Pacific WebWorks, Inc. and Subsidiaries
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2008
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 - THE COMPANY AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The Company
Pacific WebWorks, Inc. and its subsidiaries, engage in the development and distribution of web tools software, electronic business storefront hosting, and Internet payment systems for individuals and small to mid-sized businesses.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Pacific WebWorks, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Intellipay, Inc., TradeWorks Marketing, Inc., FundWorks, Inc., and World Commerce Network, LLC. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The operations of World Commerce Network, LLC have been discontinued. On July 31, 2007 the Company formed Pacific WebWorks International, LTD, a United Kingdom limited company. We are in the process of forming Pacific WebWorks GmbH, an Austrian company. Neither of these companies are currently operating.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Management believes that the estimates used in preparing the financial statements are reasonable and prudent; however, actual results could differ from these estimates. Significant estimates include the allowance for doubtful accounts, impairment assessments of goodwill, and certain accrued liabilities such as contingent liabilities.
Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments maturing in three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
Concentrations
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risks consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents at well known quality financial institutions. At times, such cash and investments may be in excess of the FDIC insurance limit.
Depreciation and amortization
Depreciation of property and equipment is provided on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Accelerated methods of depreciation of property and equipment are used for income tax purposes.
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash includes cash maintained in a reserve account with the Companies merchant bank in connection with the Companies acceptance of credit card payment for its services.
Goodwill
The Company
adopted SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, in 2002. Under
SFAS No. 142, goodwill is no longer amortized, but is tested for impairment
at a reporting unit level on an annual basis and between annual tests if an
event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - THE COMPANY AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION - CONTINUED
the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. Events or circumstances which could trigger an impairment review include a significant adverse change in legal factors or in the business climate, an adverse action or assessment by a regulator, unanticipated competition, a loss of key personnel, significant changes in the manner of our use of the acquired assets or the strategy for our overall business, significant negative industry or economic trends or projected future results of operations. For purposes of financial reporting and impairment testing in accordance with SFAS No. 142, the Companys Intellipay business unit operates in one principal business segment, a provider of online credit card gateway services.
In testing for a potential impairment of goodwill, the estimated fair value of the business unit is compared with book value, including goodwill. If the estimated fair value exceeds book value, goodwill is considered not to be impaired and no additional steps are necessary. If, however, the fair value of the Company is less than book value, then the carrying amount of the goodwill is compared with its implied fair value. The estimate of implied fair value of goodwill may require independent valuations of certain internally generated and unrecognized intangible assets such as our paying monthly gateway portfolio, software and technology and trademarks. If the carrying amount of our goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of that goodwill, an impairment loss would be recognized in an amount equal to the excess. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, the Company performed a goodwill impairment test during 2006 and concluded that the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of the goodwill, accordingly an impairment loss was recognized in December 2006 of $1,000,000.
Fair value of financial instruments
The fair value of the Companys cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and capital lease obligations approximate carrying value based on their effective interest rates compared to current market prices.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission, Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 101, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements and its revisions in SAB No. 104. SAB 101 and 104 clarify application of generally accepted accounting principles related to revenue transactions. In the third quarter 2003, the company adopted EITF Issue No. 00-21, Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables ("EITF Issue No. 00-21").
We receive revenue for hosting, gateway, and maintenance fees, software access and licensing fees, training and education and the sale of merchant accounts as well as custom website design work. Revenues from up-front fees are deferred and recognized over the period services are performed ranging from eight months to one year. Fees for the set-up of merchant accounts are deferred and recognized as services are completed (which is generally two months). Revenues from monthly hosting, maintenance, transaction and processing fees are recorded when earned. Operating lease revenues for merchant accounts and software are recorded as they become due from customers.
The Company recognizes revenues when all of the following criteria are met: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (2) delivery of products and services has occurred, (3) the fee is fixed or determinable and (4) collectibility is reasonably assured.
In an arrangement with multiple deliverables, the delivered item(s) is considered a separate unit of accounting if all of the following criteria are met: (1) the delivered item(s) has value to the customer on a standalone basis, (2) there is objective and reliable evidence of the fair value of the undelivered item(s), and (3) if the arrangement includes a general right of return, delivery or performance of the undelivered item(s) is considered probable

and substantially in the control of the vendor.

Discontinued subsidiary World Commerce Network, LLC
In July 2002, the Board of Directors of Pacific WebWorks, Inc. resolved to discontinue World Commerce Network, LLC. Negotiations and settlements of World Commerce liabilities are currently underway as the LLC is phasing out its related operations. World Commerce Network became a consolidated entity with the Company in March 2000.
Pending litigation
In September 2002, World Commerce Network, LLC received a complaint from a leasing company for recourse obligations funded for customer leases during 2000 for seminar related activities. The agreement between World Commerce Network and the leasing company provides for recourse on leases in which customers have not made first payment. Estimated recourse obligations for World Commerce Network approximate $95,000 at December 31, 2007 and March 31, 2008 and have been recorded as an accrued liability. Management believes that the recorded liability for this matter is sufficient to cover any resulting judgment from this claim.
In April 2001, one of World Commerce Networks former vendors filed a complaint alleging default under a certain application for credit and personal guaranty made by a former officer of the Company. The vendor seeks approximately $65,000 plus interest. The Company is defending the claim and believes the amount should be reduced based upon the vendors performance and other disputes. The Company has filed an answer to the complaint and further litigation is pending. The Company has recorded $20,000 to accrued liabilities in the consolidated financial statements in December 31, 2007 and March 31, 2008 representing its estimated liability for this matter. Management believes that the amount recorded is sufficient to cover the resulting liability from this complaint.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Executive Overview
The company consists of the operations of Pacific WebWorks and its four operating subsidiaries: Intellipay, Inc., TradeWorks Marketing, Inc., FundWorks, Inc. and Pacific WebWorks International LTD. We also have a non-operating, discontinued operations subsidiary, World Commerce Network, LLC. Our revenues are primarily from the sale of access to our software technology, financial services and continuing monthly service and hosting fees. We also derive revenues for services related to web site design, training, education and consulting.
Pacific WebWorks is an application service provider and software development firm that develops business software technologies and services for business merchants and organizations using Internet and other technologies. We specialize in turn-key applications allowing small- to medium-sized businesses to expand their business over the Internet. Our product family provides tools for web site creation, management and maintenance, electronic business storefront hosting, and Internet payment systems for the small- to medium-sized business and organization. Pacific WebWorks assists small businesses in succeeding online through our Visual WebTools software, the Intellipay payment systems, education and hosting services.
Our subsidiary, Intellipay Inc., specializes in providing online, secure and real-time payment processing services for businesses of all sizes. Our TradeWorks Marketing, Inc. subsidiary mass markets Pacific WebWorks and Intellipay products. FundWorks, Inc. provides operating lease arrangements for certain TradeWorks customers. On July 31, 2007, we formed Pacific WebWorks International LTD, a United Kingdom limited company. We formed this company to help facilitate our international sales and merchant account requirements.
During the first quarter of 2008 we enjoyed a significant increase in revenues and profits over the first quarter of 2007. Our financial strength continues to improve with increased liquidity and no long term debt.
Challenges continue to revolve around dealing with our rapid growth, in particular as it relates to retaining sufficient credit card processing capabilities. Our major challenges continue to revolve around the unreasonable and unrealistic requirements of credit card associations in respect to Internet related transactions. We are in the process of implementing a long term solution that should ease these difficulties. We expect the implementation of this process to be completed during the second quarter of 2008.
We expect to see continued growth through 2008 and beyond. We have established excellent relationships with online media firms throughout the United States and anticipate working closely with them to continue these results. Our most immediate challenge is that of managing this explosive growth and communicating our progress to the financial markets.
Competition throughout the Internet software industry continues to intensify. In particular, competition for the small office/home office business is intensifying with greater attention being directed to this market from a larger variety of product and service providers using new and more aggressive means to market to this industry. We believe Pacific WebWorks has great potential in the marketplace, but we constantly need more capital and greater resources. We also have the challenge of
14
identifying and effectively implementing our products into new product distribution channels, responding to economic changes generally, continuing to gain marketplace acceptance and we must address shifting public attitudes for technology products. These challenges could pose a threat to our success.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Historically we have relied upon revenues, loans, and equity transactions to fund our operations, but for the year ended December 31, 2007 we relied mainly upon revenues and proceeds from the sale of stock. We expect to continue to generate positive cash flows through further development of our business and distribution channels and we plan to address only the liabilities of our operating subsidiaries with our current cash balances and cash inflows.
We are dependent upon the efforts of our internal marketing staff and on third party resellers, including our wholly-owned reseller, TradeWorks Marketing, to increase our revenues. For the three month period ended March 31, 2008 (the 2008 first quarter) our monthly cash outflows were primarily related to selling expenses which totaled $2,278,363 and general and administrative expenses that totaled $687,482. These cash outflows can exceed monthly cash inflows based on timing differences between marketing campaigns and sales.
A small portion of our revenues are comprised of deferred revenue that we recognized over the year. We carried deferred revenue of $14,484 on our books as a current liability as of March 31, 2008. Deferred revenue includes up-front fees received for license fees, software services and education not yet performed or delivered. These deferred revenues will be recognized over the next eight to twelve months. It should be noted that this liability does not require a specific cash outlay, but only that we remain a going concern.
We also record monthly revenues from operating leases. Certain customers of TradeWorks Marketing entered into operating leases to purchase e-commerce software and merchant account agreements that were assigned by TradeWorks Marketing to FundWorks. The customers pay $59.95 per month for the operating lease agreement and the agreements have terms over 24 to 36 months and are non-cancelable. Related revenues are recorded monthly as earned. The future annual minimum lease receipts for FundWorks operating leases as of March 31, 2008 were approximately $5,395 through March 31, 2009. Collectability of future minimum lease receipts cannot be assured because the customers placed in these operating leases have a higher credit risk.
We believe that we may need an additional $1 to $2 million during the next twelve to twenty-four months to continue to keep up with technological improvements and further our business development strategies. We believe funding may be obtained through additional debt arrangements or equity offerings in addition to internally generated cash flows. However, if we are unable to obtain additional funds on acceptable terms, then we might be forced to delay or abandon some or all of our product development, marketing or business plans, and growth could be slowed, which may result in declines in our operating results and common stock market price.
If we rely on equity offerings for funding or services, then we will likely use private placements of our common stock pursuant to exemptions from the registration requirements provided by federal and state securities laws. The purchasers and manner of issuance will be determined according to our financial needs and the available exemptions. We also note that if we issue more shares of our common stock our stockholders may experience dilution in the value per share of their common stock.
Results of Operations
The following discussions are based on the consolidated financial statements of Pacific WebWorks, Intellipay, TradeWorks Marketing, Fundworks and the discontinued operations of World Commerce Network, LLC, a non-operating company for the three month periods ended March 31, 2008 and 2007. The following chart is a summary of our financial statements for those periods and should be read in conjunction with the financial statements, and notes thereto, included with this report at Part I, Item 1, above.

Our net revenues increased for the 2008 first quarter as compared to the three month period ended March 31, 2007 (the 2007 first quarter) as a result of our continued marketing activities. Management expects future revenue increases to come largely from recurring residual income rather than from one time upfront fees. We recognize revenue from hosting, gateway, and maintenance fees, software access and licensing fees, training and education and the sale of merchant accounts, as well as custom website design work. Revenues from up-front fees from customers are recorded on the balance sheets as deferred revenues and are recognized over the period services are performed, ranging from eight months to one year. Fees for the set-up of merchant accounts are deferred and recognized as services are completed, which is generally two months. Revenues from monthly hosting, maintenance, transaction and processing fees are recorded when earned. Operating lease revenues for merchant accounts and software are recorded as they become due from customers.
Cost of sales include costs related to fulfillment, customer service, certain royalties and commissions, amortization of purchased customer portfolios, service personnel, telecommunications and data center costs. The cost of sales decreased for the 2008 first quarter compared to 2007 first quarter due to the reclassification of certain expenses as selling expense. Management anticipates that cost of sales will remain lower in the short term as we continue our new marketing strategies.
Total operating expenses increased for 2008 first quarter compared to 2007 first quarter primarily due to increases in selling expenses. Selling expenses include advertising expenses, seminar expenses, commissions and personnel expenses for sales and marketing. Selling expenses increased from $978,031 for the 2007 first quarter to $2,278,363 for the 2008 first quarter. The increase was primarily due to increased costs related to our online marketing programs. While selling expense increased the long term recurring value of the revenues received, versus the one-time upfront sale, more than justifies the increase.
General and administrative expenses include personnel expenses for executive, finance, and internal support personnel. In addition, general and administrative expenses include fees for bad debt costs, professional legal and accounting services, insurance, office space, banking and merchant fees, and other overhead-related costs. General and administrative expenses increased from $440,011 for the 2007 first quarter to $687,482 for the 2008 first quarter. This increase was largely due to an increase in staff and related expenses necessary to facilitate our rapid growth. Management expects to see increases in general and administrative expenses in the short term consistent with continued increases in customer accounts expected in the next twelve months.
Research and development expenses include expenses for the maintenance of existing software and the development of new or improved software and technology, including personnel expenses for the product engineering department. Research and development expenses increased from $67,612 for the 2007 first quarter to $80,630 for the 2008 first quarter. The increase was due to the increased expense related to the development of our new product offers.
16
Total other income for the 2008 first quarter included interest income earned on certificates of deposit and miscellaneous income for the recovery of a previously booked expense. Total other income for the 2007 first quarter included interest income earned on certificates of deposit and the recovery of a previously booked expense; offset by interest expense related to a loan payable.
Due to a successful 2008 first quarter showing marked improvement in revenues we recorded net income for the 2008 first quarter compared to a net loss for the 2007 first quarter.

The operations of World Commerce Network, LLC, our subsidiary, are ceased and discontinued. Management continues to attempt to negotiate settlements of World Commerce Networks accrued liabilities. As of March 31, 2008, World Commerce Networks accrued liabilities totaled $151,264 and included estimated contingent recourse obligations and attorneys fees approximating $95,000 and approximately $56,000 for estimated customer refunds. In addition, World Commerce Network had a contingent liability of approximately $64,000 plus interest related to an alleged default of application for credit and personal guaranty made by a former officer of Pacific WebWorks. We continue to work through various matters related to
17
these liabilities and management believes the recorded liabilities are sufficient to cover any resulting liability. There has been no activity on any of these accounts for nearly three years.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Estimates of particular significance in our financial statements include deferred revenue calculations, trade receivables and collections, goodwill and the annual tests for impairment of goodwill, contingent liabilities, and valuing stock option compensation.
Deferred revenue - In the past deferred revenue calculations materially affect our financial results. In this area cash revenues received for certain product sales, such as revenues from up-front fees, are recognized over the period services are performed. This requires deferring the immediate recognition of those revenues from eight months to one year and creating a deferred revenue liability account.
Trade receivables and collections - We apply a range of collection techniques to manage delinquent accounts. Management reviews accounts receivable monthly and records an estimate of receivables determined to be uncollectible due to allowance for doubtful accounts and bad debt. Accounts receiveable and the corresponding allowance for doubtful accounts are reviewed for collectiblity by management quarterly and uncollectible accounts receivable are written off.
Goodwill - Goodwill related to Intellipay is assessed annually for impairment by comparing the fair values of Intellipay to its carrying amount, including goodwill. In testing for a potential impairment of goodwill, the estimated fair value of Intellipay is compared with book value, including goodwill. If the estimated fair value exceeds book value, goodwill is considered not to be impaired and no additional steps are necessary. If, however, the fair value of Intellipay is less than book value, then the carrying amount of the goodwill is compared with its implied fair value.
The estimate of implied fair value of goodwill may require independent valuations of certain internally generated and unrecognized intangible assets such as our paying monthly gateway portfolio, software and technology and trademarks. If the carrying amount of our goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of that goodwill, an impairment loss would be recognized in an amount equal to the excess. The fair value of Intellipay is estimated using both cash flow information from internal budgets and multiples of revenue. In the event that an impairment indicator arises prior to our annual impairment test of goodwill, we will provide a full test relative to the indicator in the period that the indicator is present. We performed a goodwill impairment test during 2007 and concluded that was no impairment indicators of good will.
Contingent liabilities - Material estimates for contingent liabilities include approximately $74,000 for our operating companies and approximately $151,000 in net current liabilities of our discontinued operations. From a liquidity standpoint, any settlement or judgment received by us from pending or threatened litigation may have a direct affect on our cash balances at March 31, 2008. Any judgments that may be received by us for pending or threatened litigation related to discontinued operations may not have a direct affect on our assets as management does not intend to satisfy such claims with the assets of our operating companies. Management believes that all amounts estimated and recorded as contingent liabilities approximate the amount of liabilities that could be owed to parties in the form of settlement or in a judgment. We have had no communication for over three years with any of the parties related to the contingent liabilities of our discontinued operations. Any settlements that might occur below amounts accrued would result in a favorable impact to our earnings and working capital.
Valuing stock options - As permitted by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148, we continue to account for stock options under APB Opinion No. 25, under which no compensation has been recognized. The fair value of the options we have granted is estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes American option-pricing model. Option pricing models require the input of highly sensitive assumptions, including expected stock volatility. Also, our stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate. Management believes the best input assumptions available were used to value the options and that the resulting option values are reasonable.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed with the SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC. This information is accumulated and communicated to our executive officers to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives. Our Chief Executive Officer, who also acts in the capacity of principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, he concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Managements Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our Chief Executive Officer, who also acts in the capacity of principal financial officer, is responsible to design or supervise a process to be effected by our board of directors that provides reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Our process of internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving the following policies and procedures:
$
maintenance of records in reasonable detail to accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of assets,
$
reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors, and
$
reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements.
Our management has determined that there were no changes made in our internal controls over financial reporting during the first quarter of 2008 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
Factors Affecting Future Performance
We have a history of losses and could incur future losses.
In the past we have been unable to fund our day-to-day operations from revenues alone and have recorded net losses. However, for the 2008 first quarter and the year ended December 31, 2007, we recorded net income from continuing operations. We anticipate revenue from operations and equity transactions will fund our growth and operations for the next twelve months; however, we cannot assure you that we will be able to maintain profitability.
We may need additional external capital and may be unable to raise it.
Based on our current growth plan we believe we may require $1 to $2 million additional financing within the next twelve months to remain competitive in our market. If we fail to obtain funds on acceptable terms, then we might be forced to delay or abandon some or all of our business plans. Our success will depend upon our ability to access equity capital markets and borrow on terms that are financially advantageous to us. Also, we may not be able to obtain additional funds on acceptable
19
terms. If we are unable to obtain additional capital, then we may not have sufficient working capital to develop products, finance acquisitions, or pursue business opportunities. If we borrow funds, then we could be forced to use a large portion of our cash reserves to repay principal and interest on those funds. If we issue our securities for capital, then the interests of investors and shareholders could be diluted.
We are subject to intense competition from large and small companies that limits our ability to obtain market share and may force our prices down.
We face competition in the overall Internet software market, as well as in the web site building market. Our ability to earn significant revenues from our Visual WebTools or IntelliPay payment system will depend in part on their acceptance by a substantial number of online businesses. Broad acceptance of our products and services and their use in large numbers is critical to our success because a large portion of our revenues are derived from one-time and recurring fees we charge to customers buying our products and services. Our success in obtaining market share will depend upon our ability to build name brand recognition and to provide cost-effective products and services to our customers. We have developed our products to meet the needs of small businesses and we believe the generality of our competitors services may be inadequately addressing the small business owners needs. We expect competition to persist, increase, and intensify in the future as the markets for our products and services continue to develop and as additional competitors enter our market. In addition, many of our current or potential competitors have broad distribution channels that they may use to bundle competing products directly to end-users or purchasers. If these competitors were to bundle competing products for their customers, it could adversely affect our ability to obtain market share and may force our prices down.
We may be unable to achieve market acceptance because technological standards for payment processing are not established.
One obstacle to widespread market acceptance for the IntelliPay payment system is that widely adopted technological standards for accepting and processing payments over the Internet have not yet emerged. As a result, merchants and financial institutions have been slow to select which service to use. Until one or more dominant standards emerge, we must design, develop, test, introduce and support new services to meet changing customer needs and respond to other technological developments. To be successful, we must obtain widespread acceptance of our technologies, or modify our products and services to meet whatever industry standards do ultimately develop. It is not certain that we will be able to do either.
We depend upon our proprietary rights, none of which can be completely safeguarded against infringement.
Our ability to compete effectively will depend, in part, upon our ability to protect our proprietary source codes for Visual WebTools and the IntelliPay payment system through a combination of licenses and trade secrets. These agreements and procedures may not effectively prevent disclosure of our confidential information and may not provide us with an adequate remedy in the event of unauthorized disclosure of such information. Intellectual property rights, by their nature, are uncertain and involve complex legal and factual questions. We rely upon trade secrets with respect to our source code and functionalities and other unpatented proprietary information in our product development activities. We seek to protect trade secrets and proprietary knowledge in part through confidentiality agreements with our employees, resellers, and collaborators.
If employees or collaborators develop products independently that may be applicable to our products under development, disputes may arise about ownership of proprietary rights to those products or services. Protracted and costly litigation could be necessary to enforce and determine the scope of our proprietary rights. It would be impossible to predict whether litigation might be successful.
We rely in part on third party technology licenses which we cannot guarantee will be available to us in the future.
We rely on certain technology which we license from third parties, including software which is integrated with internally developed software and used in our software to perform key functions. Our inability to maintain any of these technology licenses could result in delays in distribution of our services or increased costs of our products and services. We cannot assure you that third party technology licenses will continue to be available to us on commercially reasonable terms, or at all.
20
We must update our products and services and may experience increased costs and delays which could reduce operating profit.
The electronic commerce, web hosting and merchant processing markets in which we compete are characterized by technological change, new product introductions, evolving industry standards and changing customer needs. In order to remain competitive, we may be required to engage in a number of research and development projects, which carries the risks associated with any research and development effort, including cost overruns, delays in delivery and performance problems. Any delay in the delivery of new products or services could render them less desirable by our customers, or possibly even obsolete. Any performance problem with a new product or service may require significant funds to correct the problem. As a result of these factors, our research and development efforts could result in increased costs that could reduce our operating profit, a loss of revenue if promised new products are not timely delivered to our customers, or a loss of revenue or possible claims for damages if new products and services do not perform as anticipated.
We may experience software defects which may damage customer relations.
Despite rigorous testing, our software may nevertheless contain undetected bugs, errors or experience failures when introduced, or when the volume of services provided increases. Any material errors could damage the reputation of our service or software, as well as damage our customer relations. We have detected errors, defects, and bugs in the past and have corrected them as quickly as possible. Correcting any defects or bugs we may discover in the future may require us to make significant expenditures of capital and other resources. We believe that we follow industry-standard practices relating to the identification and resolution of errors, defects, or bugs encountered in the development of new software and in the enhancement of existing features in our products. As of the date of this filing we have not experienced any material adverse effect by reason of an error, defect, or bug.
We may experience breakdowns in our hosting services, infrastructure or payment processing systems, which may expose us to liabilities and cause customers to abandon our products and services.
We would be unable to deliver our payment processing services or hosting services if our system infrastructures break down or are otherwise interrupted. Events that could cause system interruptions are:
$
fire,
$
earthquake,
$
power loss,
$
terrorist attacks,
$
harmful software programs,
$
telecommunications failure, and
$
unauthorized entry or other events.
Although we regularly back up data from operations, and take other measures to protect against loss of data, there is still some risk of such losses.
Despite the security measures we maintain, our infrastructure may be vulnerable to computer viruses, hackers, rouge employees or similar sources of disruption. Any problem of this nature could result in significant liability to customers or financial institutions and also may deter potential customers from using our services. We attempt to limit this sort of liability through back-up systems, contractual provisions, insurance, and other security measures. However, we cannot assure you that these contractual limitations on liability would be enforceable, or that our insurance coverage would be adequate to cover any liabilities we might sustain.
Also, a breach of our e-commerce security measures could reduce demand for our services. The e-commerce industry is intensely focused on the need for Internet security, particularly with respect to the transmission and storage of confidential personal and financial data. Any compromise or elimination of our security could erode customer confidence in our systems and could result in lower demand for our services or possible litigation.
21
We are dependent upon license renewal which cannot be assured to occur.
We derive revenues from user licenses and license renewals on a month to month arrangement. We also intend to increase the brand recognition of our products among users through these types of relationships. If a substantial number of our customers were to decline to renew their contracts for any reason, then we could experience a substantial drop in revenues. Our success in establishing our products as a recognized brand name and achieving their acceptance in the market will depend in part on our ability to continually engineer and deliver new product technologies and superior customer service, so that customers renew their licenses month to month.
We may pursue acquisitions of complementary service product lines, technologies or business which may interfere with our operations and negatively affect our financial position.
From time to time, we evaluate potential acquisitions of businesses, services, products, or technologies. These acquisitions may result in a potentially dilutive issuance of equity securities, the incurrence of debt and contingent liabilities, and amortization of expenses related to goodwill and other intangible assets. In addition, acquisitions involve numerous risks, including difficulties in the assimilation of the operations, technologies, services, and products of the acquired companies; the diversion of managements attention from other business concerns; risks of entering markets in which we have no or limited direct prior experience; and, the potential loss of key employees of the acquired company. As of the date of this filing, we have no present commitment or agreement with respect to any material acquisition of other businesses, services, products, or technologies.
We may not be able to adapt as the Internet market changes.
Our failure to respond in a timely manner to changing market conditions or client requirements could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition, and results of operations. The Internet is characterized by:
$
rapid technological change;
$
changes in advertiser and user requirements and preferences;
$
frequent new product and service introductions embodying new technologies; and
$
the emergence of new industry standards and practices that could render our existing service offerings, technology, and hardware and software infrastructure obsolete.
In order to compete successfully in the future, we must:
$
enhance our existing products and develop new services and technology that address the increasingly sophisticated and varied needs of our prospective or current customers;
$
license, develop or acquire technologies useful in our business on a timely basis; and
$
respond to technological advances and emerging industry standards and practices on a cost-effective and timely basis.
Our future success depends on continued growth in the use of the Internet and Internet-based services for small business.
Because the Internet is a rapidly evolving industry, the ultimate demand and market acceptance for our products will be subject to a high level of uncertainty. Significant issues concerning the commercial use of the Internet and online service technologies, including security, reliability, cost, ease of use, and quality of service, remain unresolved and may inhibit the growth of Internet business solutions that use these technologies. In addition, the Internet or other online services could lose their viability due to delays in the development or adoption of new standards and protocols required to handle increased levels of Internet activity, or due to increased governmental regulation.
22
Regulation of the Internet and Internet-based services may decrease the demand for our services and/or increase our cost of doing business.
Due to the increasing popularity and use of the Internet and online services, federal, state, local, and foreign governments may adopt laws and regulations, or amend existing laws and regulations, with respect to the Internet and other online services. These laws and regulations may affect issues such as user privacy, pricing, content, taxation, copyrights, distribution, and quality of products and services. Any new legislation could hinder the growth in use of the Internet generally or in our industry and could impose additional burdens on companies conducting business online, which could, in turn, decrease the demand for our services, increase our cost of doing business. The laws governing the Internet remain largely unsettled, even in areas where legislation has been enacted. It may take years to determine whether and how existing laws, such as those governing intellectual property, privacy, libel, and taxation, apply to the Internet. In addition, the growth and development of the market for electronic commerce may prompt calls for more stringent consumer protection laws, both in the United States and abroad, that may impose additional burdens on companies conducting business via the Internet.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
On January 22, 2008 we issued 75,000 shares of common stock to Brent Allsop upon exercise of options to purchase 50,000 shares at $0.07 and 25,000 shares at $0.048. The options were granted under our Incentive Stock Option Plan. We relied on an exemption from registration for a private transaction not involving a public distribution provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.
