PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
WIZZARD SOFTWARE CORPORATION
----------------------------
The Company
-----------
You should carefully read our entire prospectus and consolidated
financial statements and related notes. Unless the context requires
otherwise, "we," "us," "our" and similar terms, as well as references to
"Wizzard," refer to Wizzard Software Corporation, a Colorado corporation, and

operations of Wizzard Delaware following the completion of a reorganization on
February 7, 2001.
Our business includes computer products that focus on speech recognition
technology to make computers listen and respond to users through verbal
communications.
Our principal executive offices consist of approximately 3,500 square
feet of office space located at ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇. Our
telephone number is (▇▇▇) ▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇. We also maintain a research and
development facility consisting of approximately 1,000 square feet at ▇▇▇▇
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Transfer Agent . . . . . . . . .Interwest Transfer Company, ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇-
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇,
Telephone No. ▇▇▇-▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇, serves as the
3
transfer agent and registrar for our
outstanding securities.
We have agreed to pay all costs and expenses relating to the registration
of our common stock. The selling stockholders will only be responsible for
any commissions, taxes, attorney's fees and other charges relating to the
offer or sale of these securities. The selling stockholders may sell their
common stock through one or more broker/dealers, and these broker/dealers may
receive customary compensation in the form of underwriting discounts,
concessions or commissions from the selling stockholders as they shall agree.
RISK FACTORS
------------
Our present and intended business operations are highly speculative and
involve substantial risks. Only investors who can bear the risk of losing
their entire investment should consider buying our shares. Among the risk
factors that you should consider are the following:
We Face Risks Related to Our Business
-------------------------------------
We have a history of losses and expect to incur losses in the future, and
we may never achieve profitability.
-----------------------------------
We had a net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2001, of $(401,509),
a decrease of $318,547 or 44% as compared with $(720,056) for the six month
ended June 30, 2000. Losses for the year ended December 31, 2000, were
$(1,382,243) on revenues of $189,625, compared to losses of $(626,253) on
revenues of $241,601 for the year ended December 31, 1999. We have not
generated significant revenues from operations because we have only recently
commercially released our speech recognition programming tools and our
Interactive Voice Assistant product, or IVA. We have not achieved
profitability in the course of our pre-commercial development activities for
our speech recognition programming tools or IVA applications and other speech
recognition products, and we expect to continue to incur net losses for at
least the balance of fiscal 2001. Because we need to establish our brand and
service, we expect to incur increasing sales and marketing, product
development and administrative expenses. As a result, we will need to
generate significant revenues to achieve and maintain profitability. We
cannot assure you that we will ever be able to operate profitably.
Also, the value of our common stock underlying our warrants issued for
services, and any difference between the determined value of our shares of
common stock and the exercise price of our warrants on the dates of our grants
of warrants for services will be an expense against our income, further
affecting our outlook for profitability.
We cannot accurately forecast our future revenues and operating results,
which may fluctuate.
--------------------
Our short operating history and the rapidly changing nature of the
market in which we compete make it difficult to accurately forecast our
revenues and operating results. Furthermore, we expect our revenues and
operating results to fluctuate in the future due to a number of factors,
including the following:
4
* the timing of sales of our products and services;
* the timing of product implementation, particularly large
design projects;
* unexpected delays in introducing new products and services;
* increased expenses, whether related to sales and marketing,
product development, or administration;
* deferral of revenue recognition in accordance with applicable
accounting principles, due to the time required to complete
projects;
* the mix of product license and services revenue; and
* costs related to possible acquisitions of technology or
businesses.
Because the voice-recognition business is in its infancy, our prospects
are even more uncertain.
------------------------
We face the difficulties frequently encountered by companies in the
early stage of development in new and evolving markets. These potential
difficulties include the following:
* substantial delays and expenses related to testing and
developing of our new products;
* marketing and distribution problems with new and existing
products and technologies;
* competition from larger and more established companies;
* delays in reaching our marketing goals;
* difficulty in recruiting qualified employees for management
and other positions;
* our lack of sufficient customers, revenues and cash flow; and
* our limited financial resources.
We may continue to face these and other difficulties in the future. Some
of these problems may be beyond our control. If we are unable to successfully
address them, our business will suffer.
We have not yet shown that our speech recognition technologies are
commercially viable.
--------------------
Wizzard, in assessing our future potential, places great importance on
the successful development of our speech recognition programming tools and our
IVA product and other speech recognition application technologies. These
technologies are still in their early stages. They have only recently become
marketable and have been made generally available only in their intended
market. We have not yet demonstrated that our products can attract sufficient
5
commercial interest or, if they do, that we can market them successfully.
Competitors with far greater financial resources than we have may create and
market competing products. If management's expectations for our products do
not materialize for any reason, our overall expectations will be seriously
compromised.
If we do not achieve the brand recognition necessary to succeed in the
speech recognition technology markets, our business will suffer.
----------------------------------------------------------------
We must quickly build our Wizzard brand to gain market acceptance for
speech recognition programming tools and our IVA and other speech recognition
products and services. We believe that our long-term success will require
that we obtain significant market share for our products and services before
other competitors enter the market. We must spend large amounts on product
development, strategic relationships and marketing initiatives in order to
establish our brand awareness. We cannot be certain that we will have enough
resources to build our brand and to obtain commercial acceptance of our
products and services. If we do not gain market acceptance for our speech
recognition programming tools, our IVA and related speech recognition
products, our business will suffer dramatically.
If we do not expand our product and service offerings, our business may
not grow.
---------
We have pursued, and may continue to pursue, strategic alliances with
new or complementary businesses in an effort to enter into new business
areas, diversify our sources of revenue and expand our speech recognition
applications products and services. If we pursue strategic alliances with new
or complementary businesses, we may not be able to expand our product or
service offerings and related operations in a cost-effective or timely way.
We may experience increased costs, delays and diversions of management's
attention when beginning any new businesses or services. Also, any new
business or service that users do not favorably receive could damage our
reputation and brand name in the speech recognition applications technology
markets. We also cannot be certain that we will get enough revenues from any
expanded products or services to offset related costs. Any expansion of our
operations may require additional expenses. These efforts may strain our
management, financial and operational resources.
If we cannot effectively manage our growth, our ability to provide
products and services will suffer.
----------------------------------
We have a limited basis upon which to evaluate our systems' ability to
handle controlled or full commercial availability of our products and
services. We anticipate that we will expand our operations significantly
in the near future, and we will have to expand further to address the
anticipated growth in our user base and market opportunities. To manage the
expected growth of operations and personnel, we will need to improve existing,
and implement new, systems, procedures and controls. In addition, we will
need to expand, train and manage an increasing employee base. We will also
need to expand our finance, administrative and operations staff. We may not
be able to effectively manage this growth. Our planned expansion in the near
future will place, and we expect our future expansion to continue to place, a
significant strain on our managerial, operational and financial resources.
Our planned personnel, systems, procedures and controls may be inadequate to
6
support our future operations. If we can not manage growth effectively
or if we experience disruptions during our expansion, our business will suffer
and our financial condition and results of operations will be seriously
affected.
We may be unable to obtain component products from our vendors.
---------------------------------------------------------------
We purchase major components of our products from outside suppliers. At
any given time we may find ourselves unable to obtain those components, which
could prevent us from meeting customer demand.
If we can not compete successfully, our revenues and operating results
will suffer.
------------
The market for computer software, and specifically speech recognition
technology products and services is highly competitive. Current competitors
include One Voice Technologies, MindMaker and IBM. In addition, competitors
may be developing speech recognition products and services that we may not be
aware of. Many of our current and potential competitors have much greater
financial, technical, marketing, distribution and other resources. They also
have greater name recognition and market presence, longer operating histories
and lower cost structures than we have. As a result, they may be able to
adapt more quickly to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer
requirements. Our ability to compete successfully in the rapidly evolving
speech recognition market will depend upon certain factors, many of which are
beyond our control and that may affect our ability to compete successfully.
We may also face competition from a number of indirect competitors that
specialize in electronic commerce and other companies with substantial
customer bases in the computer field and other technical fields.
Additionally, companies that control access to transactions through a network
or Web browser could promote our competitors or charge us a substantial fee
for similar access or promotion. Our competitors may also be acquired by,
receive investments from or enter into other commercial relationships with
larger, better-established and better-financed companies as use of speech
recognition products and services increases.
We may be unable to compete successfully against current and potential
competitors, and the competitive pressures we face could seriously harm our
business.
Our business would be seriously impaired if our rights in our technology
were compromised in any way.
----------------------------
Wizzard licenses the speech recognition engines upon which its products
operate from Dragon, Lernout & Hauspie, Philips, IBM and Microsoft. We rely
on non-disclosure, confidentiality and non-competition agreements with our
employees to protect many of our rights in our technology. If our employees
breach these agreements, we may incur significant expenses to enforce our
contractual restrictions and protect our rights. Management believes that
Wizzard has proprietary rights to its products, including copyright and
trademark protection that will discourage others from replicating our
products. However, while we have sought patent protection for certain
proprietary components of our speech recognition programming tools, our IVA
and other speech recognition application technologies, we have not obtained
7
opinions from independent intellectual property counsel that the copyrights
and trademarks are valid or, if valid, that their issuance, together with such
other proprietary rights that we own will be sufficient to protect us from
those who would try to capitalize on our success through imitation. Our
patent applications remain pending at this point. Our business plan and
strategy are to commercialize various speech recognition application
technologies. Termination of our relationship by our licensors of speech
recognition engines for any reason, or unauthorized disclosure of our
application technologies to third parties, would cause serious harm to our
business, financial position and results of operations.
We depend on five primary suppliers for software integrated into our
system, and the loss of any could adversely affect our business.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Dragon, Lernout & Hauspie, Philips, IBM and Microsoft supply the primary
speech recognition engines that are used with our products. We cannot
guarantee that we will be able to continue to license these speech recognition
engines after the current licenses expire or that alternative speech
recognition engines appropriate for use with our products will be available at
that time. If we can not retain these or comparable licenses, we may be
unable to produce our products.
We may unintentionally infringe on the proprietary rights of others.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Many software companies bring lawsuits alleging violation of intellectual
property rights. In addition, a large number of patents have been awarded in
the voice-recognition area. Although we do not believe that we are infringing
any patent rights, patent holders may claim that we are doing so. Any such
claim would likely be time-consuming and expensive to defend, particularly if
we are unsuccessful, and could prevent us from selling products or services.
We may also be forced to enter into costly and burdensome royalty and
licensing agreements.
If we do not respond effectively to technological change, our products
and services could become obsolete and our business will suffer.
----------------------------------------------------------------
The development of our products and services and other technology entails
significant technical and business risks. To remain competitive, we must
continue to improve our products' responsiveness, functionality and features.
High technology industries are characterized by:
* rapid technological change;
* changes in user and customer requirements and preferences;
* frequent new product and services introductions embodying new
technologies; and
* the emergence of new industry standards and practices.
The evolving nature of the Internet could render our existing technology
and systems obsolete. Our success will depend, in part, on our ability to:
* license or acquire leading technologies useful in our
business;
8
* develop new services and technologies that address our users'
increasingly sophisticated and varied needs; and
* respond to technological advances and emerging industry and
regulatory standards and practices in a cost-effective and
timely way.
Future advances in technology may not be beneficial to, or compatible
with, our business. Furthermore, we may not use new technologies effectively
or adapt our technology and systems to user requirements or emerging industry
standards in a timely way. In order to stay technologically competitive, we
may have to spend large amounts of money and time. If we do not adapt to
changing market conditions or user requirements in a timely way, our business,
financial condition and results of operations could be seriously harmed.
We may fail to develop new products, or we may incur unexpected expenses
or delays.
----------
Although we currently have fully developed products available for sale,
we are also developing various products and technologies that we will rely on
to remain competitive. Due to the risks in developing new products and
technologies, limited financing, competition, obsolescence, loss of key
personnel and other factors, we may fail to develop these technologies and
products, or we may experience lengthy and costly delays in doing so.
Although we may be able to license some of our technologies in their current
stage of development, we cannot assure you that we will be able to do so.
Our technologies and products could contain defects.
----------------------------------------------------
Voice-recognition products are not currently accurate in every instance,
and may never be. We could inadvertently release products and technologies
that contain defects. In addition, third-party technology that we include in
our products could contain defects. Even though our licensing agreement with
users contains language that is intended to protect us from liability for
defects, clients who are not satisfied with our products or services could
bring claims against us for substantial damages. These claims could cause us
to incur significant legal expenses and, if successful, could result in the
claimants being awarded significant damages.
Our growth and operating results could be impaired if we are unable to
meet our future capital requirements.
-------------------------------------
We currently require additional capital of from $2,000,000 to $5,000,000
to allow us to fund our operations for at least the next 18 months to two
years. We will also require substantial additional working capital to fund
our business in the long term. Accordingly, we need to raise capital promptly
to meet our short-term needs. If we succeed in raising this capital, we will
also seek additional funding, in the form of equity, debt or a combination of
both, in approximately 12 months to meet our long-term requirements. We
cannot be certain that funds will be available on satisfactory terms when
needed, or if at all. Our future capital needs depend on many factors,
including:
* the timing of our development efforts;
9
* market acceptance of our products;
* the level of promotion and advertising required to launch our
services; and
* changes in technology.
The various elements of our business and growth strategies, including our
plans to support fully the commercial release of our speech recognition
programming tools, our IVA product and related speech application services,
our introduction of new products and services and our investments in
infrastructure, will require money. If we are unable to raise the necessary
money now or in the future, we may have to significantly curtail our
operations or obtain funding through the relinquishment of significant
technology or markets. Also, raising additional equity capital may
substantially dilute the value of present stockholders' holdings in our
company.
We depend on our key personnel and need additional personnel to grow our
business.
---------
We depend to a large extent on the abilities of our key management and
technical personnel, in particular ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, our President, and
▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, our Chief Technology Officer. The loss of any key employee or
our inability to attract or retain other qualified employees could seriously
impair our results of operations and financial condition.
Our future success depends on our ability to attract, retain and motivate
highly skilled technical, marketing, management, accounting and administrative
personnel. We plan to hire additional personnel in all areas of our business.
Competition for qualified personnel is intense. As a result, we may be unable
to attract, assimilate or retain qualified personnel. We may also be unable
to retain the employees that we currently employ or to attract additional
technical personnel. The failure to retain and attract the necessary
personnel could seriously harm our business, financial condition and results
of operations.
System and online security failures could harm our business and
operating results.
------------------
The operation of our business depends on the efficient and uninterrupted
operation of our computer and communications hardware systems. Our systems
and operations will be vulnerable to damage or interruption from many sources,
including fire, flood, power loss, telecommunications failure, break-ins,
earthquakes and similar events. Our servers will also be vulnerable to
computer viruses, physical or electronic break-ins and similar disruptions.
Any substantial interruptions in the future could result in the loss of data
and could destroy our ability to generate revenues from operations.
The secure transmission of confidential information over public networks
is a significant barrier to electronic commerce and communications. Anyone
who can circumvent our security measures could misappropriate confidential
information or cause interruptions in our operations. We may have to spend
large amounts of money and other resources to protect against potential
security breaches or to alleviate problems caused by any breach.
10
We face risks related to the Internet industry.
-----------------------------------------------
Our products will enhance the use of the Internet, and we will focus our
initial marketing efforts of our products through the Internet. The success
of our business will depend on the continued growth of the Internet and the
acceptance by consumers of the Internet as a medium for advertising, commerce
and communications.
Our success depends in part on widespread acceptance and use of the
Internet as a medium for advertising, commerce and communications. This
process is at an early stage, and long-term market acceptance, though
generally anticipated, is uncertain. We cannot predict the extent to
which users will be willing to shift their habits from traditional media to
online media. To be successful, our users must accept and use electronic
commerce to satisfy their product needs. Our future revenues and profits, if
any, substantially depend upon the acceptance and use of the Internet and
other online services as an effective medium of commerce by our target users.
The Internet may not become a viable long-term commercial marketplace
due to potentially inadequate development of the necessary network
infrastructure or delayed development of enabling technologies and performance
improvements. The commercial acceptance and use of the Internet may not
continue to develop at historical rates. Our business, financial condition
and results of operations could be harmed if:
* use of the Internet and other online services does not
continue to increase or increases more slowly than expected;
* the infrastructure for the Internet and other online services
does not effectively support future expansion of electronic
commerce;
* concerns over security and privacy inhibit the growth of the
Internet; or
* the Internet and other online services do not become a viable
commercial marketplace.
Our operating results could be impaired if we become subject to
burdensome government regulation and legal uncertainties.
---------------------------------------------------------
We are not currently subject to direct regulation by any domestic or
foreign governmental agency, other than regulations applicable to businesses
generally. However, due to the increasing popularity and use of the Internet,
it is possible that a number of laws and regulations may be adopted with
respect to the Internet, relating to:
* user privacy;
* pricing;
* content;
* copyrights;
* distribution; and
11
* characteristics and quality of products and services.
The adoption of any additional laws or regulations may decrease the
expansion of the Internet. A decline in the growth of the Internet could
decrease demand for our products and services and increase our cost of
doing business. Moreover, the applicability of existing laws to the Internet
is uncertain with regard to many issues, including property ownership, export
of specialized technology, sales tax, libel and personal privacy. Our
business, financial condition and results of operations could be seriously
harmed by any new legislation or regulation. The application of laws and
regulations from jurisdictions whose laws do not currently apply to our
business, or the application of existing laws and regulations to the Internet
and other online services, could also harm our business.
We plan to offer our speech recognition products over the Internet in
multiple states and foreign countries. These jurisdictions may claim that we
are required to qualify to do business as a foreign corporation in each state
or foreign country. Our failure to qualify as a foreign corporation in a
jurisdiction where we are required to do so could subject us to taxes and
penalties. Other states and foreign countries may also attempt to regulate
our business or prosecute us for violations of their laws. Further, we might
unintentionally violate the laws of foreign jurisdictions and those laws may
be modified and new laws may be enacted in the future.
The United States Congress has enacted legislation limiting the ability
of the states to impose taxes on Internet-based transactions. However, this
legislation, known as the Internet Tax Freedom Act, imposes only a three-year
moratorium, which commenced October 1, 1998 and ended on October 21, 2001, on
state and local taxes on electronic commerce, where such taxes are
discriminatory, and Internet access, unless the taxes were generally imposed
and actually enforced prior to October 1, 1998. Current published reports
indicate that the tax moratorium could fail to be renewed. Failure to renew
this legislation will allow various states to impose taxes on Internet-based
commerce. The imposition of these taxes could seriously adversely affect
Internet commerce and hinder our ability to become profitable.
Our industry is experiencing consolidation that may intensify
competition.
------------
The Internet industry has recently experienced substantial consolidation.
We expect this consolidation to continue. Acquisitions could harm us in a
number of ways. For example:
* a competitor could be acquired by a party with significant
resources and experience that could increase the ability of
the competitor to compete with our products and services; and
* other companies with related interests could combine to form
new, formidable competition, which could preclude us from
obtaining access to certain markets or content, or which could
dramatically change the market for our products and services.
There Are Substantial Risks Related to Our Common Stock and Management's
Percentage of Ownership of Our Common Stock
--------------------------------------------
12
Due to the instability in our common stock price, you may not be able to
sell your shares at a profit.
-----------------------------
The public market for our common stock is limited and volatile. As with
the market for many other companies new and emerging industries, any market
price for our shares is likely to continue to be very volatile. In addition,
factors such as the following may significantly affect our stock price:
* actual or anticipated variations in quarterly operating
results;
* announcements of technological innovations, new products or
services by us or our competitors;
* changes in financial estimates or recommendations by
securities analysts;
* the addition or loss of strategic relationships or
relationships with our key customers;
* conditions or trends in the Internet and online commerce
markets including the provision of related speech-activated
services;
* changes in the market valuations of other Internet, online
service or software companies;
* announcements by us or our competitors of significant
acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or
capital commitments;
* legal, regulatory or political developments;
* additions or departures of key personnel;
* sales of our common stock by insiders or stockholders;
* general market conditions; and
* Catastrophic events.
The historical volatility of our stock price may make it more difficult
for you to resell shares when you want at prices you find attractive.
In addition, the stock market in general and the market for Internet and
technology companies in particular, have experienced extreme price and volume
fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the
operating performance of these companies. These broad market and industry
factors may reduce our stock price, regardless of our operating performance.
The sale of already outstanding shares of our common stock could hurt our
common stock market price.
--------------------------
Approximately 597,967 shares of our common stock are presently publicly
traded. This number will be increased by the 4,649,238 presently outstanding
shares that may be offered by this prospectus, along with the 1,788,076 shares
13
underlying the warrants, the 500,000 shares that may be issued on conversion
of the Series 2001-A Eight Percent (8%) Convertible Notes and the 100,000
shares that may be issued for legal services that also may be offered by this
prospectus. We have agreed to acquire by registration or an available
exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act all of the
remaining outstanding shares of Wizzard Delaware, our 96%-owned subsidiary.
This would increase our outstanding shares by an additional 588,082 shares.
In addition, 11,978,831 shares of our common stock will have satisfied the one
year holding period for limited resales under Rule 144 on or after February 7,
2002. This substantial increase in the number of shares that may be available
for public trading from 597,967 shares to 7,635,281 shares on the effective
date of our registration statement and the availability of these other shares
for future public sale under Rule 144 or in exchange for our 96%-owned
subsidiary's shares may dramatically reduce the price of our common stock on
the basis of supply and demand alone.
Our directors', executive officers' and affiliated persons' beneficial
ownership of approximately 34.8% of our common stock creates certain
conflicts.
----------
As of the business day immediately prior to the filing of our
registration statement, our executive officers, directors and affiliated
persons beneficially own approximately 34.8% of our common stock. As a
result, our executive officers, directors and affiliated persons will have
significant influence to:
* elect or defeat the election of our directors;
* amend or prevent amendment of our articles of incorporation or
bylaws;
* effect or prevent a merger, sale of assets or other corporate
transaction; and
* control the outcome of any other matter submitted to the
stockholders for vote.
By their ownership and positions, our directors, executive officers and
affiliated persons collectively are able to significantly influence all
matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors
and the approval of significant corporate transactions. In addition, sales of
significant amounts of shares held by these persons, or the prospect of these
sales, could adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
Management's stock ownership may discourage a potential acquirer from making a
tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of our company, which
in turn could reduce our stock price or prevent our stockholders from
realizing a premium over the price they paid for our stock.
FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
---------------------------
This prospectus contains forward-looking information within the meaning
of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking
statements contained in this prospectus involve known and unknown risks,
uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results, financial or
operating performance to differ from the future results, financial or
14
operating performance or achievements expressed or implied by these
forward-looking statements. You should carefully read the this prospectus and
the risks factors outlined above, along with the more detailed information,
financial statements and the notes to the financial statements appearing
elsewhere in this prospectus before you decide whether to purchase the common
stock described in or offered by this prospectus.
USE OF PROCEEDS
---------------
We will not receive any part of the proceeds from sale of our common
stock. However, we will receive, if all of the warrants are exercised,
$2,578,364; and legal services for up to 100,000 shares valued at 50% of the
last five day average bid prices of our common stock at the end of each
monthly billing cycle. As of the date of this prospectus, none of these
warrants had been exercised, and none of these shares had been issued.
DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE AND DILUTION
--------------------------------------------
We will not receive any money from the selling stockholders when they
sell their shares of common stock, although we will receive funds from any
exercise of the warrants. The selling stockholders may sell all or any part
of their shares in private transactions or in the over-the-counter market at
prices related to the prevailing prices of our common stock at the time of
negotiation. Because we cannot accurately predict the prices of these sales,
we cannot accurately estimate the amount of any dilution that may result from
the purchase price of any of these shares. Dilution is the difference
between the price paid for the shares and our net tangible book value. The
net tangible book value of our common stock on June 30, 2001, was $457,800 or
$0.027 per share, based upon 16,855,791 outstanding shares. Net tangible book
value per share is determined by subtracting our total liabilities from our
total tangible assets and dividing the remainder by the number of shares of
common stock outstanding. These computations do not include the estimated
expenses of this offering of approximately $50,000. The offer and sale by the
selling stockholders of outstanding common stock, or of those shares
underlying the warrants, will not affect the net tangible book value of our
common stock, excluding computations taking into account the issuance of the
shares underlying the warrants and any payment for the exercise of the
warrants.
We can not assure you that any public market for our common stock will
equal or exceed the sales prices of the shares of common stock that our
stockholders sell. Purchasers of our shares face the risk that their shares
will not be worth what they paid for them.
SELLING SECURITY HOLDERS

LOCK-UP/LEAK-OUT CONDITIONS AND OTHER RESALE LIMITATIONS
--------------------------------------------------------
Certain shares of the selling stockholders are subject to lock-up/leak-
out conditions or other resale limitations. The following is a summary of
these resale limitations:
Members of Management and other Principal Stockholders.
-------------------------------------------------------
As a condition to including the shares of members of management and
certain of our principal stockholders in our registration statement, the Board
of Directors resolved that resales by these persons in accordance with our
registration statement and this prospectus must be made under the limitations
of Rule 144(e), which limits the sales by each person to no more than one
percent of our outstanding securities; and that no resales by any of these
persons can be made for the 15-day period before or after we are required to
file any report with the Securities and Exchange Commission; or during any
period of time that we are conducting any material negotiations or there is
any material non-public information about us that may, if disclosed, have a
material effect on the public trading price of our common stock.
The following stockholders are subject to these resale conditions:
* ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, our President and a director;
* ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, our Assistant Secretary and a director;
* ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, a director;
* ▇▇. ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, a director;
* ▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, the parents of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇;
and
* Voice Recognition Investment, L.P.
Each of these stockholders holds shares for their own account, and each
has represented that none intends to sell their shares in concert with any of
these other stockholders. Based upon the foregoing, these stockholders could
sell an aggregate of 1,011,342 shares in any quarter following the effective
19
date of our registration statement, based upon 1% of the number of shares
outstanding on June 30, 2001, which was 16,855,791 shares.
Private Offering Stockholders.
------------------------------
The subscription documents to the private offering that we conducted as
a condition to the closing of the Wizzard Delaware reorganization provided
that no investors acquiring shares of our common stock shall, for a period of
18 months from the closing of the reorganization (February 7, 2001), sell more
than 10% of such holder's common stock holdings during any three month period;
provided, however, that if less than 10% of a holder's common stock had been
sold during any covered three month period, then the difference between the
holder's 10% and the amount actually sold could be added to and sold during
any successive three month period, provided that all computations for resales,
except the period of 18 months, were to commence on the effective date of the
registration statement that we were required to file.
As a result of the foregoing, these stockholders could sell a total of
67,150 shares in any quarter following the effective date of our registration
statement. These lock-up/leak-out conditions expire 18 months after the
closing of the Wizzard Delaware reorganization on February 7, 2001, which is
August 6, 2002.
Pre-Wizzard Delaware Reorganization principal stockholders and others.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
As a condition to including in our registration statement certain shares
of Corporate Capital Management, LLC, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and his consulting firm,
▇▇▇▇▇▇ Services, Inc., and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, Esq., all pre-Wizzard
Delaware reorganization stockholders of our company, were required to execute
and deliver a Lock-Up/Leak-Out Agreement. Great North Distributors, Inc.,
which subsequently acquired "restricted securities" in a private transaction
from Corporate Capital Management, was also required to execute the Lock-
Up/Leak-Out Agreement as a condition to the acquisition of its shares.
This Agreement provides for the following lock-up/leak-out conditions:
* no shareholder other than Corporate Capital Management, Great
North Distributors, ▇▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Services or ▇▇.
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ may sell any shares covered by the lock-up unless
the parties agree otherwise in writing. For the purposes of
these restrictions, Corporate Capital Management, Great
Northern Distributors, ▇▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Services and ▇▇.
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ are collectively considered to be one stockholder;
* each stockholder is allowed to sell shares in blocks of 5,000
shares or less per transaction;
* the shares may be sold only at the offer or ask price stated
by the relevant market maker, and each stockholder has agreed
that they will not sell shares at the bid price;
* after a stockholder sells 5,000 shares, the stockholder may
not sell any other shares unless the offer or asked price of
the common stock has increased by .25 basis points above the
stockholder's last sales price;
20
* notwithstanding the foregoing, if, after a stockholder sells
5,000 shares, a market/maker in the common stock, other than
the market/maker involved in the first transaction, continues
to show an offer or ask price at the same price as the first
5,000 share transaction, the stockholder may, on one occasion
only, sell an additional 5,000 shares at that price;
* the shares may not be sold at a price below $2.00 per share,
as recently reduced by us from $5.00 per share;
* each stockholder shall be allowed to sell up to 15% of their
shares that can be sold during each three month period;
provided, however, that if any stockholder does not sell his
full 15% during any three-month period, the stockholder may
sell the difference between 15% of the shares held and the
shares actually sold during the three-month period in the next
successive three-month period; and
* the stockholders have agreed that they will not engage in any
short selling of these shares or other shares of our common
stock that are included in our registration statement.
We can waive any or all of these conditions under the Lock-Up/Leak-Out
Agreement if we determine in our sole discretion that the waiver will promote

▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, JKD Cayman Island Trust, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇
Financial have also executed a Lock-Up/Leak-Out Agreement that is effective
for a period of 12 months from the effective date of our registration
statement and provides:
* each stockholder is allowed to sell shares in blocks of 5,000
shares or less per transaction;
* the shares may be sold only at the offer or ask price stated
by the relevant market maker, and each stockholder has agreed
that they will not sell shares at the bid price;
* after a stockholder sells 5,000 shares, the stockholder may
not sell any other shares unless the offer or asked price of
the common stock has increased by .25 basis points above the
stockholder's last sales price;
* notwithstanding the foregoing, if, after a stockholder sells
5,000 shares, a market/maker in the common stock, other than
the market/maker involved in the first transaction, continues
to show an offer or ask price at the same price as the first
5,000 share transaction, the stockholder may, on one occasion
only, sell an additional 5,000 shares at that price;
* the shares may not be sold at a price below $1.00 per share;
and
* the stockholders have agreed that they will not engage in any
short selling of these shares or other shares of our common
stock that are included in our registration statement.
All 100,000 shares that have been issued to ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Financial are
21
subject to these lock-up conditions; however, none of the shares underlying
the warrants that have been issued to ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Financial are subject to
these lock-up conditions.
We can waive any or all of these conditions under the Lock-Up/Leak-Out
Agreement if we determine in our sole discretion that the waiver will promote
a fair and orderly market in our common stock.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
--------------------
We are registering the shares of our common stock covered by this
prospectus.
We will pay the costs, expenses and fees of registering our common stock.
All of the selling stockholders will be responsible for any commissions,
taxes, attorney's fees and other charges that each may incur in the offer or
sale of these securities.
The selling stockholders may sell our common stock at market prices
prevailing at the time of the sale, at prices related to the prevailing market
prices, at negotiated prices or at fixed prices, any of which may change.
They may sell some or all of their common stock through:
* ordinary broker's transactions, which may include long or
short sales (no short sales can be made by selling
stockholders that are subject to the lock-up conditions or the
holder of the Series 2001-A Eight Percent (8%) Convertible
Notes);
* purchases by brokers, dealers or underwriters as principal and
resale by those purchasers for their own accounts under this
prospectus;
* market makers or into an existing market for our common stock;
* transactions in options, swaps or other derivatives; or
* any combination of the selling options described in this
prospectus, or by any other legally available means.
In addition, the selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions
with broker/dealers, who may engage in short sales (except those selling
stockholders who are subject to the lock-up conditions or the holders of the
Series 2001-A Eight Percent (8%) Convertible Notes sales) of our common stock
in the course of hedging the positions they assume. Finally, they may enter
into options or other transactions with broker/dealers that require the
delivery of our common stock to those broker/dealers. Subsequently, the
shares may be resold under this prospectus.
In their selling activities, the selling stockholders will have to comply
with applicable provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and its
rules and regulations, including Regulation M. The Exchange Act and these
rules and regulations may limit the timing of purchases and sales of our
common stock by the selling stockholders.
The selling stockholders and any broker/dealers involved in the sale or
resale of our common stock may qualify as underwriters within the meaning of
22
Section 2(11) of the Securities Act. In addition, the broker/dealers'
commissions, discounts or concessions may qualify as underwriters'
compensation under the Exchange Act. If any broker/dealer or selling
stockholder qualifies as an underwriter, it will have to deliver our
prospectus as required by Rule 154 of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
In addition, any broker/dealer that participates in a distribution of these
shares will not be able to bid for, purchase or attempt to induce any person
to bid for or purchase any of these shares as long as the broker/dealer is
participating in the distribution. The ability of participating
broker/dealers to stabilize the price of our shares will also be restricted.
If the selling stockholders sell our shares to or through brokers,
dealers or agents, they may agree to indemnify these brokers, dealers or
agents against liabilities arising under the Securities Act or the Exchange
Act. We do not know of any existing arrangements between the selling
stockholders and any other stockholder, broker, dealer, underwriter or agent
relating to the sale or distribution of our common stock.
In addition to selling their common stock under this prospectus, the
selling stockholders may:
* transfer their common stock in other ways not involving market
makers or established trading markets, including by gift,
distribution or other transfer; or
* sell their common stock under Rule 144 of the Securities and
Exchange Commission, if the transaction meets the requirements
of Rule 144.
We have advised the selling stockholders that during the time they are
engaged in the distribution of our common stock that they own, they must
comply with Rule 10b-5 and Regulation M promulgated by the Securities and
Exchange Commission under the Exchange Act. They must do all of the following
under this Rule and Regulation:
* not engage in any stabilization activity in connection with
our common stock;
* furnish each broker who may be offering our common stock on
their behalf the number of copies of this prospectus required
by each broker;
* not bid for or purchase any of our common stock or attempt to
induce any person to purchase any of our common stock, other
than as permitted under the Exchange Act;
* not use any device to defraud;
* not make any untrue statement of material fact or fail to
state any material fact; and
* not engage in any act that would operate as a fraud or deceit
upon any person in connection with the purchase or sale of our
shares.
To the extent that any selling stockholder may be an affiliated
purchaser as defined in Regulation M, he, she or it has been further advised
of the requirements of Rule 10b-1, and that he, she or it must coordinate his,
23
her or its sales under this prospectus with us for the purposes of Regulation
M.
To the extent required by the Securities Act, a supplemental prospectus
will be filed, disclosing:
* the name of any broker/dealers;
* the number of securities involved;
* the price at which the securities are to be sold;
* the commissions paid or discounts or concessions allowed to
the broker/dealers, where applicable;
* that the broker/dealers did not conduct any investigation to
verify the information set out in this prospectus, as
supplemented; and
* other facts material to the transaction.
There is no guarantee that any selling stockholder will sell any of our
common stock.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
-------------------------
Common Stock.
-------------
Our authorized capital stock consists of 50,000,000 shares of common
stock, $0.001 par value per share. On June 30, 2001, there were 16,855,791
outstanding shares of our common stock.
Holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote per share on all
matters submitted to a vote of stockholders and may not cumulate votes for
the election of directors. Common stock holders have the right to receive
dividends when, as, and if declared by the Board of Directors from funds
legally available therefor. Upon liquidation, holders of common stock
are entitled to share pro rata in any assets available for the distribution to
shareholders after payment of all obligations. Holders of common stock have
no preemptive rights and have no rights to convert their common stock into any
other securities.
Our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws do not contain any provision
that would delay, defer or prevent a change in the control of our company.
Registration Rights
-------------------
We have granted piggy-back or other registration rights for all shares

a specified time.
In accordance with our agreement with our private offering stockholders,
our registration statement must become effective within 180 days of May 30,
30
2001, or by November 27, 2001, or we will be liable to these persons, pro
rata, for 1% of the amount of their investment, for every 30 days thereafter
during which our registration statement has not become effective. These
damages would amount to $6,715 for each 30 day period.
In accordance with our agreement with the holder of our Series 2001-A
Eight Percent (8%) Convertible Notes, such holder was to be paid 3% of the
$250,000 purchase price of these securities if the registration statement
was not filed by October 15, 2001; the holder has extended this period until
October 30, 2001, without penalty. If this registration statement does not
become effective by March 14, 2002, we will be liable to this holder for 3% of
the $250,000 purchase price of these securities, and 4% the $250,000 purchase
price of these securities for every 30 days thereafter until the registration

Series 2001-A Eight Percent (8%) Convertible Notes.
---------------------------------------------------
On September 14, 2001, Wizzard and Maricopa Equity Management Corp.,
a Minnesota corporation, executed a Securities Purchase Agreement under which
we sold Maricopa Series 2001-A Eight Percent (8%) Convertible Notes in the
aggregate principal amount of $250,000, due August 31, 2011.
The Securities Purchase Agreement and related exhibits provided, among
other provisions, that:
* the Notes are convertible, along with accrued interest, at the
holder's option, into shares of our common stock at the lesser
of$0.50 per share or 75% of the closing bid price of our
common stock on any national medium on which our common stock
is traded;
* the Notes and the stock certificates are "restricted
securities," with registration rights;
* Maricopa's is prohibited from making short sales during the
time that it owns the Notes or the underlying securities;
* there are conversion restrictions that prohibit Maricopa from
owning in excess of 4.99% of our outstanding securities
33
resulting from conversion, except on the occurrence of certain
events;
* we are limited from issuing additional securities without the
consent of Maricopa, except for 500,000 shares per quarter,
that must be issued subject to lock-up/leak-out conditions;
* liquidated damage payments by us for non-timely transfers of
shares on conversion, ranging form $300 commencing on the 6th
day of demand of transfer, increasing by $100 for each of the
next nine days, increasing by $500 on the 10th day and
increasing by $500 every day thereafter;
* the shares that will be issued on conversion of the Notes
shall be registered by us at our sole cost and expense with
the Securities and Exchange Commission as a condition to
conversion (except for the first 40,000 shares, as outlined
below) on or before March 14, 2002, provided, however, that we
will be obligated to register the greater of 500,000 shares or
200% of the maximum number of shares of common stock that
would have been issued had the conversion taken place on
September 14, 2001 or on the filing date of the registration
statement;
* if (i) our registration statement is not filed on or prior to
October 15, 2002 (this date has been extended to October
30, 2001), or is not declared effective by the Securities and
Exchange Commission on or prior to March 14, 2002, we shall
pay in cash as liquidated damages for such failure and not as
a penalty to the holder an amount equal to 3% of the purchase
price paid by the holder for all Notes, or common stock held
by the holder upon conversion or exercise thereof, purchased
and then outstanding pursuant to the Securities Purchase
Agreement for the first 30 day period, and 4% for each
additional 30 day period until the applicable Event has been
cured, which shall be pro rated for such periods less than 30
days; certain other events will also trigger the liquidated
damages penalty, but all primarily relate to registration of
the shares and the ability of the holder to sell them
publicly;
* there are mutual indemnification provisions respecting each
party to the other party concerning information provided by
each for use in the registration statement;
* the Securities Purchase Agreement and all rights thereunder or
in the exhibits are assignable if made under applicable law,
with the written consent of the other party and subject to the
assignee's acknowledgment of certain factual matters similar to
those agreed upon by Maricopa;
* Maricopa shall have the right of specific performance of our
obligations as one of its remedies in the event of default by
us; and
* All proceeds for the purchase of the Notes, along with the
first 40,000 shares that could be issued on conversion of the
Notes, were deposited with an Escrow Agent, together with fully
34
executed copies of the Securities Purchase Agreement and all
related exhibits, at which time disbursement to us were made.
The 40,000 shares so deposited can be purchased by the exercise
of conversion rights prior to the effective date of the
registration statement.
▇▇▇▇▇ Stock.
------------
Our common stock is "▇▇▇▇▇ stock" as defined in Rule 3a51-1 of the
Securities and Exchange Commission. ▇▇▇▇▇ stocks are stocks:
* with a price of less than five dollars per share;
* that are not traded on a "recognized" national exchange;
* whose prices are not quoted on the NASDAQ automated quotation
system; or
* in issuers with net tangible assets less than $2,000,000, if
the issuer has been in continuous operation for at least three
years, or $5,000,000, if in continuous operation for less than
three years, or with average revenues of less than $6,000,000
for the last three years.
Section 15(g) of the Exchange Act and Rule 15g-2 of the Securities and
Exchange Commission require broker/dealers dealing in ▇▇▇▇▇ stocks to provide
potential investors with a document disclosing the risks of ▇▇▇▇▇ stocks and
to obtain a manually signed and dated written receipt of the document before
making any transaction in a ▇▇▇▇▇ stock for the investor's account. You are
urged to obtain and read this disclosure carefully before purchasing any of
our shares.
Rule 15g-9 of the Securities and Exchange Commission requires
broker/dealers in ▇▇▇▇▇ stocks to approve the account of any investor for
transactions in these stocks before selling any ▇▇▇▇▇ stock to that investor.
This procedure requires the broker/dealer to:
* get information about the investor's financial situation,
investment experience and investment goals;
* reasonably determine, based on that information, that
transactions in ▇▇▇▇▇ stocks are suitable for the investor and
that the investor can evaluate the risks of ▇▇▇▇▇ stock
transactions;
* provide the investor with a written statement setting forth
the basis on which the broker/dealer made his or her
determination; and
* receive a signed and dated copy of the statement from the
investor, confirming that it accurately reflects the
investor's financial situation, investment experience and
investment goals.
Compliance with these requirements may make it harder for our selling
stockholders and other stockholders to resell their shares.

DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION ON INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT
LIABILITIES
-----------
Section ▇-▇▇▇-▇▇▇ of the Colorado Code authorizes a Colorado corporation
to indemnify any director against liability incurred in any proceeding if he
or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be
in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect
to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his
or her conduct was unlawful.
Unless limited by the Articles of Incorporation, Section ▇-▇▇▇-▇▇▇
authorizes a director to apply for indemnification to the court conducting the
proceeding or another court of competent jurisdiction. Section ▇-▇▇▇-▇▇▇
extends this right to officers of a corporation as well.
Unless limited by the Articles of Incorporation, Section ▇-▇▇▇-▇▇▇
requires that a corporation indemnify a director who was wholly successful in
defending any proceeding to which he or she was a party against reasonable
expenses incurred in connection therewith. Unless limited by the Articles of
Incorporation, Section ▇-▇▇▇-▇▇▇ extends this protection to officers of a
corporation as well.
Pursuant to Section ▇-▇▇▇-▇▇▇, a corporation may advance a director's
expenses incurred in defending any action or proceeding upon receipt of an
undertaking and a written affirmation of his or her good faith belief that he
or she has met the standard of conduct specified in Section ▇-▇▇▇-▇▇▇. Unless
36
limited by the Articles of Incorporation, Section ▇-▇▇▇-▇▇▇ extends this
protection to officers of a corporation as well.
Regardless of whether a director, officer, employee or agent has the
right to indemnity under the Colorado Code, Section ▇-▇▇▇-▇▇▇ allows the
corporation to purchase and maintain insurance on his or her behalf against
liability resulting from his or her corporate role.
Article VIII of the Company's Bylaws reiterates the provisions of
Section ▇-▇▇▇-▇▇▇ of the Colorado Code, and extends this protection to
officers and employees of the Company. Article VIII also provides that a
judgment or conviction, whether based upon a plea of guilty or nolo contendere
or its equivalent, or after trial, shall not in and of itself be deemed to be
an adjudication that such director, officer or employee is liable to the
Company for negligence or misconduct in the performance of his or her duties.
This determination can be made, at the option of the director, officer or
employee seeking indemnification in any of the following manners:
* order of the court or administrative agency having
jurisdiction of the action, suit or proceeding;
* resolution of a majority of the non-interested members of the
Board of Directors;
* if there is no quorum after excluding interested directors, by
majority resolution of a committee of non-interested
stockholders and directors appointed by the Board of
Directors;
* resolution of a majority of the quorum directors at any
meeting; or
* an order of any court having jurisdiction over us.
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
-----------------------
Business Development.
---------------------
We were incorporated in Colorado on July 1, 1998, to be a holding company
and financing vehicle for The Balanced Woman, a Colorado corporation, and
other companies or projects.
On July 14, 1998, we acquired all of the outstanding securities of The
Balanced Woman. We then had no other business plan other than to function as
the holding company and to financially support The Balanced Woman.
Until the quarter ended June 30, 2000, we conducted seminars on issues of
primary concern for women and marketed certain products tailored to women
though our wholly-owned subsidiary, The Balanced Woman.
On May 26, 2000, we conveyed all of the outstanding securities of The
Balanced Woman that we then owned to our stockholders in exchange for
outstanding warrants or options to acquire shares of our common stock that
these stockholders and others owned. We accomplished this disposition under
Rule 506 of Regulation D of the Securities and Exchange Commission. This was
done in anticipation of acquiring Wizzard Delaware.
37
On May 30, 2000, we received, accepted and signed a copy of a Letter of
Intent under which we proposed to acquire a 96% interest in Wizzard Delaware.
On June 5, 2000, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Services, Inc., a Utah corporation, purchased
4,125,000 shares of our common stock for $25,000. We used these funds to pay
most of the expenses that we incurred in the Wizzard Delaware reorganization.
On February 7, 2001, we completed a Plan of Reorganization and Stock
Exchange Agreement known as the "Wizzard Delaware reorganization." That
transaction involved us; ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Services; Wizzard Delaware; and certain
stockholders of Wizzard Delaware that owned about 96% of Wizzard Delaware's
outstanding securities. Under the Wizzard Delaware reorganization, the
Wizzard Delaware stockholders participating in the reorganization exchanged
their shares of Wizzard Delaware, which amounted to a total of 13,049,000
shares, for shares of our common stock in the ratio of 1.027268907 shares for
each exchanged Wizzard Delaware share. On the completion of the Wizzard
Delaware reorganization, the Wizzard Delaware stockholders who were party to
the reorganization owned 13,404,831 shares of our common stock and Wizzard
Delaware became our 96%-owned subsidiary.
We were required to raise at least $500,000 from the private sale of
shares of our common stock as a condition to the closing of the Wizzard
Delaware reorganization. We sold 531,000 shares of common stock in a
private offering at the closing for gross proceeds of $531,000. The offering
continued until May 30, 2001. We sold a total of 671,500 shares for aggregate
gross proceeds of $671,500.
▇▇▇▇▇▇ Services canceled 3,725,000 of the shares that it owned as a
further condition to the closing of the reorganization. It also agreed to
certain lock-up/leak-out conditions affecting the resale of shares of our
common stock that ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Services and its associates and other principal
stockholders retained. We also granted to ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Services warrants to acquire
540,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share for
a period of 18 months. One-half of these warrants were subject to
cancellation for no additional consideration under certain conditions as
outlined in the warrant table.
Before the completion of the reorganization, we were required to amend
our Articles of Incorporation to:
reflect a re-capitalization of our common stock from 50,000,000
shares at a par value of $0.001 per share to 100,000,000 shares,
with no change in the par value;
effect a 1.65 for 1 forward split of our outstanding common stock;
and
change our name to "Wizzard Software Corporation."
This forward split is reflected in all computations that are contained in
our registration statement or this prospectus.
On May 22, 2001, we acquired 100% of the outstanding securities of Speech
Systems, Inc., a Florida corporation, in exchange for 500,000 shares of our
common stock. The assets of Speech Systems consisted solely of all right,
title and interest in certain copyrights, patents, trademarks, trade secrets
and other legal protections registered, granted or applied for and relating to
Active X Voice Tools, a programming tool developed by ▇▇. ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇. Dr.
38
Costilo received 403,000 of these shares as the principal stockholder of
Speech Systems and was elected to our Board of Directors on June 4, 2001.
On September 14, 2001, Wizzard and Maricopa Equity Management Corp.,
a Minnesota corporation, executed a Securities Purchase Agreement under which
we sold Maricopa Series 2001-A Eight Percent (8%) Convertible Notes in the
aggregate principal amount of $250,000. The material terms of the Notes are
fully discussed in the description of our securities.
Business.
---------
General
-------
Wizzard's goal is to be the first choice for companies wanting to adopt
speech recognition software.
We plan to use speech technology partners as resellers and promoters to
achieve rapid growth for our speech recognition programming tools and
products. By using Wizzard's internal and commercially available programming
tools, libraries and pre-made templates, developers using Visual Basic, Visual
C, Borland Delphi, Java, VB Script and Java Script can add speech recognition
for call centers, telephone information entry and desktop forms and
applications, as well as inventory and transaction processing systems.
In management's opinion, the long-term growth and survival of telephone
Interactive Voice Response or "IVR" and desktop Graphical User Interfaces or
"GUI" depend solely on speech recognition as the primary means of navigation
and data entry. We believe that using speech to enter data is more natural
than entering information with the fingers, one character at a time. Until
now, building Conversational Interactive Voice Response or "CIVR" systems has
been difficult and costly. Wizzard's goal is to make this natural form of
interaction with technology as common as speaking to the person sitting next
to you. Over time, as the performance of speech recognition technology
improves, and as the cost of writing and deploying intelligent CIVR
applications decreases, new CIVR applications will become possible. We
believe that our approach to building and deploying speech recognition
applications and programming tools will make using speech recognition
technology easier, and will allow us to create speech recognition applications
faster and less expensively than our competition.
Wizzard Delaware was founded in 1996 with the goal of becoming a complete
speech recognition solution provider. Using speech recognition technology,
customers can accomplish tasks faster and easier than they could using a
traditional keyboard. While not all computing tasks can be made more
efficient by adding speech recognition technology, the ability to use the most
natural form of communication, one's voice, does improve productivity in many
areas. Increased productivity saves significant time and money for users.
When Wizzard Delaware was founded, the emphasis in the speech recognition
industry was on the accuracy of the speech recognition engine itself. A
company without its own speech recognition engine was not considered to be a
viable industry participant. Our founders, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇,
however, believed that the future of the industry would not be based on the
actual speech recognition engine, but on how that technology was applied in
the workplace. Our founders believed that having a powerful speech
recognition engine would be desirable, but that if it did not work with the
39
software that businesses use, it would be useless. We anticipated that
speech recognition engines created by entities such as Dragon Systems, IBM,
Lernout & Hauspie, Philips and Microsoft would eventually become just one
piece of a more complex equation. Messrs. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and Geronian further
predicted that speech recognition engines would become commonplace and that
eventually Microsoft would install a speech recognition engine in its
operating system, making it ubiquitous.
Wizzard's founders believed that how the speech engine interacted with
databases, telephone call centers, customer relationship management software,
order entry applications, forms, patient and client notes would provide the
greatest future growth and revenue possibilities. No two companies are the
same, and their workers use a variety of software to perform their jobs.
Therefore, when the time came, companies would require multiple applications
using customized speech recognition. With this in mind, we set out to build a
large selection of internal development programming tools or building blocks.
These tools would allow Wizzard's programmers to construct speech recognition
applications more efficiently than our competitors by having the majority of
the work already completed. These tools would allow Wizzard to create
applications that work with any speech recognition engine. This would
eliminate our worry about which speech recognition engine manufacturer to
align with, as well as the need for us to have an engine of or own. We
believed that once the accuracy of the speech recognition engines reached a
productive level, primary revenues would come from delivering customized
programming tools and applications using speech recognition.
It was only recently, when IBM, Dragon and other speech recognition
engine manufacturers released the latest version of their engines, that speech
recognition accuracy became productive for desktop users. While still not a
perfect technology, after six years of working and planning, speech
recognition technology is finally at a point where it is poised to become
widely accessible, and where Wizzard's speech recognition enabled applications
and programming tools will show their productivity benefits. Microsoft
recently released speech recognition in its MS OfficeXP product. Now,
OfficeXP users all over the country will soon have a speech recognition engine
that works well, but only allows them to dictate into MS Word, Outlook and
Excel. Because the speech recognition engine included with MS OfficeXP is
based on the open Speech API standard, Wizzard's programming tools and
applications will work with this engine. Microsoft also plans to include a
version of its speech recognition engine in the WindowsXP operating system.
Very soon, almost everyone will have an engine in his or her computer. We
believe that this will open a very large market to us.
Products and Marketing Strategy.
--------------------------------
The general consensus in the software industry is that, out of 120
million total users of Microsoft's Office product, 45 million will upgrade to
the new version in the next 18 months. This translates into 45 million
potential new speech recognition users. Wizzard believes that, once these
users see the benefits of speech recognition interaction with their computers,
there will be an increased demand to add speech recognition to other
applications outside of MS Office. We believe that we are in position to
capitalize on this demand by delivering:
* programming tools;
* customized application development services for businesses;
and
40
* consumer applications.
Programming Tools.
------------------
ActiveX Voice Tools 7.0 -
With so many business workers soon to be using speech recognition with MS
OfficeXP and WindowsXP, Wizzard believes that the demand to expand speech
recognition to other applications beyond MS OfficeXP will increase
significantly. In response, businesses will explore the possibility of adding
speech recognition to other software applications their employees use. When a
software programmer or developer wants to create an application to run on
Windows, they use programming tools. We believe that our programming tools
will allow the most general developer to design and implement low-cost speech
recognition solutions. In preparation for the increased demand for speech
recognition application development, we recently purchased the ActiveX Voice
Tools created by Speech Solutions. The ActiveX Voice Tools have won the
Visual Basic Programmer's Journal Award for being the best speech recognition
programming tools on the market for the last two years. By purchasing the
best commercially available programming tools for speech recognition
application development, and by combining them with Wizzard's internal tools
developed over the last five years, we believe that we now have the best set
of programming tools in the speech recognition industry.
We plan to sell ActiveX Voice Tools 7.0 through our web site, various
programming trade journals such as Programmers' Paradise and Visual Basic
Programmers Journal; value added resellers; and at programming trade shows.
Traditionally, software programmers are very loyal to the tools they use.
Therefore, we believe that our competitors will have difficulty supplanting
our early market penetration. With Wizzard's technical lead, our goal is for
our ActiveX Voice Tools to become the standard by which all speech recognition
applications are created.
MedBuilder ToolKit -
The MedBuilder ToolKit allows medical IT professionals to add speech
recognition to the pharmaceutical order process for major government hospital
information systems or "CHCS" used in most military medical facilities. This
allows doctors to enter pharmaceutical "ICD-9" and "CPT" codes in a much more
productive manner. Future applications of this toolkit will allow medical IT
professionals to speech enable any list-oriented process, such as lab orders,
within CHCS hospital information systems. By adding speech recognition to
this system, and by reducing the amount of keystrokes required to complete
specific repetitive tasks, we believe that doctors can save up to one hour per
day.
This product is a subpart of Wizzard's Voice Tools product. It allows
the average information technology professional or "IT" professional to add
speech recognition to certain areas based on specific job requirements.
Rather than a "one size fits all" application, or using programming tools
which require costly programming resources, the MedBuilder ToolKit can be used
by a non programmer, saving customers time and money. With the power of our
internal programming tool, Wizzard can build these types of customized toolkit
subsets very quickly and can offer this type of product for a wide variety of
enterprises beyond the healthcare market.
41
We expect that MedBuilder 1.0 will retail for $10,000 to $60,000, based
on the number of seats per facility. Simultaneous with the release of the
MedBuilder 1.0 ToolKit, Wizzard has announced the formation of a Tier One
marketing partnership with TrueGrit Information Systems Inc., an IBM certified
speech reseller, to market MedBuilder 1.0 ToolKit to the 175 U.S. military
hospitals and clinics worldwide. In the future, Wizzard plans to sign up
additional resellers and value added resellers to market this product to for-
profit hospitals.
Envox UM Tools
Telephony speech recognition, as opposed to desktop speech recognition,
is a strong growth area in our industry. Envox is a leading maker of software
tools for standard DTMF, or touch tone, call centers. We have formed a
strategic partnership with Envox which we expect to result in our customized
e-mail messaging tools being included on the next version of Envox's
development environment, to be released in early 2002. The resulting
applications developed with these tools will allow mobile workers to call in
and check their Exchange or Outlook e-mail through the telephone, using speech
recognition technology. We expect the inclusion of Wizzard's tools to drive
sales by allowing Envox's approximately 3,000 resellers and developers, in
their established partner channel, to return to previous accounts and
customers and allow them to expand on their current telephone systems. Envox
has been marketing its development platform aggressively, and we believe that
this is the one missing piece of technology that their customers have been
consistently requesting. Wizzard is in the process of filling that need now.
An Alpha version is currently being tested and as soon as we have feedback
from Envox, we will move to Beta stage testing. Wizzard expects to have its
UM tools burned into Envox's CD-ROM, and to begin collecting licensing fees of
approximately $80 per port, by early 2002.
Additional Programming Tools -
In addition to the programming tools mentioned above, Wizzard also has
tools for:
ActiveX/COM DLL SMAPI Objects for IBM ViaVoice speech recognition
engine, which allows Wizzard to deliver solutions using IBM's
ViaVoice engine;
SMAPI Controls ActiveX/COM OCX for the IBM ViaVoice engine, which
allows outside developers to create customized speech recognition
applications using IBM's speech engine;
IVA SDK Script, a scripting language for use by end users to
customize our speech recognition applications so that minimal
behavioral modifications are necessary for the user to
productively use speech recognition. This allows the end user to
easily tailor our application to his or her specific habits and
repetitions.
Custom Development Services.
----------------------------
We come into contact with large numbers of software developers interested
in building speech recognition applications. Most of these developers will be
employed by businesses in the U.S. and will have been instructed to
investigate and develop a speech recognition application for their companies.
42
Because speech recognition application development is relatively new, and
since there are few programmers trained in this process, we will also offer to
create and customize our customers' particular speech enabled applications.
Our programming team has significant experience in this area, and we can
provide consulting services at any stage of the speech recognition application
development process. Wizzard is in position to offer our customers services
ranging from proof of concept modeling, through the design and architecture
phase, to total speech application development, testing and release product
fulfillment. We believe that this will allow clients to save considerable
money over the alternative of employing, training and managing several
programmers to do the job in-house. In addition to customization services,
Wizzard also plans to offer installation, training and ongoing technical
support services that can significantly increase revenues generated on a per
customer basis.
We believe that offering customized solutions across entire industries
will fuel future growth. If we build a custom application for a hospital that
uses a specific software application for patient records, we can then partner
with a consulting firm or value added reseller specializing in the healthcare
industry, and have them sell the solution to hospitals across the country. We
have begun this strategy with our MedBuilder Toolkit we developed the
solution and then formed a marketing partnership with one of the leading sales
organizations in that industry. Wizzard is currently working with established
market leaders within well-defined markets to help them differentiate
themselves from their competition by voice enabling their industry-leading
software applications. Law enforcement, real estate and financial service
industries have been identified as markets with revenue potential for Wizzard.
This model can work with virtually any customized solution we build, with the
potential for revenue growth in both product sales and customization services.
Consumer Applications.
----------------------
Interactive Voice Assistant
We offer an Interactive Voice Assistant, or "IVA," through which a
character appears on the desktop and interacts with the user verbally through
speech recognition and text-to-speech technology, providing the user with a
unique and functional Personal Assistant. Because it supports over 50 of the
most popular software applications, Wizzard's IVA can perform e-mail
functions, surf the web, assist in dictating letters and instant messages, and
much more. Wizzard's IVA product currently uses IBM's ViaVoice speech
recognition engine through a five-year technology and marketing partnership
between IBM and Wizzard. We are now finalizing changes to IVA so that it will
seamlessly plug into the speech recognition engine included with MS OfficeXP;
but beyond this, its speech capabilities have expanded to other software
applications such as AOL, MSN, Internet Explorer, Quicken, Hotmail, Eudora,
Lotus Notes, ICQ, AOL Messenger, DialPad, Global Language Translator, and
ACT!. The product has very limited competition. While this product is not
currently Wizzard's primary focus, in the future we expect it to be the
standard for consumers seeking to expand their speech recognition capabilities
beyond MS OfficeXP. We believe that the market for this type of product is
large and that our IVA is years ahead of any similar product currently
available.
Thanks to a co-marketing agreement between Wizzard and Quixtar, over
400,000 Quixtar distributors can now earn a commission from Quixtar for
marketing our IVA product to their customers. We have created demo CD-ROMs
43
and other sales tools for these distributors, and have been shipping and test
marketing IVA via this channel for two years. Rather than launch this sales
program now, we plan to grow our other product lines prior to the launch of
IVA, and to wait for the proliferation of speech recognition engines through
MS OfficeXP and WindowsXP. We anticipate that additional sales channels for
growth beyond the Quixtar distribution network will be: Wizzard's web site,
retail stores, AOL, The Home Shopping Network and partnerships with companies
whose products we have added a speech recognition interface to, such as
Intuit, AOL and Eudora.
Support-Installation-Training Services.
---------------------------------------
Voice Tools Support: We estimate that 10% of our customers will purchase
a $1,000 Level 3 annual support package from Wizzard.
Envox UM Tools Support: We estimate that 10 new resellers will purchase
Level 3 support per quarter, with that number growing to 20 new resellers per
quarter beginning in the fourth quarter of 2002, and continuing at 20 per
quarter through the third quarter of 2003. The price will be $1,250 per year.
IVA Support: Free to consumers.
MedBuilder Tools Support: We estimate that the customer will make at
least 5 calls for support at $50 per call.
Custom Development Contracts: All custom development contracts will
include a service agreement which will provide for ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇ technical support,
training the end users, training the trainer and installation support. These
service agreements typically generate revenue in excess of 25% of the
development contract, but can be much higher if travel and on-site support is
necessary.
Research and Development
------------------------
During the calendar years ended December 31, 1999, and 2000, we spent
$96,421 and $95,325, respectively, on research and development.
Our research and development over the last three years has focused on our
Interactive Voice Assistance product as well as our internal speech
recognition development tools. Our IVA has undergone two major revisions
during this period of time solely based upon customer feedback. We have
created internally hundreds of programming objects and modules which allow our
engineers to create better speech recognition applications, faster and more
efficiently. Our programmers use these modules to create applications without
having to recreate the wheel for every customer. A majority of the customized
product is already completed, and it becomes a factor of piecing the correct
modules together and customizing the interface for the customer by using these
internal programming modules. We plan to port our IVA platform as well as our
programming tools to the SAPI 5.0 standard over the next year. This will
allow our applications to work with any brand of speech recognition engine and
make us less reliant on specific companies. We plan a new release of our IVA
product in the first quarter of 2002, as well as a new set of internal tools
for developers in the fourth quarter of 2001.
Necessary Material
-------------------
44
Beyond basic materials such as CD-ROMs, jewel cases that hold the CD-ROMs
and printing, which are all readily available from multiple sources, we are
dependant upon 3-5 speech recognition companies to license us their speech
recognition engines. It is these engines on which we create our applications.
We do not foresee any difficulty in continuing to license these engines, due
to the competitive market between the manufacturers of the speech recognition
engines. Furthermore, Microsoft is beginning to distribute their new speech
recognition engine for free in upcoming versions of their Windows operation
system and their Office suite of business products. The microphones that we
ship with our products are purchased from ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Electronics and Plantronics
and are readily available through other companies in equally acceptable
quality levels due to an extremely competitive market for microphone headsets.
Licenses
--------
We have the following licenses that are integral to our business
operations:
IBM ViaVoice speech recognition engine;
Dragon speech recognition engine; and
Microsoft Agent Technology;
We pay IBM a royalty of $18.00 for every IVA copy that we sell. This
royalty is reduced to $12.00 if we sell more than 10,000 units.
Patents Pending
---------------
We have filed for the following patents, but we cannot assure that any
patents will be issued to us:
Interactive Voice-Driven Training Manual and Process, filed July 12,
2000, Serial No. 60/217,688; and System and Process for Adjusting Device
Operating Characteristics to Improve Software Application Performance, and
System and Method for Handling Hardware Conflicts Generated by Competing
Software Applications, filed July 12, 2000, Serial No. 60/217,739.
Interactive Voice-Driven Training Manual and Process
----------------------------------------------------
This invention relates to an interactive training manual and process and
more particularly to achieve interactive training for multiple third party
software applications. One or more of the interactive characters appear on
the computer screen and may be animated while the Talking Manual generates
speech through speech synthesis and otherwise. In the preferred embodiment,
these interactive characters simulate live characters that generate speech
being broadcast to a trainee. The Talking Manual methodically walks the
trainee through the process of how to use certain software applications or
other trains the user on specified information both visually and verbally.
System and Process for Adjusting Devise Operation Characteristics to
Improve Software Application Performance, and System and Method for
Handling Hardware Conflicts Generated by Competing Software
Applications
------------
45
This invention allows for the automatic adjustment of the volume control
of the sound card on personal computers and laptops. Because certain hardware
and software devices adjust the sound card volume when installed or during
use, the sound card volume may not be at the appropriate level for use with
speech recognition. Therefore, this process allows for the monitoring of the
sound card volume and the adjustment to the appropriate level for use with
speech recognition while the user is in the process of using speech
recognition.
Environmental Compliance
------------------------
We do not believe that there are any material laws, rules or regulations
regarding environmental concerns that are applicable to our present or
intended business operations.
Governmental Regulations
------------------------
There are no present governmental regulations that are likely to affect
our present or proposed business operations. State sales taxes are not
currently required to be collected on Internet sales, but any future sales tax
requirements may affect our customer's purchasing decisions, and some
purchasers may stop ordering products over the Internet. As of October 21,
2001, the United State Congress had not extended its prohibition on state
taxes and regulation of the Internet, and the effects of this cannot yet be
predicted.
Employees
---------
Currently, we have seven full time employees and two part time employees.
We plan to bring this number up to 20 in 2002, if the necessary funding can be
raised to expand our operations. The majority of new employees will come in
the form of day to day management as well as sales personnel. We plan to hire
a Vice President of Operations, as well as a Vice President of Sales and
Marketing, as soon as funds to support these positions become available. We
also plan to hire several sales persons to handle our trade shows as well as
market our customized development services to businesses nationwide.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
---------------------------------------------------------
Plan of Operation.
------------------
Over the next 12 months, we plan to expand our marketing efforts for our
products. Currently, we offer this product through our own web site as well
as through resellers and a few strategic online partners. We plan to grow our
distribution channels to include other high profile companies to expand our
products' reach and exposure. This will include:
* Growing the number of distributors for our consumer products.
We plan to use ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇'s 400,000 Independent Business
Operators, who earn commissions selling our product to their
customers, to promote our products, expanding our presence
nationwide;
46
* Acquiring additional distribution partners for our programming
tools; and
* Hiring and training an internal sales force of at least 10
highly motivated, high quality individuals who will blanket
the U. S. Market in search of companies needing speech
recognition solutions for our customization solutions.
We also plan to generate leads for these sales people through various
partnerships and a conservative, extremely targeted print market campaign. We
will need to raise at least $1,000,000 and preferably $3,000,000 to
$5,000,0000 during the next two years to cover intended operations. We are
considering various financing options and anticipate executing one or more of
our financing options in the near future. Currently, our cash on hand will
not last us through the next 12 months, and we may have to curtail operations.
This could have a very adverse effect on our future prospects.
Our Independent Auditor's Report contains a "going concern" qualification
because we have not yet established profitable operations, have incurred
significant losses since our inception, our current liabilities exceed our
current assets at the time of their report and we had a stockholders' deficit
at the time of their report. We still have yet to establish profitable
operations and have and continue to incur losses on our operations, along with
not having sufficient cash on hand for intended operations for the next 12
months.
Results of Operations.
----------------------
Sales for the six months ended June 30, 2001, were $60,146 a decrease of
$70,415 or 54% as compared with $131,564 for the six month ended June 30,
2000. Sales for the year ended December 31, 2000, were $189,625, a decrease
of $51,976 or 22% as compared with $241,601 for the year ended December 31,
1999. The decrease in sales was due to successful market penetration in 1999
which resulted in a smaller opportunity in 2000.
Operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2001, were $431,947,
a decrease of $365,440 or 46% as compared with $797,387 for the six month
ended June 30, 2000. The decrease in expenses was due to . Operating
expenses for the year ended December 31, 2000 were $1,503,994, an increase of
$770,266 or 105% as compared with $733,728 for the year ended December 31,
1999. The increase in expenses was due to
The net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2001, was $(401,509), a
decrease of $318,547 or 44% as compared with $(720,056) for the six month
ended June 30, 2000. The decrease in the net loss was primarily
attributable to the decreases in operating expenses, including a reduction in
the number of employees and marketing expenditures related to our customers.
Marketing efforts are now conducted through a few key business partnerships,
resulting in lower marketing costs and fewer employees. The net loss for the
year ended December 31, 2000 was $(1,380,670), an increase of $754,417 or 120%
as compared with a net loss of $626,253 for the year ended December 31, 1999.
The increased net loss was due to increase operating expenses including
Liquidity and Capital Resources.

requirements of the private placement offering to complete the Wizzard
Delaware reorganization, and a working capital deficit of $(683,707). During
the year ended December 31, 2000, we used $1,259,494 in operations and used a

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
----------------------------------------------
Transactions with Management and Others.
----------------------------------------
There have been no material transactions, series of similar transactions
or currently proposed transactions, to which our company or any of our
subsidiaries was or is to be a party, in which the amount involved exceeded
$60,000 and in which any director or executive officer, promoter or founder or
any security holder who is known to us to own of record or beneficially more
than five percent of our common stock, or any member of the immediate family
of any of the foregoing persons, or any promoter or founder had a material
interest.
MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
--------------------------------------------------------
Market Information.
-------------------
Our common stock is currently traded on the OTC Bulletin Board of the
NASD under the symbol "WIZD." However, the market for our common stock is
extremely limited in volume. We can not guarantee that the present market for
our common stock will continue or be maintained, and the sale of unregistered
and restricted common stock pursuant to Rule 144, or of the shares being
48
registered for resale under this prospectus by the selling stockholders, may
substantially reduce the market price of our common stock.
The quarterly high and low bid prices for our shares of common stock
since public trading of these shares commenced in April, 2000, are as
follows:
Bid
---
Quarter or period ending: High Low
------------------------- ---- ---
June 30, 2000 $1.00 $1.00
September 30, 2000 $4.00 $1.00
December 31, 2000 $3.25 $0.0625
January 2, 2001 through
February 8, 2001 $1.00 $0.625
February 9, 2001 through
March 31, 2001 $5.375* $3.00*
April 2, 2001 through
June 29, 2001 $3.65* $1.65*
July 2, 2001 through
September 28, 2001 $3.15* $1.58*
* Following a 1.65 for one forward split.
These bid prices were obtained from the National Quotation Bureau,
LLC or the NQB, and do not necessarily reflect actual transactions, retail
markups, ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ or commissions.
Resales of Restricted Securities.
---------------------------------
Approximately 597,967 shares of our common stock are publicly traded.
This number will be increased by the 4,127,383 presently outstanding shares
that may be offered by this prospectus, along with the 1,788,076 shares
underlying the warrants, the 500,000 shares into which the Series 2001-A Eight
Percent (8%) Convertible Notes can be converted and the 100,000 shares that
can be issued for legal services that also may be offered by this prospectus.
We have agreed to acquire by registration or an available exemption from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act all of the remaining
outstanding shares of Wizzard Delaware, our 96%-owned subsidiary. This would
increase our outstanding shares by an additional 588,082 shares. In addition,
there are 11,978,831 shares of our common stock that will have satisfied the
one year holding period for limited resales under Rule 144 on or after
February 7, 2002. This substantial increase in the available shares for
publicly trading from 597,967 shares to 7,210,104 shares on the effective date
of our registration statement and the availability of these other shares for
future public sale may dramatically reduce the price of our common stock on
49
the basis of supply and demand alone.
Holders.
--------
As of the date of this prospectus, we have about 83 stockholders. This
figure does not include an indeterminate number of stockholders who may hold
their shares in street name.
Dividends.
----------
We have not declared any cash dividends on our common stock, and do not
intend to declare dividends in the foreseeable future. Management intends to
use all available funds for the development of our plan of operation. There
are no material restrictions limiting, or that are likely to limit, our
ability to pay dividends on our common stock.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
Board of Directors
WIZZARD SOFTWARE CORPORATION
(Formerly Balanced Living, Inc.)
Salt Lake City, Utah
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Wizzard Software
Corporation, (formerly Balanced Living, Inc.) [a development stage company] as
of December 31, 2000, and the related statements of operations, stockholders'
(deficit) and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999 and
from inception on January 26, 1998 through December 31, 2000. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements audited by us present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of Wizzard Software Corporation,
(formerly Balanced Living, Inc.) as of December 31, 2000, and the results of
its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2000 and
1999 and for the period from inception through December 31, 2000, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company
will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 7 to the financial
statements, the Company has not yet established profitable operations, has
incurred significant losses since its inception has current liabilities in
excess of current assets and has a stockholders' deficit. These factors raise
substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
Management's plans in regards to these matters are also described in Note 7.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from
the outcome of these uncertainties.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 5 - INCOME TAXES
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes". SFAS
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. At December 31, 2000 the
Company has unused operating loss carryforwards of approximately $645,000
which may be applied against future taxable income and which expire in
2020.
These unused operating loss carryforwards have been limited due to the
change in control of the Company. 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 the Company has established a valuation allowance 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 $220,000 as of December 31, 2000 with an
offsetting valuation allowance of the same amount resulting in a change in
the valuation allowance of approximately $30,000 during 2000.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 7 GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles which contemplate continuation of
the Company as a going concern. However, the Company, has not yet
established profitable operations, has incurred significant losses since
inception, and has a stockholder's deficit. The Company also has current
liabilities in excess of current assets (a working capital deficiency).
These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to
continue as a going concern. In this regard, management is proposing to
raise additional funds through loans and/or through additional sales of its
common stock which funds will be used to assist in establishing on-going
operations. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in
raising this additional capital or achieving profitable operations. The
financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from
the outcome of these uncertainties.
NOTE 8 SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On February 7, 2001, the Company completed the Plan of Reorganization and
Stock Exchange agreement, through the issuance 13,404,831 shares of stock
for 96% of WSC. The merger was accounted for as a recapitalization of the
Subsidiary, wherein WSC became a 96% owned subsidiary of the Parent. In
connection with the agreement 3,725,000 shares of the Company's Common
stock were contributed back and cancelled. The Company also amended it's
articles of incorporation to increase the authorized common shares to
100,000,000, to effect a 1.65 to 1 forward stock split and to change the
name of the Company to Wizzard Software Corporation.
Subsequent to the year ended December 31, 2000, the Company sold the
minimum 500,000 shares in the Company's confidential private placement
offering As of March 13, 2001, the Company had sold 596,000 shares under
the offering for aggregate gross proceeds of $596,000. This offering will
continue until the earlier of April 1, 2001 or the sale of 9,000,000 shares
of the company's Common stock. Costs incurred in connection with the
offering will be deferred and offset against the proceeds of the offering.
At December 31, 2000, $29517 of stock offering cost had been incurred.

This summary of significant accounting policies of Wizzard

the laws of the State of Delaware. The Corporation engages primarily in
the development, sale, and service of computer software products.
Estimates
The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and

considers all highly liquid debt instruments with an original maturity
date of three months or less to be cash.

[B] To record the acquisition of a 96% interest in the SUBSIDIARY by
PARENT through the issuance of 13,404,831 shares of post-split
common stock for 13,090,000 shares of the subsidiary and eliminate
the retained earned deficit of Parent prior to the date of the
acquisition. The ownership interests of the former owners of
Subsidiary in the combined enterprise will be greater than the
ongoing shareholders of Parent and, accordingly, the management of
Subsidiary will assume operating control of the combined
enterprise. Consequently, the acquisition is accounted for as the
recapitalization of Subsidiary, wherein Subsidiary purchased the
assets of PARENT and accounted for the transaction as a "Reverse
Purchase" for accounting purposes.
[C] No amount has been reflected for the non-controlling interest in
the SUBSIDIARY due to a total stockholder's deficit of $(523,485)
at December 31, 2000. There were approximately 545,938 shares held
by non-controlling individuals or approximately 4% of the
outstanding shares of the Subsidiary.
[D] To record the contribution and cancellation of 3,725,000 shares of
PARENT'S common stock.
NOTE 4 PROFORMA (LOSS) PER SHARE
The proforma (loss) per share is computed based on the number of shares
outstanding, after adjustment for shares issued in the acquisition and the
limited offering, as though all shares issued in the acquisition and
limited offering had been outstanding from the beginning of the periods
presented.

NOTE 7 - CAPITAL STOCK (Continued)
Warrants - During April 2001, the Company issued 100,000 warrants to
purchase the Company's common stock at $2.00 per share for a period of 5
years. As of June 30, 2001, the Company had issued 65,000 warrants in
connection with obtaining debt financing (See Note 6). The warrants are
exercisable at $1.25 per share and expire on August 10, 2005. As of June

The Company had issued an additional 1,008,076 warrants to purchase common
shares of the Company at prices ranging from $1.00 to $1.50 per share,
expiring August 6, 2002 through January 1, 2004, for services rendered in
connection with the Company's private placement offering. As of June 30,
2001, none of these warrants had been exercised.
NOTE 8 - INCOME TAXES
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes". SFAS
No. 109 requires the Company to provide a net deferred tax asset/liability
equal to the expected future tax benefit/expense of temporary reporting
differences between book and tax accounting methods and any available
operating loss or tax credit carryforwards. The Company has available at
June 30, 2001 operating loss carryforwards of approximately $3,300,000
which may be applied against future taxable income and which expires in
various years through 2020.
The amount of and ultimate realization of the benefits from the operating
loss carryforward 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 carryforward the
Company has established a valuation allowance equal to the amount of the
loss carryforward and, therefore, no deferred tax asset has been recognized
for the loss carryforward. The net deferred tax asset is approximately
$1,120,000 as of June 30, 2001, with an offsetting valuation allowance of
the same amount. The change in the valuation allowance for the period
ended June 30, 2001 is approximately $148,000.
NOTE 9 - OPERATING LEASES
The Company leases office space under an operating lease agreement. The
lease calls monthly payments of $2,000 and expires on June 31, 2001. The
Company's future minimum rental under this operating lease amounts to $0 at
June 30, 2001. Rent expense for the six months ended June 30, 2001 was
$12,000.

effect would be anti-dilutive.
NOTE 11 - GOING CONCERN
The accompanying condensed financial statements have been prepared in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplate
continuation of the Company as a going concern. However, the Company has
incurred significant losses in recent years and has current liabilities in
excess of current assets and has not yet been successful in establishing
profitable operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the
ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. In this regard,
management plans to mitigate this doubt by raising additional funds through
debt and/or equity offerings and by substantially increasing sales. There
is no assurance that the Company will be successful in achieving profitable
operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that
might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL
DISCLOSURE
----------
On or about May 7, 2001, our Board of Directors engaged ▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇,
Certified Public Accountant, of Clinton, Maryland, to audit our financial
statements.
The only reason for the change of accountants was the completion of
the Wizzard Delaware reorganization because ▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇ were the
independent certified accountants for Wizzard Delaware prior to the completion
of this reorganization.
The engagement of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇ was not accepted by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇
because that firm has determined that it does not desire to engage in auditing
services for publicly held companies; accordingly, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇,
Certified Public Accountants, of Salt Lake City, Utah, who audited the
financial statements of the Company for the years ended December 31, 2000 and
1999, have been reinstated as the Company's auditors.
The Company may continue its search for auditors whose business
location is more closely proximate to the principal executive offices and the
location where its principle business operations are conducted in Pittsburgh,
Pennsylvania.

reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no
reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.
Unless limited by the Articles of Incorporation, Section ▇-▇▇▇-▇▇▇
authorizes a director to apply for indemnification to the court conducting the
proceeding or another court of competent jurisdiction. Section ▇-▇▇▇-▇▇▇
extends this right to officers of a corporation as well.
Unless limited by the Articles of Incorporation, Section ▇-▇▇▇-▇▇▇
requires that a corporation indemnify a director who was wholly successful in
defending any proceeding to which he or she was a party against reasonable
expenses incurred in connection therewith. Unless limited by the Articles of
Incorporation, Section ▇-▇▇▇-▇▇▇ extends this protection to officers of a
corporation as well.
Pursuant to Section ▇-▇▇▇-▇▇▇, the corporation may advance a
director's expenses incurred in defending any action or proceeding upon
receipt of an undertaking and a written affirmation of his or her good faith
belief that he or she has met the standard of conduct specified in Section ▇-
▇▇▇-▇▇▇. Unless limited by the Articles of Incorporation, Section ▇-▇▇▇-▇▇▇
extends this protection to officers of a corporation as well.
Regardless of whether a director, officer, employee or agent has the
right to indemnity under the Colorado Code, Section ▇-▇▇▇-▇▇▇ allows the
corporation to purchase and maintain insurance on his or her behalf against
liability resulting from his or her corporate role.
Article VIII of the Company's Bylaws reiterates the provisions of
Section ▇-▇▇▇-▇▇▇ of the Colorado Code, and extends this protection to
officers and employees of the Company. Article VIII also provides that a
judgment or conviction, whether based upon a plea of guilty or nolo contendere
or its equivalent, or after trial, shall not in and of itself be deemed to be
an adjudication that such director, officer or employee is liable to the
Company for negligence or misconduct in the performance of his or her duties.
This determination can be made, at the option of the director, officer or
employee seeking indemnification in any of the following manners: (a) order of
the court or administrative agency having jurisdiction of the action, suit or
proceeding; (b) resolution of a majority of the non-interested members of the
Board of Directors; (c) if there is no quorum after excluding interested
directors, by majority resolution of a committee of non-interested
stockholders and directors appointed by the Board of Directors; (d) resolution
of a majority of the quorum directors at any meeting; or (e) an order of any
court having jurisdiction over the Company.

Item 28. Undertakings
------------
We hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which it offers or sells securities,
a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement to:
(i) include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of
the Securities Act;
(ii) reflect in the prospectus any facts or events which,
individually or together, represent a fundamental change in the information in
the registration statement; and, notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase
or decrease in volume of securities offered, if the total dollar value of
securities offered would not exceed that which was registered, and any
deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may
be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to
Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in the volume and price
represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price
set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective
Registration Statement; and
(iii) include any additional or changed material information
on the plan of distribution.
(2) For determining liability under the Securities Act, to treat each
post-effective amendment as a new registration statement of the securities
offered, and the offering of the securities at that time shall be deemed to be
the initial bona fide offering.
(3) To file a post-effective amendment to remove from registration any
of the securities that remain unsold at the end of the offering.
(4) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, executive officers
and controlling persons the foregoing provisions or otherwise, we have been
advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission that
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act
and is, therefore, unenforceable. If a claim for indemnification against
these liabilities, other than our payment of expenses incurred or paid by any
of our directors, executive officers or controlling persons in the successful
defense of any action, suit or proceeding, is asserted by the director,
executive officer or controlling person in connection with the securities
being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has
been settled by a controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether indemnification by us is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of that issue.
