WIZZARD SOFTWARE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED 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 three 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. 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. 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 definite life intangible assets and goodwill. Actual results could differ from those estimated by management.
Reclassification – The financial statements for the period ended prior to March 31, 2012 have been reclassified to conform to the headings and classifications used in the March 31, 2012 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.
Accounts Receivable - Accounts receivable consist of trade receivables arising in the normal course of business. At March 31, 2012 and 2011, 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 years ended March 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, the Company adjusted the allowance for bad debt by $0, $0 and $0, respectively.
Marketable Securities - The Company classifies its marketable securities as available-for-sale. These marketable securities consist of corporate equity securities that are stated at market value. Unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities are reflected as other comprehensive income (losses), net of tax, in stockholders' equity. Realized gains and losses on all marketable securities are included in operations and are derived using the specific identification method for determining the cost of securities sold. It is the Company's intent to maintain a liquid portfolio to take advantage of investment opportunities; therefore, all marketable securities are classified as current assets and available for sale.
Depreciation - Depreciation of property and equipment is provided on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives.
WIZZARD SOFTWARE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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 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 8).
Advertising Costs - Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and amounted to $22,953 and $22,665 for the periods ending March 31, 2012 and 2011, 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. 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.
Unless otherwise disclosed, the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments including cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, accrued expenses and notes payable approximates their recorded values due to their short-term maturities.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Revenue Recognition - Revenue is recognized when earned. The Company's revenue recognition policies are in compliance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 985-605, Software — Revenue Recognition.

Software - The Company sells packaged and custom software products and related voice recognition product development consulting.

Provisions are recorded for returns, concessions, and bad debts and at March 31, 2012 and 2011 amounted to $0. Revenue 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.

The Company recognizes revenue from the insertion of advertisements in digital media, as the digital media with the advertisement is downloaded and collection is probable. The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of apps when the app is sold 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, and amount to $65,882 and $73,013, respectively for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011.
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 7. During the periods presented in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has granted options under its 2009 and 2010 defined stock option plans.

Non-cash compensation cost of $110,601 and $7,942 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 three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011.
Restatement - On February 23, 2012, the Company affected a 1 for 12 reverse stock-split. All references to stock issuances and per share data have been reflected in these financial statements.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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 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.

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:

At March 31, 2012, the Company had 497,738 warrants outstanding to purchase common stock of the Company at $2.64 to $6.00 per share, and the Company had 87,095 options outstanding to purchase common stock of the Company at $2.16 to $6.12 per share.
At March 31, 2011, the Company had 497,738 warrants outstanding to purchase common stock of the Company at $2.64 to $6.00 per share, the Company had 23,458 options outstanding to purchase common stock of the Company at $4.20 to $26.40 per share, and 7% cumulative Series A Preferred shares wherein the holder could convert the note into 625,000 shares of common stock which were not included in the loss per share computation because their effect would be anti-dilutive.
NOTE 9 - 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 tax accounting methods and any available operating loss or tax credit carryforwards. The Company has available at March 31, 2012 operating loss carryforwards of approximately $45,000,000 which may be applied against future taxable income and which expires in various years through 2031.
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 $18,000,000 as of March 31, 2012, with an offsetting valuation allowance of the same amount. The change in the valuation allowance for the three months ended March 31, 2012 approximated $400,000.
NOTE 10 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company is from time to time involved in routine legal and administrative proceedings and claims of various types. While any proceedings or claim contains an element of uncertainty, Management does not expect a material impact on our results of operations or financial position.

Highlights of First Quarter, 2012
Below is an update of our entire business, from our media business of podcasting and apps, where we expect most of our future growth to occur, to our legacy businesses of offering core speech recognition and text to speech engines and programming tools for software developers and home healthcare and staffing for the healthcare industry. Currently, our healthcare operations make up 54% of our revenue, but we expect our Media business to become our largest revenue generator at some point in the future and to 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 sale of Apps and paid subscriptions for content. 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 audiences showing increased interest in the medium. Wizzard believes that our network and relevance in our industry will continue to grow and that Wizzard is positioned to be one of the leading companies in the podcast monetization business.
1. WIZZARD MEDIA
Wizzard Media is the five-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. During the first quarter of 2012, the media segment experienced a 44% increase in revenue over the first quarter of 2011. Wizzard's publishing platform manages 11,179 clients. 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 first quarter of 2012, our total publishing service revenue, including data transfer, was $522,931 versus $348,694 in the first quarter of 2011. The total number of active episodes for the shows on the Wizzard Network was 988,551 in the first quarter of 2012, all of which are available for immediate distribution. With the continuing success of iPods, iPhones, iPads, Android’s mobile phones, and Blackberry’s smartphones, 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 78 network publishers in 2012. Wizzard Media derives a portion of its revenues through data transfer from PRO customers. During the first quarter of 2012, revenue from data transfer totaled $99,995.
WIZZARD MEDIA – PUBLISHING SERVICES
Hosting, Distribution Network, Content, Platform Development
The Wizzard Media network received over 3.44 million requests for shows per day throughout 2011. Our network reaches over 20 million people around the world, creating what Management believes is a strong media asset and a very compelling platform for advertisers as well as smartphone 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 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 the 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, for both download and video streaming. Approximately 70% of the shows Wizzard distributes’ reach audiences using Apple’s iTunes platform which includes iTunes on the computer, iPods, iPads, iPhones and Apple TV. It is Management’s opinion that the Wizzard Media 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 individual and network wide Apps.
Wizzard Media's technical development continued to improve upon its strong record of stability and performance in 2011 while forging ahead with new product and service offerings in the first quarter of 2012. The libsyn platform is well-positioned for continued scalable growth for both producers and consumers as new features and subscriptions are launched.
During the first quarter the development team focused on the development and launch of two major initiatives: Paid Subscription Services for Podcasts and the second phase of Facebook Integration with the Libsyn Facebook Timeline App.
The Paid Subscription Service, which was developed by Wizzard using paywall and secure media delivery technologies, enables top tier producers to serve and sell premium content. In Q1, the new subscription service was already managing over 17,000 consumer accounts. This offering also included the roll-out of new Premium web pages and an HTML5 media player on the libsyn platform as well as a consumer-facing subscription sign-up and management interface.
The team also launched the Podcast App for Facebook Timeline which allows the distribution of over 1,000,000 podcast episodes. The podcast directory allows publishers, friends, and fans to invite others to watch or listen to their podcast show within Facebook. This activity appears throughout the Facebook Timeline, NewsFeed and Ticker – enabling the spread of new episodes virally throughout the social network.
Several improvements and enhancements to the Podcast App offerings were made in Q1. In addition to support for Airplay, iOS5, enhanced media player support, user interface refinement, and search and discovery, Q1 2012 saw the implementation of a cross-platform, single sign-on that integrates with the Paid Subscription service. This adds
even more outlets for top producers to market their premium content, providing paid consumers access to their subscriptions across both the web and mobile platforms with one account.
The team also completed several network and infrastructure projects aimed to improve reliability and robustness of the overall service delivery platform. These included the integration of multiple CDNs and migration of origin storage. Both projects will improve reliability in the short term while reducing costs over the long term. These projects will serve as the foundation for improved service offerings and provide flexibility as podcast traffic moves to mobile devices and app-based content streaming.
WIZZARD MEDIA - APPS
Apps are small software applications that users can purchase and download to their Android, iPhone and iPod Touch mobile devices with relative ease. 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. During 2011, Wizzard continue its push on the Apps market using its podcast network and active podcasters to promote the Apps to consumers. Apple, Amazon and Google retain 30% of all App sales to cover the cost of running the App Store and App owners/developers receive 70% of the sales proceeds. Wizzard believes it can continue to generate revenue through the iTunes Store, Google Market Place and Amazon App Store are briefly outlined below.
Sale of Custom Podcast Apps
Wizzard created Apps that work on the iPhone and Android platforms and are currently for sale in the iTunes App Store, Google’s Market Place and Amazon’s App Store. Wizzard has approximately 2,456 Apps for sale in these three App Stores. Podcasters then market their very own App to their show’s audience, many of whom use iPhones, iPads, iPods and Android phones. Management believes podcasters can be very successful marketing Apps 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 Apps 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 offers Apps as a free monetization tool to podcasters on the Wizzard Network as long as they have a qualifying monthly account. Currently, there are approximately 11,200 shows on the Wizzard Network and approximately 20 million monthly audience members who consume podcasts. Wizzard submits each App for approval, which is not guaranteed and is based on the respective terms of service and approval process of the App Store, and manages the collecting of the revenue and distribution of the podcaster’s share of the revenues. Wizzard has submitted over 3,000 podcast Apps and has received approval for 2,519 Apps. Wizzard retains approximately 35% of the sale price that ranges from $.99 to $4.99 in most cases. During the first quarter of 2012, revenue from App sales totaled $86,257.
Wizzard developed a “Network App” which allows for hundreds of podcast Apps, inside one fully functional App. This is very similar to Amazon’s Kindle App that includes tens of thousands of books inside one App. This Network App, if accepted into the various App stores, allows us to: 1) continue our business plan to offer App monetization tools to all producers in a streamlined, efficient process; 2) comply with the continually evolving and sometimes inconsistent App approval standards and their desire not to have ‘cookie-cutter’ Apps for all 250,000 podcasts in iTunes in the App Store causing approval delays and rejections; 3) have more control over the actual marketing of the podcast Apps through expanded distribution of the Network App and cross promotional opportunities; 4) focus more time and attention on podcast shows with larger audiences that sell more apps than the smaller podcast shows. As a result of this change in ‘go to market’ strategy for iPhone Apps, Wizzard believes it could enhance revenues going forward due to the fact that we will have more control over the marketing of, wider distribution and more opportunities to generate revenues with a Network App. For example, we could include widespread targeted promotions for Groupon or provide offers allowing people to earn Facebook credits. For our Amazon App products, we plan to continue to create individual Apps for podcasts on our network and off network, focusing on podcasts with the largest audiences. As the Android Market continues to evolve, we may consider an option to create a Network App as the business model dictates.

Once a podcaster has successfully marketed an App to its audience and has created a significant install base, 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 micropayment platform in iTunes/iPhone/iPod Touch, Android and Google, the podcast audiences are willing to pay a nominal fee ($1.99), from time to time, for special episodes of their favorite podcast and even sign up for inexpensive subscriptions ($.99 a month; $8.99 for 12 months) 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 MEDIA - ADVERTISING
In 2011, Wizzard executed multiple national brand advertising campaigns for companies including Audible and Lego. These campaigns run across multiple shows, with different advertisers, resulting in $96,066of advertising revenue in the first quarter of 2012.
Wizzard’s Alchemy system is able to handle the insertion of advertisements into audio and video shows with geographical targeting capabilities, which was is for multiple advertising campaigns. Using the system, the Wizzard Media Network had the capability to deliver 1,251,621,377 advertisements in the first quarter of 2012 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 and the tables for download inventory (below) demonstrates to advertisers the reach of the Wizzard Media Advertising 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 51st campaign, demonstrating what Management believes is excellent back-end ad operational customer service on Wizzard's part and a satisfactory ROI for our clients.
Wizzard Media currently has 22 distinct ad categories we take to market. As the number of publishers joining Wizzard’s Advertising Network grows, so does the available advertising inventory for Wizzard’s advertising sales team to sell.

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 inserted 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 first quarter of 2012 Wizzard continued its Internet marketing efforts through major search engines and continues to modify it on a quarterly basis.
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 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. 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 seventeen years and is part of the 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, 54% for the first quarter of 2012, from its home healthcare and staffing operations.
During the first quarter of 2012, we experienced a 19% increase in revenue over the first quarter of 2011. This was driven by an increased use in our staffing services in our Billings location. At the same time our home healthcare service continued to provide a consistent stream of revenue during the first quarter of 2012.
As we begin 2012, as with most organizations in today’s economy, we are approaching our healthcare business with skeptical optimism. While the economy within Casper Wyoming appears to have been affected very little by the changes in the economy in the rest of the country, these conditions could change rapidly. As for our operation in Billings, Montana and its focus on the medical staffing industry, we anticipate another modest increase in the demand for our medical staffing services during the year. 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 solid 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.
Restatement - On February 23, 2012, the Company affected a 1 for 12 reverse stock-split. All references to stock issuances and per share data have been reflected in these financial statements.

The closing of the Share Exchange Agreement is subject to numerous contingencies, including, among other things, the approval of the acquisition by the Company’s stockholders, and the prior spin-off of Interim Healthcare of Wyoming to the Company’s stockholders, and there can be no assurance that any of these transactions will be successfully completed. The Company has set its annual meeting of stockholders for June 29, 2012, and on May 9, 2012, Interim filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a Registration Statement on Form S-1 with respect to the shares to be issued in connection with the spin-off. The execution of the Share Exchange Agreement was disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K dated April 5, 2012, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 10, 2012, and which is incorporated herein by reference.

Results of Operations
Three Months Ended March 31, 2012 and 2011.
During the first quarter ended March 31, 2012, Wizzard recorded revenues of $1,855,613, an 18% increase from revenues of $1,566,003 in the first quarter of 2011. The increase for the first quarter of 2012 reflects an increase in revenue from our Healthcare and Media Service, offset by a decrease in revenue in the Software segment.
Cost of goods sold totaled $967,913 in the first quarter of 2012, versus $867,170 in the first quarter of 2011. This increase of 12% is a direct result of the increased sales across the Healthcare and Media segments, while being off-set by a decreased in costs within our Software segment. Wizzard posted a gross profit of $887,700 during the first quarter of 2012, versus a gross profit of $698,833 in the first quarter of 2011, an increase of 27%.
In the first quarter ended March 31, 2012, operating expenses totaled $1,884,736 which was a 77% increase from operating expenses of $1,066,731 in the first quarter of 2011. Broken down by line item our operating expenses were:
Selling expenses in the first quarter of 2012 were $85,830 versus $58,921 in 2011, representing a $26,909 increase over the prior year. This increase was driven by efforts to strengthen our sales team to focus on obtaining apps and producers within our media segment.
Total general and administrative expenses were $973,451 in the first three months of 2012 versus $773,635 in the first three months of 2011, an increase of 26%. Broken into further detail, general and administrative expenses were $499,330 in 2012 versus $282,665 in 2011, an increase of 77%, driven by increases with multiple costs, which include, NYSE listing fees, legal fees for due diligence, travel expense for due diligence, and consulting fees for due diligence. Salaries, wages and related expenses decreased to $474,121 in 2012 from $490,970 in 2010, a decrease of 3%, driven by efforts to control costs and a decrease in non cash expense for vesting of stock options. Consulting fees increased to $759,573 in 2012 from $161,162, an increase of 371% due payment for consultants that were paid in stock and the increase- in the use of consultants in 2012 versus 2011. Research and Development expenses in the first quarter were $65,882 versus $73,013 in 2011, driven by a temporary decrease in our developer team members.
Other expenses of $194 versus $238,861 in the first quarter of 2011 consisted primarily of interest expense. This decrease is due to recording $243,876 for the re-pricing of equity instruments during the first quarter of 2011.
Wizzard's net loss available to common shareholders was $997,230, or $0.12 per share, in the quarter ended March 31, 2012. This represents a 64% increase from our net loss of $606,759, or $0.09 per share, in the first quarter of 2011. During the first quarter of 2012, non-cash expenditures totaled $840,453, a 213% increase from non-cash expenditures of $268,297 in the first quarter of 2011.

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 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.
As of March 31, 2012, 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 March 31, 2012 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.
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 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.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
Not required for smaller reporting companies.
