About Webb Interactive Services, Inc.

 

Our sole business is the ownership of securities of Jabber, Inc. (Jabber), a company we formed in February 2000. Jabber is a commercial developer of extensible instant messaging software for enterprises, carriers and service providers that require real-time communication and collaboration solutions. Jabber’s products are based on the standardized extensible message and presence protocol, XMPP, developed by the Jabber.org open-source movement. Jabber instant messaging solutions differ from packaged and consumer instant messaging solutions in the ability of Jabber instant messaging to support and to be integrated with other applications and services. Jabber began shipping commercial software in 2001.

 

During March 2003, Jabber sold, for $7.2 million, 25,218,914 shares of its newly created Series D Convertible Preferred Stock to us, France Telecom Technologies Investissements (“FTTI”) and Intel Capital Corporation. We acquired our shares by converting $2.2 million of obligations owed to us by Jabber. Following this transaction, our ownership of Jabber was reduced to 43.3% of Jabber’s outstanding capital stock on a fully-converted basis. As a result, after March 19, 2003, we no longer consolidate the financial results of Jabber with that of our own results and began accounting for our investment in Jabber under the equity method of accounting.

 

We were incorporated under the laws of Colorado on March 22, 1994. Our executive offices are located at 1899 Wynkoop, Suite 600, Denver, Colorado 80202, telephone number (303) 308-3180.

RISK FACTORS

 

Webb, as a holding company, has no independent source of revenue or business other than the ownership of securities of Jabber, Inc., a company formed by Webb in February 2000. Webb currently owns approximately 43% of Jabber’s outstanding common stock on a fully converted basis. Factors that may affect our and Jabber’s future results include, but are not limited to, the following items as well as the information in “Business – General and Competition” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”

 

Factors Relating to Webb

 

Additional funding contemplated for Jabber could reduce further our ownership interest in Jabber. Jabber recently raised $7.2 million through the sale of shares of its preferred stock to France Telecom Technologies Investissements, Intel Capital Corporation and Webb. The offering contemplates that Jabber will raise an additional $3 million from currently unidentified venture capital investors on the same terms as the purchases by FTTI, Intel and Webb. In the event that the additional $3 million is raised, Webb will be granted an option to invest an additional $2.5 million in Jabber on the same terms. The option, if granted, will expire on January 31, 2004. In order to exercise the option, if granted, Webb will need to raise the additional $2.5 million from the sale of Webb’s securities. There can be no assurance that Webb would be able to raise the required funds should the option be granted. In the event that Webb is not able to exercise the option, if granted, Webb’s percentage ownership of Jabber would be further reduced.

 

We expect to incur net losses in 2003. We have incurred net losses since we began our business totaling approximately $125 million through March 31, 2003, including approximately $67 million of non-cash expenses. We expect to incur additional substantial operating and net losses in 2003, and do not expect Jabber to achieve positive cash flow from operations until at least the fourth quarter of 2003.

 

We may need to raise additional working capital to sustain our operations. Our present cash and cash equivalents and working capital will, based on current estimates, be adequate to sustain operations for Jabber until it achieves positive cash flow from operations. In the event that Jabber’s revenues are less than projected or Jabber desires to increase marketing and business development expenses over projected levels, Jabber may need to obtain additional capital to fund its business, which could result in a reduction in the percentage of Jabber that we own. Webb estimates that it has adequate cash and commitments to sustain its operations until at least May 2005. There is no assurance that either Webb or Jabber will be able to raise additional funds, if needed.

 

An investment in our common stock is risky because the price of our stock is highly volatile. Our common stock closed as high as $0.80 per share and as low as $0.25 per share between January 1, 2003 and May 1, 2003. Historically, the over-the-counter markets for securities such as our common stock have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations. Some of the factors leading to this volatility include:

 

    Price and volume fluctuations in the stock market at large that do not relate to our operating performance;

 

    Fluctuations in our quarterly revenue and operating results; and

 

    Increases in outstanding shares of common stock upon exercise or conversion of derivative securities.

 

These factors may continue to affect the price of our common stock in the future.

 

We have issued numerous options, warrants, and convertible securities to acquire our common stock that could have a dilutive effect on our shareholders. As of May 1, 2003, we had issued warrants and options to acquire approximately 16 million shares of our common stock, exercisable at prices ranging from $0.24 to $58.25 per share, with a weighted average exercise price of approximately $1.68 per share. We had also reserved 1,584,000 shares of common stock for issuance upon conversion of our series D junior convertible preferred stock. During the terms of these derivative securities, the holders will have the opportunity to profit from an increase in the market price of our common stock with resulting potential dilution to the holders of shares who purchased shares for a price higher than the applicable exercise or conversion price. The increase in the outstanding shares of our common stock because of the exercise or conversion of these derivative securities could result in a significant decrease in the percentage ownership of our common stock by current and future holders of our common stock.

 

3


The significant number of shares issuable upon conversion or exercise of our derivative securities could make it difficult to obtain additional financing. 1,584,000 shares of our common stock may be issued if our series D junior convertible preferred stock is converted. Due to this significant potential increase in the number of our outstanding shares of common stock, new investors may either decline to make an investment in Webb due to the potential negative effect this additional dilution could have on their investment or require that their investment be on terms at least as favorable as the terms of the notes or convertible preferred stock. If we are required to provide similar terms to obtain required financing in the future, the onerous terms and significant dilution of these financings could be perpetuated and significantly increased. The current price of our common stock may make it difficult to raise capital because of the terms of the convertible preferred stock. Issuances of common stock below $1.00 in future financings may result in substantial additional shares being issued to a significant shareholder and to holders of our convertible securities, causing substantial dilution to other shareholders as well as substantial non-cash charges against our earnings.

 

Future sales of our common stock in the public market could depress the price of our common stock. Actual or potential future sales of substantial amounts of common stock in the public market could depress the market price for shares of our common stock and could impair the ability of purchasers of our common stock to recoup their investment or make a profit. At May 1, 2003 these shares consist of:

 

    Up to 1,584,000 shares issuable upon conversion of our series D junior convertible preferred stock; and

 

    Approximately 16 million shares issuable to warrant and option holders.

 

Our past use of Arthur Andersen LLP as our independent auditor may pose risks to us and limit your ability to seek potential recoveries from them related to their work. Our consolidated financial statements for, the year ended December 31, 2001, were audited by Arthur Andersen LLP. On July 1, 2002, we dismissed Arthur Andersen LLP as our independent auditor and appointed Ernst & Young LLP, which audited our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2002.

 

Securities and Exchange Commission rules require us to present our audited financial statements in various SEC filings, along with Arthur Andersen LLP’s consent to our inclusion of its audit report in those filings. However, due to Arthur Andersen LLP no longer conducting business, we did not receive a consent from Arthur Andersen LLP in connection with the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. In addition, because we have dismissed Arthur Andersen LLP as our independent auditor and due to the fact that Arthur Andersen LLP has ceased operations, Arthur Andersen LLP will be unable to provide us with consents for the use of audit reporting in connection with our future Securities Act filings, or with assurance services with respect to those financial statements, such as advice customarily given to underwriters of our securities offerings and other similar market participants. The SEC has provided regulatory relief designed to allow companies that file reports with the SEC to dispense with a requirement to file a consent of Arthur Andersen LLP in certain circumstances, including with respect to this registration statement. Notwithstanding this relief, the ability of Arthur Andersen LLP to provide its consent or to provide assurance services to us in the future could negatively affect our ability to, among other things, access the public capital markets. Any delay or inability to access the public markets as a result of this situation could have a material adverse impact on us. Also, the ability of purchasers of securities sold under certain of our registration statements to seek potential recoveries from Arthur Andersen LLP related to any claims that they may assert as a result of the audit performed by Arthur Andersen LLP will be limited significantly both as a result of the absence of a consent and the diminished amount of assets of Arthur Andersen LLP that are, or may in the future, be available to satisfy claims. The registration statements in question are those, including the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, that include or incorporate by reference financial statements of ours audited by Arthur Andersen LLP, but as to which Arthur Andersen LLP has not consented to such inclusion or incorporation by reference.

Factors Relating to Jabber

 

Jabber’s limited operating history makes it difficult to evaluate its business. Jabber was founded in February 2000 and began shipping software in 2001. Jabber has a limited operating history for its current business model upon which you may evaluate Jabber. Jabber’s business is subject to the risks, exposures and difficulties frequently encountered by early-stage companies with a limited operating history including:

 

    Limited ability to respond to competitive developments;

 

    Exaggerated effect of unfavorable changes in general economic and market conditions; and

 

    Limited ability to adjust our business plan to address marketplace and technological changes.

 

Jabber may not earn revenues sufficient to remain in business. Jabber’s ability to become profitable depends on whether it can sell its products and services for more than it costs to produce and support them. Jabber’s future sales also need to provide sufficient margin to support its ongoing operating activities. The success of Jabber’s revenue model will depend upon many factors including:

 

    The extent to which consumers and businesses use Jabber’s products and services; and
    The success of Jabber’s distribution partners in marketing its products and services.

 

Because of the new and evolving nature of instant messaging and web services, the early stage of Jabber’s products and its limited operating history, we cannot predict whether Jabber’s revenue model will prove to be viable, whether demand for Jabber’s products and services will materialize at the prices Jabber expects to charge, or whether Jabber’s current or future pricing levels will be sustainable.

 

A limited number of Jabber’s customers generate a significant portion of its revenues. Jabber had two customers representing 66% of revenues for the first quarter of 2003. We expect that Jabber’s current customers will account for a significant percentage of its revenues during 2003. There is no assurance that Jabber will be able to retain major customers or attract additional major customers. The loss of or reduction in demand for Jabber’s products or services from major customers could have a material adverse effect on Jabber’s operating results and cash flow from operations.

 

Jabber must continually develop new products that appeal to its customers. Jabber’s products are subject to rapid obsolescence and Jabber’s future success will depend upon Jabber’s ability to develop new products and services that meet changing customer and marketplace requirements. There is no assurance that Jabber will be able to successfully:

 

    Identify new product and service opportunities; or

 

    Develop and introduce new products and services to market in a timely manner.

 

Even if Jabber is able to identify new opportunities, its working capital constraints may limit its ability to pursue them. If Jabber is unable to identify and develop and introduce new products and services on a timely basis, demand for Jabber’s products and services may decline.

 

Jabber must identify and develop markets for its products and services. A suitable market for Jabber’s products and services may not develop or, if it does develop, it may take years for the market to become large enough to support significant business opportunities. Even if Jabber is able to successfully identify, develop, and introduce new products and services there is no assurance that a suitable market for these products and services will materialize. The following factors could affect the success of Jabber’s products and services and its ability to address sustainable markets:

 

    The failure of Jabber’s business plan to accurately predict the types of products and services the marketplace will demand;

 

    Jabber’s limited working capital may not allow it to commit the resources required to adequately support the introduction of new products and services;

 

5


    The failure of Jabber’s business plan to accurately predict the estimated sales cycle, price and acceptance of its products and services; or

 

    The development by others of products and services that makes Jabber’s products and services noncompetitive or obsolete.

 

There is a lot of competition that could hurt Jabber’s revenues or cause its expenses to increase. Jabber’s current and prospective competitors include many companies, including Microsoft Corporation, IBM, and Yahoo! Inc. and AOL Time Warner, Inc., whose financial, technical, marketing and other resources are substantially greater than Jabber’s. Jabber may not have the financial resources, technical expertise or marketing, sales and support capabilities to compete successfully. The presence of these competitors could hurt Jabber’s business by causing Jabber to:

 

    Reduce the selling prices for its products and services; or

 

    Increase its spending on marketing, sales and product development.

 

Jabber may not be able to offset the effects of price reductions or increases in spending. Further, Jabber’s financial condition may put it at a competitive disadvantage relative to its competitors.

 

It usually takes a long time for Jabber to make a sale of its products and services to a customer. While Jabber’s sales cycle varies from customer to customer, it is long, typically ranging from two to six months or more. Jabber’s pursuit of sales leads typically involves an analysis of its prospective customer’s needs, preparation of a written proposal, one or more presentations and contract negotiations. Jabber often provides significant education to prospective customers about the use and benefits of its technologies and services. Jabber’s sales cycle may also be affected by a prospective customer’s budgetary constraints and internal acceptance reviews, over which Jabber has little or no control.

 

Offering proprietary products may jeopardize Jabber’s relationship with open-source communities. An important element of the business model for Jabber is based upon Jabber’s ability to offer proprietary products compatible with Jabber.org open-source instant messaging systems. A key element of open-source software development movements is that the software and its code be offered to other developers and users free, provided that anyone who makes an improvement or modification to the software and who intends to commercialize the improvement or modification, makes them available for free to the community and other users. If the Jabber.org open-source community or other open-source communities withdraw their support for either Jabber or its instant messaging products, demand for Jabber instant messaging products will likely decline.

 

Jabber may be unable to reduce expenses if sales do not occur as expected. Because of Jabber’s limited operating history, it does not have significant historical financial data upon which to base its planned operating expenses or to forecast revenues and there can be no assurance that Jabber will be able to meet its revenue or expense projections. Jabber’s expense levels are based in part on its expectations of future sales and to a large extent are fixed. Jabber typically operates with little backlog and the sales cycles for its products and services may vary significantly. Jabber may be unable to adjust spending in a timely manner to compensate for any unexpected sales shortfalls. If Jabber were unable to so adjust, any significant shortfall of demand for its products and services in relation to its expectations would result in operating losses or reduced profitability. Further, Jabber intends to incur significant capital expenditures and operating expenses to fund its operations. If these expenditures are not subsequently followed by increased sales with substantial margins, then Jabber may need to raise additional capital to stay in business.

 

DIVIDENDS

 

We have never paid any dividends on our common stock and we do anticipate paying dividends in the foreseeable future. Instead, we intend to apply any earnings to the development and expansion of our business. Future payments of dividends will depend upon our financial condition, results of operations and capital commitments as well as other factors deemed relevant by our board of directors.

SPECIAL NOTE ABOUT FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

Some of the statements made in this prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus under “Risk Factors” and elsewhere constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are subject to the safe harbor provisions of the act. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of terminology such as may, will, expect, anticipate, intend, believe, estimate, should, or continue or other variations on these words or comparable terminology. Where this prospectus contains forward-looking statements, you should be aware that our actual financial condition, operating results and business performance may differ materially from that projected or estimated by us in the forward-looking statements. We have attempted to identify, in context, some of the factors that we believe may cause actual future experience and results to differ from their current expectations.

 

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

The selling shareholders are offering all of the shares to be sold. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the offer and sale of the shares of common stock. However, 10,735,000 of the shares offered are issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock purchase warrants at an exercise price of $1.00 per share. If these warrants are exercised in full, we will receive gross proceeds of $10,735,000.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

GENERAL

 

Our sole business is the ownership of securities of Jabber, Inc. (Jabber), a company we formed in February 2000. Jabber is a commercial developer of extensible instant messaging software for enterprises, carriers and service providers that require real-time communication and collaboration solutions. Jabber’s products are based on the standardized extensible message and presence protocol, XMPP, developed by the Jabber.org open-source movement. Jabber instant messaging solutions differ from packaged and consumer instant messaging solutions in the ability of Jabber instant messaging to support and to be integrated with other applications and services. Jabber began shipping commercial software in 2001.

 

Commencing with the purchase of Jabber’s series D convertible preferred stock on March 19, 2003, by Webb, FTTI and Intel, Webb’s ownership in Jabber was reduced from 77.8% on an as-if converted basis prior to the transaction to 43.3% immediately after the transaction. As a result of this change in ownership interest, Webb ceased consolidating Jabber’s results of operations and financial position and began reporting its investment in Jabber under the equity method of accounting. Webb evaluated whether to continue the consolidation method of accounting for Jabber in its financial statements. Webb considered whether it continued to exercise control over the operations of Jabber based on its ownership percentage, voting rights, board of director seats and management influence. Based on this evaluation, Webb has determined that it no longer exercises control over the operations of Jabber, but does exert significant influence. As a result, after March 19, 2003, Webb no longer consolidated the financial results of Jabber with that of its own and began to account for the investment in Jabber under the equity method.

 

During March 2003, Jabber sold, for $7.2 million, 25,218,914 shares of its newly created series D convertible preferred stock to France Telecom Technologies Investissements (FTTI), Intel Capital Corporation and Webb. Webb acquired its shares by converting $2.2 million of obligations owed to it by Jabber. Following this transaction, Webb owns 18,390,232 shares of Jabber common stock and 7,705,779 shares of Jabber’s series D convertible preferred stock, representing, on an as-if-converted basis, 43.3% of Jabber’s outstanding capital stock.

 

In the first quarter of 2003, as a result of the additional shares of Jabber common stock issued to FTTI in connection with its anti-dilution protection, Jabber recorded a common stock dividend of $2,983,953. Jabber also recorded a non-cash loss on debt extinguishment of $1,571,900 for the exchange of the Webb convertible note payable into shares of Jabber’s series D convertible preferred stock.

 

Webb, as a holding company, has no independent source of revenue and will, therefore, continue to incur, losses from its operations. Webb’s ability to become profitable is dependant on the success of Jabber. Jabber’s ability to become profitable depends on its ability to market its products and services and generate revenues sufficient to exceed its expenses. Because of the new and evolving nature of instant messaging technologies and Jabber’s early stage of development, we cannot be sure that Jabber’s revenue model will prove to be viable, whether demand for its products and services will materialize at the prices it expects to charge, or whether its current or future pricing levels will be sustainable.

(1)   Includes $2,025,478 in convertible notes receivable from Jabber.

 

Working capital: Working capital is calculated by deducting current liabilities from current assets. Working capital decreased in the first quarter of 2003 primarily due to funding our operating activities with cash on-hand at December 31, 2002, and investing an additional $195,000 in Jabber.

 

Cash flows used by operating activities: Cash used by operating activities decreased significantly in the first quarter of 2003 compared with the first quarter of 2002 primarily from a decrease in operating expenses totaling $446,000 and the payment of 2001 obligations in the first quarter of 2002 totaling $472,000.

 

Cash flows used by investing activities: Cash used by investing activities decreased primarily from investing $905,000 less cash in Jabber during the first quarter of 2003. As a result of the Jabber financing in March 2003, Webb is not planning any additional direct funding of Jabber, other than the potential participation in the second series D convertible preferred stock financing. See Financial Statements – Note 5 to Notes to Unaudited Interim Condensed Financial Statements for additional details regarding the potential participation in the second series D convertible preferred stock financing.

 

Cash flows from financing activities: Cash provided from financing activities decreased primarily from the completion of the sale our common stock and warrants to purchase our common stock in the first quarter of 2002 for which we received $7.5 million in proceeds.

 

In connection with the Jabber financing in March 2003, Webb and Jabber formalized a two-year cost sharing arrangement commencing April 1, 2003, whereby Jabber has agreed to pay (i) 80% of the cost of two shared employees who provide accounting services for both companies; (ii) 60% of the cost of the Secretary and General Counsel for Webb who performs similar services for Jabber; and (iii) $100,000 annually for salary and 44% of the expenses of the CEO of Webb for serving on Jabber’s executive committee. We estimate that we will receive approximately $36,000 per month from Jabber for this cost sharing arrangement. In addition, commencing April 1, 2003, we will receive from Jabber $12,000 per month for 21 months for the purchase of third-party business software we own and we will receive $200,000 on August 31, 2004, from Jabber for the purchase of computer equipment, office furnishings and fixtures and other office equipment. We believe our cash on-hand of approximately $828,000 at April 24, 2003, will be sufficient to fund Webb’s operating expenses through at least May 2005. Webb’s operating expenses are generally fixed in nature and include compensation costs, investor relations and the cost associated with being a public company. Our monthly cash requirements, after the cost sharing arrangement and the sale of property and equipment to Jabber, are forecasted to average approximately $31,000 for the remainder of 2003, $32,000 for 2004 and $63,000 for 2005.

Working capital: Working capital is calculated by deducting current liabilities from current assets. Working capital increased in the first quarter of 2003 primarily from $5 million in gross cash proceeds Jabber received from the sale of its series D convertible preferred stock.

 

Cash flows used by operating activities: Cash used by operating activities decreased slightly in the first quarter of 2003 compared with the first quarter of 2002 primarily from an increase of $489,000 in collections from customers resulting from increased revenues which was partially offset by an increase of $164,000 in the first quarter of 2003 in cash used to pay operating expenses.

 

Cash flows used by investing activities: Jabber used $8,182 in investing activities for the purchase of property and equipment in the first quarter of 2003, compared with $16,672 for the first quarter of 2002. Jabber plans to spend approximately $405,000 for property and equipment for the remainder of 2003.

 

Cash flows provided by financing activities: Cash provided from financing activities increased in the first quarter of 2003 primarily from the completion of the sale of Jabber’s series D convertible preferred stock for which Jabber received $4.8 million in net cash proceeds. Jabber also received $175,000 in net convertible notes payable from Webb, which was $925,000 less than Jabber received in 2002.

 

As a result of the $5 million in gross cash proceeds Jabber received from the sale of its series D convertible preferred stock in March 2003, we believe that Jabber is adequately funded through the time it will become cash break-even, which we expect to occur during the fourth quarter of 2003. Based on our current financial forecasts, Jabber will use approximately $780,000 in net cash for operating and investing activities for the remainder of 2003 and thereafter is expected to generate sufficient cash flow from operations to sustain its operations. Jabber’s projected use of cash is predicated on Jabber meeting its revenue projections and managing its expense levels to forecasted amounts. We estimate 2003 revenues for Jabber to increase to $8.4 million, and to more than $18 million in 2004. Software license fees are projected to account for 65% of net revenues in 2003 and 72% in 2004. We estimate Jabber’s operating expenses to be $9.9 million for 2003 and to increase to $14.7 million for 2004. Jabber has a limited operating history upon which to base its projections, particularly its revenue projections, and there can be no assurance that Jabber will be able to meet its projections for revenues and expenses. In addition, since many of Jabber’s expenses are fixed or must be incurred in advance of revenues, Jabber’s working capital requirements could increase significantly over projected levels if Jabber does not meet its revenue projections. Therefore, Jabber may require more cash for its operations than our current projections indicate. In this circumstance, Jabber may have to seek additional funding or reduce its operating activities.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Critical Accounting Policies – Webb

 

Webb’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). These accounting principles require us to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions. We believe that the estimates, judgments and assumptions upon which we rely are reasonable based upon information available to us at the time that these estimates, judgments and assumptions are made. These estimates, judgments and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. To the extent there are material differences between these estimates, judgments or assumptions and actual results, Webb’s financial statements will be affected. The significant accounting policies that we believe are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating Webb’s reported financial results include accounting for our investment in Jabber and impairment of long-lived assets.

 

In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by GAAP and does not require management’s judgment in its application. There are also areas in which management’s judgment in selecting among available alternatives would not produce a materially different result. Webb’ senior management has reviewed these critical accounting policies and related disclosures with our Audit Committee. See Financial Statements—Note 2 to Notes to Audited Consolidated Financial Statements, which contain additional information regarding Webb’s accounting policies and other disclosures required by GAAP.

 

Accounting for Investment in Jabber

 

We report our investment in Jabber using the equity method of accounting whereby we record our percentage of Jabber’s net income or losses as an increase or a reduction to the carrying value of our investment account on our balance sheet and as income or losses in our results of operations. To the extent that we record losses from Jabber, our investment account will not be reduced below zero, unless at some future date we become obligated to fund future Jabber losses, if any. The use of the equity method of accounting represents a change on how we reported our investment in Jabber prior to March 19, 2003, the date on which Jabber sold shares of its series D convertible preferred stock to FTTI, Intel and Webb. Prior to this date, we consolidated the operations of Jabber with our own.

 

As a result of the March 19, 2003, Jabber financing, our ownership in Jabber was reduced from 77.8% on an as-if converted basis prior to the transaction to 43.3% immediately after the transaction. With this change in ownership and the additional terms of the Jabber series D convertible preferred stock (See Financial Statements – Note 5 to Notes to Unaudited Interim Condensed Financial Statements), we evaluated whether to continue the consolidation method of accounting for Jabber in our financial statements. We considered whether we continued to exercise control over the operations of Jabber based on our ownership percentage, voting rights, board of director seats and management influence. Based on this evaluation, we have determined that we no longer exercise control over the operations of Jabber, but do exert significant influence and therefore we changed from consolidating Jabber’s operations with our own to reporting our investment in Jabber using the equity method of accounting.

 

We shall continue to evaluate the facts and circumstances of our relationship with Jabber on an as needed basis in our continuing evaluation of our reporting method related to Jabber. A change in our relationship with Jabber or the issuance of future guidance, if any, on consolidating subsidiaries may change the method we use to report Jabber in our results of operations. We review our investment in Jabber for impairment on a regular basis. In the event the fair value of our investment in Jabber declines to an amount that is less than our carrying value and that decline is other than temporary, we will record an impairment charge to reduce our carrying amount to fair value.

To the extent there are material differences between these estimates, judgments or assumptions and actual results, Jabber’s financial statements will be affected. The significant accounting policies that we believe are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating Jabber’s reported financial results include revenue recognition and accounting for software development costs.

 

In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by GAAP and does not require management’s judgment in its application. There are also areas in which management’s judgment in selecting among available alternatives would not produce a materially different result. Jabber’s senior management has reviewed these critical accounting policies and related disclosures with Webb’s Audit Committee. See Financial Statements—Note 2 to Notes to Audited Consolidated Financial Statements, which contain additional information regarding Jabber’s accounting policies and other disclosures required by GAAP.

 

Revenue Recognition -

 

Jabber derives revenues from two primary sources: (1) software license revenues and (2) services revenues, which include maintenance and support contracts and professional service contracts. While the basis for software license revenue recognition is substantially governed by the provisions of Statement of Position No. 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, issued by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (SOP 97-2), as amended, Jabber exercises judgment and use estimates in connection with the determination of the amount of software license and services revenues to be recognized in each accounting period. For software license arrangements that do not require significant modification or customization of the underlying software, Jabber recognizes revenue when: (1) it enters into a legally binding arrangement with a customer for the license of software; (2) it delivers the products or perform the services; (3) customer payment is deemed fixed or determinable and free of contingencies or significant uncertainties; and (4) collection is probable. Substantially all of Jabber’s license revenues are recognized in this manner.

 

Many of Jabber’s software arrangements include implementation or customization services sold separately under professional services engagement contracts. Revenues from these arrangements are generally accounted for separately from the license revenue because the arrangements qualify as “service transactions” as defined in SOP 97-2. The more significant factors considered in determining whether the revenue should be accounted for separately include the nature of services (i.e., consideration of whether the services are essential to the functionality of the licensed product), degree of risk, availability of services from other vendors, timing of payments and impact of milestones or acceptance criteria on the realizability of the software license fee. If an arrangement does not qualify for separate accounting of the license and service transactions, then license revenue is generally recognized together with the consulting services based on contract accounting using either the percentage-of-completion or completed-contract method as described below. Contract accounting is also applied to any arrangements: (1) that include milestones or customer specific acceptance criteria, which may affect collection of the license fees; (2) where services include significant modification or customization of the software; (3) where significant consulting services are provided for in the contract without additional charges; or (4) where the license payment is tied to the performance of consulting services. For arrangements with multiple elements, Jabber allocates revenue to each element of a transaction based upon its fair value as determined in reliance on “vendor specific objective evidence.” Vendor specific objective evidence of fair value for all elements of an arrangement is based upon the normal pricing practices for those products and services when sold separately and, for maintenance and support services, is additionally measured by the renewal rate. If Jabber cannot objectively determine the fair value of any undelivered elements included in bundled software and service arrangements, Jabber defers revenue until all elements are delivered, services have been performed, or until fair value can objectively be determined. When the fair value of a license element has not been established, Jabber uses the residual method to record license revenue if the fair value of all undelivered elements is determinable. Under the residual method, the fair value of the undelivered elements is deferred and the remaining portion of the arrangement fee is allocated to the delivered elements and is recognized as revenue. Jabber’s license arrangements generally do not include acceptance provisions. However, if acceptance provisions exist we recognize revenue once the software has been accepted. Jabber assesses whether fees are fixed or determinable at the time of sale and recognizes revenue if all other revenue recognition requirements are met.

 

13


Revenue for consulting services is generally recognized as the services are performed. If the project is of a short duration or there is a significant uncertainty about the project completion, revenue is recognized on the completed contract method. If there is uncertainty about receipt of payment for the consulting services, revenue is deferred until the uncertainty is sufficiently resolved. Jabber estimates the percentage of completion on contracts with fixed or “not to exceed” fees on a monthly basis utilizing hours incurred to date as a percentage of total estimated hours to complete the project. If Jabber does not have a sufficient basis to measure progress towards completion, revenue is recognized when Jabber receives final acceptance from the customer. When total cost estimates exceed revenues, Jabber accrues for the estimated losses immediately based upon our standard fully burdened hourly rates. The complexity of the estimation process and issues related to the assumptions, risks and uncertainties inherent with the application of the percentage of completion method of accounting affect the amounts of revenue and related expenses reported in our consolidated financial statements. A number of internal and external factors can affect Jabber’s estimates, including labor rates, utilization and efficiency variances and specification and testing requirement changes.

 

Software Development Costs -

 

Software development costs for new software products to be sold or marketed externally for resale are accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 86, “Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed” (SFAS 86). Under this accounting statement, software development costs are expensed until technological feasibility has been established upon completion of a detailed program design and are then capitalized until the software product is generally available for sale. Capitalized software costs are amortized to expense over their estimated useful life. In making such a determination, management must exercise judgment with respect to determining when the software has reached technological feasibility, the nature of the particular enhancement as well as the economic useful life of the software and/or the related enhancement. Given the early stage of adoption of enterprise-based IM technology and Jabber’s rapidly evolving product offerings, it is difficult to estimate the economic life of Jabber’s software products. However, Jabber’s management has estimated that the economic life is very short, and the economic life of any enhancements would not exceed 12 months. Consequently, Jabber has expensed product development costs in the period incurred. In future periods, as Jabber’s business continues to evolve, we may determine that product development costs should be capitalized and such amounts could be significant given our projected expenditures.

Results of Operations for Webb

 

Operating Expenses:

 

Our sole business is the ownership of securities of Jabber, Inc., a company we formed in February 2000. We also conduct corporate activities such as accounting, administration, public reporting and financing activities for both Webb and Jabber. We reduce our expenses by amounts reimbursed to us by Jabber. Webb’s parent-only unaudited statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, are presented below had Webb not consolidated Jabber for the first quarter of 2002 or through March 19, 2003, for the first quarter of 2003.

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of employee compensation, and other costs associated with being a public company, including investor relations, shareholder communications and legal and accounting fees. General and administrative expenses were $208,543 for the first quarter of 2003, compared with $768,794 for the first quarter of 2002. The decrease was primarily from (i) a decrease of $211,000 in employee compensation expense; (ii) a reduction of $84,000 in office rent and telecommunication expenses due to the assignment of the lease to Jabber; (iii) a decrease of $67,000 in legal and accounting fees; (iv) incurring $31,000 in expenses for a special shareholder meeting in the first quarter of 2002; (v) incurring $31,000 in Nasdaq listing fees in the first quarter of 2002; and (vi) a decrease of $28,000 in personal property tax. We estimate Webb’s general and administrative expenses to be approximately $690,000 for the remainder of 2003.

 

Depreciation was $68,168 for the first quarter of 2003, compared to $119,662 for first quarter of 2002. The decrease is primarily from no depreciation being recorded in the first quarter of 2003 on assets which became fully depreciated in periods since the first quarter of 2002. After considering the sale of third-party business software to Jabber in April 2003, commencing in the second quarter of 2003, we expect depreciation expense to be approximately $13,000 per month.

 

15


Interest Income:

 

Interest income was $1,611,750 for the first quarter of 2003, compared to $14,337 for the first quarter of 2002. During the first quarter of 2003, we recorded non-cash interest income of $1,571,900 resulting from additional shares of Jabber’s series D convertible preferred stock issued pursuant to anti-dilution provisions under the terms our convertible notes payable.

 

Loss on investment in Jabber:

 

Jabber is a commercial developer of extensible instant messaging software for enterprises, carriers and service providers that require real-time communication and collaboration solutions. At March 31, 2003, we owned 43.3% of Jabber stock, on an as-if converted basis. Prior to March 19, 2003, we owned 74.8% of Jabber stock.

 

As of March 19, 2003, in conjunction with the Jabber financing transaction, we ceased consolidating Jabber’s results of operations and financial position with our own and began reporting our investment in Jabber under the equity method of accounting. During the first quarter of 2003, we recorded $2,436,127 in losses from Jabber, compared with $1,555,176 for the first quarter of 2002.

 

Net Loss Applicable to Common Stockholders:

 

Net loss allocable to common stockholders was $1,101,088 for the first quarter of 2003 compared with $4,451,785 for the first quarter of 2002. The decrease was primarily from (i) a reduction in operating expenses of $611,745; (ii) recording non-cash expenses in the first quarter of 2002 related to our 10% convertible note payable for loss on debt extinguishment of $1,162,934 and interest expense of $513,678; (iii) recording non-cash accretion expense in the first quarter of 2002 on our preferred stock securities; and (iv) recording $1,571,900 of non-cash interest income in 2003 related to the cancellation and issuance of Jabber securities to us. These reductions were partially offset by an increase of $880,951 in losses from our investment in Jabber in the first quarter of 2003 and preferred stock dividends and extraordinary income we recorded in the first quarter of 2002 of $154,772 and $224,811, respectively. We expect Webb’s losses to be approximately $880,000 for the remainder of 2003.

Results of operations for Jabber

 

Revenues:

 

Jabber’s total revenue for the first quarter of 2003 increased 36% to $1,167,017 compared to $861,053 for the first quarter of 2002. Jabber’s results for the first quarter of 2003 compared to its first quarter of 2002 reflected increased license revenue and service revenue. The revenue mix between license fees and services was 53% and 47%, respectively, for the first quarter of 2003 compared with 68% and 32%, respectively, for the first quarter of 2002. The change in the revenue mix is primarily a result of an increase in maintenance and support revenues recognized in connection with the France Telecom license. Approximately 49% of Jabber’s total revenues in the first quarter of 2003 were from France Telecom, an investor in Jabber, compared with 5% of total revenues in the first quarter of 2002.

License fee revenue represents fees earned for granting customers licenses to use Jabber software products. For the first quarter of 2003, Jabber recognized $617,222 in license revenue, which represents a 5% increase when compared to $588,899 for the first quarter of 2002. The increase was a result of additional sales of Jabber’s products as the number of customers more than doubled and additional license purchases from existing customers, which, including France Telecom, represented 66% of license revenues during the first quarter of 2003. Jabber recognized $311,138 in license fee revenue from France Telecom in the first quarter of 2003 which represented 50% of total license fee revenue recognized in the quarter. Jabber is forecasting revenues from license fees to be $4.8 million for the remainder of 2003 and to increase to $15.0 million in 2004.

 

Professional service revenue represents fees earned for custom programming, installation and integration services of Jabber software products, generally with larger enterprise organizations. Professional service contracts are typically entered into in conjunction with the licensing of Jabber’s software. Professional service revenues were $263,180 for the first quarter of 2003, which represents a 25% increase when compared with $210,233 for the first quarter of 2002. The increase was a result of a higher sales volume and more of our customers entering into professional service contracts in the first quarter of 2003. Jabber recognized revenue in the first quarter of 2003 on twelve professional service contracts compared to three in the first quarter of 2002, which included a single fixed price contract which comprised 81% of professional service revenue in the first quarter of 2002. Jabber also recognized $82,582 in revenue from France Telecom in the first quarter of 2003, or 31% of professional service

revenue. Jabber is forecasting revenues from professional service contracts to be $1.2 million for the remainder of 2003 and increase to $3.0 million in 2004.

 

Maintenance and support fee revenues are derived from annual support and maintenance contracts associated with the sale of Jabber’s software products. Annual fees for maintenance and support are generally 15% to 18% of the license fee revenue and the related revenue is recognized over the term of the contract. Customers may purchase maintenance and/or support contracts for which they receive telephone support and product updates and upgrades during the term of the agreement. Customers are not obligated to purchase maintenance and support. Maintenance and support fees were $286,615 for the first quarter of 2003 compared to $61,921 for the first quarter of 2002. The increase was a result of $177,814 of revenue recognized from France Telecom, or 62% of maintenance and support revenue, $36,374 in revenue recognized from maintenance and support contract renewals and an increase in the number of customers under maintenance and support contracts, which increased from 12 in the first quarter of 2002 to 43 in the first quarter of 2003. Jabber is forecasting revenues from support and maintenance agreements to be $1.2 million for the remainder of 2003 and increase to $2.5 million in 2004.

 

Revenues from France Telecom: During 2002, Jabber and France Telecom, an investor in Jabber, entered into a fixed price consulting contract with a total value of $455,000. During the first quarter of 2003 and 2002, Jabber recognized $82,582 and $37,932, respectively, in revenue from this contract. In accordance with its original terms, the contract ended February 28, 2003.

 

March 19, 2003, France Telecom exercised its option to purchase additional registered user licenses under an OEM license agreement entered into by France Telecom and Jabber in October 2002, including maintenance and support, for an additional $3 million. The terms of the agreement provide for quarterly payments of $750,000. France Telecom also has the right to exercise a second option to purchase an unlimited registered user license including maintenance and support for an additional $2.5 million, payable in quarterly installments of $625,000. The second option expires December 15, 2003. During the first quarter of 2003, Jabber recognized $311,138 of license revenue and $177,814 in maintenance and support revenue related to this contract. Jabber expects to recognize $329,228 in license revenue and $177,814 in maintenance and support revenue each quarter through September 30, 2005, or the expiration of the second option, and defer $242,958 of revenue per quarter in 2003 until such time as France Telecom exercises the second option or it expires. Should the second option expire, any remaining deferred revenue related to this contract would be recognized on December 15, 2003.

 

In October 2001, France Telecom licensed Jabber’s commercial server application and entered into an annual maintenance and support agreement. Jabber recognized $5,751 in maintenance and support revenue related to this contract during the first quarter of 2002.

 

Operating Expenses:

 

Cost of license fees consist of software delivery expenses and were $3,241 for the first quarter of 2003 compared to $178 for the first quarter of 2002. During 2002, Jabber entered into a contract to imbed a third-party software component into its products for which Jabber will pay a 2.7% license fee based royalty for sales which include the third-party software. Jabber expects to begin selling its products which include this third-party software in the third quarter of 2003.

 

Cost of professional service revenues consists of compensation and contract labor costs associated with performing custom programming, installation and integration services for Jabber’s customers. Jabber accounts for these costs as either direct project costs or overhead costs to manage its professional services organization. Cost of professional service revenues was $134,040 for the first quarter of 2003, or 51% of net professional service revenues, compared to $87,688, or 42% of net professional service revenues for the first quarter of 2002. The increase was primarily from higher volume of professional service revenue and the use of contract employees at higher hourly cost rates compared with our internal cost rate for employees. Jabber expects cost of professional service revenue to be 43% of net professional service revenues for the remainder of 2003 and 44% in 2004.

 

Gross margin on professional services revenue was 49% for the first quarter of 2003 compared with 58% for the first quarter of 2002. The decrease in gross margin was primarily from $37,000 in overhead costs associated with managing more projects which was not fully absorbed into direct project costs. The gross margin on direct

 

18


project costs was 63% for the first quarter of 2003 compared to 58% for the first quarter of 2002. The increase was a result of higher effective hourly billing rates on a higher volume of contracts.

 

Cost of maintenance and support revenue was $31,491 for the first quarter of 2003, or 11% of net maintenance and support revenues, compared to $23,079, or 37% of net maintenance and support revenues for the first quarter of 2002. Jabber expects cost of support and maintenance revenues to be 10% of support and maintenance revenues for the remainder of 2003 and 25% in 2004. Projected increases in costs associated with delivering these services are expected to result only to the extent required to support new customer contracts.

 

Gross margin on maintenance and support revenue was 89% for the first quarter of 2003 compared with 63% for the first quarter of 2002. The increase is primarily from using the similar cost structure to support a customer base which was more than 3.5 times larger from the first quarter of 2002 and which generated $224,694 more in revenue.

 

Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of employee compensation, cost of travel, advertising and public relations costs, trade show expenses, and costs of marketing materials. Sales and marketing expenses were $422,866 for the first quarter of 2003, or 36% of net revenues, compared to $355,340, or 41% of net revenues for the first quarter of 2002. The increase was primarily from (i) incurring $56,000 more in costs associated with Jabber’s international sales office which was opened in April 2002; (ii) an increase in tradeshow expense of $26,000; (iii) an increase in public relations costs of $23,000; and (iv) an increase of $20,000 related to demand generation marketing campaigns. These increases were partially offset by a reduction in bonus expense of $33,000 in the first quarter of 2003. Jabber expects sales and marketing expenses to increase on an absolute dollar basis in future periods as Jabber continues to market its products and services, develop business relationships and execute its sales plan. Jabber estimates sales and marketing expenses to be approximately $2.7 million for the remainder of 2003.

 

Product development expenses consist primarily of employee compensation and programming fees relating to the development and enhancement of the features and functionality of Jabber’s software products. During 2003 and 2002, all product development costs were expensed as incurred. Product development expenses were $709,850 for the first quarter of 2003, or 61% of net revenues, compared to $652,868 or 76% of net revenues for the first quarter of 2002. The increase was primarily from increases in contract labor expense of $93,000 which supplemented Jabber’s employee-based development team and consulting expense of $20,000 related to Jabber’s efforts to have the Jabber XMPP protocol declared an internet standard by the Internet Engineering Task Force. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in bonus expense of $59,000 in the first quarter of 2003. Jabber believes that significant investments in product development are critical to attaining its strategic objectives and, as a result, Jabber expects product development expenses to continue to increase in future periods. Jabber estimates product development expenses to be approximately $2.7 million for the remainder of 2003.

 

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of employee compensation, consulting expenses, fees for professional services, and non-cash expense related to stock and warrants issued for services. General and administrative expenses were $494,719 for the first quarter of 2003, or 42% of net revenues, compared with $726,594, or 84% of net revenues for the first quarter of 2002. The decrease was primarily from (i) a decrease in compensation costs of $139,000 as a result of reducing headcount by one employee and salary reductions by executives; (ii) $30,000 in non-cash compensation expense incurred in the first quarter of 2002 related to grants of Jabber’s common stock; and (iii) incurring $26,000 less in travel costs primarily due to fewer trips to Europe. Jabber expects general and administrative expenses to increase in future periods as it continues to build the administrative infrastructure needed to support its business. Jabber estimates general and administrative expenses to be at least $1.8 million for the remainder of 2003.

 

Depreciation and amortization was $54,473 for the first quarter of 2003 compared to $426,407 for the first quarter of 2002. The decrease was primarily from $381,000 of amortization expense recorded in the first quarter of 2002 related to intangible assets that were fully amortized at June 2002.

 

19


Other Income and Expenses:

 

Interest expense is a result of outstanding convertible notes payable to Webb which accrued interest at 9.5% per annum and was $38,647 for the first quarter of 2003, compared to $5,336 for the first quarter of 2002. The increase was from higher loan balances owed to Webb during the first quarter of 2003.

 

Loss on debt extinguishment was $1,571,900 for the first quarter of 2003 resulting from the exchange of the convertible note payable to Webb for shares of Jabber’s series D convertible preferred stock. The loss was calculated by multiplying the increase in the number of common shares issuable upon conversion by the fair market value of our common stock on the date the transaction closed. Refer to Financial Statements – Note 5 to Notes to Unaudited Interim Condensed Financial Statements for a description of this transaction.

 

Net Loss Applicable to Common Stockholders:

 

Net loss allocable to common stockholders was $2,294,302 for the first quarter of 2003, including $1,571,900 in non-cash loss on debt extinguishment. Net loss allocable to common stockholders was $1,665,354 for the first quarter of 2002, which included $251,548 in preferred stock dividends. Net loss applicable to common stockholders increased by $628,948 primarily due to the loss on debt extinguishment recorded in 2003 offset by (i) a $306,000 increase in revenue, (ii) a $232,000 reduction in general and administrative expense; and (iii) a $381,000 decrease in amortization related to intangible assets that were fully amortized at June 30, 2002. Jabber expects to incur approximately $1.0 million in losses for the remainder of 2003 due to the significant time between product development and market introduction as well as the long sales cycle for most of it products and continued increases in operating expenses during 2003, due to the continuing development of its business.

 

Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2002 and 2001

 

Due to the termination of our AccelX business segment on October 16, 2001, continuing operations of Webb refer to the Jabber business segment and Webb’s corporate activities. Jabber commenced operations in May 2000, and was a development-stage enterprise through March 2001, at which time it released its initial proprietary IM software product.

 

Revenues:

 

Jabber earns revenues from licensing of its IM software, fees for maintenance and support contracts and fees from professional services agreements, which are generally associated with licensing contracts.

 

Jabber’s total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2002, increased 3.1 times to $3,392,782 compared to $1,079,337 for the year ended December 31, 2001. The revenue mix between license fees and services in 2002 was 60% and 40%, respectively, compared with 71% and 29%, respectively, for 2001. Contributing to the change in the revenue mix between years were two professional service agreements for which there was no related license revenue. Taking these two contracts into account, the mix between license fees and services is 72% and 28%, respectively. The significant increase in revenues in 2002 is primarily due to revenues earned from licensing Jabber’s proprietary IM software products, which were initially released in March 2001 and associated professional service revenues earned in connection with integrating and customizing Jabber’s products. Prior to March 2001, Jabber earned revenue primarily from professional service contracts for the customization of the open-source IM software.

License revenues represent fees earned for granting customers licenses to use Jabber software products. During the third quarter of 2001, Jabber began licensing products based on a perpetual license, registered user pricing model. License revenues for the year ended December 31, 2002, were $2,036,081, which represents a 165% increase when compared with $767,556 for the year ended December 31, 2001. The increase was a result of stronger demand for Jabber’s products and additional license purchases from existing customers, which represented 49% of license revenues during the 2002 twelve-month period. Software revenue recognized in 2001 was primarily from licenses to two customers, including France Telecom, a related party

 

Professional service revenue represents fees earned for custom programming, installation and integration services of Jabber software products, generally with larger enterprise organizations and consulting services. Professional service revenues were $1,048,278 for the year ended December 31, 2002, which represents a 446% increase when compared with $191,861 for the year ended December 31, 2001. Revenues recognized from professional services in 2002 was primarily from (i) a customization contract with Euro RSCG of $230,668; (ii) a consulting contract with France Telecom, a related party, of $372,418; (iii) a customization and integration contract with AT&T of $190,800; and (iv) a customization contract with Lehman Brothers of $146,497.

 

Support and maintenance fee revenues are derived from annual support and maintenance contracts associated with the sale of Jabber’s software products and customized month-to-month support agreements with customers generally billed on a time and materials basis. Annual fees for support and maintenance are generally 15% to 18% of the license fee revenue and the related revenue is recognized over the term of the contract. Customers may purchase support and/or maintenance contracts for which they receive telephone support and product updates and upgrades during the term of the agreement. Customers are not obligated to purchase support and maintenance. Support and maintenance fees were $308,423 for the year ended December 31, 2002, which represents a 157% increase when compared with $119,920 for the year ended December 31, 2001. Support and maintenance fee revenues in 2002 were derived from annual support and maintenance agreements sold in connection with the licensing of Jabber’s software, while revenues in 2001 were primarily from custom support contracts which were billed at a fixed price or on a time and material basis and were for a fixed number of hours or a fixed period of time, generally less than two months.

In February 2002, Jabber and France Telecom (collectively France Telecom and its subsidiaries or affiliates, “FT”), an investor in Jabber (See Financial Statements—Note 10 to Notes to Audited Consolidated Financial Statements), entered into a $455,000 fixed-priced consulting agreement whereby Jabber provides professional consulting services for general IM technology as well as IM technology integration with FT proprietary product offerings to FT. During 2002, Jabber billed FT $384,772 in fees, of which $372,418 was recognized as revenue with the remaining $12,354 being deferred until 2003. Jabber expects the deferred revenue and the remaining $70,228 to be billed to FT to be recognized as revenue in the first quarter of 2003. At December 31, 2002, all of the revenue recognized in 2002 has been collected, except for $37,932, which was collected in January 2003.

 

In October 2001, FT licensed Jabber’s commercial server software and entered into an annual maintenance and support agreement. Jabber recognized $87,800 in license revenue in 2001 and $19,166 and $31,039 in 2002 and 2001, respectively, from the maintenance and support agreement. In October 2002, Jabber entered into an agreement with FT to amend the license agreement whereby FT purchased a user-based license including the first year of support and maintenance for $500,000. In addition, FT had an option to purchase additional licenses under this agreement. During March 2003, FT exercised the option to purchase additional user licenses and related maintenance and support for $3,000,000 to be paid in four equal quarterly payments in 2003. We expect that $2,000,000 of this amount will be recognized as revenue in 2003. During 2002, we recognized $425,000 in license revenue and $15,625 in maintenance and support revenue from FT. At December 31, 2002, all of the fees from the FT license and maintenance and support agreements in effect in 2002 had been collected.

 

Cost of Revenues:

 

Cost of license revenues for the 2002 twelve-month period were $652 and consists of shipping costs to deliver software products net of amounts billed to customers.

 

Cost of professional service revenues consists of compensation costs and consulting fees associated with performing custom programming, installation and integration services for Jabber’s customers. Cost of professional service revenues was $951,804 for the year ended December 31, 2002, or 91% of net professional service revenues, compared to $409,273, or 213% of net professional service revenues for the year ended December 31, 2001. Direct project expenses for 2002 were $893,841 on revenues of $1,048,278 representing a gross margin of 15%, compared to direct project expenses of $130,411 on revenues of $191,861 representing a gross margin of 32% for the year ended December 31, 2001. The decrease in direct project gross margin in 2002 is a result of two loss contracts in which our costs exceed revenues by $201,585. In October 2002, we signed a license contract valued at $157,500 with a customer in the financial services industry. In connection with this contract, we agreed to perform significant professional services in order to develop functionality for our software products required by this customer and the financial services industry in general. The cost of the professional services for this contract exceeded revenues by $164,351. We incurred these costs to facilitate the development of our software products to add functionality we believe will lead to additional sales to customers in the financial services industry. We also entered into a fixed price professional services arrangement in the third quarter of 2002 in which our costs exceeded revenues by $37,234 as a result of additional work performed which was not originally anticipated by us in the initial scope of work. In the third quarter of 2002 we entered into an arrangement with a customer to provide a software solution, including custom programming services, in connection with Nokia’s Nokia Game. We recognized the license revenue and the professional services revenue on a percent completed basis, which was 100% complete at year-end. We recognized a gross margin of 1.4% on the professional services portion of the contract. Including revenue from this contract that was recorded as license revenue, the gross margin on the entire contract was 49%. Excluding these three contracts, direct project costs of professional services revenues would have been 50% of net professional service revenues for 2002.

 

22


Cost of support and maintenance revenue was $153,533 for the year ended December 31, 2002, or 50% of net support and maintenance revenues, compared to $281,938, or 235% of net support and maintenance fees for the year ended December 31, 2001. The decrease in absolute dollars in 2002 was a result of cost saving measures we implemented in the third quarter of 2001 to reduce our fixed costs in this organization through the reduction in headcount by the consolidation of responsibilities, resulting in a reduction of $84,831 in compensation costs and $16,656 in consulting fees in 2002.

 

Operating Expenses:

 

Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of employee compensation, cost of travel, advertising and public relations costs, trade show expenses, user conferences, and costs of marketing materials. Sales and marketing expenses were $1,827,190 for the year ended December 31, 2002, or 54% of net revenues, compared to $917,361, or 85% of net revenues for the year ended December 31, 2001. During the second quarter of 2002, Jabber opened a sales and marketing office in Europe in order to facilitate our emerging European market and incurred $227,884 in costs, primarily employee compensation, associated with these operations in 2002. We also incurred $120,371 in additional cost, net of conference fees, in 2002 in connection with our European Jabber users conference. In addition, the increase in absolute dollars for 2002 was also attributable to (i) incurring $237,008 more in commission and bonus expense; (ii) an increase in compensation expense of $111,860 primarily due to the addition of a VP of Sales in 2002; (iii) an increase of $46,892 in travel expense due to increased pre-sales calls in 2002; (iv) an increase in contract labor of $49,690 primarily associated with telemarketing sales and business development activities; and (v) an increase in severance costs of $27,153 due to a reduction in staff in July and August of 2002. We expect Jabber’s sales and marketing expenses to increase on an absolute dollar basis in future periods as Jabber continues to market its products and services, develop business relationships and execute its sales plan.

 

Product development expenses consist primarily of employee compensation and programming fees relating to the development, maintenance and enhancement of the features and functionality of Jabber’s software products. During 2002 and 2001, all product development costs were expensed as incurred. Product development expenses were $2,193,881 for the year ended December 31, 2002, or 65% of net revenues, compared to $2,719,204 or 252% of net revenues for the year ended December 31, 2001. During 2002, we reduced headcount by four employees in the first eight months of 2002 and we reduced contracted labor costs by consolidating several management positions and replacing them with less expensive software engineers. As a result, in 2002 we reduced employee compensation expense and contract labor expense by $90,162 and $140,821, respectively. In addition, our product development group worked on more professional services contracts in 2002 in which $397,774 more in costs were charged to cost of professional service revenue. Product development expenses were further reduced in 2002 by (i) a decrease in travel expense of $12,146; and (ii) a decrease in employee relocation expense of $12,000. These decreases were partially offset by increases in 2002 by (i) $46,785 in purchased software costs we incorporated into our product offerings; (ii) bonus expense of $46,327; and (iii) $40,898 incurred for consulting fees related to Jabber’s efforts to have the Jabber XMPP protocol declared an internet standard by the Internet Engineering Task Force.

 

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of employee compensation, consulting expenses, fees for professional services, and non-cash expenses related to stock and warrants issued for services. General and administrative expenses were $3,694,568 for the year ended December 31, 2002, or 109% of net revenues, compared with $5,903,062, or 547% of net revenues for the year ended December 31, 2001. General and administrative expenses specifically related or allocated to Jabber were $2,185,957 for the year ended December 31, 2002, compared to $2,206,438 for the year ended December 31, 2001.

 

General and administrative expenses specifically related or allocated to Webb, primarily for general corporate activities, were $1,508,611 for the twelve-months ended December 31, 2002, compared with $3,696,624 for the year ended December 31, 2001. General and administrative expenses were reduced primarily as a result of cost saving measures implemented in the fourth quarter of 2001 and a general reduction in costs associated with supporting a smaller organization since the termination of our AccelX business in October 2001. We reduced headcount from 18 to five employees between the first quarter of 2001 and the second quarter of 2002, which resulted in a reduction in 2002 of $1,012,206 in compensation and other employee related and travel expenses. General and administrative expenses were further reduced in 2002 as a result of (i) a decrease of $351,250 in office rent due to the assignment of the lease to Jabber and a sublease of space from Jabber at a reduced monthly cost; (ii) incurring $321,080 less in registration penalty fees to an investor because of a delay in registering the shares of our

 

23


common stock issuable upon conversion of our series C-1 preferred stock in 2001; (iii) a decrease of non-cash expense associated with stock and warrants issued for services of $294,945; (iv) a reduction of $254,016 in consulting fees incurred for investor relations; (v) a reduction of $180,576 for computer hardware and software expenses including support agreements and outsourced hosting services; and (vi) a decrease of $52,558 for contract labor associated with outsourced human resource and recruiting services incurred in 2001.

 

Depreciation and amortization was $1,215,794 for the year ended December 31, 2002, compared to $2,047,128 for the year ended December 31, 2001. During the year ended December 31, 2002, Jabber recorded amortization expense totaling $727,301, respectively, related to intangible assets compared to $1,546,749 for the year ended December 31, 2001. As of December 31, 2002, Jabber’s intangible assets were fully amortized.

 

Other Income and Expenses:

 

Interest income was $36,926 for the year ended December 31, 2002, compared to $118,479 for the year ended December 31, 2001. We earn interest by investing surplus cash in highly liquid investment funds or AAA or similarly rated commercial paper.

 

Interest expense was $637,184 for the year ended December 31, 2002, compared to $3,312,054 for the year ended December 31, 2001. The decrease in interest expense is a result of the repayment of a portion of our 10% convertible note payable and exchange of the balance into convertible preferred stock in March 2002; the repayment of short-term notes payable during the first quarter of 2002; and the conversion of the Jabber convertible note payable to Jabber’s common stock in April 2002. As of December 31, 2002, we do not have any remaining outstanding debt obligations. Interest expense is summarized in the following table:

Loss on debt extinguishment was $1,162,934 for the year ended December 31, 2002. The loss on debt extinguishment was comprised of $625,164 resulting from consummating a transaction in March 2002, with the holder of our 10% convertible note in which $1,212,192 of the outstanding principal was exchanged for 1,984 shares of our series D preferred stock. The loss was calculated by multiplying the increase in the number of common shares issuable upon conversion by the fair market value of our common stock on the date the transaction closed. We recorded an additional loss on debt extinguishment of $537,770 for the value of the warrant issued in connection with the exchange for series D preferred stock. The value of the warrant was computed using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. See Financial Statements—Note 7 to Notes to Audited Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of this transaction.

 

Minority Interest:

 

Minority interest arises from the allocation of losses in Jabber to its minority stockholders. Minority stockholders of Jabber include holders of Jabber’s common stock, holders of Jabber’s series B preferred stock, and the holder of 25 shares of Jabber’s series C preferred stock. We allocate a portion of Jabber’s net losses to the minority shareholders to the extent of their share in the net assets of Jabber. For the year ended December 31, 2002, we allocated $2,049,257 of Jabber’s losses to its minority stockholders, compared to $389,509 for year ended December 31, 2001. As a result of the transaction entered into with FTTI as discussed below, losses allocated to minority interest for the 2002 twelve month period included $1,611,869 of Jabber’s losses allocated to FTTI which represents the difference between the Jabber losses allocated to FTTI prior to the transaction and the amount of Jabber losses that would have been allocated to FTTI had the transaction occurred from inception of the FTTI investment in Jabber (the FTTI catch-up).

 

On April 8, 2002, we entered into an agreement with Jabber and FTTI, pursuant to which Webb and FTTI agreed to convert substantially all of their respective shares of Jabber’s preferred stock into shares of Jabber’s common stock as of April 29, 2002. As part of the agreement, the pledge by Webb to FTTI of 1,400,000 shares of Webb’s Jabber preferred stock was terminated, Webb exchanged the principal and interest of a $1,100,000 note

 

25


payable from Jabber for shares of Jabber’s common stock at $1.00 per share and FTTI converted the principal and interest on a Jabber convertible note for $100,000 into shares of Jabber’s common stock, also at $1.00 per share.

 

Additionally, Webb recorded $3,043,038 as an increase to additional paid-in capital in accordance with SAB 51. The amount was computed as the difference between FTTI’s minority interest balance after the transaction and allocation of the FTTI catch-up and multiplying Jabber’s net worth at April 29, 2002, by FTTI’s ownership percentage after the transaction.

 

In a separate transaction, Webb acquired all of the shares of Jabber’s common stock and preferred stock owned by DiamondCluster, valued at $759,503, in consideration for which Webb issued to DiamondCluster 911,645 shares of Webb’s common stock at $0.67 per share. The resulting difference between the value of the Webb shares issued and the value of the Jabber securities acquired was $122,451, resulting in a reduction in the cost basis for Jabber’s property and equipment and intangible assets, of $86,898 and $35,553, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2002, we recorded $25,180 less in depreciation expense and $35,553 less in amortization expense as a result of this transaction.

 

As a result of the transactions discussed above, through December 31, 2002, we had allocated Jabber’s losses to FTTI to the full extent of its minority interest in Jabber represented by the value of Jabber common stock owned by FTTI. Consequently, unless FTTI or other potential investors purchase Jabber securities that permit for the allocation of Jabber losses to those investors, the amount of Jabber losses allocated to minority shareholders in future periods will be limited to the series C preferred stock investor.

The common stock and series B preferred stock owned by FTTI is subject to anti-dilution protection should Jabber issue stock at less than $1.00 per share, or adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends and other similar transactions. In such an event, Jabber may incur a significant non-cash charge as a result of the issuance of additional shares to FTTI.

 

Preferred Stock Accretion Expense and Dividends:

 

The terms of our preferred stock grant the holders the right to convert the preferred stock into shares of our common stock at specified conversion prices. In each issuance of preferred stock, the conversion price has included a beneficial conversion feature because the value of the common stock resulting from a theoretical conversion of the preferred stock on the issuance date was greater than the allocated value of the preferred stock.

 

GAAP requires us to record the beneficial conversion feature, other deemed dividends, the value of warrants and, in most instances, the cash offering costs as additional preferred stock dividends. This non-cash charge to net loss applicable to common stockholders is labeled “Accretion of preferred stock to redemption value” in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.

 

Accretion expense was $648,710 for the year ended December 31, 2002. We recorded accretion expense of $479,442 as a result of the reset of the conversion price of our series C-1 preferred stock in January 2002, from $2.50 per share to $1.00 per share. The accretion expense was calculated by multiplying the increase in the number of common shares issuable upon conversion by the fair market value of our common stock on the commitment date. The accretion expense was limited to the net proceeds from the sale of the series C-1 preferred stock less the total accretion expense recorded in previous periods. We also recorded accretion expense in 2002 of $148,259 and $21,009 for the resets of the series C-1 preferred stock and series B preferred stock warrants, respectively. The accretion expense was calculated by computing the difference between the warrant value immediately preceding and after the reset using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Refer to Financial Statements—Note 11 to Notes to Audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the calculation of these charges.

 

During 2001, we recorded accretion expense totaling $3,048,414, including $1,970,558 related to the issuance of our series C-1 preferred stock and $886,069 related to the reset of the conversion price of our series B-2 preferred stock on February 28, 2001, and $191,788 in December 2001, from the exchange of 200 shares of series B-2 preferred stock for 350,205 shares of our common stock.

 

The series D junior preferred stock issued in the first quarter of 2002 was also subject to anti-dilution protection in the event we issue common stock at prices less than the current conversion price for the preferred stock or the then current price for our common stock and for stock splits, stock dividends and other similar transactions. The anti-dilution protection expires on January 17, 2004.

 

We may also incur additional preferred stock accretion expense in future periods as a result of the convertible preferred stock Jabber issued in connection with the investment by FTTI in Jabber. The accretion expense, if any, in future periods as a result of this transaction or the issuance of other securities with similar terms may be significant.

 

The terms of Jabber’s series B preferred stock provided for an 8% cumulative dividend. For the year ended December 31, 2002, we recorded $125,187 of preferred stock dividends, all of which are payable to third parties. In addition, Jabber’s series C preferred stock also provided for an 8% cumulative dividend. The series C preferred stock dividends totaled $419,217 for year ended December 31, 2002, respectively, of which $418,455 was eliminated in consolidation as the dividends were payable to Webb.

Net Loss Applicable to Common Stockholders:

 

Net loss applicable to common stockholders was $6,873,818 for the year ended December 31, 2002, compared with $24,528,457 for the year ended December 31, 2001. Jabber’s net loss applicable to common stockholders for the year ended December 31, 2002, was $5,275,830 including $324,671 in non-cash preferred stock dividend expense, compared with net loss applicable to common stockholders of $7,762,268 for the year ended December 31, 2001.

 

The decrease in losses for the year ended December 31, 2002, was primarily a result of (i) incurring $7,283,712 less in operating losses for our AccelX operations as a result of the termination of this business segment in October 2001; (ii) incurring $2,674,870 less in interest expense as the notes payable were either repaid or exchanged for preferred stock; (iii) an increase in Jabber’s gross margin of $1,898,667, primarily as a result of increased revenues and a change in the revenue mix from lower margin professional service fees to higher margin software license fee revenues; (iv) a decrease in operating expenses of $1,267,009 as a result of scaling back Webb operations; and (v) a decrease in depreciation and amortization expense of $855,003. These reductions in 2002 were partially offset by $1,162,934 more in non-cash charges related to a loss on debt extinguishment.

 

Included in net losses allocable to common stockholders are non-cash expenses for transactions related to acquisitions, financing, and securities we issued for services as summarized in the following table:

Due to the termination of our AccelX business segment on October 16, 2001, continuing operations of Webb refer to the Jabber business segment and Webb’s corporate activities. Jabber commenced operations in May 2000, and was a development-stage enterprise through March 2001, at which time it released its initial proprietary IM software product.

License revenues represent fees earned for granting customers licenses to use Jabber software products. During the second quarter of 2001, Jabber began licensing products based on a perpetual license, concurrent user pricing model. For the year 2001, Jabber recognized $767,556 in license revenue, comprised primarily of $250,000 of software license revenue from licenses to Buena Vista Internet Group, a Walt Disney Company; $235,000 from licenses to BellSouth; and $87,800 from a license to FT. Software revenue recognized in 2000 was from a single license of Jabber’s IM client software for $15,000 and from a one-time source code license fee by Webb of $10,000 for a product previously sold by a company acquired by Webb in 1999.

 

Professional service revenue represents fees earned for custom programming, installation and integration services of Jabber software products, generally with larger enterprise organizations. Professional service revenues were $191,861 for the year ended December 31, 2001, which represents a 35% decrease when compared with $292,970 for the year ended December 31, 2000. During 2001, we earned $92,736 in fees from Lift-Off BV for integration of our commercial server software used in connection with Nokia’s igame and $67,375 recognized in the first quarter of 2001 from go.com, a Walt Disney company, for custom programming related to the open-source IM software product, which commenced in July 2000. During 2000, professional service revenue was primarily from two contracts in which Jabber customized its commercial server and the open-source IM software.

 

Support and maintenance fee revenues are derived from annual support and maintenance contracts associated with the sale of Jabber’s software products and customized month-to-month support agreements with customers generally billed on a time and material basis. Annual fees for support and maintenance are generally 15% to 20% of the license fee revenue and the related revenue is recognized over the term of the contract. Customers may purchase support and/or maintenance contracts for which they receive telephone support and product updates and upgrades during the term of the agreement. Customers are not obligated to purchase support and maintenance. Support and maintenance fees were $119,920 for the year ended December 31, 2001, of which $100,420 was from annual agreements and $19,500 was from time and material contracts. Support and maintenance fees were $12,905 for the year ended December 31, 2000, all of which was derived from time and material contracts.

 

29


Included in net revenues for the year ended December 31, 2001, are $87,800 in license revenue and $31,039 in support and maintenance fee revenue from FT, an investor in Jabber. In February 2001, FT entered into a software license agreement whereby FT licensed Jabber’s commercial server software and Jabber IM source code. Jabber recognized the license fee of $73,746 as revenue upon delivery of the products. In connection with the license agreements, FT entered into a one-year support and maintenance agreement for the commercial server software, valued at $33,998. Jabber recognized service revenue from the support and maintenance agreement over the term of the agreement, which totaled $27,200 through October 31, 2001. In October 2001, Jabber and FT entered into a software distribution license agreement and paid an incremental one-time license fee of $14,054. Simultaneously, FT entered into a one-year support and maintenance agreement, valued at $23,000. Jabber recognized service revenue from the support and maintenance agreement totaling $3,839 through December 31, 2001. With the consummation of the second license agreement, the February 2001 agreements were terminated. All revenue related to FT has been paid in cash.

 

Cost of Revenues:

 

Cost of license revenues consists of shipping costs to deliver software products net of amounts billed to customers.

 

Cost of professional service revenues consists of compensation costs and consulting fees associated with performing custom programming, installation and integration services for Jabber’s customers. Cost of professional service revenues was $409,273 for the year ended December 31, 2001, or 213% of net professional service revenues, compared to $386,534 for the year ended December 31, 2000, or 132% of net professional service revenues. Cost of support and maintenance revenue was $281,938 for the year ended December 31, 2001, or 235% of net support and maintenance revenues, compared to $107,768 for the year ended December 31, 2000. In the third and fourth quarter of 2000, Jabber established separate professional service and support organizations in anticipation of higher sales volume. As a result, Jabber incurred fixed expenses of $343,463 which were comprised primarily of employee compensation and other employee related costs. At the beginning of September 2001, Jabber reduced the monthly fixed cost by approximately $33,000 through the elimination of five positions and the consolidation of responsibilities.

 

Operating Expenses:

 

Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of employee compensation, cost of travel, advertising and public relations costs, trade show expenses, and costs of marketing materials. Sales and marketing expenses were $917,361 for the year ended December 31, 2001, or 85% of net revenues, compared to $468,972, or 142% of net revenues for the year ended December 31, 2000. The increase in absolute dollars is primarily attributable to incurring $480,524 more in compensation costs, as Jabber hired five employees from the fourth quarter of 2000 through 2001 and Jabber also incurred $25,000 more for travel related expenses in support of sales efforts. These increases were partially offset by decreases in consulting and trade show expenses of $94,707 and $46,005, respectively.

 

Product development expenses consist primarily of employee compensation and programming fees relating to the development and enhancement of the features and functionality of Jabber’s software products. During 2001 and 2000, all product development costs were expensed as incurred. Product development expenses were $2,719,204 for the year ended December 31, 2001, or 252% of net revenues, compared to $1,416,590, or 428% of net revenues for 2000. During the third quarter of 2000, Jabber started assembling its product development organization and competed the build-out in December 2000. Consequently, product development expenses were minimal during the first two quarters of 2000. The absolute dollar increase was due primarily to increases in employee compensation expense of $1,403,757 as a result of hiring 18 employees beginning in the third quarter of 2000 through the third quarter of 2001. Jabber also incurred $51,351 more in computer lease and third-party software expenses in 2001. These increases were partially offset by decreases in 2001 of $140,293 for contract labor expense and $75,357 for travel expenses.

 

30


We are required by GAAP to evaluate Jabber’s product life cycle to determine if product development expenditures should be capitalized and subsequently amortized to cost of software revenues over the useful life of the software. In making such a determination, management must exercise judgment with respect to determining when the software has reached technological feasibility, the nature of the particular enhancement as well as the economic useful life of the software and/or the related enhancement. Given the early stage of adoption of enterprise-based instant messaging and Jabber’s rapidly evolving product offerings, it is difficult to estimate the economic life of Jabber’s software products. However, Jabber’s management has estimated that the economic life is very short, and the economic life of any enhancements would not exceed 12 months. Consequently, Jabber has expensed product development costs in the period incurred.

 

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of employee compensation, consulting expenses, fees for professional services, and non-cash expense related to stock and warrants issued for services. General and administrative expenses were $5,903,062 for the year ended December 31, 2001, or 547% of net revenues, compared with $9,411,549 for the year ended December 31, 2000, or 2,844% of net revenues for 2000. General and administrative expenses specifically related or allocated to Jabber were $2,206,438 for the year ended December 31, 2001, compared to $4,682,641 for the year ended December 31, 2000. The decrease in 2001 is primarily due to a reduction in consulting expenses. In 2000, Jabber incurred $2.8 million in consulting fees with DiamondCluster in connection with the development of its business plan, of which $690,000 was paid in securities of Jabber in the third quarter of 2001. Jabber incurred $758,907 for its share of Webb’s corporate expenses, a decrease of $176,038 from 2000, comprised primarily of employee wages and other employee related expenses. In addition, Jabber incurred $261,090 of non-cash expenses in 2001 for Jabber common stock it granted to two Jabber employees, an officer of Webb, and other third parties, which represents a decrease of $45,247 from 2000. These decreases were partially offset by increases in employee compensation expense of $387,095, as Jabber hired five employees from the fourth quarter of 2000 through the end of 2001, including a chief executive officer and a chief financial officer.

 

General and administrative expenses specifically related or allocated to Webb, primarily for general corporate activities, were $3,696,624 for the year ended December 31, 2001, compared with $4,728,908 for the year ended December 31, 2000. General and administrative expenses were reduced in 2001 as a result of (i) incurring $372,185 less in non-cash expenses related to the reset of series B preferred stock warrants; (ii) incurring $408,731 less in non-cash compensation expenses to financial service firms and consultants from the issuance of Webb’s securities for payment of services; (iii) a decrease of $458,825 in employee compensation from the reduction of annual bonuses and the elimination of five employees; (iv) a reduction in accrued bonuses of $130,406; (v) a reduction in expenses for our annual report and shareholder meeting of $110,978; (vi) a decrease in expenses for Nasdaq listing fees of $77,212 we incurred in the second quarter of 2000 to move from the SmallCap Market to the National Market; and (vii) a reduction in investor relation expenses of $82,058. These reductions were partially off-set by (i) registration penalties incurred in 2001 to an investor totaling $307,315 because of a delay in registering the shares of our common stock issuable upon conversion of our series C-1 preferred stock; (ii) the forfeiture of $475,000 of lease collateral in connection with a negotiated reduction in annual lease expenses; (iii) an increase in accounting fees of $101,139; (iv) an increase in rent expense of $51,085 as we moved to a new office in May 2000, which resulted in both higher rental rates and an increase in the amount of space rented; and (v) a decrease in general and administrative expenses allocated to Jabber of $131,038.

 

Depreciation and amortization was $2,047,128 for the year ended December 31, 2001, compared to $2,057,900 for the year ended December 31, 2000. During 2001, Jabber recorded amortization expense totaling $1,546,749 related to intangible assets acquired from Durand Communications. These intangible assets were contributed to Jabber in July 2000, at Webb’s carry-over basis. Included in loss from discontinued operations is amortization expense totaling $1,503,639 for our AccelX business related to intangible assets and goodwill we acquired from Durand Communications (prior to July 2000), NetIgnite and Update Systems. At December 31, 2001, our intangible assets total $727,301, which will be fully amortized on June 30, 2002.

Other Income and Expenses:

 

Interest income was $118,479 for the year ended December 31, 2001, compared to $731,808 for the year ended December 31, 2000. We earn interest by investing surplus cash in highly liquid investment funds or AAA or similarly rated commercial paper.

 

Interest expense was $3,312,054 for the year ended December 31, 2001, compared to $1,124,011 for the year ended December 31, 2000. We recorded interest expense related to the convertible note payable issued by Jabber totaling $45,834 for the year ended December 31, 2001. In connection with the issuance of Jabber preferred stock in July 2001, $41,000 of this interest was converted into 41 shares of Jabber’s series B preferred stock. We recorded $42,442 of interest expense for 2001 related to the short-term notes payable, including $36,738 of non-cash interest expense for the amortization of the associated deferred financing costs and discount. We recorded the following interest expense related to the 10% convertible note payable:

The 10% convertible note payable was initially convertible into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $10.07 per share. The conversion price is subject to anti-dilution protection in the event we issue common stock at prices less than the conversion price for the 10% convertible note payable or the then current price for our common stock and for stock splits, stock dividends and other similar transactions. As a result of the private placement of preferred stock we completed in February 2001, the conversion price was reset to $2.50 per share. As a result, we recorded non-cash interest expense totaling $2,394,234 in the first quarter of 2001. As a result of the sale of preferred stock in January 2002, and the resulting reset of the conversion price to $1.00, we recorded non-cash interest expense totaling $1,124,536 in the first quarter of 2002.

 

In addition, the reduction of non-cash interest expense related to the 10% note payable discount and deferred financing assets in the 2001 periods is a result of lower balances being amortized compared with the 2000 periods due to conversions of the 10% convertible note payable. During 2001 and 2000, we recorded a charge to additional paid in capital which otherwise would have been recorded as interest expense in future periods totaling $477,718 and $1,696,431, respectively, in connection with the conversion of notes totaling $680,000 and $2,500,000, respectively. As a result of the exchange of the remaining unpaid balance of the 10% convertible note payable with series D junior preferred stock, in March 2002, we recorded non-cash interest expense related to the discount and deferred financing assets totaling $116,247 and recorded a charge to additional paid-in capital for the remaining balance totaling $121,036.

 

Other income was $25,062 for the year ended December 31, 2001, and was comprised primarily of collection of accounts receivable which were previously written off as a bad debt expense in 2000.

 

Loss on disposition of property and equipment totaled $61,783 for the year ended December 31, 2001, compared to $344,341 for the year ended December 31, 2000. The loss for 2001 resulted primarily from the sale and disposal of excess assets no longer used by Webb. The loss in 2000 was principally due to the relocation of our offices and the write off of unamortized leasehold improvements, including the cost of our computer center build-out, and disposed of existing office furnishings and equipment.

Discontinued Operations:

 

In October 2001, we terminated our AccelX local commerce business. In September 2000, we sold our e-banking segment to a privately held company.

 

The sale or termination of these segments are reflected as a sale of discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, the revenues, costs and expenses of these discontinued operations have been excluded from the respective captions in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and have been reported as “Loss from discontinued operations” for all periods presented.

We allocate a portion of Jabber’s net losses to the minority shareholders to the extent of their share in the net assets of Jabber. For the year ended December 31, 2001, we allocated $389,509 of Jabber’s losses to its minority stockholders, compared to $276,337 for the year ended December 31, 2000.

 

Preferred Stock Accretion Expense and Dividends:

 

The terms of our preferred stock grant the holders the right to convert the preferred stock into shares of our common stock at specified conversion prices. In each issuance of preferred stock, the conversion price has included a beneficial conversion feature because the value of the common stock resulting from a theoretical conversion of the preferred stock on the issuance date was greater than the allocated value of the preferred stock. In addition, if the conversion price of the preferred stock is reduced in future periods, GAAP requires us to record a deemed dividend to the preferred shareholder based upon the amount of additional shares that are issuable as a result of the change in the conversion feature.

 

GAAP requires us to record the beneficial conversion feature, other deemed dividends, the value of warrants and, in most instances, the cash offering costs as additional preferred stock dividends. This non-cash charge to net loss applicable to common stockholders is labeled “Accretion of preferred stock to stated value.”

 

During 2001, we recorded accretion expense totaling $3,048,414, including $1,970,558 related to the issuance of our series C-1 preferred stock and $886,069 related to the reset of the conversion price of our series B-2 preferred stock on February 28, 2001, and $191,788 in December 2001, from the exchange of 200 shares of series B-2 preferred stock for 350,205 shares of our common stock.

 

The series C-1 preferred stock was initially convertible into shares of our common stock at $2.50 per share. As a result of the issuance of common stock in January 2002, and in accordance with the original terms of the preferred stock, the conversion price was reset to $1.00 per share. Consequently, in the first quarter of 2002 we recorded additional accretion expense totaling $479,442. The series D junior preferred stock issued in the first quarter of 2002 is also subject to anti-dilution protection in the event we issue common stock at prices less than the current conversion price for the preferred stock or the then current price for our common stock and for stock splits, stock dividends and other similar transactions.

 

34


The terms of Jabber’s series B preferred stock provides for an 8% cumulative dividend. For the year ended December 31, 2001, we recorded $156,153 of preferred stock dividends, all of which is payable to third parties. In addition, Jabber’s series C preferred stock also provides for an 8% cumulative dividend. The series C preferred stock dividends totaled $419,217 for the year ended December 31, 2001, of which $418,455 were eliminated in consolidation as the dividend was payable to Webb.

 

Net Loss Applicable to Common Stockholders:

 

Net loss allocable to common stockholders was $24,528,457 for the year ended December 31, 2001, compared with $48,853,667 for the year ended December 31, 2000. Jabber’s net loss allocable to common stockholders for the year ended December 31, 2001, was $7,762,268, including $575,628 in non-cash preferred stock dividend expense, compared with $8,902,960 for the year ended December 31, 2000.

 

The decrease in losses for the year ended December 31, 2001, are a result primarily of incurring $13,801,363 less in operating losses for our AccelX operations as a result of cost reduction measures implemented during 2001, including employee layoffs, culminating with the termination of this business segment in October 2001. Losses for 2001 were further reduced by (i) a reduction of Webb’s general and administrative expenses in 2001 by $1,032,284 primarily from decreasing the number of employees and related corporate support costs for our AccelX business; (ii) a decrease of $8,824,797 in preferred stock dividends and preferred stock accretion expense; and (iii) an increase in Jabber’s gross margin of $551,977, primarily a result of a change in the revenue mix from lower margin professional service fees to higher volume software license fee revenues. A net reduction in Jabber’s operating expenses in 2001 totaling $1,229,293 also contributed to the reduction in losses for the year. These reductions in 2001 were partially offset by an increase of $2,188,043 in interest expense primarily resulting from the non-cash beneficial conversion feature we recorded in connection with the reset of the conversion price of our 10% note payable.

 

Included in net losses allocable to common stockholders are non-cash expenses for transactions related to acquisitions, financing, and securities we issued for services as summarized in the following table:

During 2001 and 2000, we recorded non-cash expenses for warrants issued in connection with financing transactions and to consultants for service totaling $1,109,103 and $1,714,094, respectively. We compute a theoretical value for these warrants using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The warrant value derived from this model is highly susceptible to the volatility of our common stock. The increase or decrease of the volatility rate by even a few percentage points can change the value of the warrant significantly.

BUSINESS

 

General

 

Our sole business is the ownership of securities of Jabber, Inc. (Jabber), a company we formed in February 2000. Jabber is a commercial developer of extensible instant messaging software for enterprises, carriers and service providers that require real-time communication and collaboration solutions. Jabber’s products are based on the standardized extensible message and presence protocol, XMPP, developed by the Jabber.org open-source movement. Jabber instant messaging solutions differ from packaged and consumer instant messaging solutions in the ability of Jabber instant messaging to support and to be integrated with other applications and services.

 

We were incorporated under the laws of the State of Colorado on March 22, 1994. Our executive offices are located at 1899 Wynkoop, Suite 600, Denver, Colorado 80202, telephone number (303) 308-3180.

 

Jabber Financing

 

On March 19, 2003, France Telecom Technologies Investissements (FTTI), a wholly-owned subsidiary of France Telecom, Intel Capital Corporation (Intel), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Intel Corporation, and Webb purchased $7,200,000 worth of Jabber’s shares of series D convertible preferred stock (series D preferred stock). Webb acquired its series D preferred stock in exchange for the cancellation of $2,200,000 in obligations owed to it by Jabber. The series D preferred stock is convertible into shares of Jabber’s common stock on a one-for-one basis. At March 31, 2003, Webb owned 18,390,232 shares of Jabber common stock and 7,705,779 shares of Jabber series D preferred stock, representing, on a fully converted basis, approximately 43% of Jabber’s outstanding capital stock.

 

The series D preferred stock purchase agreement contemplates the potential sale of approximately $5,500,000 worth of additional shares of series D preferred stock on the same terms as the original purchases by Webb, FTTI and Intel, including up to $2,500,000 worth of series D preferred stock pursuant to an option which will be granted to Webb if a sale to a venture capital investor, acceptable to the holders of the series D preferred stock, is consummated. The Webb option, if granted, must be exercised by January 31, 2004. The venture capital investor has not been identified and there can be no assurance that this sale will occur and, accordingly, that Webb will be granted the option to acquire additional shares of the series D preferred stock.

 

The series D preferred stock includes liquidation preferences which entitle the holders of the series D preferred stock on the liquidation of Jabber, including a sale of Jabber, to first be paid their original purchase price for the series D preferred stock and then to participate with holders of common stock on an as-converted basis in the distribution of the remaining proceeds. In the event that Jabber is acquired for a valuation greater than three times the purchase price of the series D preferred stock, then all shares of series D preferred stock would participate on an as-converted basis with the holders of Jabber’s common stock. The conversion price of the series D preferred stock would be adjusted on a weighted average basis in the event that Jabber sells shares of its common stock or securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock at a price less than the original purchase price for the series D preferred stock.

 

Without the prior approval of holders of 66 2/3% of the outstanding shares of Jabber’s series D preferred stock, Jabber may not engage in any transaction or arrangement for the distribution of Jabber’s securities to the public; permit any transaction which would result in any of the holders of the series D preferred stock owning more than 49% of Jabber’s outstanding shares of capital stock; or take any other action that would result in Jabber becoming a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In the event that an event has not occurred by January 1, 2005 that would permit Webb to distribute its Jabber securities to the Webb shareholders, Webb may require FTTI, on an annual basis until such an event shall have occurred, to sell Webb 1,000,000 shares of the Jabber common stock held by FTTI, at a purchase price equal to the conversion price for the series D preferred stock plus interest compounded at 15% per annum.

 

In connection with the transaction, an additional nominee of FTTI has been elected to the Jabber board of directors and an additional nominee acceptable to Webb, FTTI and Intel is to be elected to the Jabber board of directors. Following a sale to a venture capital investor as described above, the Jabber board of directors is to be

 

36


reduced to five persons, including one nominee for each of Webb, FTTI, the new venture capital investor and Jabber management and an independent nominee acceptable to Webb, FTTI, Intel and the venture capital investor.

 

Discontinued Operations

 

On October 16, 2001, we terminated our AccelX business and sold a portion of the assets and granted a perpetual and exclusive license for software used in this business to an unrelated party. See Financial Statements – Note 16 of Notes to Audited Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding discontinued operations.

 

Jabber, Inc.

 

The Market. Instant messaging (IM) combines communication, presence awareness and convenience to provide users with the opportunity for personal real-time interaction. Radicati Group predicts that the number of active IM accounts worldwide will grow from just 14 million in 2000 to 1.38 billion in 2004. IM has primarily been a free consumer service offered to add value to the online consumer communities of companies like AOL-Time Warner, Inc. (AOL), Microsoft Corporation and Yahoo! Inc. AOL dominates the consumer market for IM.

 

Compared to the consumer segment, we believe that the commercial segment of the IM market has been under-served. IM adds to e-mail and telephone communications technologies presence management, buddy lists and collaboration on a small or large scale. IM enables users to know when someone is available for a conversation; buddy list management allows individuals to vary their availability for interaction depending on who is seeking to communicate with them; and presence management can extend beyond the desktop to mobile devices, allowing for “find me, follow me” services. IDC’s 2001 Worldwide Messaging Applications Forecast predicts corporate IM users will grow to approximately 298 million in 2005 from approximately 7 million in 2000. Jabber is targeting the following markets:

 

    Service Providers—Consumer to Consumer. Service providers, including Internet service providers, telecommunications carriers and portals are deploying IM solutions that they can own and install in their own data centers. This allows them to tailor the offering to the service being offered, offer their customers appropriate levels of security, and leverage their existing technology investments.

 

    Business to Consumer. In the B2C market, a number of companies offering customer relationship management solutions have added real-time chat to their customer management capabilities. By capitalizing on the ability to interact in real-time, companies can decrease the time spent on simple questions, allowing for increased customer satisfaction, richer customer-client interaction and improved archiving capabilities.

 

    Business to Business. The B2B IM market is focused on improving the efficiency of communications between buyers and suppliers. IM can be used to provide secure, archived communications, document transfer and improved auction/exchange capabilities. B2B exchanges generally are based on XML technology.

 

    Employee to Employee. The basic E2E IM market takes advantage of real-time interaction to provide a complimentary communication tool to existing e-mail systems. More sophisticated E2E IM solutions can encompass groupware-style applications for document sharing and employee collaboration and management tools.

 

While Jabber’s current business opportunities are driven primarily by extensible IM software, we believe that there is an emerging market for messaging infrastructure that facilitates real-time software applications and web services. Gartner Dataquest estimates that the software portion of the web services market will be worth $1.7 billion in 2003. In November 2001, Forester Research identified the term “executable Internet,” or the “X Internet,” as an environment where dynamic services interoperate across a connected network fabric. We believe Jabber’s instant messaging solutions, including a platform for tying presence, identity, distributed services and asynchronous XML content delivery directly to other applications contains many of the underpinnings for the X Internet.

 

37


Jabber.org. Jabber.org was established in 1998 to create a new, open-source movement designed to bridge the proprietary IM networks by creating a single system capable of communicating with all IM networks and services. Jabber.org standardized on three key principles:

 

    Open-source development. Jabber.org technology is based on open-source development taking place at www.jabber.org. As an open-source movement, anyone can leverage and contribute to the future of Jabber.org. As with other popular open-source initiatives, Jabber IM is based on modular software design which facilitates quick integration of new server logic and business practices, as well as the development of new sophisticated IM-based applications.

 

    System, not a service. Jabber.org is committed to building a presence and messaging platform, not another consumer-focused IM service. Jabber IM, like e-mail, is based on a network of distributed servers which communicate with each other. As a system, it is believed that Jabber IM will be better able to accommodate differing business models, development of value-added applications and use in an application service provider environment.

 

    XML technology. Jabber.org uses XML technology for transmitting presence and messaging status in order to have a standard-based structured document as part of the native protocol of the messaging platform. By standardizing on XML, Jabber IM systems have improved cross-platform compatibility and the ability to create enhanced applications around the concepts of message warehousing, message mining and anything that requires the routing of structured content.

 

In early 1999, Webb became the commercial sponsor of Jabber.org. Webb’s initial interest in the Jabber.org technology was based on Webb’s desire to leverage the Jabber IM platform to provide IM services for Webb’s former AccelX product line which also utilized XML technology. Webb formed Jabber, Inc. as a subsidiary on February 15, 2000, in order to commercialize Jabber IM separately from its former AccelX business.

 

Relationship of Jabber.org and Jabber. Open-source software is free in the sense that the software’s source code is freely available for inspection and modification. A condition to open-source licenses under which the software is made available is that anyone who makes an improvement or modification to the software generally must contribute the improvements and modifications back to the open-source community. At the core of the open-source community is a voluntary group of people dedicated to developing a variety of software packages. The community includes the engineers who create the software, the writers who document it and the designers who create the web sites that serve as the community’s home on the internet. Jabber is a commercial sponsor of the Jabber.org open-source movement. This sponsorship includes dedicating the services of a number of Jabber’s employees to work on XMPP-related projects, promoting the more rapid deployment of the XMPP protocol, making financial contributions to cover travel and other costs of members of the community so that they can attend community activities and sponsoring award programs in order to recognize contributions to the XMPP protocol by members of the community.

 

Jabber.org software is provided to the community and others under the Jabber Open Source License (JOSL), an Open Source Initiative approved open-source license. Like other open-source licenses, the JOSL requires that modifications or improvements to the core Jabber IM software be contributed back to the community. The JOSL, like some other more recent open-source licenses, has a narrower definition of derivative works than does the GNU General Public License, one of the first and best known open-source licenses. This allows code to be linked to the core open-source software without requiring that the linked code be covered by the JOSL and, therefore, to be made freely available. Software developed by Jabber may be released under the JOSL or under commercial license agreements that do not make the software code freely available. For example, the Jabber Commercial Server IM software is made available only pursuant to a commercial license which does not include free access to the source code. The Jabber Commercial Server software is, however, fully compatible with the free Jabber IM software.

 

Jabber considers its relationship with the Jabber.org open-source community to be one of the key factors distinguishing it from other companies offering IM solutions. Jabber intends to continue its active support and contributions to the Jabber.org community.

Jabber Strategy. Jabber develops and markets proprietary, extensible presence-based communication solutions. Jabber’s primary goals are first to become a premier provider of instant messaging-based collaboration solutions by selling commercial-grade Jabber IM software, solutions and hosting for large enterprises, wired and wireless service providers, original equipment manufacturers, and independent software vendors. Jabber’s longer-term goal is to extend the use of the Jabber IM platform as infrastructure to device-to-device and application-to-application communications. Jabber’s strategy for achieving these goals include:

 

    Creating distribution, hosting and technology partnerships both domestically and internationally in order to more rapidly build product and brand awareness.

 

    Positioning Jabber commercial technology as an extensible platform that allows for incorporation of new and emerging technologies such as IP telephony and device-based embedded messaging capabilities.

 

    Promoting the adoption of Jabber open-source protocol (XMPP) and leveraging that adoption through brand association to drive sales of Jabber’s proprietary products and services.

 

    Promoting use of Jabber commercial technology by service providers in order to increase more rapidly the number of individual users of Jabber IM.

 

    Accelerating the adoption of the XMPP protocol by other open-source movements to increase the awareness of the Jabber brand and to reduce the possibility of the creation of a competing open-source movement.

 

    Leveraging the fact that there is no industry standard for an IM person-to-person protocol to increase demand for XMPP, the only open-source based IM solution.

 

There currently is no standard protocol enabling interoperability between various IM systems in a manner similar to that for e-mail. The lack of interoperability has been highly publicized, with many proprietary IM systems attempting to create interoperability with AOL’s IM communities. The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) is considering a number of submissions for proposals for setting standards for an IM person-to-person protocol. Jabber has submitted the Jabber open source protocol (XMPP) to the IETF as a historical reference as the first step toward efforts to have the Jabber open source protocol become an adopted standard. In October 2002, the IETF granted a working group status to the XMPP standards track effort. We cannot predict when a standard will be ratified by the IETF, or whether XMPP will be ratified as an adopted standard.

 

Jabber has joined the Wireless Village/OMA consortium to participate in the development of inter-operable real-time messaging applications and services for wireless networks and devices and is involved in Sun Microsystems’ Liberty Alliance initiative. These standards and consortia initiatives are part of Jabber’s efforts to increase the adoption of the Jabber open-source XMPP protocol.

 

We believe it is important for Jabber to establish strategic relationships with major companies that are part of or provide products and services to Jabber’s targeted markets in order to promote the use and adoption of Jabber’s products and to assist Jabber in its effort to promote the adoption of standards. In 2001, France Telecom Technologies Investissements, an investment subsidiary of France Telecom, acquired a minority interest in Jabber, Inc. In March 2003, FTTI increased its investment in Jabber and Jabber received an investment from Intel Capital Corporation, an investment subsidiary of Intel Corporation.

 

Products and Services. Jabber provides commercial-grade presence and messaging solutions, comprised of servers, clients and server modules. On March 1, 2001 Jabber introduced the Jabber Commercial Server, a highly scaleable Jabber server that provides the foundation for current and future server products. The Jabber Commercial Server provides enterprises and service providers with enhanced performance, scalability, reliability and security compared to the Jabber open source server that is provided free pursuant to the Jabber Open Source License. The Jabber Commercial Server, which is capable of accommodating over 200,000 concurrent users on both the Linux and Solaris operating systems, is fully compatible with the Jabber XMPP protocol and provides complete interoperability with Jabber open-source servers.

 

39


Jabber clients, software which runs on personal computers, provide a range of IM features across a number of platforms, including Windows 95/98/2000, Web Browsers, Linux, Mozilla and Palm Operating Systems. Jabber clients include software licensed for free as well as for a fee pursuant to a Jabber commercial license. Clients have been developed directly by Jabber, its customers and by members of the Jabber.org community.

 

Jabber modules provide additional functions. Modules may be distributed with the Jabber Commercial Server or may be provided on an optional basis. Modules currently include:

 

    an LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) module which enables account information to be stored by the Jabber Commercial Server in the internet standard LDAP;

 

    an SQL Database module which makes existing account information in a company database accessible for use in setting up Jabber accounts;

 

    a Message Archive module which supports archiving messages in an Oracle database;

 

    a Wireless Gateway that extends the Jabber platform to the mobile marketplace; and

 

    a Messaging Filtering module which enables a Jabber Commercial Server to establish rules to filter messages based on content and origin.

 

Jabber also provides professional services to help commercial enterprises, internet service providers and portal companies and other service companies understand, install, configure, customize and manage their Jabber IM systems and services.

 

Marketing. Jabber’s initial marketing activities focused on accelerating the adoption of the XMPP protocol, generating brand and product awareness, accelerating the adoption of Jabber instant messaging by other open-source movements and providing professional services to businesses wishing to test the Jabber instant messaging platform. The Jabber.org developer network and the Jabber Foundation are key sources of product and service innovation, as well as vehicles for promoting the Jabber IM protocol as an industry-wide solution to the current situation of disparate disconnected islands of IM users. To date, the Jabber.org movement has been Jabber’s primary source of sales leads. Jabberñ is a registered trademark of Jabber, Inc.

 

Jabber’s marketing and sales efforts emphasize its commercial server product as a software platform which is easily leveraged by or integrated into other applications and services to provide flexible and easily customized IM solutions. This distinguishes Jabber’s products from many of its competitors who emphasize packaged IM solutions. Jabber’s proprietary IM software addresses the needs of the emerging web services market by offering:

 

    An XML routing engine capable of resolving disparate software and communications protocols, while enabling dynamic client server and peer-to-peer services.

 

    Presence management and identity services that authenticate users, applications and devices in a secure, highly scalable client-server architecture.

 

    An open easy to use protocol.

 

Jabber’s sales strategy is to utilize both direct and indirect sales channels. The direct sales channel targets large enterprises, wired and wireless service providers and original equipment manufacturers in various vertical markets where Jabber believes there are significant demands for commercial-grade instant messaging solutions. The indirect sales channel consists of distribution partnerships with software integrators and application service providers with established business relationships.

 

Jabber’s marketing activities include selectively purchasing paid banner placement and white papers syndication opportunities on web sites where commercial developers are found, attendance at trade shows and

 

40


developing public relations programs featuring the Jabber.org open-source movement. A limited use, Linux version of the server is available for free on the Jabber.com site to make it easy for companies to evaluate the commercial code.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2002, the following customers accounted for more than 10% of Jabber’s revenues: France Telecom and subsidiaries – 25%; AT&T Corp. – 19%; Bell South – 14%; and Benjamens Van Doorn EURO RSCG BV – 12%. Jabber expects current customers to account for a substantial portion of its revenues for the year ending December 31, 2003. There is no assurance that Jabber will be able to retain major customers or attract additional major customers. The loss of major customers could have a material adverse effect on Jabber’s operating results and cash flow from operations.

 

Trademarks and Proprietary Protection. Jabber relies primarily on a combination of copyright, trade secret, trademark laws, and nondisclosure and other contractual provisions to protect its proprietary rights. As a part of Jabber’s confidentiality procedures, Jabber generally enters into written nondisclosure and nonsolicitation agreements with its officers and employees which restrict the use and disclosure of proprietary information and the solicitation of customers for the purpose of selling competing products or services. Jabber generally has not entered into noncompetition agreements with its employees other than its executive officers. Because the policing of proprietary rights may be difficult and the ideas and other aspects underlying Jabber’s products and services may not in all cases be protectable under intellectual property laws, there can be no assurance that Jabber could prevent competitors from marketing the same or similar products and services. In addition, competitors may independently develop products and services that compete with Jabber’s products and services.

 

Competition. The instant messaging market can be described in terms of consumer and commercial market segments. The consumer space is principally characterized by personal interactions between family, friends and individuals with shared interests. The enterprise space is far more diverse, encompassing all business-to-consumer, employee-to-employee and business-to-business communication. Instant messaging systems and vendors currently form a highly fragmented landscape capable of only the most basic level of interoperability. There is no standard protocol enabling interoperability between instant messaging systems in a manner similar to that of email protocols such as SMPT. The lack of interoperability has been highly publicized in the media, with many instant messaging companies attempting to create interoperability with the instant messaging systems provided by AOL. AOL has substantially more instant messaging users than any other company providing instant messaging services. In addition to AOL, other large companies that Jabber competes with include Microsoft Corporation, IBM and Yahoo! Inc. Jabber distinguishes its instant messaging products and services primarily on the basis of:

 

    Being the only open standards-based provider of instant messaging systems;

 

    Use of XML-based technologies;

 

    Focus on commercial market segments;

 

    Ease of customization; and

 

    Flexibility and ease of use.

 

Jabber’s current and prospective competitors include many companies that have substantially greater financial, technical, marketing, and other resources than Jabber does. Jabber believes that competition for all elements of its business will intensify in the future. Increased competition could result in price reductions and increased spending on marketing and product development. Any of these events could have a material adverse effect on Jabber’s financial condition and operating results. There is no assurance that Jabber will be able to compete successfully against current and future competitors or that competitive pressures faced by Jabber will not materially adversely affect Jabber’s business, financial condition and results of operations. Jabber believes that the primary factors that will impact competition include: the extent to which its working capital permits it to respond to competition as it develops; Jabber’s technical and product development expertise; the ability to easily customize Jabber’s products and to integrate them with products developed by others; the price of Jabber’s products and services; Jabber’s sales and marketing and customer support capabilities; and the scalability, reliability and security of Jabber’s products and services.

 

Government Regulation. Jabber’s products and services are not currently subject to direct regulation by the Federal Communications Commission or any other federal or state agency, other than regulations applicable to

 

41


businesses generally. Changes in the regulatory environment relating to the Internet could have a material adverse effect on Jabber’s business. Jabber cannot predict the impact, if any, that future regulation or regulatory changes may have on its business.

 

Employees

 

At March 31, 2003, Webb employed four full-time employees, all in management and administration positions, and Jabber employed 41 full-time employees, which included seven in management and administration, five in sales and marketing, and 29 in product services and development. In addition to these company personnel, Jabber contracts with other creative and production resources, as required for peak load situations. Jabber’s employees are not represented by a labor union, and it considers its employee relations to be good.

 

Property and Facilities

 

The Webb and Jabber offices are located in approximately 21,400 square feet of space in Denver, Colorado, leased for a term ending in August 2004 at a base monthly rental of $35,000.

Board of Director Compensation

 

Members of our board of directors do not receive cash compensation for their services as directors, but they are reimbursed for their reasonable expenses in attending board meetings. During 2002, we issued options to our non-employee directors for their services. Robert J. Lewis received an option to purchase 50,000 shares; Richard C. Jennewine received an option to purchase 65,000 shares; and Robert R. Lacey received an option to purchase 50,000 shares. The exercise price of each option is $1.00 per share. The term of each option is seven years.

 

Employment and Change of Control Agreements

 

We have entered into employment agreements with William R. Cullen and Lindley S. Branson. The agreements terminate on March 1, 2005. If we (or a successor entity) terminate their employment without cause or if the employees terminate their employment for good reason, then we (or the successor entity) must continue to pay the employee’s salary in the month of termination and for the following nine months.

 

In the event of a change in control of 30% or more of our outstanding stock, the agreements provide for continued employment (at similar responsibility and salary levels) for a period of three years after the change of control. During this three-year period, if we (or a successor entity) terminate either employee’s employment without cause or if the employee terminates his employment for good reason, then we (or the successor entity) must pay a lump sum severance to the employee equal to three years’ salary (including bonus), accelerate the vesting of all outstanding options held by the employee and allow the employee to continue to participate in our benefit and welfare plans (or those of the successor entity) for a period of three years after the employment terminates.

 

Each employment agreement restricts the employee’s ability to compete with us for a one-year period after the termination of his employment.

 

Certain Transactions

 

William R. Cullen, our President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and a director, owed us $174,947 as of April 30, 2003. This obligation accrues interest at a rate of 8% per year, is full recourse and is payable on demand. This debt arose between April and November 2000, and the terms of this loan have not been modified since the obligation was incurred. We believe that this transaction is on terms no less favorable than could be obtained from an unaffiliated third party. The board of directors has determined that any transactions with officers, directors or principal shareholders will be approved by the disinterested directors and will be on terms no less favorable than could be obtained from an unaffiliated third party. The board of directors will obtain independent counsel or other independent advice to assist in that determination.

A total of 19,143,445 shares of common stock are being offered for sale under this prospectus by Jona, Inc., David Curtis, Peter Ren and DiamondCluster International, Inc.

 

During the period January through March 2002 Jona, Inc. acquired 7,500,000 shares and warrants to purchase 10,000,000 shares of common stock under a January 17, 2002 securities purchase agreement (which amount includes warrants to purchase 2,500,000 shares of common stock as consideration for Jona’s decision to complete the purchase prior to the issuance of our Form 10-KSB filing, which enabled us to eliminate a “going concern” qualification in our auditor’s report for our 2001 financial statements). Jona, Inc. paid a total of $7,500,000 for the shares and the warrants. The shares and warrants were issued under the securities purchase agreement on the following dates:

 

    January 17, 2002 – 1,100,000 shares and a warrant covering 1,100,000 shares.
    March 19, 2002 – 3,900,000 shares and a warrant covering 3,900,000 shares.
    March 28, 2002 – 2,500,000 shares and a warrant covering 5,000,000 shares.

 

Each of the warrants is exercisable at $1.00 per share, expires on the fifth anniversary of the issuance date and was exercisable in full on the exercise date.

 

The warrants contain an anti-dilution provision, so that if we issue common stock below $1.00 per share during the term of the warrants, the exercise price of the warrants will be reduced according to a formula based on value of the common stock issued below $1.00 compared to the value of our common stock already outstanding. The anti-dilution provision is subject to exceptions, including shares issuable: (i) upon options issued under stock option plans; (ii) in a merger, acquisition or strategic investment; (iii) under a derivative security already existing when the warrants were issued; or (iv) a firm-commitment secondary offering of our common stock. Warrants covering up to 2,500,000 shares are subject to early termination at our option if our common stock trades above $2.00 per share for five consecutive trading days. We have another option to terminate warrants covering up to 2,500,000 shares if our common stock trades above $3.00 per share for five consecutive trading days. Under these options, we have the ability to terminate warrants covering up to a total of 2,500,000 shares. The warrants contain a cashless exercise provision, so that instead of paying cash to exercise the warrants, the holder will receive shares upon surrendering a portion of the warrant deemed to be worth the value of the stock to be issued upon the exercise.

 

As part of the purchase of the common stock and warrants under the securities purchase agreement, Jona, Inc. loaned Webb a total of $1,200,000 in December 2001 and January 2002, at an annual interest rate of 10%. On December 21, 2001, we issued Jona, Inc. a warrant to purchase 60,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share as partial consideration for these loans. The warrant was exercisable in full on the date it was issued, expires on December 21, 2006, and is identical in all other respects to those described in the preceding paragraph. The loans have been repaid in full. Jona, Inc. is offering a total of 17,560,000 shares of common stock under this prospectus, including 10,060,000 shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants it holds.

The Jona, Inc. securities purchase agreement requires Webb to: (1) amend its Bylaws to require the unanimous consent and approval of all members of the board of directors in attendance at a duly convened meeting of the board of directors prior to (i) incurring indebtedness for borrowed money, if such borrowing would result in Webb’s then outstanding liability for all such then outstanding borrowings to exceed $1,000,000; (ii) taking any action that results in the redemption of any of Webb’s outstanding shares of common stock or preferred stock; (iii) approving any merger, other corporate reorganization, sale of control of Webb or any transaction in which substantially all of the assets of Webb are sold; or (iv) approving an amendment to or waiving any of the provisions of Webb’s articles of incorporation or bylaws; and (2) use its best efforts to cause two nominees of Jona, Inc. to be elected to the board of directors so long as Jona, Inc. beneficially owns 25% or more of Webb’s common stock. The securities purchase agreement also requires us to register for resale by Jona, Inc. the 7,500,000 shares of common stock and the 10,060,000 shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants.

 

Mr. Curtis received a warrant to purchase 575,000 shares as consideration for his assistance in the sale of the securities to Jona, Inc. and Mr. Ren received a warrant to purchase 100,000 shares of our common stock for services, including his assistance in the sale of the securities to Jona, Inc. Each warrant is exercisable at $1.00 per share. Mr. Curtis’ warrant expires in March 2007 and Mr. Ren’s warrant expires in April 2007. The warrants are identical in all other regards to that issued to Jona, Inc. Mr. Curtis is offering 575,000 shares of common stock under this prospectus, all of which are issuable upon the exercise of the warrant he holds. Mr. Ren is offering 100,000 shares of common stock under this prospectus, all of which are issuable upon the exercise of the warrant he holds. We agreed to register for resale by Messrs. Curtis and Ren the shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants.

 

DiamondCluster International, Inc. acquired the 908,445 shares of the common stock it is offering under this prospectus in April 2002 when it exchanged 690,000 shares of series B convertible preferred stock and 35,000 shares of common stock it owned in Jabber, Inc., a subsidiary of Webb. DiamondCluster International, Inc. originally acquired the Jabber stock in July 2000. DiamondCluster International, Inc. is offering all of the 908,445 shares for sale under this prospectus. The exchange agreement with DiamondCluster International, Inc. requires us to register for resale the 908,445 shares of common stock.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

 

General

 

Our articles of incorporation authorize our board of directors to issue 65,000,000 shares of capital stock, including 60,000,000 shares of common stock and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, with rights, preferences and privileges as are determined by our board of directors.

 

Common Stock

 

As of June 1, 2003, we had 22,668,167 shares of common stock outstanding. All outstanding shares of our common stock are fully paid and non-assessable and the shares of our common stock offered by this prospectus will be, upon issuance, fully paid and non-assessable. The following is a summary of the material rights and privileges of our common stock.

 

Voting. Holders of our common stock are entitled to cast one vote for each share held at all shareholder meetings for all purposes, including the election of directors. The holders of more than 50% of the voting power of our common stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote and present in person or by proxy, and any preferred stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote and present in person or by proxy, constitute a quorum at all meetings of our shareholders. The votes of the holders of shares of common stock, present or represented at the meeting and of any preferred stock present or represented at the meeting and entitled to vote at the meeting, will decide any question brought before the meeting, except when Colorado law, our articles of incorporation, or our bylaws require a greater vote and except when Colorado law requires a vote of any preferred stock issued and outstanding, voting as a separate class, to approve a matter brought before the meeting. Holders of our common stock do not have cumulative voting for the election of directors.

 

Dividends. Holders of our common stock are entitled to dividends when, as and if declared by the board of directors out of funds available for distribution. The payment of any dividends may be limited or prohibited by loan agreement provisions or priority dividends for preferred stock that may be outstanding.

 

Preemptive Rights. The holders of our common stock have no preemptive rights to subscribe for any additional shares of any class of our capital stock or for any issue of bonds, notes or other securities convertible into any class of our capital stock.

 

Liquidation. If we liquidate or dissolve, the holders of each outstanding share of our common stock will be entitled to share equally in our assets legally available for distribution to our shareholders after payment of all liabilities and after distributions to holders of preferred stock legally entitled to be paid distributions before the payment of distributions to holders of our common stock.

 

Series D Junior Convertible Preferred Stock

 

As of June 1, 2003, we had 1,548 shares of series D junior convertible preferred stock outstanding. The series D junior convertible preferred stock does not bear dividends and does not entitle the holders to any voting rights except as required by Colorado law. The following is a summary of the material terms of the series D junior convertible preferred stock.

 

Conversion. The preferred stock is convertible into common stock unless the conversion would result in the holder being a beneficial owner of more than 4.99% of our common stock. The current conversion price is $1.00 per share. The conversion price is subject to anti-dilution protection if we issue our common stock at prices less than the conversion price for the preferred stock or the then current price for our common stock and for stock splits, stock dividends and other similar transactions. If the conversion price is reduced, we may be required to record a charge to income.

 

Liquidation Preference. If we liquidate, dissolve or wind-up our business, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, after we pay our debts and other liabilities, the holder of the preferred stock will be entitled to receive

 

50


from our remaining net assets, before any distribution to the holders of our common stock, the amount of $1,000 per share.

 

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

The sale of the shares offered by this prospectus may be made in the over-the-counter electronic bulletin board or other over-the-counter markets at prices and at terms then prevailing or at prices related to the then current market price or in negotiated transactions. These shares may be sold by one or more of the following:

 

    A block trade in which the broker or dealer will attempt to sell shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction.

 

    Purchases by a broker or dealer as principal and resale by a broker or dealer for its account using this prospectus.

 

    Ordinary brokerage transactions in which the broker does not solicit purchasers and transactions in which the broker does solicit purchasers.

 

    Transactions directly with a market maker.

 

    In privately negotiated transactions not involving a broker or dealer.

 

Each sale may be made either at market prices prevailing at the time of the sale, at negotiated prices, at fixed prices which may be changed, or at prices related to prevailing market prices.

 

The selling shareholders may also resell all or a portion of the shares offered by this prospectus in open market transactions in reliance upon Section 4(1) of the Securities Act or Rule 144 under the Securities Act rather than by this prospectus.

 

Brokers or dealers engaged by selling shareholders to sell the shares may arrange for other brokers or dealers to participate. Brokers or dealers engaged to sell the shares will receive compensation in the form of commissions or discounts in amounts to be negotiated immediately before each sale. These brokers or dealers and any other participating brokers or dealers may be determined to be underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. We will receive no proceeds from any resales of the shares offered by this prospectus, and we anticipate that the brokers or dealers, if any, participating in the sales of the shares will receive the usual and customary selling commissions.

 

The selling shareholders may enter into hedging transactions. Persons with whom it enters into hedging transactions may engage in short sales of our common stock. The selling shareholders may engage in short sales of our common stock and transactions involving options, swaps, derivatives and other transactions involving our securities or its investments in those securities, and may sell and deliver the shares covered by this prospectus under agreements to undertake these transactions or in settlement of securities loans. These transactions may be entered into with broker-dealers or other financial institutions that may resell those shares. The selling shareholders may pledge its shares to secure borrowings. Upon delivery of the shares or a default by a selling shareholder, the broker-dealer or financial institution may offer and sell the pledged shares.

 

To comply with the securities laws of some states, if applicable, the shares will be sold in those states only through brokers or dealers. The shares may not be sold in some states unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in those states or an exemption from registration or qualification is available and is complied with.

 

If necessary, the specific shares of our common stock to be sold, the name of the selling shareholder, the purchase and public offering prices, the names of any agent, dealer or underwriter, and any applicable commissions or discounts will be disclosed in an accompanying prospectus supplement or, if appropriate, a post-effective amendment to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.

 

We entered into registration rights agreements with the selling shareholders. The registration rights agreement requires us to register the shares of our common stock under applicable federal and state securities laws. The party’s directors, officers and controlling persons against liability for the offer and sale of the common stock,

 

51


including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and to contribute to payments the parties may be required to make. We have agreed to indemnify and hold harmless Jona, Inc. from liability under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

 

The rules and regulations in Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, provide that during the period that any person is engaged in the distribution within the meaning of Regulation M of our common stock, that person usually may not purchase shares of our common stock. The selling shareholders are subject to the rules and regulations of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of shares of our common stock by Jona, Inc. The prohibition on purchases under Regulation M may include purchases to cover short positions by the selling shareholders, and the failure by a selling shareholder to cover a short position at a lender’s request and purchases by the lender in the market of shares to cover such a short position may constitute an inducement to buy those shares prohibited by Regulation M. This may affect the marketability of the common stock.

 

We will bear all expenses of the offering of the common stock, except that the selling shareholders will pay any applicable underwriting commissions and expenses, brokerage fees and transfer taxes, and the fees and disbursements of its counsel and experts.

LEGAL MATTERS

 

Gray, Plant, Mooty, Mooty & Bennett, P.A., Minneapolis, Minnesota, has issued an opinion about the legality of the shares registered by this prospectus. Lindley S. Branson, a principal of Gray, Plant, Mooty, Mooty & Bennett, P.A., serves as our executive vice president and general counsel.

EXPERTS

 

The consolidated financial statements of Webb Interactive Services, Inc. at December 31, 2002, and for the year then ended, appearing in this prospectus and the registration statement have been audited by Ernst & Young, LLP, independent auditors, as set forth in their report thereon appearing elsewhere herein, and are included in reliance upon such report given on the authority of such firm as experts in accounting and auditing.

 

52


The consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2001 and for the year then ended appearing in this prospectus have been audited by Arthur Andersen LLP, independent certified public accountants. Arthur Andersen LLP issued the report as independent accountants and as experts in auditing and accounting. Arthur Andersen LLP has not consented to the inclusion of the report with respect to their audit in this prospectus, and we have dispensed with the requirement to file their consent in reliance upon Rule 437a of the Securities Act of 1933. Because Arthur Andersen LLP has not consented to the inclusion of the report in this prospectus the ability of purchasers of securities sold hereunder to seek potential recoveries from Arthur Andersen LLP related to any claims that they may assert as a result of the audit performed by Arthur Andersen LLP may be limited significantly.

 

CHANGES IN ACCOUNTANTS

 

On July 1, 2002, Arthur Andersen LLP was dismissed as our independent accountant and Ernst & Young LLP was appointed as the new independent accountant for the year ending December 31, 2002. The decision to dismiss Arthur Andersen and to appoint Ernst & Young was recommended by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors and was approved by the Board of Directors on July 1, 2002.

 

Arthur Andersen’s reports on Webb’s financial statements for the two fiscal years ended December 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000, did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to audit scope or accounting principles, or, with respect to the year ended December 31, 2001, modified for uncertainty. Its report on our financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000, did contain a going concern uncertainty modification.

 

During the fiscal years 2000 and 2001, and the period from January 1, 2002 through July 1, 2002, there were no disagreements between Webb and Arthur Andersen on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Arthur Andersen, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its audit reports.

 

INDEMNIFICATION

 

Our articles of incorporation provide that we shall indemnify, to the full extent permitted by Colorado law, our directors, officers, employees or agents who are made, or threatened to be made, a party to a proceeding against judgments, penalties, fines, settlements and reasonable expenses if specified standards are met. Although indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons under these provisions, we have been advised that, in the opinion of the SEC, indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, is against public policy as expressed in that act and is unenforceable.

 

Our articles of incorporation also limit the liability of our directors to the fullest extent permitted by the Colorado law. Specifically, our articles of incorporation provide that our directors will not be personally liable for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as directors, except for:

 

    Any breach of the duty of loyalty to us or our shareholders;

 

    Acts or omissions not in good faith or that involved intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;

 

    Dividends or other distributions of corporate assets that are in contravention of specified statutory or contractual restrictions;

 

    Violations of specified laws; or

 

    Any transaction from which the director derives an improper personal benefit.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

 

The Board of Directors and Stockholders

Webb Interactive Services, Inc.:

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Webb Interactive Services, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2002, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for the year then ended. 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 audit. The financial statements of the Company as of December 31, 2001, and for the year ended were audited by other auditors who have ceased operations and whose report dated March 28, 2002, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.

 

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit 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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company at December 31, 2002, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

WEBB INTERACTIVE SERVICES, INC.

 

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

(1)   ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS

 

Webb Interactive Services, Inc. (with its subsidiaries collectively referred to as the “Company,” “Webb,” “we” or “our”), was incorporated on March 22, 1994, under the laws of Colorado, and principal operations began in 1995. Webb is the founder and through March 18, 2003, the majority stockholder of Jabber, Inc. (“Jabber”). Subsequent to the sale of Jabber’s series D convertible preferred stock (the “Jabber series D preferred stock”), Webb’s ownership in Jabber is approximately 43.3% (See Note 23).

 

Jabber is a commercial developer of real-time communications software and instant messaging (“IM”) solutions offering proprietary, scalable extensible IM software solutions for carriers, service providers for OEM and ISV partners, and for large enterprises. We formed Jabber in February 2000, to commercialize the Jabber.org instant messaging system begun in 1998 by Jeremie Miller, the founder of this open-source movement. We became the commercial sponsor of the Jabber.org open-source movement in September 1999. Jabber commenced operations in May 2000, and released its initial proprietary IM software product in March 2001. During 2002 and 2001, Jabber earned revenue from licensing its software, fees from support and maintenance agreements and fees from professional service contracts. Due to the termination our AccelX business segment in October 2001, continuing operations of Webb refer to the Jabber business segment and Webb’s corporate activities.

 

Prior to October 16, 2001, we were also engaged in developing software products and services designed to assist small businesses in developing, maintaining and strengthening local buyer-seller relationships. This business was terminated on October 16, 2001, as we were unable to obtain financing for this business on acceptable terms and market conditions for these products and services were continuing to develop at a slower rate than we had anticipated. In connection with the termination of this business, we granted a license for the software used in this business to Aptas, Inc. (“Aptas”), formally known as Nextron Communications, Inc. for a license fee of $1 million. We also sold assets used in this business to Aptas for a purchase price of $500,000. The accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect the termination of this segment as discontinued operation.

 

We have not been profitable since inception. Webb does not currently have a source of revenue but does incur operating expenses separate from those of Jabber. Our ability to become profitable depends upon the success of Jabber to market its products and services and generate revenues sufficient to exceed its expenses. Because of the new and evolving nature of instant messaging technologies and Jabber’s early stage of development, we cannot be sure that its revenue model will prove to be viable, whether demand for its products and services will materialize at the prices it expects to charge, or whether current or future pricing levels will be sustainable. We have expended significant funds to develop Jabber’s current product offerings and Jabber anticipates continuing losses for at least the first nine months of 2003 as it further develops and markets its products in advance of market acceptance in sufficient quantities to achieve positive cash flow from operations.

 

As a result of the France Telecom Technologies Investissements (“FTTI”) investment in Jabber (See Note 10), Jabber is being funded separately from Webb. In January and March 2002, we raised $7.5 million in cash through the sale of Webb’s common stock and common stock purchase warrants (See Note 8). In March 2003, Jabber raised $5 million in cash through the sale of its series D convertible preferred stock and has the ability to sell additional shares of the Jabber series D convertible preferred stock, which if completed, would result in additional gross proceeds of $5.5 million to Jabber (See Note 23).

 

We believe that the funds available at March 20, 2003, and the cost sharing arrangement between Webb and Jabber commencing April 1, 2003 (See Note 23), provide us with sufficient capital to operate Webb through at least September 2005 and Jabber through cash flow break-even, which is expected to be during the fourth quarter of 2003. There can be no guarantee that Jabber will be successful in marketing its products or that it will be able to achieve positive cash flow from operations.

(2)   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Financial Statements

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Webb and its majority-owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The net loss attributable to the minority stockholders’ interests, which relates to our Jabber subsidiary, is recorded based upon the minority interest share of the ownership of Jabber.

 

Estimates and Assumptions

 

Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. Examples include estimates of loss contingencies and the useful life of assets, and assumptions such as the elements comprising a software arrangement, when the Company reaches technological feasibility for its products and the valuation of common stock equivalents. Actual results and outcomes may differ from these estimates and assumptions.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Revenues are generated from the license of our software products, professional service arrangements and maintenance and support services. Software license revenue is recognized in accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“AICPA”) Statement of Position (“SOP”) 97-2 “Software Revenue Recognition” (“SOP 97-2”) and related interpretations and amendments as well as Technical Practice Aids issued from time to time by the AICPA.

 

We recognize revenue on software arrangements only when persuasive evidence of an agreement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is probable. Under certain circumstances, software license revenue is deferred until all criteria of SOP 97-2 are met. Certain arrangements contain provisions which result in the recognition of revenue from software licenses ratably over the term of the contract or in accordance with long-term contract accounting.

 

Revenue from professional services billed on a time and materials basis is recognized as the services are performed and amounts due from customers are deemed collectible and contractually non-refundable. Revenue from fixed price long-term contracts is recognized on the percentage of completion method for individual contracts. Revenues are recognized in the ratio that costs incurred bear to total estimated contract costs. The use of the percentage of completion method of revenue recognition requires estimates of percentage of project completion. Changes in job performance, estimated profitability and final contract settlements may result in revisions to costs and income in the period in which the revisions are determined. Provisions for any estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determinable. In instances when the work performed on fixed price agreements is of relatively short duration, or if we are unable to make sufficiently accurate estimates of costs at the outset of the arrangement, we use the completed contract method of accounting whereby revenue is recognized when the work is completed. Customer payments and billed amounts due from customers in excess of revenue recognized are recorded as deferred revenue.

 

Revenue from maintenance and support agreements is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the related maintenance and support agreement.

 

For software arrangements with multiple elements, we apply the residual method prescribed by SOP 98-9, “Modification of SOP 97-2 ‘Software Revenue Recognition’ with Respect to Certain Transactions.” Revenue applicable to undelivered elements, principally software maintenance, training and implementation services, is determined based on vendor specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) of the fair value of those elements. VSOE is established by the price of the element when it is sold separately (i.e., the renewal rate for software maintenance and normal prices charged for training and professional services). Revenue applicable to elements for which VSOE of fair value is not determinable is deemed equal to the remainder/residual amount of the fixed arrangement price.

 

F-10


Assuming none of the undelivered elements and VSOE of fair value exists for all undelivered elements are essential to the functionality of any of the delivered elements, we recognize the residual revenue attributed to the delivered elements when all other criteria for revenue recognition for those elements have been met.

 

We believe our current revenue recognition policies and practices are consistent with the provisions of SOP 97-2, as amended by SOP 98-4 and SOP 98-9, which were issued by the AICPA, as well as other related authoritative literature. Implementation guidelines for these standards, as well as potential new standards, could lead to unanticipated changes in our current revenue recognition policies. Such changes could affect the timing of our future revenue and results of operations

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid investments with original maturities of 90 days or less that are readily convertible into cash and are not subject to significant risk from fluctuations in interest rates. The recorded amounts for cash equivalents approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject us to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. We have no off balance-sheet concentrations of credit risk such as foreign exchange contracts, option contracts or other foreign hedging arrangements. We maintain our cash in the form of demand deposits with financial institutions that we believe to be of high credit quality.

 

As discussed in Note 17, five and three customers in 2002 and 2001, respectively, each accounted for more than 10% of Jabber’s revenues, and three and one customers at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively, each accounted for more than 10% of Jabber’s accounts receivable.

 

Allowance For Doubtful Accounts

 

The allowance for doubtful accounts reflects management’s best estimate of probable losses in the account receivable balance. Management determines the allowance based on known troubled accounts, historical experience, and other currently available evidence. Activity in the allowance for doubtful accounts is as follows:

 

Year Ended December 31,


   Beginning Balance

   Expenses

   Deductions

    Ending Balance

2001

   $ 6,000    $ 26,705    $ (5,700 )   $ 27,005

2002

   $ 27,005    $ 24,918    $ (22,447 )   $ 29,476

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment is stated at cost or estimated fair value upon acquisition and depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets, generally ranging from three to seven years. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred and improvements are capitalized.

 

 

On January 1, 2002, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (“SFAS 144”). SFAS 144 requires us to evaluate the carrying value of our long-lived assets and definite lived intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount which the carrying amount of the assets exceed the fair value of the assets.

 

F-11


Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less the estimated cost to sell the asset.

 

At December 31, 2002, the intangible assets, which consisted of technology utilized by Jabber acquired by Webb in a 1999 acquisition, were fully amortized. We recorded amortization expense totaling $691,748 and $3,050,388 (including $1,503,637 from discontinued operation in 2001) for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Amortization expense was reduced in 2002 by $35,553 as a result of the step-down adjustment allocated to intangible assets resulting from Webb’s purchase of Jabber minority interests in April 2002 (See Note 10).

 

Cost of Revenues

 

Cost of revenues include nominal direct costs of delivering software, direct labor costs for maintenance and support and professional services, and an allocation of overhead costs. Costs of revenues does not include any allocation of depreciation or amortization expense.

 

Capitalized Software Development Costs, Purchased Software Technology and Research and Development Costs

 

Software development costs are capitalized in accordance with SFAS No. 86, “Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed” (“SFAS 86”). Capitalization of development costs of software products begins once the technological feasibility of the product is established. The establishment of technological feasibility is highly subjective and requires the exercise of judgment by management. Based on our product development process, technological feasibility is established upon completion of a detailed program design. Capitalization ceases when such software is ready for general release, at which time amortization of the capitalized costs begins.

 

We have determined that the time between technological feasibility and general release of the software products is short. Consequently, we have not capitalized software development costs but expensed those costs as product development expenses as incurred. The cost of developing routine software enhancements is expensed as incurred.

 

Warranties

 

We issue warranties to customers for product performance in accordance with the specifications that are short-term in nature, generally 90 days or less. Our obligations under these warranties have not been significant and are generally covered under customer maintenance agreements. We also indemnify customers against patent infringement claims. As of December 31, 2002 and 2001, there were no liabilities recorded in the financial statements related to indemnifications or warranties, which would be required if such liabilities were probable and estimable. Any such claims in existence at December 31, 2002 and 2001, incurred in the ordinary course of business are not expected to have a material impact on our financial position and results of operations.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts and notes receivable. As of December 31, 2002, the carrying values of such instruments approximated their fair values.

 

Foreign Currencies

 

The functional currency of our foreign subsidiary located in The Netherlands is the Euro. Assets and liabilities of this subsidiary are translated to U.S. dollars at year-end exchange rates and income statement items are translated at the exchange rates present at the time such transactions arise. Resulting translation adjustments are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income, a component of stockholders’ equity (deficit).

 

F-12


Transactions denominated in currencies other than the Euro are recorded based on exchange rates at the time such transactions arise. Subsequent changes in exchange rates result in foreign currency transaction gains and losses which are reflected in income as unrealized (based on period-end translation) or realized (upon settlement of the transaction). Unrealized transaction gains and losses applicable to permanent investments by Webb in its foreign subsidiary are included as cumulative translation adjustments, and unrealized translation gains and losses applicable to short-term intercompany receivables from or payables to Webb and its foreign subsidiary are included in income.

 

Income Taxes

 

The current provision for income taxes represents actual or estimated amounts payable on tax return filings each year. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded for the estimated future tax effects of temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and amounts reported in the accompanying balance sheets, and for operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. The change in deferred tax assets and liabilities for the period measures the deferred tax provision or benefit for the period. Effects of changes in enacted tax laws on deferred tax assets and liabilities are reflected as adjustments to the tax provision or benefit in the period of enactment. Our deferred tax assets have been reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized (See Note 18).

 

Stock Option Accounting and Other Stock-Based Compensation Arrangements

 

Employee stock option plans and other employee stock-based compensation arrangements are accounted for in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB Opinion No. 25”) and related interpretations. As such, compensation expense related to employee stock options is recorded if, on the measurement date, the fair value of the underlying stock exceeds the stock option exercise price. We adopted the disclosure-only provisions of SFAS No. 123 “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS 123”), which allows entities to continue to apply the provisions of APB Opinion No. 25 for transactions with employees and provide pro forma disclosures for employee stock grants made in 1996 and future years as if the fair-value-based method of accounting in SFAS 123 had been applied to these transactions.

 

Equity instruments issued to non-employees are accounted for in accordance with SFAS 123 and related interpretations. Certain grants of warrants require the use of variable plan accounting whereby the warrants are valued using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model at the date of issuance and at each subsequent reporting date with final valuation on the vesting date. Such instruments can result in substantial volatility in our results of operations until they are vested.

 

In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation — Transition and Disclosure” (“SFAS 148”). This statement amends SFAS 123 to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. This statement also amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. We have adopted the annual disclosure provisions of SFAS 148 as of December 31, 2002. The provisions of this statement relating to interim financial information are effective for the quarter ending March 31, 2003. The transitional provisions will not have an impact on our financial statements unless we elect to change from the intrinsic value method to the fair value method.

 

F-13


Pro-forma information regarding net income and earning per share is required by SFAS 123 and has been determined as if we had accounted for our employee stock options under the fair value method of SFAS 123. The fair value for these options was determined at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:

 

     2002

    2001

 
     Webb

    Jabber

    Webb

    Jabber

 

Risk-free interest rate

   4.11 %   3.9 %   4.13 %   4.61 %

Expected dividend yield

Expected lives

   5 Years     0.5 Years     3 Years     3 Years  

Expected volatility

   125 %   125 %   125 %   125 %

 

The weighted average fair value of Webb options granted during 2002 and 2001 was $0.42 and $1.22, respectively. The weighted average fair value of Jabber options granted during 2002 and 2001 was and $0.60 and $0.48, respectively. For purposes of pro-forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the options is amortized to expense over the options’ vesting period. Our pro-forma net loss applicable to common stockholders and pro-forma net loss applicable to common stockholders per share, as if we had used the fair value accounting provisions of SFAS 123 are as follows:

Net Loss Per Common Share

 

Net loss per share is calculated in accordance with SFAS No. 128, “Earnings Per Share” (“SFAS 128”). Under the provisions of SFAS 128, basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss applicable to common shareholders for the period, subject to certain adjustments, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss for the period by the weighted average number of common and potential common shares outstanding during the period if the effect of the potential common shares is dilutive. As a result of our net losses, all potentially dilutive securities, as indicated in the table below, would be anti-dilutive and are excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share, and there are no differences between basic and diluted per share amounts for all years presented.

Comprehensive Loss

 

Comprehensive loss includes net loss and other non-owner changes to stockholders’ equity not reflected in net loss applicable to common stockholders. The components of accumulated other comprehensive loss, as presented on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, consists of cumulative translation adjustments from assets and liabilities of our foreign subsidiary.

 

Subsidiary Stock Transactions

 

We comply with the requirements of SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 51, “Accounting for Sales of Stock by a Subsidiary” (“SAB 51”), which requires that the difference between the carrying amount of the parent’s investment in a subsidiary and the underlying net book value of the subsidiary after the issuance of stock by the subsidiary be reflected as either a gain or loss in the statement of operations or reflected as an equity transaction. We have elected to record gains or losses resulting from the sale of a subsidiary’s stock as equity transactions.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

 

In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations (“SFAS 143”), which addresses financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. The standard applies to legal obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development and/or normal use of the asset. SFAS 143 requires that the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation be recognized in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The fair value of the liability is added to the carrying amount of the associated asset and this additional carrying amount is depreciated over the life of the asset. The liability is accreted at the end of each period through charges to operating expense. If the obligation is settled for other than the carrying amount of the liability, we will recognize a gain or loss on settlement. We will adopt the provisions of SFAS 143 effective January 1, 2003 and do not expect an impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows as a result of its implementation.

 

In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, “Rescission of FASB Statement No. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections” (“SFAS 145”). This statement provides guidance on the classification of gains and losses from the extinguishment of debt and on the accounting for certain specified lease transactions. We have adopted SFAS 145 in 2002 and have recorded the losses on the extinguishment of debt in accordance with this statement.

 

In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities” (“SFAS 146”), which addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and nullifies Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 94-3, “Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)” (“EITF 94-3”). Generally, SFAS 146 requires that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized as incurred, whereas EITF 94-3 required such a liability to be recognized at the time that an entity committed to an exit plan. The provisions of the statement are to be adopted prospectively for exit activities after December 31, 2002. Although SFAS 146 may impact the accounting for costs related to exit or disposal activities we may enter into in the future, particularly the timing of recognition of these costs, the adoption of the statement is not expected to have an impact on the our present financial condition or results of operations.

 

In November 2002, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 45, “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others” (“FIN 45”), which addresses the disclosure to be made by a guarantor in its interim and annual financial statements about its obligations under guarantees. FIN 45 also requires the recognition of a liability by a guarantor at the inception of certain guarantees and requires the guarantor to recognize a liability for the non-contingent component of the guarantee. This is the obligation to stand ready to perform in the event that specified triggering events or conditions occur. The initial measurement of this liability is the fair value of the guarantee at inception. The recognition of the liability is

 

F-15


required even if it is not probable that payments will be required under the guarantee or if the guarantee was issued with a premium payment or as part of a transaction with multiple elements. We have adopted the disclosure provisions of FIN 45 as of December 31, 2002. Although FIN 45 may impact the accounting for guarantees we may enter into in the future, the adoption of the statement is not expected to have an impact on our present financial condition or results of operations.

 

In January 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” (“FIN 46”). FIN 46 clarifies existing accounting principles related to the preparation of consolidated financial statements when the equity investors in an entity do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or when the equity at risk is not sufficient for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. FIN 46 requires a company to evaluate all existing arrangements to identify situations where a company has a “variable interest” (commonly evidenced by a guarantee arrangement or other commitment to provide financial support) in a “variable interest entity” (commonly a thinly capitalized entity) and further determine when such variable interests require a company to consolidate the variable interest entities’ financial statements with its own. We are required to perform this assessment by September 30, 2003, and consolidate any variable interest entities for which we will absorb a majority of the entities’ expected losses or receive a majority of the expected residual gains. We have not yet performed this assessment; but expect to perform the assessment in the first quarter of 2003 with respect to Jabber (See Note 23).

 

(3)   NOTES RECEIVABLE FROM COMPANY OFFICERS

 

During 2000, Webb loaned a total of $195,827 to two officers of the Company pursuant to demand notes with full recourse bearing interest at 8% per annum. All payments are first applied to the principal and thereafter to accrued interest. The Company recognizes interest income when collected. At December 31, 2002 and 2001, the unpaid interest on the loans totaled $28,134 and $15,812, respectively. During 2002 and 2001, the Company was repaid principal totaling $13,346 and $37,622, respectively.

Included in other income (loss), net for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 are $12,542 and $61,783, respectively, in losses from the sale and disposition of excess and obsolete property and equipment. During the year ended December 31, 2001, we also sold computer equipment and third-party software with a net book value of $225,262 to Aptas in connection with the termination of our AccelX business (See Note 16).

 

Computer equipment, office equipment, and software is depreciated over three to five years, office furnishings over seven years, and leasehold improvements over the shorter of their economic life or the life of the lease. Depreciation expense from continuing operations totaled $524,046 and $500,379 for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Depreciation expense from discontinued operations totaled none and $644,390 for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

Capital leases payable consist of the following:

 

     December 31,

 
         2002    

   2001

 

Capital lease payable in quarterly principal and interest payments of $33,778, for eight quarters beginning January 1, 2000, effective interest rate of 15.06%

Less current portion

     —        (63,930 )
    

  


     $ —      $ —    
    

  


 

During January and March 2002, we negotiated settlements with the leasing companies whereby Webb paid $35,600 in full settlement of the lease obligations, including accrued unpaid interest.

 

The software under capital lease was used in our AccelX business and as a result of the termination of that business we determined that its value was zero. Consequently we wrote-off the net book value and recorded a loss which is reflected in loss from discontinued operations.

 

(6)   SHORT-TERM NOTES PAYABLE

 

On August 29, 2001, Webb executed a 60-day promissory note for which we received $300,000. The promissory note accrued interest at an annual rate of 10% and was secured by a pledge of 3,000,000 shares of Webb’s preferred stock of Jabber. On October 29, 2001, we repaid the promissory note, including accrued interest of $5,014.

 

In addition, we issued the holder of the promissory note a warrant to purchase 25,000 shares of our common stock at $2.50 per share. The holder may exercise the warrant at any time from the date of issuance through August 29, 2004. We valued the warrant at $15,738 using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the assumptions summarized in the following table. The fair value of the warrant was recorded as a discount to the promissory note and was amortized to interest expense over the term of the note.

 

Black-Scholes option-pricing model assumptions:

 

Exercise price

   $ 2.50  

Fair market value of common stock on measurement date

   $ 1.01  

Option life

     3 years  

Volatility rate

     127 %

Risk free rate of return

     6.5 %

Dividend rate

     0 %

 

We also paid $21,000 in financing costs associated with the execution of the promissory note. The cost of the financing was recorded as deferred financing asset and was amortized to interest expense over the term of the note.

 

On August 20, 2001, Webb executed a demand promissory note with a former officer of the Company for which we received $40,000. The promissory note accrued interest at an annual rate of 10%. On October 22, 2001, we repaid the promissory note, including accrued interest of $449.

 

On October 26, 2001, in satisfaction of amounts owed for services rendered and for fees due in connection with the termination of our AccelX business, we executed a $175,000 promissory note with a financial services firm.

 

F-17


The note was payable on January 31, 2002 and was non-interest bearing. During February 2002, Webb paid $140,000 to the financial services firm in full settlement of this note.

 

(7)   10% CONVERTIBLE NOTE PAYABLE

 

On August 25, 1999, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement, as amended, and executed a $5,000,000 three-year 10% Convertible Promissory Note (the “10% convertible note payable”). On January 17, 2002, we entered into an agreement with the holder of the 10% convertible note payable in which we agreed to exchange $1,212,192 of the then outstanding principal balance for 1,984 shares of our series D preferred stock, which was completed on March 13, 2002 (See Note 9). In addition, on March 12, 2002, we repaid $720,000 of the principal balance and accrued interest totaling $37,585 in full settlement of the 10% convertible note payable and accrued interest.

 

As a result of this exchange, in the first quarter of 2002 we recorded a non-cash loss on debt extinguishment totaling $625,164 computed as follows:

 

Balance of 10% convertible note payable exchanged for series D preferred stock

   $ 1,212,192
    

Number of common shares 10% convertible note payable would have converted into immediately prior to exchange

     1,212,192

Number of common shares series D preferred stock is convertible into immediately after exchange

     1,984,000
    

Increase in number of common shares

     771,808

Fair market value of common stock on March 13, 2002

   $ 0.81
    

Loss on debt extinguishment

   $ 625,164
    

 

On January 17, 2002, we issued the holder of the 10% convertible note payable, a five-year warrant to purchase 750,000 shares of our common stock as part of the exchange of our 10% convertible note payable for our series D junior preferred convertible stock. The exercise price for the warrant is currently $1.00 per share. The exercise price for the warrant is also subject to anti-dilution protection if we issue our common stock at prices less than the exercise price for the warrant and for stock splits, stock dividends and other similar transactions. If the warrant price is reset, we may record additional charges to expense. The warrant is subject to early expiration for one-third of the shares if our common stock trades at $2.00 or more for five consecutive days and for an additional one-third of the shares if our common stock trades at $3.00 or more for five consecutive days.

 

We recorded a loss on debt extinguishment for the fair value of the warrant totaling $537,770 in the first quarter of 2002. We valued the warrant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model utilizing the following assumptions:

 

Exercise price

   $ 1.00  

Fair market value of common stock on date of issuance

   $ 0.84  

Option life

     5 years  

Volatility rate

     127 %

The 10% convertible note payable was initially convertible into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $10.07 per share. The conversion price was subject to anti-dilution protection in the event we issued common stock at prices less than the conversion price for the 10% convertible note payable or the then current price for our common stock and for stock splits, stock dividends and other similar transactions. As a result of the private placement of preferred stock we completed in February 2001, the conversion price was reset to $2.50 per share and we recorded non-cash interest expense totaling $2,394,234 in the first quarter of 2001. As a result of the issuance of common stock in January 2002, the conversion price was reset to $1.00 per share and we recorded non-cash interest

expense totaling $255,060 in the first quarter of 2002. See Note 11 for the calculations of the non-cash expense related to the conversion price resets.

 

During the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, we recorded interest expense totaling $513,678 and $3,144,011, respectively, as summarized in the following table:

In connection with the issuance of the 10% convertible note payable, the holder was initially granted a five-year warrant for 136,519 shares exercisable at $11.44 per share (the “first 10% convertible note payable warrant”), which was exercised in 2000. This warrant, initially valued at $1,072,325, was recorded as a discount to the 10% convertible note payable and amortized to interest expense over the term of the 10% convertible note payable. The unamortized discount totaled none and $84,776 at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. We recorded interest expense related to this warrant totaling $49,144 and $151,058 for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. In addition, the discount was further reduced by conversions of the 10% convertible note payable as a reduction to additional paid-in capital calculated on the pro rata principal conversion compared to the then outstanding principal balance. During the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, as a result of principal conversions, the discount was reduced by $35,632 and $59,841, respectively.

 

In connection with the amendment to the 10% convertible note payable in December 1999, we issued the 10% convertible note holder a five-year warrant to purchase 136,519 shares of our common stock at an initial exercise price of $18.506 per share (the “second 10% convertible note payable warrant”) in consideration for the 10% convertible note holder’s agreement to exchange the note for an amended note with terms more favorable to us. We recorded the fair value of this warrant, totaling $2,311,475, as additional consideration to the 10% convertible note holder. Accordingly, we recorded a deferred financing asset, which was amortized to interest expense over the

 

F-19


term on the 10% convertible note payable. The unamortized deferred financing asset totaled none and $203,345 at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. We recorded additional non-cash interest expense for the amortization of this deferred financing asset totaling $67,103 and $364,282 for the years ended December 31, 2002, and 2001, respectfully. In addition, the deferred financing asset is further reduced by any conversions of the 10% convertible note payable as a reduction to additional paid-in capital calculated on the pro rata principal conversion compared to the then outstanding principal balance. During the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, as a result of principal conversions, the deferred financing asset was reduced by $85,405 and $142,781, respectively.

The number of common shares issuable upon exercise and the exercise price of the second 10% convertible note payable warrant are subject to anti-dilution protection in the event we issue common stock at prices less than the current exercise price for the warrant or the then current price for our common stock and for stock splits, stock dividends and other similar transactions. In accordance with the original terms of the second 10% convertible note payable warrant, the exercise price was reset on September 29, 2000, to $10.264 per share, the average closing bid price of our common stock for the 20 trading days ended on September 29, 2000. On February 28, 2001, as a result of the issuance of our preferred stock, this warrant was reset to $9.33431 per share and the number of common shares issuable upon exercise of the warrant was reset to 150,116. Based on the anti-dilution provision of the warrant, we recorded non-cash expense totaling $31,932 in the first quarter of 2001. On January 17, 2002, the terms of the warrant were amended whereby the exercise price was reset to $1.00 per share and the number of common shares issuable upon exercise was fixed at 150,116 (See Note 8). As a result, we recorded non-cash expense in the first quarter of 2002 totaling $57,730. See Note 11 for a summary of the resets of this warrant as a result of the anti-dilution provision.

 

(8)   INVESTMENT BY JONA, INC.

 

On January 17, 2002, we sold 1,100,000 units of our securities to Jona Inc. (“Jona”) for $1,100,000 (the “January 2002 Jona transaction”). Each unit consisted of one share of common stock and one warrant to purchase an additional share of common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share. The warrants may be exercised at any time by the holder from the date of issuance for a period of 5 years. On March 11, 2002, Webb’s shareholders approved the sale to Jona of an additional 3,900,000 units for $3,900,000, which were purchased by Jona on March 12, 2002.

 

The common stock is subject to anti-dilution protection if we issue our common stock for any funding by Webb at a price less than $1.00 per share. This anti-dilution protection expires at the earlier of January 17, 2004, or the raising of additional proceeds by Webb aggregating at least an additional $7.5 million or the closing bid price of our common stock has exceeded $3.00 per share for 30 consecutive trading days. If the additional shares are issued pursuant to the anti-dilution protection, we may be required to record a charge to expense.

 

In connection with the January 2002, Jona transaction, we also granted Jona an option to purchase 2,500,000 units for $2,500,000 on or before August 31, 2002. Webb’s stockholders approved the issuance of this option on March 11, 2002. On March 28, 2002, Jona exercised this option and purchased 2,500,000 units for which we received $2,500,000 in proceeds (the “March 28, 2002 Jona transaction”). In consideration for Jona exercising the option more than five months before the option expired and prior to the conclusion of the first quarter of 2002, we granted Jona an additional warrant representing the right to acquire 2,500,000 shares of our common stock at $1.00 per share. The value of this warrant, totaling $1,769,369, was recorded as an offering cost of the Jona transactions.

In connection with the January 2002 and March 28, 2002 Jona transactions, we issued two five-year warrants to purchase 450,000 and 125,000 shares, respectively, of our common stock to a financial advisor and a five year warrant to purchase 100,000 shares of our common stock to a private business owner and stockholder for payment of fees associated with the transactions. The warrants may be exercised at any time from the date of issuance by the holders at an exercise price of $1.00 per share. We recorded the value of the warrants, totaling $549,447 as offering costs and valued the warrants using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model utilizing the following assumptions:

If the exercise price is reduced, we may be required to record additional charges to expense and such charges may be significant.

 

At the time Jona agreed to purchase the units, it loaned us $900,000 at an interest rate of 10% per year. On January 8, 2002, Jona had also loaned us $300,000 at an interest rate of 10%. On March 12, 2002, we repaid the $1.2 million of principal and accrued interest totaling $18,164. We also issued Jona a three-year warrant to purchase 60,000 shares of our common stock at an initial exercise price of $2.50 per share as part of the $300,000 loan. The exercise price was reduced to $1.00 in connection with the January 2002 Jona transaction, for which we recorded non-cash interest expense totaling $14,365 in the first quarter of 2002. The value of the warrant, totaling $29,976, was recorded as a discount to the $300,000 note and amortized to interest expense during the first quarter of 2002.

Series D Junior Convertible Preferred Stock-

 

At the same time we agreed to sell the units to Jona (See Note 8), Castle Creek Technology Partners LLC (“Castle Creek”) agreed to exchange up to 2,500 shares of series C-1 preferred stock and $1,212,192 of principal of our 10% convertible note payable for up to 4,484 shares of our series D junior convertible preferred stock (the “series D preferred stock”) and a warrant to purchase 750,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share. As part of the agreement, we reduced the exercise price of existing warrants to purchase 650,116 shares of our common stock held by Castle Creek. The exercise price for these warrants was reduced to $1.00. We recorded non-cash interest and accretion expense for the reset of these warrants in the first quarter of 2002 totaling $222,345 (See Note 11). The 4,484 shares of series D preferred stock were convertible into 4,484,000 shares of our common stock. If we had not reached the agreement to exchange the series C-1 convertible preferred stock and the 10% convertible promissory notes, these securities would have been convertible into 3,712,192 shares of our common stock and Castle Creek would have been entitled to an additional warrant for 2,500,000 shares at an exercise price of $1.00 per share.

 

As a result of the transactions described above, we issued 4,034 shares of series D preferred stock with 2,584 shares being outstanding at December 31, 2002. The series D preferred stock does not bear dividends and does not entitle the holders to any voting rights except as required by Colorado law. Each share of series D preferred stock is convertible into 1,000 shares of our common stock. The series D preferred stock is convertible into common stock unless the conversion would result in the holder being a beneficial owner of more than 4.99% of our common stock. The current conversion price is $1.00 per share. The conversion price is also subject to anti-dilution protection if we issue our common stock at prices less than the conversion price for the preferred stock or the then current price for our common stock and for stock splits, stock dividends and other similar transactions. The anti-dilution protection expires on January 17, 2004.

 

The series D preferred stock has liquidation preferences. If we liquidate, dissolve or wind-up our business, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, after we pay our debts and other liabilities, the holder of the preferred stock will be entitled to receive from our remaining net assets, before any distribution to the holders of our common stock, the amount of $1,000 per share.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2002, the holder of our series D preferred stock converted 1,450 shares into 1,450,000 shares of our common stock at conversion prices per share of $1.00 as follows:

Series C-1 Preferred Stock-

 

On February 28, 2001, pursuant to a securities purchase agreement, we concluded a private placement that resulted in gross proceeds of $2,500,000. We sold 2,500 shares of our series C-1 convertible preferred stock (the “series C-1 preferred stock”), including warrants to purchase 500,000 shares of our common stock. We received net proceeds totaling approximately $2,450,000 after deducting approximately $50,000 in offering costs.

 

The series C-1 preferred stock was initially convertible into shares of our common stock at $2.50 per share. The conversion price was subject to anti-dilution protection in the event we issued common stock at prices less than the current conversion price for the preferred stock or the then current price for our common stock and for stock splits, stock dividends and other similar transactions. As a result of the January 2002 Jona transaction, the conversion price of the series C-1 preferred stock was reset to $1.00 per share (See Notes 8 and 11). As a result, we recorded an additional non-cash preferred stock accretion expense totaling $479,442 in the first quarter of 2002. See Note 11 for the calculation of this non-cash expense.

 

On January 17, 2002, the holder of the series C-1 preferred stock agreed to exchange up to 2,500 shares of series C-1 preferred stock for series D junior convertible preferred stock. On January 31 and February 21, 2002, the holder of the series C-1 preferred stock exchanged 1,500 and 550 shares of series C-1 preferred stock, respectively, for series D junior convertible preferred stock. During January and February 2002, the holder of the series C-1 preferred stock converted 450 shares of series C-1 preferred stock into 450,000 shares of common stock at a conversion price of $1.00 per share. As a result of the exchanges and conversions in 2002, at February 21, 2002, no shares of series C-1 remained outstanding.

 

We issued a three-year warrant to purchase 500,000 shares of our common stock in connection with the series C-1 preferred stock (the “series C-1 preferred stock warrant”). The warrant entitles the holder to purchase our common stock for an initial exercise price of $3.75 per share. The exercise price of the warrant is subject to anti-dilution protection if we issue our common stock at a price less than the current exercise price per share and should certain events transpire, such as subdivision or combination of our common stock, distributions to holders of our common stock, or consolidations or mergers with another corporation. As a result of the January 2002 Jona transaction, the exercise price of this warrant was reset to $1.00 per share (See Notes 8 and 11). As a result, we recorded an additional non-cash expense totaling $148,259 in the first quarter of 2002. If the exercise price is further reduced, we may be required to record additional charges to expense and such charges may be significant.

 

The warrant was initially valued at $735,279 on the grant date determined based on the relative fair value of the warrant utilizing the Black-Scholes option-pricing model using the following assumptions:

 

Exercise price

   $ 3.75  

Fair market value of common stock on measurement date

   $ 3.00  

Option life

     3 years  

Volatility rate

     120 %

Risk free rate of return

     6.0 %

Dividend rate

     0 %

 

Due to the conversion feature associated with the series C-1 preferred stock, we recognized the beneficial conversion feature as a non-cash additional preferred stock dividend. The computed value of the beneficial conversion feature of $1,235,279 was initially recorded as a reduction of the series C-1 preferred stock and an increase to additional paid-in capital. The beneficial conversion feature reduction to the series C-1 preferred stock and the relative fair value of the warrant was accreted as a charge to income applicable to common stockholders on the date of issuance (the date on which the series C-1 preferred stock was first convertible) as follows:

 

Beneficial conversion feature

   $ 1,235,279

Relative fair value of common stock purchase warrant

     735,279
    

Total accretion expense

   $ 1,970,558
    

 

F-25


As a result of the issuance of the series C-1 preferred stock, in accordance with the terms of the original agreements, the conversion prices for the 10% convertible note payable and the series B-2 preferred stock as well as the exercise prices for the second 10% convertible note payable and series B preferred stock warrants were reset in February 2001 (See Note 11).

 

Series B Preferred Stock-

 

On February 18, 2000, we completed a private placement in which we sold 12,500 shares of our series B convertible preferred stock (the “series B preferred stock”), and warrants to purchase 343,750 shares of our common stock. On September 27, 2000, we executed exchange agreements with the holders of our series B preferred stock whereby we redeemed all of the outstanding series B convertible preferred stock in exchange for 12,500 shares of our series B-2 convertible preferred stock (the “series B-2 preferred stock”) that had a stated value of $1,000 per share.

 

We issued five-year warrants to purchase 343,750 shares of our common stock with the series B preferred stock (the “series B preferred stock warrants”). The warrants entitle the holder to purchase one share of our common stock for a purchase price initially set at $20.20, which was equal to 101% of the initial conversion price of the preferred stock, at any time during the five-year period commencing on February 18, 2000. The exercise price for the warrants was subject to being reset based upon future market prices for our common stock every 90 days until January 20, 2003. If the current exercise price was higher than the current market price (the lower of the average closing bid prices for the 10-day period ending on such date or the closing bid price on such date), the exercise price was reset to the market price. In addition, the exercise price is also subject to anti-dilution protection in the event we issue common stock at prices less than the current exercise price for the warrants or the then current price for our common stock and for stock splits, stock dividends and other similar transactions. The current exercise price is $0.245. As a result of the price resets, we recorded additional non-cash expense totaling $21,009 and $85,677 for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. If the conversion price is further reduced, we may be required to record additional charges to expense and such charges may be significant. See Note 11 for details regarding the resets.

 

The warrants were initially valued at $8,622,986 utilizing the Black-Scholes option-pricing model using the following assumptions:

Series B-2 Preferred Stock-

 

On September 27, 2000, we executed exchange agreements with the holders of our series B preferred stock whereby we redeemed all of the outstanding series B convertible preferred stock in exchange for 12,500 shares of our series B-2 preferred stock that had a stated value of $1,000 per share.

 

The series B-2 preferred stock was initially convertible into shares of our common stock at $10.20408 per share (1,225,000 shares in the aggregate) by the holders at any time, so long as the conversion would not result in the holder being a beneficial owner of more than 4.99% of our common stock. The conversion price was subject to anti-dilution protection in the event we issued common stock at prices less than the conversion price for the series B-2 preferred stock or the then current price for our common stock and for stock splits, stock dividends and other similar transactions. As a result of the private placement we completed in February 2001, the conversion price was reset to $2.50 per share. Based on the anti-dilution provision of the series B-preferred stock, we recorded non-cash preferred stock dividends totaling $886,068 in the first quarter of 2001.

 

F-26


On December 31, 2000, the series B-2 preferred stock was subject to an automatic conversion feature, subject to the 4.99% limitation, pursuant to which 10,522 shares were converted into 1,031,136 shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $10.20408 per share. During April and May, 2001, the holder converted 528 shares of series B-2 preferred stock into 211,200 shares of common stock at a conversion price of $2.50 per share. On December 17, 2001, the holder exchanged 200.205 shares of series B-2 preferred stock for 350,205 shares of our common stock. As consideration for such exchange, the holder converted its remaining 250 shares of series B-2 preferred sock into 100,000 shares of our common stock in accordance with the original terms of the preferred stock and agreed to defer payment of approximately $110,000 of interest on the 10% convertible note payable and penalty payments due to January 31, 2002. As a result of the exchange and conversion, all of the series B-2 preferred stock has either been converted or redeemed and retired. The exchange resulted in an additional beneficial conversion feature totaling $191,787, and accordingly, we recorded an additional non-cash preferred stock dividend.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2001, the holder of our series B-2 preferred stock converted 778 shares into 311,200 shares of our common stock at conversion prices per share of $2.50 and exchanged 200 shares for 350,205 shares of our common stock as summarized in the following table:

(10)   INVESTMENT IN JABBER (SEE NOTE 23 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS)

The common stock and series B preferred stock owned by FTTI was subject to anti-dilution protection should Jabber issue stock at less than $1.00 per share, or adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends and other similar transactions.

 

On April 8, 2002, we entered into an agreement with Jabber and FTTI, pursuant to which Webb and FTTI agreed to convert substantially all of their respective shares of Jabber’s preferred stock into shares of Jabber’s common stock as of April 29, 2002 (the “April 2002 FTTI transaction”). As part of the agreement, the pledge by Webb to FTTI of 1,400,000 shares of Webb’s Jabber preferred stock was terminated, Webb exchanged the principal and interest of a $1,100,000 note payable from Jabber for shares of Jabber’s common stock at $1.00 per share and

 

F-27


FTTI converted the principal and interest on a Jabber convertible note for $100,000 into shares of Jabber’s common stock, also at $1.00 per share.

 

As a result of the April 2002 FTTI transaction, Webb recorded a non-cash adjustment to minority interest in Jabber of $1,611,869, which represented the difference between the Jabber losses previously allocated to FTTI and the amount of Jabber losses that would have been allocated to FTTI had the transaction occurred at inception of the FTTI investment in Jabber. Additionally, Webb recorded $3,043,038 as an increase to additional paid-in capital in accordance with SAB 51. The amount was computed as the difference between FTTI’s minority interest balance after the transaction and allocation of the $1,611,869 FTTI minority interest adjustment and multiplying Jabber’s net worth at April 29, 2002, by FTTI’s ownership percentage after the transaction.

 

In a separate transaction, Webb acquired all of the shares of Jabber’s common stock and preferred stock owned by DiamondCluster International, Inc. (“DiamondCluster”), valued at $759,503, in consideration for which Webb issued to DiamondCluster 911,645 shares of Webb’s common stock at $0.67 per share. The resulting difference between the value of the Webb shares issued and the value of the Jabber securities acquired was $122,451, resulting in a reduction in the cost basis for Jabber’s property and equipment and intangible assets, of $86,898 and $35,553, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2002, we recorded $25,180 less in depreciation expense and $35,553 less in amortization expense as a result of this transaction.

During 2001, Webb, Jabber and FTTI entered into several transactions for the purchase of Jabber securities as described below.

 

On May 2, 2001, pursuant to a letter of intent between Webb, Jabber, France Telecom and FTTI, a wholly owned subsidiary of France Telecom, FTTI loaned Jabber $2.5 million pursuant to a convertible promissory note. The convertible promissory note accrued interest at an annual rate of 9.5%. On July 17, 2001, FTTI acquired 2,441 shares of series B convertible preferred stock of Jabber from Jabber in exchange for and in cancellation of principal and interest on the outstanding loan to Jabber of $2,441,000 and acquired directly from Webb 750,000 shares of series A convertible preferred stock of Jabber in consideration for which FTTI paid Webb $750,000.

 

F-28


On September 13, 2001, FTTI purchased an additional 1,750 shares of series B convertible preferred stock for an aggregate consideration of $1,750,000. In addition, subject to the satisfaction of various conditions set forth in the Stock Purchase Agreement, FTTI had the right and potential obligation to purchase an additional 2,000 shares of the series B convertible preferred stock for an aggregate consideration of $2,000,000. The conditions that would have required FTTI to purchase the additional shares were not satisfied and FTTI’s right to acquire the additional shares expired without being exercised.

 

The Stockholders Agreement to which FTTI and Webb are parties: (i) provides that Webb shall not, without the prior written consent of FTTI, sell a number of its shares of Jabber’s securities representing more than 20% of Jabber’s then outstanding capital stock to named competitors of FTTI unless, for certain of the named competitors, the sales price per share is at least three times the price FTTI paid for its preferred shares (on an as-converted basis); (ii) grants to FTTI a right of first refusal to purchase sales of Jabber common stock by Webb (A) to certain named competitors of Jabber if the sales price is at least three times the price FTTI paid for its preferred shares (on an as-converted basis) or (B) if the proposed sale is not to such named competitors but represents 20% or more of Jabber’s then outstanding shares of capital stock; and (iii) gives FTTI the right to participate with Webb on a proportional basis in a proposed sale of Jabber securities by Webb. In addition, the Investor Rights Agreement to which FTTI and Jabber are parties, grants to FTTI the right to participate in future Jabber financings to the extent required for FTTI to maintain its then percentage ownership of Jabber’s capital stock.

 

Jabber Preferred Stock-

 

Each share of series A-1 convertible preferred stock (the “series A-1 preferred stock”) was convertible into one share of Jabber’s common stock at the election of the holders, or automatically into one share of Jabber’s common stock, prior to the closing of a firm commitment underwritten public offering in which the gross proceeds are at least $30 million. The conversion rate was subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends and other similar transactions. In addition, the agreement signed with FTTI provided that FTTI could have participated, on a proportional ownership basis, in sales of series A-1 preferred stock owned by Webb. Webb has also agreed not to sell more than 20% of Jabber’s outstanding securities to up to 10 named competitors of FTTI. At December 31, 2002, all outstanding shares of series A-1 preferred stock had been converted to Jabber common stock.

 

Each share of series A-2 convertible preferred stock (the “series A-2 preferred stock”) was convertible into one share of Jabber’s common stock at the election of the holders, or automatically into either shares of series A-1 convertible preferred stock or common stock upon the occurrence of any of the following: (i) the termination of the Pledge Agreement dated July 6, 2001 by and between Webb and FTTI; (ii) FTTI’s failure to cure timely a breach of the Stock Purchase Agreement, Investor Rights Agreement or Stockholders Agreement, all of which are dated July 6, 2001; or (iii) immediately prior to closing of a firm commitment underwritten public offering in which the gross proceeds are at least $30 million. The conversion rate was subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends and other similar transactions. At December 31, 2002, all of the outstanding shares of series A-2 preferred stock had been converted to Jabber common stock.

 

The series B convertible preferred stock (the “series B preferred stock”) provided for an 8% cumulative dividend through April 29, 2002. Each share of series B preferred stock is convertible into 1,000 shares of Jabber’s common stock at the election of the holders. The conversion rate is subject to anti-dilution protection if Jabber issues its common, series A-1 or series C preferred stock for less than the conversion price of the series B preferred stock ($1.00 per share), and is also subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends and other similar transactions. The holders of the series B preferred stock are entitled to vote together with Jabber’s common stockholders. Each share of series B preferred stock entitles the holders to the number of votes per share equal to the largest number of whole shares of common stock into which the series B preferred stock could be converted. In addition, the holders of the series B preferred stock vote as a separate class on any change in the terms of the series B preferred stock; any increases in the authorized number of shares of common stock or preferred stock; any authorization of a class of preferred stock ranking on a parity with the series B preferred stock; any redemption of common stock or preferred stock junior in rights to the series B preferred stock; any merger with another company resulting in a change of 50% or more in the ownership of Jabber; a sale of the intellectual property of Jabber other than in the normal course of business; or the sale of 20% or more of Jabber to up to 10 named competitors of FTTI. The series B preferred stock also provides for a right of first refusal and participation rights in the event of transfers

of Jabber stock by certain shareholders, and the holders of series B preferred stock are entitled to elect one person to Jabber’s board of directors. At December 31, 2002, the number of series B preferred shares authorized and outstanding totaled 100 shares, all of which are owned by FTTI.

 

The series C convertible preferred stock (the “series C preferred stock”) provided for an 8% cumulative dividend through April 29, 2002. Each share of series C preferred stock is convertible into 1,000 shares of Jabber’s common stock at the election of the holders. The conversion rate is subject to anti-dilution protection if Jabber issues its common stock for less than the conversion price of the series C preferred stock ($1.00 per share), and is also subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends and other similar transactions. The holders of the series C preferred stock are entitled to vote together with Jabber’s common stockholders. Each share of series C preferred stock entitles the holders to the number of votes per share equal to the largest number of whole shares of common stock into which the series C preferred stock could be converted. At December 31, 2002, Webb owned 100 shares of series C preferred stock and an unrelated third-party owned the remaining 25 shares.

 

For the year ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, dividends totaling $125,187 and $156,915, respectively, were accrued on the series B and series C preferred stock held by FTTI and another unrelated third party.

 

 

(11)   RESET OF CONVERSION AND EXERCISE PRICES OF SECURITIES

 

The original terms of our 10% convertible note payable, preferred stock and the warrants issued in connection with those securities provide for anti-dilution provisions in the event we issue common stock at prices less than the current conversion or exercise price for the securities or the then current price for our common stock and for stock splits, stock dividends and other similar transactions. The conversion and exercise prices for these securities were reset on January 17, 2002 (the “January 2002 Reset”) and February 28, 2001 (the “February 2001 Reset”) as a result of financing transactions we entered into on those respective dates (See Notes 8 and 9). The tables that follow calculate the non-cash expense we recorded in 2002 and 2001 as a result of the price resets.

F-30


The non-cash expense is recorded as additional interest expense for the 10% convertible note payable and as an additional deemed preferred stock dividend for the series B-2 and C-1 preferred stock. The non-cash expense is calculated based on the incremental common shares issuable upon conversion and our appropriate common stock value. The additional beneficial conversion feature non-cash expense in 2002 was limited to the net proceeds from the sale of the securities less the amount of beneficial conversion feature expense recorded in previous periods. The calculations of the non-cash expense are presented in the tables that follow.

The exercise price for the series B preferred stock warrants was subject to being reset every 90 days until January 20, 2003, based upon future market prices for our common stock. If the current exercise price was higher than the current market price (the lower of the average closing bid prices for the 10-day period ending on such date or the closing bid price on such date), the exercise price was reset to the market price. The current exercise price is $0.2425 per share. As a result of the exercise price reset, we recorded preferred stock accretion expense totaling $21,009 and $85,677 for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively, using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model as indicated in the tables that follow.

(12)   STOCK OPTION PLANS

 

We have stock option plans for directors, officers, employees and other third parties, which provide for nonqualified and incentive stock options. In addition to the 1995 Stock Option Plan, which provides for the issuance of options for up to 4,500,000 shares of common stock, during 2000, we adopted a second plan, the 2000 Stock Option Plan, which provides for the issuance of options for up to 1,750,000 shares of common stock (collectively the “plans”). The options vest over various terms with a maximum vesting period of 42 months and expire after a maximum of ten years from the date of grant. At December 31, 2002, there were options for 3,210,419 shares of common stock outstanding and options for 2,597,947 shares of common stock were vested, with 3,039,581 options available for future grants under the plans.

 

A summary of the status of the plans as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, and changes during the years then ended is presented in the tables and narrative below:

(A) On March 12, 2002, we entered into a nine-month consulting agreement with an investor relations firm to provide Webb with services to strengthen our shareholder base and enhance company awareness among investors and brokers. Compensation to the firm included a cash retainer fee of $7,000 per month and 25,000 restricted shares of our common stock, which we issued on June 5 and December 21, 2002. We valued the shares of common stock at the fair market value on the grant dates and recorded compensation expense on the grant dates totaling $10,250.

 

(B) On April 23, 2002, Jabber issued a five-year option to purchase 50,000 shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share to an individual in connection with strategic planning consulting services rendered to Jabber. The options vested on the grant date. Jabber recorded non-cash compensation expense on the vesting date of the options valued at $29,707 utilizing the Black-Scholes option-pricing model using the following assumptions:

(C) During 2000, Jabber issued 912,500 shares of its common stock to employees of Jabber, a former officer of Webb and members of the Jabber advisory boards. The shares vested over periods ranging from grant date to two years. We recorded the value of these shares as deferred compensation, totaling $523,700, and recognized the related non-cash expense in the period the shares vested. During the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, we recognized $34,936 and $251,090, respectively, of deferred compensation as non-cash compensation expense. At December 31, 2002, the remaining deferred compensation was zero.

 

(D) In March 2001, we issued a three-year option to purchase 40,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $2.813 per share to a consulting company in connection with investor relation services to be rendered to Webb. The options vested on the grant date. We recorded non-cash compensation expense on the vesting date valued at $82,242 utilizing the Black-Scholes option-pricing model using the following assumptions:

(E) In April 2001, we entered into a six-month agreement with a consulting company to provide Webb with investor relation services. In connection with the agreement, the consulting company earned 2,500 restricted shares of our common stock at the end of each month commencing April 2001. During the term of the agreement, we issued 10,000 shares of our common stock and recorded compensation expense totaling $28,750. In addition, we also issued options to purchase 100,000 shares of our common stock at exercise prices ranging from $2.50 to $5.00 per share with a three-year exercise term. The options vest ratably over the term of the agreement and were fully vested at September 30, 2001. We recorded non-cash compensation expense based on the vesting terms valued at $121,642 applying variable plan accounting pursuant to SFAS 123 and related interpretation EITF-96-18 utilizing the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. We used the following assumptions to calculate the value of the options:

As a result, we recorded compensation expense totaling $27,646 during the three months ended June 30, 2001, which represents the intrinsic value of the accelerated options as follows:

Jabber and France Telecom (collectively France Telecom and its subsidiaries or affiliates, “FT”), an investor in Jabber (See Note 10), have entered into a consulting contract as well as a license agreement for Jabber’s IM software and services.

 

In February 2002, Jabber and FT entered into a $455,000 fixed-priced consulting agreement whereby Jabber provides professional consulting services for general IM technology as well as IM technology integration with FT proprietary product offerings to FT. During 2002, Jabber billed FT $384,772 in fees, of which $372,418 was recognized as revenue with the remaining $12,354 being deferred until 2003. Jabber expects the deferred revenue and the remaining $70,228 to be billed to FT to be recognized as revenue in the first quarter of 2003. At December 31, 2002, all of the revenue recognized in 2002 has been collected in cash, except for $37,932, which was collected in cash in January 2003.

 

In October 2001, FT licensed Jabber’s commercial server application and entered into an annual maintenance and support agreement. Jabber recognized $87,800 in license revenue in 2001 and $19,166 and $31,039 in 2002 and 2001, respectively from the maintenance and support agreement. In October 2002, Jabber entered into an agreement with FT to amend the license agreement (the “FT OEM license”) whereby FT purchased a user-based license including the first year of support and maintenance for $500,000. During 2002, we recognized $425,000 in license revenue and $15,625 in maintenance and support revenue related to this purchase. At December 31, 2002, all of the fees from these license and maintenance and support agreements have been collected in cash.

 

(16) DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

 

On October 16, 2001, we terminated our AccelX local commerce business. In connection with the termination of this business, we granted a perpetual license for software used in this business to Aptas for a license fee of $1 million. The terms of this perpetual license transferred substantially all of our rights and their related value for this technology. In addition, we sold assets used in this business to Aptas for a purchase price of $500,000.

 

In the third quarter of 2001, based upon primarily indications of value from the buyer of our AccelX business, we determined that the carrying amount of the intangible assets related to that business, primarily resulting

from the Update acquisition, were impaired, and a loss was recorded totaling $2,025,322. These losses are included in the loss from discontinued operations. We computed the impairment losses as follows:

For income tax purposes, we have approximately $69.5 million of net operating loss carryforwards that expire at various dates through 2020. The Tax Reform Act of 1986 contains provisions that may limit the net operating loss carryforwards available to be used in any given year in the event of a significant change in ownership. Realization of net operating loss carryforwards is dependent on generating sufficient taxable income prior to the expiration dates.

 

During 2002 and 2001, we increased our valuation allowance by $1,530,908 and $4,739,290, respectively, due mainly to uncertainty relating to the realizability of the 2002 and 2001 net operating loss carryforwards.

 

(19)   EXTRAORDINARY INCOME

 

During 2002, we settled creditor obligations, primarily incurred during 2001 from our terminated AccelX business, for less than face value resulting in extra ordinary income of $257,061 for the year ended December 31, 2002.

(23)   SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

Jabber Financing

 

On March 19, 2003, FTTI, Intel Capital Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Intel Corporation (“Intel”), and Webb purchased an aggregate of 25,218,914 shares of Jabber’s series D convertible preferred stock (“Jabber series D preferred stock”) for an aggregate consideration of $7,200,000 ($.2855 per share). Webb acquired its Jabber series D preferred stock in exchange for the cancellation of $2,200,000 in obligations owed to it by Jabber. In addition, FTTI was issued an additional 10,451,673 shares of Jabber’s common stock in accordance with anti-dilution rights held by FTTI. In addition, all outstanding shares of Jabber’s series B and C preferred stock, 100 and 125 shares, respectively, were converted into 225,000 shares of Jabber’s common stock at conversion prices of $1,000 per share. Following the transaction described above, all authorized but unissued shares of Jabber’s series A-1, A-2, B and C preferred stock (See Note 10) were cancelled.

 

Following the transaction, Jabber’s ownership on an as if fully converted basis is as follows:

Each share of the Jabber series D preferred stock is currently convertible into one share of Jabber’s common stock at the election of the holder, or automatically immediately prior to a public offering of Jabber securities at not less that $1.40 per share and with total gross offering proceeds of not less that $20 million. The conversion rate is subject to anti-dilution protection, based on a weighted average formula, if Jabber issues its securities for less than the purchase price of the Jabber series D preferred stock ($0.2855 per share), and is also subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends and other similar transactions. The holders of the Jabber series D preferred stock are entitled to vote together with Jabber’s common stock holders. Each share of Jabber series D preferred stock entitles the holders to the number of votes per share equal to the largest number of whole shares of common stock into which the Jabber series D preferred stock could be converted. In addition, the holders of the Jabber series D preferred stock vote as a separate class on any change in the terms of the Jabber series D preferred stock; any increase in the authorized number of shares of Jabber series D preferred stock; authorization of any new class or series of shares or reclassification of any class or series of existing shares, having rights, preferences or privileges superior to those of the Jabber series D preferred stock; any amendment to Jabber’s certificate of incorporation; for the purchase, redemption or other acquisition by Jabber of any of its outstanding securities of Jabber; the declaration, payment or issuance of cash dividends to any holders of any class or series of capital stock; the transfer of material assets of Jabber in a transaction not in the ordinary course of business; the liquidation, or dissolution or adoption of a plan of liquidation or dissolution; and or an increase or decrease in the size of the Jabber board. Jabber cannot pay dividends on its common stock unless approved by holders of two-thirds of the outstanding Jabber series D preferred stock, in which case the Jabber series D preferred stock will be paid equal dividends on an as-converted basis

 

If Jabber liquidates, dissolves or winds up its business, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, including a sale of substantially all of its assets, or an acquisition of Jabber, the holders of the Jabber series D preferred stock will be entitled to receive, before any distribution to holders of Jabber’s common stock, the amount of $0.2855 per share plus declared but unpaid dividends. After the holders of the Jabber series D preferred stock have received their liquidation preference, the holders of all classes of preferred stock are entitled to share in any distribution of remaining assets with the holders of common stock on an as-converted basis. However, if the holders of the Jabber

 

F-47


series D preferred stock were to receive more than three times the original purchase price for the shares under the preceding formula, then the Jabber series D preferred shares will forgo their liquidation preference and will instead participate on an as-converted basis with the common shares.

 

The Jabber series D preferred stock purchase agreement contemplates the potential sale of approximately $5,500,000 worth of additional shares of Jabber series D preferred stock on the same terms as the original purchases by Webb, FTTI and Intel, including up to $2,500,000 worth of Jabber series D preferred shares pursuant to an option which will be granted to Webb if a sale to a venture capital investor, acceptable to the holders of the Jabber series D preferred stock, is consummated. The Webb option, if granted, must be exercised by Webb on or before January 31, 2004. The venture capital investor has not been identified and there can be no assurance that this sale will occur and, accordingly, that Webb will be granted the option to acquire additional shares of the Jabber series D preferred stock.

 

The Jabber series D preferred stock purchase agreement provides that, without the prior approval of holders of 66 2/3% of the outstanding shares of Jabber series D preferred stock, Jabber will not engage in any transaction or arrangement for the distribution of Jabber’s securities to the public, except in connection with a qualified public offering; permit any transaction which would result in any of the holders of the Jabber series D preferred stock owning more than 49% of Jabber’s authorized shares of capital stock calculated either by ownership percentage or voting power; or take any other action, other than in connection with a qualified public offering, that would result in Jabber becoming a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In the event that an event has not occurred by January 1, 2005 that would permit Webb to distribute its Jabber securities to the Webb shareholders, Webb may require FTTI, on an annual basis until such an event shall have occurred, to sell Webb 1,000,000 shares of the Jabber common stock held by FTTI, at a purchase price equal to the conversion price for the Jabber series D preferred stock plus interest compounded at 15% per annum. If the 49% ownership limit described above limits Webb’s ability to exercise this right, then the right will be suspended until Webb is able to exercise the right in full within the 49% limitation or upon an event which provides liquidity for all of Jabber’s shareholders, at which time the 49% limitation would be waived.

 

In connection with the transaction, an additional nominee of FTTI is being elected to the Jabber Board of Directors and an additional nominee acceptable to Webb, FTTI and Intel is to be elected to the Jabber Board of Directors. After the transaction there are to be seven members of the Jabber Board of Directors, of which Webb has two position. Following a sale to a venture capital investor as described above, the Jabber Board of Directors is to be reduced to five persons, including one nominee for each of Webb, FTTI, the new venture capital investor and Jabber management and an independent nominee acceptable to Webb, FTTI, Intel and the venture capital investor.

 

In addition, the Jabber series D preferred stock purchase agreement provides that Jabber shall purchase accounting and business software owned by Webb at a rate of $12,000 per month for a period of 21 months commencing April 1, 2003. Webb’s net book value of these software assets at April 1, 2002, is approximately $220,000. In addition, no later than August 31, 2004, Jabber shall purchase Webb’s computer equipment, office furnishings and fixtures and other office equipment at a purchase price of $200,000. Webb’s estimated net book value of these assets at August 31, 2004, is expected to approximate the purchase price.

 

Webb and Jabber are reviewing the effect of the transaction on their results of operations and financial position and we expect Jabber to record a non-cash expense of approximately $4.6 million in the first quarter of. In addition, we have concluded that as a result of the issuance of Jabber’s series D convertible preferred stock and related agreements as well as Webb’s less than 50% ownership in Jabber after the transaction, commencing with the closing of the transaction, Webb will no longer consolidate Jabber’s results of operations and financial position but will rather account for its investment in Jabber under the equity method of accounting. The following represents the financial statements of Webb as of and for the year ended December 31, 2002, excluding the individual results of Jabber. On the date of Jabber’s issuance of series D convertible preferred stock, Webb expects to record an increase to additional paid-in capital in excess of $3 million in accordance with SAB 51. After this adjustment, Webb’s investment in Jabber will reflect its ownership interest in the net assets of Jabber.

FTTI Purchase of Additional Jabber Software Licenses

 

March 19, 2003, FT exercised its option to purchase additional registered user licenses under an OEM license agreement entered into by FTTI and Jabber in October 2002, (See Note 15) including maintenance and support, for an additional $3 million. The terms of the agreement provide for quarterly payments of $750,000. FT also has the right to exercise a second option to purchase an unlimited registered user license including maintenance and support for an additional $2.5 million, payable in quarterly installments of $625,000. The second option expires December 15, 2003. Based on the terms of the agreement, Jabber will recognize approximately $500,000 per quarter in license and maintenance and support revenue through September 30, 2005, or the expiration of the second option, and defer approximately $250,000 of revenue per quarter in 2003 until such time as FT exercises the second option or it expires. Should the second option expire, any remaining deferred revenue related to this contract would be recognized on December 15, 2003.

 

Cost Sharing Arrangement Between Webb and Jabber

 

Webb and Jabber have also formalized certain cost sharing arrangements whereby Jabber has agreed to pay (i) 80% of the cost of two shared employees who provide accounting services for both companies; (ii) 60% of the cost of the Secretary and General Counsel for Webb who performs similar services for Jabber; and (iii) $100,000 annually and 44% of the expenses for the CEO of Webb for services on Jabber’s executive committee. This cost sharing arrangement is for a period of two years commencing on April 1, 2003. We estimate Jabber’s portion of this cost sharing arrangement will be approximately $36,000 per month.

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

MARCH 31, 2003

(UNAUDITED)

 

NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

The sole business of Webb Interactive Services, Inc. (collectively the Company, Webb, we or our) is the ownership of securities of Jabber, Inc. (Jabber). At March 31, 2003, on an as-if converted basis, we owned 43.3% of Jabber’s common stock. On March 19, 2003, Jabber issued 25,218,914 shares of its series D convertible preferred stock for $5 million in gross cash proceeds and the cancellation of $2.2 million convertible notes payable to Webb. As a result of this transaction, Webb’s ownership in Jabber was reduced from 77.8% on as as-if converted basis prior to the transaction to 43.3% immediately after the transaction. With this change in ownership interest, Webb evaluated whether to continue the consolidation method of accounting for Jabber in its financial statements. Webb considered whether it continued to exercise control over the operations of Jabber based on its ownership percentage, voting rights, board of director seats and management influence. Based on this evaluation, Webb has determined that it no longer exercises control over the operations of Jabber, but does exert significant influence. As a result, after March 19, 2003, Webb no longer consolidated the financial results of Jabber with that of its own and began to report its investment in Jabber under the equity method of accounting.

 

These condensed financial statements have been prepared without audit pursuant to rules and regulations of the SEC and reflect, in the opinion of management, all adjustments, which are of a normal and recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations for the periods presented. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions. Such estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as well as disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the accompanying financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire year. The interim financial statements should be read in connection with the financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2002, filed with the SEC.

 

NOTE 2 – RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51. Interpretation 46 establishes accounting guidance for consolidation of variable interest entities that function to support the activities of the primary beneficiary. Interpretation 46 applies to any business enterprise, both public and private, that has a controlling interest, contractual relationship or other business relationship with a variable interest entity. We considered the impact of the adoption of Interpretation 46 related to our investment in Jabber and our conclusion regarding the change to the equity method of accounting discussed in Note 1. We will continue to assess the impact of Interpretation 46 on an ongoing basis as events and circumstances dictate.

 

NOTE 3 – STOCK BASED COMPENSATION PLANS

 

We issue stock options to our employees and outside directors to purchase our stock pursuant to stockholder approved stock option programs. We account for our stock-based compensation plans under the intrinsic value method of accounting as defined by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 (APB 25), Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees and related interpretations. No stock-based employee compensation cost is reflected in net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002 as all options granted under these plans had an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. For pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the options is amortized over the vesting period, typically three years. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if we had accounted for our stock option and stock purchase plans under the fair value method of accounting under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, Accounting and Disclosure of Stock Based Compensation (SFAS 123).

We estimate the fair value of our options using the Black-Scholes option value model, which is one of several methods that can be used to estimate option values. The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. Option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected stock price volatility. Our options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimates. The fair value of options granted in the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, were estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes pricing model with the weighted average assumptions in the table which follows.

NOTE 4 – NET LOSS PER SHARE

 

Net loss per share is calculated in accordance with SFAS No. 128, Earnings Per Share (SFAS 128). Under the provisions of SFAS 128, basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss applicable to common shareholders for the period, subject to certain adjustments, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss for the period by the weighted average number of common and potential common shares outstanding during the period if the effect of the potential common shares is dilutive. As a result of our net losses, all potentially dilutive securities, as indicated in the table below, would be anti-dilutive and are excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share, and there are no differences between basic and diluted per share amounts for all periods presented.

NOTE 5 – INVESTMENT IN JABBER, INC

 

Jabber is a Delaware corporation founded by Webb in February 2000. Jabber is a commercial developer of extensible instant messaging software for enterprises, carriers and service providers that require real-time communication and collaboration solutions. Jabber’s products are based on the standardized extensible message and presence protocol, XMPP, developed by the Jabber.org open-source movement. Jabber instant messaging solutions differ from packaged and consumer instant messaging solutions in the ability of Jabber instant messaging to support and to be integrated with other applications and services. At March 31, 2003, on an as-if converted basis, we owned 43.3% of Jabber’s common stock.

 

As a result of the Jabber investment transaction on March 19, 2003, Webb’s ownership in Jabber was reduced from 77.8% on as as-if converted basis prior to the transaction to 43.3% immediately after the transaction. With this change in ownership interest, Webb evaluated whether to continue the consolidation method of accounting for Jabber in its financial statements. Webb considered whether it continued to exercise control over the operations of Jabber based on its ownership percentage, voting rights, board of director seats and management influence. Based on this evaluation, Webb has determined that it no longer exercises control over the operations of Jabber, but does exert significant influence. As a result, after March 19, 2003, Webb no longer consolidated the financial results of Jabber with that of its own and began to report its investment in Jabber under the equity method of accounting.

 

On March 19, 2003, Webb, France Telecom Technologies Investissements (FTTI) and Intel Capital Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Intel Corporation (Intel), purchased an aggregate of 25,218,914 shares of Jabber’s series D convertible preferred stock for an aggregate consideration of $7,200,000 ($0.2855 per share). Webb’s investment was in the form of the cancellation of its $2.2 million convertible note receivable from Jabber for 7,705,779 shares of Jabber’s series D preferred stock.

 

The Jabber series D convertible preferred stock purchase agreement contemplates the potential sale of approximately $5,500,000 worth of additional shares of Jabber series D convertible preferred stock on the same terms as the original purchases by Webb, FTTI and Intel, including up to $2,500,000 worth of Jabber series D convertible preferred shares pursuant to an option which will be granted to Webb if a sale to a venture capital investor, acceptable to the holders of the Jabber series D convertible preferred stock, is consummated. The Webb option, if granted, must be exercised by Webb on or before January 31, 2004. The venture capital investor has not been identified and there can be no assurance that this sale will occur and, accordingly, that Webb will be granted the option to acquire additional shares of the Jabber series D convertible preferred stock.

 

The Jabber series D convertible preferred stock purchase agreement provides that, without the prior approval of holders of 66 2/3% of the outstanding shares of Jabber series D convertible preferred stock, Jabber will not engage in any transaction or arrangement for the distribution of Jabber’s securities to the public, except in connection with a qualified public offering; permit any transaction which would result in any of the holders of the Jabber series D convertible preferred stock owning more than 49% of Jabber’s authorized shares of capital stock calculated either by ownership percentage or voting power; or take any other action, other than in connection with a qualified public offering, that would result in Jabber becoming a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In the event that an event has not occurred by January 1, 2005 that would permit Webb to distribute its Jabber securities to the Webb shareholders, Webb may require FTTI, on an annual basis until such an event shall have occurred, to sell Webb 1,000,000 shares of the Jabber common stock held by FTTI, at a purchase price equal to the conversion price for the Jabber series D convertible preferred stock plus interest compounded at 15% per annum. If the 49% ownership limit described above limits Webb’s ability to exercise this right, then the right will be suspended until Webb is able to exercise the right in full within the 49% limitation or upon an event which provides liquidity for all of Jabber’s shareholders, at which time the 49% limitation would be waived.

 

In connection with the transaction, an additional nominee of FTTI was elected to the Jabber Board of Directors and an additional nominee acceptable to Webb, FTTI and Intel is eligible to be elected to the Jabber Board of Directors, bringing the total of the Jabber Board of Directors to seven members, of which Webb has two positions. Following a sale to a venture capital investor as described above, the Jabber Board of Directors is to be reduced to

 

F-58


five persons, including one nominee for each of Webb, FTTI, the new venture capital investor and Jabber management and an independent nominee acceptable to Webb, FTTI, Intel and the venture capital investor.

 

Also as a result of the investment transaction in Jabber, Webb recorded an adjustment to equity of $3,472,282 in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 51, Accounting for Sales of Stock by a Subsidiary. The amount was computed as the difference between Webb’s investment in Jabber immediately after the investment transaction and multiplying Jabbers net worth at March 19, 2003, by Webb’s ownership percentage immediately after the investment transaction.

 

In addition, the Jabber series D convertible preferred stock purchase agreement provides that Jabber shall purchase accounting and business software owned by Webb at a rate of $12,000 per month for a period of 21 months commencing April 1, 2003. Webb will record a gain upon the sale of the software of approximately $9,000 and expects to record interest income over the term of the loan of approximately $25,000. In addition, no later than August 31, 2004, Jabber shall purchase Webb’s computer equipment, office furnishings and fixtures and other office equipment at a purchase price of $200,000. Webb’s estimated net book value of these assets at August 31, 2004, is expected to approximate the purchase price.

 

NOTE 6 – SERIES D JUNIOR CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK

 

During the first quarter of 2003, the holder of our series D junior convertible preferred stock converted 800 shares into 800,000 shares of our common stock at conversion prices per share of $1.00 as follows:

NOTE 7 – SEGMENT REPORTING

 

FASB Statement No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information, establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker, or decision making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. Webb has only one reportable business segment.

JABBER, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

MARCH 31, 2003

(UNAUDITED)

 

NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

Jabber, Inc. (Jabber), is a commercial developer of extensible instant messaging (IM) software for enterprises, carriers and service providers that require real-time communication and collaboration solutions. Jabber was incorporated in February 2000 as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Webb Interactive Services, Inc. (Webb), a publicly traded company. At March 19, 2003, as a result of the sale of Jabber’s series D convertible preferred stock, Webb’s ownership in Jabber was 43.3%, on an as-if converted basis. Prior to March 19, 2002, Jabber’s results of operations and financial position were consolidated with those of Webb.

 

These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared without audit pursuant to rules and regulations of the SEC and reflect, in the opinion of management, all adjustments, which are of a normal and recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations for the periods presented. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions. Such estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as well as disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the accompanying financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire year. The interim financial statements should be read in connection with the financial statements included in Webb’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2002, filed with the SEC.

 

NOTE 2 – RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51. Interpretation 46 establishes accounting guidance for consolidation of variable interest entities that function to support the activities of the primary beneficiary. Interpretation 46 applies to any business enterprise, both public and private, that has a controlling interest, contractual relationship or other business relationship with a variable interest entity. Jabber currently has no contractual relationship or other business relationship with a variable interest entity and therefore the adoption did not have an effect on its consolidated financial position or results of operations. However, if Jabber enters into any such arrangement with a variable interest entity in the future, Jabber’s financial position or results of operations may be adversely impacted.

 

NOTE 3 – STOCK BASED COMPENSATION PLANS

 

Jabber issues stock options to its employees and outside directors the right to purchase its stock pursuant to stockholder approved stock option programs. Jabber accounts for its stock-based compensation plans under the intrinsic value method of accounting as defined by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 (APB 25), Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees and related interpretations. No stock-based employee compensation cost is reflected in net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002 as all options granted under these plans had an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. For pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the options is amortized over the vesting period, typically three years. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if we had accounted for our stock option and stock purchase plans under the fair value method of accounting under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, Accounting and Disclosure of Stock Based Compensation (SFAS 123).

Jabber estimates the fair value of its options using the Black-Scholes option value model, which is one of several methods that can be used to estimate option values. The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. Option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected stock price volatility. Jabber’s options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimates. The fair value of options granted in the three months ended March 31, 2002, were estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes pricing model with the weighted average assumptions in the table which follows. There were no option grants during the three months ended March 31, 2003.

During 2002, Jabber and France Telecom, an investor in Jabber, entered into a fixed price consulting contract with a total value of $455,000. During the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, Jabber

 

F-65


recognized $82,582 and $37,932, respectively, in revenue from this contract. In accordance with its original terms, the contract ended February 28, 2003.

 

March 19, 2003, France Telecom exercised its option to purchase additional registered user licenses under an OEM license agreement entered into by France Telecom and Jabber in October 2002, including maintenance and support, for an additional $3 million. The terms of the agreement provide for quarterly payments of $750,000. France Telecom also has the right to exercise a second option to purchase an unlimited registered user license including maintenance and support for an additional $2.5 million, payable in quarterly installments of $625,000. The second option expires December 15, 2003. During the three months ended March 31, 2003, Jabber recognized $311,138 of license revenue and $177,814 in maintenance and support revenue related to this contract. Jabber expects to recognize $329,228 in license revenue and $177,814 in maintenance and support revenue each quarter through September 30, 2005, or the expiration of the second option, and defer $242,958 of revenue per quarter in 2003 until such time as France Telecom exercises the second option or it expires. Should the second option expire, any remaining deferred revenue related to this contract would be recognized on December 15, 2003.

 

In October 2001, France Telecom licensed Jabber’s commercial server application and entered into an annual maintenance and support agreement. Jabber recognized $5,751 in maintenance and support revenue related to this contract during the three months ended March 31, 2002.

 

NOTE 5 – SERIES D CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK

 

On March 19, 2003, France Telecom Technologies Investissements (FTTI), Intel Capital Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Intel Corporation (Intel), and Webb purchased an aggregate of 25,218,914 shares of Jabber’s series D convertible preferred stock (series D preferred stock) for an aggregate consideration of $7,200,000 ($0.2855 per share). Jabber received $4,817,823 in net proceeds, after deducting $182,177 in offering costs. Jabber issued 7,705,779 shares of its series D preferred stock to Webb in exchange for the cancellation of $2,200,000 in obligations Jabber owed to Webb. Jabber also issued FTTI an additional 10,451,673 shares of Jabber’s common stock in accordance with anti-dilution rights held by FTTI. In addition, all outstanding shares of Jabber’s series B and C preferred stock, 100 and 125 shares, respectively, were converted into 225,000 shares of Jabber’s common stock at conversion prices of $1,000 per share.

Each share of the series D preferred stock is currently convertible into one share of common stock at the election of the holder, or automatically immediately prior to a public offering of Jabber securities at not less that $1.40 per share and with total gross offering proceeds of not less that $20 million. The conversion rate is subject to anti-dilution protection, based on a weighted average formula, if Jabber issues its securities for less than the purchase price of its series D preferred stock ($0.2855 per share), and is also subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends and other similar transactions. The holders of the series D preferred stock are entitled to vote together with Jabber’s common stock holders. Each share of series D preferred stock entitles the holders to the number of votes per share equal to the largest number of whole shares of common stock into which the series D preferred stock could be converted. In addition, the holders of the series D preferred stock vote as a separate class on any change in the terms of the series D preferred stock; any increase in the authorized number of shares of series D preferred stock; authorization of any new class or series of shares or reclassification of any class or series of existing shares, having

 

F-66


rights, preferences or privileges superior to those of the series D preferred stock; any amendment to Jabber’s certificate of incorporation; for the purchase, redemption or other acquisition by Jabber of any of its outstanding securities of Jabber; the declaration, payment or issuance of cash dividends to any holders of any class or series of capital stock; the transfer of material assets of Jabber in a transaction not in the ordinary course of business; the liquidation, or dissolution or adoption of a plan of liquidation or dissolution; and or an increase or decrease in the size of the Jabber board. Jabber cannot pay dividends on its common stock unless approved by holders of two-thirds of the outstanding series D preferred stock, in which case the series D preferred stock will be paid equal dividends on an as-converted basis.

 

If Jabber liquidates, dissolves or winds up its business, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, including a sale of substantially all of its assets, or an acquisition of Jabber, the holders of the series D preferred stock will be entitled to receive, before any distribution to holders of Jabber’s common stock, the amount of $0.2855 per share plus declared but unpaid dividends. After the holders of the series D preferred stock have received their liquidation preference, the holders of all classes of preferred stock are entitled to share in any distribution of remaining assets with the holders of common stock on an as-converted basis. However, if the holders of the series D preferred stock were to receive more than three times the original purchase price for the shares under the preceding formula, then the series D preferred shares will forgo their liquidation preference and will instead participate on an as-converted basis with the common shares.

 

The series D preferred stock purchase agreement contemplates the potential sale of approximately $5,500,000 worth of additional shares of series D preferred stock on the same terms as the original purchases by Webb, FTTI and Intel, including up to $2,500,000 worth of series D preferred shares pursuant to an option which will be granted to Webb if a sale to a venture capital investor, acceptable to the holders of the series D preferred stock, is consummated. The Webb option, if granted, must be exercised by Webb on or before January 31, 2004. The venture capital investor has not been identified and there can be no assurance that this sale will occur and, accordingly, that Webb will be granted the option to acquire additional shares of the series D preferred stock.

 

The series D preferred stock purchase agreement provides that, without the prior approval of holders of 66 2/3% of the outstanding shares of series D preferred stock, Jabber will not engage in any transaction or arrangement for the distribution of Jabber’s securities to the public, except in connection with a qualified public offering; permit any transaction which would result in any of the holders of the series D preferred stock owning more than 49% of Jabber’s authorized shares of capital stock calculated either by ownership percentage or voting power; or take any other action, other than in connection with a qualified public offering, that would result in Jabber becoming a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In the event that an event has not occurred by January 1, 2005 that would permit Webb to distribute its Jabber securities to the Webb shareholders, Webb may require FTTI, on an annual basis until such an event shall have occurred, to sell Webb 1,000,000 shares of the Jabber common stock held by FTTI, at a purchase price equal to the conversion price for the series D preferred stock plus interest compounded at 15% per annum. If the 49% ownership limit described above limits Webb’s ability to exercise this right, then the right will be suspended until Webb is able to exercise the right in full within the 49% limitation or upon an event which provides liquidity for all of Jabber’s shareholders, at which time the 49% limitation would be waived.

 

In connection with the transaction, an additional nominee of FTTI was elected to the Jabber Board of Directors and an additional nominee acceptable to Webb, FTTI and Intel is eligible to be elected to the Jabber Board of Directors, bringing the total of the Jabber Board of Directors to seven members, of which Webb has two positions. Following a sale to a venture capital investor as described above, the Jabber Board of Directors is to be reduced to five persons, including one nominee for each of Webb, FTTI, the new venture capital investor and Jabber management and an independent nominee acceptable to Webb, FTTI, Intel and the venture capital investor.

 

As a result of the exchange of series D preferred stock for the convertible notes payable to Webb, Jabber recorded a non-cash loss on extinguishment of debt in the first quarter of 2003 totaling $1,571,900, which was calculated as follows:

As a result of the issuance of an additional 10,451,673 shares of Jabber’s common stock to FTTI in accordance with anti-dilution rights held by FTTI, Jabber recorded a common stock dividend in the first quarter of 2003 totaling $2,983,953, or $0.2855 per share.

 

The series D preferred stock purchase agreement also provides that Jabber shall purchase accounting and business software owned by Webb at a rate of $12,000 per month for a period of 21 months commencing April 1, 2003. Jabber’s cost basis in these assets will be $228,547. Jabber is expected to record approximately $25,000 of interest expense over the term of the loan, computed at a rate of 12% per annum. In addition, no later than August 31, 2004, Jabber shall purchase Webb’s computer equipment, office furnishings and fixtures and other office equipment at a purchase price of $200,000.

Item 2.   MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Our sole business is the ownership of securities of Jabber, Inc. (Jabber), a company we formed in February 2000. Jabber is a commercial developer of extensible instant messaging software for enterprises, carriers and service providers that require real-time communication and collaboration solutions. Jabber’s products are based on the standardized extensible message and presence protocol, XMPP, developed by the Jabber.org open-source movement. Jabber instant messaging solutions differ from packaged and consumer instant messaging solutions in the ability of Jabber instant messaging to support and to be integrated with other applications and services. Jabber began shipping commercial software in 2001.

 

Commencing with the purchase of Jabber’s series D convertible preferred stock on March 19, 2003, by Webb, FTTI and Intel, Webb’s ownership in Jabber was reduced from 77.8% on as as-if converted basis prior to the transaction to 43.3% immediately after the transaction. As a result of this change in ownership interest, Webb ceased consolidating Jabber’s results of operations and financial position and began reporting its investment in Jabber under the equity method of accounting. Webb evaluated whether to continue the consolidation method of accounting for Jabber in its financial statements. Webb considered whether it continued to exercise control over the operations of Jabber based on its ownership percentage, voting rights, board of director seats and management influence. Based on this evaluation, Webb has determined that it no longer exercises control over the operations of Jabber, but does exert significant influence. As a result, after March 19, 2003, Webb no longer consolidated the financial results of Jabber with that of its own and began to account for the investment in Jabber under the equity method.

 

During March 2003, Jabber sold, for $7.2 million, 25,218,914 shares of its newly created series D convertible preferred stock to France Telecom Technologies Investissements (FTTI), Intel Capital Corporation and Webb. Webb acquired its shares by converting $2.2 million of obligations owed to it by Jabber. Following this transaction, Webb owns 18,390,232 shares of Jabber common stock and 7,705,779 shares of Jabber’s series D convertible preferred stock, representing, on an as-if-converted basis, 43.3% of Jabber’s outstanding capital stock.

 

In the first quarter of 2003, as a result of the additional shares of Jabber common stock issued to FTTI in connection with its anti-dilution protection, Jabber recorded a common stock dividend of $2,983,953. Jabber also recorded a non-cash loss on debt extinguishment of $1,571,900 for the exchange of the Webb convertible note payable into shares of Jabber’s series D convertible preferred stock.

 

Webb, as a holding company, has no independent source of revenue and will, therefore, continue to incur, losses from its operations. Webb’s ability to become profitable is dependant on the success of Jabber. Jabber’s ability to become profitable depends on its ability to market its products and services and generate revenues sufficient to exceed its expenses. Because of the new and evolving nature of instant messaging technologies and Jabber’s early stage of development, we cannot be sure that Jabber’s revenue model will prove to be viable, whether demand for its products and services will materialize at the prices it expects to charge, or whether its current or future pricing levels will be sustainable.

 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

Liquidity and capital resources for Webb

 

Amounts included in Webb’s liquidity and capital resources discussion for the first quarter of 2003 and 2002 include the accounts of Webb only and do not reflect the consolidation of Jabber as previously reported so as to present the 2002 numbers on a comparative basis with 2003.

1   Includes $2,025,478 in convertible notes receivable from Jabber.

 

Working capital: Working capital is calculated by deducting current liabilities from current assets. Working capital decreased in the first quarter of 2003 primarily due to funding our operating activities with cash on-hand at December 31, 2002, and investing an additional $195,000 in Jabber.

 

Cash flows used by operating activities: Cash used by operating activities decreased significantly in the first quarter of 2003 compared with the first quarter of 2002 primarily from a decrease in operating expenses totaling $446,000 and the payment of 2001 obligations in the first quarter of 2002 totaling $472,000.

 

Cash flows used by investing activities: Cash used by investing activities decreased primarily from investing $905,000 less cash in Jabber during the first quarter of 2003. As a result of the Jabber financing in March 2003, Webb is not planning any additional direct funding of Jabber, other than the potential participation in the second series D convertible preferred stock financing. See Item 1 – Financial Statements – Note 5 to Notes to Condensed Financial Statements for additional details regarding the potential participation in the second series D convertible preferred stock financing.

 

Cash flows from financing activities: Cash provided from financing activities decreased primarily from the completion of the sale our common stock and warrants to purchase our common stock in the first quarter of 2002 for which we received $7.5 million in proceeds.

 

In connection with the Jabber financing in March 2003, Webb and Jabber formalized a two-year cost sharing arrangement commencing April 1, 2003, whereby Jabber has agreed to pay (i) 80% of the cost of two shared employees who provide accounting services for both companies; (ii) 60% of the cost of the Secretary and General Counsel for Webb who performs similar services for Jabber; and (iii) $100,000 annually for salary and 44% of the expenses of the CEO of Webb for serving on Jabber’s executive committee. We estimate that we will receive approximately $36,000 per month from Jabber for this cost sharing arrangement. In addition, commencing April 1, 2003, we will receive from Jabber $12,000 per month for 21 months for the purchase of third-party business software we own and we will receive $200,000 on August 31, 2004, from Jabber for the purchase of computer equipment, office furnishings and fixtures and other office equipment. We believe our cash on-hand of approximately $828,000 at April 24, 2003, will be sufficient to fund Webb’s operating expenses through at least May 2005. Webb’s operating expenses are generally fixed in nature and include compensation costs, investor relations and the cost associated with being a public company. Our monthly cash requirements, after the cost sharing arrangement and the sale of property and equipment to Jabber, are forecasted to average approximately $31,000 for the remainder of 2003, $32,000 for 2004 and $63,000 for 2005.

1 Includes $2,025,478 in convertible notes payable to Webb.

 

Working capital: Working capital is calculated by deducting current liabilities from current assets. Working capital increased in the first quarter of 2003 primarily from $5 million in gross cash proceeds Jabber received from the sale of its series D convertible preferred stock.

 

Cash flows used by operating activities: Cash used by operating activities decreased slightly in the first quarter of 2003 compared with the first quarter of 2002 primarily from an increase of $489,000 in collections from customers resulting from increased revenues which was partially offset by an increase of $164,000 in the first quarter of 2003 in cash used to pay operating expenses.

 

Cash flows used by investing activities: Jabber used $8,182 in investing activities for the purchase of property and equipment in the first quarter of 2003, compared with $16,672 for the first quarter of 2002. Jabber plans to spend approximately $405,000 for property and equipment for the remainder of 2003.

 

Cash flows provided by financing activities: Cash provided from financing activities increased in the first quarter of 2003 primarily from the completion of the sale of Jabber’s series D convertible preferred stock for which Jabber received $4.8 million in net cash proceeds. Jabber also received $175,000 in net convertible notes payable from Webb, which was $925,000 less than Jabber received in 2002.

 

As a result of the $5 million in gross cash proceeds Jabber received from the sale of its series D convertible preferred stock in March 2003, we believe that Jabber is adequately funded through cash break-even, which we expect to occur during the fourth quarter of 2003. Based on our current financial forecasts, Jabber will use approximately $780,000 in net cash for operating and investing activities for the remainder of 2003 and thereafter is expected to generate sufficient cash flow from operations to sustain its operations. Jabber’s projected use of cash is predicated on Jabber meeting its revenue projections and managing its expense levels to forecasted amounts. We estimate 2003 revenues for Jabber to increase to $8.4 million, and to more than $18 million in 2004. Software license fees are projected to account for 65% of net revenues in 2003 and 72% in 2004. We estimate Jabber’s operating expenses to be $9.9 million for 2003 and to increase to $14.7 million for 2004. Jabber has a limited operating history upon which to base its projections, particularly its revenue projections, and there can be no assurance that Jabber will be able to meet its projections for revenues and expenses. In addition, since many of Jabber’s expenses are fixed or must be incurred in advance of revenues, Jabber’s working capital requirements could increase significantly over projected levels if Jabber does not meet its revenue projections. Therefore, Jabber may require more cash for its operations than our current projections indicate. In this circumstance, Jabber may have to seek additional funding or reduce its operating activities.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Results of operations for Webb

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Webb’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). These accounting principles require us to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions. We believe that the estimates, judgments and assumptions upon which we rely are reasonable based upon information available to us at the time that these estimates, judgments and assumptions are made. These estimates, judgments and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. To the extent there are material differences between these estimates, judgments or assumptions and actual results, Webb’s financial statements will be affected. The significant accounting policies that we believe are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating Webb’s reported financial results include accounting for our investment in Jabber and impairment of long-lived assets.

 

In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by GAAP and does not require management’s judgment in its application. There are also areas in which management’s judgment in selecting among available alternatives would not produce a materially different result. Webb’ senior management has reviewed these critical accounting policies and related disclosures with our Audit Committee. See Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2002, Item 7 – Financial Statement – Note 2 to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, which contain additional information regarding Webb’s accounting policies and other disclosures required by GAAP.

 

Accounting for Investment in Jabber

 

We report our investment in Jabber using the equity method of accounting whereby we record our percentage of Jabber’s net income or losses as an increase or a reduction to the carrying value of our investment account on our balance sheet and as income or losses on our results of operations. To the extent that we record losses from Jabber, our investment account will not be reduced below zero, unless at some future date we become obligated to fund future Jabber losses, if any. The use of the equity method of accounting represents a change on how we reported our investment in Jabber prior to March 19, 2003, the date on which Jabber sold shares of its series D convertible preferred stock to FTTI, Intel and Webb. Prior to this date, we consolidated the operations of Jabber with our own.

 

As a result of the March 19, 2003, Jabber financing, our ownership in Jabber was reduced from 77.8% on as as-if converted basis prior to the transaction to 43.3% immediately after the transaction. With this change in ownership and the additional terms of the Jabber series D convertible preferred stock (See Item 1 – Financial Statements – Note 5 to Notes to Condensed Financial Statements), we evaluated whether to continue the consolidation method of accounting for Jabber in our financial. We considered whether we continued to exercise control over the operations of Jabber based on its ownership percentage, voting rights, board of director seats and management influence. Based on this evaluation, we have determined that we no longer exercises control over the operations of Jabber, but does exert significant influence and therefore we changed from consolidating Jabber’s operations with our own to reporting our investment in Jabber using the equity method of accounting.

 

We shall continue to evaluate the facts and circumstances of our relationship with Jabber on an as needed basis in our continuing evaluation of our reporting method related to Interpretation 46 for other guidance which may become available in the future. A change in our relationship with Jabber or the issuance of future guidance, if any, on consolidating subsidiaries may change the method we use to report Jabber in our results of operations.

 

F-72


Long-Lived Assets

 

We account for long-lived assets, such as our investment in Jabber and our property and equipment, in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (SFAS 144). SFAS 144 requires us to review our long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, and impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Assets to be disposed of would be separately presented in the balance sheet and reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell, and are no longer depreciated. The assets and liabilities of a disposed group classified as held for sale would be presented separately in the appropriate asset and liability sections of the balance sheet.

 

Operating Expenses:

 

Our sole business is the ownership of securities of Jabber, Inc., a company we formed in February 2000. We also conduct corporate activities such as accounting, administration, public reporting and financing activities for both Webb and Jabber. We reduce our expenses by amounts reimbursed to us by Jabber. Webb’s parent-only unaudited statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, are presented below had Webb not consolidated Jabber for the first quarter of 2002 or through March 19, 2003, for the first quarter of 2003.

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of employee compensation, and other costs associated with being a public company, including investor relations, shareholder communications and legal and accounting fees. General and administrative expenses were $208,543 for the first quarter of 2003, compared with $768,794 for the first quarter of 2002. The decrease was primarily from (i) a decrease of $211,000 in employee compensation expense; (ii) a reduction of $84,000 in office rent and telecommunication expenses due to the assignment of the lease to Jabber; (iii) a decrease of $67,000 in legal and accounting fees; (iv) incurring $31,000 in expenses for a special shareholder meeting in the first quarter of 2002; (v) incurring $31,000 in Nasdaq listing fees in the first quarter of 2002; and (vi) a decrease of $28,000 in personal property tax. We estimate Webb’s general and administrative expenses to be approximately $690,000 for the remainder of 2003.

 

F-73


Depreciation was $68,168 for the first quarter of 2003, compared to $119,662 for first quarter of 2002. The decrease is primarily from no depreciation being recorded in the first quarter of 2003 on assets which became fully depreciated in periods since the first quarter of 2002. After considering the sale of third-party business software to Jabber in April 2003, commencing in the second quarter of 2003, we expect depreciation expense to be approximately $13,000 per month.

 

Interest Income:

 

Interest income was $1,611,750 for the first quarter of 2003, compared to $14,337 for the first quarter of 2002. During the first quarter of 2003, we recorded non-cash interest income of $1,571,900 resulting from additional shares of Jabber’s series D convertible preferred stock issued pursuant to anti-dilution provisions under the terms our convertible notes payable.

 

Loss on investment in Jabber:

 

Jabber is a commercial developer of extensible instant messaging software for enterprises, carriers and service providers that require real-time communication and collaboration solutions. At March 31, 2002, we owned 43.8% of Jabber stock, on an as-if converted basis. Prior to March 19, 2003, we owned 74.8% of Jabber stock.

 

As of March 19, 2003, in conjunction with the Jabber financing transaction, we ceased consolidating Jabber’s results of operations and financial position with our own and began reporting our investment in Jabber under the equity method of accounting. Prior to March 19, 2003, our investment in Jabber and our share of Jabber’s losses were eliminated in consolidation. During the first quarter of 2003, we recorded $2,436,127 in losses from Jabber, compared with $1,555,176 for the first quarter of 2002. The increase in losses was primarily from increased losses in Jabber.

 

Net Loss Applicable to Common Stockholders:

 

Net loss allocable to common stockholders was $1,101,088 for the first quarter of 2003 compared with $4,451,785 for the first quarter of 2002. The decrease was primarily from (i) a reduction in operating expenses of $611,745; (ii) recording non-cash expenses in the first quarter of 2002 related to our 10% convertible note payable for loss on debt extinguishment of $1,162,934 and interest expense of $513,678; (iii) recording non-cash accretion expense in the first quarter of 2002 on our preferred stock securities; and (iv) recording $1,571,900 of non-cash interest income related to the cancellation and issuance of Jabber securities to us. These reductions were partially offset by an increase of $880,951 in losses from our investment in Jabber in the first quarter of 2003 and preferred stock dividends and extraordinary income we recorded in the first quarter of 2002 of $154,772 and $224,811, respectively. We expect Webb’s losses to be approximately $880,000 for the remainder of 2003.

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Jabber’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). These accounting principles requires Jabber to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions. Jabber believes that the estimates, judgments and assumptions upon which it relies are reasonable based upon information available to it at the time that these estimates, judgments and assumptions are made. These estimates, judgments and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. To the extent there are material differences between these estimates, judgments or assumptions and actual results, Jabber’s financial statements will be affected. The significant accounting policies that we believe are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating Jabber’s reported financial results include revenue recognition and accounting for software development costs.

 

F-74


In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by GAAP and does not require management’s judgment in its application. There are also areas in which management’s judgment in selecting among available alternatives would not produce a materially different result. Jabber’s senior management has reviewed these critical accounting policies and related disclosures with Webb’s Audit Committee. See Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2002, Item 7 – Financial Statement – Note 2 to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, which contain additional information regarding Jabber’s accounting policies and other disclosures required by GAAP.

 

Revenue Recognition -

 

Jabber derives revenues from two primary sources: (1) software license revenues and (2) services revenues, which include maintenance and support contracts and professional service contracts. While the basis for software license revenue recognition is substantially governed by the provisions of Statement of Position No. 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, issued by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (SOP 97-2), as amended, Jabber exercises judgment and use estimates in connection with the determination of the amount of software license and services revenues to be recognized in each accounting period. For software license arrangements that do not require significant modification or customization of the underlying software, Jabber recognizes revenue when: (1) it enters into a legally binding arrangement with a customer for the license of software; (2) it delivers the products or perform the services; (3) customer payment is deemed fixed or determinable and free of contingencies or significant uncertainties; and (4) collection is probable. Substantially all of Jabber’s license revenues are recognized in this manner.

 

Many of Jabber’s software arrangements include implementation or customization services sold separately under professional services engagement contracts. Revenues from these arrangements are generally accounted for separately from the license revenue because the arrangements qualify as “service transactions” as defined in SOP 97-2. The more significant factors considered in determining whether the revenue should be accounted for separately include the nature of services (it is consideration of whether the services are essential to the functionality of the licensed product), degree of risk, availability of services from other vendors, timing of payments and impact of milestones or acceptance criteria on the realizability of the software license fee. If an arrangement does not qualify for separate accounting of the license and service transactions, then license revenue is generally recognized together with the consulting services based on contract accounting using either the percentage-of-completion or completed-contract method as described below. Contract accounting is also applied to any arrangements: (1) that include milestones or customer specific acceptance criteria, which may affect collection of the license fees; (2) where services include significant modification or customization of the software; (3) where significant consulting services are provided for in the contract without additional charges; or (4) where the license payment is tied to the performance of consulting services. For arrangements with multiple elements, Jabber allocates revenue to each element of a transaction based upon its fair value as determined in reliance on “vendor specific objective evidence.” Vendor specific objective evidence of fair value for all elements of an arrangement is based upon the normal pricing practices for those products and services when sold separately and, for maintenance and support services, is additionally measured by the renewal rate. If Jabber cannot objectively determine the fair value of any undelivered elements included in bundled software and service arrangements, Jabber defers revenue until all elements are delivered, services have been performed, or until fair value can objectively be determined. When the fair value of a license element has not been established, Jabber uses the residual method to record license revenue if the fair value of all undelivered elements is determinable. Under the residual method, the fair value of the undelivered elements is deferred and the remaining portion of the arrangement fee is allocated to the delivered elements and is recognized as revenue. Jabber’s license arrangements generally do not include acceptance provisions. However, if acceptance provisions exist we recognize revenue once the software has been accepted. Jabber assesses whether fees are fixed or determinable at the time of sale and recognize revenue if all other revenue recognition requirements are met.

 

Revenue for consulting services is generally recognized as the services are performed. If the project is of a short duration or there is a significant uncertainty about the project completion, revenue is recognized on the completed contract method. If there is uncertainty about receipt of payment for the consulting services, revenue is deferred until the uncertainty is sufficiently resolved. Jabber estimates the percentage of completion on contracts with fixed or “not to exceed” fees on a monthly basis utilizing hours incurred to date as a percentage of total estimated hours to complete the project. If Jabber does not have a sufficient basis to measure progress towards

 

F-75


completion, revenue is recognized when Jabber receives final acceptance from the customer. When total cost estimates exceed revenues, Jabber accrues for the estimated losses immediately based upon out standard fully burdened hourly rates. The complexity of the estimation process and issues related to the assumptions, risks and uncertainties inherent with the application of the percentage of completion method of accounting affect the amounts of revenue and related expenses reported in our consolidated financial statements. A number of internal and external factors can affect Jabber’s estimates, including labor rates, utilization and efficiency variances and specification and testing requirement changes.

 

Software Development Costs -

 

Software development costs for new software products to be sold or marketed externally for resale are accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 86, “Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed” (SFAS 86). Under this accounting statement, software development costs are expensed until technological feasibility has been established upon completion of a detailed program design and are then capitalized until the software product is generally available for sale. Capitalized software costs are amortized to expense over its estimated useful life. In making such a determination, management must exercise judgment with respect to determining when the software has reached technological feasibility, the nature of the particular enhancement as well as the economic useful life of the software and/or the related enhancement. Given the early stage of adoption of enterprise-based IM technology and Jabber’s rapidly evolving product offerings, it is difficult to estimate the economic life of Jabber’s software products. However, Jabber’s management has estimated that the economic life is very short, and the economic life of any enhancements would not exceed 12 months. Consequently, Jabber has expensed product development costs in the period incurred. In future periods, as Jabber’s business continues to evolve, we may determine that product development costs should be capitalized and such amounts could be significant given our projected expenditures.

 

Revenues:

 

Jabber’s total revenue for the first quarter of 2003 increased 36% to $1,167,017 compared to $861,053 for the first quarter of 2002. Jabber’s results for the first quarter of 2003 compared to its first quarter of 2002 reflected increased license revenue and service revenue. The revenue mix between license fees and services was 53% and 47%, respectively, for the first quarter of 2003 compared with 68% and 32%, respectively, for the first quarter of 2002. The change in the revenue mix is primarily a result of an increase in maintenance and support revenues recognized in connection with the France Telecom license. Approximately 49% of Jabber’s total revenues in the first quarter of 2003 were from France Telecom, an investor in Jabber, compared with 5% of total revenues in the first quarter of 2002.

License fee revenue represents fees earned for granting customers licenses to use Jabber software products. For the first quarter of 2003, Jabber recognized $617,222 in license revenue, which represents a 5% increase when compared to $588,899 for the first quarter of 2002. The increase was a result of additional sales of Jabber’s products as the number of customers more than doubled and additional license purchases from existing customers, which, including France Telecom, represented 66% of license revenues during the first quarter of 2003. Jabber recognized $311,138 in license fee revenue from France Telecom in the first quarter of 2003 which represented 50% of total license fee revenue recognized in the quarter. Jabber is forecasting revenues from license fees to be $4.8 million for the remainder of 2003 and to increase to $15.0 million in 2004.

 

Professional service revenue represents fees earned for custom programming, installation and integration services of Jabber software products, generally with larger enterprise organizations. Professional service contracts are typically entered into in conjunction with the licensing of Jabber’s software. Professional service revenues were $263,180 for the first quarter of 2003, which represents a 25% increase when compared with $210,233 for the first quarter of 2002. The increase was a result of a higher sales volume and more of our customers entering into professional service contracts in the first quarter of 2003. Jabber recognized revenue in the first quarter of 2003 on twelve professional service contracts compared to three in the first quarter of 2002, which included a single fixed price contract which comprised 81% of professional service revenue in the first quarter of 2002. Jabber also recognized $82,582 in revenue from France Telecom in the first quarter of 2003, or 31% of professional service revenue. Jabber is forecasting revenues from professional service contracts to be $1.2 million for the remainder of 2003 and increase to $3.0 million in 2004.

 

Maintenance and support fee revenues are derived from annual support and maintenance contracts associated with the sale of Jabber’s software products. Annual fees for maintenance and support are generally 15% to 18% of the license fee revenue and the related revenue is recognized over the term of the contract. Customers may purchase maintenance and/or support contracts for which they receive telephone support and product updates and upgrades during the term of the agreement. Customers are not obligated to purchase maintenance and support. Maintenance and support fees were $286,615 for the first quarter of 2003 compared to $61,921 for the first quarter of 2002. The increase was a result of $177,814 of revenue recognized from France Telecom, or 62% of maintenance and support revenue, $36,374 in revenue recognized from maintenance and support contract renewals and an increase in the number of customers under maintenance and support contracts, which increased from 12 in the first

 

F-77


quarter of 2002 to 43 in the first quarter of 2003. Jabber is forecasting revenues from support and maintenance agreements to be $1.2 million for the remainder of 2003 and increase to $2.5 million in 2004.

 

Revenues from France Telecom: During 2002, Jabber and France Telecom, an investor in Jabber, entered into a fixed price consulting contract with a total value of $455,000. During the first quarter of 2003 and 2002, Jabber recognized $82,582 and $37,932, respectively, in revenue from this contract. In accordance with its original terms, the contract ended February 28, 2003.

 

March 19, 2003, France Telecom exercised its option to purchase additional registered user licenses under an OEM license agreement entered into by France Telecom and Jabber in October 2002, including maintenance and support, for an additional $3 million. The terms of the agreement provide for quarterly payments of $750,000. France Telecom also has the right to exercise a second option to purchase an unlimited registered user license including maintenance and support for an additional $2.5 million, payable in quarterly installments of $625,000. The second option expires December 15, 2003. During the first quarter of 2003, Jabber recognized $311,138 of license revenue and $177,814 in maintenance and support revenue related to this contract. Jabber expects to recognize $329,228 in license revenue and $177,814 in maintenance and support revenue each quarter through September 30, 2005, or the expiration of the second option, and defer $242,958 of revenue per quarter in 2003 until such time as France Telecom exercises the second option or it expires. Should the second option expire, any remaining deferred revenue related to this contract would be recognized on December 15, 2003.

 

In October 2001, France Telecom licensed Jabber’s commercial server application and entered into an annual maintenance and support agreement. Jabber recognized $5,751 in maintenance and support revenue related to this contract during the first quarter of 2002.

 

Operating Expenses:

 

Cost of license fees consist of software delivery expenses and were $3,241 for the first quarter of 2003 compared to $178 for the first quarter of 2002. During 2002, Jabber entered into a contract to imbed a third-party software component into its products for which Jabber will pay a 2.7% license fee based royalty for sales which include the third-party software. Jabber expects to begin selling its products which include this third-party software in the third quarter of 2003.

 

Cost of professional service revenues consists of compensation and contract labor costs associated with performing custom programming, installation and integration services for Jabber’s customers. Jabber accounts for these costs as either direct project costs or overhead costs to manage its professional services organization. Cost of professional service revenues was $134,040 for the first quarter of 2003, or 51% of net professional service revenues, compared to $87,688, or 42% of net professional service revenues for the first quarter of 2002. The increase was primarily from higher volume of professional service revenue and the use of contract employees at higher hourly cost rates compared with our internal cost rate for employees. Jabber expects cost of professional service revenue to be 43% of net professional service revenues for the remainder of 2003 and 44% in 2004.

 

Gross margin on professional services revenue was 49% for the first quarter of 2003 compared with 58% for the first quarter of 2002. The decrease in gross margin was primarily from $37,000 in overhead costs associated with managing more projects which was not fully absorbed into direct project costs. The gross margin on direct project costs was 63% for the first quarter of 2003 compared to 58% for the first quarter of 2002. The increase was a result of higher effective hourly billing rates on a higher volume of contracts.

 

Cost of maintenance and support revenue was $31,491 for the first quarter of 2003, or 11% of net maintenance and support revenues, compared to $23,079, or 37% of net maintenance and support revenues for the first quarter of 2002. Jabber expects cost of support and maintenance revenues to be 10% of support and maintenance revenues for the remainder of 2003 and 25% in 2004. Projected increases in costs associated with delivering these services are expected to result only to the extent required to support new customer contracts.

 

F-78


Gross margin on maintenance and support revenue was 89% for the first quarter of 2003 compared with 63% for the first quarter of 2002. The increase is primarily from using the similar cost structure to support a customer base which was more than 3.5 times larger from the first quarter of 2002 and which generated $224,694 more in revenue.

 

Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of employee compensation, cost of travel, advertising and public relations costs, trade show expenses, and costs of marketing materials. Sales and marketing expenses were $422,866 for the first quarter of 2003, or 36% of net revenues, compared to $355,340, or 41% of net revenues for the first quarter of 2002. The increase was primarily from (i) incurring $56,000 more in costs associated with Jabber’s international sales office which was opened in April 2002; (ii) an increase in tradeshow expense of $26,000; (iii) an increase in public relations costs of $23,000; and (iv) an increase of $20,000 related to demand generation marketing campaigns. These increases were partially offset by a reduction in bonus expense of $33,000 in the first quarter of 2003. Jabber expects sales and marketing expenses to increase on an absolute dollar basis in future periods as Jabber continues to market its products and services, develop business relationships and execute its sales plan. Jabber estimates sales and marketing expenses to be approximately $2.7 million for the remainder of 2003.

 

Product development expenses consist primarily of employee compensation and programming fees relating to the development and enhancement of the features and functionality of Jabber’s software products. During 2003 and 2002, all product development costs were expensed as incurred. Product development expenses were $709,850 for the first quarter of 2003, or 61% of net revenues, compared to $652,868 or 76% of net revenues for the first quarter of 2002. The increase was primarily from increases in contract labor expense of $93,000 which supplemented Jabber’s employee-based development team and consulting expense of $20,000 related to Jabber’s efforts to have the Jabber XMPP protocol declared an internet standard by the Internet Engineering Task Force. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in bonus expense of $59,000 in the first quarter of 2003. Jabber believes that significant investments in product development are critical to attaining its strategic objectives and, as a result, Jabber expects product development expenses to continue to increase in future periods. Jabber estimates product development expenses to be approximately $2.7 million for the remainder of 2003.

 

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of employee compensation, consulting expenses, fees for professional services, and non-cash expense related to stock and warrants issued for services. General and administrative expenses were $494,719 for the first quarter of 2003, or 42% of net revenues, compared with $726,594, or 84% of net revenues for the first quarter of 2002. The decrease was primarily from (i) a decrease in compensation costs of $139,000 as a result of reducing headcount by one employee and salary reductions by executives; (ii) $30,000 in non-cash compensation expense incurred in the first quarter of 2002 related to grants of Jabber’s common stock; and (iii) incurring $26,000 less in travel costs primarily due to fewer trips to Europe. Jabber expects general and administrative expenses to increase in future periods as it continues to build the administrative infrastructure needed to support its business. Jabber estimates general and administrative expenses to be at least $1.8 million for the remainder of 2003.

 

Depreciation and amortization was $54,473 for the first quarter of 2003 compared to $426,407 for the first quarter of 2002. The decrease was primarily from $381,000 of amortization expense recorded in the first quarter of 2002 related to intangible assets that were fully amortized at June 2002.

 

Other Income and Expenses:

 

Interest expense is a result of outstanding convertible notes payable to Webb which accrued interest at 9.5% per annum and was $38,647 for the first quarter of 2003, compared to $5,336 for the first quarter of 2002. The increase was from higher loan balances owed to Webb during the first quarter of 2003.

 

Loss on debt extinguishment was $1,571,900 for the first quarter of 2003 resulting from the exchange of the convertible note payable to Webb for shares of Jabber’s series D convertible preferred stock. The loss was calculated by multiplying the increase in the number of common shares issuable upon conversion by the fair market value of our common stock on the date the transaction closed. Refer to Item 1 – Financial Statements – Note 5 to Notes to Condensed Financial Statements for a description of this transaction.

 

F-79


Net Loss Applicable to Common Stockholders:

 

Net loss allocable to common stockholders was $2,294,302 for the first quarter of 2003, including $1,571,900 in non-cash loss on debt extinguishment. Net loss allocable to common stockholders was $1,665,354 for the first quarter of 2002, which included $251,548 in preferred stock dividends. After taking into consideration the loss on debt extinguishment recorded in the first quarter of 2003, net loss applicable to common stockholders decreased by $942,952 primarily from (i) a $306,000 increase in revenue, (ii) a $232,000 reduction in general and administrative expense; and (iii) a $381,000 decrease in amortization related to intangible assets that were fully amortized at June 30, 2002. Jabber expects to incur approximately $1.0 million in losses for the remainder of 2003 due to the significant time between product development and market introduction as well as the long sales cycle for most of it products and continued increases in operating expenses during 2003, due to the continuing development of its business.

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED TO BE IN PROSPECTUS

 

Item 24.   Indemnification of Directors and Officers

 

Our articles of incorporation provide that we shall indemnify, to the full extent permitted by Colorado law, any of our directors, officers, employees or agents made or threatened to be made a party to a proceeding, by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of Webb against judgments, penalties, fines, settlements and reasonable expenses incurred by the person in connection with the proceeding if the person conducted himself or herself in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to our best interests, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”) may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

 

Our articles of incorporation limit the liability of our directors to the fullest extent permitted by Colorado law. Specifically, the articles of incorporation provide that our directors will not be personally liable for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as directors, except for:

 

    any breach of the duty of loyalty to us or our shareholders;

 

    acts or omissions not in good faith or that involved intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;

 

    dividends or other distributions of corporate assets that are in contravention of statutory or contractual restrictions; or

 

    any transaction from which the director derives an improper personal benefit.

 

Liability under federal securities law is not limited by the articles of incorporation.

Item 28.   Undertakings

 

The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

 

1. To file, during any period in which it offers or sells securities, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement to:

 

a. Include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

 

b. Reflect in the prospectus any facts or events which, individually or together, represent a fundamental change in the information in the registration statement;

 

c. Include any additional or changed material information on the plan of distribution.

 

2. That, for determining liability under the Securities Act, to treat each post-effective amendment as a new registration statement of the securities offered, and the offering of the securities at that time to be the initial bona fide offering.

 

3. To file a post-effective amendment to remove from registration any of the securities that remain unsold at the end of the offering.

 

4. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”) may be directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

 

5. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred and paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered hereby, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
