Pacific WebWorks Provides Update

Pacific WebWorks, Inc. (OTCBB: PWEBe) today announced that the Company expects to be temporarily delisted from the OTCBB. The delisting follows a series of delays the Company has encountered in filing its Form 10-K for December 31, 2010.

As reported to the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) in Form 8-K’s in April 2011, the Company’s independent auditors for many years, Chisholm, Bierwolf, Nilson & Morrill, LLC (“CBNM”) were dismissed in January 2011 and their registration with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) has subsequently been revoked. The Company has since engaged HJ & Associates, LLC as their independent registered public accounting firm.

On April 21, 2011 Pacific WebWorks was notified by the SEC that as a result of the April 8, 2011 revocation by the PCAOB of CBNM’s registration, the Company would be required to re-audit PWEB’s December 31, 2009 financial statements, along with finalizing the audit of the December 31, 2010 financial statements before the 10-K for December 31, 2010 could be filed. After making every effort, we now recognize that these requirements have made it impossible for PWEB to meet the OTCBB-imposed deadlines for filing the Company 10-K to avoid delisting.

The company also announced the hiring of Tanner Purser as its in-house accountant. Mr. Purser has several years' experience as an accountant and an independent auditor and is a candidate for a Masters of Accountancy from Westminster College in Salt Lake City, Utah, with graduation expected in May 2011.

Additionally, the Company announced that Christian R. Larsen has stepped down as President and Secretary of the Company to pursue other business opportunities, but will remain involved with the Company as a member of the board of directors and a significant shareholder. The Company also announced the appointment of K. Lance Bell as the new President, Secretary and Chief Financial Officer. Lance will also fill the vacant seat on the Company’s board of directors.

Mr. Bell holds an MBA from the Goizueta Business School at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia. Additionally, he has an accomplished 13-year career in IT Services, including significant domestic and international architecture and operations management. Most recently, Mr. Bell filled the role of Sr. Director of Information Technology for a Consulting and Managed Services Firm of just over 600 employees.

Ken Bell, company CEO, stated, “The name Chris Larsen has been synonymous with Pacific WebWorks since its very beginnings. Chris’ contribution to the Company has been immeasurable. While we respect his desire to move on to other opportunities and challenges, we will miss his involvement in our daily operations. We are pleased that Chris will remain a member of our board of directors. His overall knowledge and business acumen will be important to our continued success.”

Bell continued, “After a careful review of candidates it has been determined that my son, Lance Bell, is best suited to become Pacific WebWorks’ next President. The Company is pleased to announce the hiring of an individual with Lance’s capabilities. We envision Lance providing the Company with a great deal of leadership as we seek to broaden our Company's business lines moving forward. His extensive contacts, domestic and international experience, management and business expertise will be a valuable component to our future success. Further, we believe the combined knowledge and experience of Lance and Tanner will facilitate the accurate and timely filing of our future financial reports.”

Bell concluded, “The financial condition of the company remains strong. We continue to have a base of loyal customers in the existing business and look forward to adding additional sources of business and income in the near future. We are going through many changes at Pacific WebWorks that we believe will pave the way to a successful future for the Company and our shareholders.”
