PART III — NARRATIVE
State below in reasonable detail why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-SAR, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.
WidePoint Corporation (the “Company,” "WidePoint," "we" or "our") has determined that it is unable to file, without unreasonable effort or expense, its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 (the “2024 Form 10-K”) by the prescribed due date of March 31, 2025, as explained below.
The Company is continuing to evaluate its accounting with respect to revenue recognition associated with the reselling of third-party software and related items. The outcome of this evaluation will not impact cash for previously reported periods. The Company needs additional time to complete its assessment, which assessment must be completed prior to the filing of the 2024 Form 10-K.
In connection with the foregoing matters, the Company is continuing to assess the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting. The Company expects to conclude that it did not maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024. The Company is continuing to evaluate appropriate remediation steps related to these matters, including with respect to a material weakness.

Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Statements
This Notification of Late Filing on Form 12b-25 ("Form 12b-25") contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Statements in this filing which are not strictly historical statements constitute forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, statements regarding the Company's preliminary financial statement information for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 and the expected timing of the filing of the 2024 Form 10-K, may be identified by words like “believe,” “expect,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “seek,” “anticipate,” or “could” and similar expressions.
Forward-looking statements are neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance. Instead, they are based only on management's expectations. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict and many of which are outside of our control. Our actual results may differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements. Therefore, you should not rely on any of these forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements include, among others, the following:
|
| · | potential errors made in calculating the preliminary financial statement information for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024; |
|
| · | adjustments that may arise in connection with the year-end financial close process or our independent registered public accounting firm's audit of our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024; |
|
| · | further delay in the year-end financial close process or the related audit; and |
|
| · | such other factors as discussed throughout the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in WidePoint’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, as well as other documents WidePoint files with the Securities and Exchange Commission. |
The forward-looking statements made by us in this Form 12b-25 are based only on information currently available to us and speak only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.
