Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant

 

On February 11, 2005, Webb Interactive Services, Inc. (“Webb”) notified Ernst & Young LLP, Webb’s former public accounting firm, that Webb had received a proposal from Ehrhardt Keefe Steiner & Hottman PC (“EKS&H”) to serve as Webb’s independent registered public accounting firm and Ernst & Young LLP advised Webb that it declined to stand for re-appointment. On February 11, 2005, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of Webb voted to retain EKS&H as Webb’s independent registered public accounting firm to audit Webb’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2004.

 

During Webb’s two most recent fiscal years, the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and the subsequent interim period ended February 10, 2005, Webb (i) did not engage EKS&H to act as either the principal accountant to audit Webb’s financial statements or as an independent accountant to audit a significant subsidiary of Webb; (ii) did not consult with EKS&H on the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on Webb’s financial statements; and (iii) did not consult with EKS&H on any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement or a reportable event, as those terms are defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-B and the related instruction to Item 304 of Regulation S-B.

 

During the two fiscal years ended December 31, 2003, the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and the subsequent interim period ended February 10, 2005, there were no disagreements with Ernst & Young LLP on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Ernst & Young LLP, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its reports. Furthermore, Ernst & Young LLP’s audit reports for the two most recently completed fiscal years did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. In addition, during the Company’s two most recent fiscal years and through the issuance of Webb’s quarterly report for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and the subsequent interim period ended February 10, 2005, no reportable events, as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv)(B) of Regulation S-B, occurred.

 

A letter from Ernst & Young LLP regarding its concurrence with these statements is attached hereto as Exhibit 16.1.

 

On February 11, 2005, Webb issued a press release to report that it had retained EKS&H as its independent registered public accounting firm. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
