NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements - The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position at September 30, 2010, and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 have been made. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted acc ounting principles in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. The consolidated financial statements are consolidated and included the accounts of Wizzard and its wholly owned subsidiaries after the elimination of all significant intercompany balances and transactions. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's December 31, 2009 audited financial statements. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.
Organization - Wizzard Software Corporation ["Parent"], a Colorado corporation, was organized on July 1, 1998. The Company operates in three industry segments, Software, Healthcare and Media Services. The Software segment engages primarily in the development, sale, and service of custom and packaged computer software products. The Media Services provides podcast hosting, content management tools and advertising services. The Healthcare segment operates primarily in the home healthcare and healthcare staffing services in Wyoming and Montana. 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 February 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 digital media publishing services.
Consolidation - The consolidated financial statements presented reflect the accounts of Parent, Libsyn and Interim. Al l significant inter-company transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Accounting Estimates - The preparation of consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates for the Company include depreciation, amortization, allowances, valuation of stock options, and realization of goodwill. Actual results could differ from those estimated by management.
Reclassification – The financial statements for the period ended prior to September 30, 2010 have been reclassified t o conform to the headings and classifications used in the September 30, 2010 financial statements.
Cash and Cash Equivalents - The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At September 30, 2010, the Company had cash balances of $88,579 in excess of federally insured limits.
Accounts Receivable - Accounts receivable consist of trade receivables arising in the normal course of business. At September 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company has an allowance for doubtful accounts of $34,200 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 nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company ha d no change to the allowance for bad debt.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Depreciation - Depreciation of property and equipment is provided on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets of two to ten years.
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 Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 350, Intangibles Goodwill and Other. 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 Topic 350. Impairment losses arising from this impairment test, if any, are included in operating expenses in the period of impairment. Topic 350 requires that definite intangible assets with estimable useful lives be amortized over their respective estimated useful lives, and reviewed for impairment in accordance with Topic 360, criteria for recognition of an impairment 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 ASC 985 Software. 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 meet our internal needs were not material.
Loss Per Share - The Company computes loss per share in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 260 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 10).
Income Taxes - The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 740 Accounting for Income Taxes. This topic requires an asset and liability approach for accounting for income taxes. (see Note 11).
Advertising Costs - Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and amounted to $269,632 and $112,125 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments - The Company accounts for fair value measurements for financial assets and financial liabilities in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. The authoritative guidance, which, among other things, defines fair value, establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure for each major asset and liability category measured at fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis. Fair value is defined as the exit price, representing the amount that would either be received to sell an asset or be paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, the guidance establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
•
Level 1. Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
•
Level 2. Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and
•
Level 3. Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN
The accompanying 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. However, the Company has current liabilities in excess of current assets, 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 consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

NOTE 5 – FAIR VALUE
The Company measures the fair value of the warrants in accordance with ASC Topic 820 Fair Value, (formerly SFAS No. 157), which requires that a fair value measurement should be based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and establishes a fair value hierarchy that ranks the inputs used to measure fair value by their reliability. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy defined by ASC Topic 820 are as follows:
Level 1& #151;quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that a company has the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level 2—inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for similar assets or liabilities, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3—unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. Unobservable inputs are used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available, thereby allowing for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date.

NOTE 11 - INCOME TAXES
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 740 Income Taxes which 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 t ax accounting methods and any available operating loss or tax credit carryforwards. The Company has available at September 30, 2010 operating loss carryforwards of approximately $41,200,000 which may be applied against future taxable income and which expires in various years through 2030.
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.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL ST ATEMENTS
NOTE 11 - INCOME TAXES (Continued)
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 $18,100,000 as of September 30, 2010, with an offsetting valuation allowance of the same amount. The change in the valuation allowance for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 approximated $1,374,000.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis.
Highlights of Third Quarter, 2010
Below is an update of our business, from our most recent entry into Media with podcasting and mobile apps, where we expect most of our future growth to occur, to our legacy businesses of offering core speech engine tools for software developers and technology solutions for the healthcare industry. Currently, our healthc are operations make up 57% of our revenue, but we expect our Media business to become our largest revenue generator at some point in the near future and provide the largest revenue growth and profits. We believe this is due to the size of our podcast operations, our market leadership position, our substantial presence in iTunes and the potential monetization of the content we distribute through our publishing platform, advertising and the sale of Apps. The network growth of our media operation has occurred faster than initially expected and it is Management’s opinion that we are still in the early stages of growth for this industry as we are seeing the flow of quality content coming to the Internet increase at a rapid pace and advertisers and audiences showing increased interest in the medium. Wizzard believes that our network and relevance in our industry will continue to grow, and Wizzard is positioned as one of the leading companies in the media services business for podcast hosting , advertising and apps.
1. WIZZARD MEDIA
Wizzard Media is the three-year old division for our digital media and entertainment business. Wizzard Media is currently the industry’s largest network of independent and professional digital media publishers utilizing RSS (podcasting) as a distribution method. The Wizzard Network received over 450 million download requests for shows in 2006, 1 billion download requests in 2007 and 1.2 billion download requests in 2008 and 1.4 billion in 2009 from approximately 50 million total audience members throughout the year. In the third quarter of 2010, the Wizzard Network received 445 million download requests for episodes vs. 330 million download requests in the third quarter of 2009. Wizzard's publishing platform grew to 16,767 shows in the third quarter of 2010 from 15,782 at the end of the second quarter of 2010. Management believes that Wizzard Media offers the leading podcast publishing platform in the industry and is one of only a few podcast publishing platforms that are able to charge publishers for use of the service. The majority of podcast publishing platforms offer their service for free, in hopes of making money exclusively from advertising sales. Management believes that our ability to charge for the services we provide is a testament to the quality of service. In the third quarter of 2010, our total publishing service revenue, including data transfer, was $306,233 versus $256,702 in the third quarter of 2009. The total number of active episodes for the shows on the Wizzard Network was 1,076,274 in the third quarter of 2010, all of which are available for immediate distribution. With the continuing success of Apple's iTunes, iPad, iPod, iPhone and Apple TV, along with new Podcast platforms from RIM (BlackBerry) and others, we expect the number of content publishers using our service and the number of consumers watching the shows to continue to grow rapidly on an annual basis. Wizzard's LibsynPRO Enterprise service had 134 network publishers as of the end of the third quarter of 2010. As Wizzard Media derives a portion of its revenues through data transfer from PRO customers, a feature rich version of the PRO publishing platform provides Management with the tools to grow the number of PRO publishers and thereby revenues associated with our data transfer business. During the third quarter of 2010, revenue from data transfer totaled $64,215.
WIZZARD MEDIA – PUBLISHING SERVICES
Hosting, Distribution Network, Content, Platform Development
In the third quarter of 2010 the Wizzard Network received 445 million download requests for podcast episodes vs. approximately 3 30 million download requests in the third quarter of 2009, from a wide variety of distribution outlets to which Wizzard syndicates content. The Wizzard Media network received 4.8 million requests for shows per day in the third quarter of 2010. Our network reaches 17 million monthly unique people around the world, creating what Management believes is a strong media asset and a very compelling platform for advertisers as well as iPhone App sales. Download requests are calculated by counting the number of shows requested for download by audience members. Wizzard works to generate profits by inserting advertisements in the shows in partnership with the show’s publishers, charging for the use of our publishing platform and through the sale of customized podcast show Apps. As the online digital media industry is in the emerging stages, the majority of these shows are distributed without advertising and the total download requests listed above are provided to give an understanding of th e
potential size of advertising inventory available for Wizzard’s third party advertising partners and its in-house advertising sales team to fill.
Currently, Wizzard Media distributes digital shows for our producers to a variety of web portals and content aggregators (approximately 27 in all), for both download and video streaming, including: Wizzard.tv, SevenLoad, MySpace, Apple TV (Featured Provider), iTunes (Featured Provider), YouTube (Partner Channel), Google (Affiliate Network), Daily Motion (Featured Channel), Zune Marketplace, Blackberry Podcasts and MySpace (Featured Channel). Some of these channels were created solely to expand audience reach for our publishers and some to expand audience reach and generate revenues for Wizzard and our publishers through ad sales by the third party portal’s advertising sales team. Approximately 70% of the shows Wizzard distributes’ reach audiences using Apple’s iTunes platform which includes iTunes on the computer, iPod, iPad, Apple TV and the iPhone. It is Management’s opinion that the Wizzard Network’s substantial presence in the iTunes Podcast Store is one of the Company’s most valuable assets as consumers using iTunes are early adopters and spend money regularly on digital media. We believe this provides Wizzard with a unique offering for advertisers seeking that type of consumer and provides Wizzard with monetization opportunities for its podcast publishers through the sale of Apps.
Some of our clients are utilizing our media services and in turn we have the ability to bring advertising to their shows and create and sell Apps built for their shows. Others are obtaining ads themselves and utilizing our Ad Insertion and Ad Management te chnology, Alchemy, in addition to Wizzard having the opportunity to bring advertising to their shows and create and market Apps for their show. Then, there are publishers for which we are distributing their content and in turn, we have the ability to license the content to a third party and/or bring advertising to their shows. Any revenue generated from obtaining advertising, selling Apps or the licensing of the content is shared with the publisher of the show.
Wizzard Media's technical development team continues to make significant accomplishments in terms of maintaining and expanding our publishing platform. Wizzard’s development team continues to provide all the features of the classic Libsyn indie system in support of the migration of users from the old platform to the Libsyn3 platform and increased support for the podcast companion App to allow for new features of monetization options.
The third quarter of 2010 was focused on scaling the libsyn3 platform to accept an influx of shows brought in via new user signups and migrations from the legacy libsyn indie system- nearly doubling the number of shows on the platform. Support was given a much higher priority over new feature development in the publishing system with one minor software release and a number of software patches deployed to correct bugs and add small enhancements in response to support related issues, iPhone app expansion, and system stability.
We also focused on scaling the IOS App Platform during the third quarter of 2010, with the number of apps in the iTunes App store taking precedence over new feature development. We implemented three minor releases of the 1.7 generation of the platform to further refine and enhance the functionality of audio content, improved experience with push notifications, and banner ad system integration.
We also began development of an Android App Platform comparable podcast app for the Android OS with completion of a 1.0 version scheduled for Q4.
WIZZARD MEDIA - APPS
In 2009, Management took note of the extremely successful launch of the iTunes App Store by Apple. Apps are small software applications that users can purchase and download to their iPhone and iPod Touch mobile devices with relative ease. There are over 250,000 Apps in the App Store that have been downloaded by consumers billions of times. App categories include video games, sports, productivity, entertainment, education and health & fitness. Some of these Apps are free, while others have to be purchased. These Apps range in price from $.99 to $100.00, with the average price under $4.99. Wizzard has aggressively entered the Apps market du e to the fact that approximately 70% of podcast audiences come from the iTunes Podcast Store, and Management believes this same audience makes up a portion of the consumers purchasing and downloading Apps from the iTunes App Store. In fact, Wizzard is of the belief through experience in the podcasting business, knowledge of the podcasting consumer and survey results from podcast audiences, that the average podcast consumer is a ‘hard core’ iTunes platform user. Therefore, they are more likely to have the latest iPod Touch, iPad and/or iPhone from Apple. Apple retains 30% of
all App sales to cover the cost of running the App Store and App owners/developers receive 70% of the sales proceeds. While Wizzard’s efforts in the App Store marketplace are still in the early stages, we believe it is an obvious expansion of our podcasting bu siness and the ways Wizzard believes it can generate profits through the newly launched iTunes App Store are briefly outlined below.
Sale of Custom Podcast Apps
Wizzard created an App for sale in the iTunes App Store that can be customized quickly for the most popular podcast producers. Podcasters then market their customized App to their show’s audience, many of whom are iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch users. Management believes podcasters can be very successful marketing a customized iPhone App to their audience, as they know their audience better than anyone else and are great influencers of their audience. The reasons Management believes an audience member would want to purchase an App for a specific podcast are: 1) Easier, faster access to the content. 2) Bonus content exclusively for App users. 3) Inexpensive and easy way to support their favorite podcasts. 4) Social communication features.
Wizzard now provides this App as a free tool to select podcasters on the Wizzard Network. Currently, there are approximately 16,767 podcast shows on the Wizzard Network and 17 million audience members, of which approximately 70% use iTunes to consume podcasts. Wizzard submits a custom App to the iTunes App Store for approval, which is not guaranteed and is based on Apple’s terms of service and approval process, and will manage the collecting of the revenue from Apple and distribution of the podcaster’s share of the revenues. Wizzard retains approximately 35% of the sale price for podcast Apps that range from $.99 to $4.99 in most cases. Wizzard has submitted 816 customized podcast Apps and has received approval for 712 Apps. These Apps are being sold in 71 countries around the world via Apple’s App Store. Wizzard is currently working to expand thi s offering to Google’s Android platform and App marketplace.
Sale of Podcast Subscriptions and Episodes Via Custom Podcast Apps
Once a podcaster has successfully marketed a custom App to its audience and has created a significant install base, Management believes that from time to time the podcaster can offer new content on a subscription basis or release a special episode, in addition to its normal podcast episodes, and charge a nominal fee ($1 - $3) for that episode to its audience. By having a successful, extremely easy to use (no credit card info has to be entered if they already have an iTunes account; just two clicks of a button) micropayment platform in iTunes/iPhone/iPod Touch, Management believes that podcast audiences will be willing to pay a nominal fee ($1.99), from time to time, for special episodes of their favorite podcast and even sign up for i nexpensive subscriptions ($1.99 a month) of new content. Wizzard earns a portion of the subscription and episode revenue for administering the App account and delivering the content to the consumer. Wizzard is currently testing in-App purchasing on select Apps in the App Store, and Management believes it will play a significant role in generating Podcast App revenues in the future.
Marketing of Apps Via Podcasts
One of the most vocal complaints from iPhone App owners/developers regarding the iTunes App Store is the lack of marketing opportunities for their App within the iTunes App Store from which they are sold. iTunes does not accept paid marketing in any fashion, unlike most traditional retail and online stores who heavily encourage in-store marketing. As a result, the only effective way an App owner/developer can generate substantial sales for its Ap p is by landing in a ‘Top 100 List’ maintained by the App Store and readily viewable on the iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad and in iTunes by the App consumer. If an App is not in the Top 100 List, or falls off the Top 100 List, sales tend to be minimal. There are a few 3rd party iPhone ‘in App’ overlay advertising networks that give App owners/developers the opportunity to market their App through Apps that are downloaded for free, but it is Management’s opinion, based on conversations with numerous App owners/developers as well as market research, that these ‘in App’ overlay advertising networks are not effective in terms of marketing an App and increasing sales. As a result, due to the fact that Wizzard has access through its presence in the iTunes Podcast Store to what Management believes is the same consumer base that purchase Apps from the iTunes App Store, the Company believes it has a solution to this problem.
Currently, Wizzard distributes approximately 4 million podcasts per day and has a tremendous amount of available advertising inventory that can be used to market third party Apps. Wizzard receives approximately 35% of the
revenue for every App sold through this effort. As this process grows, this could cause Wizzard to become the largest ‘advertiser’ on the Wizzard Network.
WIZZARD MEDIA - ADVERTISING
Wizzard continues to execute advertising campaigns for companies including JC Penney, Merit Financial and Audible. These campaigns run across multiple shows, bringing the total number of advertising campaigns launched to 115, with 26 different advertisers and 86.4 million ad impressio ns. In the third quarter of 2010, Wizzard delivered 10.4 million ad impressions, with $184,243 of advertising revenue year to date through the third quarter of 2010.
Our Alchemy technical advertising insertion system is able to handle the insertion of advertisements into audio and video shows with geographical targeting capabilities. Using the Alchemy system, the Wizzard Media Network had the capability to deliver over 648,339,142 advertisements in the third quarter of 2010 if 2.5 advertisements were placed in every podcast request downloaded from the network. In order to increase the percentage of filled advertising inventory we must continue to execute on our advertising sales strategy, integrate third party ad networks and portals and create relationships with more advertising agencies and their clients. The advertising capabilities number mentioned above demonstrates to advertisers the reach of the Wizzard Media Advertisi ng Network as most advertisers want to see the opportunity for large advertising campaigns when considering a new medium for their marketing plans. Management believes that most advertisers prefer to deal with a few companies with large reach rather than many companies with smaller reach as it makes their advertising ‘buys’ and tracking easier to monitor.
Client results of our largest advertising execution to date were excellent in Management's opinion and we expect more buys from the client in the future. We have now had multiple advertisers renew campaigns with Wizzard including one advertiser that is on its 30th campaign, demonstrating what Management believes is excellent back-end ad operational customer service on Wizzard's part and a satisfactory return on investment for our clients.

December and January are historically strong months for downloads. June, July and August are historically slower months for downloads. Management believes that the above numbers demonstrate to advertisers the reach of the Wizzard Media network as most advertisers want to see the opportunity for large advertising campaigns. Management believes that most advertisers prefer to deal with a few companies with large reach rather than many companies with smaller reach as it makes their advertising ‘buys’ and tracking easier to monitor. 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). While there can be no future pricing guarantees, the industry is currently charging, and plans to continue to charge, between $.01 and $.005 per downloaded ad. The advertisements tend to be no longer than 15 to 30 seconds and several ads can be insert ed in one twenty-minute episode.

2. SPEECH TECHNOLOGY & SERVICES GROUP
Wizzard Software's legacy Speech Technology & 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 third quarter of 2010 Wizzard continued its Internet marketing efforts through major search engines and continues to modify it on a quarterly basis.
While our T&S Group saw a strong third quarter of 2010, we experienced a 10% decrease in revenue over the third quarter of 2009 as a result of a very strong third quarter of 2009 as well as customers delaying purchasing decisions until the 4th quarter of 2010. The T&S Group continues to focus its efforts on core assistive application, website audio and alert systems. The website audio file distribution category currently shows the most promise for expanded business going forward.
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 s upport to the speech development community and offer non-technical hosted speech conversion services to companies that have subscriber bases in fast growing market segments. There can be no guarantee that customers will be willing to pay Wizzard for these services.
3. 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. Wizzard currently derives the bulk of its revenues, 57% for the first nine months of 2010, from its home healthcare and staffing operations. As was the case with most industry segments , the medical industry felt the slowing of the economy in 2009. As a result, our staffing business in Billings, Montana has continued to experience a significant decrease in utilization of our services from the hospitals and nursing homes through the third quarter of 2010. This
is driven by a decrease in the census (number of patients) utilizing these facilities. We continue to take the necessary steps to position ourselves in preparation of an upturn in the census for these facilities as the economy recovers resulting in an increase in the use of our services. At the same time our home healthcare service continues to be strong and provides a consistent stream of revenue through the third quarter of 2010.
As we proceed through 2010, as with most organizations in today’s econo my, we are approaching our healthcare business with restrained optimism. As for our operations in Billings, Montana and its focus on the medical staffing industry, we anticipate a possible modest increase in the demand for our medical staffing services for the remainder of 2010. As such, we will continue to evaluate opportunities to expand the realm of services we offer. Promotional activities are being managed as the offices experience fluctuations in the day-to-day operations and as we embark on new business opportunities.
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. Recruiting and retaining nurses continues to be one of the biggest challenges for our home healthcare business in our Casper location, and we plan to continue our aggressive marketing efforts to satisfy our customers' demands.
Results of Operations
Three months ended September 30, 2010, and 2009.
During the third quarter ended September 30, 2010, Wizzard recorded revenues of $1,472,121, a 6% increase from revenues of $1,384,218 in the third quarter of 2009. The increase for the third quarter of 2010 reflects an increase in revenue within our Healthcare and Media segments due to a modest increase in the economy, but primarily due to an increase in our hosting and Apps revenues within our media segment. In the third quarter of 2010 our Media business saw an increase in revenues of 16%.
Cost of goods sold totaled $946,497 in the third quarter of 2010, versus $852,547 in the third quarter of 2009. This increase of 11% is a direct result of the increase in sales of our products and services during the third quarter of 2010 especially within our Media segment. Wizzard posted a gross profit of $525,624 during the third quarter of 2010, versus a gross profit of $531,671 in the third quarter of 2009, a decrease of 1%.
In the third quarter ended September 30, 2010, operating expenses totaled $1,204,491 which was an 11% decrease from operating expenses of $1,347,526 in the third quarter of 2009. Broken down by line item our operating expenses were:
Selling expenses in the third quarter of 2010 were $204,436 versus $114,187 in 2009, representing a 79% increase over prior year. This increase was driven by our marketing ef forts to increase producers and the number of Apps within our Media segment and increased focus on investor relations services during the third quarter.
General and administrative expenses were $758,682 in 2010 versus $832,475 in 2009, a decrease of 9%, due to measures taken to reduce costs. Salaries, wages and related expenses decreased to $484,421 in 2010 from $476,439 in 2009, an increase of 2%. Consulting fees decreased to $168,009 in 2010 from $294,457, a decrease of 43% due to the fair market value decrease of the stock for consultants that were paid in stock and the decrease in the use of consultants in 2010 versus 2009. Research and Development expenses in the third quarter were $73,364 versus $106,417 in 2009.
Other expense of $91,857 versus other expense of $692,394 in the third quarter of 2009 consisted primarily of interest expense. This decrease is due to recording $2 55,322 of non-cash interest expense for re-pricing of warrants during the third quarter of 2009, and $392,328 of non-cash interest expense for the accretion of the discount on notes payable during the third quarter of 2009.

third quarter of 2009. During the third quarter of 2010, non-cash expenditures totaled $143,118, an 84% decrease from non-cash expenditures of $909,194 in the third quarter of 2009.

During the nine month period ended September 30, 2010, Wizzard recorded revenues of $4,091,721, a 10% increase over revenues of $3,723,710 for the same period in 2010. The increase for the first nine months of 2010 reflects an increase in revenue due to the modest return of the economy, but primarily due to an increase in our services and Apps revenues within our Media segment.
In the nine months ended September 30, 2010, cost of goods sold totaled $2,632,640, a 8% decrease as compared to $2,437,349 in the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The increase is a direct result of the increase in sales of our products and services during the 2010, primarily within our Media segment.

Consulting fees decreased to $511,555 in 2010 from $819,077, a decrease of 38% due to the fair market value decrease of the stock for consultants that were paid in stock and the decrease in the use of consultants.
Selling expenses in the first nine months of 2010 were $417,807 versus $473,425 in 2009. This 12% decrease was due our efforts to focus on controlling cost and spending during 2010, especially within our media services division. Research and Development expense increased to $246,714 in the first nine months of 2010 from $222,803 in the first nine months of 2009.

Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. Our ability to continue as a going concern is substantially dependent on the successful execution of many of the actions referred to above, on the timeline contemplated by our plans. The uncertainty of successful execution of our plan, among other factors, raises substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
Not required for smaller reporting companies.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
(a) | Evaluation of Disclosure 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 tha t 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.
As of September 30, 2010, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of such date, the design and operation of these disclosure controls were effective to accomplish their objectives at the reasonable assurance level.
(b) | 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, 2010 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
On April 8, 2010, the Company was served with a summons and complaint in the matter of GHS Entertainment, Inc., vs. Skip Fredricks et al., which was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, Southern Division, on March 9, 2010. The Company was named as a defendant in the action, along with Skip Fredricks; Skip Fredricks TV, Inc.; and Apple Inc. The complaint alleges, among other things, that websites operated by the Company have engaged in the unauthorized reproduction, distribution and public display of certain copyrighted works that the plaintiff alleges that it owns. The complaint alleges copyright infringement, removal or alteration of copyright man agement information, United Kingdom copyright infringement and Canadian copyright infringement against the Company and seeks an injunction, actual damages and disgorgement of profits derived from the alleged unlawful use of the copyrighted material, an accounting of profits, and statutory damages, as well as costs, interest and attorney’s fees.
The Company has removed the subject content from its websites and has derived little or no revenue from such content. Management believes that the amount involved in this matter is not material, and the Company submitted its responsive pleading and intends to vigorously defend itself in this matter as it has an Asset Purchase Agreement granting it distribution rights with respect to the subject content. Pursuant to that agreement, which was dated January 20, 2008, Skip Fredricks, the seller of the content, agreed to indemnify Wizzard for up to $1,000,000 for any and all liabilities arising out of or relating to the purchased assets and accruing prior to the closing of the agreement. Subsequent to the third quarter, the Company has had settlement discussions with the plaintiff and while no final terms have been agreed to, the proposed settlement terms would not be considered substantial or material.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
Not required for smaller reporting companies.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
The following table provides information about all "unregistered" and "restricted" securities that Wizzard has sold during the three month period ended September 30, 2010, which were not re gistered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"):
