WIZZARD SOFTWARE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

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 March 31, 2009, and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 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 accounting 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, 2008 audited financial statements.  The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 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 segment operates primarily in digital media publishing 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. All 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 March 31, 2009 have been reclassified to conform to the headings and classifications used in the March 31, 2009 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 March 31, 2009, the Company had cash balances of $264,315 in excess of federally insured limits.


Accounts Receivable - Accounts receivable consist of trade receivables arising in the normal course of business. At March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, 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 three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company had no change to the allowance for bad debt.




WIZZARD SOFTWARE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

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 "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 - 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 meet 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 9).


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).


Advertising Costs - Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and amounted to $24,708 and $51,100 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, 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.


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




 WIZZARD SOFTWARE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

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.  Revenue is recognized, net of discount and allowances, at the time of product shipment. Provisions are recorded for bad debts and at March 31, 2009 and 2008 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. 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.


Media Services – Digital media publishing services are billed on a month to month basis.  The Company recognizes revenue from providing digital media publishing services when the services are provided and when 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.


Research and Development Cost - The Company expenses the cost of developing new products as incurred as research and product development costs, and amount to $6,218 and $35,253, respectively for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008.


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 8.


During the periods presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company has granted options under its 2005, 2007 and 2008 defined stock option plans. The Company accounts for options in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123R using the modified-prospective transition method and the disclosures that follow are based on applying SFAS No. 123R.  Non-cash compensation cost of $23,970 and $157,516 have been recognized for the vesting of options granted to employees and directors with an associated recognized tax benefit of $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Non-cash compensation cost of $69,474 and $136,920 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, 2009 and 2008.  


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 10 - 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, 2009 operating loss carryforwards of approximately $29,300,000 which may be applied against future taxable income and which expires in various years through 2029.


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 $12,900,000 as of March 31, 2009, with an offsetting valuation allowance of the same amount.  The change in the valuation allowance for the three months ended March 31, 2009 approximated $497,000.

Item 2.   Management's Discussion and Analysis.


Highlights of First Quarter, 2009


Our business, for the last thirteen years, has been focused on the speech recognition technology industry.  As a result of our commitment to speech technologies, we have been able to position ourselves as a leader in the fastest growing digital media aggregation, syndication and monetization industry currently taking shape on the Internet. Below is an update of our entire business, from our most recent entry into digital media 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 healthcare operations make up 59% of our revenue, but we expect our digital media publishing business to become our largest revenue generator at some point in 2009 or early 2010, and provide the largest revenue growth in the future.  We believe this due to the size of our digital media operations, our market leadership position, our substantial presence in iTunes and the potential monetization of the content we distribute through advertising and sales.  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.  At this time, paid search advertising is the largest and most profitable segment of the internet advertising industry (Google, Yahoo, etc), but Management believes the digital media advertising segment has the potential over the next five years to grow into the largest segment of the Internet advertising industry.  Wizzard believes that our network and relevance in our industry will continue to grow by leaps and bounds and that Wizzard is positioned to be one of the leading companies in the digital media monetization business.  


1.     WIZZARD MEDIA


Wizzard Media is the two-year old division for our digital media business.  Wizzard Media is currently the industry’s largest network of independent and professional digital media publishers utilizing RSS as a distribution method.  The Wizzard Network received over 2.2 billion download requests for shows over the last two years from over 50 million unique audience members.  In the first quarter of 2009, the Wizzard Network received 380,124,773 download requests for episodes vs. approximately 275,000,000 download requests in the first quarter of 2008, an increase of 38%. Wizzard's publishing platform grew by over 3,000 new podcast shows in the first quarter of 2009 versus 1,268 in the first quarter of 2008.  The audience consuming podcasts from the Wizzard Network grew from 15 million unique audience members at the end of 2008 to 18.3 million uniques over the course of the first quarter of 2009.  The total number of active episodes for the shows on the Wizzard Network grew from 609,000 as of the end of the fourth quarter of 2008 to 667,000 in 2009, an increase of approximately 57,000 episodes available for immediate distribution. With the continuing success of Apple's iPod, iPhone and Apple TV, along with RSS aggregators from Adobe and others, Wizzard expects the number of content publishers using our service and the number of consumers watching the shows we distribute to continue to grow on an annual basis.  The total number of episodic digital shows published through Wizzard Media grew to over 20,000 in 2009.  Wizzard's LibsynPRO Enterprise service grew to 91 networks in 2009, up from less than 35 in the first quarter of 2008.  Management believes that Wizzard Media offers the best 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 offered and expects to see revenue growth from these services in the second and third quarter of 2009.  In the first quarter of 2009, our total publishing service revenue, including data transfer, was $239,456.  Wizzard continues to receive positive feedback from major media publishers for our LibsynPRO Enterprise publishing platform.  As Wizzard Media derives a portion of its revenues through data transfer from PRO customers, operating 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.  Through the first quarter of 2009, revenue from data transfer alone totaled $42,550.  Below is a more detailed breakout of the information above.


     Wizzard Media - Distribution


In the first quarter of 2009 the Wizzard Network received 380,124,773 download requests for podcast episodes vs. approximately 275,000,000 download requests in the first quarter of 2008, from a wide variety of distribution outlets




to which Wizzard syndicates content.  The Wizzard Media network received over 4,223,609 requests for podcasts per day in the first quarter of 2009.  Our network averaged over 18.3 million unique people around the world in the first quarter of 2009, up from 15 million people at the end of the fourth quarter of 2008, creating what Management believes is a strong media asset and a very compelling platform for advertising and marketing.  Download requests are calculated by counting the number of shows requested for download by audience members using sophisticated in-house filters and third party measurement services.  Wizzard works to generate revenue by inserting advertisements in the shows in partnership with the show’s publishers.  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 (approximately 27 in all), for both download and video streaming, including: Wizzard.tv, Veoh.com, Apple TV (Featured Provider), iTunes (Featured Provider), YouTube (Partner Channel), Google (Affiliate Network), Adobe Media Player, Daily Motion (Featured Channel), Zune Marketplace and MySpace (Featured Channel).  In the first quarter of 2009, Wizzard added SevenLoad and MySpace to its distribution points.  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 3rd party portal’s advertising sales team. Approximately 70% of the shows Wizzard distributes reaches audiences using Apple’s iTunes platform which includes iTunes on the computer, iPod, 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 other monetization opportunities for its publishers of digital media.  


In the first quarter of 2009, Wizzard focused its 3rd party video streaming distribution efforts on our revenue sharing partnership channels with YouTube and MySpace.  Management determined that it was in the Company’s best interest to focus the majority of our 3rd party distribution efforts on two large platforms in terms of audience reach and the third party’s ability to bring advertisements to their own video site.  Wizzard Management believes it will be able to report the success of this new focus on the two largest video portal relationships once it has received its first set of reports from these partners during the second quarter, but we expect third party ad sales to be minimal at first as Wizzard posts new content to the partner channels and builds audiences for the various shows.   


     Wizzard Media - Advertising


In the first quarter of 2009, Wizzard executed multiple national advertising campaigns for companies including Direct TV, Office Max, and US Navy.  These campaigns run across multiple shows, bringing the total number of advertising campaigns launched in 2009 to 28 with 16 different advertisers, and 9.4 million ad impressions, resulting in $75,145 in 2009 advertising revenue.  In the first quarter of 2009, Wizzard had its best quarter to date in terms of advertising impressions delivered with 9.4 million versus 8.8 million ads delivered in the fourth quarter of 2008 and 5.5 million ads delivered in the third quarter of 2008.  A portion of this increase in ad impressions is due to the Company’s recent partnership with Ando Media.  The campaigns mentioned above are a combination of brand ads sold directly by Wizzard, direct response ads and remnant ads provided by third party networks.  In the first quarter of 2009, due to the global economic recession, the majority of the ad impressions were the lower paying remnant ads provide by third party networks as brand advertisers continued to significantly reduce advertising spending across all advertising categories.  Management believes that this will revert back to a higher brand ad sales ratio as economic conditions improve.    


In 2008, Wizzard launched a new technical advertising insertion system, Alchemy, able to handle the insertion of advertisements into audio and video shows with geographical targeting capabilities, which can be used for multiple advertising campaigns across the Wizzard Network.  Using the new system, the Wizzard Media Network had the capability to deliver over 950,311,932 advertisements in the first quarter of 2009 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 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. Wizzard continues its efforts to increase advertising fulfillment with a goal to fill 20% of all available inventory for any given quarter at some point in the next year.


Client response to our advertising execution to date has been positive in Management's opinion and we continue to expand our services and brand to advertising agencies as the podcasting network of choice when considering podcast advertising.  Wizzard’s ad sales team has been aggressively courting media buyers through extensive education sessions raising awareness of digital media advertising opportunities delivered via subscribable, episodic RSS (podcast) as well as streaming via the Internet.  We have now had multiple advertisers renew campaigns with Wizzard including one advertiser that is on its fifteenth campaign demonstrating what Management believes is excellent back-end ad operational customer service on Wizzard's part and a satisfactory ROI for our clients.


As of March 31, 2009, 893 publishers have signed up for Wizzard's advertising network.  Wizzard Media currently has 22 distinct ad categories we take to market.  Our efforts to date have been focused on the top 574 shows using our publishing platform that represent 88.6% of our global download requests. Of these 574 shows, 319 have signed up for the Wizzard advertising network representing 73.6% of the most coveted traffic for advertising sales. Wizzard will continue to aggressively market our advertising network to the remaining 26% of the desired publishers not yet signed up through our Publisher Relations team.  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, January and February 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 and shareholders the reach of the Wizzard Media network as most advertisers want to see the opportunity for large advertising campaigns and shareholders want to see revenue potential.  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 $.04 per downloaded ad.  The advertisements tend to be no longer than 15 to 30 seconds and several ads can be inserted in one average twenty-minute episode.

December, January and February are historically strong months for downloads. June, July and August are historically slower months for downloads. While there can be no future pricing guarantees, the industry average is $.01 and $.04 per downloaded ad.  In order to win new business, at times, our ad sales force will give first time discounts in the per download price and we will use remnant ad networks to fill unsold ad inventory which tends to have a lower per download ad price.  The advertisements tend to be no longer than 15 to 30 seconds and several ads can be inserted in one twenty-minute episode.


     Wizzard Media – Apps


In the first quarter of 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 currently over 35,000 Apps in the iPhone App Store that have been downloaded by consumers over 1 billion times in less than 10 months.  App categories include video games, sports, productivity, entertainment, education and health & fitness.  Some of these Apps are free, while some are paid.  The paid Apps range in price from $.99 to $100.00, with the average price under $4.99.  Wizzard is currently exploring the Apps market on several fronts due to the fact that approximately 70% of podcast audiences comes from the iTunes Podcast Store and Management believes this same audience makes up a portion of the consumer’s 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 and/or iPhone from Apple.  The average iPod Touch and iPhone user has downloaded 23 Apps according to mainstream media survey reports.  Piper Jaffray’s Financial Analyst, Gene Munster, is projecting total App Store revenue of $780 million in 2009 for Apple.  Apple retains 30% of all App sales to cover the price 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 business and the three ways Wizzard believes it can generate profits through the newly launched iTunes App Store are briefly outlined below.  


Sale of Custom Podcast Apps


Wizzard is in the process of creating an App for sale in the iTunes App Store that can be customized in as little as 30 minutes for each of our top podcast producers.   Podcasters would then market their very own customized App to their show’s audience, many of who are iPhone/iPod Touch users.  Management believes podcasters can be very successful marketing their own customized iPhone App to their audience, as they know their audience better than anyone else and are great influencers of their audience.  This would encourage audiences of a specific podcast to purchase the customized App for their favorite show from the iTunes App Store.  The reasons Management believes an audience member would want to purchase an App for a specific podcast are: 1) Easier access to the content.  2) Extra episodes of their favorite podcast show exclusively for App users. 3) Inexpensive and easy way to support their favorite podcasts.  4) Other benefits such as ‘flash cards’ that go along with a language learning podcast or special discounts on new products reviewed by a technology podcast exclusively for App users.  


Wizzard will provide this App as a free tool to podcasters on the Wizzard Network beginning with the podcasts that have the largest audience and eventually opening it up to every podcaster on the network.  Currently, there are approximately 20,000 podcasts on the Wizzard Network and approximately 18.3 million audience members, of which approximately 70% us iTunes.  Wizzard will submit each custom App to the iTunes App Store for approval, which can’t be guaranteed and is based on Apples 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 expects to retain approximately 35% of the sale price that will range from $.99 to $2.99 in most cases.  


Sale of Podcast Episodes Via Custom Podcast Apps


Once a podcaster has successfully marketed their own custom App to their audience and has created a significant install base, Management believes that from time to time the podcaster can release a special episode, in addition to their normal podcast episodes, and charge a nominal fee ($.99) for that episode to their audience via their custom App provided by Wizzard.  The technical ability to charge for episodes is being created by Apple and released to their iPhone App Store developers in July of 2009.  By having a successful, extremely easy to use (no credit card info has to be entered if they already have an iTunes account; just two clicks of a button) micropayment platform in iTunes/iPhone/iPod Touch, Management believes that podcast audiences will be willing to pay a nominal fee ($.99), from time to time, for special episodes of their favorite podcast.

   

Licensing and 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 their App is by landing in a ‘Top 100 List’ maintained by the App Store and readily viewable on the iPhone 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 in other 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 strong solution to a growing business problem.


Wizzard is in the early stage of licensing iPhone/iPod Apps from their owners/developers exclusively for the iTunes platform and marketing them to consumers via the podcasts Wizzard distributes through the iTunes Podcast Store in a direct response type advertising method.  Currently, Wizzard distributes over 4.2M podcasts per day and has a tremendous amount of available advertising inventory that can be used to market these licensed Apps.  Wizzard would receive approximately 50% of the revenue for every App sold through this effort.  If successful, this could cause Wizzard to become the largest ‘advertiser’ on the Wizzard Network.  If this were to occur, it could significantly enhance our podcast business as podcasters would then have a steady stream of advertisements for their show which would allow them to generate income and invest more capital into production quality, marketing and episode frequency expanding audience size and downloads.  We also believe that if we were able to assure podcast producers that Wizzard could produce a steady stream of advertisements and income, more podcast producers would be attracted to our network and pay for our podcasting services.


     Wizzard Media - Content


Wizzard Media is currently the industry’s largest network of independent and professional digital media publishers utilizing RSS podcasting as a distribution method. Wizzard's publishing platform grew by over 3,000 new podcast shows in the first quarter of 2009, to 20,000 vs. 1,268 new shows added in the first quarter of 2008.  The total number of active episodes for the shows on the Wizzard Network grew from 609,000 in the end of 2008 to 667,000, an increase of 58,000 episodes available for immediate distribution.  An increase in shows helps Wizzard gain additional distribution for our publishers and correlates to more downloads, larger audiences and increases our chances of securing advertisers for said shows in addition to increasing hosting/publishing revenues.  With the continuing success of Apple's iPod, iPhone and Apple TV, along with RSS aggregators from Adobe and other companies, we expect the number of publishers using our service and the number of consumers watching the shows we distribute to continue to grow in the foreseeable future.  Wizzard's LibsynPRO enterprise service grew to 91 networks as of the end of the first quarter of 2009.  We continue to see extremely positive reception by major media publishers for our LibsynPRO publishing and advertising platform.





In the first quarter of 2009 Wizzard launched new shows from Lifetime Networks, Guidepost, Get Married and Attention Span Media.  Some of the other more notable shows joining the Wizzard Media Network in the first quarter of 2009 were:


·

Friday Night Cranks – Wizzard recruited Friday Night Cranks from YouTube and convinced them to do podcasting as well.  This show is one of the fastest growing shows we’ve ever had on the Wizzard Network surpassing 100,000 downloads in its first month.   Targeted at young males.


·

Scene Unseen Movie Reviews – Is one of the largest Movie review podcasts and was recruited off network to be part of a specific advertising campaign.


·

WMMR’s Preston and Steve Podcast – Popular On-Air Morning show in Philly, this show had been hosting with us for some time and now has agreed to work with us to help bring ads to their show.


·

The GeekBox – Former Electronic Gaming Monthly / 1UP editor Ryan Scott created this podcast when Ziff Davis sold 1Up in early Jan 2009, bringing with him a large loyal fan base of young male gaming enthusiasts.


·

Pregtastic – The most popular podcast for expecting mothers joined the network in early Q1. This show is a nice fit for the other popular parenting podcasts we have on network.


·

The Public Speaker – A new podcast from the folks at QDNow (Grammar Girl), this show focuses on tips for public speaking and has already built up a great monthly audience in the low six figures.


Some of above mentioned new publishers are utilizing our media services and in turn we have the ability to bring advertising to their shows.  Others are obtaining ads themselves and utilizing our Ad Insertion and Ad Management technology, Alchemy, in addition to Wizzard having the opportunity to bring advertising to their shows.  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 show.  Any revenue generated from obtaining ads or the licensing of the content will be shared with the publisher of the show.  While the addition of these new shows will have minimal impact on revenue during 2009, Management believes that by publicizing our high profile shows it lends credibility to our service and helps to attract new publishers, distribution outlets and advertisers.  


     Wizzard Media - Technology


Wizzard Media's technical development team continues to make significant accomplishments in terms of maintaining and expanding our publishing platform.  In the first quarter of 2009, Wizzard’s development team released a major feature with its integration of our ad serving system, Alchemy, into the Wizzard media Flash Player.  This allows Wizzard’s ad campaigns to utilize the interactivity of the flash player to deliver ads with many benefits not available through the podcast download system including click-through interactivity and highly detailed ad delivery tracking.  


Additionally, Wizzard’s development team added support for VAST standard ad systems which now allows for inline pre, post and mid roll ads, banner overlay ads, click-through support, ad countdown timer with like/dislike feedback, Neilson NetRatings tracking of the flash player and support for multiple 3rd party ad systems.  


Wizzard's speech recognition system continues to process hours upon hours of digital media allowing for better discovery of content, advertising targeting and brand safety.  Below are various statistics from the speech system and its efforts of converting shows on the Wizzard Media Network to searchable text.

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 2009 Wizzard revamped its Internet marketing efforts through major search engines and continues to modify it on a quarterly basis.  This new revamped effort should result in increased business leads for our speech products and services.  


In the first quarter of 2009, our T&S Group saw a decrease in revenue over the first quarter of 2008 as a result of customers delaying purchases due to the severe global economic recession.  Additionally, some customers delayed the purchase of our top selling product, AT&T Natural Voices Text To Speech, choosing to wait until Wizzard released a new version of the product in the end of the first quarter of 2009.  As a result of the new product launch, it is Management’s opinion that business for our speech products will pick up in the third and fourth quarters of 2009, assuming the global recession does not continue beyond such time.  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 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, 59% for the first three months of 2009, from its home healthcare and staffing operations.  As is the case with most industry segments, the medical industry felt the slowing of the economy in the first quarter of 2009.   As a result, our staffing business in Billings, Montana has experienced a significant decrease in utilization of our services from the hospitals and nursing homes.  This has been driven by a decrease in the census (number of patients) utilizing these facilities.  We are taking 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 services continues to be strong and provided a consistent stream of revenue during the first quarter of 2009.


In Casper, we hired a new Administrator, who came with a diverse background in the healthcare industry. Our Casper location continues to provide home care and staffing services.  We have established a strong management team and are looking forward to the benefits of having a tenured team leading the efforts in Casper.  Casper staffing is exploring the potential of new facilities for use of supplemental services.   Additionally, we hired a full-time Physical Therapist, which will help to stabilize that line of service, as well as our procedures and processes for




administering our clients with physical therapy needs and should result in increase revenue during the second quarter of 2009.


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 March 31, 2009 and 2008.


During the first quarter ended March 31, 2009, Wizzard recorded revenues of $1,178,573, a 29% decrease from revenues of $1,668,478 in the first quarter of 2008. The decrease for the first quarter of 2009 reflects a decrease in revenue over all segments due in most part to the significant drop in the economy, but primarily to a decrease in our staffing revenues within our home healthcare subsidiary in Billings, Mt., as hospitals and other healthcare facilities that utilize our services experienced a much greater decrease in patients than other areas of the country.  We also experienced softness with customers delaying the purchase of Speech Software and usage of licensing with the economy slowing and a cut back in spending.


Cost of goods sold totaled $804,291 in the first quarter of 2009, versus $1,001,637 in the first quarter of 2008.  This decrease of 20% is a direct result of the decrease in sales of our products and services during the first quarter of 2009 due to the economic recession.  Wizzard posted a gross profit of $374,282 during the first quarter of 2009, versus a gross profit of $666,841 in the first quarter of 2008, a decrease of 44%.


In the first quarter ended March 31, 2009, operating expenses totaled $1,504,635 which was a 44% decrease from operating expenses of $2,688,581 in the first quarter of 2008.  Broken down by line item our operating expenses were:


Selling expenses in the first quarter of 2009 were $227,777 versus $224,743 in 2008, representing a 1% increase over prior year.


General and administrative expenses were $353,670 in 2009 versus $497,320 in 2008, a decrease of 29%, due to measures taken within our Media business segment to reduce costs.  Salaries, wages and related expenses decreased to $622,430 in 2009 from $762,945 in 2008, a decrease of 18%, driven by an effort to reduce overhead costs within our Media business segment.  Consulting fees decreased to $294,500 in 2009 from $1,168,320, a decrease of 75% due to the price of the stock for consultants that were paid in stock and the decrease in the use of consultants 2009 versus 2008.  Also, we have made a transition to using employees instead of consultants.  Research and Development expenses in the first quarter were $6,218 versus $35,253 in 2008.


Our efforts over the last two quarters to streamline operations, control spending, decrease the use of consultants and re-structure certain financial instruments reduced our cash spending by approximately $600,000 per quarter.


Other expenses of $187,400 versus $622,710 in the first quarter of 2008 consisted primarily of interest expense.  This decrease is due to recording $263,483 of non-cash interest expense for issuance of warrants during the first quarter of 2008, and $368,563 of non-cash interest expense for the accretion of the discount on notes payable during the first quarter of 2008 versus $149,977 during the first quarter of 2009.


Wizzard's net loss available to common shareholders was $1,317,753, or $0.03 per share, in the quarter ended March 31, 2009.  This represents a 52% decrease from our net loss of $2,751,830, or $0.06 per share, in the first quarter of 2008. During the first quarter of 2009, non-cash expenditures totaled $314,579, an 80% decrease from non-cash expenditures of $1,581,244 in the first quarter of 2008.

The Company used common stock to pay $100,974 in consulting services during the three months ended March 31, 2009. 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 digital media publishing services, and estimates it will require approximately $250,000 per month to maintain current operations and grow our digital media business.


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 on Form SB-2 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 26, 2007, and amended on August 28, 2007, 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.

(1)   Includes the long term notes payable held by three institutional investors.  The obligations are convertible into common stock at $1.00 per share and total $1,174,510.


The global credit market crisis, increased unemployment, the continued reductions in U.S. housing values, the volatility in the price of oil, the recession in the United States and the slowdown of economic growth in the rest of the world created a substantially more difficult business environment. The ability to execute capital market transactions or sales of assets was extremely limited, and home healthcare and media sales in North America and throughout the world contracted severely. Our liquidity position, as well as our operating performance, was negatively affected by these economic and industry conditions and by other financial and business factors, many of which are beyond our control. We do not believe it is likely that these adverse economic conditions, and their effect on the media and healthcare industries, will improve significantly in 2009, notwithstanding the unprecedented intervention by governments in the United States and other countries in the global banking and financial systems.


We have taken far reaching actions to restructure our business, but the effects of current global economic and credit market conditions on the advertising and healthcare industries require that we obtain additional near-term liquidity support. Based on our estimated cash requirements through December 31, 2009, we do not expect our current operations to generate sufficient cash flow to fund our obligations as they come due, and we do not currently have other traditional sources of liquidity available to fund these obligations. As a result, we must continue to attempt to raise working capital, as we have for the last several years.


We are currently contemplating capital market activities and potential asset sales, both to conserve cash and to generate incremental cash flow.  While we believe we can be successful in raising new working capital, capital market activities will be challenging given the current business and credit market environments and may be dilutive to current shareholders. The effect of any of these potential actions will not be realized until the second quarter of 2009 or later, even if they are implemented successfully.

 

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.  


We are not subject to financial market risk exposure related to changes in interest rates as our debt is at a fixed rate of interest.


Item 4T. 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, 2009, 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, 2009 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
