NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

MARCH 31, 2004

(UNAUDITED)

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.

During 2005, Jabber sold shares of its series E preferred stock for $3 million to an affiliate of Webb. As a result, 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 March 31, 2006, we had $281 in cash and a $35,000 working capital deficit. 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.

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. For periods prior to January 1, 2006, we 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. For these periods, we applied the disclosure provisions of SFAS Statement No. 123, “Accounting and Disclosure of Stock

Table of Contents

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 requires 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 have been adopted by Webb effective for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2006. Webb did not grant any stock options during the first quarter of 2006 or 2005.

The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if we had accounted for our stock option and stock purchase plans under the fair value method of accounting under SAFS No. 123, accounting and disclosure of stock-based compensation:

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 – OTHER RECEIVABLE

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

NOTE 5 – INVESTMENT IN JABBER, INC

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. Jabber instant messaging solutions differ from packaged and consumer instant messaging solutions in the ability of Jabber instant messaging to be customized and 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 10 for 1 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 March 31, 2006, as adjusted for the 10 for 1 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.

NOTE 6 – COMMON STOCK; EXERCISE OF WARRANT

During the quarter ended March 31, 2006, the Company granted 750,000 shares of common stock to compensate an officer and two directors for services rendered and to be rendered. The fair value of the shares granted for services was recognized as expenses during the quarter ended March 31, 2006.

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 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 ($0.38) and the exercise price ($0.2425) divided by the average closing price five days immediately prior to the exercise date.

NOTE 7 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

During the quarter ended March 31, 2006, related parties loaned the Company $32,200 pursuant to promissory notes due on demand after April 30, 2006 and bearing interest at the rate of 8% per annum. During April 2006, a related party loaned the Company an additional $16,000 on the same basis as the prior loans.

Item 2. 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 be customized and 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.

Working capital: Working capital is calculated by deducting current liabilities from current assets. Working capital decreased for the first quarter of 2006, as compared with the first quarter of 2005, primarily due to funding operating activities during the first quarter of 2006 other than compensation expenses with short-term loans.

Cash flows used in operating activities: Cash used in operating activities decreased during the first quarter of 2006, as compared with the first quarter of 2005, primarily due to the payment of compensation expenses in the first quarter of 2006 in shares of our common stock and a decrease in prepaid expenses and an increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities in the first quarter of 2006 as compared to the first quarter of 2005.

Cash flows provided by investing activities: Cash provided by investing activities was $32,200 in the first quarter of 2006 from short-term loans by related parties, compared to $97,261 in the first quarter of 2005 from the collection of a note receivable from Jabber.

Table of Contents

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 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 more than $10 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 $14 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 current operations beyond 2006, but that additional operating capital should be raised to expand product development and marketing activities.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

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.

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, 2005, 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.

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 requires 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 have been adopted by Webb effective for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2006. Webb did not grant any stock options during the first quarter of 2006 or 2005.

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 balance of our investment in Jabber as of March 31, 2005 was zero.

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.

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. Webb’s unaudited statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, are presented below.

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of employee compensation, and other costs associated with being a public company. General and administrative expenses were $130,329 for the first quarter of 2006 compared to $91,327 for the first quarter of 2005. The increase was primarily from an increase in employee compensation due to including for book purposes the entire cost of shares granted during the quarter to an officer and two directors for services rendered and to be rendered, offset by a decrease in insurance premiums and accounting fees. The shares of our common stock granted in lieu of cash compensation compensate the officer for services rendered through May 2006 and for the directors for serving on the board to December 31, 2006. There were no restrictions on the share grants and the entire expense related to the grants was, therefore, included in administrative expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2006.

Interest Income:

Interest expense was $318 for the first quarter of 2006 compared to interest income of $509 for the first quarter of 2005. We recorded interest income from Jabber of $509 in the first quarters of 2005, whereas we borrowed funds to cover operating expenses in the first quarter of 2006.

Loss on investment in Jabber:

At March 31, 2005, we owned 43.4% of Jabber’s outstanding stock, on an as-if converted basis. During the first quarter of 2006, we recorded $0 in losses from Jabber, compared with $422,348 for the first quarter of 2005. At March 31, 2005, our investment in Jabber was zero. The losses we recorded from out investment in Jabber for the

Table of Contents

three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, were limited by approximately $39,000 and $181,000, respectively, as we have no obligation to fund Jabber losses and therefore our investment in Jabber is not reduced below zero.

Jabber’s unauditied net loss was $115,707 for the first quarter of 2006, which was $1,274,384 less when compared to a net loss of $1,390,091 for the first quarter of 2005. Jabber’s net revenues were $2,329,137 for the first quarter of 2006, compared with $970,982 for the first quarter of 2005. The revenue mix between license fees and services was 69% and 31%, respectively, for the first quarter of 2006, compared with 65% and 35%, respectively, for the similar 2005 period. Jabber’s operating expenses were $2,382,237 for the first quarter of 2006, compared with $2,340,071 million for the first quarter of 2005. The increase in operating expenses was primarily due to increases in cost of revenues and sales and marketing expenses.

At March 31, 2006, Jabber’s cash and cash equivalents were $895,073, which represented an increase of $193,939 over $701,134 in cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2005.

Net Loss:

Net loss was $128,861 for the first quarter of 2006, compared to $513,166 for first quarter of 2005. The higher loss for 2005 was due to the $422,348 in losses we recorded in connection with our investment in Jabber.

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 2 – 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.

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 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 March 31, 2006, 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 $0.25 per share and as low as $0.12 per share between January 1, 2006 and May 1, 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 May 1, 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 May 1, 2006 these shares consisted of:

 

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

 

    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 is currently seeking additional capital to fund an expansion of its operating activities, including product development and marketing and sales expenses. 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.

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. 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

 

15


Table of Contents

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 3. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

At March 31, 2006, 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”)). Based on this evaluation, the Principal Executive and Principal Financial Officer concluded that Webb’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to insure the information required to be disclosed by Webb in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to Webb’s management, including its Principal Executive and Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

There have been no changes in internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2006 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, Webb’s internal control over financial reporting.
