providers that could easily expand their businesses into the homeland security business and are currently allocating resources to develop programs in this area.
  
Our business may suffer if we cannot protect our proprietary technology.
 
Our ability to compete depends significantly upon our patents, our trade secrets, our source code and our other proprietary technology.  Any misappropriation of our technology or the development of competing technology could seriously harm our competitive position, which could lead to a substantial reduction in revenue.
 
The steps we have taken to protect our technology may be inadequate to prevent others from using what we regard as our technology to compete with us. Our patents could be challenged, invalidated or circumvented, in which case the rights we have under our patents could provide no competitive advantages. Existing trade secrets, copyright and trademark laws offer only limited protection. In addition, the laws of some foreign countries do not protect our proprietary technology to the same extent as the laws of the United States, which could increase the likelihood of misappropriation.  Furthermore, other companies could independently develop similar or superior technology without violating our intellectual property rights.
 
If we resort to legal proceedings to enforce our intellectual property rights, the proceedings could be burdensome, disruptive and expensive, distract the attention of management, and there can be no assurance that we would prevail.
 
Claims by others that we infringe their intellectual property rights could increase our expenses and delay the development of our business. As a result, our business and financial condition could be harmed.
 
Our industries are characterized by the existence of a large number of patents and frequent claims and related litigation regarding patent and other intellectual property rights. We cannot be certain that our products do not and will not infringe issued patents, patents that may be issued in the future, or other intellectual property rights of others.

-26-


We do not conduct exhaustive patent searches to determine whether the technology used in our products infringes patents held by third parties. In addition, product development is inherently uncertain in a rapidly evolving technological environment in which there may be numerous patent applications pending, many of which are confidential when filed, with regard to similar technologies.
 
We may face claims by third parties that our products or technology infringe their patents or other intellectual property rights. Any claim of infringement could cause us to incur substantial costs defending against the claim, even if the claim is invalid, and could distract the attention of our management. If any of our products are found to violate third-party proprietary rights, we may be required to pay substantial damages. In addition, we may be required to re-engineer our products or obtain licenses from third parties to continue to offer our products. Any efforts to re-engineer our products or obtain licenses on commercially reasonable terms may not be successful, which would prevent us from selling our products, and, in any case, could substantially increase our costs and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
Fluctuations in our quarterly revenue and results of operations could depress the market price of our common stock.
 
Our future net sales and results of operations are likely to vary significantly from quarter to quarter due to a number of factors, many of which are outside our control. Accordingly, you should not rely on quarter-to-quarter comparisons of our results of operations as an indication of future performance. It is possible that our revenue or results of operations in a quarter will fall below the expectations of securities analysts or investors. If this occurs, the market price of our common stock could fall significantly. Our results of operations in any quarter can fluctuate for many reasons, including:
 
 
·
timing of orders from our largest customers - the DOD, Homeland Security, various INTEL and the United States Night Vision and Electronic Sensors Directorate;
 
 
·
our ability to perform under contracts and manufacture, test and deliver products in a timely and cost-effective manner;
 
 
·
our success in winning competitions for orders;
 
 
·
the timing of new product introductions by us or our competitors;
 
 
·
the mix of products we sell;
 
 
·
competitive pricing pressures; and
 
 
·
general economic climate.

A large portion of our expenses, including expenses for facilities, equipment, and personnel, are relatively fixed. Accordingly, if our revenues decline or do not grow as much as we anticipate, we might be unable to maintain or improve our operating margins. Any failure to achieve anticipated revenues could therefore significantly harm our operating results for a particular fiscal period.

Risks Related to Contracting with the United States Government

Our contract with the United States Army Night Vision and Electronic Sensors Directorate expires in July 2007. We are in the “re-compete” process. If we are not awarded a new contract, our revenues would decrease significantly and our financial condition would be adversely affected.

We have a contract with the United States Army Night Vision and Electronic Sensors Directorate that may provide for revenues of up to approximately $406 million (including revenue already recognized) depending upon the U.S. Army's needs of which our subsidiary, EOIR, recognized in excess of approximately $70.31 million in revenues for the year ended June 30, 2006 or 86.6% of our total consolidated revenues during that period. This contract expires in July 2007 and we anticipate that the U.S. Army will competitively award a replacement contract. We will expend substantial cost and managerial time and effort to prepare for the bid and proposal for this new contract. Although we believe that it is likely that we will be awarded a new contract, if we are not awarded a new contract, our revenues would significantly decrease and our financial condition could be adversely affected.

-27-


Although the U.S. Army has not announced the evaluation criteria for the replacement contract, there are several factors that are likely to be considered during the re-compete process, such as our ability to do the work or find subcontractors that can do the work; our competitive pricing; our reputation, the Government’s prior experience with our work; our competition; changes in Government programs or requirements; budgetary priorities; changes in fiscal policies; curtailment of the Government’s use of technology solutions firms; new contract requirements; and the government’s need for a diverse contracting base. If we are not able to satisfy the Government’s requirements, we may not be awarded a new contract.
 
Our current and future expected revenues are derived from a small number of customers within the U.S. government such that the loss of any one ultimate customer could materially reduce our revenues. As a result, our financial condition and our stock price would be adversely affected.
 
We currently derive substantially all of our revenue from contracts with the U.S. Government, including the DOD, Homeland Security and various INTEL within the U.S. Government. We have a contract with the United States Army Night Vision and Electronic Sensors Directorate that may provide for revenues of up to approximately $406 million (including revenue already recognized) depending upon the U.S. Army's needs of which our subsidiary, EOIR, recognized in excess of approximately $70.31 million in revenues for the year ended June 30, 2006 or 86.6% of our total consolidated revenues during that period. Although we expect this contract to account for a substantial portion of our revenues going forward, this contract expires in July 2007 and we are in the process of competing for a new contract. If we are not awarded a new contract, our revenues would significantly decrease and our financial condition could be adversely affected.
 
In addition, the loss of this customer due to cutbacks, competition, or other reasons would materially reduce our revenue base. Annual or quarterly losses may occur or be increased if there are material gaps or delays in orders from one of our largest customers that are not replaced by other orders or other sources of income.

Our largest customers are the DOD, Homeland Security, and various other INTEL whose operations are subject to unique political and budgetary constraints, involve competitive bidding, and our contacts with these customers may be subject to cancellation with or without penalty, which may produce volatility in our earnings and revenue.
 
Our largest customers are the DOD, Homeland Security, and various other INTEL. Due to political and budgetary processes and other scheduling delays that may frequently occur relating to the contract or bidding process, some government agency orders may be canceled or delayed, and the receipt of revenues or payments may be substantially delayed. This irregular and unpredictable revenue stream makes it difficult for our business to operate smoothly. Obtaining contracts from government agencies is challenging, and government contracts often include provisions that are not standard in private commercial transactions. For example, government contracts may:
 
 
·
include provisions that allow the government agency to terminate the contract without penalty under some circumstances;
 
 
·
be subject to purchasing decisions of agencies that are subject to political influence;
 
 
·
contain onerous procurement procedures; and
 
 
·
be subject to cancellation if government funding becomes unavailable.

In addition, federal government agencies routinely audit government contracts. These agencies review a contractor's performance on its contract, pricing practices, cost structure and compliance with applicable laws, regulations and standards. These audits may occur several years after completion of the audited work. An audit could result in a substantial adjustment to our revenues because we would not be reimbursed for any costs improperly allocated to a specific contract, and we would be forced to refund any improper costs already reimbursed. If a government audit uncovers improper or illegal activities, we may be subject to civil and criminal penalties and administrative sanctions, including termination of contracts forfeiture of profits, suspension of payments, fines and suspension or debarment from doing business with federal government agencies. In addition, our reputation could be harmed if allegations of impropriety were made against us.

-28-


Our business could be adversely affected by changes in budgetary priorities of the Government.
 
Because we derive a substantial majority of our revenue from contracts with the Government, we believe that the success and development of our business will continue to depend on our successful participation in Government contract programs. Changes in Government budgetary priorities could directly affect our financial performance. A significant decline in government expenditures, or a shift of expenditures away from programs that we support, or a change in Government contracting policies, could cause Government agencies to reduce their purchases under contracts, to exercise their right to terminate contracts at any time without penalty or not to exercise options to renew contracts. Any such actions could cause our actual results to differ materially from those anticipated. Among the factors that could seriously affect our Government contracting business are:
 
 
 
changes in Government programs or requirements;
 
 
 
budgetary priorities limiting or delaying Government spending generally, or specific departments or agencies in particular, and changes in fiscal policies or available funding, including potential Governmental shutdowns (as occurred during the Government’s 1996 fiscal year);
 
 
 
curtailment of the Government’s use of technology solutions firms.
 
Our Government contracts may be terminated by the government at any time and may contain other provisions permitting the government not to continue with contract performance. If lost contracts are not replaced, our operating results may differ materially from those anticipated.
 
We derive substantially all of our revenue from Government contracts that typically span one or more base years and one or more option years. The option periods typically cover more than half of the contract’s potential duration. Government agencies generally have the right not to exercise these option periods. In addition, our contracts typically also contain provisions permitting a government client to terminate the contract for its convenience. A decision not to exercise option periods or to terminate contracts could result in significant revenue shortfalls from those anticipated.

 Our Government contracts contain numerous provisions that are unfavorable to us.
 
Government contracts, including ours, contain provisions and are subject to laws and regulations that give the government rights and remedies, some of which are not typically found in commercial contracts, including allowing the Government to:
 
 
 
cancel multi-year contracts and related orders if funds for contract performance for any subsequent year become unavailable;
 
 
 
claim rights in systems and software developed by us;
 
 
 
suspend or debar us from doing business with the Government or with a Government agency, impose fines and penalties and subject us to criminal prosecution; and
 
 
 
control or prohibit the export of our data and technology.
 
If the Government terminates any of our contracts for convenience, we may recover only our incurred or committed costs, settlement expenses and profit on work completed prior to the termination. If the Government terminates any of our contracts for default, we may be unable to recover even those amounts, and instead may be liable for excess costs incurred by the Government in procuring undelivered items and services from another source. Depending on the value of the particular contract, that type of termination could cause our actual results to differ materially from those anticipated. Our Government contracts also contain organizational conflict of interest clauses that limit our ability to compete for certain related follow-on contracts. For example, when we work on the design of a particular system, we may be precluded from competing for the contract to install that system. As we grow our business, we expect to experience organizational conflicts of interest more frequently. Depending upon the value of the matters affected by an organizational conflict of interest issue that precludes our participation in a program or contract could cause our actual results to differ materially from those anticipated.

-29-


We derive significant revenue from contracts and task orders awarded through a competitive bidding process. If we are unable to consistently win new awards over any extended period, our business and prospects will be adversely affected.
 
Substantially all of our contracts and task orders with the Government are awarded through a competitive bidding process. We expect that much of the business that we will seek in the foreseeable future will continue to be awarded through competitive bidding. Budgetary pressures and changes in the procurement process have caused many Government clients to increasingly purchase goods and services through indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity, or ID/IQ, contracts, GSA schedule contracts and other government-wide acquisition contracts. These contracts, some of which are awarded to multiple contractors, have increased competition and pricing pressure, requiring that we make sustained post-award efforts to realize revenue under each such contract. In addition, in consideration of recent publicity regarding the practice of agencies awarding work under such contracts that is arguably outside their intended scope, both the GSA and the DOD have initiated programs aimed to ensure that all work fits properly within the scope of the contract under which it is awarded. The net effect of such programs may reduce the number of bidding opportunities available to us. Moreover, even if we are highly qualified to work on a particular new contract, we might not be awarded business because of the Government’s policy and practice of maintaining a diverse contracting base.
 
The competitive bidding process presents a number of risks, including the following:
 
 
 
we bid on programs before the completion of their design, which may result in unforeseen technological difficulties and cost overruns;
 
 
 
we expend substantial cost and managerial time and effort to prepare bids and proposals for contracts that we may not win;
 
 
 
we may be unable to estimate accurately the resources and cost structure that will be required to service any contract we win; and
 
 
 
we may encounter expense and delay if our competitors protest or challenge awards of contracts to us in competitive bidding, and any such protest or challenge could result in the resubmission of bids on modified specifications, or in the termination, reduction or modification of the awarded contract.
 
If we are unable to win particular contracts, we may be unable to provide clients services that are purchased under those contracts for a number of years. If we are unable to consistently win new contract awards over any extended period, our business and prospects will be adversely affected and that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those anticipated. In addition, upon the expiration of a contract, if the client requires further services of the type provided by the contract, there is frequently a competitive re-bidding process. There can be no assurance that we will win any particular bid, or that we will be able to replace business lost upon expiration or completion of a contract, and the termination or non-renewal of any of our significant contracts could cause our actual results to differ materially from those anticipated.
 
Our business may suffer if we or our employees are unable to obtain the security clearances or other qualifications we and they need to perform services for our clients.
 
Many of our Government contracts require us to have security clearances and employ personnel with specified levels of education, work experience and security clearances. High-level security clearances can be difficult and time-consuming to obtain. If we or our employees lose or are unable to obtain necessary security clearances, we may not be able to win new business and our existing clients could terminate their contracts with us or decide not to renew them. To the extent we cannot obtain or maintain the required security clearances for our employees working on a particular contract, we may not derive the revenue anticipated from the contract, which could cause our results to differ materially from those anticipated.
 
The Government may change its procurement or other practices in a manner adverse to us.
 
The Government may change its procurement practices or adopt new contracting rules and regulations, such as cost accounting standards. It could also adopt new contracting methods relating to GSA contracts or other government-wide acquisition contracts, or adopt new socio-economic requirements. These changes could impair our ability to obtain new contracts or win re-competed contracts. New contracting requirements could be costly or administratively difficult for us to satisfy, and, as a result could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated.
 
Restrictions on or other changes to the Government’s use of service contracts may harm our operating results.
 
We derive a significant amount of revenue from service contracts with the Government. The Government may face restrictions from new legislation, regulations or union pressures, on the nature and amount of services the Government may obtain from private contractors. Any reduction in the Government’s use of private contractors to provide services could cause our actual results to differ materially from those anticipated.

-30-


Our contracts and administrative processes and systems are subject to audits and cost adjustments by the Government, which could reduce our revenue, disrupt our business or otherwise adversely affect our results of operations.
 
Government agencies, including the Defense Contract Audit Agency, or DCAA, routinely audit and investigate Government contracts and Government contractors’ administrative processes and systems. These agencies review our performance on contracts, pricing practices, cost structure and compliance with applicable laws, regulations and standards. They also review our compliance with regulations and policies and the adequacy of our internal control systems and policies, including our purchasing, property, estimating, compensation and management information systems. Any costs found to be improperly allocated to a specific contract will not be reimbursed, and any such costs already reimbursed must be refunded. Moreover, if any of the administrative processes and systems is found not to comply with requirements, we may be subjected to increased government oversight and approval that could delay or otherwise adversely affect our ability to compete for or perform contracts. Therefore, an unfavorable outcome to an audit by the DCAA or another agency could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated. If an investigation uncovers improper or illegal activities, we may be subject to civil and criminal penalties and administrative sanctions, including termination of contracts, forfeitures of profits, suspension of payments, fines and suspension or debarment from doing business with the Government. In addition, we could suffer serious reputational harm if allegations of impropriety were made against us. Each of these results could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated.
   
Unfavorable government audit results could force us to adjust previously reported operating results and could subject us to a variety of penalties and sanctions.
 
The federal government audits and reviews our performance on awards, pricing practices, cost structure, and compliance with applicable laws, regulations, and standards. Like most large government vendors, our awards are audited and reviewed on a continual basis by federal agencies, including the Defense Contract Management Agency and the Defense Contract Audit Agency. An audit of our work, including an audit of work performed by companies we have acquired or may acquire or subcontractors we have hired or may hire, could result in a substantial adjustment in our operating results for the applicable period. For example, any costs which were originally reimbursed could subsequently be disallowed. In this case, cash we have already collected may need to be refunded and our operating margins may be reduced. To date, we have not experienced any significant adverse consequences as a result of government audits.
 
If a government audit uncovers improper or illegal activities, we may be subject to civil and criminal penalties and administrative sanctions, including termination of contracts, forfeiture of profits, suspension of payments, fines and suspension or debarment from doing business with U.S. Government agencies.

Employee misconduct, including security breaches, could result in the loss of clients and our suspension or disbarment from contracting with the Government.
 
We may be unable to prevent our employees from engaging in misconduct, fraud or other improper activities that could adversely affect our business and reputation. Misconduct could include the failure to comply with procurement regulations, regulations regarding the protection of classified information and legislation regarding the pricing of labor and other costs in government contracts. Many of the systems we develop involve managing and protecting information involved in national security and other sensitive functions. A security breach in one of these systems could prevent us from having access to such critically sensitive systems. Other examples of employee misconduct could include time card fraud and violations of the Anti-Kickback Act. The precautions we take to prevent and detect this activity may not be effective, and we could face unknown risks or losses. As a result of employee misconduct, we could face fines and penalties, loss of security clearance and suspension or debarment from contracting with the Government, which could cause our actual results to differ materially from those anticipated.

If our subcontractors or vendors fail to perform their contractual obligations, our performance as a prime contractor and our ability to obtain future business could be materially and adversely impacted and our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated.
 
Our performance of Government contracts may involve the issuance of subcontracts or purchase orders to other companies upon which we rely to perform all or a portion of the work we are obligated to deliver to our clients. A failure by one or more of our subcontractors or vendors to satisfactorily deliver on a timely basis the agreed-upon supplies and/or perform the agreed-upon services may materially and adversely impact our ability to perform our obligations as a prime contractor.

-31-


A performance deficiency by a subcontractor or a vendor could result in the Government terminating our contract for default. A default termination could expose us to liability for excess costs of re-procurement by the Government and have a material adverse effect on our ability to compete for future contracts and task orders.
 
Depending upon the level of problem experienced, such problems with subcontractors could cause our actual results to differ materially from those anticipated.

Risks Related To “Controlled Companies”

We are a majority owned subsidiary of Markland. As a result, the ability of minority shareholders to influence our affairs is extremely limited.
 
As of October 9, 2006, Markland controlled approximately 83% of outstanding Technest common stock on a primary basis.  As a result, Markland has the ability to control all matters submitted to the stockholders of Technest for approval (including the election and removal of directors) and to control Technest’s management and affairs.  Pursuant to the Stockholder Agreement between Markland and Technest dated March 13, 2006, Markland agreed to elect Joseph Mackin, Gino Pereira, and our three independent directors, Robert Doto, Gen. David Gust (US Army Rtd.) and Darlene Deptula-Hicks.
 
This concentration of ownership may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control, impeding a merger, consolidation, takeover or other business combination involving us, or discouraging a potential acquirer from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control, which in turn could materially and adversely affect the market price of the common stock.
 
Minority shareholders of Technest will be unable to affect the outcome of stockholder voting as long as Markland or any other party retains a controlling interest. Further, pursuant to the Stockholder Agreement entered into between Markland and Technest on March 13, 2006, Markland agreed for a period of twelve months from the date of the agreement, not to vote the shares held by it to increase the size of our board of directors or to remove any of the directors currently in office.

If our majority stockholder, Markland Technologies, Inc., sells or transfers all or a significant portion of the shares of our common stock that it currently holds, a change of control could result, which could significant disrupt our operations.

Currently, Markland owns approximately 83% of our outstanding common stock. Markland has declared a distribution to its stockholders of 2,500,000 shares that it owns of Technest and has placed in escrow an aggregate of 4,640,192 shares of our common stock held by Markland to secure the conversion of the Markland Series E preferred stock. Upon the distribution to its stockholders of 2,500,000 shares of Technest, Markland’s ownership of Technest will be 67.7%. If all of the shares held in escrow were transferred by Markland, Markland’s ownership of Technest would drop to 39%. These holdings represent a significant portion of Markland’s assets. If Markland disposes of a large number of shares of our common stock for any reason, a change of control may result.  In particular, Markland is subject to various legal actions, proceedings and claims and may become subject to additional actions, proceedings and claims in the future. Were any of these claims to result in an outcome adverse to Markland, the resulting damages or amounts paid in settlement could be satisfied partially or wholly with shares of our common stock. A change of control at the shareholder level could result in a change to the composition of our board and, ultimately, a change in our management and business plan.  Any such transition could lead to, among other things, a decline in service levels, disruption in our operations and departures of key personnel, which could in turn harm our business.

Gino Pereira serves as a director and Chief Financial Officer of Technest and Markland. Conflicts of interest could arise as a result of these overlapping positions.  

While Mr. Pereira’s employment agreement provides that he shall spend no less than 60% of his time working for Technest, there can be no assurance competing demands on Mr. Pereira at a given time will not result in an allocation of time and resources unfavorable to us. Neither our organizational documents nor our policies specify a minimum standard of time and attention that our officers and directors are required to devote to us, and there can be no assurance that conflicts of interest will not arise.

-32-


In light of Markland’s significant holdings of our common stock and the potential for conflict given Mr. Pereira’s current positions with Markland and Technest, in an effort to avoid even the mere appearance of a conflict, the board of directors of Technest on September 22, 2006 formed a special committee comprised of the three independent directors, Robert Doto, Gen. David Gust (US Army Rtd.) and Darlene Deptula-Hicks, to address issues arising from or related to, directly or indirectly, the ownership of our common stock by Markland and its assignees and to take any action the special committee deems appropriate.

Risks Related To Capital Structure
 
Shares eligible for future sale, if sold into the public market, may adversely affect the market price of our common stock. 
 
Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreements executed on February 14, 2005 in connection with our acquisition of Genex, Technest was obligated to file one or more registration statements with the Securities and Exchange Commission covering shares that are being registered pursuant to a registration statement that was filed with the SEC. In addition, we are obligated to registered shares held by Markland or any of its transferees. Our common stock is thinly traded. The registration of these shares for public resale may result in a greater number of shares being available for trading than the market can absorb. This may cause the market price of our common stock to decrease.   
 
The sale of material amounts of common stock could encourage short sales by third parties and further depress the price of our common stock.  As a result, you may lose all or part of your investment.
 
The significant downward pressure on our stock price caused by the sale of a significant number of registered shares could cause our stock price to decline, thus allowing short sellers of our stock an opportunity to take advantage of any decrease in the value of our stock. The presence of short sellers in our common stock may further depress the price of our common stock.
 
Technest does not foresee paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future.
 
Technest has not paid cash dividends on our stock and does not plan to pay cash dividends on our stock in the foreseeable future.
 
Risks Related To Investing In Low- Priced Stock
 
It may be difficult for you to resell shares of our common stock if an active market for our common stock does not develop.
 
Our common stock is not actively traded on a securities exchange and we do not meet the initial listing criteria for any registered securities exchange or the Nasdaq National Market System. It is quoted on the less recognized OTC Bulletin Board. This factor may further impair your ability to sell your shares when you want and/or could depress our stock price. As a result, you may find it difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations of the price of, our securities because smaller quantities of shares could be bought and sold, transactions could be delayed and security analyst and news coverage of our company may be limited. These factors could result in lower prices and larger spreads in the bid and ask prices for our shares.
 
Technest’s common stock is “penny stock,” with the result that trading of our common stock in any secondary market may be impeded.
 
Due to the current price of our common stock, many brokerage firms may not be willing to effect transactions in our securities, particularly because low-priced securities are subject to SEC rules imposing additional sales requirements on broker-dealers who sell low-priced securities (generally defined as those having a per share price below $5.00). These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for our stock as it is subject to these penny stock rules. Therefore, stockholders may have difficulty selling those securities.  These factors severely limit the liquidity, if any, of our common stock, and will likely continue to have a material adverse effect on its market price and on our ability to raise additional capital.
 
The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC, that:

-33-



(a)
contains a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading;
 
(b)
contains a description of the broker’s or dealer’s duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer with respect to a violation to such duties or other requirements of securities laws;
 
(c)
contains a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including bid and ask prices for penny stocks and the significance of the spread between the bid and ask price;
 
(d)
 
contains a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions;
 
(e)
defines significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading in penny stocks; and
 
(f)
contains such other information and is in such form, including language, type, size and format, as the SEC may require by rule or regulation.

In addition, the broker-dealer also must provide, prior to effecting any transaction in a penny stock, the customer with:
 
(a)
bid and ask quotations for the penny stock;

(b)
the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction;

(c)
the number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the market for such stock; and

(d)
monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account.

Also, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement to transactions involving penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement.
 
We cannot predict the extent to which investor interest in our stock or a business combination, if any, will lead to an increase in our market price or the development of an active trading market or how liquid that market, if any, might become.
 
The market price of our common stock may be volatile. As a result, you may not be able to sell our common stock in short time periods, or possibly at all.
 
Our stock price has been volatile. From January 2003 to October 9, 2006, the trading price of our common stock ranged from a low price of $0.02 per share to a high price of $63.29 per share. Many factors may cause the market price of our common stock to fluctuate, including:
 
 
·
variations in our quarterly results of operations;
 
 
·
the introduction of new products by us or our competitors;
 
 
·
acquisitions or strategic alliances involving us or our competitors;
 
 
·
future sales of shares of common stock in the public market; and
 
 
·
market conditions in our industries and the economy as a whole.
 

-34-


In addition, the stock market has recently experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations. These fluctuations are often unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of our common stock. When the market price of a company's stock drops significantly, stockholders often institute securities class action litigation against that company. Any litigation against us could cause us to incur substantial costs, divert the time and attention of our management and other resources or otherwise harm our business.
 
Risks Related to the Homeland Security and Defense Industries
 
The homeland security and defense industries are characterized by rapid technological change and evolving industry standards, and unless we keep pace with the changing technologies, we could lose customers and fail to win new customers.
 
Our future success will depend, in part, upon our ability to develop and introduce a variety of new products and services and enhancements to these new product and services in order to address the changing and sophisticated needs of the homeland security marketplace. Delays in introducing new products, services and enhancements, the failure to choose correctly among technical alternatives or the failure to offer innovative products and services at competitive prices may cause customers to forego purchases of our products and services and purchase those of our competitors. Frequently, technical development programs in the homeland security industry require assessments to be made of the future directions of technology and technology markets generally, which are inherently risky and difficult to predict.
 
We face intense competition, which could result in lower revenues and higher research and development expenditures and could adversely affect our results of operations.
 
Current political tensions throughout the world have heightened interest in the homeland security industry, and we expect competition in this field, which is already substantial, to intensify. If we do not develop new and enhanced products, or if we are not able to invest adequately in our research and development activities, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be negatively impacted. Many of our competitors have significantly more cash and resources than we have. Our competitors may introduce products that are competitively priced, have increased performance or functionality, or incorporate technological advances that we have not yet developed or implemented. To remain competitive, we must continue to develop, market and sell new and enhanced systems and products at competitive prices, which will require significant research and development expenditures.
 
We cannot assure you that we will be able to compete successfully against current and future competitors.
 
Risks Relating to New Corporate Governance Standards
 
We expect our administrative costs and expenses resulting from new regulations to increase, adversely affecting our financial condition and results of operations.
 
We face new corporate governance requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the NASDAQ Capital Market requirements and SEC rules adopted thereunder. These regulations when we become subject to them will increase our legal and financial compliance and make some activities more difficult, time-consuming and costly. 

New corporate governance requirements have made it more difficult to attract qualified directors. As a result, our business may be harmed and the price of our stock may be adversely affected.
 
New corporate governance requirements have increased the role and responsibilities of directors and executive officers of public companies. These new requirements have made it more expensive for us to maintain director and officer liability insurance. We may be required to accept reduced coverage or incur significantly higher costs to maintain coverage. As a result, although we recently elected three directors that satisfy the “independence” standards of NASDAQ, it may be more difficult for us to attract and retain other qualified individuals to serve as members of our board of directors.
 

-35-


If we fail to maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting, the price of our common stock may be adversely affected.
 
We are required to establish and maintain appropriate internal controls over financial reporting. Our internal controls over financial reporting may have weaknesses and conditions that need to be addressed, the disclosure of which may have an adverse impact on the price of our common stock.
 
Failure to establish those controls, or any failure of those controls once established, could adversely impact our public disclosures regarding our business, financial condition or results of operations. In addition, management's assessment of internal controls over financial reporting may identify weaknesses and conditions that need to be addressed in our internal controls over financial reporting or other matters that may raise concerns for investors. Any actual or perceived weaknesses and conditions that need to be addressed, disclosure of management's assessment of our internal controls over financial reporting or disclosure of our independent registered public accounting firm's attestation to or report on management's assessment of our internal controls over financial reporting may have an adverse impact on the price of our common stock.
 
Standards for compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 are uncertain, and if we fail to comply in a timely manner, our business could be harmed and our stock price could decline.
 
Rules adopted by the SEC pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 require annual assessment of our internal control over financial reporting, and attestation of this assessment by our independent registered public accountant. We expect that these requirements will first apply to our annual report for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2009, respectively. The standards that must be met for management to assess the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting are new and complex, and require significant documentation, testing and possible remediation to meet the detailed standards. We may encounter problems or delays in completing activities necessary to make an assessment of its internal control over financial reporting. In addition, we may encounter problems or delays in completing the implementation of any requested improvements and receiving an attestation of its assessment by our independent registered public accountants. If management cannot assess our internal control over financial reporting as effective, or our independent registered public accounting firm is unable to issue an unqualified attestation report on such assessment, investor confidence and share value may be negatively impacted.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors
Technest Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Boston, Massachusetts


We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Technest Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2006, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity (deficit) and cash flows for the year ended June 30, 2006 and six months ended June 30, 2005. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these 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 audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. 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 financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects the financial position of Technest Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2006, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended June 30, 2006 and six months ended June 30, 2005, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

As described in Note 3 to the financial statements, the financial statements as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2005 have been retroactively restated to reflect certain warrants as derivative liabilities and to reflect the acquisition of an entity under common control as of the date the Company became a member of the controlled group.

TECHNEST HOLDINGS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2006 AND THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2005 (RESTATED)
 

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Business and Basis of Presentation

Technest Holdings, Inc. (“Technest” or “the Company”) had no operations between October 10, 2003 and February 14, 2005.

On February 14, 2005, Technest became a majority-owned subsidiary of Markland Technologies, Inc. (“Markland”), a homeland defense, armed services and intelligence contractor. Markland is a public company with a class of equity securities registered pursuant to Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act. Technest issued to Markland 1,954,023 shares of its common stock, representing a 93% ownership interest in Technest’s common stock, in exchange for 10,168,764 shares of Markland common stock valued at $6,101,258 which were used as partial consideration for the concurrent acquisition of Genex Technologies, Inc. (“Genex”) (see Note 3).

Effective June 29, 2004, Markland acquired 100% of the outstanding common stock of E-OIR Technologies, Inc. (“EOIR”), a company incorporated under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, in conjunction with a Stock Purchase Agreement dated June 29, 2004 ("the Acquisition"). Markland agreed to pay the stockholders of EOIR $19,000,000, consisting of $8,000,000 in cash and promissory notes of $11,000,000. Additionally, Markland issued certain members of EOIR's management team options to purchase approximately $4,000,000 of Markland common stock. As a result of this transaction, EOIR became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Markland effective June 29, 2004.

On August 17, 2005, pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement with Markland, Technest purchased all of the outstanding stock of EOIR. As consideration for this purchase, Technest issued 12 million shares of its common stock to Markland. As a result of this transaction, EOIR became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Technest effective August 17, 2005. Since this was a transaction between entities under common control, in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141, “Business Combinations”, Appendix D, Technest recognized the net assets of EOIR at their carrying amounts in the accounts of Markland on the date Technest came into Markland’s control group, February 14, 2005 and restated the financial statements to include the activity of EOIR from that date forward (see Note 3).

In connection with the Genex acquisition, the accounts of Technest have been adjusted using the push down basis of accounting to recognize the allocation of the consideration paid to the respective net assets acquired (see Note 3).

We operate in five principal technical areas: Advanced Sensor Systems, Imaging and Intelligence Solutions, Operational Management, Intelligent Surveillance, and Chemical and Explosive Detection.

Advanced Sensor Systems

Advanced Sensor Systems is engaged in design, research and development, systems integration, sustainment, support, and upgrade of advanced sensor systems for the U.S. military; this includes high performance targeting and surveillance sensors, driving enhancements, rifle sights, fusion and automatic target recognition, mine and minefield detection, mine neutralization, minefield breaching, sensor system performance modeling and analysis, virtual prototyping, simulation-based analyses, high-performance multi-color Focal Plane Array (FPA), multi-function lasers, distributed sensor networks, Long Wavelength Infrared (LWIR) and Short Wavelength Infrared (SWIR) arrays, unattended ground sensors, and rapid prototyping.

The majority of the work performed by Advanced Sensor Systems is carried out through an Omnibus Contract with the United States Army Night Vision and Electronic Sensors Directorate. We retain non exclusive rights to sell the technologies that we develop under this contract. Our main products, developed or nearing development, include Interchangeable Wide Area Search Surveillance System (IWAS3), Safety Evaluation Range Training System (SERTSTM), Universal Sensor Remoting Device (USRD), Pelco Camera Translators, WinProcTM, IProcTM, GPS GroundTruther, TTAASPTM, and EOIRTATM.

F-12


Imaging and Intelligence Solutions

Imaging and Intelligence Solutions is engaged in the design, research and development, integration, analysis, modeling, and training of classified solutions in support of the United States’ intelligence community and homeland security.

We provide support to the NGA College, including program management support, curriculum development and instruction in Geospatial and Imaging Analysis, Advanced Geospatial Intelligence, and Measurements and Signal Intelligence. We develop core curriculum: platform, web- and computer-based training; and maintain the Soft Copy Keys Program. We develop specialized tools and algorithms for atmospheric computation and full-spectrum signal processing, promote imaging standards, evaluate new technology, assist users with Advanced Geospatial Intelligence technologies, and maintain spectral libraries used throughout the Intelligence Community. For the National Ground Intelligence Center, we provide systems modeling, intelligence analysis for military operations and disaster relief, and we develop and integrate remote triggering devices and monitoring stations used in field testing and air-and ground-based sensor analysis. We support maritime advanced geospatial imagery exploitation and counter drug operations, as well as all-source analysis for Army operational forces.

The Advanced Technologies Research and Development group of Genex is focused on developing our imaging technology portfolio via advanced research in 3D facial recognition, intelligent surveillance 3D imaging, and medical imaging. By integrating our marketing pursuits with our R&D efforts, we expect to bring to market technological advances that have enhanced customer value. Some of our targeted research areas include: (i) fully integrated Surematch™ suite of 3D facial recognition software application programs; (ii) intelligent surveillance using two- and three-dimensional image processing to support homeland security, military, and commercial applications; (iii) detection of concealment of intent using thermal and 3D imaging to support anti-terrorist efforts; (iv) early detection of cancer using non-invasive and non-radiological diffuse optical tomography; and (v) more effective and less risky radiation treatment for cancer by use of 3D imaging for patient positioning.

Operational Management

Operational Management is engaged in the program management, integration, training, logistics, analysis, and field support of numerous projects for the U.S. military.

We provide program management support for the Marine Corps Systems Command (MCSC), which includes providing logistical support of current projects and integration with legacy systems. We also are assisting in the development of the Electro-Optical Test Facility (EOTF) for the Program Manager Optics and Non-Lethal Systems (PM ONLS). This encompasses the full life-cycle of the test facility; as we will design the facility, oversee the procurement of equipment, develop standard operating procedures, and manage the thermal testing portion of the lab. We provide systems integration, board design, training, and field support for products, such as DoubleShot, which is currently actively deployed in Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) in support of the Marine Corps Warfighting Lab (MCWL). In addition, we represent the Marine Corps in the joint development of Joint Chemical Agent Detector (JCAD), Joint Service Light Standoff Chemical Agent Detector (JSLSCAD), Joint Service Light Nuclear, Biological, Chemical, Reconnaissance System (JSLNBCRS), as well as other engineering technology in support of the MCSC Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear Defense (CBRND) team. This support consists of testing emerging technology, providing logistical support and management of legacy systems. We also provide systems integration support for the Directed Energy Technology Office (DETO) at Naval Surface Warface Center Dahlgren Division (NSWCDD) integrating various sensors, such as Driver Viewer Enhancer and Blue Force Tracker, into a prototype directed energy system in support of OIF.

Intelligent Surveillance

Intelligent Surveillance is engaged in the design, research and development, integration, analysis, modeling, system networking, and support of advanced surveillance and three-dimensional imaging devices and systems.

Reorganization and Restatements
 
On August 17, 2005, pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement with Markland Technologies, Inc., Technest’s majority stockholder, Technest purchased all of the outstanding stock of E-OIR Technologies, Inc., (“EOIR”), formerly one of Markland’s wholly-owned subsidiaries. As consideration for the stock of EOIR, Technest issued 12 million shares of its common stock to Markland. Markland’s ownership of Technest increased, at the time of the transaction, from 85% to approximately 98% on a primary basis and from 39% to approximately 82% on a fully diluted basis (assuming the conversion of all convertible securities and the exercise of all warrants to purchase Technest common stock). Accordingly, this reorganization did not result in a change of control of EOIR and Technest did not need stockholder consent in order to complete this reorganization.  Since this is a transaction between entities under common control, in accordance with SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations”, Appendix D, the Company recorded the net assets of EOIR at their carrying value on the date Technest came into Markland’s control group, February 14, 2005 and the Company has restated its financial statements to include EOIR from this date (see Note 3). Markland acquired EOIR on June 29, 2004.  

Technest also corrected its accounting for derivative financial instruments to conform to the requirements of Statements of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, as amended, and Emerging Issues Task Force No. ("EITF") 00-19 (See Notes 2 and 5). For certain warrants issued by Technest in February 2005, Technest could not conclude that the warrants were able to be settled in unregistered shares of common stock due to liquidated damage provisions in registration rights agreements. Therefore the warrants did not meet the requirements for classification as equity instruments. Instead, the warrants were recorded as liabilities and carried at fair value. Fair value adjustments to these derivative liabilities are charged (credited) to the statement of operations.

The impact of the restatement on the financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2005 to include EOIR from February 14, 2005 and to correct the accounting for the warrants is as follows:

The net loss applicable to common stockholders per common share increased from ($3.02) to ($3.42) as a result of the acquisition of EOIR, the correction of the accounting for the warrants and the resulting restatement described above. Although the net loss applicable to common stockholders increased from ($4,903,487) to ($36,616,135), the additional 12,000,000 shares of common stock issued in the acquisition of EOIR increased the weighted average number of common shares outstanding from 1,624,918 to 10,691,584. The impact of the increased weighted average common shares outstanding significantly offset the additional net loss resulting in a small net increase in net loss applicable to common stockholders per common share.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Technest and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Genex Technologies, Inc. and E-OIR Technologies, Inc. Genex was acquired on February 14, 2005. On August 17, 2005, Technest purchased all of the outstanding stock of EOIR, formerly one of Markland’s wholly-owned subsidiaries. As the transfer of EOIR was a transaction between entities under common control, the Company has restated its financial statements as though the transfer of EOIR occurred on the date Technest became part of Markland’s control group, February 14, 2005. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The purchase method of accounting was used by Technest to record the assets acquired and liabilities assumed of Genex Technologies, Inc. on February 14, 2005. Accordingly, the accompanying financial statements of Technest Holdings, Inc. as of and for periods ended subsequent to the acquisition are not comparable in all material respects to the financial statements of Technest as of and for periods ended prior to the acquisition.
 
Fiscal Year-end

On June 30, 2005, the Board of Directors of Technest unanimously voted to change the fiscal year-end from December 31 to June 30.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates that are particularly susceptible to change are the revenue recognized under the percentage completion method on firm fixed price contracts, allowance for doubtful accounts, the estimated useful lives of property and equipment, carrying value of goodwill, useful lives of intangible assets, the amount due to contracting government agencies as a result of their audits, the fair value allocation of consideration paid to the net assets of businesses acquired, the realizability of deferred tax assets and the fair value of derivative liability and equity instruments issued.

Concentrations and Risks

Technest has cash balances in banks in excess of the maximum amount insured by the FDIC as of June 30, 2006.

A significant portion of revenue is generated from contracts with Federal government agencies, including one contract with the U.S. Army expiring July 2007 which represented approximately $70,310,000 of revenue in the year ended June 30, 2006. Consequently, a significant portion of accounts receivable are due from Federal government agencies either directly or through other government contractors.
 
Technest is subject to risks common to companies in the Homeland Defense Technology industry, including, but not limited to, development by its competitors of new technological innovations, dependence on key personnel, protection of proprietary technology and loss of significant customers.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of ninety days or less to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents consist of money market funds as of June 30, 2006.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable represent the amounts invoiced by the Company under contracts. An allowance for doubtful accounts is determined based on management's best estimate of probable losses inherent in the accounts receivable balance. Management assesses the allowance based on known trouble accounts, historical experience and other currently available evidence.
 
F-15

 
A significant portion of the Company's receivables are due from government contracts, either directly or as a subcontractor. The Company has not experienced any material losses in accounts receivable related to these contracts and has provided no allowance at June 30, 2006. If management determines amounts to be uncollectible, they will be charged to operations when that determination is made.
 
Inventory and Work in Process
 
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market.  Cost is determined by the first-in, first-out method and market represents the lower of replacement costs or estimated net realizable value. Work in process represents allowable costs incurred but not billed related to contracts.
 
Property and Equipment
 
Property and equipment are valued at cost and are being depreciated over their useful lives using the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes. Routine maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Expenditures which materially increase the value or extend useful lives are capitalized.
 
Property and equipment are depreciated over the estimated useful lives of assets as follows:
 
Software
 
 
3 years
Computer equipment
 
 
3 years
Furniture and fixtures
 
 
5-7 years
Leasehold improvements
   
Shorter of useful life or lease term
Vehicles
   
5 years
 
Property and equipment consisted of the following at June 30, 2006:
 
Software
 
$
169,077
 
Computer equipment
   
665,111
 
Furniture and fixtures
   
345,275
 
Leasehold improvements
   
222,338
 
Vehicles
   
33,670
 
 
   
1,435,471
 
Less accumulated depreciation
   
(663,187
)
 
 
$
772,284
 

 
Depreciation expense for the year ended June 30, 2006 and the six months ended June 30, 2005 was $385,032 and $120,524, respectively.
 
Definite-lived Intangible Assets
 
Included in definite-lived intangible assets are the amounts assigned to customer relationships and contracts and patents acquired in connection with business combinations (see Note 3). Also included are certain costs of outside legal counsel related to obtaining new patents.  
 
Patent costs are amortized over the legal life of the patents, generally fifteen years, starting on the patent issue date.  The costs of unsuccessful and abandoned patent applications are expensed when abandoned.  The cost to maintain existing patents are expensed as incurred.  The nature of the technology underlying these patents relates to 3-D imaging, intelligent surveillance and 3-D facial recognition technologies. 

F-16


With the acquisition of Genex, Technest acquired Commercialized Technology (patents) relating to 3D facial recognition cameras and Contracts and Customer Relationships from the application of 3D imaging technologies to breast cancer research for the National Institute of Health and disposable sensors and 3D face mapping for the Department of Defense. The amounts assigned to definite-lived intangible assets were determined by management based on a number of factors including an independent purchase price allocation analysis. These assets have an estimated useful life of five years.
 
With the acquisition of EOIR, Technest acquired Contracts and Customer Relationships (see Note 3) related to sensor and chemical detection technologies with estimated useful lives of nine and ten years, respectively. The amounts assigned to definite-lived intangible assets were determined by management considering various factors including independent appraisals done by valuation and financial advisory firms in accordance with SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations”, SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”, Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Concepts Statement Number 7 and Emerging Issued Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 02-17, “Recognition of Customer Relationship Assets Acquired in a Business Combination”. These assets are being amortized over the contractual terms of the existing contracts plus anticipated contract renewals in accordance with EITF Issue No. 02-17.
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
The financial statements include various estimated fair value information at June 30, 2006, as required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments." Financial instruments are initially recorded at historical cost. If subsequent circumstances indicate that a decline in the fair value of a financial asset is other than temporary, the financial asset is written down to its fair value.
 
Unless otherwise indicated, the fair values of financial instruments approximate their carrying amounts. By their nature, all financial instruments involve risk, including credit risk for non-performance by counterparties. The maximum potential loss may exceed any amounts recognized in the consolidated balance sheets.
 
The fair value of cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their recorded amounts because of their relative market and settlement terms. The fair value of the notes payable issued to the former owners of EOIR (see Note 6) have been recorded at their fair value, as determined and valued by management considering various factors including an independent appraisal done by a valuation and financial advisory firm, which is less than the face value due to a below market interest rate.
 
Operating Segments
 
The Company operates in two Operating Segments as defined in paragraph 10 of SFAS No. 131, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information”. These are (1) the business of EOIR which primarily consists of products and services in the remote sensing technology and (2) the business of Genex which primarily consists of research and development, design and fabrication of 3D imaging and of intelligent surveillance products. Further, since both these operating segments have similar economic characteristics, as well as similar products and services, production processes, customers, distribution methods and regulatory environment, the Company concluded that they meet the aggregation criteria outlined in paragraph 17 of SFAS No. 131. Therefore, the Company aggregates the two operating segments into a single reportable segment in accordance with paragraph 16 of SFAS No. 131.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
Revenues from products are recognized when the following criteria are met: (1) there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, such as contracts, purchase orders or written requests; (2) delivery has been completed and no significant obligations remain; (3) price to the customer is fixed or determinable; and (4) collection is probable.
 
Revenues from time and materials contracts are recognized as costs are incurred and billed. Allowable costs incurred but not billed as of a period end are recorded as work in process.
 
Revenues from firm fixed price contracts are recognized on the percentage-of-completion method, either measured based on the proportion of costs recorded to date on the contract to total estimated contract costs or measured based on the proportion of labor hours expended to date on the contract to total estimated contract labor hours, as specified in the contract.
 
F-17


Provisions for estimated losses on all contracts are made in the period in which such losses become known. Changes in job performance, job conditions, and estimated profitability, including those arising from contract penalty provisions, and final contract settlements may result in revisions to costs and income and are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined.
 
The Company participates in teaming agreements where it is the primary contractor and it also participates with other organizations to provide complex integrated remote sensor product and technology development services to the Federal government. EITF Issue No. 99-19, “Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an Agent” discusses the factors or indicators which should be considered in evaluating whether a company should recognize revenue based on (a) the gross amount billed to a customer because it has earned revenue from the sale of the goods or services or (b) the net amount retained (that is, the amount billed to the customer less the amount paid to a supplier) because it has earned a commission or fee. The Task Force reached a consensus that this is a matter of judgment that depends on the relevant facts and circumstances. The Company considered that it is the primary obligator in these arrangements and has managerial and oversight responsibility for all team members as well as the responsibility for the ultimate acceptability of all integrated technical performance criteria under the contracts for deliverable services and products. The Company also considered that, as the prime contractor it accepts risks for these customer funded tasks. The Company also considered that in many cases part of the services ordered by the customer are performed by the Company itself. Further in some cases the Company has discretion in supplier selection and also a reasonable latitude to establish the price with the customer for the service. The Company believes that based on the aforesaid considerations it meets with the criteria for Gross Revenue Reporting as discussed in EITF Issue No. 99-19. The Company therefore includes as revenues the amounts that they bill under these teaming arrangements and include as direct costs amounts that are reimbursable or paid to team members.
 
Revenues from teaming agreements for the year ended June 30, 2006 and the six months ended June 30, 2005 were $4.4 million and $1.7 million respectively.
 
Shipping Costs

Delivery and shipping costs are included in contract revenue and direct costs in the accompanying statements of operations.
 
Research and Development
 
The Company charges unfunded research and development costs to expense as incurred. Funded research and development is part of the Company’s revenue base and the associated costs are included in cost of revenues. The Company capitalizes costs related to acquired technologies that have achieved technological feasibility and have alternative uses. Acquired technologies which do not meet these criteria are expensed as in-process research and development costs. For the period ended June 30, 2005, the Company expensed $2,095,000 of acquired in-process research and development related to the acquisition of Genex (see Note 3).
 
Income Taxes
 
In accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” the Company allocates current and deferred taxes as if it were a separate tax payer.

Since its acquisition by Markland, the Company files consolidated income tax returns with Markland and, for financial statement purposes, computes its provision or benefit for income taxes based on the income and expenses reported in the Company’s statements of operations. The allocation is not subject to a tax sharing arrangement with Markland and it is based on the tax effect of the Company’s operations as if it had not been included in a consolidated return, based on the preacquisition book and tax basis of the Company’s assets and liabilities. Therefore, the impact of applying push down accounting (see Note 3) to the Company is not considered in determining the Company’s provision for income taxes. Amounts included in the Company’s statement of operations related to the impact of push down accounting, including the amortization of definite-lived intangible assets and stock-based compensation, have been considered permanent differences for purposes of the intercompany tax allocation.
 
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which these temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. A deferred tax asset is recorded for net operating loss and tax credit carry forwards to the extent that their realization is more likely than not. The deferred tax benefit or expense for the period represents the change in the deferred tax asset or liability from the beginning to the end of the period.

F-18


Income (Loss) Per Share
 
Basic and diluted net income (loss) per common share has been computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the periods presented. Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by weighted-average common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted net income(loss) per share is computed by dividing net income(loss) by the weighted-average number of common and dilutive option and warrant shares outstanding based on the average market price of Technest’s common stock (under the treasury stock method).
 
The following table sets forth the computation of the weighted-average number of shares used in calculating basic and diluted net income (loss) per share in the year ended June 30, 2006:

 
 
  2006
 
Weighted-average shares outstanding for basic net income per share
   
15,228,294
 
    Series A Convertible Preferred Stock
   
306,047
 
    Series C Convertible Preferred Stock
   
632,178
 
    Warrants to purchase common stock
   
99,968
 
Total shares for diluted net income per share
   
16,266,487
 
 
Common stock equivalents, consisting of, Series A and C Convertible Preferred Stock, options and warrants were not included in the calculation of the diluted loss per share for the six months ended June 30, 2005 because their inclusion would have had the effect of decreasing the loss per share otherwise computed. As described in Note 9, common stock equivalents totaling 2,624,016 shares have been excluded from the calculation of net loss per share because they were antidilutive.
 
Net income (loss) per share for the period ended June 30, 2005 has been retroactively restated to reflect a 1 for 211.18 reverse stock split effective at the close of business on July 19, 2005.
 
Impairment of Intangible Assets
 
The Company records as goodwill the excess of purchase price over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired. Goodwill is identified and recorded at the reporting unit level as required by paragraphs 30-31 of SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets". SFAS No. 142 prescribes a two-step process for impairment testing, at the reporting unit level, of goodwill, which is performed annually, as well as when an event triggering impairment may have occurred. The first step tests for impairment, while the second step, if necessary, measures the impairment. The Company has determined that its reporting units are its operating segments since this is the lowest level at which discrete financial information is available and regularly reviewed by management. The Company has elected to perform its annual analysis during the fourth quarter of each fiscal year. No indicators of impairment were identified in year ended June 30, 2006 and the six months ended June 30, 2005.
 
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
 
Pursuant to SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets", Technest continually monitors events and changes in circumstances that could indicate carrying amounts of long-lived assets may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized when expected cash flows are less than the asset's carrying value. Accordingly, when indicators of impairment are present, Technest evaluates the carrying value of such assets in relation to the operating performance and future undiscounted cash flows of the underlying assets. Technest’s policy is to record an impairment loss when it is determined that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. No impairment charges were recorded in year ended June 30, 2006 and the six months ended June 30, 2005.
 
Derivative Instruments

Technest generally does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash-flow or market risks. However, certain warrants to purchase common stock that are indexed to the Company's common stock are classified as liabilities when the Company is not permitted to settle the instruments in unregistered shares. In such instances, net-cash settlement is assumed for financial reporting purposes, even when the terms of the underlying contracts do not provide for net-cash settlement. Such financial instruments are initially recorded at relative fair value with subsequent changes in fair value charged (credited) to operations in each reporting period. If the Company subsequently achieves the ability to settle the instruments in unregistered shares, the instruments are reclassified to equity at their fair value.

F-19


Stock-Based Compensation
 
As permitted under SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure", which amended SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", Technest has elected to continue to follow the intrinsic value method in accounting for its stock-based employee compensation arrangements as defined by Accounting Principles Board Opinion ("APB") No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees", and related interpretations including Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Interpretation No. 44, "Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation", an interpretation of APB No. 25. Had the Company followed the fair value method in accounting for its stock-based employee compensation it would have had the following effect on the net income (loss) for the year ended June 30, 2006 and the six months ended June 30, 2005.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123(R) (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment, which is a revision of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. SFAS No. 123(R) supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and Amends SFAS No. 95, Statement of Cash Flows. Generally, the approach in SFAS No. 123(R) is similar to the approach described in SFAS No. 123. However, SFAS No. 123(R) requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. Pro forma disclosure is not an alternative. SFAS No. 123(R) must be adopted no later than the first interim period for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. Technest expects to adopt SFAS No. 123(R) on July 1, 2006.
 
SFAS No. 123(R) permits public companies to adopt its requirements using one of two methods: a “modified prospective” approach or a “modified retrospective” approach. Under the modified prospective approach, compensation cost is recognized beginning with the effective date based on the requirements of SFAS 123(R) for all share-based payments granted after the effective date and the requirements of SFAS No. 123(R) for all awards granted to employees prior to the effective date of SFAS No. 123(R) that remain unvested on the effective date. The modified retrospective approach includes the requirements of the modified prospective approach but also permits entities to restate based on the amounts previously recognized under SFAS No. 123 for purposes of pro forma disclosures either for all prior periods presented or prior interim periods of the year of adoption. The Company is evaluating which method to adopt.
 
As permitted by SFAS No. 123, the Company currently accounts for the share-based payments made by Markland to its employees using APB Opinion No. 25’s intrinsic value method and, as such, generally recognizes no compensation cost for employee stock options. However, grants of Markland stock to employees have always been recorded at fair value as required under existing accounting standards. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) to have a material effect on its results of operations. However, the Company’s results of operations could be materially affected by share-based payments issued after the adoption of SFAS 123(R). The impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) cannot be predicted at this time because it will depend on levels of share-based payments granted by Markland or Technest to the Company’s employees in the future.
 
SFAS No. 123(R) also requires the benefits of tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation cost to be reported as a financing cash flow, rather than an operating cash flow under current accounting literature. Since the Company does not currently receive the benefit of tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation cost, because of its net operating loss position, the change will have no immediate impact on our consolidated financial statements.
 
In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154 "Accounting Changes and Error Corrections - A Replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3 ("SFAS 154")". SFAS 154 requires retrospective application to prior periods' financial statements of changes in accounting principle, unless it is impracticable to determine either the period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of the change. SFAS 154 does not change the guidance for reporting the correction of an error in previously issued financial statements or a change in accounting estimate. The provisions of SFAS 154 shall be effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 154 to have a material effect on the consolidated financial position or results of operations.
 
In July 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertain Tax Positions”, an Interpretation of SFAS No. 109 (“FIN 48”), which clarifies the criteria for recognition and measurement of benefits from uncertain tax positions. Under FIN 48, an entity should recognize a tax benefit when it is “more-likely-than-not”, based on the technical merits, that the position would be sustained upon examination by a taxing authority. The amount to be recognized, given the “more likely than not” threshold was passed, should be measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. Furthermore, any change in the recognition, derecognition or measurement of a tax position should be recognized in the interim period in which the change occurs. The Company expects to adopt FIN 48 as of July 1, 2007, and any change in net assets as a result of applying the Interpretation will be recognized as an adjustment to retained earnings on that date. The Company does not expect the adoption of FIN 48 to have a material effect on the consolidated financial position or results of operations.
 
In September 2006, the FASB issue SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measurement" ("SFAS 157"). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 17, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS 157 on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

On February 14, 2005, in conjunction with a Securities Purchase Agreement between Technest and Markland, Technest issued 1,954,023 shares of common stock to Markland Technologies, Inc. in exchange for 10,168,764 shares of Markland’s common stock valued at $6,101,258 (“the Markland Investment”). The common stock issued to Markland represented 93% of Technest’s outstanding common stock. Consequently, Technest became a majority owned subsidiary of Markland on that date. The Securities Purchase Agreement contains provisions that may require Markland to deliver additional shares of its common stock to Technest in conjunction with the acquisition of Genex Technologies, Inc. (see below) and conversion of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (see Note 7).
 
Purchase of Genex Technologies, Inc.
 
The acquisition of Genex was effected pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated February 14, 2005 (the "Merger Agreement"), by and among Markland, Technest, MTECH Acquisition, Inc. ("MTECH") (a wholly-owned subsidiary of Technest), Genex and Jason Geng, the sole stockholder of Genex.
 
In accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, on February 14, 2005, MTECH merged with and into Genex, with Genex surviving the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Technest. As a result of the merger, all of the outstanding shares of the capital stock of Genex were automatically converted into the right to receive in the aggregate: (i) $3 million of cash; (ii) 10,168,764 shares of Markland's common stock (the shares of Markland common stock issued to Technest in the Markland Investment); and (iii) if earned, contingent payments in the form of additional shares of Technest common stock.  Contingent payment of additional shares of Technest common stock was to be paid each of the three years following the merger date based on amounts equal to 30% of Gross Revenue, as defined, in excess of Gross Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2004. The number of shares of Technest common stock to be used was based on the average volume-weighted closing bid price of Technest common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board for the twenty (20) trading days prior to the day before the date of the Agreement.  A brokerage fee in connection with this acquisition of $300,000 was also paid. In addition, Mr. Geng was to receive a twelve month unsecured promissory note in the principal amount of $550,000 bearing interest at the rate of 6% per annum. Mr. Geng's share consideration was to be adjusted to reflect changes in the closing bid price of Markland common stock in the 10 trading days following February 14, 2005, subject to limitations set forth in the Merger Agreement. Following the acquisition, the Company discovered what it believes were material misrepresentations made by Mr. Geng in the Merger Agreement related to the status of regulatory audits, the impact of certain internal control deficiencies and the non-disclosure of ongoing government investigations into certain conduct by Mr. Geng and Genex prior to Technest's acquisition, among others. As a result of damages arising in connection with these breaches, the Company has refused to issue the promissory note, the additional Markland share consideration, the contingent payments of Technest common stock or the additional cash payments of profits from the commercialization of Intraoral Technologies. In addition, Mr. Geng’s employment with Genex was terminated and the Company has ceased paying his salary under the employment agreement. To date, Mr. Geng has not contested Technest’s position, has not sought payment and Technest believes that the possibility that it will have to issue additional shares or other consideration is remote. In consideration of the unresolved contingencies and in accordance with SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations”, paragraphs 25-27, Technest has excluded from its purchase accounting the promissory note, the contingent additional Markland share consideration, the contingent payments of Technest common stock or the contingent additional cash payments.

As a result of the transaction being structured as a stock acquisition, Technest does not expect any goodwill or other identifiable intangible assets resulting from the transaction to be deductible for income tax reporting purposes. Consequently, no deferred tax assets were recorded in connection with the merger.
 
In connection with the Genex acquisition, Technest also raised gross proceeds of $5,000,000 through a private placement of units consisting of 1,149,425 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, 1,149,425 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock and warrants to purchase 1,149,425 shares of Technest’s Common Stock (see Note 7).

The appraisal method used in valuing in-process research and development (“IPR&D”) was Discounted Economic Income Computation Discount Rate.

The discount rate of 24 percent was developed from the Weighted Average Cost of Capital using the following assumptions:
 
WACC Equation
         
 
WACC
=
SE(Kse)+ D(Kd)(1-t)
 
         
Where:

Timing Of Cash Flows
 
Management provided a valuation firm a list of 25 projects in-house at the valuation date of which 11 were classified as IPRD. For each of the 25 projects, management provided a timeline for revenue generation for fiscal years 2006 to 2010. Management also provided company-wide financial projections for fiscal years 2006 to 2010. Using management’s projected timeline for revenue generation, appropriate expenses were allocated to the IPRD projects by the valuation firm.

Because the nature of many of these IPR&D projects are classified by the Department of Defense, the Company reports on these projects collectively as a mass asset.
 
Acquisition of EOIR and Restatement
 
On August 17, 2005, pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement with Markland Technologies, Inc., Technest’s majority stockholder, Technest purchased all of the outstanding stock of E-OIR Technologies, Inc., (“EOIR”), formerly one of Markland’s wholly-owned subsidiaries. As consideration for the stock of EOIR, Technest issued 12 million shares of its common stock to Markland. Markland’s ownership of Technest increased, at the time of the transaction, from 85% to approximately 98% on a primary basis and from 39% to approximately 82% on a fully diluted basis (assuming the conversion of all convertible securities and the exercise of all warrants to purchase Technest common stock). Accordingly, this reorganization did not result in a change of control of EOIR and Technest did not need stockholder consent in order to complete this reorganization.  Since this is a transaction between entities under common control, in accordance with SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations”, Appendix D, the Company recorded the net assets of EOIR at their carrying value on the date Technest came into Markland’s control group, February 14, 2005 and the Company has restated its financial statements to include EOIR from this date (see Note 1). Markland acquired EOIR on June 29, 2004.  EOIR generated approximately 97% of Markland’s revenue for its latest fiscal year ended June 30, 2005. In conjunction with Markland’s acquisition of EOIR, Markland granted certain stock-based compensation to the employees of EOIR. As of February 14, 2005, there was unearned compensation related to these Markland issuances of $2,175,542 (see Note 7).

Push-Down Accounting
 
Based on the substantial change in ownership and control of Technest, as well as the fact that the investors in the Technest financing (see Note 7) represent a collaborative group brought together to promote the acquisition of Genex, the push-down basis of accounting has been applied to the acquisition of Technest by Markland. In accordance with the push-down basis of accounting, Technest recorded Genex’s net assets at their estimated fair values as of the date of acquisition which resulted in the basis of the net assets acquired being adjusted as disclosed per the allocation summary shown in the Purchase of Genex Technologies, Inc. above and Technest’s accumulated deficit was reset to zero as of the acquisition date. The purchase price was allocated to the estimated fair value of Genex’s assets and liabilities by management in consideration of a number of factors including an independent purchase price allocation analysis.
 
The excess of the purchase price of Genex over the fair value of net tangible assets acquired is $8,702,148. Of this amount, $4,876,038 was allocated to goodwill, $2,095,000 to in-process research and development and $1,570,000 to amortizable intangible assets (see Note 4) comprised of contracts, customer relationships and commercialized patents.
 
Included in the statement of loss for the six months ended June 30, 2005 is selling, general and administrative expenses of approximately $2,250 related to the period from January 1, 2005 to February 14, 2005 prior to the application of push-down accounting.

Net definite-lived intangible asset
 
$

Patents are amortized over their estimated useful life but not to exceed the legal life of the patent. Customer relationships and contracts are amortized over the contractual term of the existing contracts plus anticipated contract renewals in accordance with EITF 02-17. In determining the estimate useful life of the customer relationships and contracts, the Company considered a number of factors including, its history with these customers which dates back to 1993, the remaining term of existing contracts, the status of outstanding bids submitted for additional contracts or contract extensions, the stage of development of the major tasks covered by existing contracts, the likelihood of receiving additional contracts or contract extensions and the term over which the Company could reasonably predict future revenues from existing customers.
 
Amortization expense was $1,747,347 and $611,471, for the year ended June 30, 2006 and the six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively. Future amortization expense related to the definite-lived intangible asset over the next five years is $1,786,046 per year.
 
5. DERIVATIVE LIABILITY
 
On February 14, 2005, in conjunction with the issuance of Technest’s Series B and C Convertible Preferred Stock, the Company issued warrants to purchase 1,149,425 shares of common stock at $6.50 per share. The shares issuable upon exercise of these warrants are covered by a Registration Rights Agreement which requires the Company to pay certain liquidated damages in the event that the Company does not have an effective registration statement. Due to the significance of the liquidated damages potentially due under the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company must conclude that settling the warrants in unregistered shares was “uneconomic”. Since it is not within the Company’s control to settle the warrants in registered shares, the Company is required to assume that the warrants will be net-cash settled. As a result, under EITF No. 00-19, the warrants did not meet the definition of equity instruments.
 
Upon issuance, the relative fair value of the warrants, net of issuance costs, $1,059,000, was recorded as a derivative liability. The warrants were marked-to-market each period with changes in the fair value being charged (credited) to the statement of operations. As of June 30, 2005, the fair value of the warrants was determined to be $26,963,616.
 
On September 30, 2005, the Company amended the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement such that any liquidated damages would only be payable in common stock. As a result of this amendment, the Company was able to conclude that the settlement of the warrants in unregistered shares was no longer uneconomic. Therefore, on September 30, 2005, the then fair value of the warrants, $1,917,127, was reclassified from derivative liabilities to additional paid-in capital.
 
In the year ended June 30, 2006 and the six months ended June 30, 2005, changes in the fair value of the warrants recorded as derivative (income) loss in the statements of operations was $25,046,489 and ($30,212,400), respectively.

F-26


In the six months ended June 30, 2005, the Company issued 208,910 shares of common stock upon exercise of warrants. The then fair value of the warrants of $4,307,784 was reclassified to par value of common stock and additional paid-in capital upon exercise.
 
The fair value of the warrants was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and the assumptions described in Note 8. The warrants do not include provisions allowing for net-cash settlement, the Company has never net-cash settled any warrants and has settled all warrants to date through the issuance of unregistered shares.
 
6. LONG TERM DEBT
 
Notes Payable
 
On June 29, 2004, EOIR issued notes guaranteed by Markland in the face amount of $11,000,000 in connection with Markland’s acquisition of EOIR’s common stock. These notes accrue interest at 6% compounded monthly and are payable in quarterly installments over 60 months. The fair market value of these notes was $9,532,044 as determined by management based on a number of factors including an independent valuation. The discount of $1,467,956 will be amortized to interest expense over the life of the note. In the year ended June 30, 2006 and the six months ended June 30, 2005, the Company amortized $293,592 and $110,097 to non-cash interest expense respectively. The face value of the notes and the unamortized discount at June 30, 2006 was $6,608,411 and $880,773, respectively. Interest expense related to these notes was approximately $533,205 and $324,000, in the year ended June 30, 2006 and the six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively. Subsequent to June 30, 2006, the Company repaid a significant portion of these notes (see Note 16). As of June 30, 2006, amounts due to employees of EOIR, including Dr. Mackin, the Company’s CEO, total $ 2,019,305.
 
During 2003, the Company issued an 8% convertible demand note in the principal amount of $57,158. In April 2004, the Company issued an 8% demand note in the principal amount of $10,000. On February 8, 2005, these notes and accrued interest of $7,690 were satisfied by the issuance of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (see Note 7). There was no interest expense related to these notes for the year ended June 30, 2006 or six months ended June 30, 2005.
 
Other Long-Term Bank Debt
 
The Company's other long-term bank debt consists of the following as of June 30, 2006:
 
First Market Bank, secured by research equipment, dated October, 2002 with monthly payments of $3,715 including interest at LIBOR plus 2.75% (6.27% at June 30, 2006)

Line of Credit

A $500,000 line of credit was established with Virginia Community Bank in October 1999 that was extended and increased to $600,000. It was secured by current accounts receivable and required interest at the prime lending rate. The line was repaid in full and closed in September 2004. Interest expense on the Line of Credit for the six months ended June 30, 2005 was approximately $3,000.

Refinancing
 
Subsequent to year-end, the Company obtained additional bank financing and repaid a significant portion of the notes payable above (see Note 16). Had the financing been obtained as of June 30, 2006, the pro forma current and non-current portion of long-term debt would have been as follows:
 
Current portion of long-term debt
 
$
2,982,448
 
Non-current portion of long-term debt
   
3,676,848
 
  Total long-term debt

After repaying a portion of the notes payable, the Company received initial net cash proceeds from the additional bank financing of approximately $2,493,000.
 
7. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY (DEFICIT)
 
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock
 
On February 8, 2005, the Company's Board of Directors designated 150 shares of preferred stock as Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series A Preferred Stock”). The Series A Preferred Stock is non-interest bearing, is not entitled to receive dividends and is not redeemable. The Series A Preferred Stock has a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share. The holders of Series A Preferred Stock have no voting rights except that they will be entitled to vote as a separate class on any amendment to the terms or authorized number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, the issuance of any equity security ranking senior to the Series A Preferred Stock and the redemption of or the payment of a dividend in respect of any junior security. At any time, holders of Series A Preferred Stock may elect to convert their Series A Preferred Stock into common stock. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock is currently convertible into 4,735.3 shares of common stock provided that, following such conversion, the total number of shares of common stock then beneficially owned by such holder and its affiliates and any other persons whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with the holder's for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, does not exceed 4.999% of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of common stock. The Series A Preferred Stock ranks pari passu with the Company's Series B and C Preferred Stock.
 
On February 8, 2005, the Company entered into an Exchange Agreement and a Securities Purchase Agreement with Garth LLC pursuant to which we agreed to issue 99.325 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock in exchange for $25,000 in cash and the surrender of certain of our 8% Promissory Notes held by Garth LLC (the "Notes"). Immediately prior to their surrender, the Notes had an aggregate outstanding principal balance plus accrued interest of $74,848. The Company received net cash proceeds of $25,000 from this private placement.
 
On February 8, 2005, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Verdi Consulting, Inc. pursuant to which we sold twenty five (25) shares of our Series A Preferred Stock for the aggregate consideration of $25,000.
 
The proceeds from the issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock were used to reduce accounts payable.
 
Verdi Consulting has certain piggy-back registration rights with respect to the common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock. These piggy-back registration rights expire when the shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to conversion of the Series A Shares can be sold without volume restrictions pursuant to Rule 144(k) of the Act.
 
During the year ended June 30, 2006, 59.694 shares of Series A Preferred Stock were converted into 282,669 shares of the Company’s common stock.

At June 30, 2006, there were 64.631 shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued and outstanding.

F-28


Series B and C Convertible Preferred Stock
 
On February 14, 2005, immediately after the acquisition by Markland of a controlling interest in Technest (see Note 3), an investor group consisting of Southridge Partners LP, Southshore Capital Fund Limited, Verdi Consulting, Inc., ipPartners, Inc., DKR Soundshore Oasis Holding Fund, Ltd., DKR Soundshore Strategic Holding Fund, Ltd. and Deer Creek Fund, LP (collectively, the "Investors") paid $5,000,000 in cash to Technest for 1,149,425 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series B Preferred Stock”), 1,149,425 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series C Preferred Stock), and five-year warrants to purchase up to 1,149,425 shares of Technest’s common stock at an exercise price of $6.48 per share (“the Investor Financing”) after adjusting for a 211.18 for one reverse stock split on July 19, 2005.
 
These securities were sold in units for a price of $4.35 per unit. Each unit consists of one share of Series B Preferred Stock; one share of Series C Preferred Stock and a warrant to purchase up to one share of Technest's common stock. Gross proceeds received from the sale of the units were $5,000,000. >From these proceeds, the Company paid a finder’s fee of $1,200,000 and legal fees related to the financing of $287,578.
 
The Series B Preferred Stock will be convertible into Markland common stock upon the earlier to occur of February 14, 2006 or the trading day immediately following the first period of five trading days during which Markland common stock has a closing bid price of $2.50 or higher on each day, if any. The number of shares to be issuable upon conversion of each share of Series B preferred stock will be equal to approximately 4.35 divided by the lower of $0.60 and the average closing bid price for the 20 trading days preceding such conversion. Shares of the Series B Preferred Stock have a liquidation preference of $2.175 per share, may only vote on changes to the rights, privileges and priority of the Series B Preferred Stock, do not accrue dividends and are not redeemable. The Series B Preferred Stock shall rank pari passu with the Company's Series A and C Preferred Stock.
 
The Series C Preferred Stock is convertible into Technest common stock at any time at the option of the stockholder. The number of shares of Technest common stock into which each share of Series C Preferred Stock is convertible is determined by dividing $2.175 by the Series C Conversion Price. The Series C Conversion Price is $2.175. Shares of the Series C Preferred Stock have a liquidation preference of approximately $2.175 per share, may only vote on changes to the rights, privileges and priority of the Series C Preferred Stock, receive dividends on an as converted basis whenever dividends are made to the Technest common stock holders, and are not redeemable. The Series C Preferred Stock shall rank pari passu with the Company's Series A and B Preferred Stock.
 
Technest and the Investors entered into a Registration Rights Agreement dated February 14, 2005. Pursuant to this agreement, Technest agreed to file a registration statement covering the resale of all of the common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series C preferred stock, (b) all of the common stock issuable upon exercise of the common stock purchase warrants, and (c) common stock which may become issuable to selling stockholders as liquidated damages for breach of covenants contained in or as a result of adjustments contemplated by the securities purchase agreement and the registration rights agreement. Technest agreed to use its best efforts to cause the registration statement to be declared effective as promptly as possible thereafter. On September 30, 2005, the Company amended the terms of this Registration Rights Agreement so that liquidated damages could only be paid for in the Company’s common stock at a rate of 4% of the initial subscription amount for any month (see Note 5).
 
Technest agreed to issue additional shares of its common stock to the Investors if the units did not have a market value of $6.525 at the end of one year. If the units did not have a market value of $6.525 on February 14, 2006, Technest would be obligated to issue in exchange for each unit a number of shares of common stock determined by dividing (i) the amount by which $6.525 exceeds the sum of the average closing bid prices of Markland’s and Technest’s common stock for the period beginning 10 trading days prior to the reset date and ending 10 trading days after the reset date by (ii) the average closing bid price of our common stock during that period. Effective October 25, 2005, there no longer any units outstanding and the Company was not obligated to issue any additional common stock.
 
On June 20, 2005, Markland entered into definitive exchange agreements with DKR Soundshore Oasis Holding Fund, Ltd., DKR Soundshore Strategic Holding Fund, Ltd., Verdi Consulting, Inc. ("Verdi"), and ipPartners, Inc., pursuant to which Markland exchanged 632,182 shares of Technest Series B Preferred Stock for 2,750 shares of Markland Series D Preferred Stock.  Subsequently, the Technest Series B Preferred shares held by Markland were cancelled.
 
In the year ended June 30, 2006, Markland entered into a definitive exchange agreement with the Deer Creek Fund LLC, pursuant to which Markland exchanged 2,250 shares of Markland Series D Preferred Stock for 517,243 shares of Technest Series B Convertible Preferred Stock. Subsequently, the Technest Series B Convertible Preferred shares held by Markland were cancelled.

In the year ended June 30, 2006, 517,240 shares of shares of Technest Series C preferred stock were converted to 517,240 shares of common stock.

On June 30, 2006, the Company had -0- shares of Series B Preferred Stock and 632,185 shares of Series C Preferred Stock issued and outstanding. 

In the year ended June 30, 2006, the Company incurred liquidated damages of $2,329,466 which was charged to interest expense related to the Company's failure to have an effective registration statement. The Company settled $2,104,461 of this obligation through the issuance of 410,888 shares of Technest common stock and there is $195,000 included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities at June 30, 2006.
 
Beneficial Conversion Features
 
Based on the effective conversion price of the Series A Preferred Stock, the Company determined that there was a beneficial conversion feature of approximately $8,500,000. The beneficial conversion feature was limited to $124,848, the proceeds received from the Series A Preferred Stock. This beneficial conversion feature has been reflected as a deemed dividend to the Series A Preferred stockholders in the statement of loss for the six months ended June 30, 2005.
 
The Company allocated the proceeds received in the Investor Financing, on a relative fair value basis, to the Series B Preferred Stock, the Series C Preferred stock and the warrants. For purposes of this allocation, the Company estimated the fair value of the Series B and C Preferred Stock based on the fair value of the common stock into which these shares could convert. The Company estimated the fair value of the warrants using the Black-Scholes pricing model. Using the effective conversion price of the Series C Preferred Stock, the Company determined that there was a beneficial conversion feature of approximately $9,672,000. The beneficial conversion feature was limited to $2,465,000, the allocated proceeds received from the Series C Preferred Stock. This beneficial conversion feature has been reflected as a deemed dividend to the Series C Preferred stockholders in the statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2005. As additional paid-in capital includes amounts from both common and preferred stock, there is no net impact to stockholders’ equity as a result of the deemed dividend. Since the Series B Preferred Stock converts into common stock of Markland, there was considered to be no beneficial conversion feature or deemed dividend with respect to the common stockholders of Technest.
 
Common Stock Issuances
 
On February 14, 2005, Technest issued to Markland 1,954,023 shares of its common stock in exchange for 10,168,764 shares of Markland common stock in accordance with the terms of a Securities Purchase Agreement between Markland and Technest (see Note 3). On this date, Technest became a majority owned subsidiary of Markland. Markland also agreed to issue additional shares of its common stock with a value of $5,000,000 to Technest upon conversion of Technest's Series B Preferred Stock.
 
In conjunction with this Securities Purchase Agreement, Technest and Markland entered into a Registration Rights Agreement, dated February 14, 2005. Technest has agreed to use its best efforts to file a registration statement on Form SB-2 as soon as possible after it receives a request for registration from Markland (or the holder of a majority of the registrable securities if Markland transfers some or all of its shares) and to cause the registration statement to be declared effective. Pursuant to this agreement, Technest also agreed to keep the registration statement effective until the earlier of (a) thirty-six (36) months following the date of the agreement or (b) such time that the securities cease to be registrable securities due to the elimination of their transfer restrictions.
 
Markland, a homeland defense, armed services and intelligence contractor, is a public company with a class of equity securities registered pursuant to Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act.
 
On June 22, 2005, the Company issued 104,455 shares each to ipPartners and Verdi Consulting in a net-share exercise of warrants issued in conjunction with the Company Series B and C Convertible Preferred Stock to purchase 267,366 shares of the Company’s common stock. The net-share settlement feature was permitted as the Company failed to effect a registration statement by the prescribed date there under.
 
On August 17, 2005, pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement with Markland Technologies, Inc., our majority stockholder, Technest purchased all of the outstanding stock of EOIR, formerly one of Markland’s wholly-owned subsidiaries. As consideration for the stock of EOIR, Technest issued 12 million shares of its common stock to Markland. Since this was a transaction between entities under common control, the Company has reported this stock issuance as though the transfer of EOIR occurred at the date Technest became part of Markland’s control group, February 14, 2005.

During the year June 30, 2006, the company issued the following amounts of common stock:

Markland Stock Options

On June 29, 2004, Markland issued options to purchase its common stock to eleven former minority owners of EOIR who continued employment with EOIR. These options have a ten year term and vest ratably over a five year period. Ten of these employees received options to purchase 9,345,737 shares of Markland common stock at a price of $.3775. On the date of grant, the intrinsic value of these options, $3,528,016, was recorded as unearned stock-based compensation and additional paid in capital. This intrinsic value will be amortized to stock compensation over the five year vesting period.
 
One employee received five options, each of which allows for the purchase of a number of Markland shares equal to .11799575 times a fraction of $1,600,000 divided by the fair value of Markland’s stock on the vesting date. One of these options vests each year for the next five years. The exercise price of these options will be one-half the fair value of Markland’s stock on the vesting date. The intrinsic value of these options based on the fair value of Markland’s stock on June 30, 2005 is $471,983. This intrinsic value has been recorded as unearned stock-based compensation and additional paid in capital. Due to the variable nature of the exercise price and number of Markland shares to be issued under these options, the intrinsic value will be remeasured each period until the terms are fixed. The intrinsic value of each option will be amortized over the vesting periods. As of June 30, 2005, the maximum number of Markland shares issuable under these options is 7,866,383.
 
During the three months ended December 31, 2004, 3,009,574 options were cancelled due to the departure of four employees. In conjunction with the departure of two of these employees, Markland modified the options so that the employees were immediately vested in 40% of the options held. Without modification, these options would have been cancelled upon termination. As a result of this modification, EOIR remeasured the intrinsic value on the remeasurement date and determined that there was no incremental value. Therefore, the Company fully amortized the remaining unearned portion of the vested options upon modification. The cancellation of the remaining unvested options resulted in a reduction in unearned compensation and additional paid-in capital of $1,136,099.

In conjunction with an employment agreement with Dr. Mackin, Markland accelerated the vesting of Dr. Mackin’s options to purchase 1,250,286 shares of the Markland’s common stock at a price of $.3775 per share. As a result of this modification, the Company remeasured the intrinsic value of the modified options and determined that there was no additional intrinsic value. The Company fully amortized the unearned compensation related to these options. In May 2005, Markland allowed Dr. Mackin to exchange options to purchase 1,250,286 shares of common stock for the same number of shares of common stock. As a result, the Company has recorded additional paid-in capital and stock compensation, included in selling, general and administrative expenses, of $137,534, equal to the fair value of the Markland common stock on the date of grant.

F-31


In accordance with AICPA Accounting Interpretation 1, Stock Plans Established by a Principal Stockholder, of APB Opinion No. 25 and FASB Interpretation (FIN) No. 44, Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation, paragraph 14, the Company has recognized the same amount of compensation expense for these awards as has been recognized by Markland in those consolidated financial statements. For the year ended June 30, 2006 and six months ended June 30, 2005, the Company recorded in selling, general and administrative expense $96,339 and $634,052, respectively, in stock-based compensation relating to these options. As of December 31, 2005 all these options were cancelled. The expense recognized through the cancellation date approximated the portion of the options that were fully vested upon cancellation. Therefore, there was no reversal of expense upon cancellation. As of June 30, 2006 and 2005, unearned compensation related to these options was $0 and $1,541,490, respectively.

Markland Common Stock Issuances

In the six months ended June 30, 2005, Markland issued 2,754,597 shares of its common stock to employees of EOIR. As a result, the Company has recorded additional paid-in capital and stock compensation, included in selling, general and administrative expenses, of $272,926, equal to the fair value of the Markland common stock on the date of grant.
 
Reverse stock split
 
On June 2, 2005, the Board of Directors of Technest and the holders of a majority of the common stock of Technest approved a 1-for-211.18 reverse split (the "Reverse Split"). The Reverse Split became effective at the close of business on July 19, 2005. All share and per share information has been retroactively restated to reflect the Reverse Split. The total authorized shares of common stock of 495,000,000 did not change as a result of the Reverse Split.
 
8. OPTIONS AND WARRANTS
 
In June 2001, the Company established the 2001 Stock Option Plan ("Plan") which provides for the granting of options which are intended to qualify either as incentive stock options ("Incentive Stock Options") within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or as options which are not intended to meet the requirements of such section ("Non-Statutory Stock Options"). The total number of shares of common stock for issuance under the 2001 Plan shall not exceed 10,000,000. Options to purchase shares may be granted under the Plan to persons who, in the case of Incentive Stock Options, are key employees (including officers) of the Company or, in the case of Non-statutory Stock Options, are key employees (including officers) or nonemployee directors of, or nonemployee consultants to, the Company.
 
The exercise price of all Incentive Stock Options granted under the Plan must be at least equal to the fair market value of such shares on the date of the grant or, in the case of Incentive Stock Options granted to the holder of more than 10% of the Company's common stock, at least 110% of the fair market value of such shares on the date of the grant. The maximum exercise period for which Incentive Stock Options may be granted is ten years from the date of grant (five years in the case of an individual owning more than 10% of the Company's common stock). The aggregate fair market value (determined at the date of the option grant) of shares with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by the holder of the option during any calendar year shall not exceed $100,000.
 
The exercise price of all Non-Statutory Stock Options granted under the Plan must be at least equal to 80% of the fair market value of such shares on the date of the grant.
 
No options were granted pursuant to the Plan during the year ended June 30, 2006 and the six months ended June 30, 2005.

In connection with the Investor Financing on February 14, 2005 (see Note 7), the Company issued five year warrants to purchase 1,149,425 shares of Technest common stock at an exercise price of $6.50 per share. In accordance with the stock purchase warrant agreement, in the event a registration statement covering these shares is not declared effective within four months of the warrant issuance date, the warrant holders may exercise the warrants on a net share settlement basis. The Company did not have an effective registration statement covering these shares as of June 30, 2006. The relative fair value of these warrants of $1,508,000 was estimated using the Black-Scholes model and the following assumptions:
 
Exercise price
$ 6.50
Expected dividend yield
0%
Expected lives of warrants (in years)
5.0
Volatility
50%
Risk-free interest rate
3.53%
 
The Company estimated its expected volatility in consideration of a number of factors including its historical volatility and the volatility of comparable companies in terms of size and industry.

Upon issuance, these warrants were recorded as derivative liabilities (see Note 5).

In connection with the acquisition of Genex (see Note 3), Markland agreed to replace options to purchase 312,000 shares of Genex common stock with fully vested options for the purchase of the same number of shares of Markland common stock with an exercise price equal to the fair value of Markland’s common stock on the grant date. The fair value of these options was considered to be immaterial for purposes of determining the total consideration paid for Genex.

Stock Award Plan

On March 13, 2006, Technest adopted the Technest Holdings, Inc. 2006 Stock Award Plan, pursuant to which Technest may award up to 1,000,000 shares of its common stock to employees, officers, directors, consultants and advisors to Technest and its subsidiaries. The purpose of this plan is to secure for Technest and its shareholders the benefits arising from capital stock ownership by employees, officers and directors of, and consultants or advisors to, Technest and its subsidiaries who are expected to contribute to the Company’s future growth and success.

Technest has broad discretion in making grants under the Plan and may make grants subject to such terms and conditions as determined by the board of directors or the committee appointed by the board of directors to administer the Plan. Stock awards under the Plan will be subject to the terms and conditions, including any applicable purchase price and any provisions pursuant to which the stock may be forfeited, set forth in the document making the award. Pursuant to the Stockholder Agreement with Markland (see Note 8), (i) awards relating to no more than 500,000 shares may be granted in calendar year 2006 (the “2006 Awards”), (ii) the 2006 Awards shall vest no earlier than twelve (12) months following the date of grant of such awards, and (iii) awards granted on or after January 1, 2007 shall vest no more frequently than in four equal quarterly installments.

These shares are restricted and vest 33.33% on each of April 1, July 1 and October 1, 2007. The fair value of these shares, $1,361,700, is being recorded as stock-based compensation in selling, general and administrative expenses on a straight line basis over the vesting period. In the year ended June 30, 2006, the Company recorded $257,619 related to these restricted stock grants.
 
In the year ended June 30, 2006, the Company granted 100 shares of restricted common stock to each of its employees. As a result, the Company is obligated to issue 16,800 shares of its common stock. These shares vest on May 7, 2007. The fair value of these shares, $85,680, is being recorded as stock-based compensation in selling, general and administrative expenses on a straight line basis over the vesting period. In the year ended June 30, 2006, the Company recorded $21,809 related to these restricted stock grants.

Government Contracts - Genex
 
The Company's billings and revenue on time and material contracts are based on provisional fringe, general & administrative and overhead rates which are subject to audit by the contracting government agency.  During an audit conducted in November 2004 covering the fiscal year 2002, the Defense Contract Audit Agency (“DCAA”) discovered significant deficiencies in Genex’s accounting system that resulted in misclassified and unallowable costs. Their examination disclosed eight significant deficiencies in Genex’s accounting system that resulted in misclassified costs. They were as follows:
 
 
1.
Contractor does not follow policies and procedures concerning accounting for unallowable costs.

 
2.
Contractor does not follow policies and procedures concerning accounting for material costs.

 
3.
Contractor lacks adequate written policies and procedures concerning capitalization of assets.

 
4.
Contractor does not have adequate policies and procedures to ensure proper segregation of duties in handling its labor costs.

 
5.
Contractor’s procedure for calculating the proposed hourly labor rate of its employees results in overstated labor costs.

 
6.
Contractor fails to maintain policies and procedures for classifying the labor categories of its employees.

 
7.
Employees fail to follow the contractor’s policies and procedures in regards to maintaining timesheets on a current basis.

 
8.
Contractor’s policy of billing labor costs results in billing the Government for employees that are not employees of Genex.
 
F-35


Since the acquisition of Genex, the management of Technest has terminated the Genex employees responsible for this function and rapidly installed appropriate internal controls and oversight over Genex’s accounting system to ensure that they comply with applicable laws and regulations and are adequate and operating effectively. The DCAA has since re-audited the Genex financial systems and has communicated to Genex that the revised procedures are satisfactory. Genex will be allowed to complete certain previous contacts awarded by the Department of Defense but may be required to refund amounts overbilled to its customers.
 
The Company has accrued $68,017 for overpayments for 2002 and has extended the analysis of misclassified and unallowed costs to June 30, 2005, after which there were no additional misclassified or unallowable costs. The Company has determined that $102,228 is the total amount repayable to the government (inclusive of $68,017 accrued for 2002 overpayments). This amount is included in accrued expenses at June 30, 2006.
 
The Company's billings related to certain U.S. Government contracts are based on provisional general and administrative and overhead rates which are subject to audit by the contracting government agency.
 
Lien on Assets

Additionally, if at the end of three years from the date of execution of the License Agreement, Markland has not realized enough net gross profits to generate an aggregate $300,000 of royalties, or $150,000 in royalties on an annual basis thereafter, the license shall become non-exclusive.

As a condition of the License Agreement, we are required to take all steps reasonably necessary to maintain our current patents and prosecute our current patent applications.

The License Agreement provides that Markland may cancel the agreement at any time upon 180 days notice. Technest may cancel the License Agreement if Markland fails to make a required royalty payment and does not cure such failure within thirty days of receiving notice of the failure or Markland violates the licensing terms of the License Agreement.

In conjunction with the License Agreement, Technest transferred inventory with a cost of $105,218 from Genex to Markland related to Genex’s commercial products.
 
11. INCOME TAXES
 
There was no provision for federal income taxes for the year ended June 30, 2006 and the six months ended June 30, 2005 due to the Company's operating losses and a full valuation reserve on deferred tax assets.
 
Since its acquisition by Markland, the Company files consolidated income tax returns with Markland and, for financial statement purposes, computes its provision or benefit for income taxes based on the income and expenses reporting in the Company’s statements of operations. The allocation is not subject to a tax sharing arrangement with Markland and it is based on the tax effect of the Company’s operations as if it had not been included in a consolidated return, based on the pre-acquisition book and tax basis of the Company’s assets and liabilities.
 
The Company's deferred tax assets consist primarily of the tax effects of its net operating loss carry forwards. The use of the federal net operating loss carry forwards may be limited in future years as a result of ownership changes in the Company's common stock, as defined by section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. The Company has not completed an analysis of these changes.
 
The Company has provided a full valuation reserve against the deferred tax asset because of the Company's loss history and significant uncertainty surrounding the Company's ability to utilize its net operating loss carryforward.
 
At June 30, 2006, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes of approximately $11,000,000, which will expire in various amounts through 2026.
 
A reconciliation of the provision (benefit) for income taxes to taxes at the federal statutory rate is as follows:

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Significant components of the Company's deferred tax assets and liabilities at June 30, 2006 and June 30, 2005 are as follows:

For financial reporting purposes, the Company has recorded a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets as management has determined that it is not more likely than not that the deferred tax assets for which the allowance has been established will materialize. In the year ended June 30, 2006, the valuation allowance decreased $3,400,000 as a result of Technest's acquisition of EOIR on August 17, 2005 and EOIR's related deferred tax liability. In the six months ended June 30, 2005, there was no change in the valuation allowance.

14.  LITIGATION

Technest Holdings, Inc.

On or about July 23, 1998, H & H Acquisition Corporation, individually and purportedly on behalf of Technest Holdings, commenced an action in United States District Court, Southern District of New York entitled “H & H Acquisition Corp., individually and on behalf of Technest Holdings, Inc. v. Financial Intranet Holdings, Inc. Technest Holdings, Inc., F/K /A Financial Intranet, Inc., Ben Stein, Interwest Transfer Co., Steven A. Sanders, Michael Sheppard, Maura Marx, Henry A. Schwartz, Leonard Gotshalk, Gotshalk Enterprises, Law Office of Steven A. Sanders, P.C. and Beckman, Millman & Sanders, LLP, 98 Civ. 5269”. The plaintiffs are purporting to act on behalf of Technest in the context of a shareholder’s derivative suit. The action’s principal basis appears to be a claim that Ben Stein, a former director and Secretary of Technest, wrongfully claims ownership of shares of common stock that Stein agreed to purchase from H&H. According to H&H, these shares belong to them. H&H asserts sixteen causes of action. Only some make allegations against Technest Holdings, Inc., Michael Sheppard and Maura Marx, former officers of Technest.

F-40


Technest, Mr. Sheppard and Ms. Marx believe that the claims against Technest, Mr. Sheppard and Ms. Marx are without merit and are vigorously defending the action. Technest, Mr. Sheppard and Ms. Marx have filed responses to the claims against them. The responses deny all material allegations of the complaint and the claim asserted by the transfer agent, and asserts a variety of defenses. We cannot make any assurances about the litigation’s outcome.

In June 2006, the court directed the parties to address the court’s continuing subject matter jurisdiction over Technest in the H&H matter. Technest has responded to the court’s direction and believes that as a result of intervening corporate actions, the injunctive relief sought by the plaintiff which gives rise the court’s subject matter jurisdiction in this case has been rendered moot, thereby depriving the court of continuing subject matter jurisdiction. Technest believes that the case as currently styled is fundamentally a dispute between H&H Acquisition Corp. and Ben Stein.

As of October 9, 2006, Technest has not been notified of a trial date for this matter.

On or about May 30, 2006, Deer Creek Fund LLC filed a claim for Interference with Contract and Breach of the Implied Covenant of Good Faith and Fair Dealing against Technest, seeking unspecified monetary damages.  Deer Creek alleges misconduct on the part of Technest related to a proposed sale by Deer Creek of 157,163 shares of Technest common stock at $7.00 per share and the applicability of certain selling restrictions under a registration rights agreement entered into between the parties. Technest believes that the allegations in this lawsuit are entirely without merit. Technest has been aggressively defending this action, and has filed an answer denying Deer Creek’s allegations and vigorously opposes all relief sought.

EOIR Technologies, Inc.

On or about September 16, 2004, Joseph R. Moulton, Sr. initiated a lawsuit in the Circuit Court of Spotsylvania County, Virginia, against Markland, EOIR, and our former Chief Executive Officer and former Director, Robert Tarini, in his capacity as Markland’s Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Moulton was the largest single shareholder of EOIR prior to its acquisition by Markland, owning approximately 67% of the EOIR capital stock. Mr. Moulton received approximately $5,863,000 in cash and a promissory note of EOIR in the approximate principal amount of $6,967,000 for his shares of EOIR at the closing of the acquisition of EOIR by Markland.
 
In his complaint Mr. Moulton asserts, among other things, that Markland and EOIR breached their obligations under the Stock Purchase Agreement, dated June 30, 2004, pursuant to which Markland acquired EOIR, by terminating Mr. Moulton's employment with EOIR and removing him from the EOIR board of directors.
 
On August 3, 2006, Mr. Moulton, Technest, Markland, EOIR and Robert Tarini reached a settlement agreement pursuant to which upon payment of $120,000 and the pre-payment of certain EOIR outstanding promissory notes, the parties each dismissed their claims against one another. The payments required by the settlement agreement were made on August 10, 2006.
 
Markland and EOIR were notified on July 11, 2005 by counsel for Greg and Mary Williams, former shareholders and employees of EOIR and, in the case of Mr. Williams, a former director of Markland, that the Williams’ filed a lawsuit in the Commonwealth of Virginia, naming EOIR and Markland as defendants, seeking damages in the amount of $3,000,000 regarding a number of contractual disputes involving the registration of shares of Markland common stock underlying certain options issued to the Williams’ in connection with the acquisition of EOIR by Markland and severance payments pursuant to severance agreements by and among the Williams’, EOIR and Markland. On August 3, 2005, EOIR and Markland filed an answer and a demurrer denying all liability. On November 4, 2005, the Court heard the demurrer filed by EOIR Technologies, Inc. and Markland Technologies, Inc. and denied it. On April 6, 2006, a hearing was held in the Circuit Court for the City of Fredericksburg, Virginia on the Williams’ motion for summary judgment. On May 4, 2006, the court granted the Williams’ motion for summary judgment with regard to liability on Count I of the Williams’ claim regarding severance payment and Count III of their claim regarding Markland’s failure to register shares of Markland’s common stock underlying their options. We have, and continue to assert that Count III of the Williams’ complaint does not allege wrongdoing by EOIR and thus, we believe that we have no liability on that claim. Count II of the claim, which seeks a declaration that the promissory notes issued to Mr. and Mrs. Williams in connection with the acquisition of EOIR by Markland on June 29, 2004 are in default and an acceleration of the payments due under those notes, was not addressed by the court’s order.
 
On July 27, 2006, the Company entered into an agreement with the Williams pursuant to which the Company paid them $246,525 in satisfaction of their claims for severance under Count I and agreed to pay the outstanding balance of their promissory notes, along with all accrued but unpaid interest, in satisfaction of Count II which was paid on August 10, 2006. The Williams continue to assert claims against us for attorney’s fees and costs on all three counts of their complaint. Count III was not addressed by this agreement.
 
F-41


On September 1, 2006, the Company entered into an agreement with Markland pursuant to which we agreed to indemnify Markland against any judgment for damages or attorney’s fees ordered by the Court pursuant to Counts I or II and Markland agreed to indemnify the Company against any judgment for damages or attorney’s fees ordered by the Court pursuant to Count III.
 
The case is currently set for trial on November 14, 15 and 16, 2006, at which time the damages, if any, for Count III will be determined as well as costs and attorney’s fees, if applicable, for Counts I, II and III.
 
In the event that Mr. and Mrs. Williams prevail in any of their claims against Markland, Technest shares owned by Markland would be among the assets available to satisfy a resulting judgment.
 
15. TRANSITION PERIOD
 
On June 30, 2005, the Company elected to change its fiscal year-end from December 31 to June 30 resulting in a six-month transition period. As a result, the unaudited statements for the comparable period in 2004 are set forth below.

 Common Stock Issuances

Subsequent to June 30, 2006, the Company has issued 273,974 shares of common stock with a fair value of $706,990 in satisfaction of liquidated damages under our Registration Rights Agreement dated February 14, 2005, as amended on October 3, 2005 and February 27, 2006 for the months of June through September, 2006.

Bank Financing

On August 10, 2006, Technest, EOIR and Genex, closed on a financing (the “Financing”) under two Loan and Security Agreements with Silicon Valley Bank (the “Bank”) executed on August 4, 2006 (the “Credit Agreements”). One Credit Agreement provides for a term loan facility under which the Company may borrow term loans with an initial minimum loan of $3,000,000 (the “Term Loan Facility”). Subject to the Bank’s receipt of additional documentation for the period through the month ending December 31, 2006 and if no event of default under the Credit Agreement has occurred or is continuing, we may borrow up to an additional $1,000,000 under the Term Loan Facility on or before February 15, 2007. The other Credit Agreement provides for a one year revolving line of credit for up to $8,750,000 (the “Revolver”), provided that the Company’s borrowing under the Revolver is limited to 80% of eligible accounts receivable. In addition, the maximum amount outstanding under both Credit Agreements at any time may not exceed $10,000,000. Both the Term Loan Facility and the Revolver are secured by all of the Company’s assets and the assets of its subsidiaries, including all intellectual property.

F-43


Upon the date of closing under the Credit Agreements, the Company borrowed the entire $3,000,000 available under the Term Loan Facility and borrowed approximately $4,445,000 under the Revolver.
 
Interest on all outstanding amounts under the Term Loan is payable monthly at a rate equal to the Bank’s prime rate plus 2.75%. This interest rate will be reduced to (i) the Bank’s prime rate plus 2.00% if we achieve a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement with respect to the Term Loan Facility) of at least 1.75 to 1.0 for three consecutive fiscal quarters after August 4, 2006 or (ii) the Bank’s prime rate plus 1.50% if we achieve a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of at least 2.0 to 1.0 for three consecutive fiscal quarters after August 4, 2006. Each loan under the Term Loan Facility is repayable in 36 equal monthly principal installments plus accrued interest.

The Revolver will bear interest at a rate equal to the Bank’s prime rate plus 0.50% per annum, but the Company must pay a minimum quarterly amount equal to the interest on an outstanding balance of $1,400,000. In addition, the Company will pay a monthly collateral handling fee of 0.10% per month on financed receivables. Interest and handling fees are paid as invoices are collected.
 
The financial covenants under the Term Loan require that the Company maintain, on a monthly basis tested as of the last day of each month, a minimum quick ratio (representing the ratio of quick assets (or cash and accounts receivable) plus total marketable securities to current liabilities, plus all short-term indebtedness to the Bank but excluding subordinated debt and debt from affiliates) of 0.70 to 1.0 through November 30, 2006, 0.85 to 1.0 from December 31, 2006 through May 31, 2007, 1.0 to 1.0 from June 30, 2007 through August 31, 2007 and 1.20 to 1.0 from September 30, 2007 and all monthly reporting periods thereafter. If the Company does not maintain these ratios, then the sum of the Company’s cash plus 80% of eligible accounts receivable minus borrowings under the Revolver must exceed $2,000,000. The Company must maintain a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio measured on the last day of every month for the three month period ending on the last day of such month, of at least 1:0 to 1:0 through periods ending November 30, 2006; at least 1.25:1.0 for periods ending on December 31, 2006 through May 31, 2007; and at least 1.50:1.0 for all periods thereafter. In addition, the Credit Agreements contain affirmative and negative covenants concerning the Company operations including restrictions on our ability to dispose of our assets, change our business, ownership or management, incur other indebtedness, create or permit liens on the Company’s property, make investments, pay dividends, redeem stock or engage in transactions with affiliates.

Markland has entered into an Unconditional Guaranty pursuant to which Markland agreed to guaranty up to $6,000,000 of the principal obligations plus interest thereon and related expenses under the Credit Agreements and a Stock Pledge Agreement pursuant to which Markland pledged to the Bank 1,739,130 shares of Technest common stock currently owned by Markland, which had a market value of $6,000,000 as of August 4, 2006. The Guaranty and the Stock Pledge Agreement terminate August 3, 2008 if no event of default has occurred.

 Pre-Payment of Promissory Notes and Settlement of Moulton Litigation

The Company used a portion of the proceeds of the Financing to pre-pay the outstanding principal of $4,952,526 of certain EOIR promissory notes issued in June 2004. After these payments, there remains outstanding EOIR notes issued in June 2004 having a total outstanding principal balance of $1,655,893, of which $608,957 is outstanding principal owed to Technest’s current Chief Executive Officer and one of the Company’s directors, Joseph P. Mackin. The security interest securing these remaining notes was subordinated to the Bank’s first priority security interest.
 
In addition, the Company used a portion of the proceeds of the Financing to fully settle the lawsuit initiated by Joseph R. Moulton, Sr. in the Circuit Court of Spotsylvania County, Virginia, against Markland, EOIR, and Technest’s former Chief Executive Officer and former director, Robert Tarini, in his capacity as Markland’s Chief Executive Officer. Upon an additional payment to Mr. Moulton of $120,000 and the pre-payment in full of certain outstanding EOIR notes issued in June 2004 as stated above, the parties agreed to dismiss their claims against one another.
 
Unregistered Sale of Equity Securities

As consideration for the Credit Agreements and in connection with the closing of the Financing, the Company issued the Bank a Warrant to purchase 75,000 shares of Technest common stock at an exercise price of $5.85 per share. The Warrant expires August 3, 2013. We also entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the Bank pursuant to which we granted “piggy-back” and S-3 registration rights for the shares of Technest common stock underlying the Warrant. This transaction was not registered under the Securities Act, but was made in reliance upon the exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act set forth in Section 4(2) thereof. The fair value of this warrant will be recorded as a debt issuance cost and amortized to interest expense over the term of the debt.

F-44


As consideration for the subordination of the security interest to the Bank and in connection with the closing of the Financing, the Company issued to the seven remaining EOIR subordinated note holders a total of 99,779 shares of the Company’s common stock having a fair value of $289,359, of which our current Chief Executive Officer and one of the Company’s directors, Joseph P. Mackin, received 23,913 shares. Of the remaining six other note holders, five are employees and one is a consultant. This transaction was not registered under the Securities Act, but was made in reliance upon the exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act set forth in Section 4(2) thereof. The fair value of these shares will be recorded as debt issuance costs and amortized to interest expense over the term of the Financing.

On July 17, 2006, the Company entered into an agreement with Crystal Research Associates to have an Executive Informational Overview independently written about the company. As part of the consideration, the Company issued Crystal Research a warrant to purchase 200,000 shares of Technest common stock at an exercise price of 110% of the closing price of the Company’s stock on July 17, 2006 or $1.89. The fair value of this warrant will be charged to expense as the services are performed.

Based on our management's evaluation, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the "Exchange Act")) are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms.
 
 
Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting
 
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2006 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. It should be noted that any system of controls, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system are met. In addition, the design of any control system is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events. Because of these and other inherent limitations of control systems, there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote.
