The form 990 is reviewed by the president. Changes, if required, arecommunicated to the accounting firm responsible for preparation of the formand are incorporated into the final form before filing.

Form 990, Part VI, Line 12C: Explanation of Monitoring and Enforcement of Conflicts

1. Wb has a conflicts of interest provision in its bylaws and alsomaintains a separate conflicts of interest policy that applies to its boardof directors and key employee. Wb does monitor any conflicts that mayexist between its directors and wb.2. Directors are required to disclose any conflicts of interest that mayexist with wb. At this time, none of the directors have any conflicts ofinterest with wb.3. Wb does not have a written questionnaire or other formal writtenprocess for the disclosure of conflicts of interest. Given the small sizeof the organization and its board of directors, the disclosure of conflictsare handled on a more informal basis, i.e., directors are asked to discloseany conflicts to wb and at meetings of the board of directors. As notedabove, at this time, there are no conflicts that have been disclosed to wb.4. Wb has not been involved in a situation where any of is directors havehad a conflict of interest with respect to a matter that has been presentedto the board of directors for consideration and approval. However,consistent with the bylaws provision and the existing conflicts of interestpolicy, should a conflict of interest arise with respect to any directorand a matter being considered by the board, the director would be requiredto recuse himself/herself from participation in any discussion and vote onthe matter consistent with california law and reasonable governancepractices.
