| 3. | Business Combinations
Soft-ex Communications Ltd. On May 1, 2014, WidePoint Global Solutions, Inc. (“WGS”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company entered into a Share Sale and Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”), with Gutteridge Limited (“Gutteridge”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Soft-Ex Holdings Limited (“SHL”), and the shareholders of Soft-Ex Holdings Limited, pursuant to which WGS purchased all of the outstanding equity of Soft-ex Communications Limited (“SCL”). As a result of this transaction, SCL became a wholly-owned subsidiary of WidePoint. WidePoint acquired all of the outstanding equity of SCL for $6.0 million. The purchase price for the outstanding equity of SCL consisted of (i) the payment at closing of cash in the amount of $5 million, subject to a post-closing net working capital adjustment, and (ii) the delivery of a contingent subordinated unsecured loan note in the principal amount of $1.0 million (the “Note”). WidePoint’s long term strategic objective of expanding its services and presence outside of the United States was launched with the acquisition of SCL. SCL is a leading supplier of telecom data intelligence services offered as a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solution that provides unique online data intelligence for Communication Service Providers (CSPs) and their enterprise customers for fixed, mobile, and IP/PABX communications. The addition of SCL complements the Company’s MMS offering and provides access to global CSPs and their customers and partners in over 90 countries throughout European and Middle Eastern markets. SCL’s principal executive and administrative office headquarters is in Dublin, Ireland. SCL has two operating subsidiaries, Soft-Ex BV and Soft-Ex UK Limited, which maintain offices and operations in the Netherlands and the United Kingdom, respectively. SCL has been in business since 1989. The Company utilized the assistance of a third party valuation expert to estimate the fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed and the related allocations of purchase consideration. The excess of purchase price over the net tangible and intangible assets has been recorded as goodwill. Purchase Consideration The following table sets forth the provisional fair value of consideration paid in connection with acquisition of SCL as of May 1, 2014:
|  |  | Fair Value |
Cash consideration |  | $ | 5,000,000 | (1)
Contingent subordinated unsecured loan note payable consideration |  |  | 1,000,000 | (2)
Net working capital escrow adjustment to consideration paid |  |  | (33,188) | (3)
Fair value of consideration paid |  | $ | 5,966,812 |
(1) The Company used operating cash on hand of $5.0 million, of which $4.35 million was released to the seller upon closing of the transaction and the remainder was delivered into escrow. Under the terms of the escrow agreement, the funds shall be released (subject to satisfaction of the terms of the escrow agreement) in two amounts with the first release of $0.15 million on or about May 1, 2015 and the second release of $0.5 million on or about August 1, 2015. The release of funds held in escrow is subject to adjustment based on final net working capital as described in (3) below. (2) The Company issued a subordinated unsecured loan Note in the principal amount of $1.0 million to satisfy the remainder of the purchase price. This is a US dollar denominated obligation. The likelihood of the loan Note being settled at an amount less than the face value is considered remote based on revenue performance achieved through the end of the current fiscal year. The Note accrues interest at the annual rate of 3% and provides for a lump sum payment of principal and interest on May 31, 2015; provided however that in the event that SCL fails to generate gross revenue for the three (3) months ending April 30, 2015 that is at least equal to 75% of the gross revenue generated by SCL for the three (3) months immediately preceding the acquisition of SCL, then the full face value of the Note shall be abrogated and all obligations of WGS under the Note shall be cancelled and waived. (3) On October 21, 2014, a final determination of net working capital resulted in a deficiency of €26,670 ($33,188 USD) reduced total purchase consideration. Transaction Costs The Company incurred acquisition related due diligence, legal and accounting and transaction costs (including Irish stamp taxes and other processing costs) in connection with acquisition of SCL of approximately $250,300. These transaction-related costs were expensed as incurred and reflected in general and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of operations for the periods presented. Fair Value of Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed The following table summarizes the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in connection with acquisition of SCL as of May 1, 2014:

Employment Agreements In connection with acquisition of SCL, the Company entered into an employment agreement Ian Sparling, the Chief Executive Officer of SCL (the “Employment Agreement”), for Mr. Sparling to continue to serve as the Chief Executive Officer of SCL. The Employment Agreement provides for an annual base salary of €175,000 ($241,500). In addition, Mr. Sparling shall be eligible to receive bonus compensation of up to 50% of his annual salary. Mr. Sparling will also receive an annual automobile allowance in the amount €16,500 ($22,800) and SCL will contribute up to €15,000 ($20,700) to SCL's pension plan. As of December 31, 2014, Mr. Sparling continued to be employed by the Company. Supplemental Unaudited Pro Forma Information The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information were prepared in accordance with the acquisition method of accounting. The pro forma adjustments presented herein are preliminary, and do not reflect estimated amortization resulting from intangible assets, and may not reflect any final purchase price adjustments made. As the final fair value calculations are being prepared, increases or decreases in the fair value of relevant balance sheet amounts will result in adjustments, which may result in material differences from the information presented herein. The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations of WidePoint for each of the three years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 have been prepared as if the acquisition of SCL had occurred at January 1, 2012 (unaudited):
|  | DECEMBER 31, |
|  | 2014 |  | 2013 |  | 2012 |
|  | (a) |  | (a) |  | (a) |
|  | (Unaudited) |
Revenues, net |  | $ | 55,255,000 |  | $ | 52,570,000 |  | $ | 62,007,000 |
Net (loss) income |  | $ | (8,822,000) |  | $ | (1,160,000) |  | $ | 2,018,000 | (b)
Basic (loss) earnings per share |  | $ | (0.121) |  | $ | (0.018) |  | $ | 0.032 |
Diluted (loss) earnings per share |  | $ | (0.121) |  | $ | (0.018) |  | $ | 0.032 |
(a) To reflect on a pro forma basis unaudited consolidated financial information for the three years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 for WidePoint. SCL’s most recently completed fiscal year end was April 30, 2014 which differs from WidePoint’s December 31 year end. Subsequent to the acquisition SCL changed its fiscal year end to December 31st. The unaudited financial information presented herein were derived from historical internally prepared financial statements for SCL and WidePoint’s Form 10-K audited financial statements. SCL’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with Irish GAAP, as such additional adjustments were made to convert SCL Irish GAAP presentation to a US GAAP presentation to align with WidePoint’s accounting policies. SCL’s reporting currency unit is the Euro. SCL’s US GAAP unaudited historical statement of operations for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 were translated into WidePoint’s reporting currency using an average USD/EURO rate of $1.3293, $1.3279, and $1.2856, respectively. (b) As more fully described above under “purchase consideration”, in conjunction with the share sale and purchase agreement with SCL, WidePoint issued a subordinated unsecured loan Note in the principal amount of $1.0 million. Pro forma interest expense was calculated for this Note under the assumption that the probability of failing to generate adequate gross revenues is considered remote at this time based on projection available at the time of the transaction. Pro forma interest expense adjustments included for the year ended December 31, 2012 was approximately $30,000 to reflect total interest paid over the 1 year subordinated unsecured loan note. Avalon Global Solutions, Inc. On December 30, 2011, the Company together with its wholly-owned subsidiary, WidePoint Solutions Corp. (WSC), entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (“APA”) with Avalon Global Solutions (AGS), pursuant to which WSC acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of AGS. Total purchase consideration paid was approximately $11.5 million, consisting of $3.5 million in cash, $4.0 million in bank loan proceeds, $1.0 million subordinated seller promissory note and a contingent subordinated seller promissory note (“contingent consideration”) with a fair value of $3.0 million as of the acquisition date. In 2012, the Company finalized it fair value accounting and determined the estimated fair value of contingent consideration to be approximately $2.15 million, which revised purchase consideration from $11.5 million to $10.7 million and thereby reduced goodwill in connection with this business combination by approximately $850,000. In 2013, the Company remeasured the fair value of contingent consideration at zero, which revised purchase consideration from $10.7 million to $8.5 million. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company recognized a non-cash contingent gain on change in fair value of approximately $1,250,000 and reflected in general and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2013. See Note 4 for changes in fair value of assets and liabilities recorded in connection with material business combinations that are measured on a recurring basis. The Company did not consummate any business combinations during the year ended December 31, 2013.
