Filed March 31, 2008

Response letter dated December 30, 2008

File No. 000-26731


Dear Mr. Kronforst,


This letter is in response to your comment letter dated December 30, 2008, regarding the above identified Form 10-K of Pacific WebWorks Inc. (the “Company”).  The Company is filing via EDGAR this response letter; however, the Company will delay filing an amended Form 10-K until the concerns you have raised related to our financial statements are resolved to your satisfaction.  At that time, we will file the amended 2007 Form 10-K and the amended quarterly reports for the periods ended March 31, 2008, June 30, 2008 and September 30, 2008.


We are providing our responses to your comments, as follows, and upon your review and acceptance of our accounting treatment, the Company will file the periodic reports that require amendment.  We have restated your comments and each comment is followed by the Company’s response.

amended Form 10-K as a result of our comments.  However, we also note that several of your responses indicate that you will make certain changes in future filings.  For the items noted in prior comments 2, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 10, please tell us whether you plan to include these changes in your amendment or in future filings.  For the items you intend to change in future filings only, please explain your basis for why you will not make these changes in the amendment.


Response:  In the amendment the Company will make all required changes pursuant to comments 2, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 10, and will continue to report using the revised disclosures in all future filings.



Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements


Note 1 – The Company and Basis of Presentation


Earnings (loss) Per Share, page 30


Comment 2.

In the schedule provided as part of your response to prior comment 6, we note that you revised your weighted average shares outstanding, but your 2007 earnings per share does not appear to reflect these revisions.  In this regard, it appears that your basic earnings per share would be $0.02 rather than $0.03.  Please advise.


Response:   We agree with the above comment and have changed the earnings per share disclosure to reflect the proper amount.  The error was due to the method of the rounding of the calculation in our spreadsheet.  Please see Exhibit #1 for the revised Consolidated Statements of Operations.  We will include this statement presentation in our amended Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.


Comment 3.  

We note your proposed changes to diluted shares outstanding presented in the supplemental schedule.  However, it remains unclear to us how your calculations are in accordance with the treasury stock method described in SFAS 128.  Specifically, it appears that you have included the total amount of dilutive options outstanding rather than the incremental shares as described in paragraph 17(c) of SFAS 128.  Please tell us how your calculation of diluted earnings per share complies with paragraphs 17 to 19 of SFAS 128 and provide use with your detailed calculations.  Similar concerns apply to your Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2008.


Response:  We have reviewed paragraphs 17 to 19 of SFAS 128 and agree with your comment.  We have changed our earnings per share calculations and disclosures on the attached schedules.

We have also included the calculations for the period ended September 30, 2008.  Please see Exhibit #2 though Exhibit #5.  These exhibits will be the disclosures that will be filed in our amended Form 10-K, and our amended Forms10-Q for the periods ended March 31, 2008, June 30, 2008 and September 30, 2008.


Note 6 – Stockholders’ Equity, page 32


Comment 4.

We have the following additional comments regarding prior comment 7:


Please explain to us how the grant-date fair value of the options granted in 2006 equals the exercise price of the options.  In this regard, we would expect that the grant-date fair value determined using a Black-Scholes model would be different than the exercise price.  Similar concerns may apply to the options issued during 2007; and

Provide us with the vesting periods for options granted in 2006 and 2007 and clarify the time periods over which you are recognizing compensation expense.  See paragraphs 39 to 42 of SFAS 123(R).


Response: The Company has reviewed the option schedules and Black-Scholes calculations for the grants made during 2006 and 2007.  We recognize that the calculation of the option values were done in error for the year ended December 31, 2006.  We have re-calculated the value of the options via the Black-Scholes model and have presented our calculations in Exhibits #6 and #7.  As noted in Exhibit #6, the amount that was expensed immediately, rather than over the vesting period, was overstated by $46,536.  The remaining expense amount of $37,861 should have been recognized during 2007, which results in a total overstatement for the 2006 options of $8,673.  As presented in Exhibit #7, the Company understated the amount that should have been recorded by $5,805 during the year ended December 31, 2007 for the options that were granted during the year.  The remaining $23,944 would be recognized in 2008.  Management believes that although our net loss decreased in 2006 and our net income decreased in 2007, the effects of the changes did not affect our earnings per share calculations.  Management also believes that at the end of 2007 the total affect on the financial statements for the options expense is an overstatement of $3,106, and management does not believe that at the end of 2007 the overstatement has a material impact to our financial statements.  

The Company has subsequently developed rigorous controls to monitor the calculations of the options that are granted using the Black-Scholes model, and their vesting dates.  We have attached Exhibits #6 and #7 presenting our Black-Scholes calculations and the vesting periods of the 2006 and 2007 options, as requested.


Comment 5.

We note that your response to prior comment 8 does not address the disclosures required by paragraph A240 of SFAS 123R.  Please tell us how your disclosures




Mr. Kronforst

U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission

January 29, 2009

Page 4



                         comply with each of the items in paragraph A240.  At a minimum, we note you have not disclosed the following:

The requisite service periods associated with stock options and any other substantive conditions including those related to vesting;

The weighted-average grant-date fair value of stock options granted during each of the periods presented; and

The aggregate intrinsic value of stock options outstanding and exercisable.


Response:  The Company has reviewed paragraph A240 of SFAS 123(R) and has modified the Equity Incentive Plan footnote to include the items that were not disclosed.  The footnote that we will include in our amended Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007 and in subsequent filings is attached as Exhibit #8.


Note 9 – Income Taxes, page 37


Comment 6.

Your response to prior comment 9 indicates that you considered the guidance in paragraph 21 of FIN 48.  Tell us where you provided the disclosures specified in paragraph 21 or why you believe these disclosures are not required.


Response:  We have again reviewed the guidance in paragraph 21 of FIN 48 and have revised our disclosure to include items listed in that paragraph.  Please refer to Exhibit #9 for the revised disclosure that we will include in our amended Form 10-K as of December 31, 2007.  


Form 10-Q for the Fiscal Quarter Ended September 30, 2008


General


Comment 7.

Please tell us how you considered the comments raised in our letter dated October 10, 2008 when preparing your Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2008.  Specifically, we note that several of your responses indicated that you would revise your disclosures in future filings; however, you do not appear to have done so.


Response:  The Company filed the Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2009, on November 14, 2008, and the Company filed our response to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) comment letter dated October 20, 2008, on November 20, 2008; six days later.  As indicated in our response to comment 1, the Company will make the required changes related to Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007 through amendment and will continue to report using the revised disclosures in all future filings.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements


Note 1 - The Company and Basis of Presentation


Trade Receivables and Collections, page 8


Comment 8:

We note that you accounts receivable balance has increased significantly since December 31, 2007; however, we also note that you no longer maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts.  Please explain to us how you concluded that an allowance was no longer necessary as of September 30, 2008.


Response:   A new credit card processing arrangement allows for only bimonthly payments and, therefore, we have increased accounts receivable at the end of each month for cash already collected into the processing account, but not yet paid to the Company.

In a Commission comment letter dated July 28, 2006, comment 6 raised concerns regarding our revenue recognition policies.  In comment 2 of a subsequent comment letter, dated March 8, 2007, the Commission stated that “a more appropriate accounting model may be to record this revenue upon cash receipt.”  After months of discussions with the Commission, the Company decided to follow the opinion of the Commission and record our recurring sales on a cash basis.  

Based upon this directive from the Commission, we no longer record sales until payment has been made and no longer carry bad debt or an allowance for doubtful accounts related to recurring revenues because “collectability cannot be reasonably assured.”  The Company does not record a sale until the Company can conclude that collection is reasonably assured “upon billing” or on a cash basis.  This approach was used in our Commission required restatement of the Company’s December 31, 2005 financial statements included in the amended 2005 Form 10-KSB.  In that amendment the only changes made related to taking sales to a cash basis and, therefore, removing bad debt.  This is how the Company has continued to record sales.

In connection with our response to your comments, the Company acknowledges that:



·

the Company is responsible for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the filing;


·

staff comments or changes to disclosure in response to staff comments do not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to the filing; and


·

the Company may not assert staff comments as a defense in any proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the federal securities laws of the United States.

Exhibit 2


Earnings (loss) per share:

The computation of net earnings (loss) per share of common stock is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during each period presented.  The Company utilizes the treasury stock method to calculate diluted earnings (loss) per share, which considers potentially issuable shares on common stock equivalents.  In accordance with SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share," common stock options have a dilutive effect when the average market price of the common stock during the period exceeds the exercise price of the options.  The average market price of the Company's common stock during the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2007 was  $0.08 and $0.06, respectively.  As such, potentially issuable common shares totaling 3,890,000 related to options were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share for the period ended December 31, 2006 because their effect was anti-dilutive.  Potentially issuable common shares totaling 209,000 related to options were included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the period ended December 31, 2007.

The computation of net earnings (loss) per share of common stock is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during each period presented.  The Company utilizes the treasury stock method to calculate diluted earnings (loss) per share, which considers potentially issuable shares on common stock equivalents.  In accordance with SFAS  No. 128, "Earnings per Share," common   stock options have a dilutive effect when the average market price of the common stock during the period exceeds the exercise price of the options.  The average market price of the Company's common stock for the six month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2008 was $0.04 and $0.09, respectively.  The average market price of the Company's common stock for the three month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2008 was $0.04 and $0.09, respectively.  As such, potentially issuable common shares were not considered in the earnings per share calculation for the three and six month period ending June 30, 2007 because the average fair market value of the Company's common stock was below the exercise price of all outstanding options.  Potentially issuable common shares totaling 1,245,611 related to options were included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2008.

Equity Incentive Plan

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

On March 8, 2001, the Board of Directors adopted the Pacific Webworks, Inc. 2001 Equity Incentive Plan (the

 

Plan).  The Plan allows for the granting of awards in the form of stock options, stock appreciation rights or restricted

 

shares to employees, independent directors and certain consultants.  The Plan was amended by the Company on

 

March 15, 2007, to allow for grant awards representing up to 10,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock

 

under the Plan.  The Plan has not been approved by the Company's shareholders as of December 31, 2007.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

During 2006, the Company granted 1,230,000 common stock options to employees as part of their incentive plan.

 

These options vested equally over a 12 month period.  The options can be exercised at a price of $0.048 any time

 

after vesting for a period of five years.  During 2007, the Company granted a total of 1,540,000 common stock options

to employees as part of the plan.  The options vest 1/2 upon grant and 1/2 over the next six months.  The options

 

can be exercised at a price of$0.061 any time after vesting for a period of five years from the date of grant.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A summary of our common stock options as of December 31, 2006 and 2007, and the changes during 2006 and 2007

Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted the fair value recognition provisions of FASB Statement No. 123R, "Share-

 

based Payment" (SFAS 123R), using the modified-prospective-transition method.  Under this transition method,

 

total compensation cost for 2006 and 2007 includes compensation costs for all share-based payments granted

 

prior to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with

 

the original provisions of SFAS 123, and compensation costs for all share-based payments granted subsequent to

 

January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123R.  

 

Accordingly, compensation cost for grants of stock options of $59,154 and $42,083 has been recognized in the

 

accompanying consolidated statements of operations for 2006 and 2007, respectively.  We estimated the fair

 

value of our option awards granted using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.  We record compensation

 

expense ratably over the option's vesting period.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The fair value of each option granted has been estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option

 

valuation model, using the following assumptions:

NOTE 9 - Income Taxes

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) has issued Financial Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in

Income Taxes - An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48).  FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income

taxes recognized in an enterprise's financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income

Taxes.  FIN 48 requires a company to determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained will be

 

sustained upon examination based upon the technical merits of the position.  If the more-likely-than-not threshold is met, a

 

company must measure the tax position to determine the amount to recognize in the financial statements.  As a result of the

implementation of FIN 48, the Company performed a review of its material tax positions in accordance with recognition and

 

measurement standards established by FIN 48.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

At the adoption date of January 1, 2007, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefit which would affect the effective tax

 

rate if recognized.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Company includes interest and penalties arising from the underpayment of income taxes in the consolidated statements

of operations in the provision for income taxes.  As of December 31, 2007, the Company had no accrued interest or penalties

related to uncertain tax positions.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary

 

differences and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary

 

 differences.  Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their

 

tax basis.  Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely

 

than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted

for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

During the current year the Company incurred net income.  The Company recorded a net deferred tax asset and income tax

benefit in the financial statements due to the net deductible temorary differences or net operating loss carryforwards

 

because the likelihood of realization of the related tax benefits was established.  Prior to 2007, and since inception of the

 

Company, management was unable to project when the Company would be in a position to utilize their net operating loss

 

carryforwards.  The Company booked an estimated tax benefit based on projected earnings.  Based on an analysis  of the

 

Company's net operating losses, a $600,000 deferred tax asset and related income tax benefit was recorded.  Accordingly, a

valuation allowance has been recorded to reduce the net deferred tax asset to $600,000.  The decrease in the valuation

 

allowance was $516,143 for the year ended December 31, 2007.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As of December 31, 2007, the Company had federal and state net operating loss carryforwards for tax reporting purposes of

approximately $9,600,000 and $10,200,000, respectively, expiring through 2027.  As of December 31, 2007 the Company had a

federal capital loss carryforward for tax reporting purposes of approximately $650,000 expiring in 2008 related to goodwill from

the sale of a subsidiary company in 2003.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Due to the change in ownership provisions of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, net operating loss carryforwards for federal incom tax

reporting purposes are subject to annual limitations.  Should a change in ownership occur, net operating loss carryforwards may

be limited as to use in future years.
