NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2003

(UNAUDITED)

 

NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

The sole business of Webb Interactive Services, Inc. (collectively the Company, Webb, we, us or our) is the ownership of securities of Jabber, Inc. (Jabber). At September 30, 2003, on an as-if converted basis, we owned 43.6% 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 of convertible notes payable to Webb. As a result of this transaction, 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. 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. While Webb does exert significant influence, Webb has determined that it no longer exercises control over the operations of Jabber. As a result, after March 19, 2003, Webb ceased consolidating the financial results of Jabber in its financial statements 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 – 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 and nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, as all options granted under these plans had an exercise price equal to or greater than 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. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share as 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. There were no options granted in the three months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002. The fair value of options granted in the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, were estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes pricing model with the assumptions in the table which follows.

NOTE 3 – 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 4 – 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.

 

As a result of the Jabber investment transaction on March 19, 2003, 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. 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. While Webb does exert significant influence, Webb has determined that it no longer exercises control over the operations of Jabber. As a result, on March 20, 2003, Webb ceased consolidating the financial results of Jabber with its financial statements and began to report its investment in Jabber under the equity method of accounting.

 

On March 19, 2003, Webb, France Telecom Technologies Investissements, a wholly-owned subsidiary of France Telecom (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 a $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. If that 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. Following a sale to a venture capital investor as described above, the Jabber Board of Directors is to be comprised of 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 Jabber’s net worth at March 19, 2003, by Webb’s ownership percentage immediately after the investment transaction. The series D preferred stock purchase agreement also provided for Jabber to purchase business software owned by Webb at a rate of $12,000 per month for a period of 21 months commencing April 1, 2003. Webb recorded a gain upon the sale of the software of approximately $8,500 and expects to record interest income over the term of the loan of approximately $25,000. In addition, the series D preferred stock agreement also provides that 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.

 

In addition, during September 2003, Webb acquired 60,000 shares of Jabber’s common stock for $34,993 from two individual Jabber stockholders. As a result, Webb’s ownership in Jabber increased from 43.3% to 43.6% at September 30, 2003.

NOTE 5 – STOCK BASED COMPENSATION EXPENSE

 

In April 2003, we entered into a six-month agreement with a consulting company to provide Webb with investor relation services. In connection with the agreement, we issued the consulting company a three-year warrant to purchase 100,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share, which vest 50,000 shares on July 16, 2003 and 50,000 on October 14, 2003. We applied variable plan accounting pursuant to SFAS 123 and related interpretations and valued the warrant at $61,907 utilizing the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the assumptions in the table that follows. The value of the warrant is being amortized to expense over the term of the agreement and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003, we recorded $30,953 and $56,748, respectively, of non-cash compensation expense.

In April 2003, we entered into a month-to-month agreement with a consulting company to provide Webb with investor relation services including stock support. In connection with the agreement, we issued two separate three-year options to purchase 10,000 shares each of our common stock at $1.00 per share. The first option vests ratably over a three-month period beginning on May 2, 2003. The second option vests based on an average daily trading volume for any 60-day trading period subsequent to the date of the option agreement. At September 30, 2003, no shares from the second option were vested. We applied variable plan accounting pursuant to SFAS 123 and related interpretations and valued the option and recorded non-cash compensation expense in the nine months ended September 30, 2003, totaling $5,931 utilizing the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the assumptions in the table that follows.

On October 21, 2003, we entered into an agreement with Jona whereby on November 12, 2003, we issued Jona 1,800,000 shares of our restricted common stock in exchange for all of the then outstanding Warrants. As a result of the exchange, in the fourth quarter of 2003 we will record a credit to accumulated deficit of $6,787,989, calculated as the difference between the fair value of the warrants and the fair market value of the common stock on November 12, 2003, as follows:

UNAUDITED SUPPLEMENTAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

RECONCILIATION OF WEBB PARENT ONLY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS TO AS REPORTED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

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. Due to this change in ownership, on March 20, 2003, Webb ceased consolidating the financial results of Jabber with Webb’s financial statements and began to report its investment in Jabber under the equity method of accounting. Presented below are the unaudited consolidating financial statements for all periods in which Webb consolidated Jabber’s results of operations with its own to aid the reader in better understanding the financial statements of Webb for all periods presented. The amounts in the column labeled “Consolidated” represent the presentation in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) and the amounts reported in our financial statements.

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

 

Our sole business is the ownership of securities of 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.

 

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. Due to 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 determined that while it exercises significant influence on Jabber’s operations, it no longer exercises control over Jabber’s operations. As a result, on March 20, 2003, Webb ceased consolidating the financial results of Jabber with those of Webb and began to account for its investment in Jabber under the equity method.

 

Webb, as a holding company, has no independent source of revenue and will, therefore, continue to incur losses from its operations. Webb’s value is dependant upon 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.

 

During September 2003, Webb acquired 60,000 shares of Jabber’s common stock for $34,993 from two individual Jabber stockholders. As a result, Webb’s ownership in Jabber increased from 43.3% to 43.6% at September 30, 2003.

 

During 2002, we completed a private placement with Jona, Inc. (Jona) in which we sold 7,500,000 shares of our common stock and warrants representing the right to purchase an aggregate of 10,060,000 shares of our common stock at a warrant exercise price of $1.00 per share (the Warrants). On October 21, 2003, we entered into an agreement with Jona whereby on November 12, 2003, we issued Jona 1,800,000 shares of our restricted common stock in exchange for all of the then outstanding Warrants. As a result of the exchange, in the fourth quarter of 2003 we will record a credit to accumulated deficit of $6,787,989, calculated as the difference between the fair value of the warrants and the fair market value of the common stock on the date the stock was issued, November 12, 2003.

 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

Amounts included in Webb’s liquidity and capital resources discussion for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, include the accounts of Webb only and do not reflect the consolidation of Jabber as previously reported in the financial statements included herein and in our annual report on Form 10-KSB as previously filed so as to present the 2002 numbers on a comparative basis with 2003. Included in the reported financial statements and not reflected below are the consolidated results of Jabber for the full year ended December 31, 2002, and through March 19, 2003, for the nine months ended September 30, 2003. See the unaudited supplemental financial information for a reconciliation of Webb’s stand-alone financial statements presented below to its consolidated financial statements as reported for these periods.

1 Includes a $168,233 note receivable from Jabber.
2 Includes $2,025,477 in convertible notes receivable from Jabber.

 

Working capital: Working capital is calculated by deducting current liabilities from current assets. Working capital decreased during the nine months ended September 30, 2003, as compared with December 31, 2002, primarily due to funding our operating activities with cash on-hand at December 31, 2002, the conversion of the convertible notes receivable from Jabber and investing an additional $195,000 in Jabber during the first quarter of 2003.

 

Cash flows used in operating activities: Cash used in operating activities decreased significantly during the nine months ended September 30, 2003,as compared with the similar 2002 period primarily due to a decrease in operating expenses totaling $703,000 and the payment of 2001 obligations in the first quarter of 2002 totaling $472,000.

 

Cash flows used in investing activities: Cash used in investing activities decreased during the nine months ended September 30, 2003, primarily due to investing $2.5 million less cash in Jabber as compared with the similar 2002 period. 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 4 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 in the 2003 nine-month period was zero. Cash provided from financing activities in the 2002 nine-month period is primarily a result of sale of 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 through March 31, 2004, from Jabber for this cost sharing arrangement. In addition, commencing April 1, 2003, we began receiving from Jabber $12,000 per month for 21 months for the purchase of third-party business software we owned and we will receive an additional $200,000 by 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 $557,000 at October 31, 2003, will be sufficient to fund Webb’s operating expenses to at least April 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 $32,000 for the remainder of 2003, $28,000 for 2004 and $59,000 for 2005.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Amounts included in Webb’s results of operations discussion for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, include the accounts of Webb only and do not reflect the consolidation of Jabber as previously reported in the financial statements included herein and in our annual report on Form 10-KSB as previously filed so as to present the 2002 numbers on a comparative basis with 2003. Included in the reported financial statements and not reflected below are the consolidated results of Jabber for the full year ended December 31, 2002, and through March 19, 2003, for the nine months ended September 30, 2003. See the unaudited supplemental financial information for a reconciliation of Webb’s stand-alone financial statements presented below to its consolidated financial statements as reported for these periods.

 

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. 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 Statements – Note 2 to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, which contains 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 4 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.

 

20


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.

 

Operating Expenses:

 

Our sole business is the ownership of securities of Jabber, 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 for its share of these costs. Webb’s parent-only unaudited statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, are presented below. See the unaudited supplemental financial information for a reconciliation of Webb’s stand-alone financial statements presented below to its consolidated financial statements as reported for these periods.

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 $214,235 for the third quarter of 2003, compared with $261,710 for the third quarter of 2002. General and administrative expenses were $710,794 for the 2003 nine-month period, compared with $1,413,901 for the similar 2002 period. The decreases in the 2003 three-and-nine-month periods were primarily from (i) an increase in shared costs paid by Jabber of $61,000 and $101,000, respectively; (ii) a decrease in office rent expense of $18,000 and $99,000, respectively, due to the assignment of the lease for our corporate offices to Jabber; (iii) a decrease in computer and telecommunications expenses of $9,000 and $60,000, respectively, as these costs were transferred to Jabber in connection with Jabber’s operation of office facilities previously paid for by Webb; (iv) a decrease in accounting and legal fees of $15,000 and $78,000 respectively; and (v) a decrease of $12,000 and $41,000, respectively, for our annual report and shareholder meeting. The reductions in the 2003 three-and-nine-month periods were partially offset by non-cash compensation expense of $31,000 and $58,000, respectively, we recorded for the issuance of warrants and options to investor relation consultants and by increases of $16,000 and $18,000, respectively in cash expense for investor relations. General and administrative

expenses were further reduced in the 2003 nine-month period by (i) a decrease in compensation expense of $203,000; (ii) a reduction of $84,000 in usage, property, and expatriate tax expense; and (iii) $25,000 in Nasdaq listing fees incurred in the 2002 nine-month period. We estimate Webb’s general and administrative expenses to be approximately $135,000 for the remainder of 2003.

 

Depreciation was $30,004 for the third quarter of 2003, compared to $71,740 for the third quarter of 2002 and was $131,189 for the 2003 nine-month period, compared to $265,053 for the similar 2002 period. The decrease is primarily from no depreciation being recorded in the 2003 periods on assets which became fully depreciated in periods since the first and second quarters of 2002 and no depreciation recorded in the third quarter of 2003 for the business software assets we sold to Jabber in April 2003, which had a net book value of $220,059.

 

Interest Income:

 

Interest income was $5,890 for the third quarter of 2003, compared to $29,765 for the third quarter of 2002 and was $1,624,508 for the 2003 nine-month period, compared to $62,681 for the similar 2002 period. We recorded interest income from Jabber of $6,000 and $21,000 in the 2003 and 2002 three-month periods respectively; and $1,622,000 and $33,000 in the 2003 and 2002 nine-month periods, respectively. Included in the interest income from Jabber in the 2003 nine-month periods is $1,571,900 of non-cash interest income we recorded from additional shares of Jabber’s series D convertible preferred stock issued to us pursuant to anti-dilution provisions under the terms of our convertible notes receivable. The non-cash interest income was eliminated in our consolidated financial statements.

 

Loss on investment in Jabber:

 

At September 30, 2003, we owned 43.6% 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 third quarter of 2003, we recorded $614,836 in losses from Jabber, compared with $1,231,473 for the third quarter of 2002. During the 2003 nine-month period, we recorded $3,635,967 in losses from Jabber, compared with $4,449,903 for the similar 2002 period. The decreases in losses in the 2003 periods were primarily from the decrease in our percentage of Jabber’s losses between periods, which ranged from 78% to 93% in 2002 and was 43.3% to 43.6% in 2003.

 

In addition, Jabber’s net loss applicable to common stockholders was $1.42 million for the third quarter of 2003, which represented a $178,000 increase when compared to a net loss applicable to common stockholders of $1.24 million for the third quarter of 2002. Jabber’s net revenues were $964,000 for the 2003 three-month period, compared with $927,000 for the similar 2002 period. The revenue mix between license fees and services was 44% and 56%, respectively, for the 2003 three-month period, compared with 51% and 49%, respectively, for the similar 2002 period. France Telecom, a related party, represented 53% of Jabber’s net revenues for the 2003 three-month period, compared with 13% for the similar 2002 period. The increase in net loss applicable to common stockholders was primarily from a $227,000 increase in operating expenses. Jabber’s operating expenses were $2.38 million for the third quarter of 2003, compared with $2.15 million for the third quarter of 2002. The increase in operating expenses was primarily from $255,000 more in sales and marketing and $119,000 more in product development expenses. These increases were partially offset by a $157,000 decrease in cost of revenues in the third quarter of 2003 as a result of less professional services revenue in the third quarter of 2003.

 

For the 2003 nine-month period, Jabber’s net loss applicable to common stockholders was $5.06 million, which included a $1.57 million non-cash loss on debt extinguishment, compared with $4.89 million, which included $325,000 in non-cash preferred stock dividend expense. Jabber’s net revenues were $3.10 million for the 2003 nine-month period, which represented a $946,000 increase when compared with $2.15 million for the similar 2002 period. The increase reflected increased license revenue and service revenue. The revenue mix between license fees and services was 52% and 48%, respectively, for the 2003 nine-month period, compared with 55% and 45%, respectively, for the similar 2002 period. France Telecom, a related party, represented 51% of Jabber’s net revenues for the 2003 nine-month period, compared with 13% for the similar 2002 period. Jabber’s operating expenses were

 

22


$6.55 million for the 2003 nine-month period, compared with $6.69 million for the similar 2002 period. The decrease in Jabber’s operating expenses was primarily from a $680,000 decrease in amortization expense related to intangible assets that were fully amortized at September 2002. This decrease was partially offset by increases in sales and marketing expenses and product development expenses of $378,000 and $294,000, respectively.

 

As of October 31, 2003, Jabber had not recognized revenue with respect to signed contracts for approximately $6.5 million, including approximately $1.7 million for France Telecom, a related party, and $4.5 million for Oracle Corporation (Oracle), for product licenses (68% of total) and maintenance and support and professional services (32% of total), of which approximately $3.6 million is expected to be recognized in the fourth quarter of 2003. With respect to the $4.5 million from Oracle, the initial acceptance criteria has been satisfied but there are additional acceptance criteria which have not been satisfied as of the date of this report. We expect the additional acceptance criteria to be satisfied in the fourth quarter of 2003, resulting in the recognition of approximately $2.8 million in revenue in the fourth quarter. In addition, of the remaining unrecognized revenue of $2 million, excluding Oracle, approximately $492,000 is for services we expect to be provided in fiscal 2003, but which have not been provided as of the date of this report and $338,000 is for licenses for which the revenue is being recognized pro rata over the term of the purchase contract.

 

At September 30, 2003, Jabber’s cash and cash equivalents were $2.02 million, which represented an increase of $1.69 million over $331,000 in cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2002. The increase was primarily from $5 million in gross proceeds Jabber received from the sale of its series D convertible preferred stock in March 2003 which was partially off set by $3.19 million of cash used to fund its operations in the 2003 nine-month period, which was $184,000 less when compared to $3.37 million in cash used to fund its operations for the similar 2002 period.

 

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 and continue into 2004. Jabber’s projected use of cash is predicated on Jabber meeting its revenue projections and managing its expense levels to budgeted amounts. Based on Jabber’s current financial forecasts, revenues for 2003 are now forecasted to be approximately $7.8 million compared to the $8.4 million Jabber originally forecasted. Notwithstanding the lower revenues for the year, Jabber will still generate approximately $1.8 million in net cash flows from operations during the fourth quarter of 2003. Jabber is in the process of preparing its 2004 financial forecasts and has not finalized its revenue forecast for 2004. Given the lengthy sales cycle for Jabber’s products and the slower than projected ramp up in Jabber’s revenues for 2003, Jabber’s revenues for 2004 are expected to be less than the previously forecasted revenue levels of more than $18 million. However, Jabber still expects to generate positive cash flow from operations in 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.

 

Net Loss Applicable to Common Stockholders:

 

Net loss applicable to common stockholders was $854,052 for the third quarter of 2003, compared to $1,545,545 for the third quarter of 2002 and was $2,845,820 for the 2003 nine-month period, compared to $8,061,393 for the similar 2002 period. The decrease in the third quarter of 2003 was primarily from a reduction of $617,000 in losses we recorded from Jabber. The decrease in the 2003 nine-month period was primarily from (i) a reduction in operating expenses of $837,000; (ii) recording non-cash expenses in the first quarter of 2002 related to our 10% convertible note payable for loss on debt extinguishment of $1,163,000 and interest expense of $514,000; (iii) recording $649,000 of non-cash accretion expense in the 2002 nine-month period on our preferred stock securities; and (iv) recording $1,572,000 of non-cash interest income in the first quarter of 2003 related to the cancellation and issuance of Jabber securities to us. These reductions were partially offset by preferred stock dividends from Jabber and extraordinary income we recorded in the 2002 three-and nine-month periods of $199,000 and $226,000, respectively. Before recording losses from Jabber, we expect Webb’s losses to be approximately $152,000 for the remainder of 2003.

FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS

 

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 future results include, but are not limited to, the following items as well as the information in “Item 1 – Financial Statements – Notes to the Condensed Financial Statements” and “Item 2 – 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 into 2003. We have incurred net losses since we began our business totaling approximately $127 million through September 30, 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 April 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 $1.16 per share and as low as $0.35 per share between January 1, 2003 and November 12, 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 November 12, 2003, we had issued warrants and options to acquire approximately 5.8 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 $2.97 per share. We had also reserved 984,000 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.

 

24


The significant number of shares issuable upon conversion or exercise of our derivative securities could make it difficult to obtain additional financing. 984,000 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 November 12, 2003 these shares consist of:

 

  Up to 984,000 shares issuable upon conversion of our series D junior convertible preferred stock; and

 

  Approximately 5.8 million shares issuable to warrant and option holders.

 

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.

 

Jabber’s operations may be adversely affected by a change in its senior management. Rob Balgley, President and CEO of Jabber, has resigned and been retained to serve as interim President/CEO until the earlier of December 1, 2003, or the date when Jabber hires a new President/CEO. Jabber has retained an executive search firm to assist it in hiring a new President/CEO and has begun interviewing candidates for this position. However, there can be no assurance that a new President/CEO will be hired by December 1, 2003. Jabber’s operations and business could be adversely affected if Mr. Balgley’s replacement is not found by December 1, 2003, and by disruptions in Jabber’s normal management activities that are likely to occur during the search process and the transition period following the hiring of a new President/CEO.

 

25


A limited number of Jabber’s customers generate a significant portion of its revenues. Jabber had two and four customers representing 70% and 73% of revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003, respectively. 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;

 

  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 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 nine 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.

 

26


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.

 

Item 3. Controls and Procedures

 

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer/Chief Financial Officer, has conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as this term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer/Chief Financial Officer has concluded that, as of the end of the period, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

Item 2. Changes in Securities and Use of Proceeds.

 

On November 12, 2003, we issued 1,800,000 shares of our common stock to one investor in exchange for the investor surrendering warrants to purchase 10,060,000 shares of our common stock. The exercise price of each surrendered warrant was $1.00 per share. The investor is accredited and was provided the opportunity to meet with our management. The certificate evidencing the shares bears a legend stating that the shares may not be offered, sold or transferred other than pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or an exemption from the registration requirements. No underwriting commissions or discounts were paid with respect to the sales of the shares. The shares were exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in reliance upon Section 4(2) as a transaction by an issuer not involving a public offering.
