PART I

Item 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS.

General

Our sole business is the development of extensible instant messaging/presence software and products through ownership of securities of Jabber, Inc. (Jabber), a company we formed in February 2000. Jabber is a commercial developer of extensible instant messaging/presence products for enterprises, government agencies, telecommunications companies, internet service providers and original equipment manufacturers 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 their ability 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) 308-3225.

Our annual report on Form 10-KSB, quarterly reports on Form 10-QSB, current reports on Form 8-K, and all amendments to such reports filed pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act are available, free of charge, on or through our Internet website located at www.webb.net, as soon as reasonably practicable after they are filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Investment Considerations

Investors should consider all of the information contained in this report including the factors discussed under Item 1 – Description of Business –Factors That May Affect Future Results, Item 6 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operations, and Item 7 – Financial Statements before making an investment decision with regard to our securities.

Some of the statements made in this report 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 reform 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 the negatives of these terms or other variations on these words or comparable terminology. To the extent this report contains forward-looking statements regarding the financial condition, operating results, business prospects or any other aspect of our or Jabber’s business, you should be aware that our and Jabber’s 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 we believe may cause actual future experience and results to differ from their current expectations. These differences may be caused by a variety of factors, including but not limited to adverse economic conditions, intense competition, including entry of new competitors, inability to obtain sufficient financing to support our or Jabber’s operations, progress in research and development activities, variations in costs that are beyond our or Jabber’s control, adverse federal, state and local government regulation, unexpected costs, lower sales and net income, or higher net losses than forecasted, price increases for equipment, inability of Jabber to raise prices, failure of Jabber to obtain new customers, the possible fluctuation and volatility of Jabber’s operating results and financial condition, Jabber’s inability to carry out marketing and sales plans, Jabber’s loss of key executives, and other specific risks that may be alluded to in this report.

Jabber, Inc.

The Market. Instant messaging (IM) combines communication, presence awareness and convenience to provide users with the opportunity for personal real-time interaction. 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. Jabber is targeting the following markets:


Table of Contents
    Enterprises – Jabber provides instant messaging solutions for companies that require secure communications internally and between customers and suppliers to reduce process friction and increase efficiency of transactions. In 2005, Jabber introduced JabberNow, a turnkey appliance that can be easily connected to existing systems to provide secure and interoperable messaging solutions for small to medium-sized businesses.

 

    Financial Services - Financial services firms, including investment banks, brokerages, commodity traders, and hedge funds depend on timely information to speed the throughput and volume of financial transactions and to gain a competitive edge. Jabber’s solutions are used to build real-time transactional trading systems and delivering up-to-the-minute information to the financial services work force.

 

    Government Agencies - Government agencies, including federal intelligence agencies, Department of Defense and state agencies, are deploying Jabber’s solutions to facilitate real-time communication exchange between intra- and inter-agency users. These agencies are able to bridge the gap between traditional independent sources of information, knitting together the right people at the right time, which may be particularly useful in times of crisis.

 

    Telecommunications Companies and Internet Service Providers – Land-line and mobile telecommunication providers and internet service providers, use Jabber’s solutions to provide IM services for their customers.

 

    Technology OEMs - Technology companies who create and sell their own technology solutions use Jabber’s solutions to extend real-time presence information into their core products. These companies select Jabber because it is open, extensible, scalable, and standards-based, and gives them a time-to-market advantage when compared to building their own presence-based solution.

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. The Jabber.org IM protocol, XMPP, has been approved by the Internet Engineering Task Force as an internet standard. 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. 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 IM-based applications.

 

    System, not a 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 standards-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 a 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.

Table of Contents

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 and promoting the more rapid deployment of the XMPP protocol.

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 generally is released under commercial license agreements that do not make the software code freely available. Jabber software is, however, fully compatible with the free Jabber.org IM software.

Employees

At March 31, 2006, Webb had 1 part-time employee in a management position.

Management

Officers of Webb are as follows:

 

Name

   Age   

Position

Lindley Branson    63    Vice President and General Counsel (Principal Executive and Principal Financial Officer)

Lindley Branson, joined Webb as Vice President and General Counsel in May 1999 and served as Secretary and General Counsel of Jabber from its formation in February 2000 to March 2005. Mr. Branson has been a partner with the Minneapolis law firm of Gray, Plant, Mooty, Mooty & Bennett, P.A. for more than thirty years, with an emphasis in corporate finance, mergers and acquisitions and general corporate law.

FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS

Webb 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 34% of Jabber’s outstanding common stock on an as-if 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 Item 6 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operations.

Factors Relating to Webb

Our independent auditors have raised doubts about our ability to continue as a going concern. Based upon funds available to us at December 31, 2005, our independent auditors have expressed doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern if we are unable to raise additional funds.

We will need to raise additional working capital to sustain our operations. We estimate that we need to raise approximately $200,000 to sustain our operations for each year we remain a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and approximately $120,000 per year if we cease to be a reporting company. There is no assurance that we will be able to raise additional operating capital.

 

-3-


Table of Contents

Additional funding for Jabber could reduce further our ownership interest in Jabber. Jabber raised $3 million of operating capital through a sale of its series E preferred stock on April 8, 2005 and September 30, 2005 and is currently seeking to raise additional working capital to support current operations and to expand its product development and marketing efforts. In the event that Jabber obtains additional equity investments, Webb’s percentage ownership of Jabber would be further reduced.

We expect to continue to incur net losses. We have incurred net losses since we began our business totaling approximately $121 million through December 31, 2005, including approximately $67 million of non-cash expenses. We expect to incur additional net losses during fiscal 2006 and thereafter for so long as Webb remains a holding company.

Our lack of a CEO/CFO could adversely affect our business. Since the resignation of our CEO/CFO during September 2004, we have not had any full-time employees and our Vice President/General Counsel has been our principal executive and principal financial officer. Due to our limited financial resources, we do not intend to hire a full-time CEO/CFO and currently do not expect to fill this position. The lack of a CEO/CFO could have a material adverse affect on our business, including our ability to participate in the development of our Jabber subsidiary.

Trading in our common stock may diminish if we cease to be a reporting company. If we are not able to raise additional operating capital, we will not be able to maintain our status as a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In this event, many brokers who are currently willing to engage in transactions in our common stock may be unwilling to continue to do so because there is likely to be substantially less information regarding our operations available to our shareholders and to potential investors, thereby making it more difficult for our shareholders and purchases of our common stock to dispose of their shares.

An investment in our common stock is risky because the price of our stock is highly volatile. Our common stock closed as high as $0.50 per share and as low as $0.05 per share between January 1, 2005 and March 31, 2006. 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 or Jabber’s operating performance;

 

    Fluctuations in Jabber’s 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 options, warrants, and convertible securities to acquire our common stock that could have a dilutive effect on our shareholders. As of March 31, 2006, we had outstanding warrants and options to acquire approximately 1.5 million and 2.4 million shares, respectively, of our common stock, exercisable at prices of $1.00 per share and from $0.55 to $19.06 per share, respectively, with a weighted average exercise price of approximately $1.00 and $1.65 per share, respectively. We had also reserved 734,000 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 may 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.

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 March 31, 2006 these shares consisted of:

 

    Up to 734,000 shares issuable upon conversion of our series D junior convertible preferred stock; and

Table of Contents
    Approximately 1.5 million and 2.4 million shares issuable to warrant and option holders, respectively.

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 business model upon which investors 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 Jabber’s business plan to address marketplace and technological changes.

Jabber plans on raising additional working capital. Jabber estimates that it will require approximately $2 million or more of additional working capital to fund operations through 2006. There can be no assurance that Jabber will be able to raise the funds or if available, that the funds will be available on terms and conditions acceptable to Jabber’s shareholders.

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 margins 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 or its distribution partners in marketing Jabber’s products and services.

Because of the new and evolving nature of enterprise 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. A few customers have accounted for a significant portion of Jabber’s revenues. 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.

 

-5-


Table of Contents

Jabber must identify and develop markets for its products and services. Suitable markets for Jabber’s products and services may not develop or, if they do develop, they may take years 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 suitable markets 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 and IBM, 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. While Jabber’s sales cycle varies from customer to customer, it is long, typically ranging from two to nine months or more. 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.

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.

Item 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY.

During 2005, Webb subleased from Jabber approximately 175 square feet of office space in Denver, Colorado, until August 2005, at a base monthly rental of $650. Webb currently does not lease any office space from Jabber, but does continue to use Jabber’s offices as its corporate offices.

Item 6. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATIONS.

GENERAL

Our sole business is the development of extensible instant messaging/presence software and products through 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, government agencies, telecommunications companies, internet service providers and independent distributors of software that require real-time communication and collaboration solutions. 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.

On each of April 8, 2005 and September 30, 2005, Jabber sold $1.5 million ($3 million in the aggregate) worth of Jabber’s series E preferred stock. As a result of these transactions, Webb’s percentage ownership of Jabber was reduced from approximately 43% to approximately 34% of Jabber’s outstanding common stock on an as-if converted basis.

Webb has no independent source of revenue and will, therefore, continue to incur losses from its operations. Webb’s value is dependent 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.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Based on funds available to us at December 31, 2005, our independent auditors expressed doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern if we are unable to raise additional funds.

1 Includes note and other receivables from Jabber of $249,249 at December 31, 2004.

Working capital: Working capital is calculated by deducting current liabilities from current assets. Working capital decreased during 2005 due to funding our loss from operations with cash and a note and other receivables on-hand at December 31, 2004. The only additions to current assets during 2005 were from the sale of our Netherlands subsidiary to Jabber for $6,649 and a refund of $20,905 for taxes paid in the Netherlands for two former employees.

Cash flows used in operating activities: Cash used in operating activities has decreased during 2005, primarily due to a decrease in operating expenses.

Cash flows provided by investing activities: Cash provided by investing activities increased in 2005 as a result of more collections on our note and other receivables from Jabber.

We have initiated efforts to raise additional operating capital. We estimate that we will require approximately $200,000 of additional operating capital per year to sustain our status as a reporting company. In the event that we are not able to raise additional working capital, we will be required to terminate our status as a

Table of Contents

reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. We estimate that the cost of maintaining our operations as a non-reporting company would be approximately $120,000 per year. There can be no assurance that we will be able to raise additional operating capital or, if we are able to raise operating capital, that the terms upon which such capital is available will be acceptable.

Jabber’s financial plan for 2006 projects (i) total revenues of approximately $9.8 million based on total sales of approximately $12 million for software sales, professional services and maintenance and support services, and (ii) total expenses of approximately $13.7 million. Based on Jabber’s financial plan for 2006, Jabber will not achieve positive cash flow from operations until at least fiscal 2007. Jabber believes it has adequate capital to fund its operations to at least July 2006, but that it will require approximately $2 million or more of additional operating capital to fund the operations through 2006 and is currently attempting to raise additional operating capital. Sales represent amounts invoiced to customers during the stated period.

Critical Accounting Policies

General

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 years 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 Item 7 – Financial Statements – Note 2 to Notes to Financial Statements, which contains additional information regarding Webb’s accounting policies and other disclosures required by GAAP.

Stock Option Accounting

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 123R, Share-Based Payment. SFAS No. 123R replaced SFAS No. 123 and superseded APB 25. SFAS No. 123R will require compensation cost related to equity-based payment transactions to be recognized in financial statements. SFAS No. 123R requires measurement of the cost of equity-based payment transactions to employees at the estimated fair value of the award on the grant date and recognition of expense over the requisite service or vesting period. SFAS No. 123R requires implementation using a modified version of prospective application, under which compensation expense for the unvested portion of previously granted awards and all new awards will be recognized on or after the date of adoption. SFAS No. 123R also allows companies to adopt SFAS No. 123R by restating previously issued financial statements, basing the amounts on the expense previously calculated and reported in the pro forma footnote disclosures required under SFAS No. 123. The provisions of SFAS No. 123R will be adopted by Webb effective for the fiscal year ending December 2006. Webb did not grant any stock options during 2005 and the application of SFAS No. 123R for the year ended December 31, 2005, would not have had a material effect on Webb’s net loss for the year.

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 carrying amount of our investment in Jabber as of December 31, 2005 was zero compared to $422,348 at December 31, 2004.

We will 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.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2005 and 2004

Operating Expenses:

Our sole business is the development of extensible instant messaging/presence software through the development of extensible instant messaging/presence software through 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.

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of employee compensation, and other costs associated with being a public company, including insurance, shareholder communications and legal and accounting fees. General and administrative expenses decreased in 2005, compared with 2004, primarily from (i) a decrease in employee compensation and related expenses, including travel costs; (ii) a decrease in legal fees; and (iii) a decrease in accounting and investor relation fees. These reductions were partially offset by a decrease in shared costs paid by Jabber.

On January 1, 2005, we ceased recording depreciation expense as on December 31, 2004, we sold to Jabber or otherwise disposed of our then remaining property and equipment.

Other income consisted of approximately $6,600 received in connection with the sale of our Netherlands subsidiary to Jabber and approximately $21,000 in refunds for Netherlands taxes paid for two former employees.

Loss on investment in Jabber:

During the first quarter of 2005, we recorded $422,348 in losses from Jabber, which reduced our investment in Jabber for carrying purposes to zero. The losses we recorded from our investment in Jabber for 2005 were limited by approximately $725,000, as we have no obligation to fund Jabber losses and therefore our investment in Jabber is not reduced below zero.

Jabber’s net loss was approximately $3.4 million for 2005, compared to a net loss of approximately $2.7 million for 2004. Jabber’s net revenues were $6,877,080 for 2005, compared with $5,374,683 for 2004. The revenue mix between license fees and services, including maintenance and support services, was 52% and 48%, respectively, for 2005, compared with 57% and 43%, respectively, for 2004. France Telecom, a related party, represented 29% of Jabber’s net revenues for 2005, compared with 32% for 2004. The increase in Jabber’s operating expenses in 2005, compared to 2004 was primarily due to increases in employee compensation expenses, cost of revenues, product development expenses and sales and marketing expenses.

At December 31, 2005, Jabber’s cash and cash equivalents were $0.7 million which represented a decrease of $0.69 million compared to $1.39 million in cash and cash equivalents at December 31,2004. The decrease was primarily from the approximately $3.4 million of cash used to fund operating activities in 2005, offset by approximately $2.6 million of net cash provided by financing activities.

Net Loss:

Net loss was $678,227 for 2005, compared to $1,916,713 for 2004. The decrease in losses for 2005 was primarily from the decreases in losses we recorded in connection with our investment in Jabber and a decrease in our compensation expenses.

Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2004 and 2003

Operating Expenses:

Our sole business is the development of extensible instant messaging/presence software through 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 stand-alone unaudited statements of operations of the year ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, are presented below.

General and administrative expenses were reduced in 2004 primarily as a result of (i) a decrease in compensation and related expenses of $90,000; (ii) a decrease in travel and entertainment of $21,000; (iii) a decrease of $61,000 in investor relation expenses; and (iv) $66,000 of

Table of Contents

non-cash expenses we recorded in 2004 for warrants and stock options we issued to investor relation firms. These reductions were partially offset by the $125,000 non-cash expense we recorded resulting from the write-off of the notes receivable from a former officer.

Depreciation expense was $72,408 for the year ended December 31, 2004, compared to $158,874 for the year ended December 31, 2003. The decrease is primarily from no depreciation being recorded in 2004 on assets that became fully depreciated in earlier periods. In addition, business software which had a net book value of $220,059, was sold to Jabber in April 2003. As a result of selling our remaining property and equipment to Jabber on December 31, 2004, we do not expect to record depreciation expense in future periods.

Interest Income

Interest income was $9,092 for the year ended December 31, 2004, compared to $1,629,062 for the year ended December 31, 2003. We recorded interest income from Jabber of $8,770 and $1,610,547 in 2004 and 2003, respectively. Included in the interest income from Jabber for 2003 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 for the period ended March 19, 2003.

Loss on Investment in Jabber

At December 31, 2004, we owned 43.4% of Jabber’s outstanding 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 year ended December 31, 2004, we recorded $1,169,637 in losses from Jabber, compared with $2,851,755 for the year ended December 31, 2003. The decrease in losses in 2004 was primarily from the combination of $570,000 less in losses incurred by Jabber in 2004 and the reduction in the percentage of Jabber’s losses we recorded commencing on March 19, 2003, which was reduced from 99.9% to 43.3%.

In addition, Jabber’s net loss was $2.70 million for the year ended December 31, 2004, which was $570,000 less when compared to a net loss of $3.27 million for the year ended December 31, 2003. Jabber’s net revenues were $5.37 million for 2004, compared with $7.42 million for 2003. The revenue mix between license fees and services was 57% and 43%, respectively, for 2004, compared with 68% and 32%, respectively, for 2003. France Telecom, a related party, represented 32% of Jabber’s net revenues for 2004, compared with 30% for 2003. The decrease in net loss in 2004 was primarily from a $1,009,000 decrease in operating expenses. Jabber’s operating expenses were $8.06 million for 2004, compared with $9.07 million for 2003. The decrease in operating expenses was primarily due to decreases in product development expenses, sales and marketing expenses and general and administrative expenses of $208,000, $262,000 and $671,000, respectively.

At December 31, 2004, Jabber’s cash and cash equivalents were $1.39 million, which represented a decrease of $3.99 million compared to $5.38 million in cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2003. The decrease was primarily from the $3.87 million of cash used to fund its operating activities in 2004.

Net Loss

Net loss was $1,916,713 for the year ended December 31, 2004, compared to $2,187,634 for the year ended December 31, 2003. The decrease in losses for 2004 was primarily from (i) a reduction of $1.68 million in losses we recorded in connection with our investment in Jabber; and (ii) a reduction in operating expenses of $203,000. These reductions were partially offset by $1,620,000 of non-cash interest income in the first quarter of 2003 related to the conversion of notes and issuance of Jabber securities to us.

Item 8A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

At December 31, 2005, the end of the last fiscal quarter covered by this report, Webb conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Principal Executive and Principal Financial Officer, of Webb’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)).

Pre-Approval Policy for Services of Independent Auditors

The Audit Committee follows established procedures for pre-approval of all audit and permissible non-audit services provided by the independent auditor. Prior to engaging the independent auditor for the next year’s audit, the committee solicits a proposal from the independent auditor detailing the scope of services for each of the categories described above as well as a budget. The committee reviews and approves the services by category. The fees are budgeted and the committee receives periodic reports from the independent auditor of the actual fees incurred by category. If additional services not contemplated in the original pre-approval are required and exceed $15,000 in the aggregate, then the committee requires specific pre-approval before engaging the independent auditor. The committee may delegate pre-approval authority to one or more of its members. That member or members must report, for informational purposes only, any pre-approval decisions to the committee at its next scheduled meeting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors and Stockholders

Webb Interactive Services Inc.;

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Webb Interactive Services, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the two years 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 audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the Standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, among other factors, the Company has incurred significant and recurring losses from operations, has an accumulated deficit of $120,894,336, and such losses are expected to continue in the near future, which raises substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are described in Note 1. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Webb Interactive Services, Inc. (the Company, Webb, we, us or our) is engaged in the development of extensible instant messaging/presence software for enterprises, government agencies, carriers and service providers and distributors through its minority-owned subsidiary, Jabber, Inc. (Jabber). At December 31, 2005, on an as-if converted basis, we owned approximately 34% of Jabber’s common stock. We report our investment in Jabber in accordance with the equity method of accounting for investments.

On April 8, 2005, Jabber sold shares of its series E preferred stock for $1.5 million to an affiliate of Webb. The series E preferred stock purchase agreement included an option enabling the investor to purchase up to an additional $2 million worth of series E preferred stock on the same terms as the original investment. The option to purchase $500,000 worth of Series E preferred stock expired without being exercised and the remaining option was exercised on September 30, 2005. As a result of these transactions, Webb’s ownership of Jabber was reduced from approximately 43% to approximately 34% of Jabber’s outstanding common stock on an as-if converted basis.

Jabber is a commercial developer of real-time communications software and instant messaging (IM) solutions offering proprietary, scalable extensible IM software solutions for enterprises, government agencies, carriers and service providers and distribution partners. We became a commercial sponsor of the Jabber.org instant messaging open-source movement in September 1999. We formed Jabber in February 2000. Jabber commenced operations in May 2000, and released its initial proprietary IM software product in March 2001.

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 success depends upon the ability 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. Jabber has expended significant funds to develop its current product offerings and Jabber anticipates continuing losses through at least 2006 as it further develops and markets its products.

At December 31, 2005, we had $372 in cash and $3,861 in working capital. We have no current source of cash, but have initiated efforts to raise additional operating capital. We estimate that we will require approximately $200,000 of additional operating capital per year to sustain our status as a reporting company. In the event that we are not able to raise additional working capital, we will be required to terminate our status as a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. We estimate that the cost of maintaining our operations as a non-reporting company would be approximately $120,000 per year. There can be no assurance that we will be able to raise additional operating capital or, if we are able to raise additional operating capital, that the terms upon which such capital is available will be acceptable.

As a result of our continuing operating losses and limited working capital to fund expected operating losses, substantial doubt exists about Webb’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result should Webb be unable to continue as a going concern.

(2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Financial Statements: As a result of the March 19, 2003, Jabber financing transaction, 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.

Estimates and Assumptions: Our 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, our financial statements will be affected. 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.

Concentration of Credit Risk: Financial instruments that potentially subject us to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, notes receivable 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.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments: Financial instruments consist of cash, receivables and notes receivable. As of December 31, 2005, the carrying values of such instruments approximated their fair values.

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 9).

Stock Option Accounting and Other Stock-Based Compensation Arrangements: We issue stock options to our employees and outside directors to purchase our stock pursuant to stockholder approved stock option programs. We have elected to 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. We apply the disclosure provisions of SFAS Statement No. 123, “Accounting and Disclosure of Stock Based Compensation” (SFAS 123), as amended by SFAS Statement No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure.”

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 123R, Share-Based Payment. SFAS No. 123R replaced SFAS No. 123 and superseded APB 25. SFAS No. 123R will require compensation cost related to equity-based payment transactions to be recognized in financial statements. SFAS No. 123R requires measurement of the cost of equity-based payment transactions to employees at the estimated fair value of the award on the grant date and recognition of expense over the requisite service or vesting period. SFAS No. 123R requires implementation using a modified version of prospective application, under which compensation expense for the unvested portion of previously granted awards and all new awards will be recognized on or after the date of adoption. SFAS No. 123R also allows companies to adopt SFAS No. 123R by restating previously issued financial statements, basing the amounts on the expense previously calculated and reported in the pro forma footnote disclosures required under SFAS No. 123. The provisions of SFAS No. 123R will be adopted by Webb effective for the fiscal year ending December 2006. Webb did not grant any stock options during 2005 and the application of SFAS No. 123R for the year ended December 31, 2005, would not have had a material effect on Webb’s net loss for the year.

The following table illustrates the effect on net loss and loss per share if we had accounted for our stock option plans under the fair value method of accounting:

 

    

Years Ended

Pro-forma net loss per share-basic and diluted

   $ (0.03 )   $ (0.08 )
                

We estimate the fair value of our options using a Black-Scholes option value model, which 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 assumptions, including the expected stock price volatility. Our options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and changes in the input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimates. Webb did not grant any options during 2005. The fair value of options granted in 2004 were estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions

 

     2004  

Risk-free interest rate

   1.59 %

Expected dividend yield

   0 %

Expected lives

   2 Years  

Expected volatility

   144 %

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.

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.

The number of share equivalents excluded from the earnings per share calculation because they are anti-dilutive, using the treasury stock method, were zero and 299,528 for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

(3) OTHER RECEIVABLE; NOTES RECEIVABLE FROM COMPANY OFFICER

The other receivable, at December 31, 2005, is for income tax refunds for Netherlands taxes paid for two former employees of Webb.

During 2000, pursuant to demand notes, Webb loaned a total of $165,827 to an officer of the Company. In connection with a separation agreement entered into on September 23, 2004, between the Company and its Chief Executive/Chief Financial Officer, the notes receivable were forgiven in consideration for the officer continuing to provide consulting services to the Company until January 2005. As a result, in September 2004 we recorded a non-cash expense for the balance of the notes receivable totaling $124,676. During 2004, the Company was repaid principal on these notes totaling $9,454.

(4) INVESTMENT IN JABBER

Jabber, a Delaware corporation founded by Webb in February 2000, is a commercial developer of extensible instant messaging software for enterprises, government agencies, carriers and service providers and distribution partners 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.

During 2005, Webb transferred ownership of its Netherlands subsidiary to Jabber in consideration for which Jabber paid Webb $6,649, representing the amount of the subsidiaries’ stockholders’ equity.

On each of April 8, 2005 and September 30, 2005, as adjusted for a ten for one reverse stock split approved in 2005, Jabber sold 857,143 shares (1,714,286 shares in the aggregate) of its series E convertible preferred stock (“series E preferred stock”) for $1.5 million ($3 million in the aggregate) to Jona, Inc., our largest shareholder. As a result of these transactions, Webb’s ownership interest in Jabber was reduced from approximately 43% to approximately 34% of Jabber’s outstanding common stock on an as-if converted basis. At December 31, 2005, as adjusted for the ten for one reverse stock split, Webb owned 1,855,023 shares of Jabber common stock and 770,578 shares of Jabber series D preferred stock.

The series E and D preferred stock are convertible into shares of Jabber’s common stock on a one-for-one basis. The sale of the series E preferred stock required the approval of two holders of the series D preferred stock. The sale of the series E preferred stock was approved by FTTI and Intel, but not by Webb. In connection with the purchase of the series E preferred stock, Jona, Inc. also purchased from Intel a portion of its series D preferred stock.

The series E and D preferred stock include liquidation preferences which entitle the holders of the preferred stock on the liquidation of Jabber, including a sale of Jabber, to first be paid their original purchase price for their preferred stock and then to participate with holders of common stock on an as-converted basis in the distribution of the remaining proceeds. The Series E preferred stock is entitled to receive or accrue dividends at the rate of 8% per annum. The conversion price of the 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 its common stock at a price less than the original purchase prices for the preferred stock.

Without the prior approval of the holder of the series E preferred stock and holders of 66 2/3% of the outstanding shares of 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 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. Until an event has happened that would permit Webb to distribute its Jabber securities to Webb shareholders, Webb may require FTTI, on an annual basis beginning on January 1, 2005, to sell Webb 100,000 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. Webb did not exercise this right for either 2005 or 2006.

(5) PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

On December 31, 2004, Jabber purchased all of Webb’s remaining property and equipment for an aggregate purchase price of $200,000. As a result, Webb recorded a gain totaling $28,234. In addition, in December 2004 Webb recorded a $14,660 loss on the disposition of obsolete computer equipment. As a result of these two transactions, Webb no longer owns any property and equipment. Included in other income, net for the years ended December 31, 2004 is $13,574 in income from the sale of or the disposition of excess and obsolete property and equipment.

We depreciated computer equipment, office equipment, and software over three to five years and office furnishings over seven years. Depreciation expense totaled $72,408 for the year ended December 31, 2004.

(6) SERIES D JUNIOR CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK

At December 31, 2005 and 2004, we had 734 outstanding shares of series D preferred stock. 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 conversion price is $1.00 per share.

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.

On February 2, 2004, the holder of our series D preferred stock converted 50 shares into 50,000 shares of our common stock at a conversion price per share of $1.00.

(7) STOCK OPTION PLANS

We have a stock option plan for directors, officers, employees and other third parties. The options vest over various terms with a maximum vesting period of 60 months and expire after a maximum of seven years from the date of grant. At December 31, 2005, there were options for 2,379,021 shares of common stock outstanding and options for 2,300,689 shares of common stock were vested, with 371,246 options available for future grants under the 2000 plan.

On February 15, 2005, the holder of a warrant to purchase 343,750 shares of our common stock exercised the entire warrant under its cash-less exercise provision whereby we issued 122,050 shares of our common stock. The number of shares issued was calculated by multiplying the number of shares exercised by the quotient of the difference between the average closing price five days immediately prior to the exercise date ($0.38) and the exercise price ($0.2425) divided by the average closing price five days immediately prior to the exercise date.

On February 5, 2004, the holder of a warrant to purchase 500,000 shares of our common stock exercised the entire warrant under its cash-less exercise provision whereby we issued 115,385 shares of our common stock. The number of shares issued were calculated by multiplying the number of shares exercised by the quotient of the difference between the average closing price five days immediately prior to the exercise date ($1.30) and the exercise price ($1.00) divided by the average closing price five days immediately prior to the exercise date.

(9) INCOME TAXES

The statutory federal income tax rate was 34% for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004. Differences between the income tax expense reported in the statements of operations and the amount reported by applying the statutory federal income tax rate to loss before income taxes are as follows:

For income tax purposes, we have approximately $56 million of net operating loss carryforwards that expire at various dates through 2025. 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 2005 and 2004, we increased our valuation allowance by $169,205 and $264,018, respectively, due mainly to uncertainty relating to the realizability of the 2005 and 2004 net operating loss carryforwards.

(10) RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Webb’s vice-president of administration and corporate counsel, who began his employment with the Company in 1999, is also a partner in the law firm we retain for our legal services. We incurred $3,116 and $23,069 in legal fees to the law firm during the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. As of December 31, 2005 and 2004, our accounts payable balances included $495 and $901, respectively, payable to the law firm.

(13) SUBSEQUENT EVENT

On January 20, 2006, we issued an aggregate of 750,000 restricted shares of our common stock to an officer and two directors of Webb in lieu of cash compensation. The closing price for our common stock on January 20, 2006 on the Nasdaq Bulletin Board was $.12 per share.

During February 2006, an officer and two directors loaned the company an aggregate of $32,200 pursuant to loans due on demand after April 30, 2006, which bear interest at 8% per annum.
