Recent Developments

Proposed Sale of EOIR Technologies, Inc.

On September 10, 2007, Technest Holdings, Inc. (the “Company” or “Technest”) and its wholly owned subsidiary, E-OIR Technologies, Inc. (“EOIR”), entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with EOIR Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ( “LLC”), pursuant to which Technest will sell EOIR to LLC.  LLC is an entity formed on August 9, 2007 by The White Oak Group, Inc., an Atlanta, Georgia based private investment firm, for the purposes of facilitating this transaction.  The White Oak Group, Inc. is a private investment firm focused on investments in the aerospace and defense industry, with an emphasis on the following sectors: Homeland security (detection and deterrence); avionics and instrumentation; command and control; and communication networks and services.

The sale of EOIR to LLC will be structured as a stock sale in which LLC will acquire all of the outstanding stock of EOIR in exchange for approximately $34 million in cash, $11 million of which will be paid at closing and $23 million of which will be paid upon the successful re-award to EOIR of the contract with the U.S. Army's Night Vision and Electronics Sensors Directorate.

In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 144 (“SFAS 144”), EOIR is presented as a discontinued operation in the consolidated financial statements.

Summary of the Transaction

Pursuant to the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, at the closing, LLC will acquire all of the outstanding common stock of EOIR from Technest and LLC will pay Technest $11 million in cash.  The initial cash payment due at closing will be subject to adjustment (up or down) depending on EOIR’s net working capital on the closing date.  In addition to the initial cash payment, LLC has agreed to pay Technest an additional contingent payment of $23 million if, on or prior to December 31, 2009, EOIR is awarded the follow-on of EOIR’s current contract with the U.S. Army's Night Vision and Electronics Sensors Directorate. We estimate that the contract will be awarded during fiscal 2008.

Technest and LLC have agreed to deposit $200,000 of the initial purchase price payment and $2.3 million of the contingent purchase price payment (if any) in an escrow account to secure indemnification obligations of Technest under the Stock Purchase Agreement.

As a condition of the sale, the proceeds will be used to extinguish debt from Silicon Valley Bank, Shelter Island and the former EOIR note holders. As of June 30, 2007, the face value of these loans was $9,785,616.

The transaction has been approved unanimously by the board of directors of Technest and EOIR. The board of directors of Technest was advised by Rodman & Renshaw, LLC who acted as a financial advisor to Technest and provided a fairness opinion to the Technest board as to the fairness of the consideration to be received by Technest.

Conditions to Completion of the Transaction

Technest and LLC will complete the transaction when all of the conditions to closing are satisfied or waived, including among other things, approval of the transaction by the stockholders of Technest.  In addition, as a condition to closing, LLC, which is in the process of applying for a small business investment company license under the Small Business Investment Company Act of 1958, must obtain the approval of the transaction as a “pre-license investment” from the Small Business Administration.

In connection with the Stock Purchase Agreement, certain stockholders of Technest representing approximately 42% of Technest’s outstanding Common Stock, entered into Voting Agreements, pursuant to which such stockholders agreed to vote their Technest shares in favor of the proposed transaction.

The foregoing summary of the Stock Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated therein is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Stock Purchase Agreement, which was filed as Exhibit 2.1 to a current report on Form 8-K (SEC File # 000-27023) filed with the SEC on September 13, 2007.  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.

Termination of Certain Sections of Stockholder Agreement and of License Agreement.

On August 31, 2007, Technest Holdings, Inc. entered into a Release Agreement with Southridge Partners, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“Southridge”), a current stockholder of the Company, pursuant to which the parties agreed, among other things, to the following:

·  
Technest and Markland Technologies, Inc. (“Markland”) were parties to a Stockholder Agreement, dated March 13, 2006 (the “Stockholder Agreement”), and a License Agreement dated March 13, 2006 (the “License Agreement”).  Pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption Agreement dated as of August 30, 2007 between Markland and Southridge, Markland assigned all of its rights in the Stockholder Agreement and the License Agreement to Southridge. As part of the Release Agreement, Southridge and Technest agreed to (a) terminate the obligations set forth in Section 1 of the Stockholder Agreement that restrict the ability of Technest to issue equity securities, convertible debt or derivative securities, (b) terminate the obligations set forth in Section 5 of the Stockholder Agreement relating to a right of co-sale and (c) terminate the License Agreement in its entirety.  All rights, title and interest in the intellectual property that was subject to the License Agreement reverts back to Technest and its subsidiaries.

·  
Voting Agreement. Southridge agreed that it will vote all shares of Technest Common Stock owned by it and to cause its Affiliates that own shares of Technest Common Stock or Technest Preferred Stock to vote all of their shares, in favor of certain transactions entered into by September 10, 2007 that are approved and recommended by a majority of the directors of Technest under certain conditions.

·  
Board Representation. The Board of Directors of Technest agreed to increase the size of the board from five to six and fix the number of directors of Technest at six and to elect two reasonably qualified individuals representing Southridge to fill the newly created directorships in accordance with Technest’s Bylaws.

·  
Other Terms.  Until March 31, 2008 or upon the satisfaction of certain conditions, whichever is earlier, Technest agreed that it would refrain from (a) issuing any shares of its Common Stock or securities convertible into its Common Stock, other than (i) shares to be issued in certain permissible offerings; (ii) certain shares already awarded under Technest’s 2006 Stock Award Plan, and (iii) 250,000 shares to be issued under the 2006 Stock Award Plan; (b) entering into any transaction with its officers, directors, stockholders or any of their Affiliates, except for transactions that are in the ordinary course of Technest’s business, upon fair and reasonable terms that are no less favorable to Technest than would be obtained in an arm’s length transaction with a non-Affiliated person or entity.

·  
Consideration.  As consideration for the Release Agreement, Technest agreed to issue Southridge 3,000,000 shares of Technest Common Stock, $0.001 par value per share.  The issuance of these securities was not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, but was made in reliance upon the exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act set forth in Section 4(2) thereof.

The foregoing description summarizes the material terms of the Release Agreement and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Release Agreement, which was filed as Exhibit 10.1 to a current report on Form 8-K (SEC File # 000-27023) filed with the SEC on September 7, 2007. 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.

Shelter Island Debt Financing

On June 1, 2007, Technest Holdings, Inc. closed on a financing pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement dated May 31, 2007 with Shelter Island Opportunity Fund, LLP (“Shelter Island”). Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company issued to Shelter Island a Secured Original Issue Discount Debenture bearing interest at the rate of 11.25% (or Prime +3%) with an aggregate principal amount of $1,650,000 (the “Debenture”) for a subscription amount of $1,500,000. The Debenture is due on May 31, 2010, unless otherwise accelerated by its terms.  The outstanding principal amount and all accrued interest thereon will be payable in 33 equal monthly installments commencing on August 31, 2007. On the maturity date of the Debenture, the Company also agreed to pay, as a termination fee (and not as a penalty), an amount equal to the product of (i) $45,000 and (ii) the number of months that have elapsed between May 31, 2007 and the date such payment is made by the Company to Shelter Island. This loan will be repaid in full on the closing of the sale of EOIR and as a result has been classified as part of discontinued operations.

-2-


The Debenture is secured by (i) the assets of the Company, including its securities in its wholly-owned subsidiaries, (ii) all rights of Markland Technologies, Inc. in and to the License Agreement dated March 31, 2006 between the Company and Markland, and (iii) the assets of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Genex Technologies Incorporated (“Genex”).  Other than the security interest from Markland, Shelter Island’s security interests are subordinated to the interests of Silicon Valley Bank pursuant to a Subordination Agreement entered into between Shelter Island and Silicon Valley Bank. The Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, Genex and E-OIR Technologies, Inc., guaranteed the Debenture.

The outstanding EOIR note holders subordinated their security interest and their right to receive payment in the event of default under the terms of the Debenture to Shelter Island. As consideration for this subordination, Technest agreed to pay the outstanding EOIR note holders a total of $82,795 on the closing of the transaction and an additional $82,795 on July 1, 2008 or the earlier payment of the EOIR note. Our Chief Executive Officer and one of our directors, Joseph P. Mackin, received $30,447.87 on the closing and will receive the same amount on July 1, 2008.

The Debenture, the Securities Purchase Agreement, along with the Security Agreements, and the Guaranty of Genex and EOIR were attached to the current report on Form 8-K (SEC File # 000-27023) filed with the SEC on June 5, 2007 as Exhibits 4.1, 10-1 through 10.7. The agreement between Technest and Dr. Mackin is attached as Exhibit 10.8 to that current report on Form 8-K. 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.

Markland’s Ownership of Technest Common Stock

Markland Technologies, Inc. filed a current report on Form 8-K (SEC File # 000- 28863) on June 29, 2007 to announce the entry into definitive agreements involving Markland’s ownership of certain shares of our common stock (the “June 15, 2007 Agreements”).  Among other things, the Form 8-K reported that Markland (i) sold 3,155,949 shares of its Technest common stock, (ii) issued a new series of preferred stock in exchange for Markland’s previously issued Series E preferred stock, referred to as the Markland Series G preferred stock, and (iii) granted Mr. Robert Tarini and Mr. Gino Pereira each 375,000 shares of its Technest common stock (collectively, the “Transferred Shares”).  In addition, Markland issued 443,592 shares of its Technest Common Stock as payment in full for liquidated damages Markland owed in connection with a registration rights agreement dated March 24, 2006 between Markland and its Series E investors.

Each share of Markland’s Series G preferred stock is convertible, at the option of the holder, into either (i) 20,000 shares of Technest common stock, currently outstanding and held by Markland, up to a maximum of 3,696,600 shares of Technest common stock, or (ii) a certain number of shares of Markland common stock.  Based solely on the disclosures in Markland’s Form 8-K, we understand that Markland has issued approximately 1,973.91 shares of Series G preferred stock to four institutional investors, which is potentially convertible into 3,696,600 shares of our common stock.

In connection with the issuance of the Transferred Shares, Markland agreed to cause us to file a registration statement with the SEC to register the resale of the Transferred Shares. 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. In that connection, we will be registering (i) the 3,155,949 shares of Technest common stock sold by Markland pursuant to the June 15, 2007 Agreements, (ii) the 750,000 shares of Technest common stock granted to Messrs. Tarini and Pereira, and (iii) the 443,492 shares of Technest common stock issued by Markland as liquidated damages. 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.

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

A description of the June 15, 2007 Agreements is set forth in Markland’s current report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on June 29, 2007. The Form 8-K 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 this current report 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 the report and, in particular, the agreements included as exhibits to the report, before making a decision to invest in our common stock.

3D FaceCam changes the way we capture photographs. The 3D FaceCam uses three sensors to create precise, complete 3D face images at light speed. By capturing the very highly detailed geometric and texture information on a face, the 3D FaceCam overcomes a photo’s traditional limitations of pose, lighting, and expression. Capture speed is less than half a second, enabling rapid processing of large numbers of people. 3D FaceCam is also highly accurate, making 3D FaceCam ideal for facial recognition.  In addition, with 3D FaceCam, medical professionals can capture and measure physical features in 3D (e.g., volume, surface area, projection, linear distance, and asymmetry), provide pre- and post-operation analysis to patients, and document surgical or treatment plans and results.  Time consuming and inaccurate measurements using calipers and reference points are no longer necessary. New techniques, such as symmetry analysis and implant volume calculations, are also now possible. Popular applications may include:
 
 
·
Biomedical Engineering – Production of custom-fitting prostheses.
 
 
·
Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery – Surgical planning, simulation, and pre/post-operation comparison.
 
 
·
Patient Communication – Simulation, explanation, and modification of treatment plans based upon 3D morphing and customer feedback.

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.

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.  

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.

-7-


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 our customers that directly compete with our technologies.

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 19 U.S. patents, which we will continue to own after the proposed EOIR sale. 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.

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.

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.

-8-


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 commercial security applications; and (3) to commercial healthcare applications. These marketing duties are divided among senior management.

Manufacturing

After the sale of EOIR, our primary manufacturing facilities are located in Bethesda, Maryland.

Employees

As of September 21, 2007, Technest had a total of 180 employees, 17 of which are full-time employees of Technest. The other employees are employees of EOIR, which is in the process of being sold. 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.


Technest has a three-year lease for executive offices of approximately 2,000 square feet in Boston, Massachusetts, which expires December 31, 2009. The monthly rental amount for this facility is approximately $4,500. In May 2007 this facility was vacated and subleased.
 
Technest currently also leases offices with approximately 6,848 square feet in Bethesda, Maryland, pursuant to a five-year lease which expires March 31, 2011. Monthly lease amounts for this facility total approximately $14,263, increasing annually by 3%. Technest’s wholly owned subsidiary, Genex Technologies, Inc. had moved into this space on April 1, 2006. Genex had leased offices with approximately 6,831 square feet in Kensington, Maryland, pursuant to a five-year lease which expired on January 31, 2006, which we had been extending on a monthly basis. Monthly lease amounts for this facility totaled approximately $10,100.

EOIR, our wholly owned subsidiary, holds a three-year lease for its executive and administrative offices of approximately 5,420 square feet in Woodbridge, Virginia. The lease expires on September 30, 2008. EOIR leases approximately 10,000 square feet in Spotsylvania, Virginia, where it houses its software development unit. The lease expires on October 31, 2009. EOIR also holds a five-year lease for 6,951 square feet in Spotsylvania, Virginia. The lease expires on October 15, 2010. EOIR also has several offices located in Fredericksburg, Virginia - one office with 1,200 square feet, with a two-year lease that expires on October 31, 2006, and one with 4,200 square feet, with a three-year lease that expires on June 30, 2007. Monthly lease amounts for these facilities total approximately $36,600.

We believe that our present facilities are adequate to meet our current needs. If new or additional space is required, we believe that adequate facilities are available at competitive prices.

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 September 21, 2007, 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.  A trial date for this claim had been set for July 10, 2007, which had to be unexpectedly rescheduled.  Technest has not been notified of a new trial date.

EOIR Technologies, Inc.

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.

-10-


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.

On March 21, 2007, EOIR and the Williams entered into a settlement agreement pursuant to which EOIR agreed to pay to the Williams $100,000 in 10 monthly installments of $10,000 each beginning on April 1, 2007 in exchange for the Williams to dismiss, with prejudice, their request for attorney’s fees against EOIR on Counts I and II of their motion for judgment and Count III as it pertained to EOIR.


 
We did not submit any matters to a vote of security holders during the three months ended June 30, 2007, which is the fourth quarter of our fiscal year.

Until March 30, 2001 our common stock was traded on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol FNTN. On April 2, 2001, our trading symbol was changed to FNIT and in July 2001, it was changed to THNS. Prior to our initial public offering on December 16, 1996, there was no public trading market for such shares. On July 19, 2005, as a result of our reverse stock split, we began trading under the symbol TCNH. In June 2005, we changed our fiscal year end from December 31 to June 30; however, the following table sets forth the high and low closing bid quotations for our common stock as set forth on Nasdaq.com for the calendar years listed below:

Item 6.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations for the years ending June 30, 2007 and 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 18 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, 2007 and we undertake no obligation to update or revise the statements in light of future developments.
 
Recent Developments
 
 Sale of EOIR Technologies, Inc.

In May 2007, in order to realize the value of E-OIR Technologies Inc. (“EOIR”) for the benefit of our shareholders, the Board of Directors adopted a plan to sell this wholly owned subsidiary of Technest Holdings, Inc. (the “Company” or “Technest”). On September 10, 2007, Technest and  E-OIR Technologies, Inc., entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with EOIR Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ( “LLC”), pursuant to which Technest will sell EOIR to LLC.  LLC is an entity formed on August 9, 2007 by The White Oak Group, Inc., an Atlanta, Georgia based private investment firm, for the purposes of facilitating this transaction.

The sale of EOIR to LLC will be structured as a stock sale in which LLC will acquire all of the outstanding stock of EOIR in exchange for approximately $34 million in cash, $11 million of which will be paid at closing and $23 million of which will be paid upon the successful re-award to EOIR of the contract with the U.S. Army's Night Vision and Electronics Sensors Directorate. A majority of the contingent payment of $23 million will be distributed to shareholders in the form of a cash dividend should it be received.

Accordingly, in accordance with SFAS 144, we have classified EOIR’s results of operations as discontinued operations for all periods presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.  All debt required to be repaid upon the sale of EOIR has been included in the liabilities of discontinued operations.  Interest expense on this debt has been included in the net loss from discontinued operations.

Year ended June 30, 2007 compared with the year ended June 30, 2006
 
 Revenues
 
Technest had $3,396,795 in revenues from continuing operations during the year ended June 30, 2007 compared with $3,542,393 during the year ended June 30, 2006. These revenues were largely generated by Small Business Innovative Research Grants (SBIR’s) in the field of 3-dimensional imaging. We use the revenue from these grants to develop future potential products for our business.

 Gross profit
 
The gross profit from continuing operations for the year ended June 30, 2007 was $1,276,790 or 38% of revenues. The gross profit for the year ended June 30, 2006 was $1,348,070 or 38% of revenues. Technest expects to expand its revenue base to include commercial product revenues and, accordingly, gross profit on future revenues may differ.

-13-


Selling, general and administrative expenses
 
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended June 30, 2007 were $3,600,562 and consisted primarily of legal and professional fees of approximately $401,341 and amortization of stock-based compensation related granted to directors and officers amounting to $1,170,432.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended June 30, 2006 were $2,850,678, and consisted primarily of legal and professional fees of approximately $594,000 and amortization of stock-based compensation amounting to $279,428.

Certain general and administrative expenses of the Company that are clearly associated with EOIR totaling approximately $726,000 and $300,000 in the years ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, have been included in the net loss from discontinued operations.

 
Amortization of intangible assets
 
Amortization of intangible assets for the year ended June 30, 2007 was $324,741. Amortization of intangible assets for the year ended June 30, 2006 was $324,841. Amortization expense relates to the definite-lived intangible assets acquired in conjunction with Genex Technologies.

Operating loss

The operating loss for the year ended June 30, 2007 was $2,649,606. The operating loss for the year ended June 30, 2006 was $1,881,273.
  
 Other (expenses) income
 
In the year ended June 30, 2007, Technest charged to interest expense $1,744,102, including $1,531,430 paid in common stock related to liquidated damages incurred for failure to have an effective registration statement.

In the year ended June 30, 2006, Technest charged to interest expense $2,303,662, including $2,104,461 paid in common stock related to liquidated damages incurred for failure to have an effective registration statement.

Derivative income 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 changes in the fair value of the warrants recorded as derivative income in the statement of operations was $25,046,489. Derivative income 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 would have resulted in pro forma net loss applicable to common shareholders of ($4,793,825) for the year ended June 30, 2006. Pro forma basic and diluted loss per common share would have been ($0.31) for the year ended June 30, 2006.

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.

Discontinued Operations

Revenues from EOIR’s operation in the year ended June 30, 2007 were $68,349,121 compared with $77,533,227 for the year ended June 30, 2006. Although EOIR’s order book remained strong, EOIR experienced a slow down in the release of orders from the Government resulting in lower revenue.

The net loss from EOIR’s operations was $395,939 in the year ended June 30, 2007 compared with a net loss of $625,837 for the year ended June 30, 2006.

-14-


Net income (loss) applicable to common shareholders

The net loss attributable to common shareholders for the year ended June 30, 2007 was $4,786,696.

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.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Cash and Working Capital

On June 30, 2007, Technest had a negative working capital balance from continuing operations of $253,430. Net cash used in operating activities from continuing operations for the year ended June 30, 2007 was $2,032,613. Most of the cash used was attributable to a reduction in accounts payable and accruals of $1,498,136.

Net cash used in operating activities from discontinued operations for the year ended June 30, 2007 was $2,052,746.  A significant portion of the cash used was to reduce accounts payable and accruals in the amount of $4,845,048.

Cash Used in Investing Activities

In the year ended June 30, 2007, Technest used cash of $39,609 for the acquisition of property and equipment.

Cash Used in Financing Activities

In the year ended June 30, 2007, $6,086,499 was used for loan repayments, primarily related to the EOIR seller notes. This was replaced by net borrowings of $9,062,809.  Debt issuance costs and loan guarantee fees paid amounted to $1,073,325.
 
Sources of Liquidity

During the year ended June 30, 2007, we satisfied our operating and investing cash requirements primarily from financing activities and cash reserves. As discussed elsewhere, EOIR will be sold, subject to certain conditions, with $11 million being payable in cash to the Company on closing and a further $23 million payable contingent on the re-award of the NVESD contract. There are expected to be no further cash obligations relating to discontinued operations after the sale. Our current expectation is for the sale to close prior to December 31, 2007.  The initial proceeds will be used to extinguish debt from Silicon Valley Bank, Shelter Island and the former EOIR note holders. As of June 30, 2007, the face value of these loans was $9,785,616. The balance of the initial proceeds will be used for working capital.  The decision on the contingent payment is also expected during fiscal 2008. EOIR has won this contract three times in a row and management believes that the Company is well positioned to do so again although there can be no assurances that it will do so. The Company is also expanding its efforts in commercial sales and believes that these activities will contribute positively in fiscal 2008. 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.
 
Commitments and Contingencies
 
Facilities
 
Technest has a three-year lease for executive offices of approximately 2,000 square feet in Boston, Massachusetts, which expires December 31, 2009. The monthly rental amount for this facility is approximately $4,500. In May 2007 this facility was vacated and subleased.
 
Technest currently also leases offices with approximately 6,848 square feet in Bethesda, Maryland, pursuant to a five-year lease which expires March 31, 2011. Monthly lease amounts for this facility total approximately $14,263, increasing annually by 3%. Technest’s wholly owned subsidiary, Genex Technologies, Inc. had moved into this space on April 1, 2006. Genex had leased offices with approximately 6,831 square feet in Kensington, Maryland, pursuant to a five-year lease which expired on January 31, 2006, which we had been extending on a monthly basis. Monthly lease amounts for this facility totaled approximately $10,100.

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 September 21, 2007, 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.  A trial date for this claim had been set for July 10, 2007, which had to be unexpectedly rescheduled.  Technest has not been notified of a new trial date.

EOIR Technologies, Inc.

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.

-16-


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.

On March 21, 2007, EOIR and the Williams entered into a settlement agreement pursuant to which EOIR agreed to pay to the Williams $100,000 in 10 monthly installments of $10,000 each beginning on April 1, 2007 in exchange for the Williams to dismiss, with prejudice, their request for attorney’s fees against EOIR on Counts I and II of their motion for judgment and Count III as it pertained to EOIR.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
We have no 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, 2007, Technest had warrants outstanding for the purchase of 649,286 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 and Discontinued Operation
 
Our consolidated financial statements for the periods presented include the accounts of Technest, and our wholly-owned subsidiary, Genex Technologies, Inc. We have eliminated all significant inter-company balances and transactions.

In May 2007,  the Company’s Board of Directors approved a plan to divest the operations of our subsidiary, EOIR Technologies, Inc.  In accordance with SFAS No. 144, the assets, liabilities and results of operations of this subsidiary have been classified as a discontinued operation for all periods presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

 Concentrations
 
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 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.

Technest has cash balances in banks in excess of the maximum amount insured by the FDIC as of June 30, 2007.

Substantially all of Technest revenues are currently generated from individual customers within the Department of Defense and the National Institute for Health under Small Business Innovative Research contracts.

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.

-17-


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.
 
Impairment of Goodwill
 
In accordance with SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," we review goodwill 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 flow 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. 
 
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 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 Emerging Issues 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.
 
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, including amortizable intangible 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.

-18-


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, in accordance with EITF Issue No. 00-19, 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.
  
Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards

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 issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS 157 on the consolidated financial statements.

In September 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108 (“SAB 108”). SAB 108 considers the effects of prior year misstatements when quantifying misstatements in current year financial statements. It is effective for fiscal years ending after November 15, 2006. The adoption of SAB 108 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

On December 15, 2006 the Securities and Exchange Commission announced that it is has modified reporting requirements for smaller public companies under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX 404) of 2002. The Commission granted relief to smaller public companies by extending the date by which non-accelerated filers must start providing a report by management assessing the effectiveness of the company's internal control over financial reporting. The compliance date for these companies was moved from fiscal years ending on or after July 15, 2007, to fiscal years ending on or after December 15, 2007. The Commission also extended the date by which non-accelerated filers must begin to comply with the Section 404(b) requirement to provide an auditor's attestation report on internal control over financial reporting in their annual reports. This deadline was moved to the first annual report for a fiscal year ending on or after December 15, 2008. The extension requires all non-accelerated filers to complete only management's portion of the internal control requirements in their first year of compliance with SOX 404. This modification is intended to provide cost savings and efficiency opportunities to smaller public companies and to assist them as they prepare to comply fully with SOX 404 reporting requirements. The extension will provide these issuers and their auditors an additional year to consider, and adapt to, the changes in Auditing Standard No. 5 that the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board has issued, as well as the guidance for management the Commission has issued, to improve the efficiency of the Section 404(b) auditor attestation report process.
 
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”, including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (“SFAS 159”). This pronouncement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value and to recognize the resulting gains and losses in the results of operations. SFAS 159 is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS 159 on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, if any.

RISK FACTORS
 
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. 
 
Technest has a limited operating history on which a potential investor may base an evaluation of us, our prospects and our ability to operate profitably.  If Technest is unable to sustain profitable operations, investors may lose their entire investment in Technest.

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, 2007, our accumulated deficit was $20,224,635. 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.

Our ability to service our debt and meet our cash requirements depends on many factors, some of which are beyond our control.
 
Although there can be no assurances, we believe that the level of borrowings available to us, combined with cash provided by our operations, will be sufficient to provide for our cash requirements for the foreseeable future. However, our ability to satisfy our obligations will depend on our future operating performance and financial results, which will be subject, in part, to factors beyond our control, including interest rates and general economic, financial and business conditions. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flow to service our debt, we may be required to:

-21-


 
·
refinance all or a portion of our debt;
 
 
·
obtain additional financing;
 
 
·
sell some of our assets or operations;
 
 
·
reduce or delay capital expenditures and/or acquisitions; or
 
 
·
revise or delay our strategic plans.
 
If we are required to take any of these actions, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and liquidity. In addition, we cannot assure you that we would be able to take any of these actions, that these actions would enable us to continue to satisfy our capital requirements or that these actions would be permitted under the terms of our credit facilities.
 
The covenants in our term loan facility with Silicon Valley Bank and those in our debenture with Shelter Island Opportunity Fund, LLC impose restrictions that may limit our ability and the ability of our subsidiaries to take certain actions and our failure to comply with these covenants could result in an acceleration of our indebtedness.
 
The covenants in our term loan facility with Silicon Valley Bank restrict our ability and the ability of our subsidiaries to, among other things:
 
 
·
sell, transfer or lease certain parts of our business and property or that of our subsidiaries;
 
 
·
incur additional debt;
 
 
·
pay dividends and make other restricted payments and restricts our subsidiaries from doing the same;
 
 
·
make certain investments, loans and advances;
 
 
·
create or permit certain liens;
 
 
·
enter into transactions with affiliates;
 
 
·
engage in certain business activities; and
 
 
·
consolidate or merge or sell all or substantially all of our assets or those of our subsidiaries.
 
Our debenture with Shelter Island Opportunity Fund, LLC contains similar covenants.

Our term loan facility contains other covenants customary for credit facilities of this nature, including requiring us to meet specified financial ratios and financial tests. Our ability to borrow under our term loan facility will depend upon satisfaction of these covenants. Events beyond our control can affect our ability to meet those covenants.

If we are unable to meet the terms of our financial covenants, or if we violate any of these covenants, a default could occur under these agreements. A default, if not waived by our lenders, could result in the acceleration of our outstanding indebtedness and cause our debt to become immediately due and payable. If acceleration occurs, we would not be able to repay our debt, and it is unlikely that we would be able to borrow sufficient funds to refinance our debt. Even if new financing is made available to us, it may not be on terms acceptable to us.

-22-


Our credit facilities with Silicon Valley Bank are based on variable rates of interest, which could result in higher interest expenses in the event of an increase in interest rates.
 
The interest rate that we pay on our credit facilities with Silicon Valley Bank depend on the Bank’s prime rate. This increases our exposure to fluctuations in market interest rates. If the Bank’s prime rate rises, the interest rate on our credit facilities also may increase. Therefore, an increase in the Bank’s prime rate may increase our interest payment obligations and have a negative effect on our cash flow and financial position.

 
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.
 
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.

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.

-23-


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 and various INTEL; 
 
 
·
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 the Stock Purchase Agreement for the sale of EOIR
 
We will incur significant costs in connection with the sale of EOIR, whether or not we complete it.
 
We expect to incur significant costs related to the sale of EOIR.  These expenses include financial advisory, legal and accounting fees and expenses, severance and employee benefit related expenses, filing fees, printing expenses and other related charges. We may also incur additional unanticipated expenses in connection with the transaction.  A portion of the costs related to the sale, such as legal and accounting fees, will be incurred regardless of whether the transaction is completed.  These expenses will reduce the assets of Technest will have to operate its business after the sale.
 
Because our revenues depend heavily on EOIR, the sale of this subsidiary will have a negative impact on our operating results.
 
Virtually all of the Company’s revenues have been derived from EOIR’s contract with the United States Army Night Vision and Electronic Sensors Directorate.  EOIR contributed approximately $68,349,121 and $77,533,227 in revenues in fiscal 2007 and 2006, respectively.  Thus, the sale of EOIR will have an adverse effect on our revenues and cash flow from operations.
 
EOIR’s contract with the United States Army Night Vision And Electronic Sensors Directorate expires in January 2008. EOIR is in the “re-compete” process. If EOIR is not awarded a new contract, Technest will not receive the $23,000,000 contingent purchase price under the Stock Purchase Agreement.
 
The payment of $23,000,000 of the purchase price being paid for EOIR is payable only upon the award to EOIR of the follow-on NVESD contract.  Although the Stock Purchase Agreement requires the acquiror to operate EOIR in a commercially reasonable manner post-closing which includes applying adequate and appropriate resources commensurate with previous efforts by EOIR to win award of the NVESD, there is no guarantee that EOIR will be awarded the follow-on contract.  It is also unclear what impact, if any, the sale of EOIR to the acquiror will have on EOIR’s ability to win the follow-on contract.

-24-

 
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 EOIR’s ability to do the work or find subcontractors that can do the work; EOIR’s competitive pricing; EOIR’s reputation, the Government’s prior experience with EOIR’s work; EOIR’s 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 EOIR is not able to satisfy the Government’s requirements, it may not be awarded a new contract and Technest may not receive the contingent portion of the purchase price to be paid in the transaction.
 
The Stock Purchase Agreement limits Technest's ability to pursue alternatives to the sale.
 
The Stock Purchase Agreement contains provisions that make it more difficult for Technest to sell EOIR to a party other than the acquiror.  These provisions include the general prohibition on Technest soliciting any acquisition proposal or offer for a competing transaction, the requirement that Technest pay a termination fee of $1,450,000 if the Stock Purchase Agreement is terminated in specified circumstances and the requirement that Technest’s board of directors not withdraw or change its recommendation to the stockholders, except in certain specified circumstances.
 
These provisions might discourage a third party that might have an interest in acquiring EOIR from considering or proposing that acquisition, even if that party were prepared to pay consideration with a higher per share market price than the current proposed sale consideration. Furthermore, the termination fee may result in a potential competing acquiror proposing to pay a lower per share price to acquire EOIR than it might otherwise have proposed to pay. The payment of the termination fee could also have an adverse effect on Technest's financial condition.
 
Certain directors and executive officers of Technest have interests in the sale that may be different from, or in addition to, the interests of Technest stockholders.
 
           Some directors and executive officers of Technest have interests in the sale that may be different from, or in addition to, the interests of Technest stockholders. These interests include, among other things, payments in connection with employment agreements and the right to continued indemnification and insurance coverage by the Company for acts or omissions occurring prior to the sale. As a result of these interests, these directors and officers could be more likely to recommend a vote in favor of approval of the sale than if they did not hold these interests, and may have reasons for doing so that are not the same as the interests of other Technest stockholders.
 
Failure to complete the sale could negatively impact Technest's stock price and future business and operations.
 
If the sale is not completed for any reason, Technest may be subject to a number of material risks, including the following:
 
·    
Technest may be required to pay the acquiror a termination fee of up to $1,450,000;
·    
the price of Technest common stock may decline to the extent that the current market price of Technest common stock reflects an assumption that the sale will be completed; and
·    
Technest must pay its accrued costs related to the sale, such as legal and accounting fees, even if the sale is not completed.
 
Risks Related to EOIR Contracting with the United States Government

EOIR’s contract with the United States Army Night Vision and Electronic Sensors Directorate expires in January 2008. EOIR is in the “re-compete” process. If EOIR is not awarded a new contract, its revenues would decrease significantly and its financial condition, as well as ours, would be adversely affected.

EOIR has 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 $68 million in revenues for the year ended June 30, 2007 .This contract expires in January 2008 (with deliveries under the contract allowed until January 2009); it was recently extended for six months - the original contract was to expire in July 2007. 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 EOIR will be awarded a new contract, if EOIR is not awarded a new contract, its revenues would significantly decrease and its financial condition as well as ours could be adversely affected.

-25-


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 EOIR’s ability to do the work or find subcontractors that can do the work; EOIR’s competitive pricing; EOIR’s reputation, the Government’s prior experience with EOIR’s work; EOIR’s 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 EOIR is not able to satisfy the Government’s requirements, EOIR may not be awarded a new contract.

EOIR’s 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 EOIR’s contacts with these customers may be subject to cancellation with or without penalty, which may produce volatility in earnings and revenue.
 
EOIR’s 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 revenues because EOIR would not be reimbursed for any costs improperly allocated to a specific contract, and EOIR would be forced to refund any improper costs already reimbursed. If a government audit uncovers improper or illegal activities, EOIR 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, EOIR’s reputation could be harmed if allegations of impropriety were made against EOIR.

EOIR’s business could be adversely affected by changes in budgetary priorities of the Government.

Because EOIR derives a substantial majority of its revenue from contracts with the Government, we believe that the success and development of its business will continue to depend on its successful participation in Government contract programs. Changes in Government budgetary priorities could directly affect its financial performance. A significant decline in government expenditures, or a shift of expenditures away from programs that its 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 actual results to differ materially from those anticipated. Among the factors that could seriously affect EOIR’s 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.
 
-26-


EOIR’s 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, EOIR’s operating results may differ materially from those anticipated.
 
EOIR derives substantially all of its 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, EOIR’s 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.

EOIR’s Government contracts contain numerous provisions that are unfavorable to EOIR.
 
Government contracts, including EOIR’s, 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 EOIR;
 
 
·
 
suspend or debar EOIR from doing business with the Government or with a Government agency, impose fines and penalties and subject EOIR to criminal prosecution; and
 
 
·
 
control or prohibit the export of data and technology.
 
If the Government terminates any of EOIR’s contracts for convenience, EOIR may recover only its incurred or committed costs, settlement expenses and profit on work completed prior to the termination. If the Government terminates any of its contracts for default, EOIR 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 EOIR’s actual results to differ materially from those anticipated. EOIR’s Government contracts also contain organizational conflict of interest clauses that limit EOIR’s ability to compete for certain related follow-on contracts. For example, when EOIR works on the design of a particular system, EOIR may be precluded from competing for the contract to install that system. As EOIR grows its business, EOIR expects 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 EOIR’s participation in a program or contract could cause its actual results to differ materially from those anticipated.

EOIR’s business may suffer if EOIR or its employees are unable to obtain the security clearances or other qualifications it or they need to perform services for its clients.
 
Many of EOIR’s Government contracts require EOIR 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 EOIR or its employees lose or are unable to obtain necessary security clearances, EOIR may not be able to win new business and its existing clients could terminate their contracts with EOIR or decide not to renew them. To the extent EOIR cannot obtain or maintain the required security clearances for its employees working on a particular contract, EOIR may not derive the revenue anticipated from the contract, which could cause its results to differ materially from those anticipated.

-27-


EOIR’s contracts and administrative processes and systems are subject to audits and cost adjustments by the Government, which could reduce EOIR’s revenue, disrupt its business or otherwise adversely affect its 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 EOIR’s performance on contracts, pricing practices, cost structure and compliance with applicable laws, regulations and standards. They also review EOIR’s compliance with regulations and policies and the adequacy of its internal control systems and policies, including 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, EOIR may be subjected to increased government oversight and approval that could delay or otherwise adversely affect its 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, EOIR 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, EOIR could suffer serious reputational harm if allegations of impropriety were made against EOIR. Each of these results could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated.

Unfavorable government audit results could force EOIR to adjust previously reported operating results and could subject EOIR to a variety of penalties and sanctions.
 
The federal government audits and reviews EOIR’s performance on awards, pricing practices, cost structure, and compliance with applicable laws, regulations, and standards. Like most large government vendors, EOIR’s 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 EOIR has acquired or may acquire or subcontractors EOIR has hired or may hire, could result in a substantial adjustment in EOIR’s operating results for the applicable period. For example, any costs which were originally reimbursed could subsequently be disallowed. In this case, cash EOIR has already collected may need to be refunded and its operating margins may be reduced. To date, EOIR has not experienced any significant adverse consequences as a result of government audits.
 
If a government audit uncovers improper or illegal activities, EOIR 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 EOIR’s suspension or disbarment from contracting with the Government.
 
EOIR may be unable to prevent its employees from engaging in misconduct, fraud or other improper activities that could adversely affect its 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 EOIR develops involve managing and protecting information involved in national security and other sensitive functions. A security breach in one of these systems could prevent EOIR 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 EOIR takes to prevent and detect this activity may not be effective, and EOIR could face unknown risks or losses. As a result of employee misconduct, EOIR could face fines and penalties, loss of security clearance and suspension or debarment from contracting with the Government, which could cause EOIR’s actual results to differ materially from those anticipated.

If EOIR’s subcontractors or vendors fail to perform their contractual obligations, EOIR’s performance as a prime contractor and its ability to obtain future business could be materially and adversely impacted and its actual results could differ materially from those anticipated.
 
EOIR’s performance of Government contracts may involve the issuance of subcontracts or purchase orders to other companies upon which EOIR relies to perform all or a portion of the work EOIR is obligated to deliver to its clients. A failure by one or more of is 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 EOIR’s ability to perform its obligations as a prime contractor.

-28-


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

Some of  EOIR’s competitors are much larger than EOIR , have better name recognition and have far greater financial and other resources than EOIR . 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 EOIR 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.

Risks Related To “Controlled Companies”

A very small number of investors hold a controlling interest in our stock. As a result, the ability of minority shareholders to influence our affairs is extremely limited.
 
A very small number of investors collectively owned more than 50% of Technest’s outstanding common stock on a primary basis.  As a result, those investors have the ability to control all matters submitted to the stockholders of Technest for approval (including the election and removal of directors).  A significant change to the composition of our board could lead to a change in management and our 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.

Moreover, 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 these investors or any other party retains a controlling interest.

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 is currently spending 90% 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.

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 a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission; such registration statement went effective on February 7, 2007. In addition, we are obligated to register 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.   

-29-


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 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.

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:

(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.
 
-30-


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 September, 2007, 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.
 
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 Relating to New Corporate Governance Standards
 
We expect our administrative costs and expenses resulting from certain 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 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.
 
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.

-31-


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
Bethesda, Maryland


We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Technest Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2007, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows for the years ended June 30, 2007 and 2006. 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, 2007, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company’s board of Director’s approved a plan to divest the operations of its primary subsidiary, EOIR Technologies, Inc. (“EOIR”).  As a result, EOIR has been presented in these financial statements as a discontinued operation.

TECHNEST HOLDINGS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 2007 AND 2006
 

1.  NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Business

Technest Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries (“Technest” or “the Company”) are engaged in the design, research and development, integration, analysis, modeling, system networking, sales and support of intelligent surveillance, three-dimensional facial recognition and three-dimensional imaging devices and systems primarily in the security and healthcare industries. Historically, the Company’s largest customers have been the Department of Defense and the National Institute of Health.

Proposed Sale of EOIR Technologies, Inc.

On September 10, 2007, Technest and its wholly owned subsidiary, E-OIR Technologies, Inc. (“EOIR”), entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with EOIR Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ( “LLC”), pursuant to which Technest will sell EOIR to LLC (see Note 15).  LLC is an entity formed on August 9, 2007 by The White Oak Group, Inc., an Atlanta, Georgia based private investment firm, for the purposes of facilitating this transaction.  The White Oak Group, Inc. is a private investment firm focused on investments in the aerospace and defense industry, with an emphasis on the following sectors: Homeland security (detection and deterrence); avionics and instrumentation; command and control; and communication networks and services.

The sale of EOIR to LLC will be structured as a stock sale in which LLC will acquire all of the outstanding stock of EOIR in exchange for approximately $34 million in cash, $11 million of which will be paid at closing and $23 million of which will be paid upon the successful re-award to EOIR of the contract with the U.S. Army's Night Vision and Electronics Sensors Directorate.

EOIR is presented as a discontinued operation in the consolidated financial statements in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (see Note 3).

2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of  Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Technest and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Genex Technologies, Inc.  All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

In May 2007, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a plan to divest the operations of its subsidiary, EOIR Technologies, Inc.  In accordance with SFAS No. 144, the assets, liabilities and results of operations of this consolidated subsidiary have been classified as a discontinued operation for all periods presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements (see Note 3).

Reclassification

Certain amounts in the 2006 financial statements have been reclassified to conform with 2007 presentations (see Note 3).
 
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 and long-lived assets, useful lives of intangible assets, fair value of assets and liabilities presented as discontinued operation, the amount due to contracting government agencies as a result of their audits, the realizability of deferred tax assets and the fair value of derivative liability and equity instruments issued.

F-11


Concentrations and Risks

Technest has cash balances in banks in excess of the maximum amount insured by the FDIC as of June 30, 2007.

Substantially all of Technest’s revenues are currently generated from individual customers within the Department of Defense and the National Institute for Health under Small Business Innovative Research contracts.

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, 2007.

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.
 
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, 2007. If management determines amounts to be uncollectible, they will be charged to operations when that determination is made.

Unbilled receivables represent amounts earned related to allowable costs incurred under contracts but not billed. 

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
 
Property and equipment consisted of the following at June 30, 2007:
 
Software
  $
35,194
 
Computer equipment
   
24,665
 
Furniture and fixtures
   
111,285
 
     
171,144
 
Less accumulated depreciation
    (64,726 )
 
  $
106,418
 
 
Depreciation expense from continuing operations for the years ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 was $40,590 and $20,726, 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. 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. 

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.
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
The financial statements include various estimated fair value information, 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, accounts payable and the revolving line of credit approximate their recorded amounts because of their relatively short settlement terms.
 
Operating Segments
 
The Company operates in one Operating Segment as defined in paragraph 10 of SFAS No. 131, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information”. This is the business of research and development, design and fabrication of 3D imaging and of intelligent surveillance products.
 
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.
 
Shipping Costs

Delivery and shipping costs are included in contract revenue and direct costs in the accompanying statements of operations.

F-13


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.
 
Income Taxes
 
In accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” the Company allocates current and deferred taxes to its subsidiaries as if each were a separate tax payer.
 
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.

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).
 
Common stock equivalents, consisting of Series A and C Convertible Preferred Stock and warrants were not included in the calculation of the diluted loss per share in the year ended June 30, 2007 because their inclusion would have had the effect of decreasing the loss per share otherwise computed (see Note 9).

The following table sets forth the computation of the weighted-average number of shares used in calculating basic and diluted net income 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
 

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 unit is its operating segment 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 years ended June 30, 2007 and 2006.

F-14


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 years ended June 30, 2007 and 2006.
 
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, in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 00-19, 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.

Stock-Based Compensation
 
On July 1, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment”, which is a revision of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation”. There was no cumulative effect to the Company as a result of adopting this new accounting principle. Under SFAS No. 123(R), the Company now recognizes compensation costs resulting from the issuance of stock-based awards to employees and directors as an expense in the statement of operations over the service period based on a measurement of fair value for each stock award. As permitted under SFAS No. 123, prior to July 1, 2006, the Company accounted for its stock-based employee and director awards under the recognition and measurement principles of Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”, and related interpretation including Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Interpretation No. 44, "Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation", an interpretation of APB No. 25. Under this intrinsic value method, compensation expense represented the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of the Company’s common stock at the grant date over the exercise price.
 
SFAS No. 123(R) permits public companies to adopt one of two transition methods: a “modified prospective” approach or a “modified retrospective” approach. Under the modified prospective approach, compensation cost is recognized beginning with the effective date of SFAS 123(R) for all share-based payments granted after the effective date of SFAS No. 123(R) and for all awards granted to employees prior to the effective date of SFAS No. 123(R) that remain unvested on the effective date. The Company adopted the modified prospective approach.

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 for the year ended June 30, 2006.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
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 issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS 157 on the consolidated financial statements.

In September 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108 (“SAB 108”). SAB 108 considers the effects of prior year misstatements when quantifying misstatements in current year financial statements. It is effective for fiscal years ending after November 15, 2006. The adoption of SAB 108 did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
 
On December 15, 2006 the Securities and Exchange Commission announced that it is has modified reporting requirements for smaller public companies under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX 404) of 2002. The Commission granted relief to smaller public companies by extending the date by which non-accelerated filers must start providing a report by management assessing the effectiveness of the company's internal control over financial reporting. The compliance date for these companies was moved from fiscal years ending on or after July 15, 2007, to fiscal years ending on or after December 15, 2007. The Commission also extended the date by which non-accelerated filers must begin to comply with the Section 404(b) requirement to provide an auditor's attestation report on internal control over financial reporting in their annual reports. This deadline was moved to the first annual report for a fiscal year ending on or after December 15, 2008. The extension requires all non-accelerated filers to complete only management's portion of the internal control requirements in their first year of compliance with SOX 404. This modification is intended to provide cost savings and efficiency opportunities to smaller public companies and to assist them as they prepare to comply fully with SOX 404 reporting requirements. The extension will provide these issuers and their auditors an additional year to consider, and adapt to, the changes in Auditing Standard No. 5 that the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board has issued, as well as the guidance for management the Commission has issued, to improve the efficiency of the Section 404(b) auditor attestation report process.
 
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”, including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (“SFAS 159”). This pronouncement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value and to recognize the resulting gains and losses in the results of operations. SFAS 159 is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS 159 on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, if any.

3.  DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

In May 2007, in order to realize the value of E-OIR Technologies, Inc. for the benefit of shareholders, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a plan to divest the operations of EOIR.  On September 10, 2007, Technest Holdings, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, E-OIR Technologies, Inc. entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with EOIR Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“LLC”), pursuant to which Technest will sell EOIR to LLC.  LLC is an entity formed on August 9, 2007 by The White Oak Group, Inc., an Atlanta, Georgia based private investment firm, for the purposes of facilitating this transaction.   The Company expects the sale of EOIR to close by December 31, 2007.

The sale of EOIR to LLC will be structured as a stock sale in which LLC will acquire all of the outstanding stock of EOIR in exchange for approximately $34 million in cash, $11 million of which will be paid at closing and $23 million of which will be paid upon the successful re-award to EOIR of the contract with the U.S. Army's Night Vision and Electronics Sensors Directorate.  The Company expects a decision on this re-award within fiscal 2008.

In accordance with SFAS No. 144, paragraph 30, the Company determined that in May 2007, EOIR represented a disposal group that should be presented in the financial statements as held for sale.  As a result, the assets and liabilities of EOIR have been presented separately as a discontinued operation in the consolidated Balance Sheet at June 30, 2007.  The net assets of EOIR have been measured at the lower of their carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.  As of June 30, 2007, there was no write-down of EOIRs carrying value.  EOIR’s goodwill has been accounted for under SFAS No. 142 (see Note 2).

The major classes of assets and liabilities associated with discontinued operations were:

Assets related to discontinued operations:
     
Cash
  $
1,028,539

All of the assets and liabilities of EOIR have been classified in the Balance Sheet as current since the proposed sale is expected to close and proceeds received within one year.

F-17


For the years ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, the operations of EOIR have been reported in discontinued operations in the Statements of Operations in accordance with SFAS No. 144, paragraph 42. Revenues and net loss from discontinued operations were as follows:

   
June 30, 2007
   
June 30, 2006
 
             
Revenues from discontinued operations
  $
68,349,121
    $
77,533,227
 
Net (loss) from discontinued operations
  $ (395,939 )   $ (625,837 )

After the closing of the EOIR sale, the Company does not expect any additional cash flows related to EOIR.  Certain general and administrative expenses of the Company that are clearly associated with EOIR totaling approximately $726,000 and $300,000 in the years ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, have been included in the net loss from discontinued operations.

The following information relates to specific assets and liabilities included in the disposal group.

Definite-lived Intangible Assets

Definite-lived intangible assets consist of the following at June 30, 2006:
 
 
 
Amount
   
Useful life (years)
 
Customer relationships and contracts - EOIR- Sensor Technologies
   
11,755,000

13,306,944
         
Accumulated amortization
    (4,300,312 )        
Net definite-lived intangible asset
  $
9,006,632
         

 
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, included in net loss from discontinued operations, was $1,261,305 and $1,461,306 for the years ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

In May 2007, the Company ceased amortizing the definite-lived intangible assets and other long-lived assets.

Long-Term Debt and Revolving Line of Credit

It is a condition of the covenants of the EOIR Stock Purchase Agreement that the following loans be paid in full upon the sale of EOIR.  The following loans have therefore been included as current liabilities related to discontinued operations.   The related interest expense has been included in the net loss from discontinued operations.

Note payable – Shelter Island

On June 1, 2007, Technest Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) closed on a financing pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement dated May 31, 2007 with Shelter Island Opportunity Fund, LLP (“Shelter Island”). Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company issued to Shelter Island a Secured Original Issue Discount Debenture bearing interest at the rate of 11.25% (or Prime plus 3%) with an aggregate principal amount of $1,650,000 (the “Debenture”) for a subscription amount of $1,500,000. The Debenture is due on May 31, 2010, unless otherwise accelerated by its terms.  The outstanding principal amount and all accrued interest thereon will be payable in 33 equal monthly installments commencing on August 31, 2007. On the maturity date of the Debenture, the Company also agreed to pay, as a termination fee (and not as a penalty), an amount equal to the product of (i) $45,000 and (ii) the number of months that have elapsed between May 31, 2007 and the date such payment is made by the Company to Shelter Island.

F-18


The Debenture is secured by (i) the assets of the Company, including its securities in its wholly-owned subsidiaries, (ii) all rights of Markland Technologies, Inc. (“Markland”) in and to the License Agreement dated March 31, 2006 between the Company and Markland, and (iii) the assets of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Genex Technologies Inc. (“Genex”).  Other than the security interest from Markland, Shelter Island’s security interests are subordinated to the interests of Silicon Valley Bank pursuant to a Subordination Agreement entered into between Shelter Island and Silicon Valley Bank. The Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, Genex and EOIR, guaranteed the Debenture.

At June 30, 2007, the face value of the notes and unamortized discount was $1,650,000 and $145,833, respectively. During the year ended June 30, 2007, the Company amortized $4,167 to non-cash interest expense. As the Securities Purchase Agreement was closed on June 1, 2007, there was no material interest expense for the year ended June 30, 2007.

Bank loan

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”). 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”). 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, as defined. 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.  The Company 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. The Registration Rights Agreement does not include any liquidated damage provisions.

As consideration for the subordination of the security interest to the Bank and in connection with the closing of the Financing on August 10, 2006, 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 $344,238, of which our current Chief Executive Officer and one of the Company’s directors, Joseph P. Mackin, received 23,913 shares. The shares vest 18 months from the date of grant.  The value of these shares was recorded as deferred financing costs and is classified as assets related to discontinued operations due to the repayment of the financing upon the sale of EOIR.
 
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. At June 30, 2007, the outstanding balance was $2,166,667 on the Term Loan and $4,562,809 on 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%. Each loan under the Term Loan is repayable in 36 equal monthly principal installments (currently $83,333) plus accrued interest.
 
The Bank’s prime rate as of June 30, 2007 was 8.25%.  Interest expense on these loans for the years ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, was $614,505 and $5,527, respectively.

The Revolver bears 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 pays a monthly collateral handling fee of 0.10% per month on financed receivables. Interest and handling fees are paid as invoices are collected.

As of June 30, 2007, the Company had the following covenants with the Bank.

1.
Term Loan - Priced at Prime plus 3.50%; Beginning with month ending May 31, 2007 and thereafter pricing to be as follows:
 
Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio
Pricing

2.
Revolver priced at Prime plus 1.00% and a collateral handling fee of 0.25% per month; reduces to the existing Interest Rate structure, per the first loan modification dated February 14, 2007, upon compliance with all financial covenants beginning May 31, 2007 and thereafter.
 
   * If the Company achieves a three-month trailing FCCR of 1.25x or greater, for the period ending May 31, 2007, then pricing will be reduced to Prime + 2.75%
 
 
Minimum Monthly EBITDA:
·  One month ending February 28, 2007 a minimum EBITDA of $1.00
·  One month ending March 31, 2007 a minimum EBITDA of $65,000

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 certain 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 Unconditional Guaranty and the Stock Pledge Agreement terminate August 3, 2008 if no event of default has occurred. In consideration for this Unconditional Guarantee and Stock Pledge Agreement, Technest paid Markland $580,372. This amount has been recorded as a debt issuance cost and will be amortized over the life of the Term Loan of 36 months. The Company incurred additional debt issuance costs of approximately $141,667.

EOIR Seller 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 is amortized to interest expense over the life of the note.

F-20


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, the remain outstanding notes had a total principal balance of $1,655,885. The security interest securing these remaining notes was subordinated to the Bank’s first priority security interest.

At June 30, 2007, the face value of the EOIR Seller Notes and unamortized discount was $1,406,132 and $153,458, respectively. During the year ended June 30, 2007, the Company amortized $727,315 to non-cash interest expense. Interest expense related to the EOIR Seller Notes for the years ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, was $134,364 and $533,205, respectively.
 
4.  ACQUISITION
 
On August 17, 2005, pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement with Markland Technologies, Inc., 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. 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 restated its financial statements to include EOIR from this date. Markland acquired EOIR on June 29, 2004.  EOIR generated approximately 97% of Markland’s revenue for its fiscal year ended June 30, 2005.
 
5.  DEFINITE-LIVED INTANGIBLE ASSETS
 
Definite-lived intangible assets consist of the following at June 30, 2007:
 
 
 
Amount
   
Useful life (years)
 
Patents - commercialized technology

Accumulated amortization
    (771,259 )        
Net definite-lived intangible asset
  $
959,851
         
 
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 $324,741 and $324,831 for the years ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Future amortization expense related to the definite-lived intangible asset over the next five years is $324,741 for each of the years ended June 30, 2008 and 2009, $206,991 for the year ended June 30, 2010 and $10,741 for each of the years ended June 30, 2011 and 2012.
 
6.  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, in accordance with EITF Issue No. 00-19, 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.

F-21


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 a result, in the year ended June 30, 2006, changes in the fair value of the warrant liability recorded as derivative income in the consolidated statement of operations was $25,046,489.
 
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 fair value of the warrants on that date, $1,917,127, was reclassified from derivative liabilities to additional paid-in capital.
 
7.  STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
 
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.
 
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, 2007 and 2006, there were 64.631 shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued and outstanding.

Series B and C Convertible Preferred Stock
 
The Series B Preferred Stock is 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 ranks 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 currently $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 ranks pari passu with the Company's Series A and B Preferred Stock.
 
Technest 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 (a) 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 6).

F-22


 
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 Stock held by Markland was cancelled.

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

At June 30, 2007, the Company had -0- shares of Series B Preferred Stock and 632,185 shares of Series C Preferred Stock issued and outstanding. 

In conjunction with its Series B and C Convertible Preferred Stock financing, the Company has obligations under registration rights agreements. In the year ended June 30, 2006, the Company incurred liquidated damages of $2,329,466 which was charged to non-cash 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.
 
In the year ended June 30, 2007, the Company incurred liquidated damages related to these registration rights of $1,726,426 which was charged to non-cash interest expense and settled by the issuance of 850,761 shares of Technest common stock. On February 7, 2007, the required registration statement became effective and, as a result, the Company does not expect to incur any additional liquidated damages.

Common Stock Issuances
 
On August 17, 2005, pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement with Markland Technologies, Inc., 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 ended June 30, 2007, the Company issued the following amounts of common stock:
 
·
850,761 shares of Technest common stock with a fair value of $1,726,426 in settlement of liquidated damages for failure to have an effective registration statement which has been recorded as non-cash interest expense.
 
·
99,779 shares of Technest common stock with a fair value of $344,238 to certain employees of EOIR that hold the remaining outstanding seller notes in consideration for subordination of their security interest in the assets of the Company to Silicon Valley Bank in connection with the bank financing (see Note 3). This issuance includes 23,913 shares of common stock issued to the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Joseph Mackin.
 
·
60,000 shares of Technest common stock between Darlene Deptula-Hicks, Robert Doto and David Gust, our non-employee directors, as compensation for their election and service on the Company’s board of directors beginning in March 2006. These shares are subject to forfeiture in the event that the grantee is not providing services to Technest as a director on April 1, 2007. The fair value of these shares was $306,000 and was recognized as expense over the requisite service period.


F-23


On January 19, 2006, the Board of Directors of Technest adopted a resolution preventing the Company from designating, authorizing or issuing any series of preferred stock, or any other security, instrument or contract, convertible or exercisable, either directly or indirectly into shares of common stock, unless the maximum number of shares of common stock potentially issuable upon such conversion can be determined at the time of designation, authorization, or issuance.
 
The Company has established the following reserves for the future issuance of common stock as follows:
 
Reserve for the exercise of warrants
 
 
649,286
 
Reserve for conversion of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock
 
 
306,047
 
Reserve for conversion of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock
 
 
632,185
 
Total common stock reserves
 
 
1,587,518
 

 
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, WARRANTS AND STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
 
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 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 years ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 and there are currently no options outstanding under the Plan.

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.
 
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 over-billed to its customers.
 
In the quarter ended December 31, 2006, the Government completed its audit and concluded that $194,221 is due to be refunded to the Government. This amount was paid in May 2007.
 
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.

As of June 30, 2007, the outstanding principal amount on Dr. Mackin’s note is $608,957. In the event that the executive’s employment with Technest is terminated for any other reason, there will be no continuation of cash salary payments or health insurance or acceleration of debt payment.

F-28


Pursuant to the terms of the Stockholder Agreement, Technest is 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;

Technest also granted Markland certain registration rights pursuant to which Technest is obligated to use its best efforts to register all or a portion of those shares of its 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. There are no liquidated damages provisions associated with these registration rights.

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

License Agreement with Markland Technologies, Inc.

On March 13, 2006, Technest entered into a license agreement with Markland (the “License Agreement”). Pursuant to the License Agreement, Technest granted Markland an exclusive, world-wide license to make, use and sell products and services based on its 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 its 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 a royalty of 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.

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.

F-29


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.

On August 31, 2007, certain provisions of the Stockholder Agreement and the entire License Agreement were terminated (see Note 15).

11.  INCOME TAXES
 
There was no provision for federal income taxes for the years ended June 30, 2007 and June 30, 2006 due to the Company's operating losses and a full valuation reserve on deferred tax assets.
  
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, 2007, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes of approximately $12,000,000, including those related to EOIR, 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:

2006
 
Tax provision (benefit) at statutory rate

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, 2007 and June 30, 2006 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 years ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, the valuation allowance increased by $1,064,000 and $44,000 respectively.  If the proposed sale of EOIR closes, the Company will not recognize the net operating losses or deferred tax assets related to EOIR.

12.  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
 
During the year ended June 30, 2007, Markland invoiced EOIR $1,497,436 for administrative support services, engineering services and product manufacturing rendered by Markland. During the year ended June 30, 2007, EOIR paid Markland $1,385,792 in conjunction with the intercompany transactions described above. During the year ended June 30, 2006 the Company recorded as selling, general and administrative expense a management fee of $1,000,000 to Markland for administrative support services, engineering services and services rendered by executive officers of Markland who also functioned as executive officers of the Company (see Note 10). During the year ended June 30, 2006, EOIR made payments to Markland of approximately $2,350,000 in conjunction with the intercompany transactions described above.

F-30


At June 30, 2007, Technest has an amount due from Markland of $2,604.  Included in the liabilities related to discontinued operations is $292,640 due to Markland.
 
As consideration for the subordination of the security interest to the Bank and in connection with the closing of the Financing on August 10, 2006, 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 $344,238, of which our current Chief Executive Officer and one of the Company’s directors, Joseph P. Mackin, received 23,913 shares. These were recorded as deferred financing costs and are classified as assets related to discontinued operations due to the repayment of the financing upon the sale of EOIR (see Note 3).
 
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. In consideration for this guarantee and stock pledge, Technest paid Markland $580,372. This was recorded as a deferred financing cost and is classified as assets related to discontinued operations due to the repayment of the Financing upon the sale of EOIR (see Note 3 and 15).

13.  EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
 
Genex maintains a Simplified Employee Pension (the SEP Plan) for all employees who have attained the age of 21 and have completed three years of service. Participants may make voluntary contributions up to the maximum amount allowed by law, but not to exceed 15% of each participant’s eligible compensation. The combined totals of participant and Genex contributions may not exceed $30,000 by law. Genex contributions vest immediately to the participants.

Genex also maintains a defined contribution 401(k) profit sharing plan (the “401(k) Plan”) for all employees except those who are non-resident aliens or are covered by a collective bargaining agreement.  Participants may make voluntary contributions up to the maximum amount allowable by law but not to exceed 20% of the participant's eligible compensation.  Genex contributions to the 401(k) Plan are at the discretion of management and vest to the participants ratably over a five-year period, beginning with the second year of participation.
 
Technest has adopted a 401(k) plan for the benefit of employees. Essentially all Technest employees are eligible to participate. The Company also contributes to the plan under a safe harbor plan requiring a 3% contribution for all eligible participants. In addition, the Company may contribute a 3% elective match. The Company contributes 6%, excluding bonuses on an annual basis, to those who have been employed by Technest for more than one year and remain employed on the last day of the fiscal year.
 
Contributions and other costs of these plans in the year ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 were $113,840 and $61,051, respectively.

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-31


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 September 21, 2007, 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.  A trial date for this claim had been set for July 10, 2007, which had to be unexpectedly rescheduled.  Technest has not been notified of a new trial date.

EOIR Technologies, Inc.

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.

On March 21, 2007, EOIR and the Williams entered into a settlement agreement pursuant to which EOIR agreed to pay to the Williams $100,000 in 10 monthly installments of $10,000 each beginning on April 1, 2007 in exchange for the Williams to dismiss, with prejudice, their request for attorney’s fees against EOIR on Counts I and II of their motion for judgment and Count III as it pertained to EOIR.  The remaining balance of $60,000 is included in liabilities related to discontinued operations at June 30, 2007.

15SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
 
Proposed Sale of EOIR Technologies, Inc.

On September 10, 2007, Technest and its wholly owned subsidiary, E-OIR Technologies, Inc. (“EOIR”), entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with EOIR Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ( “LLC”), pursuant to which Technest will sell EOIR to LLC.  LLC is an entity formed on August 9, 2007 by The White Oak Group, Inc., an Atlanta, Georgia based private investment firm, for the purposes of facilitating this transaction.  The White Oak Group, Inc. is a private investment firm focused on investments in the aerospace and defense industry, with an emphasis on the following sectors: Homeland security (detection and deterrence); avionics and instrumentation; command and control; and communication networks and services.

The sale of EOIR to LLC will be structured as a stock sale in which LLC will acquire all of the outstanding stock of EOIR in exchange for approximately $34 million in cash, $11 million of which will be paid at closing and $23 million of which will be paid upon the successful re-award to EOIR of the contract with the U.S. Army's Night Vision and Electronics Sensors Directorate. As a condition of the sale, the proceeds will be used to extinguish debt from Silicon Valley Bank, Shelter Island and the former EOIR note holders. As of June 30, 2007, the face value of these loans was $9,785,616.

Summary of the Transaction

Pursuant to the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, at the closing, LLC will acquire all of the outstanding common stock of EOIR from Technest and LLC will pay Technest $11 million in cash.  The initial cash payment due at closing will be subject to adjustment (up or down) depending on EOIR’s net working capital on the closing date.  In addition to the initial cash payment, LLC has agreed to pay Technest an additional contingent payment of $23 million if, on or prior to December 31, 2009, EOIR is awarded the follow-on of EOIR’s current contract with the U.S. Army's Night Vision and Electronics Sensors Directorate.

Technest and LLC have agreed to deposit $200,000 of the initial purchase price payment and $2.3 million of the contingent purchase price payment (if any) in an escrow account to secure indemnification obligations of Technest under the Stock Purchase Agreement.

The transaction has been approved unanimously by the board of directors of Technest and EOIR. The board of directors of Technest was advised by Rodman & Renshaw, LLC who acted as a financial advisor to Technest and provided a fairness opinion to the Technest board as to the fairness of the consideration to be received by Technest.

Conditions to Completion of the Transaction

Technest and LLC will complete the transaction when all of the conditions to closing are satisfied or waived, including among other things, approval of the transaction by the stockholders of Technest.  In addition, as a condition to closing, LLC, which is in the process of applying for a small business investment company license under the Small Business Investment Company Act of 1958, must obtain the approval of the transaction as a “pre-license investment” from the Small Business Administration.

In connection with the Stock Purchase Agreement, certain stockholders of Technest representing approximately 42% of Technest’s outstanding Common Stock, entered into Voting Agreements, pursuant to which such stockholders agreed to vote their Technest shares in favor of the proposed transaction.

Termination of Certain Sections of Stockholder Agreement and of License Agreement.

On August 31, 2007, Technest Holdings, Inc. entered into a Release Agreement with Southridge Partners, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“Southridge”), a current stockholder of the Company, pursuant to which the parties agreed, among other things, to the following:

·
Technest and Markland Technologies, Inc. (“Markland”) were parties to a Stockholder Agreement, dated March 13, 2006 (the “Stockholder Agreement”), and a License Agreement dated March 13, 2006 (the “License Agreement”).  Pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption Agreement dated as of August 30, 2007 between Markland and Southridge, Markland assigned all of its rights in the Stockholder Agreement and the License Agreement to Southridge. As part of the Release Agreement, Southridge and Technest agreed to (a) terminate the obligations set forth in Section 1 of the Stockholder Agreement that restrict the ability of Technest to issue equity securities, convertible debt or derivative securities, (b) terminate the obligations set forth in Section 5 of the Stockholder Agreement relating to a right of co-sale and (c) terminate the License Agreement in its entirety.  All rights, title and interest in the intellectual property that was subject to the License Agreement reverts back to Technest and its subsidiaries.

·
Voting Agreement. Southridge agreed that it will vote all shares of Technest Common Stock owned by it and to cause its Affiliates that own shares of Technest Common Stock or Technest Preferred Stock to vote all of their shares, in favor of certain transactions entered into by September 10, 2007 that are approved and recommended by a majority of the directors of Technest under certain conditions.

·
Board Representation. The Board of Directors of Technest agreed to increase the size of the board from five to six and fix the number of directors of Technest at six and to elect two reasonably qualified individuals representing Southridge to fill the newly created directorships in accordance with Technest’s Bylaws.

·
Other Terms.  Until March 31, 2008 or upon the satisfaction of certain conditions, whichever is earlier, Technest agreed that it would refrain from (a) issuing any shares of its Common Stock or securities convertible into its Common Stock, other than (i) shares to be issued in certain permissible offerings; (ii) certain shares already awarded under Technest’s 2006 Stock Award Plan, and (iii) 250,000 shares to be issued under the 2006 Stock Award Plan; (b) entering into any transaction with its officers, directors, stockholders or any of their Affiliates, except for transactions that are in the ordinary course of Technest’s business, upon fair and reasonable terms that are no less favorable to Technest than would be obtained in an arm’s length transaction with a non-Affiliated person or entity.

·
Consideration.  As consideration for the Release Agreement, Technest agreed to issue Southridge 3,000,000 shares of Technest Common Stock, $0.001 par value per share, with a value of $1,380,000.

Other Matters

On August 15, 2007, the Company issued 152,000 shares of its Common Stock to three executives of Technest pursuant to employment agreements.

On August 9, 2007, Darlene Deptula-Hicks resigned as a director of Technest Holdings, Inc. for personal reasons.  Ms. Deptula-Hicks served as the chairman of the Company’s audit committee.  Until such time as another independent director, who also qualifies as a financial expert, is elected to Board of Directors, the audit committee has been disbanded.
 
On September 12, 2007, the Silicon Valley Bank Revolver was extended until February 3, 2008.

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, 2007 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.
