PART I
Item 1. Description of Business.
OVERVIEW
Founded in 1995, the business of Wizzard Software Corporation, a Colorado corporation ("Wizzard," "we," "our" or "us" or words of similar import), includes software and hardware products and services that focus on speech recognition and text-to-speech technology.
Speech recognition is used for three basic things: 1) It allows humans to talk commands to a computer (directly to a PC, in a car, over a phone system, etc.) and have those commands executed. For example, you can say, "open my email" to your PC, "give me directions to McDonalds" to your car, or "order a pay per view movie" in response to questions being asked by a telephone answering system. 2) In addition to commands, speech recognition allows for fast, accurate transcription of the spoken word. Examples include: a doctor dictating patient notes, a nurse calling in updates on a home health visit, a lawyer dictating briefs. 3) The third most common use for speech recognition, and one that Management believes has the most potential for Wizzard, is speech recognition's ability to turn audio into text. For example, a conference call can be recorded and then sent through a speech recognition engines and a transcri pt of the call will now be available for notes, for others to read, etc. Another example, and an area of great interest to Wizzard, is turning audio and video "podcasts" into text. Once completed, this will allow consumers, advertisers and others to search and locate information inside an audio or video file on the internet.
Text-To-Speech technology is basically the opposite of speech recognition. It is the ability for a computer, ATM machine, your car, etc, to talk in a human sounding synthetic voice. This technology can be used in things such as flight simulators, allowing for interaction between a trainee and a simulated air traffic controller. It is also used in ATM machines for the visually impaired. Another use for text-to-speech “TTS”, and one Management believes has the most immediate potential for Wizzard, is in its ability to turn text, found on the internet, into audio recordings that can then be downloaded and listened to while commuting, working out, sitting on the beach, etc.
Wizzard provides software programming tools and services which allow companies to incorporate speech technology into their products and services. We offer speech technology software programming tools and speech engines from AT&T and IBM for which we receive a royalty for each licensed copy of these engines distributed with our customer's products and services.
Our speech based products and services include:
Podcasting Hosting - We entered the podcasting industry in July 2006, through the acquisition of Switchpod.com and two months later, through the acquisition of Blastpodcast.com. In March, 2007, we closed our acquisition of Liberated Syndication (Webmayhem, Inc.), the largest podcast hosting company in the world. We currently distribute over 2.75 million podcast downloads a day and are working to incorporate our speech technology into the hosting system so that the audio and video used in podcasting can be turned into text for various uses including highly targeted advertising.
Speech Tools - Wizzard's proprietary VoiceTools are programming tools for software developers to incorporate the speech technology of their choice into their products and services in a fast, efficient and inexpensive manner. VoiceTools have been distributed over 100,000 times since their creation in 2000. In addition to our own marketing efforts, IBM promotes our VoiceTools on their website through a linking agreement with Wizzard. Wizzard also markets IBM and AT&T developer tools through agreements with those companies and receives a portion of the licensing fees collected.
Speech Engines - Wizzard offers Text-To-Speech Engines from IBM and AT&T to software developers and businesses around the world, as well as speech recognition engines from IBM. Wizzard receives payments for each copy/license distributed by its customers and in turn, pays a percentage of that payment to IBM or AT&T.
Speech Services - Wizzard provides support, customized programming and other speech related services to businesses and software programmers worldwide. These services compliment Wizzard's Voice Tools and other programming-oriented product lines and assist in putting the speech engines Wizzard distributes for IBM and AT&T into customers' products, resulting in royalty payments for each copy/license distributed by the customer.
Home Healthcare Services - Interim HealthCare of Wyoming is a state licensed and Medicare certified home health agency. In addition, Interim HealthCare of Wyoming provides temporary staffing of healthcare professionals to facilities across the state of Wyoming and Montana. Wizzard plans to increase worker productivity and provide better home health services through the use of
speech technologies such as medical transcription. Currently, the healthcare industry is the largest consumer of speech technologies in the U.S.
Our principal executive offices consist of approximately 3,100 square feet of office space located at 5001 Baum Boulevard, Suite 770, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15213. Our telephone number is (412) 621-0902. We also maintain an office in Casper, Wyoming and Billings, Montana for our Home Health Services. We have sales representatives located in New York, Florida, New Jersey, Los Angeles and Detroit and a total of 50 full-time and 120 part-time employees.
BUSINESS
Our core business has been, and remains, focused around the many aspects of speech technology. We offer companies the products, tools and services to incorporate speech technology into their products and services. Through acquisitions, we also offer speech based products and services directly to consumers. Below is a detailed description of our podcasting business and how we see speech recognition having an impact.
Podcasting -
In late 2005 Wizzard's Speech Technology Group began to receive reverse inquires regarding our ability to turn text based blog into an audio so that bloggers may create a podcast to be downloaded by their subscribers. We also began receiving inquiries by podcasters for transcriptions services. These specific types of inquiry became voluminous enough for us to investigate the podcasting industry and how we could capitalize on this growing customer demand.
Podcasts are audio and video "shows" created by all types of people on standard personal computers. Currently, podcasts are 80% audio and 20% video and are similar in format to a radio or TV show. These shows average twenty minutes in length and range in topics from comedy to sports to fashion. Due to the thousands of different niche topics, podcasting’s ability to reach highly targeted audiences is a very appealing proposition for both national and local advertisers. They can be subscribed to for free and accessed through new media aggregators such as Apple's popular iTunes. Podcasts are listened to or watched on Apple’s iPod along with almost any MP3 player, Sony’s PlayStation Portable, many new cell phones, Tivo units, and can also be played online using a standard PC. Every time a new episode is released from the podcast creator (approximately three times per month), it is automatically downloaded to a su bscriber’s computer and can be transferred over to an iPod or MP3 player with ease. Podcasts provide a new and exciting medium for information and entertainment distribution. Podcasts are enjoyed by consumers around the world while at their computer, exercising, on flights, at the beach, in their cars, or on the subway and with the introduction of Apple TV, sitting at home in their living room. One of the biggest reasons for the success of podcasting is due to the fact that, unlike traditional radio and television, consumers can enjoy podcast shows where they want, when they want, putting the control of media consumption into the consumer’s hands.
It soon became apparent to Management that both TTS and Speech Recognition, could and would play a major role in the success of online “new media” and podcasting. Wizzard decided to respond to these continuing daily inquiries from bloggers and online newspaper web sites by leveraging our high quality AT&T Natural Voices and IBM ViaVoice portfolio speech offerings. Wizzard has never come across an industry where our technology and expertise can have such a direct impact on the bottom line as with podcasting.
In mid 2006 Wizzard began an acquisition strategy to enter the podcasting industry which began with Switchpod.com, included Blastpodcast.com and peaked in early 2007 with the acquisition of Libsyn.com. All three of these companies provide podcast hosting services. When one creates a podcast, they upload it on the internet to a host, who creates an individual RSS feed and then continuously broadcasts the show out to anyone who subscribes. Podcast hosts also maintain viewer statistics, blogs, web pages and a host of other tools and services for podcasters to broadcast, manage and promote their shows. Wizzard’s management chose podcast hosting as the entry point for its new venture based on several factors: 1) consistent interaction with the podcasters, 2) accurate download statistics - important to advertisers, 3) the insertion point for advertising into the RSS feeds, 4) hosting of podcast files for speech recognition purpo ses 5) hosting capabilities and expertise for other speech recognition and text to speech services not associated with podcasting.
Wizzard Media is the newly launched division for our new media business. Wizzard Media is focused on the podcasting industry and how speech technology, when incorporated into the podcasting mix, can have a significant impact on the industry while creating important opportunities for the monetization of podcasting content. As the world's largest podcasting network, Wizzard Media currently broadcasts over ninety million (90M) podcast shows each month and is growing at a monthly rate of over 10% per month. The Wizzard Media Network received over 1 billion download requests in 2007. With the recently launched iPod Touch and an improved Apple TV and iPhone, we expect podcasting to continue to grow at the same rate for some time to come.
Approximately one third of the Top 25 ranked podcasts in their respective categories in iTunes were hosted by Wizzard Media in 2007. We broadcast over 2.75 million podcast episodes per day for 8,000 unique podcast shows with a total of over fifteen million (15M) hours of monthly programming. These podcasts are consumed by millions of people around the world creating what management believes to be a very compelling platform for brand advertisers. We strongly believe that Wizzard Media is uniquely positioned to capture a significant portion of total advertising spending on podcasts as we offer a rich inventory of popular content, strong consumption statistics and geographically and keyword targeted advertising capabilities. While there can be no future pricing guarantees, the podcasting industry is currently charging, and plans to continue to charge, between $.03 and $.05 per downloaded ad. The ads tend to be no lon ger than 15 seconds and several ads can be inserted in one twenty minute episode.
Today, podcasts are found by consumers in various fragmented directories based on the short description that the podcaster inputs to describe their content. In order for viewers/listeners to find podcasts that are truly interesting to them they have to sort through long lists of shows. Wizzard is working to incorporate our highly accurate, server-based speech recognition technologies into the Wizzard Media network with plans to simplify the search process by allowing audio and video podcasts to be automatically fed through its speech recognition system creating a transcript of each podcast. This feature will allow listeners to type in key words and find relevant podcasts based on the full content of each and every podcast episode.
Using our new WizzScribe speaker independent speech recognition product we can transcribe podcasts and use the resulting text to better index podcasts with popular search engines, to provide transcriptions for interested parties, to search for explicit content for compliance purposes and to assist advertisers in matching their brands with the appropriate content. With the rapid adoption of audio and video based content on the internet (Web 2.0), we see this new hosted speech recognition engine and text-to-speech service as a critical component in the monetization of audio/video businesses that are taking hold across the internet and around the world.
Wizzard Media will be the catalyst for attracting sponsors and advertising opportunities for the podcasts we currently broadcast using speech recognition to match advertisers with very specific, engaging shows, catering to a wide variety of mainstream and niche markets. Applying our geographical targeting capabilities we can find strong, relevant advertising opportunities for local businesses in addition to national brands, which is a significant revenue generating opportunity for Wizzard and for our content producers. Advertisers and consumers alike want relevant, focused advertisements, something clearly lacking in today's digital media offerings, yet can be accomplished using our combined technologies and skills. For example, if Ford Motor Company wants to advertise in all podcasts that discuss cars, a strategic search can be performed across the entire Wizzard Media Advertising Network for all podcasts that discuss relative words at any place in t he audio/video show, such as automobiles, trucks or minivans. Using our dynamic advertisement insertion technology we can insert the ad in the front, the back or even at a very specific point inside the podcast where it is most relevant to the listener. Management believes this fundamental new feature gives Wizzard Media a strong competitive advantage making it easier to attract advertisers and sponsors who want to successfully align their brand of products and services with high-value content and a targeted audience on our network. Management’s research shows that consumers don’t mind advertisements to support their favorite podcasts when those ads are interesting and relevant.
Wizzard Media is considered the de facto leader in the podcasting distribution business and as we introduce our speech technologies to our hosting services, we strongly believe we will be strategically positioned to maximize revenue generation for the shows we broadcast.
General and Administrative
In 2007, management closed a subscription agreement by which four institutional investors purchased $7.5M in convertible Series A Preferred Stock from the Company. The subscription agreement, including notes and warrants if fully exercised, will bring the aggregate gross proceeds realized to approximately $12.7M for the Company.
Research and Development
During the calendar years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company spent $210,397 and $76,150, respectively, on research and development.
Necessary Material
Beyond basic materials such as CD-ROMs, jewel cases that hold the CD-ROMs and printing, which are all readily available from multiple sources, we depend upon two speech recognition companies to license us their speech recognition engines. It is these engines upon which we create our applications. We do not foresee any difficulty in continuing to license these engines, due to the competitive market between their manufacturers.
Licenses
We have the following licenses, which are integral to our business operations:
·
IBM ViaVoice speech recognition and text-to-speech engines; and
·
AT&T Natural Voices text-to-speech engine.
Patents Pending- None
Environmental Compliance
We do not believe that there are any material laws, rules or regulations regarding environmental concerns that are applicable to our present or intended business operations.
Governmental Regulations
We do not believe that there are any material laws, rules or regulations regarding governmental concerns that are applicable to our present or intended business operations.
Employees
Currently, we have 50 full time employees and 120 part time employees who spend a significant amount of their time working for Wizzard.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
Risks Relating to Our Business
Our present and intended business operations are highly speculative and involve substantial risks. Only investors who can bear the risk of losing their entire investment should consider buying our shares. Among the risk factors that you should consider are the following:
We have a history of losses and expect to incur losses in the future, and we may never achieve profitability.
Wizzard's net loss was $10,169,070, or $0.25 per share and $4,793,723, or $0.14 per share, for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Wizzard's net loss available to common shareholders was $17,930,615, or $0.44 per share and $4,793,723, or
$0.14 per share, for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Because we need to establish our brand and services, we expect to incur increasing sales and marketing, product development and administrative expenses, and as a result, we will need to generate significant revenues to achieve and maintain profitability. We cannot assure you that we will ever be able to operate profitably.
We face a higher risk of failure because we cannot accurately forecast our future revenues and operating results.
The rapidly changing nature of the markets in which we compete make it difficult to accurately forecast our revenues and operating results. Furthermore, we expect our revenues and operating results to fluctuate in the future due to a number of factors, including the following:
•
the timing of sales of our products and services;
•
the timing of product implementation, particularly large design projects;
•
unexpected delays in introducing new products and services;
•
increased expenses, whether related to sales and marketing, product development, or administration;
•
the mix of product license and services revenue; and
•
costs related to possible acquisitions of technology or businesses.
We face a higher risk of failure because the podcasting and voice-recognition businesses are in their infancy.
We face the difficulties frequently encountered by companies in the early stage of development in new and evolving markets. These potential difficulties include the following:
•
substantial delays and expenses related to testing and developing of our new products;
•
successfully establishing podcasting as a large-scale advertising medium;
•
marketing and distribution problems with new and existing products and technologies;
•
competition from larger and more established companies;
•
delays in reaching our marketing goals;
•
difficulty in recruiting qualified employees for management and other positions;
•
our lack of sufficient customers, revenues and cash flow; and
•
our limited financial resources.
We may continue to face these and other difficulties in the future. Some of these problems may be beyond our control. If we are unable to successfully address them, our business will suffer.
If we cannot show that our speech recognition technologies are commercially viable, our business may fail.
Wizzard, in assessing its future potential, places great importance on the successful development of its speech recognition programming tools, services, and other speech recognition application technologies. These technologies are still in their early stages. They have only recently become marketable and have been made generally available only in their intended market. We have not yet demonstrated that our products can attract sufficient commercial interest or, if they do, that we can market them successfully. Competitors with far greater financial resources than we have may create and market competing products. If management's expectations for our products do not materialize for any reason, our overall expectations will be seriously compromised.
If we do not achieve the brand recognition necessary to succeed in the podcasting and speech recognition technology markets, we will not be able to compete.
We must build our Wizzard brand to gain market acceptance for our podcasting services, speech recognition programming tools, and other speech recognition products and services. We believe that our long-term success will require that we obtain significant market share for our products and services before other competitors enter the market. We must spend large amounts on product development, strategic relationships and marketing initiatives in order to establish brand awareness. We cannot be certain that we will have enough resources to build our brand and to obtain commercial acceptance of our products and services. If we do not gain market acceptance for our podcasting services, as a large-scale advertising medium, speech recognition programming tools, and related speech recognition products and services, we will not be able to compete in those industries.
We are exposed to the business risks inherent in the podcasting industry.
With our recent entry into the podcasting industry, we have exposed our company to the risks of entities operating within that industry. The podcasting industry is in its infancy and our operations in this area may prove to be unprofitable.
Our expansion plans may not be cost-effective.
We have pursued, and may continue to pursue, strategic alliances with new or complementary businesses in an effort to enter into new business areas, diversify our sources of revenue and expand our speech recognition applications products and services. If we pursue strategic alliances with new or complementary businesses, we may not be able to expand our product or service offerings and related operations in a cost-effective or timely way. We may experience increased costs, delays and diversions of management's attention when beginning any new businesses or services. Also, any new business or service that users do not favorably receive could damage our reputation and brand name in the speech recognition applications technology markets. We also cannot be certain that we will obtain enough revenues from any expanded products or services to offset related costs. Any expansion of our operations may require additional expenses. These efforts may strain our management, financial and operational resources.
Our limited resources may make it harder for us to manage growth.
We have a limited basis upon which to evaluate our systems' ability to handle controlled or full commercial availability of our products and services. We anticipate that we will expand our operations significantly in the near future, and we will have to expand further to address the anticipated growth in our user base and market opportunities. To manage the expected growth of operations and personnel, we will need to improve existing systems, and implement new systems, procedures and controls. In addition, we will need to expand, train and manage an increasing employee base. We will also need to expand our finance, administrative and operations staff. We may not be able to effectively manage this growth. Our planned expansion in the near future will place, and we expect our future expansion to continue to place, a significant strain on our managerial, operational and financial resources. Our planned personnel, systems, procedures and controls may be inadequate to support our future operations. If we can not manage growth effectively or if we experience disruptions during our expansion, the expansion may not be cost-effective.
If we become unable to obtain component products from our vendors, our sales may not be able to keep up with demand.
We purchase major components of our products from outside suppliers. At any given time we may find ourselves unable to obtain those components, which could prevent us from meeting customer demand.
If we can not compete successfully, we may have to go out of business.
The market for computer software, and specifically speech recognition technology products and services is highly competitive. Current competitors include Nuance, Loquendo and Fonix. In addition, competitors may be developing speech recognition products and services that we may not be aware of. Many of our current and potential competitors have much greater financial, technical, marketing, distribution and other resources. They also have greater name recognition and market presence, longer operating histories and lower cost structures than we have. As a result, they may be able to adapt more quickly to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements. Our ability to compete successfully in the rapidly evolving speech recognition market will depend upon certain factors, many of which are beyond our control and that may affect our ability to compete successfully.
We may also face competition from a number of indirect competitors that specialize in electronic commerce and other companies with substantial customer bases in the computer field and other technical fields. Additionally, companies that control access to transactions through a network or Web browser could promote our competitors or charge us a substantial fee for similar access or promotion. Our competitors may also be acquired by, receive investments from or enter into other commercial relationships with larger, better-established and better-financed companies as use of speech recognition products and services increases.
We may be unable to compete successfully against current and potential competitors, and the competitive pressures we face could cause our business to fail.
Our business would be seriously impaired if our rights in our technology were compromised in any way.
Wizzard licenses the speech recognition engines upon which its products operate from AT&T and IBM. We rely on non-disclosure, confidentiality and non-competition agreements with our employees to protect many of our rights in our technology. If our employees breach these agreements, we may incur significant expenses to enforce our contractual restrictions and protect our rights. Management believes that Wizzard has proprietary rights to its products, including copyright and trademark protection that will discourage others
from replicating our products. However, we have no opinions from independent intellectual property counsel that the copyrights and trademarks are valid or, if valid, that their issuance, together with such other proprietary rights that we own will be sufficient to protect us from those who would try to capitalize on our success through imitation. Our business plan and strategy are to commercialize various speech recognition application technologies. Termination of our relationship by our licensors of speech recognition engines for any reason, or unauthorized disclosure of our application technologies to third parties, would cause serious harm to our business, financial position and results of operations.
We depend on two primary suppliers for software integrated into our system, and the loss of any could prevent us from making our products.
IBM and AT&T supply the primary speech recognition engines that are used with our products. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to continue to license these speech recognition engines after the current licenses expire or that alternative speech recognition engines appropriate for use with our products will be available at that time. If we can not retain these or comparable licenses, we may be unable to produce our products.
Any unintentional infringement on the proprietary rights of others could be expensive and could cut our revenues.
Many software companies bring lawsuits alleging violation of intellectual property rights. In addition, a large number of patents have been awarded in the voice-recognition area. Although we do not believe that we are infringing any patent rights, patent holders may claim that we are doing so. Any such claim would likely be time-consuming and expensive to defend, particularly if we are unsuccessful, and could prevent us from selling products or services. We may also be forced to enter into costly and burdensome royalty and licensing agreements.
If we do not respond effectively to technological change, our products and services could become obsolete.
The development of our products and services and other technology entails significant technical and business risks. To remain competitive, we must continue to improve our products' responsiveness, functionality and features.
High technology industries are characterized by:
•
rapid technological change;
•
changes in user and customer requirements and preferences;
•
frequent new product and services introductions embodying new technologies; and
•
the emergence of new industry standards and practices.
The evolving nature of the Internet could render our existing technology and systems obsolete. Our success will depend, in part, on our ability to:
•
license or acquire leading technologies useful in our business;
•
develop new services and technologies that address our users' increasingly sophisticated and varied needs; and
•
respond to technological advances and emerging industry and regulatory standards and practices in a cost-effective and timely way.
Future advances in technology may not be beneficial to, or compatible with, our business. Furthermore, we may not use new technologies effectively or adapt our technology and systems to user requirements or emerging industry standards in a timely way. In order to stay technologically competitive, we may have to spend large amounts of money and time. If we do not adapt to changing market conditions or user requirements in a timely way, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be seriously harmed.
If we fail to develop new products, or if we incur unexpected expenses or delays in product development, we may lose our competitive position.
Although we currently have fully developed products available for sale, we are also developing various products and technologies that we will rely on to remain competitive. Due to the risks in developing new products and technologies, limited financing, competition, obsolescence, loss of key personnel and other factors, we may fail to develop these technologies and products, or we may
experience lengthy and costly delays in doing so. Although we may be able to license some of our technologies in their current stage of development, we cannot assure you that we will be able to do so.
We could incur significant expenses if our technologies and products contain defects.
Voice-recognition products are not currently accurate in every instance, and may never be. We could inadvertently release products and technologies that contain defects. Third-party technology that we include in our products could contain defects. Even though our licensing agreement with users contains language that is intended to protect us from liability for defects, clients who are not satisfied with our products or services could bring claims against us for substantial damages. These claims could cause us to incur significant legal expenses and, if successful, could result in the claimants being awarded significant damages.
Any changes in reimbursement levels under Medicare, Medicaid or insurance reimbursement programs and any changes in applicable government regulations could have a material adverse effect on Wizzard's net revenues.
As managed care assumes an increasingly significant role in markets in which Wizzard operates, Wizzard's success will, in part, depend on retaining and obtaining managed care contracts. There can be no assurance that we will retain or continue to obtain such managed care contracts. In addition, reimbursement rates under managed care contracts are likely to continue experiencing downward pressure as a result of payers' efforts to contain or reduce the costs of health care by increasing case management review of services and negotiating reduced contract pricing. Therefore, even if we are successful in retaining and obtaining managed care contracts, unless we also decrease our cost for providing services and increases higher margin services, we will experience declining profit margins.
Wizzard is subject to extensive and frequently changing federal, state and local regulation. In addition, new laws and regulations are adopted periodically to regulate new and existing products and services in the health care industry. Changes in laws or regulations or new interpretations of existing laws or regulations can have a dramatic effect on operating methods, costs and reimbursement amounts provided by government and other third-party payers. Federal laws governing our activities include regulations related to Medicare reimbursement and certification and certain financial relationships with physicians and other health care providers. Although Wizzard intends to comply with all applicable fraud and abuse laws, there can be no assurance that administrative or judicial interpretation of existing laws or regulations or enactments of new laws or regulations will not have a material adverse effect on the its business. Wizzard is subject to state laws governing Medic aid, professional training, licensure, financial relationships with physicians and the dispensing and storage of pharmaceuticals. The facilities operated by Wizzard must comply with all applicable laws, regulations and licensing standards. In addition, many of our employees must maintain licenses to provide some of the services that we offer. There can be no assurance that federal, state or local governments will not change existing standards or impose additional standards. Any failure to comply with existing or future standards could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition or prospects.
If we lose our key personnel or are unable to hire additional personnel, we will have trouble growing our business.
We depend to a large extent on the abilities of our key management and technical personnel, in particular Christopher J. Spencer, our Chief Executive Officer and President, and Armen Geronian, our Chief Technical Officer. The loss of any key employee or our inability to attract or retain other qualified employees could seriously impair our results of operations and financial condition.
Our future success depends on our ability to attract, retain and motivate highly skilled technical, marketing, management, accounting and administrative personnel. We plan to hire additional personnel in all areas of our business. Competition for qualified personnel is intense. As a result, we may be unable to attract and retain qualified personnel. We may also be unable to retain the employees that we currently employ or to attract additional technical personnel. The failure to retain and attract the necessary personnel could seriously harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.
System and online security failures could harm our business and operating results.
The operation of our business depends on the efficient and uninterrupted operation of our computer and communications hardware systems. Our systems and operations will be vulnerable to damage or interruption from many sources, including fire, flood, power loss, telecommunications failure, break-ins, earthquakes and similar events. Our servers will also be vulnerable to computer viruses, physical or electronic break-ins and similar disruptions. Any substantial interruptions in the future could result in the loss of data and could destroy our ability to generate revenues from operations.
The secure transmission of confidential information over public networks is a significant barrier to electronic commerce and communications. Anyone who can circumvent our security measures could misappropriate confidential information or cause interruptions in our operations. We may have to spend large amounts of money and other resources to protect against potential security breaches or to alleviate problems caused by any breach.
Our operating results could be impaired if we become subject to burdensome government regulation and legal uncertainties.
We are not currently subject to direct regulation by any domestic or foreign governmental agency, other than regulations applicable to businesses generally. However, due to the increasing popularity and use of the Internet, it is possible that a number of laws and regulations may be adopted with respect to the Internet, relating to:
•
user privacy;
•
pricing;
•
content;
•
copyrights;
•
distribution; and
•
characteristics and quality of products and services.
The adoption of any additional laws or regulations may decrease the expansion of the Internet. A decline in the growth of the Internet could decrease demand for our products and services and increase our cost of doing business. Moreover, the applicability of existing laws to the Internet is uncertain with regard to many issues, including property ownership, export of specialized technology, libel and personal privacy. Our business, financial condition and results of operations could be seriously harmed by any new legislation or regulation. The application of laws and regulations from jurisdictions whose laws do not currently apply to our business, or the application of existing laws and regulations to the Internet and other online services could also harm our business.
We plan to offer our speech recognition products over the Internet in multiple states and foreign countries. These jurisdictions may claim that we are required to qualify to do business as a foreign corporation in each state or foreign country. Our failure to qualify as a foreign corporation in a jurisdiction where we are required to do so could subject us to taxes and penalties. Other states and foreign countries may also attempt to regulate our business or prosecute us for violations of their laws. Further, we might unintentionally violate the laws of foreign jurisdictions and those laws may be modified and new laws may be enacted in the future.
Our industry is experiencing consolidation that may intensify competition.
The Internet industry has experienced substantial consolidation. We expect this consolidation to continue. Acquisitions could harm us in a number of ways. For example:
•
a competitor could be acquired by a party with significant resources and experience that could increase the ability of the competitor to compete with our products and services; and
•
other companies with related interests could combine to form new, formidable competition, which could preclude us from obtaining access to certain markets or content, or which could dramatically change the market for our products and services.
There Are Substantial Risks Related to Our Common Stock and Management's Percentage of Ownership of Our Common Stock
Due to the instability in our common stock price, you may not be able to sell your shares at a profit.
The public market for our common stock is limited and volatile. As with the market for many other companies in new and emerging industries, any market price for our shares is likely to continue to be very volatile. In addition, the other risk factors disclosed in this prospectus may significantly affect our stock price. The historical volatility of our stock price may make it more difficult for you to resell shares when you want at prices you find attractive.
In addition, the stock market in general and the market for Internet and technology companies in particular, have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of these companies. These broad market and industry factors may reduce our stock price, regardless of our operating performance.
Because our common stock is "penny stock," you may have greater difficulty selling your shares.
Our common stock is “penny stock” as defined in Rule 3a51-1 of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Section 15(g) of the Exchange Act and Rule 15g-2 of the Securities and Exchange Commission require broker/dealers dealing in penny stocks to provide potential investors with a document disclosing the risks of penny stocks and to obtain a manually signed and dated written receipt of the document before making any transaction in a penny stock for the investor's account. In addition, Rule 15g-9 of the Securities and Exchange Commission requires broker/dealers in penny stocks to approve the account of any investor for transactions in these stocks before selling any penny stock to that investor. Compliance with these requirements may make it harder for our selling stockholders and other stockholders to resell their shares.
The sale of already outstanding shares of our common stock could hurt our common stock market price.
The number of our shares available for resale in the public market may exceed the number of shares that purchasers wish to buy. This imbalance may place downward pressure on our stock price.
Approximately 24,192,804 shares of our common stock are presently publicly traded. This number will be increased by the 4,123,851 shares underlying the warrants, and the 2,998,536 shares that are currently issuable upon conversion of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. This potential increase in the number of shares that may be available for public trading from 24,192,807 shares to 31,315,191 shares may dramatically reduce the price of our common stock on the basis of supply and demand alone. In addition, a significant number of our other currently outstanding shares are eligible for public resale under Rule 144 of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and sales of these shares may also place downward pressure on our stock price. In May, 2004, we registered a total of 2,472,526 shares of our common stock; in August, 2005, we registered an additional 2,800,001 shares; in May, 2007 we registered an additional 3,741,250 shares; and in Augus t 2007 we registered an additional 6,658,536 shares, all on Registration Statements on Form SB-2. The sale of all or any portion of these shares may have a further negative effect on our stock price.
Item 2. Description of Property.
Wizzard's corporate offices are located at 5001 Baum Blvd., Suite 770, Pittsburgh, PA 15213. They consist of approximately 3,100 square feet of space, which is rented for $4,033 per month. The lease is currently on a month to month basis. Wizzard also maintains office in Casper, Wyoming and Billings, Montana for our Interim Healthcare operation which is rented for $4,750 and $1,350, respectively. The Casper lease is currently on a month to month basis, and the Billings location entered a 3 year lease agreement effective March 1, 2008.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings.
Wizzard is involved in routine legal and administrative proceedings and claims of various types. We have no material pending legal or administrative proceedings, other than as discussed below or ordinary routine litigation incidental to our business, to which we or any of our subsidiaries are a party or of which any property is the subject. While any proceeding or claim contains an element of uncertainty, management does not expect that any such proceeding or claim will have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial position.
One of our Home Healthcare clients has been placed on notice from the Medical Review Panel in Wyoming, which has requested the client to provide information in its discovery process. As we had provided staffing services to the client during the period of time the alleged incident happened, our client has requested information from us. We have consulted with counsel and are preparing a response. As this time, we do not believe this proceeding will have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial position.
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
During the fourth quarter of the calendar year ended December 31, 2007, we did not submit any matters to a vote of our security holders, whether through the solicitation of proxies or otherwise.

Wizzard Media - Advertising
In 2007, Wizzard executed on ten podcast advertising campaigns including our first six figure ($) campaign. In the fourth quarter of 2007 Wizzard's new technical advertising insertion system, able to handle the insertion of advertisements into audio and video podcasts with geographical targeting capabilities, was used successfully for several campaigns. Using this new system, the Wizzard Media Network had the capabilities and available inventory to deliver over one hundred million (100,000,000) advertisements in December, 2007.
Wizzard announced more than 10 million ad insertions were delivered across the network in the fourth quarter of 2007 as a result of multiple advertising campaigns. In the fourth quarter of 2007 alone, Wizzard was able to offer advertisers a catalog of more than 300 million Nielsen-certified ad opportunities using Wizzard’s unique dynamic ad insertion technology.
Month Potential ad impressions
10/01/07 118,789,270
11/01/07 129,220,048
12/01/07 137,212,313
Formula: Nielsen certified downloads x 2.5 (to take into account pre-roll and post-roll position, and 50% of all downloads capable of handling 1 mid-roll ad)
In 2007 Wizzard announced that the Company implemented Nielsen//NetRatings’ SiteCensus solution to certify publisher’s download data. Wizzard publicly calls the agreement a “landmark event” for its recently formed ad sales unit, Wizzard Media, which will now be able to use Nielsen//NetRatings data to verify the scope of audiences for participating podcasts. Management has repeatedly been told that advertisers want to see reputable, third-party measurement of podcast downloads. Measurement via Nielsen//NetRatings’ SiteCensus addresses these concerns and Management believes it will have a very positive impact on our podcast advertising sales efforts.
In 2007, Wizzard Media developed and deployed a category based system for general podcast advertising sales and the Podcaster Relations Department is currently reaching out to podcast publishers to populate the categories. Over 600 podcasters joined Wizzard’s fast-growing advertising network in 2007. All of these podcasters have agreed to allow Wizzard Media’s ad sales team to represent them to agencies and media buyers to secure advertising opportunities. Wizzard Media currently has 20 distinct ad categories with more than 450 shows available in those specific 20 categories.
In 2007, Wizzard Media launched a Research Department to collect audience statistics and other important demographic data to assist Wizzard’s ad sales team in the data driven advertising sales industry. Over 35,000 completed audience surveys have been collected to date (3/5/08). Also in 2007, Wizzard detailed plans and staffed a back-office Advertising Operations Department to handle everything from proposal tracking to campaign execution. To compliment the advertising operations department, Wizzard Media created and staffed a Podcaster Relations Department to work closely with the podcast publishers wanting to generate income through advertising. A new advertising operations system was created to increase productivity between the various teams within the advertising department.
Subsequent to December 31, 2007, Wizzard Media signed follow-up deal with its largest advertiser to date following the success of the initial campaign that was launched in November, 2007 with said advertiser, and completed in January, 2008. Management believes that there is no greater compliment from an advertiser than to come back for additional campaigns based on the success of the first one. Both deals were negotiated by Campbell-Ewald, Detroit.
Wizzard Media - Content
Wizzard's podcast hosting service grew by over 563 new shows in the fourth quarter with 41,415 new episodes added across the network (fourth quarter is historically lower factoring in the holidays (700+ new shows and 43,000 new episodes in the third quarter and 300+ new shows and 38,000 new episodes in the second quarter of 2007). With the recently launched new iPod Touch, Apple TV, iPhone and the heavy adoption of online video, we expect podcasting to continue to grow at the same annual rate for some time to come.
Liberated Syndication (Libsyn) alone grew from 4,500 podcast producers to 7,338 producers in 2007. Combined with our two other hosting services our total count of podcast producers is now close to 10,000 with over 400,000 episodes hosted.
Wizzard Media sponsored the 3rd Annual 2007 Podcast Awards at the 2007 Portable Media Expo. Exclusive Wizzard advertising partner Keith and The Girl won People's Choice Podcast Award at the 2007 Podcast Awards while Firefly Talk won Best Produced Podcast at the 2007 Podcast Awards. 15 of the 22 winners at the 2007 Podcast Awards use a Wizzard hosting solution (Libsyn, Switchpod or Blast Podcast). Out of the 220 podcast nominations spanning 22 different categories, 42% of the nominees for the 2007 Podcast Awards use a Wizzard service.
In 2007, over 35 audio and video podcasts affiliated with Wizzard Media were recognized by iTunes as the “Best of 2007”. Each of these podcasts are part of the Wizzard Media Network or have chosen one of Wizzard’s hosting partners (Libsyn, Switchpod or Blast Podcast) to provide their hosting services.
New podcasts recognized by iTunes and part of the Wizzard Media Network include:
Achievement Junkie , an inventive audio podcast dedicated to the Xbox 360; Game Theory - a compelling audio podcast by gaming experts; My Daily Phrase Italian, the ideal audio guide for learning Italian; and, iFanboy, a video podcast dedicated to comic books. Each of these podcasts historically rank in the top 100 podcasts in their respective iTunes categories.
Classic podcasts recognized by iTunes and part of the Wizzard Media Network include:
Award-winning comedy podcast, Keith and The Girl; Escape Pod, a popular sci-fi audiobook podcast which recently joined the Wizzard Media Network; cutting-edge video podcasts Joe Cartoon and Lynchland; and the ground-breaking video series and exclusive advertising publisher partner, Tiki Bar TV. These podcasts all historically rank in the top 50 podcasts in their particular iTunes categories.
In the third quarter of 2007, Wizzard signed 27 time Grammy winner Quincy Jones, singer Hilary Duff and actress Rebekah Green to exclusive advertising and marketing partnerships. Additionally, Wizzard signed Learn Spanish - Survival Guide to an exclusive advertising partnership which surpassed 2.0M download requests only one year after launch.

Wizzard Media - Press

Wizzard Media - Technology
In October, 2007, Wizzard's engineers completed the design and development of a new, highly targetable audio and video ad insertion technology. This advertising insertion system is state of the art with the ability to insert advertisements as pre-roll, post roll as well as inside the podcast itself to deliver advertisements in the traditional TV and radio formats along with the ability to target specific cities, countries or regions around the world. The stitching of the podcast files is a very complex task and management believes this new advertising insertion system gives Wizzard Media advertising sales team a substantial competitive advantage.
In 2007, Wizzard's engineers produced a speech recognition platform for podcast transcription and advertising targeting. Implementation into the entire Wizzard network will begin in the second quarter of 2008 along with the development of a front-end search engine for internal use. This system was the driving factor in Wizzard's entree into the podcasting industry. Using sophisticated speech recognition engines and complex algorithms, our team can now identify the most relevant podcasts and specific episodes for advertisers. Having the ability to drill down into a huge amount of podcasts using keyword searches allows us to provide a highly targeted advertising opportunity for marketers.

·
Launched a new podcasting discovery and destination website Wizzard.TV. Traffic to site has grown consistently over the last several months.

Began development of a back end system to support advertising inventory management, podcast relations management and advertising proposal generation.
Wizzard Media Receiver was launched in beta form for both the iPhone and Facebook platforms in the third quarter of 2007.

This application has been tested throughout the U.S. as well as Europe and continues to show great results. The launch of these applications supports Wizzard's plan to allow audiences to access their favorite podcast shows where they want, when they want and how they want.
In 2007, Wizzard also announced the latest version of the LibsynPRO 2.0 enterprise publishing service was opened to a small group of beta users. LibsynPRO is a media publishing solution for podcast networks, media companies and other businesses that need to manage multiple podcast shows under a single account. The same extensive level of scalability and 99.99% reliability continue to be the main components of the LibsynPRO system and the recently enhanced features include: detailed statistics and time-sensitive reporting, a feature rich API for developers and an elegant and easy-to-operate interface for LibsynPRO’s advertising system. Difficult tasks like content insertion can be handled quickly and easily, with the ability to schedule customized campaigns in real-time. Wizzard Media’s partnership with Nielsen//NetRatings extends into the LibsynPRO system to ensure accurate reporting for users, agencies and advertisers. LibsynPRO takes all the bes t features of the Libsyn independent publishing system and presents enhanced elements to support the demands of big business. The latest version of LibsynPRO 2.0 incorporates Wizzard Media’s one-of-a-kind dynamic advertising insertion system, which will allow for sophisticated ad campaign management to be extended to Libsyn’s high-profile corporate clients. This latest development will simplify the once complicated task of ad insertion and ad removal, and also features the added capability of scheduling real-time customized ad campaigns during natural breaks in the content, providing advertisers with even more targetability of their potential consumer base.

2. SPEECH TECHNOLOGY & SERVICES GROUP
Wizzard Software's legacy Speech Technology and Services Group sells and licenses speech programming tools, related speech products and services, and distributable speech engines in over 13 languages worldwide. Wizzard receives the majority of its sales leads through arrangements with IBM and AT&T, as well as through our own internet marketing efforts on through Google, Yahoo and other major internet search engines.
In 2007, our T&S Group achieved a 3.1% increase in revenue over 2006. For the fourth quarter of 2007, the T&S Group achieved 4.0% increase in revenue over the fourth quarter of 2006 and a 27% increase in revenue over the third quarter of 2007. T&S Group continued to focus on our core Assistive Application and Medical Dictation markets and continued to add new customers in the ATM and Simulator categories throughout 2007. Alert/broadcasting has continued to grow and additional inroads have been made with TTS in the deployment and development of dictionary and game applications. Significant prototyping activity has been accomplished in the dictation services industry using speech recognition and the protocol supportive attributes of our TTS offerings have been enhanced to support customer requests for large IVR type applications.
Management believes a shift in customer demand is underway from the purchase of stand alone speech engines to a more hosted services type offering. We believe we are well positioned to capture the growing demand for hosted speech solutions with our recently announced server based text to speech offerings as well as our server based speaker independent speech recognition products. With the recent acquisition of three hosting systems we now have the internal expertise and network platform to begin offering hosted speech services. We expect to launch these new hosted speech services in the first quarter of 2008.
The Speech Technology and Services Group's immediate focus is to increase revenue and be a preferred supplier for speech technologies to large businesses worldwide, emphasize great technologies, competitive prices, and high quality support to the speech development community and offer non-technical hosted speech conversion services to companies that have subscriber bases in fast growing market segments.
3. SPEECH GROUP - HEALTHCARE
Based in Casper, Wyoming and Billings, Montana, Interim Health Care of Wyoming has been serving its community for fifteen years and is part of the fast growing home health segment of the healthcare industry, providing a wide range of visiting nurse services to the elderly, wounded and sick. It is one of the 300 home health agencies that comprise Interim Health Care, the largest home healthcare franchise in the United States.
Both home care offices, Billings and Casper, have invested a great deal of time and effort into their respective conversions to the Interlink Software System. The process has been extremely labor intensive but has progressed to the point that it is operational in both offices. This system integrates scheduling, physician orders, employee data, billing, and payroll functions: eliminating duplicate efforts in day to day operations. Both offices have worked with Wizzard in tracking process for compliance with Sarbanes-Oxley requirements. .
Billings continues to see progressive growth in the utilization of its staffing services. Internal operations have been given greater structure. Employee hiring process and record keeping have been fine tuned. Drug screening of employees upon hire and random quarterly screening have been implemented. Home care client files have been restructured improving timely communication in the office and maintaining the access to information in the home. Promotional activities are escalating as the offices experience stability in day to day operations and as we embark on a new business in Insurance Physicals.
Our home healthcare business continues to be a strong revenue generator for our Company as our country's population ages and new methods of patient data capture become critical components for delivering high quality, affordable healthcare services in a patient's home. Although this has been a gradual process, we believe that we are building a solid business that will offer a complimentary package of new technology and traditional services. We are currently expanding our territory within the state of Wyoming as a result of the state's willingness to increase Medicaid payments by up to 30%, and we expect insurance providers within the state to follow suit. Recruiting and retaining nurses continues to be one of the biggest challenges for our home healthcare businesses and we plan to continue our aggressive marketing efforts to satisfy our customer's demands.
Branded with the name "Rex," the Talking Prescription Bottle allows end-users to "hear" medication instructions when reading a medication label is not practical or possible. There are several billion prescriptions filled each year in the U.S. and pharmaceutical errors create billions of dollars of additional medical spending with the number one error being identified as labeling problems and education. Using unique microprocessor electronics and Wizzard's advanced text-to-speech offerings, pharmacists can automatically create a "talking" label while the traditional instruction label is being printed. At the push of a button, the prescription bottle talks to the patient, telling him or her the name of the medication, the dosage the patient should consume, the frequency of administration, refill instructions, warnings and other important information necessary to educate and help people take their prescription medication properly.
In the fourth quarter of 2007, Management made the decision to stop marketing Rex to traditional pharmacies and HMO's. This decision was derived from the fact that while we still very much believe in the product and continue to see strong interest from pharmacists, doctors and patients, until Medicare and insurance companies begin to absorb the cost of the bottle for patients, it will be difficult to achieve profitability. We plan to continue to seek independent third party studies to present to Medicare and various insurance companies and work with legislators in several states that support legislation requiring pharmacies to carry assistive aid devices that help ensure patient safety. We have received attention and various levels of support from members of Congress at the Federal and State levels in conjunction with the proposed legislation in Maryland, California and continue discussions with the states of Alabama, Colorado, Connecticut, Hawaii, Ke ntucky, Louisiana, Nebraska, Ohio, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, Washington, and West Virginia. We continue to believe in the Talking Prescription Bottle as the ability of the elderly and visually impaired to fully comprehend prescription medication instructions is as necessary as ever, and as new drugs are constantly introduced to the market and increasing medication combinations make following dosage instructions critical.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Revenue Recognition - Revenue is recognized when earned. The Company's revenue recognition policies are in compliance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position ("SOP") 97-2 (as amended by SOP 98-4 and SOP 98-9) and related interpretations, "Software Revenue Recognition" and the Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 and 104.
The Company sells packaged and custom software products and related voice recognition product development consulting. Software product revenues are recognized upon shipment of the software product only if no significant Company obligations remain, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collection is received or the resulting receivable is deemed probable. Revenue from package software products are recorded when the payment has been received and the software has been shipped. Revenue is recognized, net of discount and allowances, at the time of product shipment. Revenue from non-recurring programming, engineering fees, consulting service, support arrangements and training programs are recognized when the services are provided. The Company recognizes revenue from the providing of healthcare services when the services are provided and collection is probable. The Company recognizes revenue from providing podcast hosting services when the services are provided and when collection is received.
Accounts Receivable – We evaluate the creditworthiness of our customers based on their financial information, if available, information obtained from suppliers and past experiences with customers. In some instances, we require new customers to make prepayments. Accounts receivable consist of trade receivables arising in the normal course of business. Any allowance established is subject to judgment and estimates made by management. The Company determines the allowance based on known troubled accounts, historical experience, and other currently available evidence. We established an allowance for doubtful accounts of $17,562 at December 31, 2007 and 2006.
Goodwill and Definite-life intangible assets - Goodwill represented the excess of costs over the fair value of the identifiable net assets of businesses acquired in the purchase of Interim Healthcare of Wyoming, Webmayhem Inc. and Professional Nursing Personnel Pool. See Note 5 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” for additional information regarding these acquisitions. The Company accounts for Goodwill and definite-life intangible assets in accordance with provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards "SFAS" No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets". Goodwill and intangible assets acquired in a purchase business combination and determined to have an indefinite useful life are not amortized, but instead are tested for impairment annually or on an interim basis if events or circumstances indicate that the fair value of the assets has decrease below i ts carrying value in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 142. Impairment losses arising from this impairment test, if any, are included in operating expenses in the period of impairment. SFAS No. 142 requires that definite intangible assets with estimable useful lives be amortized over their respective estimated useful lives, and reviewed for impairment in accordance with SFAS No. 144, Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.
Stock-based compensation - Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (‘‘SFAS’’) No. 123(R), ‘‘Share-Based Payment, revised 2004’’ (‘‘SFAS No. 123R’’). The Company adopted the standard by using the modified prospective method provided for under SFAS No. 123R. SFAS No. 123R, which revised SFAS No. 123, ‘‘Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation’’ (‘‘SFAS No. 123’’), requires that the cost resulting from all share-based payment transactions be measured at fair value and recognized in the financial statements. Compensation cost is recognized on a straight line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award and included in general and administrative expense. The amount of compensation cost recognized at any date is at least equal to the portion of the grant-date value of the award that is vested at that da te. For the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company recorded stock-based employee compensation expense of $435,529 and stock –based compensation expense to employee and consultants of $312,918 for options that were issued and immediately exercised. The remaining estimated pretax amortization on unvested options of approximately $27,444 will be recognized through July 2008.
Estimating the fair value of options granted requires us to utilize valuation models and to establish several underlying assumptions. The fair value of option grants was estimated using the Black-Scholes option valuation model based on the following weighted average assumptions:
| | | |
| 2007 | | 2006 |
Dividend yield | 0 % | | 0 % |
Expected life | 3 yrs | | 10 yrs |
Expected volatility | 74.3% | | 131.5% |
Risk-free interest rate | 4.7% | | 4.86% |
The risk-free interest rate is the implied yield available for zero-coupon U.S. government issues with a remaining term equal to the expected life of the options.
The expected lives of the options are determined based on the Company’s expectations of individual option holders anticipated behavior and the term of the option.
Volatility is based upon price performance of the Company over an equivalent term of the issued options to determine potential volatility of the issued options.

At December 31, 2007, the Company had working capital of $3,616,472, as compared to a working capital of $2,284,980 at December 31, 2006.

Specifically, the $6,710,000 in proceeds received from the issuance of the Series A convertible Preferred Stock, and the increase in net cash of $677,319 obtained from the issuance of common stock.
2006 compared to 2005
Current assets at December 31, 2006 included $3,056,704 in cash and accounts receivable, an increase of $1,888,048 from our cash and accounts receivable of $1,168,656 at December 31, 2005. The increase is a result of closing a $2,375,000, 5% convertible note subscription agreement on October 27, 2006.
During fiscal 2006, our operating activities used net cash of $1,430,431, as compared to $1,118,830 in net cash used by operating activities during 2005.
In 2006, depreciation and amortization expense was $71,956, which was up from $44,889 in 2005. This increase was attributed to a full year of depreciation for our Interim Healthcare of Wyoming subsidiary.
Net cash used in investing activities decreased to $59,608 in 2006, versus $496,581 in 2005. During 2005, the Company paid $480,805 and issued 221,149 common shares to acquire Interim HealthCare of Wyoming, Inc.

MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
Board of Directors
WIZZARD SOFTWARE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance to management and the Board of Directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control — Integrated Framework. Based on o ur assessment, management identified the following material weakness, as of December 31, 2007.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal controls over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Management determined that its policies and procedures to insure the accuracy of the valuation and appropriately recording of compensation for the issuance of stock based compensation and the extension of the life of warrants were inadequate to ensure the valuation and accuracy of recording compensation. As a result, the Company’s equity and net loss was understated by $ 420,138 on the statement of operations in its preliminary fiscal 2007 consolidated financial statements. The material weakness resulted in reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements would not be prevented or detected. The material misstatement resulted from not having a procedure in place to independently review the calculation of stock based compensation and the extension of warrants. During 2008, the Company has implement the control procedure to have the compensation calculation for stock based compensation and the extension of the life of warrants reviewed by an individual, with adequate accounting expertise, and independent of the preparer of the original calculation.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Board of Directors
Wizzard Software Corporation.
We have audited Wizzard Software Corporation and Subsidiaries internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, based on criteria established inInternal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the COSO criteria). Wizzard Software Corporation and Subsidiaries’ management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide 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 of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance r egarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal controls over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The following material weakness has been identified: It was determined that its policies and procedures over the recording of stock based compensation and compensation for the extension of the life of warrants were inadequate to ensure the appropriate valuation and accuracy of recording expense. As a result, misstatements existed in the Company’s equity and statement of operations in its preliminary fiscal 2007 consolidated financial statements. The material weakness resulted in reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements would not be prevented or detected.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of Wizzard Software Corporation and Subsidiaries, Inc. as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, and our report dated March 14, 2008, expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

WIZZARD SOFTWARE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization - Wizzard Software Corporation ["Parent"], a Colorado corporation, was organized on July 1, 1998. The Company operates in two industry segments, Software and Healthcare. The Software segment engages primarily in the development, sale, and service of custom and packaged computer software products, and podcast hosting and advertising services. The Healthcare segment operates primarily in the home healthcare and healthcare staffing services in Wyoming and Montana. On April 9, 2004, Parent organized Wizzard Merger Corp., a New York corporation, to acquire and dissolve into the operations of MedivoxRx Technologies, Inc., a New York corporation, in a transaction accounted for as a purchase. On September 8, 2005, Parent purchased all of the issued and outstanding shares of Interim Healthcare of Wyoming, Inc. ["Interim"], a Wyoming corporation, in a transaction accounted for as a purchase. On Februar y 27, 2007, Parent organized Wizzard Acquisition Corp., a Pennsylvania corporation, to acquire and dissolve into the operations of Webmayhem, Inc. [Libsyn], a Pennsylvania corporation, in a transaction accounted for as a purchase. Libsyn engages primarily in providing podcast hosting services. On April 3, 2007, Interim purchased the operations of Professional Personnel, Inc., d.b.a., Professional Nursing Personnel Pool [“PNPP”].
Consolidation - The financial statements presented reflect the accounts of Parent, Libsyn and Interim. Libsyn and the operations of PNPP are included from the date of purchase through December 31, 2007. All significant inter-company transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Accounting Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management made assumptions and estimates for determining reserve for accounts receivable, obsolete inventory and in determining the impairment of goodwill. Actual results could differ from those estimated by management.
Reclassification – The financial statements for the period ended prior to December 31, 2007 have been reclassified to conform to the headings and classifications used in the December 31, 2007 financial statements.
Cash and Cash Equivalents – The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity date of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. At December 31, 2007, the Company had cash balances of $5,744,793 in excess of federally insured limits.
Accounts Receivable - Accounts receivable consist of trade receivables arising in the normal course of business. At December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company has an allowance for doubtful accounts of $17,562 which reflects the Company's best estimate of probable losses inherent in the accounts receivable balance. The Company determines the allowance based on known troubled accounts, historical experience, and other currently available evidence. During the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, the Company adjusted the allowance for bad debt by $0, $(57,176) and $(58,084), respectively.
Depreciation - Depreciation of property and equipment is provided on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued
Goodwill and Definite-life intangible assets - Goodwill represented the excess of costs over the fair value of the identifiable net assets of businesses acquired. Definite-life intangible assets consist of website development cost, patents, trademarks, and trade secrets of the speech recognition software ActiveX Voice Tools, purchased in the acquisition of Speech Systems, Inc. The Company accounts for Goodwill and definite-life intangible assets in accordance with provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards "SFAS" No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets". Goodwill and intangible assets acquired in a purchase business combination and determined to have an indefinite useful life are not amortized, but instead are tested for impairment at least annually in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 142. Impairment losses arising from this impairment test, if any, are included in operating expenses in the period of impa irment. SFAS No. 142 requires that definite intangible assets with estimable useful lives be amortized over their respective estimated useful lives, and reviewed for impairment in accordance with SFAS No. 144, Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.
Software Development Costs - We account for software development costs, including costs to develop software products or the software component of products to be marketed to external users, as well as software programs to be used solely to meet our internal needs in accordance with SFAS No. 86,Accounting for Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed and Statement of Position No. 98-1,Accounting for Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use. We have determined that technological feasibility for our products to be marketed to external users was reached shortly before the release of those products. As a result, the development costs incurred after the establishment of technological feasibility and before the release of those products were not material, and accordingly, were expensed as incurred. In addition, costs incurred during the application development stage for software programs to be used solely to me et our internal needs were not material
Loss Per Share - The Company computes loss per share in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards "SFAS" No. 128 "Earnings Per Share," which requires the Company to present basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share when the effect is dilutive (see Note 12).
Income Taxes - The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." This statement requires an asset and liability approach for accounting for income taxes.(see Note 10)
Fair Value of Financial Instruments - The fair value of cash, accounts receivable, note receivable, accounts payable and notes payable are determined by reference to market data and by other valuation techniques as appropriate. Unless otherwise disclosed, the fair value of financial instruments approximates their recorded values due to their short-term maturities.
Advertising Costs - Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and amounted to $304,305, $122,341 and $122,509 for the period ending December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

WIZZARD SOFTWARE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued
Software product revenues are recognized upon shipment of the software product only if no significant Company obligations remain, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collection is received or the resulting receivable is deemed probable. Revenue from package software products are recorded when the payment has been received and the software has been shipped. Revenue is recognized, net of discount and allowances, at the time of product shipment. For packaged software products the Company offers a 30 day right of return. Provisions are recorded for returns, concessions, and bad debts and at December 31, 2007 and 2006 amounted to $0. Revenue related to obligations, which include telephone support for certain packaged products, are based on the relative fair value of each of the deliverables determined based on vendor-specific objective evidence ("VSOE") when significant. The Company VSOE is determined by the price charged when each element is sold separately. Re venue from packaged software product sales to and through distributors and resellers is recorded when payment is received and the related products are shipped. The Company's distributors or resellers do not carry packaged software product inventory and thus the Company does not offer any price protections or stock balancing rights. Revenue from non-recurring programming, engineering fees, consulting service, support arrangements and training programs are recognized when the services are provided. Such items are included in net revenues and amounted to $4,000, $ 26,974 and $16,250 at December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
Healthcare - The Company recognizes revenue from the providing of healthcare services when the services are provided and collection is probable.
Podcast Hosting – Podcast hosting services are billed on a month to month basis. The Company recognizes revenue from providing podcast hosting services when the services are provided and when collection is probable.
Podcast Advertising – The Company recognizes revenue from the insertion of advertisements in podcasts. Revenue is recognized as the podcast with the advertisement is downloaded and collection is probable.
Research and Development Cost - The Company expenses the cost of developing new products as incurred as research and product development costs, which totals $210,397, $76,150 and $69,089 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
Stock Options - The Company has stock option plans that provide for stock-based employee compensation, including the granting of stock options, to certain key employees. The plans are more fully described in Note 9. Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company applied APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”, and related Interpretations in accounting for awards made under the Company’s stock-based compensation plans. Under this method, compensation expense was recorded on the date of grant only if the current market price of the underlying stock exceeded the exercise price.
During the periods presented in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has granted options under its 2005, 2006 and 2007 defined stock option plans. The Company has adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123R using the modified-prospective transition method and the disclosures that follow are based on applying SFAS No. 123R. Under this transition method, compensation expense recognized during the twelve months ended December 31, 2006 included: (a) compensation expense for all share-based awards granted prior to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006, and (b) compensation expense for all share-based awards granted on or after January 1, 2006 through December 31, 2006. Non-cash compensation cost of $435,529 and $147,873 have been recognized for the vesting of options granted to employees and directors with an associated recognized tax benefit of $0 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Non-cash compensa tion cost of $312,918, $268,950 and $202,749 have been recognized for options issued to employee and consultants which immediately vested and were exercised with an associated recognized tax benefit of $0 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005. In accordance with the modified-prospective transition method, the Company’s financial statements for the prior year have not been restated to reflect, and do not include, the impact of SFAS 123R. Had compensation cost for the Company's stock option plans and agreements been determined based on the fair value at the grant date for awards in 2005 consistent with the provisions of SFAS No. 123R, the Company's net loss and basic net loss per common share would not have changed.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued
Recently Enacted Accounting Standards – In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Financial Interpretation No. (FIN) 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,” which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” The interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Company adopted FIN 48 beginning in fiscal year 2007 and the impact of the adoption was immaterial to the consolidated financial statements.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 does not require any new fair value measurements, but provides guidance on how to measure fair value by providing a fair value hierarchy used to classify the source of the information. SFAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. However, on February 12, 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS 157-2 which delays the effective date of SFAS 157 for all non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). This FSP partially defers the effective date of SFAS 157 to fiscal years beginning after November 1 5, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years for items within the scope of this FSP. Effective for 2008, the Company will adopt SFAS 157 except as it applies to those non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities as noted in FSP FAS 157-2. The partial adoption of SFAS 157 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, cash flows, or results of operations.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“SFAS 159”) which permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. The provisions of SFAS 159 became effective for the Company on January 1, 2008. The adoption of SFAS 159 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, cash flows, or results of operations.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141R”) and SFAS No. 160, “Accounting and Reporting of Non-controlling Interest in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB 51” (“SFAS 160”), which will change the accounting for and reporting of business combination transactions and non-controlling interests in consolidated financial statements. SFAS 141R and SFAS 160 will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS 141R and SFAS 160 on its consolidated financial position, cash flows, and results of operations.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.
None; not applicable
Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures—We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information we are required to disclose in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), such as this Annual Report on Form 10-K, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by SEC rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information we are required to disclose in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and the Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Our management evaluated, with the participation of our CEO and CFO, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2007, pursuant to paragraph (b) of Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act. This evaluation included a review of the controls’ objectives and design, the operation of the controls, and the effect of the controls on the information presented in this Annual Report. Our management, including the CEO and CFO, do not expect that disclosure controls can or will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud, if any. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide such reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives. Also, the projection of any evaluation of the disclosure controls and procedures to future periods is subject to the risk that th e disclosure controls and procedures may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Based on their review and evaluation, and subject to the inherent limitations described above, our CEO and CFO have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were effective as of December 31, 2007 at the above-described reasonable assurance level.
Internal Control over Financial Reporting—Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Because of inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even internal controls determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting is subject to various inherent limitations, including cost limitations, judgments used in decision making, assumptions about the likelihood of future events, the possibility of human error, and the risk of fraud. The projection of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods is subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with policies may deteriorate. Because of these limitations, there can be no assurance that any system of internal control over financial reporting will be successful in preventing all errors or fraud or in making all material i nformation known in a timely manner to the appropriate levels of management.
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2007 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance to management and the Board of Directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control — Integrated Framework. Based on o ur assessment, management identified the following material weakness, as of December 31, 2007.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal controls over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Management determined that its policies and procedures to insure the accuracy of the valuation and appropriately recording of compensation for the issuance of stock based compensation and the extension of the life of warrants were inadequate to ensure the valuation and accuracy of recording compensation. As a result, the Company’s equity and net loss was understated by $420,138 on the statement of operations in its preliminary fiscal 2007 consolidated financial statements. The material weakness resulted in reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements would not be prevented or detected. The m aterial misstatement resulted from not having a procedure in place to independently review the calculation of stock based compensation and the extension of warrants. During 2008, the Company has implement the control procedure to have the compensation calculation for stock based compensation and the extension of the life of warrants reviewed by an individual, with adequate accounting expertise, and independent of the preparer of the original calculation.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Board of Directors
Wizzard Software Corporation.
We have audited Wizzard Software Corporation and Subsidiaries internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, based on criteria established inInternal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the COSO criteria). Wizzard Software Corporation and Subsidiaries’ management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide 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 of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance r egarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal controls over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The following material weakness has been identified: It was determined that its policies and procedures over the recording of stock based compensation and for the extension of the life of warrants were inadequate to ensure the appropriate valuation and accuracy of recording expense. As a result, misstatements existed in the Company’s equity and statement of operations in its preliminary fiscal 2007 consolidated financial statements. The material weakness resulted in reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements would not be prevented or detected.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of Wizzard Software Corporation and Subsidiaries, Inc. as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, and our report dated March 13, 2008, expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Item 11. Executive Compensation.
Compensation Discussion and Analysis
Overview and General Philosophy
At Wizzard, our focus is to create value through advancements in the use of speech recognition software within our diverse businesses. Our executive compensation program supports this goal of value creation by:
| | | |
| • | | rewarding executives for obtaining performance milestones; |
| | | |
| • | | aligning the interests of executives with the interests of stockholders; and |
| | | |
| • | | attracting and retaining highly motivated and talented executives. |
Our compensation elements simultaneously fulfill one or more of these three objectives. The elements include:
| | | |
| • | | discretionary bonuses (in the form of cash, restricted stock, and stock options); |
The type and amount of compensation is determined considering current pay, competitive pay data from the external talent market and the opportunity for future pay. We combine compensation elements for each executive in a manner that will meet the performance, alignment and retention goals listed above as well as eliciting the best possible contribution from the executive.
Compensation Objectives
Our executive compensation philosophy is built around two objectives: supporting stockholder value creation through, aligning the interests of executives with the interests of stockholders, and attracting and retaining highly motivated and talented executives.
Due to our diverse businesses, we have determined that no specific peer group is appropriate to use in defining market pay levels for our named executives. We therefore use general industry data of companies which are a similar size to us based on market capitalization to establish market pay levels.
Obtained Performance Milestones:
| | | |
| • | | We construct our annual bonus opportunities to have appropriately aggressive targets that require significant achievement against performance milestones. |
Aligned Interests:
| | | |
| • | | Our base pay practices reduce fixed costs and emphasize performance-based incentive programs, which we believe are in the best interests of stockholders. |
| | | |
| • | | We base our annual bonus opportunities on performance milestones and value to the shareholder that focus executives on performance results that is of common interest to stockholders. |
| | | |
| • | | We award long-term equity incentive opportunities using stock options and restricted stock so that appreciating stock value is a significant factor in executive compensation. |
Executive Retention:
| | | |
| • | | We believe our use of lower base salary levels accompanied by an emphasis on incentive programs attracts executives that are appropriately aggressive, innovative, and willing to risk a larger share of their compensation on their own performance and the performance of the Company. |
| | | |
| • | | Discretionary bonuses allow us to adjust to unique market conditions in a timely fashion in order to retain key executives. |
Compensation Administration
General Process. Executive compensation decisions at Wizzard are the product of several factors, modified by judgment and discretion as necessary. The predominant factors include:
| | | |
| • | | key performance measurements such as revenue, monthly download of content, and key business developments; |
| | | |
| • | | strategic initiatives such as acquisitions, and implementation of process improvements; |
| | | |
| • | | achievement of specific operational goals relating to the sphere of influence led by the executive; |
| • | | compensation of other executives within the Company (to ensure internal equity); and |
For the CEO, these factors are judged and compensation is recommended by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors and approved by the Board. For the other executive officers (including all of the named executives in the Summary Compensation Table), the factors are considered by the CEO, who recommends compensation levels. These judgments and recommendations are then reviewed and approved or revised by the Compensation Committee.
Generally, the Compensation Committee reviews and makes adjustments to base compensation once per year, effective at the beginning of each fiscal year (January 1). Annual incentives are typically paid within two months of the fiscal year end, usually in mid-February. Equity grants are typically awarded in the spring of each year, in March or early April.
Role of Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee oversees the design, development and implementation of our compensation program. The Committee evaluates the performance of the CEO and determines CEO compensation consistent with the objectives of the compensation program. The Committee also approves all incentive compensation plans and approves or revises recommendations made by the CEO for compensation decisions affecting other executives. The Committee also approves all bonuses, awards and grants under all incentive plans.
Role of CEO. Our CEO is responsible for the implementation and administration of our compensation program throughout the organization. The CEO evaluates the performance of executives and, consistent with the objectives of the compensation program, meets with the Compensation Committee to consider and recommend compensation programs, set and evaluate performance milestone, and make specific recommendations on the form and amount of compensation for named executives.
Compensation Components
Short-Term Compensation. Consistent with our stated compensation philosophy, our key metric for executive short-term compensation is annual total cash compensation. Discretionary bonuses provide significant upside potential which results in targeted annual total cash compensation.
Our performance for fiscal 2007 was at or above targeted levels, even in a year that was very challenging. Company-wide, total revenue for the year was $5.1 million, an increase of 74% from the previous year. During 2007 the company completed two successful acquisitions, Webmayhem Inc. and Professional Nursing Personnel Pool. In July, 2007, the Company closed a subscription agreement whereby two institutional investors invested $7.5 of cash in exchange for 7,500 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. During 2007 the Company made an application for listing on the American Stock exchange and subsequent to the end of the fiscal year, the Company was accepted for listing on the American Stock Exchange.
Base Salary. We consider base salary a tool to provide executives with a reasonable base level of income relative to the scope of the positions they hold. Base salaries are established based on the level of responsibility for the position. With the exception of the CEO and named executives all base salaries are reviewed annually, and are adjusted from time to time to reflect changes in responsibility level.
In 2007, our named executives’ salaries ranged from $100,000 to $132,000. Changes in senior executive base pay during fiscal year 2007 included an increase in Mr. Spencer’s annual base pay on March 1, 2007 from $80,000 to $110,000 and on July 16, 2007 from 110,000 to 132,000; an increase in Mr. Busshaus’ annual base pay from $110,000 to $121,000 on July 16, 2007; an increase in Mr. Geronian’s annual base pay on March 1, 2007 from $50,000 to $110,000.
Annual Bonus. Currently, there is not an established annual incentive bonus plan.
Discretionary Bonuses. Because there is not an annual incentive plan, the Compensation Committee may determine a discretionary bonus is to be awarded to appropriately reward senior executives. In these cases, discretionary bonuses are used to assure that executives are appropriately rewarded. The Committee determines discretionary bonuses for the CEO. The CEO recommends discretionary bonuses for all other named executives, which are then approved or adjusted by the Committee.
In fiscal year 2007, we awarded discretionary bonuses to two named executives. As a result of Mr. Spencer’s accomplishments and advancement of the company during 2007, a discretionary bonus of $50,000 was awarded to Mr. Spencer. At Mr. Spencer’s direction, $14,810 of the bonus was forfeited and a bonus of $35,190 was paid to Mr. Spencer in February of 2008. As a result of Mr. Geronian’s continued efforts with respect to the change requirements with the software sold by the Company, a discretionary bonus of $15,754 was awarded to Mr. Geronian.
Our Compensation Committee believes that we have executed on our compensation philosophy given the level of Company performance in fiscal 2007.
Long-Term Incentive Compensation. In 2007, we offered a limited group of employees, including all named executives except for Messrs. Spencer and Geronian, stock options.
In fiscal 2008, we plan to implement a new long-term incentive design that will utilize stock options. For senior management, including named executives, the primary emphasis will be on stock option awards. This results primarily in senior management focus on stock price performance, directly aligning the interests of executives with the interests of stockholders. It also puts a higher percentage of long-term compensation at risk as the design delivers less immediate value to executives.
All stock-options granted to the named executives by the Company must have prior Compensation Committee approval. The exercise price for all stock-based awards coincides with the date the Committee approves the award grant. It is against Company policy to back-date stock-based awards or to try to time stock-based awards for any reason and we have never engaged in these practices.
Award Adjustment or Recovery. We do not have a policy to recover or otherwise adjust payments made or awards earned as a result of changes in subsequent periods relating to performance measures upon which such payments or awards are based, sometimes referred to as a “clawback” policy. We have not required any named executive to return any award or repay any payment received in any fiscal year.
Tax Deductibility of Compensation. Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, imposes a $1,000,000 limit on the amount that a public company may deduct for compensation paid to named executives unless compensation is based on an individual’s meeting pre-established performance goals determined by a compensation committee and approved by stockholders. For 2007, the annual bonuses were designed to satisfy the requirements for deductible compensation.
Retirement and Other Benefits
Generally, we view retirement savings as a personal matter. We currently do not offer any pre-tax retirement savings through the use of a traditional 401(k) plan; a deferred compensation plan or other retirement programs.
Perquisites. Eligible employees, including named executives, participate in various other employee benefit plans, including medical and dental care plans; flexible spending accounts for health care; life, accidental death and dismemberment and disability insurance; and vacation plans. The primary purpose of providing these plans and limited perquisites to senior executives is to attract and retain talented executives to manage the Company. With respect to non-insurance perquisites, we prefer to take a minimalist approach. For fiscal 2007, the Company did not have executive non-insurance perquisites.

Officers, directors, and greater than 10% stockholders are required by SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. Based solely on a review of the copies of such forms furnished to us with respect to fiscal 2007 and on representations that no other reports were required, we believe that during the 2007 fiscal year all applicable Section 16(a) filing requirements were met, with the exception of Forms 3 for Messrs. Polinsky, Yevstifeyev and Smith, of which we expect will be filed on or before March 20, 2008.

Item 4.02. Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a RelatedAudit Report or Completed Interim Review.
On March 17, 2008, the Board of Directors of Wizzard Software Corporation, a Colorado corporation (the “Company”), concluded that the Company’s financial statements for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2007; June 30, 2007; and September 30, 2007, should no longer be relied upon because of an error in such financial statements. Each of these financial statements contained a calculation error in determining the amount of non-cash expense for the extension of warrants on February 8, 2007. The effect on the financial statements was to increase interest expense and net loss by $420,138 in the period ended March 31, 2007. This increase was also reflected in the year-to-date results of the consolidated statements of operations for the periods ended June 30, 2007; and September 30, 2007. As a result of this calculation error, there was an increase in the stated net loss per share: (i) from $.0. 04 per share to $0.05 per share for the three months ended March 31, 2007; (ii) from $0.11 per share to $0.12 per share for the six months ended June 30, 2007; and (iii) from $0.35 per share to $0.36 per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The Company also reflected the non-cash effect of $7,625,417 for the fair market value of warrants and intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature in connection with the issuance of 7,500 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, and a dividend accrual, which when recalculated, increased the stated net loss per share available to common shareholder from $0.16 per share to $0.35 per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The Company’s Chief Financial Officer, John Busshaus, has discussed these matters with the Company’s independent accountant.
On March 13, 2008, Mr. Busshaus discussed these matters with the Company’s independent accountant. Mr. Busshaus and the Company’s independent accountant concluded it would be necessary to prepare restatements of the Company’s financial statements for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2007; June 30, 2007; and September 30, 2007. On the same date, the audit committee was notified of the need to prepare restatements of each of these financial statements. The reason for the restatement was discussed with the audit committee, and the committee agreed.

[Libsyn], a Pennsylvania corporation, in a transaction accounted for as a purchase. Libsyn engages primarily in providing podcast hosting services.
Consolidation - The financial statements presented reflect the accounts of Parent, MedivoxRx, Libsyn and Interim. All significant inter-company transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Accounting Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates for the Company include allowances and goodwill. Actual results could differ from those estimated by management.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Goodwill and Definite-life intangible assets - The Company accounts for Goodwill and definite-life intangible assets in accordance with provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards "SFAS" No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets". Goodwill and intangible assets acquired in a purchase business combination and determined to have an indefinite useful life are not amortized, but instead are tested for impairment at least annually in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 142. Impairment losses arising from this impairment test, if any, are included in operating expenses in the period of impairment. SFAS No. 142 requires that definite intangible assets with estimable useful lives be amortized over their respective estimated useful lives, and reviewed for impairment in accordance with SFAS No. 144, Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.
Software Development Costs - Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 86 "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed" requires software development costs to be capitalized upon the establishment of technological feasibility. The establishment of technological feasibility and the ongoing assessment of the recoverability of these costs require considerable judgment by management with respect to certain external factors such as anticipated future revenue, estimated economic life, and changes in software and hardware technologies. Capitalizable software development costs have not been significant and accordingly no amounts are shown as capitalized at March 31, 2007.
Loss Per Share - The Company computes loss per share in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards "SFAS" No. 128 "Earnings Per Share," which requires the Company to present basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share when the effect is dilutive [see Note 11].
Income Taxes - The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." This statement requires an asset and liability approach for accounting for income taxes.
Advertising Costs - Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and amounted to $82,266 and $20,213 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments - The fair value of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and notes payable are determined by reference to market data and by other valuation techniques as appropriate. Unless otherwise disclosed, the fair value of financial instruments approximates their recorded values due to their short-term maturities.
Revenue Recognition - Revenue is recognized when earned. The Company's revenue recognition policies are in compliance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position ("SOP") 97-2 (as amended by SOP 98-4 and SOP 98-9) and related interpretations, "Software Revenue Recognition" and the Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 and 104.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Software product revenues are recognized upon shipment of the software product only if no significant Company obligations remain, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collection is received or the resulting receivable is deemed probable. Revenue from package software products are recorded when the payment has been received and the software has been shipped.

Provisions are recorded for returns, concessions, and bad debts and at March 31, 2007 and 2006 amounted to $0. Revenue related to obligations, which include telephone support for certain packaged products, are based on the relative fair value of each of the deliverables determined based on vendor-specific objective evidence ("VSOE") when significant. The Company VSOE is determined by the price charged when each element is sold separately. Reven ue from packaged software product sales to and through distributors and resellers is recorded when payment is received and the related products are shipped. The Company's distributors or resellers do not carry packaged software product inventory and thus the Company does not offer any price protections or stock balancing rights. Revenue from non-recurring programming, engineering fees, consulting service, support arrangements and training programs are recognized when the services are provided.
Healthcare - The Company recognizes revenue from the providing of healthcare services when the services are provided and collection is probable. Revenue for the talking bottle is recognized when the product is shipped and collections are probable.
Podcast Hosting – The Company recognizes revenue from providing podcast hosting services when the services are provided and when collection is received.

For the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, non-cash compensation expense of $47,090 and $0, respectively, has been recognized for grants of options to employees and directors in the accompanying statements of operations with an associated recognized tax benefit of $0 of which $0 was capitalized as an asset for the three months ended March 31, 2007.

Included in general and administrative expense for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 are $52,178 and $11,318, respectively, of research and development costs associated with the development of new products.
Restatement - The first quarter was restated due to a calculation error in determining the amount of non-cash expense for the extension of warrants on February 8, 2007. The effect on the financial statements increased interest expense and net loss $420,138 for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The restatement increased the stated net loss per share from $0.04 per share to $0.05 per share for the three months ended March 31, 2007.
NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States of America, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company has incurred significant losses and has not yet been successful in establishing profitable operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. In this regard, management plans to mitigate this doubt by raising additional funds through debt and/or equity offerings and by substantially increasing sales. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in achieving profitable operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

NOTE 11 - LOSS PER COMMON SHARE
The following data show the amounts used in computing loss per share and the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the periods presented:
| | | | |
| For the Three Months Ended |
| March 31, |
| | 2007 | | 2006 |
Loss from continuing operations available to common shareholders (numerator) | $ | (1,794,129) | $ | (558,199) |
| | | | |
Weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period used in loss per share (denominator) | | 36,090,859 | | 32,081,783 |
At March 31, 2007, the Company had 2,946,866 warrants outstanding to purchase common stock of the Company at $1.25 to $3.41 per share, and a 5% convertible note payable wherein the holder could convert the note into a minimum of 1,187,500 shares of common stock, [See Note 7], which were not included in the loss per share computation because their effect would be anti-dilutive.
At March 31, 2006, the Company had 1,923,105 warrants outstanding to purchase common stock of the Company at $1.25 to $2.27 per share, a 5% convertible note payable wherein the holder could convert the note into 588,235 shares, [See Note 7], which were not included in the loss per share computation because their effect would be anti-dilutive.
NOTE 12 - INCOME TAXES
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes". SFAS No. 109 requires the Company to provide a net deferred tax asset/liability equal to the expected future tax benefit/expense of temporary reporting differences between book and tax accounting methods and any available operating loss or tax credit carryforwards. The Company has available at March 31, 2007 operating loss carryforwards of approximately $18,900,000 which may be applied against future taxable income and which expires in various years through 2025.
The amount of and ultimate realization of the benefits from the operating loss carryforwards for income tax purposes is dependent, in part, upon the tax laws in effect, the future earnings of the Company, and other future events, the effects of which cannot be determined.
Because of the uncertainty surrounding the realization of the loss carryforwards and significant changes in the ownership of the Company, a valuation allowance has been established equal to the tax effect of the loss carryforwards and, therefore, no deferred tax asset has been recognized for the loss carryforwards. The net deferred tax assets are approximately $6,400,000 as of March 31, 2007, with an offsetting valuation allowance of the same amount. The change in the valuation allowance for the three months ended March 31, 2007 approximated $200,000.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation.
Highlights of First Quarter, 2007
In the first quarter of 2007 the Company announced its first major entry into the podcasting market with the acquisition of Webmayhem Inc. Management believes that after years of attempting to become profitable based on our expertise and position in the speech recognition industry, the new Web 2.0 and one of its major components ”podcasting”, has provided Wizzard with the potentially explosive opportunity we have been searching for, for some time.
Our business for the last ten years has been focused around many aspects of the speech technology industry. We offer companies the products, tools and services to incorporate speech technology into their products and services. We also offer speech based products and services directly to consumers. Below is a breakout of our entire business, from our most recent entry into podcasting to our legacy business of offering core speech engine tools for developers and speech technology solutions for the healthcare industry.
1. Wizzard Media
In late 2005 Wizzard's Speech Technology Group began to receive inquires regarding podcasting and how speech recognition and text-to-speech could play a significant role in monetizing the industry. These specific types of inquiries became voluminous enough for us to investigate the podcasting industry and how we could capitalize on this growing customer demand.
Podcasts are audio and video "shows" created by all types of people on standard personal computers. Currently, podcasts are 80% audio and 20% video and are similar in format to a radio or TV show. These shows average twenty minutes in length and range in topics from comedy to sports to fashion. Due to the thousands of different niche topics, podcasting’s ability to reach highly targeted audiences is a very appealing proposition for both national and local advertisers. Podcasts can be subscribed to for free and accessed through new media aggregators such as Apple's popular iTunes. Podcasts are listened to or watched on Apple’s iPod along with almost any MP3 player, Sony’s PlayStation Portable, many new cell phones, Tivo units, and can also be played online using a standard PC. Every time a new episode is released from the podcast creator (approximately three times per month), it is automatically downloaded to a subscriber’ s computer and can be transferred over to an iPod or MP3 player with ease. We have found this subscription model very appealing to advertisers as well. Podcasts provide a new and exciting medium for information and entertainment distribution. Podcasts are enjoyed by consumers around the world while at their computer, exercising, on flights, at the beach, in their cars or on the subway and with the introduction of Apple TV, sitting at home in their living room. One of the biggest reasons for the success of podcasting is due to the fact that, unlike traditional radio and television, consumers can enjoy podcast shows where they want, when they want, putting the control of media consumption back into the consumer’s hands.
In mid 2006 we began an acquisition strategy to enter the podcasting industry which began with Switchpod.com, included Blastpodcast.com and peaked in the first quarter of 2007 with the acquisition of Libsyn.com. All three of these companies provide podcast hosting services. When one creates a podcast, they upload it on the internet to a host, who creates an individual Really Simple Syndication (RSS) feed and then continuously broadcasts the show out to anyone who subscribes. Podcast hosts also maintain viewer statistics, blogs, web pages and a host of other tools and services for podcasters to broadcast, manage and promote their shows. Wizzard’s management chose podcast hosting as the entry point for its new venture based on several factors: 1) consistent interaction with the podcasters, 2) accurate download statistics - important to advertisers, 3) the insertion point for advertising into the RSS feeds, 4) hosting of podcast files for spee ch recognition purposes 5) hosting capabilities and expertise for other speech recognition and text to speech services not associated with podcasting.
Wizzard Media is the newly launched division for our new media business. Wizzard Media is focused on the podcasting industry and how speech technology, when incorporated into the podcasting mix, can have a significant impact on the industry while creating important opportunities for the monetization of podcasting content. Wizzard Media is currently the world’s largest network of independent podcasters. In the month of April across the entire network of shows we fulfilled over 83 million download requests for podcasts. The network delivered 450 million downloads in 2006, and at the current pace is expected to double in 2007. With the recently launched New iPod Shuffle, Apple TV and soon, the iPhone, we expect podcasting to continue to grow at the same annual rate for some time to come. Several of the accomplishments of Wizzard Media in the first quarter of 2007 include:
* Podcast Downloads from Switchpod.com surpass 3 Million
* Announced the creation of Wizzard Media for Podcasting Business
* XA Interactive Signs to Expand Reach for Event Promotion with Podcasting
* Press from Miami Herald, Chicago Tribune, INC Magazine, Redherring
* Wizzard Closes Acquisition of Libsyn
* Hilary Duff Teams with Wizzard Media for Podcast Distribution
* Launched wizzard.tv, a discovery portal for podcast viewers
* Wizzard Media downloads surpass 60 million for first time
* Subsequent to Q1, Wizzard Media downloads surpass 70 million
One third of the Top 25 ranked podcasts in their respective categories in iTunes are broadcast by Wizzard Media. We broadcast over two million, six hundred thousand (2.6M) podcast episodes per day from 8,000 unique podcasts for a total of over ten million (10M) hours of monthly programming. These podcasts are consumed by millions of people around the world creating what management believes to be a very compelling platform for brand advertisers. We strongly believe that Wizzard Media is uniquely positioned to capture a significant portion of total advertising spending on podcasts for ourselves and our content creators as we offer a rich inventory of popular content to advertisers, strong consumption statistics and geographically targeted advertising capabilities. While there can be no future pricing guarantees, the podcasting industry is currently charging, and plans to continue to charge, between $.03 and $.05 per downloaded ad. The ads tend to be no longer than 15 seconds and several ads can be inserted in one twenty minute episode.
Today, podcasts are found by consumers in various fragmented directories based on the short description that the podcaster inputs to describe their content. In order for viewers/listeners to find podcasts that are truly interesting to them they have to sort through long lists of shows. In addition to turning text-based online content (blogs) into audio files for podcasting purposes, Wizzard is working to incorporate our highly accurate, server-based speech recognition technologies into the Wizzard Media network. Wizzard plans to simplify the search process by allowing audio and video podcasts to be automatically fed through its speech recognition system creating a transcript of each podcast. This feature will allow listeners to type in key words and find relevant podcasts based on the full content of each and every podcast episode.
Using our new WizzScribe speaker independent speech recognition product we can transcribe podcasts and use the resulting text to better index podcasts with popular search engines, to provide transcriptions for interested parties, to search for explicit content for compliance purposes and to assist advertisers in matching their brands with the appropriate content. With the rapid adoption of audio and video based content on the internet (Web 2.0), we see this new hosted speech recognition engine and text-to-speech service as a critical component in the monetization of audio/video businesses that are taking hold across the internet and around the world.
Wizzard Media will be the catalyst for attracting sponsors and advertising opportunities for the podcasts we currently broadcast using speech recognition to match advertisers with very specific, engaging shows, catering to a wide variety of mainstream and niche markets. Applying our geographical targeting capabilities we can find strong, relevant advertising opportunities for local businesses in addition to national brands, which is a significant revenue generating opportunity for Wizzard and for our content producers. Advertisers and consumers alike want relevant, focused advertisements, something clearly lacking in today's digital media offerings, yet can be accomplished using our combined technologies and skills. For example, if Ford Motor Company wants to advertise in all podcasts that discuss cars, a strategic search can be performed across the entire Wizzard Media network for all podcasts that discuss relative words at any place in the audio/video show, such as a utomobiles, trucks or minivans. Using dynamic advertisement insertion technology we can insert the ad in the front, the back or even at a very specific point inside the podcast where it is most relevant to the listener. Management believes this fundamental new feature gives Wizzard Media a strong competitive advantage making it easier to attract advertisers and sponsors who want to successfully align their brand of products and services with high-value content and a targeted audience on our network. Management’s research shows that consumers don’t mind advertisements to support their favorite podcasts when those ads are interesting and relevant.
Wizzard Media is considered the de facto leader in the podcasting distribution business and as we introduce our speech technologies to our hosting services, we strongly believe we will be strategically positioned to maximize revenue generation for the shows we broadcast.
2. Speech Technology and Services Group
Wizzard Software's Speech Technology and Services Group sells and licenses speech programming tools, related speech products and services, and distributable speech engines in over 13 languages worldwide. Wizzard receives the majority of its sales leads through arrangements with IBM and AT&T, as well as through our own internet marketing efforts through Google, Yahoo and other major internet search engines.
In the first quarter of 2007 our T&S Group achieved a 52% increase in revenue over the first quarter of 2006. T&S Group continues to focus on our core Assistive Application and Medical Dictation markets and continues to add new customers in the ATM and Simulator categories throughout 2006 and into the first quarter of 2007. Alert/broadcasting, which began to emerge as a customer category in
2005, has continued to grow and additional inroads have been made with TTS in the deployment and development of dictionary and game applications. Significant prototyping activity has been accomplished in the dictation services industry using speech recognition and the protocol supportive attributes of our TTS offerings have been enhanced to support customer requests for large IVR type applications.
Management believes a shift in customer demand is underway from the purchase of stand alone speech engines to a more hosted services type offering. We believe we are well positioned to capture the growing demand for hosted speech solutions with our recently announced server based text to speech offerings as well as our server based speaker independent speech recognition products. With the recent acquisition of three hosting systems we now have the internal expertise and network platform to quickly begin offering hosted speech services. Our first foray into a hosted speech solution was WizzTones for Skype.
WizzTones for Skype was released to unexpected fanfare and garnered a significant amount of press. To promote the product, we announced the release on Business Wire and placed the trial version on multiple download websites. We were also able to secure a listing on the Skype site. In the 4th quarter of 2006, Wizzard announced official Skype certification and a co-marketing deal with Skype for our WizzTones product. In the first quarter of 2007, WizzTones was included in the full Skype download so that every individual who downloads Skype gets a trial version of WizzTones. They can purchase the full version online and we have seen early indications that this will increase sales of WizzTones.
3. Speech Group - Healthcare
Our acquisition of Interim Healthcare of Wyoming was completed in the third quarter of 2005 and we continue to be excited about the impact our speech technology can have on the home healthcare industry. Based in Casper, Wyoming, Interim Health Care of Wyoming has been serving its community for fifteen years and is part of the fast growing home health segment of the healthcare industry, providing a wide range of visiting nurse services to the elderly, wounded and sick. It is one of the 300 home health agencies that comprise Interim Health Care, the largest home healthcare franchise in the United States.
We believe that our speech technology (Talking Prescription Bottle, WizzScribe transcription service, MedOasis InfoPath forms, ViaVoice speech medical recognition, etc.) can make a significant impact on the bottom line of HHC agencies. Both Wizzard's management and owners of our targeted home health care agencies believe that strong synergies exist among the services they offer, the compliances they must adhere to, the job functions of their workers, our Talking Prescription Bottle, various talking medical devices, WizzScribe transcription product, medical speech recognition dictation and form-fill applications.
Our home healthcare business continues to be a strong part of our business as our country's population ages and new methods of patient data capture become critical components for delivering high quality, affordable healthcare services in a patient's home. Although this has been a gradual process, we believe that we are building a solid business that will offer a complimentary package of new technology and traditional services. We are currently expanding our territory within the state of Wyoming as a result of the state's willingness to increase Medicaid payments by up to 30%, and we expect insurance providers within the state to follow suit. In the first quarter of 2007 we announced that in 2006, our first full year of operating Interim of Wyoming, EBITDA was up by over 20%.
Branded with the name "Rex," the Talking Prescription Bottle allows end-users to "hear" medication instructions when reading a medication label is not practical or possible. There are several billion prescriptions filled each year in the U.S. and pharmaceutical errors create billions of dollars of additional medical spending with the number one error being identified as labeling problems and education. Using unique microprocessor electronics and Wizzard's advanced text-to-speech technology, pharmacists can automatically create a "talking" label while the traditional instruction label is being printed. At the push of a button, the prescription bottle talks to the patient, telling him or her the name of the medication, the dosage the patient should consume, the frequency of administration, refill instructions, warnings and other important information necessary to educate and help people take their prescription medication properly.
We continue to see reorders from our current HMO customers in addition to expanded territory. We plan to continue to work with legislators in several states that support legislation requiring pharmacies to carry assistive aid devices that help ensure patient safety. We have received attention and support from members of Congress at the Federal and State levels in conjunction with the proposed legislation in Maryland. With the positive end user and legislator reactions that we are receiving, we remain committed to our belief that the Talking Prescription Bottle can achieve the success that we have envisioned from the onset. The ability for the elderly and visually impaired to fully comprehend their prescription medication instructions is as necessary as ever as new drugs are constantly introduced to the market and medication combinations make following dosage instructions critical.
Results of Operations.
Three Months Ended March 31, 2007 and 2006.
During the first quarter ended March 31, 2007, Wizzard recorded revenues of $725,926, a 21% increase from revenues of $602,391 in the first quarter of 2006. The increase for the first quarter of 2007 was due to increased revenues in our speech technology business, our talking pill bottle, and the addition of the Libsyn operation for the last month of the quarter.
Cost of goods sold totaled $468,593 in the first quarter of 2007, versus $377,538 in the first quarter of 2006. This increase of 24% is attributed primarily to the addition of our Libsyn operations. Wizzard posted a gross profit of $257,333 during the first quarter of 2007, versus a gross profit of $224,853 in the first quarter of 2006, an increase of 14%.
In the first quarter ended March 31, 2007, operating expenses totaled $1,882,413 which was an 143% increase from operating expenses of $773,633 in the first quarter of 2006. Broken down by line item our operating expenses were:
General and administrative expenses were $938,891 in the first quarter of 2007 versus $672,148 in 2006. This increase was due primarily to the addition of personnel, and an increase of consulting fees. Selling expenses in the first quarter of 2007 were $201,734 versus $90,167 in 2006. This increase was due primarily to our investment in growing Switchpod and Libsyn , and an increased marketing effort in our software operations. Research and Development expenses in the first quarter 2007 were $52,178 versus $11,318 in 2006 due primarily to the addition of a programmer for Switchpod. In addition, we incurred non-cash expense of $689,610 as a result of the extension and re-pricing of warrants in the first quarter of 2007.
Other expenses of $169,049 in the first quarter of 2007, versus $9,419 in the first quarter of 2006, consisted primarily of non cash interest expense on the discount of our notes payable.
Wizzard's net loss was $1,794,129, or $0.05 per share, in the quarter ended March 31, 2007. This represents a 221% increase from our net loss of $558,199, or $0.02 per share, in the first quarter of 2006.
Liquidity and Capital Resources.
Cash used in operations for the three months ended March 31, 2007, was $788,681, an increase of 137% over the $332,379 cash used in operations for the three months ended March 31, 2006, driven by the addition of the Libsyn and Switchpod operations. Cash used in investing activities of $232,470 was primarily for the acquisition of Libsyn during the three months ended March 31, 2007. Cash on hand was $1,974,801 at March 31, 2007, an increase of $1,687,278 over the $287,523 on hand at March 31, 2006.
In the first three months of 2007, the Company received $320,090 from the issuance of common stock. The Company used common stock to pay $326,879 in consulting and investor relations services during the three months ended March 31, 2007. In doing so, management believes we have conserved Wizzard's cash liquidity for operational purposes.
The Company believes it is still in the early stages of the new and developing speech technology market and podcast hosting services, and estimates it will require approximately $230,000 per month to maintain current operations and grow our podcasting business. As mentioned in Note 2 to the accompanying unaudited financial statements, the Company has not yet been able to establish profitable operations and has not generated sufficient cash flows from operations, thus raising substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The Company has been successful over the past ten years in obtaining working capital and will continue to seek to raise additional capital from time to time as needed and until profitable operations can be established.
Safe Harbor Statement.
Statements made in this Form 10-QSB-A1 which are not purely historical are forward-looking statements with respect to the goals, plan objectives, intentions, expectations, financial condition, results of operations, future performance and business of the Company, including, without limitation, (i) our ability to gain a larger share of the podcasting, home healthcare and speech recognition software industries, our ability to continue to develop products and services acceptable to those industries, our ability to retain our business relationships, and our ability to raise capital and the growth of the podcasting, home healthcare and speech recognition software industries, and (ii) statements preceded by, followed by or that include the words "may", "would", "could", "should", "expects", "projects", "anticipates", "believes", "estimates", "plans", "intends", &qu ot;targets", "tend" or similar expressions.
Forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties, and important factors (many of which are beyond the Company's control) that could cause actual results to differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements, including the following, in addition to those contained in the Company's reports on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission: general economic or industry conditions, nationally and/or in the communities in which the Company conducts business, changes in the interest rate environment, legislation or regulatory requirements, conditions of the securities markets, changes in the podcasting, home healthcare and/or speech recognition technology industries, the development of products and/or services that may be superior to the products and services offered by the Company, competition, changes in the quality or composition of the Company's products and services, our ability to develop new produc ts and services, our ability to raise capital, changes in accounting principals, policies or guidelines, financial or political instability, acts of war or terrorism, other economic, competitive, governmental, regulatory and technical factors affecting the Company’s operations, products, services and prices.
Accordingly, results actually achieved may differ materially from expected results in these statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. The Company does not undertake, and specifically disclaims, any obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of such statements.
Item 3. Controls and Procedures.
Our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act")), which we refer to as disclosure controls, are controls and procedures that are designed with the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this report, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms. Disclosure controls are also designed with the objective of ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any control system. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance that its objectives are met. No evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our company have been detected.
In connection with management’s assessment of the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, management identified a material weakness relating to its policies and procedures to insure the accuracy of the valuation and appropriate recording of compensation for the issuance of stock-based compensation and the extension of warrants was inadequate to ensure the valuation and accuracy of recording compensation. As a result, the Company’s net loss was understated by $420,138 in the first quarter of 2007. This material weakness resulted in the reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our interim financial statements would not be prevented or detected, and resulted from not having a procedure in place to independently review the calculation of stock-based compensation and the extension of warrants. During 2008, the Company has implement the control procedure to have the compensation calculation for stock ba sed compensation and the extension of the life of warrants reviewed by an individual, with adequate accounting expertise, and independent of the preparer of the original calculation.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.
No change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2007 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
As a small business issuer, the Company is not required to comply with Section 404 of the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002. However, the Company will continue to monitor, assess and work to improve the effectiveness of our internal control procedures related to internal controls, financial reporting and certain entity-wide controls related to corporate governance.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
In September, 2006 the Company filed suit against a former employee for damages and for the former employee to cease and desist providing in connection with violation of a trade secret agreement. The former employee has counter sued for interference of prospective business expectancy. Management is unable to predict the outcome of these claims, but believes it will not have a material impact on the results of operations or financial position.

At June 30, 2006, the Company had 1,923,105 warrants outstanding to purchase common stock of the Company at $1.25 to $3.41 per share, the Company had 137,500 options outstanding to purchase common stock of the Company at $1.59 per share, and a 5% convertible note payable wherein the holder could convert the note into 494,998 shares, [See Note 6], which were not included in the loss per share computation because their effect would be anti-dilutive.
NOTE 11 - INCOME TAXES
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes". SFAS No. 109 requires the Company to provide a net deferred tax asset/liability equal to the expected future tax benefit/expense of temporary reporting differences between book and tax accounting methods and any available operating loss or tax credit carryforwards. The Company has available at June 30, 2007 operating loss carryforwards of approximately $21,750,000 which may be applied against future taxable income and which expires in various years through 2027.
The amount of and ultimate realization of the benefits from the operating loss carryforwards for income tax purposes is dependent, in part, upon the tax laws in effect, the future earnings of the Company, and other future events, the effects of which cannot be determined.
Because of the uncertainty surrounding the realization of the loss carryforwards and significant changes in the ownership of the Company, a valuation allowance has been established equal to the tax effect of the loss carryforwards and, therefore, no deferred tax asset has been recognized for the loss carryforwards. The net deferred tax assets are approximately $7,400,000 as of June 30, 2007, with an offsetting valuation allowance of the same amount. The change in the valuation allowance for the six months ended June 30, 2007 approximated $1,200,000.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation.
Highlights of Second Quarter, 2007
Our business for the last ten years has been focused around many aspects of the speech technology industry. We offer companies the products, tools and services to incorporate speech technology into their products and services. We also offer speech based products and services directly to consumers. Below is a breakout of our entire business, from our most recent entry into podcasting to our legacy business of offering core speech engine tools for developers and speech technology solutions for the healthcare industry.
1. Wizzard Media
Wizzard Media is the newly launched division for our new media podcasting business. Wizzard Media is focused on the podcasting industry and how speech technology, when incorporated into the podcasting mix, can have a significant impact on the industry by providing a safe means for advertisers to promote their brands in user generated content, while at the same time providing for focused advertising targetability and the monetization of podcasting content for our publishers and ourselves. Wizzard Media is currently the industry’s largest network of independent and professional podcasters. The network received over 450 million download requests in 2006 and is on pace to hit 875 million in 2007, with one billion (1.0B) download requests looking like a real possibility. Wizzard's hosting grew by over 300 new shows in the second quarter with 38,000 new episodes added across the network. With the recently launched new iPod Shuffle, Apple TV and the iPhone, w e expect podcasting to continue to grow at the same annual rate for some time to come.

One third of the Top 25 ranked podcasts in their respective categories in iTunes are broadcast by Wizzard Media. We broadcast over two million, six hundred thousand (2.6M) podcast episodes per day from 8,000 unique podcasts for a total of over ten million (10M) hours of monthly programming. These podcasts are consumed by millions of people around the world creating what management believes to be a very compelling platform for brand advertisers. We strongly believe that Wizzard Media is uniquely positioned to capture a significant portion of total advertising spending on podcasts for ourselves and our content creators as we offer a rich inventory of popular content to advertisers, strong consumption statistics and geographically targeted advertising capabilities. While there can be no future pricing guarantees, the podcasting industry is currently charging, and plans to continue to charge, between $.03 and $.05 per downloaded ad. The ads tend to be no longer than 15 seconds and several ads can be inserted in one twenty minute episode.
Podcasts are audio and video "shows" created by all types of people on standard personal computers. Currently, podcasts are 80% audio and 20% video and are similar in format to a radio or TV show. These shows average twenty minutes in length and range in topics from comedy to sports to fashion. Due to the thousands of different niche topics, podcasting’s ability to reach highly targeted audiences is a very appealing proposition for both national and local advertisers. Podcasts can be subscribed to for free and accessed through new media aggregators such as Apple's popular iTunes. Podcasts are listened to or watched on Apple’s iPod along with almost any MP3 player, Sony’s PlayStation Portable, many new cell phones, Tivo units, and can also be played online using a standard PC. Every time a new episode is released from the podcast creator (approximately three times per month), it is automatically downloaded to a subscriber’ s computer and can be transferred over to an iPod or MP3 player with ease. We have found this subscription model very appealing to advertisers as well. Podcasts provide a new and exciting medium for information and entertainment distribution. Podcasts are enjoyed by consumers around the world while at their computer, exercising, on airplanes, at the beach, in their cars or on the subway and with the introduction of Apple TV, sitting at home in their living room. One of the biggest reasons for the success of podcasting is due to the fact that, unlike traditional radio and television, consumers can enjoy podcast shows where they want, when they want, putting the control of media consumption back into the consumer’s hands.
Today, podcasts are found by consumers in various fragmented directories based on the short description that the podcaster inputs to describe their content. In order for viewers/listeners to find podcasts that are truly interesting to them they have to sort through long lists of shows. In addition to turning text-based online content (blogs) into audio files for podcasting purposes, Wizzard is working to incorporate our highly accurate, server-based speech recognition technologies into the Wizzard Media network. Wizzard plans to simplify the search process by allowing audio and video podcasts to be automatically fed through its speech recognition system creating a transcript of each podcast. This feature will allow listeners to type in key words and find relevant podcasts based on the full content of each and every podcast episode.
Using our new WizzScribe speaker independent speech recognition product we can transcribe podcasts and use the resulting text to better index podcasts with popular search engines, to provide transcriptions for interested parties, to search for explicit content for compliance purposes and to assist advertisers in matching their brands with the appropriate content. With the rapid adoption of audio and video based content on the internet (Web 2.0), we see this new hosted speech recognition engine and text-to-speech service as a critical component in the monetization of audio/video businesses that are taking hold across the internet and around the world.
Wizzard Media will be the catalyst for attracting sponsors and advertising opportunities for the podcasts we currently broadcast using speech recognition to match advertisers with very specific, engaging shows, catering to a wide variety of mainstream and niche markets. Applying our geographical targeting capabilities we can find strong, relevant advertising opportunities for local businesses in addition to national brands, which is a significant revenue generating opportunity for Wizzard and for our content producers. Advertisers and consumers alike want relevant, focused advertisements, something clearly lacking in today's digital media offerings, yet can be accomplished using our combined technologies and skills. For example, if Ford Motor Company wants to advertise in all podcasts that
discuss cars, a strategic search can be performed across the entire Wizzard Media network for all podcasts that discuss relative words at any place in the audio/video show, such as automobiles, trucks or minivans. Using dynamic advertisement insertion technology we can insert the ad in the front, the back or even at a very specific point inside the podcast where it is most relevant to the listener. Management believes this extreme targetability gives Wizzard Media a strong competitive advantage making it easier to attract advertisers and sponsors who want to successfully align their brand of products and services with high-value content and a targeted audience on our network. Management’s research shows that consumers don’t mind advertisements to support their favorite podcasts when those ads are interesting and relevant.
Wizzard Media is considered the de facto leader in the podcasting distribution business and as we introduce our speech technologies to our hosting services, we strongly believe we will be strategically positioned to maximize revenue generation for the shows we broadcast.
2. Speech Technology and Services Group
Wizzard Software's legacy Speech Technology and Services Group sells and licenses speech programming tools, related speech products and services, and distributable speech engines in over 13 languages worldwide. Wizzard receives the majority of its sales leads through arrangements with IBM and AT&T, as well as through our own internet marketing efforts through Google, Yahoo and other major internet search engines.
In the first six months of 2007 our T&S Group achieved a 16% increase in revenue over the first six months of 2006. T&S Group continues to focus on our core Assistive Application and Medical Dictation markets and continues to add new customers in the ATM and Simulator categories throughout 2006 and 2007. Alert/broadcasting, which began to emerge as a customer category in 2005, has continued to grow and additional inroads have been made with TTS in the deployment and development of dictionary and game applications. Significant prototyping activity has been accomplished in the dictation services industry using speech recognition and the protocol supportive attributes of our TTS offerings have been enhanced to support customer requests for large IVR type applications.
Management believes a shift in customer demand is underway from the purchase of stand alone speech engines to a more hosted services type offering. We believe we are well positioned to capture the growing demand for hosted speech solutions with our recently announced server based text to speech offerings as well as our server based speaker independent speech recognition products. With the recent acquisition of three hosting systems we now have the internal expertise and network platform to quickly begin offering hosted speech services. Our first foray into a hosted speech solution was WizzTones for Skype.
WizzTones for Skype was released to unexpected fanfare and garnered a significant amount of press. To promote the product, we announced the release on Business Wire and placed the trial version on multiple download websites. We were also able to secure a listing on the Skype site. In the 4th quarter of 2006, Wizzard announced official Skype certification and a co-marketing deal with Skype for our WizzTones product. In the first quarter of 2007, WizzTones was included in the full Skype download so that every individual who downloads Skype gets a trial version of WizzTones. Users can purchase the full version online and we have seen early indications that this will increase sales of WizzTones. In the second quarter, WizzTones was selected for the Skype Extras Gallery and has seen a significant increase in downloads.
The Speech Technology and Services Group's immediate focus for the second half of 2007 is to increase revenue and be a preferred supplier for speech technologies to large businesses worldwide, emphasize great technologies, competitive prices and high quality support to the speech development community as well as offering non-technical hosted speech conversion services to companies that have subscriber bases in fast growing market segments.
3. Speech Group - Healthcare
In the second quarter of 2007, Wizzard's Interim of Wyoming operation acquired certain assets of Professional Personnel Inc., a synergistic home healthcare business in close proximity of our current HHC operations. As a result, Interim of Wyoming's revenues were up 84% over the second quarter of 2006. Based in Casper, Wyoming and Billings, Montana, Interim Health Care of Wyoming has been serving its community for fifteen years and is part of the fast growing home health segment of the healthcare industry, providing a wide range of visiting nurse services to the elderly, wounded and sick. It is one of the 300 home health agencies that comprise Interim Health Care, the largest home healthcare franchise in the United States.
We believe that our speech technology (WizzScribe transcription service, MedOasis InfoPath forms, ViaVoice speech medical recognition, etc.) can make a significant impact on the bottom line of HHC agencies. Both Wizzard's management and owners of our
targeted home health care agencies believe that strong synergies exist among the services they offer, the compliances they must adhere to, the job functions of their workers, WizzScribe transcription product, medical speech recognition dictation and form-fill applications.
Our home healthcare business continues to be a strong part of our business as our country's population ages and new methods of patient data capture become critical components for delivering high quality, affordable healthcare services in a patient's home. Although this has been a gradual process, we believe that we are building a solid business that will offer a complimentary package of new technology and traditional services. We are currently expanding our territory within the state of Wyoming as a result of the state's willingness to increase Medicaid payments by up to 30%, and we expect insurance providers within the state to follow suit.
Branded with the name "Rex," the Talking Prescription Bottle allows end-users to "hear" medication instructions when reading a medication label is not practical or possible. There are several billion prescriptions filled each year in the U.S. and pharmaceutical errors create billions of dollars of additional medical spending with the number one error being identified as labeling problems and education. Using unique microprocessor electronics and Wizzard's advanced text-to-speech offerings, pharmacists can automatically create a "talking" label while the traditional instruction label is being printed. At the push of a button, the prescription bottle talks to the patient, telling him or her the name of the medication, the dosage the patient should consume, the frequency of administration, refill instructions, warnings and other important information necessary to educate and help people take their prescription medication properly.
In the second quarter of 2007, we have seen renewed interest in the Talking Prescription Bottle from at least two major U.S. pharmacy chains, for online or in store sales, as they develop new divisions that deal with ADA and patient services. MedivoxRx continues to see reorders from our current HMO customers in addition to expanded HMO territory. We expect our largest HMO customer to expand the use of the bottle and begin placing new orders in the fourth quarter of 2007. We have made significant inroads with the largest mail order prescription company in the world who will complete testing of the bottle in the next 30 days for both product quality as well as its potential to work within their automated fulfillment systems. We plan to continue to work with legislators in several states that support legislation requiring pharmacies to carry assistive aid devices that help ensure patient safety. We have received attention and support from members of Congress a t the Federal and State levels in conjunction with the proposed legislation in Maryland, California and other states. We continue to believe in the Talking Prescription Bottle as the ability of the elderly and visually impaired to fully comprehend prescription medication instructions is as necessary as ever, and as new drugs are constantly introduced to the market and increasing medication combinations make following dosage instructions critical.
Results of Operations.
Three Months Ended June 30, 2007 and 2006.
During the second quarter ended June 30, 2007, Wizzard recorded revenues of $1,428,097, an 83% increase from revenues of $782,046 in the second quarter of 2006 and a 97% increase over revenues in the first quarter of 2007 ($725,926). The increase for the second quarter of 2006 was due primarily to the expansion of our podcast hosting and healthcare operations as well as an increase in sales of our speech recognition software.
Cost of goods sold totaled $1,025,402 in the second quarter of 2007, versus $447,700 in the second quarter of 2006. This increase of 129% is attributed primarily to expenses related to the expansion of our podcast hosting and healthcare operations. Wizzard posted a gross profit of $402,695 during the second quarter of 2007, versus a gross profit of $334,346 in the second quarter of 2006, an increase of 20%.
In the second quarter ended June 30, 2007, operating expenses totaled $3,104,138 which was a 118% increase from operating expenses of $1,428,019 in the second quarter of 2006. Broken down by line item our operating expenses were:
General and administrative expenses were $2,876,998 in 2007 versus $674,610 in 2006. This increase was due primarily to an increase in consulting fees, as well as the addition of personnel with investments in Libsyn and PNPP. The Company used common stock to pay $1,946,300 of the increase in General and Administrative expenses.
Selling expenses in the second quarter of 2007 were $186,194 versus $134,891 in 2006. This 38% increase was due primarily to the expansion of our podcast hosting and healthcare operations. Research and Development expenses in the second quarter were $40,946 versus $11,850 in 2006. Compensation for re-pricing of warrants totaled $606,668 for the second quarter of 2006.
Other income (expenses) of $164,865 versus $294,582 in the second quarter of 2006, consisted primarily of interest expense. This decrease relates to the issuance of $382,500 of restricted stock in 2006 to extend the due date on the convertible notes payable to December 28, 2006, offset by other income of $73,865, for penalties that were not claimed on the delay in registering the underlying securities.
Wizzard's net loss was $2,866,308, or $0.07 per share, in the quarter ended June 30, 2007. This represents a 137% increase from our net loss of $1,388,255, or $0.04 per share, in the second quarter of 2006.
Six months ended June 30, 2007, and 2006.
During the six month period ended June 30 2007, Wizzard recorded revenues of $2,154,023, a 56% increase over revenues of $1,384,437 for the same period in 2006. The increase in revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2007, was due to the expansion of our podcast hosting and healthcare operations.
In the six months ended June 30, 2007, cost of goods sold totaled $1,493,995, an 81% increase as compared to $825,238 in the six months ended June 30, 2006. The increase in cost of goods sold was due to the expansion of our podcast hosting and healthcare operations.
Wizzard recorded total operating expenses of $4,986,550 during the six months ended June 30, 2007, a 126% increase as compared to operating expenses of $2,201,652 in the same period of 2006. General and administrative expenses totaled $3,815,889 in the first six months of 2007 versus $1,346,758 in the first six months of 2006, an increase of approximately 183%. This increase is due primarily to an increase in consulting fees, as well as an increase in employee and payroll related expense with the expansion of our podcast hosting and healthcare operations. The Company used common stock to pay $2,320,270 of the increase in General and Administrative expenses.
Selling expenses in the first six months of 2007 were $387,928 versus $225,058 in 2006. This 72% increase was due primarily to the expansion of our podcast hosting and healthcare operations. Research and Development expense increased to $93,124 in the first six months of 2007 from $23,168 in the first six months of 2006.
In the first six months of 2006, Wizzard recorded $606,668 of compensation for re-pricing of warrants. In the first six months of 2007, Wizzard recorded interest expense of $689,610, to extend the expiration date of certain warrants.
Wizzard's net loss was $4,660,437, or $0.12 per share, in the six months ended June 30, 2007. This represents a 139% increase from our net loss of $1,946,454, or $0.06 per share, in the first six months of 2006. Total non-cash expenses for the first six months of 2007 was $3,332,679, a 127% increase from non-cash expenses of $1,467,935 in the first six months of 2006, primarily due issuance of stock for consulting services.
Liquidity and Capital Resources.
Cash on hand was $1,321,948 at June 30, 2007, an increase of $727,989 over the $593,959 on hand at June 30, 2006. Cash used in operations for the six months ended June 30, 2007, was $1,613,821, an increase of 181% over the $574,344 cash used in operations for the six months ended June 30, 2006. Cash used in investing activities was $400,902 primarily for the acquisitions of Libsyn and PNPP during the six months ended June 30, 2007.
In the first six months of 2007, the Company received $677,319 from the issuance of common stock. The Company used common stock to pay $2,149,770 in consulting, investor relations and employee services during the six months ended June 30, 2007. In doing so, management believes we have conserved Wizzard's cash liquidity for operational purposes.
The Company believes it is still in the early stages of the new and developing speech technology market and podcast hosting services, and estimates it will require approximately $230,000 per month to maintain current operations and grow our podcasting business.
On July 9, 2007, which is subsequent to the period covered by this report, the Company closed a Securities Purchase Agreement by which four institutional investors agreed to purchase for an aggregate purchase price of $7.5 million: a) 7,500 shares of the Company’s Series A 7% Convertible Preferred Stock, which can be convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $2.05 per share, and b) Common Stock Purchase Warrants to purchase a total of up to 1,829,268 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $2.85 per share, exercisable for a period of five years.
Holders of the Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive cumulative dividends of 7% per annum for the first two years after issuance of the Preferred Stock and 18% per annum thereafter, payable on January 1 and July 1, beginning on January 1, 2008, either in cash or, at the Company’s option, in shares of the Company’s common stock.
The Company will have the right to force conversion of all or part of the outstanding Preferred Stock, plus all accrued but unpaid dividends and liquidated damages due with respect to the Preferred Stock if, after the two-year anniversary of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement referred to below, the price of the Company’s common stock exceeds $6.15 for 10 consecutive trading days and the volume for each such trading day exceeds 100,000 shares of common stock.
Beginning two years after the issuance date of the Preferred Stock, the Company may also elect to redeem all (but not less than all) of the then outstanding Preferred Stock at a total price of: (i) 125% of the aggregate Stated Value then outstanding; (ii) accrued but unpaid dividends; and (iii) all liquidated damages and other amounts due with respect to the Preferred Stock. On the occurrence of certain Triggering Events as defined in Section 9(a) of the Articles of Amendment/Certificate of Designation with respect to the Preferred Stock, each holder will have the right to require the Company to redeem all of the holder’s Preferred Stock or to increase the dividend rate on that holder’s Preferred Stock to 18% per annum thereafter.
Safe Harbor Statement.
Statements made in this Form 10-QSB-A1 which are not purely historical are forward-looking statements with respect to the goals, plan objectives, intentions, expectations, financial condition, results of operations, future performance and business of the Company, including, without limitation, (i) our ability to gain a larger share of the podcasting, home healthcare and speech recognition software industries, our ability to continue to develop products and services acceptable to those industries, our ability to retain our business relationships, and our ability to raise capital and the growth of the podcasting, home healthcare and speech recognition software industries, and (ii) statements preceded by, followed by or that include the words "may", "would", "could", "should", "expects", "projects", "anticipates", "believes", "estimates", "plans", "intends", &qu ot;targets", "tend" or similar expressions.
Forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties, and important factors (many of which are beyond the Company's control) that could cause actual results to differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements, including the following, in addition to those contained in the Company's reports on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission: general economic or industry conditions, nationally and/or in the communities in which the Company conducts business, changes in the interest rate environment, legislation or regulatory requirements, conditions of the securities markets, changes in the podcasting, home healthcare and/or speech recognition technology industries, the development of products and/or services that may be superior to the products and services offered by the Company, competition, changes in the quality or composition of the Company's products and services, our ability to develop new products and services, our abili ty to raise capital, changes in accounting principals, policies or guidelines, financial or political instability, acts of war or terrorism, other economic, competitive, governmental, regulatory and technical factors affecting the Company’s operations, products, services and prices.
Accordingly, results actually achieved may differ materially from expected results in these statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. The Company does not undertake, and specifically disclaims, any obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of such statements.
Item 3. Controls and Procedures.
Our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act")), which we refer to as disclosure controls, are controls and procedures that are designed with the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this report, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms. Disclosure controls are also designed with the objective of ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any control system. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance that its objectives are met. No evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our company have been detected.
In connection with management’s assessment of the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, management identified a material weakness relating to its policies and procedures to insure the accuracy of the valuation and appropriate recording of compensation for the issuance of stock-based compensation and the extension of warrants was inadequate to ensure the valuation and accuracy of recording compensation. As a result, the Company’s net loss was understated by $420,138 in the first quarter of 2007. This material weakness resulted in the reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our interim financial statements would not be prevented or detected, and resulted from not having a procedure in place to independently review the calculation of stock-based compensation and the extension of warrants. During 2008, the Company has implement the control procedure to have the compensation calculation for stock ba sed compensation and the extension of the life of warrants reviewed by an individual, with adequate accounting expertise, and independent of the preparer of the original calculation.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.
No change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2007 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Restatement – The Company reflected the effect of the $7,625,147 dividend on Preferred Shares and recalculated the net loss available to common shareholders and earnings per share. The restatement increased the stated net loss per share from $0.16 per share to $0.36 per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and from $.06 per share to $.24 for the three months ended September 30, 2007.

At September 30, 2006, the Company had 1,923,105 warrants outstanding to purchase common stock of the Company at $1.36 to $3.41 per share, the Company had 137,500 options outstanding to purchase common stock of the Company at $1.59 per share, and a 5% convertible note payable wherein the holder could convert the note into 494,998 shares, [See Note 6], which were not included in the loss per share computation because their effect would be anti-dilutive.
NOTE 12 - INCOME TAXES
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes". SFAS No. 109 requires the Company to provide a net deferred tax asset/liability equal to the expected future tax benefit/expense of temporary reporting differences between book and tax accounting methods and any available operating loss or tax credit carryforwards. The Company has available at September 30, 2007 operating loss carryforwards of approximately $22,770,000 which may be applied against future taxable income and which expires in various years through 2027.
The amount of and ultimate realization of the benefits from the operating loss carryforwards for income tax purposes is dependent, in part, upon the tax laws in effect, the future earnings of the Company, and other future events, the effects of which cannot be determined.
Because of the uncertainty surrounding the realization of the loss carryforwards and significant changes in the ownership of the Company, a valuation allowance has been established equal to the tax effect of the loss carryforwards and, therefore, no deferred tax asset has been recognized for the loss carryforwards. The net deferred tax assets are approximately $7,700,000 as of September 30, 2007, with an offsetting valuation allowance of the same amount. The change in the valuation allowance for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 approximated $1,500,000.

Wizzard Corporate
In the third quarter of 2007, Wizzard announced that management had secured $7,500,000 in operating capital from four institutional investors for the Company's podcasting business. After the raise of capital, Wizzard’s management then proceeded to file an application to list the Company's common stock on the American Stock Exchange. In order to meet Amex’s requirements of a board of directors made up of a majority of independent board members, Mr. Gordon Berry and Mr. Armen Geronian voluntarily resigned from Wizzard's Board of Directors. A month long search ensued and three new, independent board members were selected in Greg Smith, Doug Polinsky and Denis Yevstifeyev. Each of these new board members brings unique skills to Wizzard's governing body.
In the third quarter of 2007, Wizzard's CEO, Chris Spencer, was named "Best Value CEO" by the Pittsburgh Business Times. The Pittsburgh Business Times is part of American City Business Journals, the nation's largest publisher of metropolitan business newspapers. To determine who earned this achievement, the Business Times performed a study ranking 35 CEOs of local public companies. The study was conducted by comparing a number of factors to determine how CEO pay connects with company performance. For CEO pay, the study used the most recent fiscal year compensation, including salary, bonuses and non-equity incentive plan compensation. For company performance, the Business Times looked at several commonly acknowledged measures of a company's performance: revenue growth, return on equity, stock growth (from the beginning to the end of the fiscal year), and earnings growth (as compared to revenue growth.) Also notable, Wizzard Software ranked at #1 in terms of revenue growth and fifth in stock price increase out of the 35 public companies included in the study.
Subsequent to the third quarter of 2007, Wizzard's CFO, John Busshaus, was named CFO of the year (Public Company) in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The Pittsburgh Business Times is part of American City Business Journals, the nation's largest publisher of metropolitan business newspapers. The award was determined by eight judges made up by prominent business people in the Pittsburgh area, including several past winners.
In the third quarter of 2007, Wizzard was invited to present at the 27th Annual Canaccord Adams Global Growth Conference
1. Wizzard Media
Wizzard Media is the recently launched division for our new media podcasting business. Wizzard Media is focused on the podcasting industry and how speech technology, when incorporated into the podcasting mix, can have a significant impact on the industry by providing a safe means for advertisers to promote their brands in user generated and professional studio content. By incorporating speech recognition into the podcasting mix, Wizzard can search through a transcript of every participating podcast hosted on our servers and allows us to offer targeted advertising to national brands and the monetization of podcasting content for our publishers and for Wizzard. Wizzard Media is currently the industry’s largest network of independent and professional podcasters. The network received over 450 million download requests in 2006 and is on pace to hit 900 million in 2007, with one billion (1.0B) download requests within reach. Wizzard's hosting grew by over 70 0 new shows in the third quarter with 42,000 new episodes added across the network (up from 300+ new shows and 38,000 new episodes in the second quarter of 2007). With the recently launched new iPod Touch, Apple TV and the iPhone, we expect podcasting to continue to grow at the same annual rate for some time to come.
Some of the accomplishments of Wizzard Media in the third quarter of 2007 and subsequently include:
Distribution
Wizzard Media’s download requests surpassed 110 million (110,000,000) in October 2007, up from 42 million (42,000,000) in October, 2006. (on a pro-forma basis)
Wizzard launched a new podcasting channel on Veoh.com, recognized as one of the top-10 streaming video sites on the Internet by Nielsen//NetRatings. With over 85,000 content publishers such as Lionsgate, NCAA Football, PBS, National Lampoon and Us Weekly, and thousands of independent filmmakers and content producers, Veoh.com draws more than 18 million unique users per month. Veoh.com is part of Veoh Networks, a privately held company that has garnered the support of the world’s foremost technology and media investors, including Michael Eisner's Tornante Co., AOL/Time Warner, Goldman Sachs, Shelter Capital Partners, and Spark Capital. Wizzard believes the launch of this new podcasting channel on Veoh.com is another important step in the Company’s plan to introduce some of the best video podcasts available today to millions of viewers world-wide, creating a strong growth opportunity for podcast publishers and building an even more compelling vehi cle for advertisers.
Advertising
In the third quarter of 2007, Wizzard closed three advertising campaigns including the first six figure campaign with revenues expected to be generated over the next two quarters, as the campaign is executed. Subsequent to the third quarter, Wizzard's new advertising insertion system, able to handle the insertion of advertisements into audio and video podcasts with geographical targeting capabilities, was used successfully for this campaign. In October, 2007, the Wizzard Media Network had the potential to deliver over one hundred million (100,000,000) advertisements.
Wizzard announced in the third quarter of 2007 that the Company will implement Nielsen//NetRatings’ SiteCensus solution to certify publisher’s download data. Wizzard publicly calls the agreement a “landmark event” for its recently formed ad sales unit, Wizzard Media, which will now be able to use Nielsen//NetRatings data to verify the scope of audiences for participating podcasts. Management has repeatedly been told that advertisers want to see reputable; third-party measurement of podcast downloads. Measurement via Nielsen//NetRatings’ SiteCensus addresses these concerns and Management believes it will have a very positive impact on our podcast advertising sales efforts.
In the third quarter of 2007, Wizzard Media developed and deployed a category based system for general podcast advertising sales and the Podcaster Relations Department is currently reaching out to podcast publishers to populate the categories. Over 500 podcasters, representing more than 22 million monthly downloads as certified by Nielsen//NetRatings, joined Wizzard’s fast-growing advertising network in the third quarter of 2007. All of these podcasters have agreed to allow Wizzard Media’s ad sales team to represent them to agencies and media buyers to secure advertising opportunities.
In the third quarter of 2007, Wizzard Media launched a Research Department to collect audience statistics and other important demographic data to assist Wizzard’s ad sales team in the data driven advertising sales industry. Over 10,000 completed audience surveys have been collected to date. Also in the third quarter, Wizzard detailed plans and staffed a back-office Advertising Operations Department to handle everything from proposal tracking through campaign execution. To compliment the advertising operations department, Wizzard Media created and staffed a Podcaster Relations Department to work closely with the podcast publishers wanting to generate income through advertising. A new computer system is in the works to increase productivity between the various departments and is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2007.
Content
The number of new shows on the Wizzard Network grew by over 700 in the third quarter of 2007 (versus 300+ in the second quarter of 2007). 42,000 new episodes were added for the over 8,000 podcast shows hosted on the Wizzard Network (versus 38,000 in the second quarter of 2007).
In the third quarter of 2007, Wizzard signed 27 time Grammy winner Quincy Jones, singer Hilary Duff and actress Rebekah Green to exclusive advertising and marketing partnerships. Additionally, Wizzard signed Learn Spanish - Survival Guide to an exclusive advertising partnership which surpassed 2.0M download requests only one year after launch. Finally, Wizzard signed Tiki Bar TV and Keith and The Girl to exclusive advertising partnerships, two of the most watched podcasts in the world.
Wizzard Media sponsored the 3rd Annual 2007 Podcast Awards at the 2007 Portable Media Expo. Keith and The Girl won People's Choice Podcast Award at the 2007 Podcast Awards while Firefly Talk won Best Produced Podcast at the 2007 Podcast Awards. 15 of the 22 winners at the 2007 Podcast Awards use a Wizzard hosting solution (Libsyn, Switchpod or Blast Podcast). Out of the 220 podcast nominations spanning 22 different categories, 42% of the nominees for the 2007 Podcast Awards use a Wizzard service.
In conjunction with The Robert Thorne Company, Wizzard Media launched The Quincy Jones Podcast. Within a week, Quincy’s podcast was #23 in the Music Category in iTunes; secured press placements in The Hollywood Reporter, Billboard Magazine, Business 2.0 and CNet.com
Wizzard Media signed Six Months Later, an original video podcast comedy series that follows the struggles of life, love and relationships in L.A. The show was created by festival veterans and Hollywood up-and-comers David Frigerio and Ryan Alosio, who also stars as the main character. Ian Ziering of Beverly Hills 90210 and Dancing with the Stars, and Kristy Swanson, the original Buffy in the cult classic, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, are co-stars.
Wizzard Media signed Hot For Words, a video podcast that brings some heat into the origins of words. Hosted by a beautiful philologist named Marina, each 3-4 minute episode is created based on a word suggested by the viewers. Launched on YouTube in February of 2007, Hot For Words is the first YouTube video series recruited by Wizzard Media to be made available as a podcast.
Wizzard Media signs Jack Palms II: This is Life, the world's first crime noir podcast novel and the second in the Jack Palms crime noir audiobook series. Hosted by author Seth Harwood, the series was originally only available as an audiobook, but will be released in print format on March 16, 2008 (Palm Sunday) by Breakneck Books. Harwood's next project, a collection of short stories called A Long Way from Disney, will also be distributed by Wizzard.
Personnel
In its ongoing effort to monetize podcasts, Wizzard Media has added several personnel in key positions including General Manager, Director of Advertising Operations, VP of Podcaster Relations, Copywriter and numerous software engineers.
In the third quarter of 2007, Wizzard Media retained Vanguard Media Associates for advertising sales in the Midwest. President John Moran recently left MTV Networks, where he was vice president, national advertising sales and was responsible for the Detroit region. Mr. Moran oversaw national ad sales for MTV, MTV2, MTVu, VH1, VH1 Classic, VH1 Soul and CMT. He led the sales team in the development, presentation and execution of fully integrated, multi-platform ad programs for clients including General Motors, Ford Motor Company, DaimlerChrysler and the U.S. Navy. He joined MTV Networks in 1997 as account manager, national ad sales and was promoted to director, national ad sales in 2000. He was elevated to his most recent position in 2004. Before joining MTV Networks, Moran spent ten years in radio where he worked for WLTI-FM, WRDQ-FM and WLLZ-FM in Detroit.
Subsequent to the third quarter of 2007, Wizzard Media retained Virtus Media Sales to handle advertising sales on the West Coast with plans to tap into a wide range of brands including cutting-edge technology firms, popular energy drinks and hip clothiers as well as Hollywood film and television studios, all of which management believes are ideal marketers for podcast advertising.
Press
In the third quarter of 2007, Wizzard Media retained the public relations firm of INK to secure press placements and work closely with Wizzard's advertising public relations firm, Braff Communications. As a result, Wizzard secured mentions in The Hollywood Reporter, Billboard Magazine, CNet, Business 2.0, Online Media Daily, Media Post, Podcasting News, Cynopsis Digital, Forbes (AP), CNN Money, Business Week, Pittsburgh Business Times, and Pittsburgh Post Gazette.
Technology
In the third quarter of 2007, Wizzard's engineers finalized the development of a speech recognition and text-to-speech platform for podcast transcription and creation. Implementation into the entire Wizzard network will begin in the fourth quarter of 2007 along with the development of a front end search engine for both internal and external use.
In the third quarter of 2007, Wizzard’s computer engineers were extremely busy with the following tasks:
·
Completed a consolidated data delivery migration plan slated to save the company up to 35% on monthly bandwidth charges.
·
Implemented several new database initiatives speeding up statistical delivery for both internal and podcaster data expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2007.
·
Continued substantial development of a back office computer system to support advertising inventory management, podcast relations management and an advertising proposal system.
·
Launched a data warehouse project to handle the massive amount of statistical data collected in the process of podcast delivery.
Subsequently, in October, 2007, Wizzard's engineers completed the design and development of a new, highly targetable audio and video ad insertion technology. This advertising insertion system is state of the art with the ability to insert advertisements as pre-roll, post roll as well as inside the podcast itself to deliver advertisements in the traditional TV and radio formats as well as the ability to target specific cities, countries or regions around the world. The stitching of the podcast files is a very complex task and management believes this new advertising insertion system gives Wizzard Media advertising sales team a substantial competitive advantage.
Wizzard Media Receiver was launched in beta form for both the iPhone and Facebook platforms. This new software application allows individuals to receive their favorite podcasts while spending time on Facebook or using their iPhone. This application has been tested throughout the U.S. as well as Europe and continues to show great results. The launch of these applications supports Wizzard's plan to allow audiences to access their favorite podcast shows where they want, when they want and how they want.
Wizzard also announced that the latest version of the LibsynPRO 2.0 enterprise publishing service has been opened up to a small group of beta users. LibsynPRO is a media publishing solution for podcast networks, media companies and other businesses that need to manage multiple podcast shows under a single account. The same extensive level of scalability and 99.99% reliability continue to be the main components of the LibsynPRO system and the recently enhanced features include: Detailed statistics and time-sensitive reporting, a feature rich API for developers and an elegant and easy-to-operate interface for LibsynPRO’s advertising system. Difficult tasks like content insertion can be handled quickly and easily, with the ability to schedule customized campaigns in real-time. Wizzard Media’s partnership with Nielsen//NetRatings extends into the LibsynPRO system to ensure accurate reporting for users, agencies and advertisers.
Wizzard Media Overview
As of last count, one third of the Top 25 ranked podcasts in their respective categories in iTunes are broadcast by Wizzard Media. We handle over three million, five hundred thousand (3.58M) podcast requests per day for over 8,000 unique podcasts for a total of over fifteen million (15M) hours of monthly programming. These podcasts are consumed by millions of people around the world creating what management believes to be a very compelling platform for brand advertisers. We strongly believe that Wizzard Media is uniquely positioned to capture a significant portion of total advertising spending on podcasts for ourselves and our content creators as we offer a rich inventory of popular content to advertisers, strong consumption statistics and geographically targeted advertising capabilities. While there can be no future pricing guarantees, the podcasting industry is currently charging, and plans to continue to charge, between $0.03 and $0.05 per downloaded ad. ;The ads tend to be no longer than 15 seconds and several ads can be inserted in one podcast episode.
Podcasts are audio and video "shows" created by all types of people on standard personal computers. Currently, podcasts are 80% audio and 20% video and are similar in format to a radio or TV show. These shows average twenty minutes in length and range in topics from comedy to sports to fashion. Due to the thousands of different niche topics, podcasting’s ability to reach highly targeted audiences is a very appealing proposition for both national and local advertisers. Podcasts can be subscribed to for free and accessed through new media aggregators such as Apple's popular iTunes. Podcasts are listened to or watched on Apple’s iPod along with almost any MP3 player, Sony’s PlayStation Portable, many new cell phones, Tivo units, and can also be played online using a standard PC. Every time a new episode is released from the podcast creator (approximately three times per month), it is automatically downloaded to a subscriber’ s computer and can be transferred over to an iPod or MP3 player with ease. We have found this subscription model very appealing to advertisers as well. Podcasts provide a new and exciting medium for information and entertainment distribution. Podcasts are enjoyed by consumers around the world while at their computer, exercising, on airplanes, at the beach, in their cars or on the subway and with the introduction of Apple TV, sitting at home in their living room. One of the biggest reasons for the success of podcasting is due to the fact that, unlike traditional radio and television, consumers can enjoy podcast shows where they want, when they want, putting the control of media consumption back into the consumer’s hands.
Today, podcasts are found by consumers in various fragmented directories based on the short description that the podcaster inputs to describe their content. In order for viewers/listeners to find podcasts that are truly interesting to them they have to sort through long lists of shows. In addition to turning text-based online content (blogs) into audio files for podcasting purposes, Wizzard is working to
incorporate our highly accurate, server-based speech recognition technologies into the Wizzard Media network. Wizzard plans to simplify the search process by allowing audio and video podcasts to be automatically fed through its speech recognition system creating a transcript of each podcast. This feature will allow listeners to type in key words and find relevant podcasts based on the full content of each and every podcast episode.
Using our new WizzScribe speaker independent speech recognition product we can transcribe podcasts and use the resulting text to better index podcasts with popular search engines, to provide transcriptions for interested parties, to search for explicit content for compliance purposes and to assist advertisers in matching their brands with the appropriate content. With the rapid adoption of audio and video based content on the internet (Web 2.0), we see this new hosted speech recognition engine and text-to-speech service as a critical component in the monetization of audio/video businesses that are taking hold across the internet and around the world.
Wizzard Media will be the catalyst for attracting sponsors and advertising opportunities for the podcasts we currently broadcast using speech recognition to match advertisers with very specific, engaging shows, catering to a wide variety of mainstream and niche markets. Applying our geographical targeting capabilities we can find strong, relevant advertising opportunities for local businesses in addition to national brands, which is a significant revenue generating opportunity for Wizzard and for our content producers. Advertisers and consumers alike want relevant, focused advertisements, something clearly lacking in today's digital media offerings, yet can be accomplished using our combined technologies and skills. For example, if Ford Motor Company wants to advertise in all podcasts that discuss cars, a strategic search can be performed across the entire Wizzard Media network for all podcasts that discuss relative words at any place in the audio/video show, such as a utomobiles, trucks or minivans. Using dynamic advertisement insertion technology we can insert the ad in the front, the back or even at a very specific point inside the podcast where it is most relevant to the listener. Management believes this extreme targetability gives Wizzard Media a strong competitive advantage making it easier to attract advertisers and sponsors who want to successfully align their brand of products and services with high-value content and a targeted audience on our network. Management’s research shows that consumers don’t mind advertisements to support their favorite podcasts when those ads are interesting and relevant.
Wizzard Media is considered by many in the industry as the leader in the podcasting distribution business and as we introduce our speech technologies to our hosting services, we strongly believe we will be strategically positioned to maximize revenue generation for the shows we broadcast.
2. Speech Technology and Services Group
Wizzard Software's legacy Speech Technology and Services Group sells and licenses speech programming tools, related speech products and services, and distributable speech engines in over 13 languages worldwide. Wizzard receives the majority of its sales leads through arrangements with IBM and AT&T, as well as through our own internet marketing efforts through Google, Yahoo and other major internet search engines.
In the first nine months of 2007 our T&S Group has achieved a 3% increase in revenue over the first nine months of 2006. T&S Group continues to focus on our core Assistive Application and Medical Dictation markets and continues to add new customers in the ATM and Simulator categories throughout 2007. Alert/broadcasting, has continued to grow and additional inroads have been made with TTS in the deployment and development of dictionary and game applications. Significant prototyping activity has been accomplished in the dictation services industry using speech recognition and the protocol supportive attributes of our TTS offerings have been enhanced to support customer requests for large IVR type applications.
Management believes a shift in customer demand is underway from the purchase of stand alone speech engines to a more hosted services type offering. We believe we are well positioned to capture the growing demand for hosted speech solutions with our recently announced server based text to speech offerings as well as our server based speaker independent speech recognition products. With the recent acquisition of three hosting systems we now have the internal expertise and network platform to quickly begin offering hosted speech services. We expect to launch these new hosted speech services in the first quarter of 2008.
The Speech Technology and Services Group's immediate focus for the remainder of 2007 is to increase revenue and be a preferred supplier for speech technologies to large businesses worldwide, emphasize great technologies, competitive prices and high quality support to the speech development community as well as offering non-technical hosted speech conversion services to companies that have subscriber bases in fast growing market segments.
3. Speech Group - Healthcare
In the second quarter of 2007, Wizzard's Interim of Wyoming operation acquired certain assets of Professional Personnel Inc., a synergistic home healthcare business in close proximity of our current HHC operations. As a result, Interim of Wyoming's revenues were up 71% over the third quarter of 2006. Based in Casper, Wyoming and Billings, Montana, Interim Health Care of Wyoming has been serving its community for fifteen years and is part of the fast growing home health segment of the healthcare industry, providing a wide range of visiting nurse services to the elderly, wounded and sick. It is one of the 300 home health agencies that comprise Interim Health Care, the largest home healthcare franchise in the United States.
Both home care offices, Billings and Casper, have invested a great deal of time and effort into their respective conversions to the Interlink Software System. The process has been extremely labor intensive but has progressed to the point that it is operational in both offices. This system integrates scheduling, physician orders, employee data, billing, and payroll functions: eliminating duplicate efforts in day to day operations.
Billings continues to see progressive growth in the utilization of its staffing services. Internal operations have been given greater structure over the third quarter. Employee hiring process and record keeping have been fine tuned. Drug screening of employees upon hire and random quarterly screening have been implemented. Home care client files have been restructured improving timely communication in the office and maintaining the access to information in the home. Promotional activities are escalating as the offices experience stability in day to day operations and as we embark on a new business in Insurance Physicals.
Our home healthcare business continues to be a strong part of our business as our country's population ages and new methods of patient data capture become critical components for delivering high quality, affordable healthcare services in a patient's home. Although this has been a gradual process, we believe that we are building a solid business that will offer a complimentary package of new technology and traditional services. We are currently expanding our territory within the state of Wyoming as a result of the state's willingness to increase Medicaid payments by up to 30%, and we expect insurance providers within the state to follow suit.
Branded with the name "Rex," the Talking Prescription Bottle allows end-users to "hear" medication instructions when reading a medication label is not practical or possible. There are several billion prescriptions filled each year in the U.S. and pharmaceutical errors create billions of dollars of additional medical spending with the number one error being identified as labeling problems and education. Using unique microprocessor electronics and Wizzard's advanced text-to-speech offerings, pharmacists can automatically create a "talking" label while the traditional instruction label is being printed. At the push of a button, the prescription bottle talks to the patient, telling him or her the name of the medication, the dosage the patient should consume, the frequency of administration, refill instructions, warnings and other important information necessary to educate and help people take their prescription medication properly.
In the third quarter of 2007, Rex continued to see reorders from our current HMO customers in addition to expanded HMO territory. We expect our largest HMO customer to expand the use of the bottle and begin placing new orders in the fourth quarter of 2007. We plan to continue to work with legislators in several states that support legislation requiring pharmacies to carry assistive aid devices that help ensure patient safety. We have received attention and various levels of support from members of Congress at the Federal and State levels in conjunction with the proposed legislation in Maryland, California and continue discussions with the states of Alabama, Colorado, Connecticut, Hawaii, Kentucky, Louisiana, Nebraska, Ohio, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, Washington, and West Virginia. We continue to believe in the Talking Prescription Bottle as the ability of the elderly and visually impaired to fully comprehend prescription medication instructions is as necessary a s ever, and as new drugs are constantly introduced to the market and increasing medication combinations make following dosage instructions critical.
Results of Operations
Three Months Ended September 30, 2007 and 2006.

General and administrative expenses were $1,374,381 in 2007 versus $1,417,769 in 2006.

Cash used in operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, was $2,554,525, an increase of 149% over the $1,024,112 cash used in operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. Cash used in investing activities was $505,230 primarily for the acquisitions of Libsyn and PNPP during the nine months ended September 30, 2007.
In the first nine months of 2007, the Company received $677,319 from the issuance of common stock, and $7,500,000 net of $790,000 in offering cost from the issuance of Series A Preferred Stock. The Company used common stock to pay $2,241,333 in consulting, investor relations and employee services during the nine months ended September 30, 2007. In doing so, management believes we have conserved Wizzard's cash liquidity for operational and expansion purposes.
The Company believes it is still in the early stages of the new and developing speech technology market and podcast hosting services, and estimates it will require approximately $230,000 per month to maintain current operations and grow our podcasting business.
On July 9, 2007, the Company closed a Securities Purchase Agreement by which four institutional investors purchased for an aggregate purchase price of $7.5 million: a) 7,500 shares of the Company’s Series A 7% Convertible Preferred Stock, which can be convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $2.05 per share, and b) Common Stock Purchase Warrants to purchase a total of up to 1,829,268 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $2.85 per share, exercisable for a period of five years.
Holders of the Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive cumulative dividends of 7% per annum for the first two years after issuance of the Preferred Stock and 18% per annum thereafter, payable on January 1 and July 1, beginning on January 1, 2008, either in cash or, at the Company’s option, in shares of the Company’s common stock.
The Company will have the right to force conversion of all or part of the outstanding Preferred Stock, plus all accrued but unpaid dividends and liquidated damages due with respect to the Preferred Stock if, after the two-year anniversary of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement referred to below, the price of the Company’s common stock exceeds $6.15 for 10 consecutive trading days and the volume for each such trading day exceeds 100,000 shares of common stock.
Beginning two years after the issuance date of the Preferred Stock, the Company may also elect to redeem all (but not less than all) of the then outstanding Preferred Stock at a total price of: (i) 125% of the aggregate Stated Value then outstanding; (ii) accrued but unpaid dividends; and (iii) all liquidated damages and other amounts due with respect to the Preferred Stock. On the occurrence of certain Triggering Events as defined in Section 9(a) of the Articles of Amendment/Certificate of Designation with respect to the Preferred Stock, each holder will have the right to require the Company to redeem all of the holder’s Preferred Stock or to increase the dividend rate on that holder’s Preferred Stock to 18% per annum thereafter.
Safe Harbor Statement.
Statements made in this Form 10-QSB-A1 which are not purely historical are forward-looking statements with respect to the goals, plan objectives, intentions, expectations, financial condition, results of operations, future performance and business of the Company, including, without limitation, (i) our ability to gain a larger share of the podcasting, home healthcare and speech recognition software industries, our ability to continue to develop products and services acceptable to those industries, our ability to retain our business relationships, and our ability to raise capital and the growth of the podcasting, home healthcare and speech recognition software industries, and (ii) statements preceded by, followed by or that include the words "may", "would", "could", "should", "expects", "projects", "anticipates", "believes", "estimates", "plans", "intends", &qu ot;targets", "tend" or similar expressions.
Forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties, and important factors (many of which are beyond the Company's control) that could cause actual results to differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements, including the following, in addition to those contained in the Company's reports on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission: general economic or industry conditions, nationally and/or in the communities in which the Company conducts business, changes in the interest rate environment, legislation or regulatory requirements, conditions of the securities markets, changes in the podcasting, home healthcare and/or speech recognition technology industries, the development of products and/or services that may be superior to the products and services offered by the Company, competition, changes in the quality or composition of the Company's products and services, our ability to develop new products and services, our abili ty to raise capital, changes in accounting principals, policies or guidelines, financial or political instability, acts of war or terrorism, other economic, competitive, governmental, regulatory and technical factors affecting the Company’s operations, products, services and prices.
Accordingly, results actually achieved may differ materially from expected results in these statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. The Company does not undertake, and specifically disclaims, any obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of such statements.
Item 3. Controls and Procedures.
Our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act")), which we refer to as disclosure controls, are controls and procedures that are designed with the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this report, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms. Disclosure controls are also designed with the objective of ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any control system. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance that its objectives are met. No evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our company have been detected.
In connection with management’s assessment of the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, management identified a material weakness relating to its policies and procedures to insure the accuracy of the valuation and appropriate recording of compensation for the issuance of stock-based compensation and the extension of warrants was inadequate to
ensure the valuation and accuracy of recording compensation. As a result, the Company’s net loss was understated by $420,138 in the first quarter of 2007. This material weakness resulted in the reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our interim financial statements would not be prevented or detected, and resulted from not having a procedure in place to independently review the calculation of stock-based compensation and the extension of warrants. During 2008, the Company has implement the control procedure to have the compensation calculation for stock based compensation and the extension of the life of warrants reviewed by an individual, with adequate accounting expertise, and independent of the preparer of the original calculation.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.
No change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2007 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
