NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

MARCH 31, 2004

(UNAUDITED)

 

NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

The sole business of Webb Interactive Services, Inc. (the Company, Webb, we or our) is the ownership of securities of Jabber, Inc. (Jabber). At March 31, 2004, on an as-if converted basis, we owned 43.4% of Jabber’s common stock. On March 19, 2003, Jabber issued 25,218,914 shares of its series D convertible preferred stock for $5 million in gross cash proceeds and the cancellation of $2.2 million convertible notes payable to Webb. As a result of this transaction, Webb’s ownership in Jabber was reduced from 77.8% on an as-if converted basis prior to the transaction to 43.3% immediately after the transaction. With this change in ownership interest, Webb evaluated whether to continue the consolidation method of accounting for Jabber in its financial statements. Webb considered whether it continued to exercise control over the operations of Jabber based on its ownership percentage, voting rights, board of director seats and management influence. Based on this evaluation, Webb has determined that it no longer exercises control over the operations of Jabber, but does exert significant influence. As a result, after March 19, 2003, Webb no longer consolidated the financial results of Jabber with that of its own and began to report its investment in Jabber under the equity method of accounting.

 

These condensed financial statements have been prepared without audit pursuant to rules and regulations of the SEC and reflect, in the opinion of management, all adjustments, which are of a normal and recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations for the periods presented. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions. Such estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as well as disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the accompanying financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire year. The interim financial statements should be read in connection with the financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB/A for the year ended December 31, 2003, filed with the SEC.

 

NOTE 2 – STOCK BASED COMPENSATION PLANS

 

We issue stock options to our employees and outside directors to purchase our stock pursuant to stockholder approved stock option programs. We account for our stock-based compensation plans under the intrinsic value method of accounting as defined by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 (APB 25), Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees and related interpretations. No stock-based employee compensation cost is reflected in net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, as all options granted under these plans had an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. For pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the options is amortized over the vesting period, typically three years. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if we had accounted for our stock option and stock purchase plans under the fair value method of accounting under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, Accounting and Disclosure of Stock Based Compensation (SFAS 123).

Table of Contents

We estimate the fair value of our options using the Black-Scholes option value model, which is one of several methods that can be used to estimate option values. The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. Option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected stock price volatility. Our options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimates. Webb did not grant any options during the three months ended March 31, 2004. The fair value of options granted in the three months ended March 31, 2003, were estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes pricing model with the weighted average assumptions in the table which follows.

Included in the expense calculated under SFAS 123 for the three months ended March 31, 2003, are options granted under the Jabber stock option plan, which totaled 1,900,394 for the period ended March 19, 2003.

 

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.

The number of shares excluded from the earnings per share calculation because they are anti-dilutive, using the treasury stock method were 867,035 and 189,801 for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

 

NOTE 4 – INVESTMENT IN JABBER, INC

 

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

 

As a result of the Jabber investment transaction on March 19, 2003, Webb’s ownership in Jabber was reduced from 77.8% on an as-if converted basis prior to the transaction to 43.3% immediately after the transaction. Due to this change in ownership interest, 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.

Table of Contents

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

 

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

 

In connection with the series D preferred stock purchase agreement, Jabber purchased business software owned by Webb and is scheduled to make payments at a rate of $12,000 per month for a period of 21 months commencing April 1, 2003. At March 31, 2004, the balance of the note was $103,880, which is expected to be paid in 2004. In addition, Jabber has also agreed that no later than August 31, 2004, Jabber shall purchase Webb’s computer equipment, office furnishings and fixtures and other office equipment at a purchase price of $200,000. Webb’s estimated net book value of these assets at August 31, 2004, is expected to approximate the purchase price.

Webb’s income from investment in Jabber for the three months ended March 31, 2003, includes net losses from March 20, 2003 to March 31, 2003. Prior to March 20, 2003, the results of operations from Jabber were consolidated with Webb’s results of operations.

 

Included in other loss, net for the three months ended March 31, 2003, is a $1.57 million non-cash loss on debt extinguishment resulting from the exchange of the convertible note payable to Webb for shares of Jabber’s series D preferred stock in the first quarter of 2003. This amount was eliminated in consolidation in the period ended March 19, 2003.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, France Telecom accounted for 76% and 49%, respectively, of Jabber’s total revenues.

 

NOTE 5 – CONVERSION OF PREFERRED STOCK AND EXERCISE OF COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT

 

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

 

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.

 

NOTE 6 – SEGMENT REPORTING

 

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

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

             OPERATIONS

 

GENERAL

 

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

 

With the purchase of Jabber’s series D convertible preferred stock on March 19, 2003, by Webb, FTTI and Intel, Webb’s ownership in Jabber was reduced from 77.8% on an as-if converted basis prior to the transaction to 43.3% immediately after the transaction. Due to this change in ownership interest, on March 20, 2003, we ceased consolidating the financial results of Jabber with those of Webb and began to account for our investment in Jabber under the equity method.

 

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

 

Amounts included in Webb’s liquidity and capital resources discussion for the three months ended March 31, 2003, include the accounts of Webb only and do not reflect the consolidation of Jabber as previously reported in the financial statements included herein. Included in the reported financial statements and not reflected below are the consolidated results of Jabber through March 19, 2003, for the period ended March 31, 2003. See Item 1 – Financial Statements – Unaudited Supplemental Financial Information for a reconciliation of Webb’s stand-alone financial statements presented below to its consolidated financial statements as reported for the three months ended March 31, 2003.

1 Includes note receivable from Jabber of $103,793 and $136,479 at March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively.

 

Working capital: Working capital is calculated by deducting current liabilities from current assets. Working capital decreased for the first quarter of 2004, as compared with the first quarter of 2003, primarily due to funding our operating activities with cash on-hand at December 31, 2003.

 

12


Table of Contents

Cash flows used in operating activities: Cash used in operating activities decreased during the first quarter of 2004, as compared with the first quarter of 2003, primarily due to a decrease in operating expenses in the first quarter of 2004 as compared to the first quarter of 2003.

 

Cash flows provided by investing activities: Cash provided by investing activities in the first quarter of 2004 was a result of collections on notes receivable. The increase over the first quarter of 2003 primarily resulted from Webb investing $195,000 in Jabber during the 2003 period.

 

In connection with the Jabber financing in March 2003, Webb and Jabber formalized a two-year cost sharing arrangement, as amended, commencing April 1, 2003, whereby Jabber agreed to pay (i) 80% of the cost of two shared employees who provide accounting services for both companies; (ii) 60% of the cost of the Secretary and General Counsel for Webb who performs similar services for Jabber; and (iii) $100,000 annually for salary and 44% of the expenses of the CEO of Webb for serving on Jabber’s executive committee. We estimate that we will reduce our monthly expenses by approximately $23,000 per month through March 31, 2005, as a result of this cost sharing arrangement with Jabber. In addition, commencing April 1, 2003, we began receiving from Jabber $12,000 per month for 21 months for the purchase of third-party business software we owned and we are to receive an additional $200,000 by August 31, 2004, from Jabber for the purchase of computer equipment, office furnishings and fixtures and other office equipment. We believe our cash on-hand of approximately $264,000 at April 22, 2004, and the expected cash collections from Jabber will be sufficient to fund Webb’s operating expenses to at least April 2005. Webb’s operating expenses are generally fixed in nature and include compensation costs, investor relations and the cost associated with being a public company. Our monthly cash requirements, after the cost sharing arrangement and the sale of property and equipment to Jabber, are forecasted to average approximately $28,000 for 2004 and $72,000 for 2005.

 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Amounts included in Webb’s results of operations discussion for the three months ended March 31, 2003, include the accounts of Webb only and do not reflect the consolidation of Jabber as previously reported in the financial statements included herein and in our Form 10-QSB for 2003 so as to present the 2003 numbers on a comparative basis with 2004. Included in the reported financial statements and not reflected below are the consolidated results of Jabber through March 19, 2003, for the period ended March 31, 2003. See Item 1 – Financial Statements – Unaudited Supplemental Financial Information for a reconciliation of Webb’s stand-alone financial statements presented below to its consolidated financial statements as reported for the three months ended March 31, 2003.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

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

 

In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by GAAP and does not require management’s judgment in its application. There are also areas in which management’s judgment in selecting among available alternatives would not produce a materially different result. Management has reviewed these critical accounting policies and related disclosures with our Audit Committee. See Form 10-KSB/A for the year ended December 31, 2003, See Item 7 – Financial Statements – Note 2 to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, which contains additional information regarding Webb’s accounting policies and other disclosures required by GAAP.

Accounting for Investment in Jabber

 

We report our investment in Jabber using the equity method of accounting whereby we record our percentage of Jabber’s net income or losses as an increase or a reduction to the carrying value of our investment account on our balance sheet and as income or losses in our results of operations. To the extent that we record losses from Jabber, our investment account will not be reduced below zero, unless at some future date we become obligated to fund future Jabber losses, if any. The balance of our investment in Jabber as of March 31, 2004, was $1.4 million. The use of the equity method of accounting represents a change in how we reported our investment in Jabber prior to March 19, 2003, the date on which Jabber sold shares of its series D convertible preferred stock to FTTI, Intel and Webb. Prior to this date, we consolidated the operations of Jabber with our own.

 

As a result of the March 19, 2003, Jabber financing, our ownership in Jabber was reduced from 77.8% on an as-if converted basis prior to the transaction to 43.3% immediately after the transaction. With this change in ownership and the additional terms of the Jabber series D convertible preferred stock (See Item 1 – Financial Statements – Note 4 to Notes to Condensed Financial Statements), we evaluated whether to continue the consolidation method of accounting for Jabber in our financial statements. We considered whether we continued to exercise control over the operations of Jabber based on our ownership percentage, voting rights, board of director seats and management influence. Based on this evaluation, we have determined that while we do exert significant influence, we no longer exercise control over the operations of Jabber, and therefore changed from consolidating Jabber’s operations with our own to reporting our investment in Jabber using the equity method of accounting.

 

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. We review our investment in Jabber for impairment on a regular basis. In the event the fair value of our investment in Jabber declines to an amount that is less than our carrying value and that decline is other than temporary, we will record an impairment charge to reduce our carrying amount to fair value.

 

Operating Expenses:

 

Our sole business is the ownership of securities of Jabber, a company we formed in February 2000. We also conduct corporate activities such as accounting, administration, public reporting and financing activities for both Webb and Jabber. We reduce our expenses by amounts reimbursed to us by Jabber for its share of these costs. Webb’s parent-only unaudited statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2003, are presented below. See Item 1 – Financial Statements – Unaudited Supplemental Financial Information for a reconciliation of Webb’s stand-alone financial statements presented below to its consolidated financial statements as reported for the three months ended March 31, 2003.

Table of Contents

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of employee compensation, and other costs associated with being a public company, including investor relations, shareholder communications and legal and accounting fees. General and administrative expenses were $185,362 for the first quarter of 2004, compared with $208,543 for the first quarter of 2003. The decrease was primarily from (i) a decrease in employee compensation and related expenses of $47,000; (ii) a decrease in travel costs of $11,000; and (iii) an increase in shared costs paid by Jabber of $10,000. These reductions were partially offset by an increase in accounting fees of $43,000. We are estimating Webb’s general and administrative expenses for the remainder of 2004 to be approximately $485,000.

 

Depreciation was $19,361 for the first quarter of 2004, compared to $68,168 for the first quarter of 2003. The decrease is primarily from no depreciation being recorded in the first quarter of 2004 for the business software assets we sold to Jabber in April 2003, which had a net book value of $220,059.

 

Interest Income:

 

Interest income was $3,625 for the first quarter of 2004, compared to $1,611,750 for the first quarter of 2003. We recorded interest income from Jabber of $3,401 and $1,610,547 in the first quarters of 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 three months ended March 19, 2003.

 

Loss on investment in Jabber:

 

At March 31, 2004, we owned 43.4% of Jabber stock, on an as-if converted basis. Prior to March 19, 2003, we owned 74.8% of Jabber stock. As of March 19, 2003, in conjunction with the Jabber financing transaction, we ceased consolidating Jabber’s results of operations and financial position with our own and began reporting our investment in Jabber under the equity method of accounting. During the first quarter of 2004, we recorded $178,000 in losses from Jabber, compared with $2,436,127 for the first quarter of 2003. The decreases in losses in 2004 was primarily from the reduction in our percentage of Jabber’s losses between periods from 99.9% to 43.4%, as well as a $1.9 million decrease in net losses for Jabber in the 2004 period. The difference between the losses recorded by Webb in the 2003 three-month period of $2.4 million and Jabber’s net losses of $2.3 million is a result of Webb recording a smaller percentage of Jabber’s net income for the period from March 20, 2003 to March 31, 2003, due to the reduction in Webb’s ownership percentage after the sale of Jabber’s series D convertible preferred stock on March 19, 2003.

 

Jabber’s net loss was $410,000 for the first quarter of 2004, which represented a $1.9 million decrease when compared to a net loss of $2.3 million for the first quarter of 2003. Jabber’s net revenues were $1.6 million for the first quarter of 2004, compared with $1.2 million for the similar 2003 period. The revenue mix between license fees and services was 54% and 46%, respectively, for the first quarter of 2004, compared with 53% and 47%, respectively, for the similar 2003 period. France Telecom, a related party, represented 76% of Jabber’s net revenues for the first quarter of 2004, compared with 49% for the first quarter of 2003. This percentage increase was primarily due to France Telecom not exercising rights under a distribution agreement which resulted in Jabber recognizing approximately $644,500 of revenue in the first quarter of 2004 of which $507,000 would otherwise have been recognized during the second quarter of 2004 and $137,500 that would have been recognized during the balance of 2004 and the first nine months of 2005. Jabber’s operating expenses were $2 million for the first quarter of 2004, compared with $1.9 million for the first quarter of 2003. The increase in operating expenses was primarily due to increases in product development expenses of $231,000. The decrease in net loss applicable to common stockholders in the 2004 period was primarily from a $1.6 million non-cash expense on loss on debt extinguishment resulting from the series D preferred stock transaction in March 2003 and a decrease in loss from operations of $275,000.

 

As of April 30, 2004, Jabber had not recognized revenue with respect to signed contracts for approximately $1.4 million, including approximately $413,000 for France Telecom, a related party, for product licenses (16% of total) for which the majority of the revenue is being recognized on a monthly user count basis and maintenance and

 

15


Table of Contents

support and professional services (84% of total) for services provided over the term of the contract with respect to maintenance and support agreements and for services Jabber expects to provide in 2004 with respect to professional services, but which have not been provided as of April 30, 2004. We expect approximately $1.2 million in deferred revenue at April 30, 2004, to be recognized in the remainder of 2004. Approximately $507,000 of deferred revenues scheduled to be recognized during the second quarter of 2004 and $137,5000 of revenues scheduled to be recognized during the last nine months of 2004 and the first nine months of 2005 were recognized in the first quarter of 2004 due to France Telecom’s failure to exercise rights it had under a distribution agreement.

 

At March 31, 2004, Jabber’s cash and cash equivalents were $4.1 million, which represented a decrease of $1.3 million compared with $5.4 million in cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2003. The decrease was primarily due to cash used to fund its operating activities in the first quarter of 2004.

 

We believe Jabber is adequately funded through cashflow break-even, which we expect to occur in the fourth quarter of 2004. Jabber’s projected use of cash is predicated on Jabber meeting its revenue projections and managing its expense levels to budgeted amounts. While Jabber continues to project a modest increase in revenues in 2004 compared to 2003 and its revenues for the first quarter were slightly ahead of plan, Jabber booked approximately $273,000 less in new business in the first quarter than planned. Jabber has a limited operating history upon which to base its projections, particularly its revenue projections, and there can be no assurance that Jabber will be able to meet its projections for revenues and expenses. In addition, since many of Jabber’s expenses are fixed or must be incurred in advance of revenues, Jabber’s working capital requirements could increase significantly over projected levels if Jabber does not meet its revenue projections. Therefore, Jabber may require more cash for its operations than our current projections indicate. In this circumstance, Jabber may have to seek additional funding or reduce its operating activities.

 

Net Loss:

 

Net loss was $379,098 for first quarter of 2004, compared to $1,101,088 for the first quarter of 2003. The decrease in losses for 2004 was primarily from (i) a reduction of $2.3 million in losses we recorded in connection with our investment in Jabber; (ii) a reduction in operating expenses of $72,000; and (iii) recording $1.6 million of non-cash interest income in the first quarter of 2003 related to the conversion of notes and issuance of Jabber securities to us. Before recording losses from Jabber, we expect Webb’s losses to be approximately $518,000 for the remainder of 2004.

 

FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS

 

Webb, as a holding company, has no independent source of revenue or business other than the ownership of securities of Jabber, Inc., a company formed by Webb in February 2000. Webb currently owns approximately 43% of Jabber’s outstanding common stock on a fully converted basis. Factors that may affect our 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 of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

 

Factors Relating to Webb

 

Additional funding for Jabber could reduce further our ownership interest in Jabber. Jabber raised $7.2 million in March 2003 through the sale of shares of its preferred stock to France Telecom Technologies Investissements, Intel Capital Corporation and Webb. The offering contemplated that Jabber would raise an additional $3 million from unidentified venture capital investors on the same terms as the purchases by FTTI, Intel and Webb. In the event that the additional $3 million had been committed by November 30, 2003, Webb would have been granted an option to invest an additional $2.5 million in Jabber on the same terms. While the additional funding contemplated at the time of the March 2003 funding has not been completed, the Jabber board has indicated that it believes Jabber should raise an additional $5 million during fiscal 2004. In the event that Jabber obtains additional equity investments, Webb’s percentage ownership of Jabber would be further reduced.

 

16


Table of Contents

We expect to incur net losses into 2004. We have incurred net losses since we began our business totaling approximately $118.7 million through March 31, 2004, including approximately $67 million of non-cash expenses. We expect to incur additional substantial operating and net losses in during the remainder of 2004.

 

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

 

An investment in our common stock is risky because the price of our stock is highly volatile. Our common stock closed as high as $1.42 per share and as low as $0.68 per share between January 1, 2004 and May 12, 2004. 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 numerous options, warrants, and convertible securities to acquire our common stock that could have a dilutive effect on our shareholders. As of May 12, 2004, we had issued warrants and options to acquire approximately 5 million shares of our common stock, exercisable at prices ranging from $0.24 to $58.25 per share, with a weighted average exercise price of approximately $1.55 per share. 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 12, 2004 these shares consist of:

 

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

 

  Approximately 5 million shares issuable to warrant and option holders.

 

Factors Relating to Jabber

 

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

 

  Limited ability to respond to competitive developments;

 

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

 

  Limited ability to adjust Jabber’s business plan to address marketplace and technological changes.

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

 

  The extent to which consumers and businesses use Jabber’s products and services; and

 

  The success of Jabber’s distribution partners in marketing its products and services.

 

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

 

Jabber’s operations may be adversely affected by changes in its senior management. Tony Bamonti was named acting President of Jabber on December 1, 2003, to serve until a permanent President and CEO has been retained. Jabber has retained an executive search firm to assist it in hiring a new President/CEO and has begun interviewing candidates for this position as well as for the Vice President – Sales position. However, there can be no assurance as to when a new President/CEO or Vice President – Sales will be hired. Jabber’s operations and business could be adversely affected until the new President/CEO and Vice President – Sales are retained by disruptions in Jabber’s normal management activities that are likely to occur during the search process and the transition period following the hiring of a new President/CEO and Vice President – Sales.

 

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. We expect that Jabber’s current customers will account for a significant percentage of its revenues during 2004. There is no assurance that Jabber will be able to retain major customers or attract additional major customers. The loss of or reduction in demand for Jabber’s products or services from major customers could have a material adverse effect on Jabber’s operating results and cash flow from operations.

 

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

 

  Identify new product and service opportunities; or

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

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

 

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

 

  Reduce the selling prices for its products and services; or

 

  Increase its spending on marketing, sales and product development.

 

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

 

It usually takes a long time for Jabber to make a sale of its products and services to a customer. While Jabber’s sales cycle varies from customer to customer, it is long, typically ranging from two to nine months or more. Jabber’s sales cycle may also be affected by a prospective customer’s budgetary constraints and internal acceptance reviews, over which Jabber has little or no control.

 

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

 

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