Products Competitive Advantage

Our products attract a broad market base, targeting corporate clients worldwide and providing comprehensive financial data services in a wide selection of custom packages. Markets for our services include:

Our financial data services provide a sensible solution to the high up-front cost of in-house developed software. We leverage our technical talent and innovative infrastructure across multiple client platforms, thus creating an economical, efficient and scalable system that can manage and deliver information application capabilities to an unlimited number of entities from data centers and content feeds across the worldwide web and over telecommunications lines. Our data feeds have among the lowest latency of any available in the market and are developed and delivered using technology that is more current than that used by many major competitors in this market. Our marketing strategy is based on the following key competitive advantages:

Superior Products – Our goal has always been to create the best products on the market. We develop all of our products in-house and take pride in creating quality applications. Our products stand out for their superior design, user-friendliness, and ease of implementation, customizability, reliability, data speed, accuracy and comprehensiveness.

Custom Development – QuoteMedia’s ability to provide complete custom design and development services differentiates us from our competitors. We are able to create custom market data applications and software architected precisely to our clients’ specifications, and the speed with which we are able to take a product from concept to deliverable truly sets us apart.

Data Speed and Quality – Our connections to the world’s exchanges for equities and derivatives have most sources of latency removed. This allows us to deliver extremely fast, accurate, and reliable data.

Single Source Provider – Clients are eager to acquire premium market data feeds, financial applications, streaming solutions, and news and research information from a single source provider. Rather than having to license applications, information and market data from multiple sources, our clients enjoy the benefits of dealing with a single comprehensive market data supplier.

Cutting Edge Data Delivery Technology – We use state-of-the-art hardware and software systems for maximum speed and efficiency. This provides us with a distinct advantage over our competitors, most of whom use outdated data delivery technologies based on legacy style data networks.

Effective Marketing – We have implemented a marketing strategy that focuses on multiple markets for our products and services, from individual non professional end users to corporate and institutional clients and their customer bases. We have a barter agreement with Forbes Magazine whereby we provide portfolio management services to Forbes.com users in exchange for advertising credits in Forbes magazine.

Low Infrastructure Costs – Because of the unique technological advancements in data delivery developed by our company, our distribution model and the strategic partnerships that are in place, we have maintained very low corporate overhead. All of our development is completed in-house, resulting in significant cost efficiencies. This allows us to focus our resources on data management, data acquisition, customer satisfaction, and business

development activities. Our low cost base of development and operation also allows us to maintain very competitive pricing.

Competition

Many companies provide financial market data and related information. Companies such as Bloomberg, Thompson Reuters and Interactive Data Corporation (IDC) are some of the data providers in this highly competitive market place.

While there are many financial data providers, what mainly differentiates us from others is that we offer clients a comprehensive solution for stock market related information provisioning with more advanced technologies than employed by most our competitors. Our diversity of technical expertise, agile responsiveness to custom corporate requirements and development needs, and proven commitment to superior delivery technologies have established QuoteMedia as a frontrunner in the financial market data industry.

QuoteMedia’s array of products benefit clients with an exceptional number of strong technical differentiators in embedded, fully private-labeled and seamlessly integrated environments which combine to offer strong market differentiation.

Table of Contents

You should consider carefully the following factors, in addition to those discussed elsewhere in this report, in evaluating our company and our business.

Declining activity levels in the securities markets, or the failure of market participants, could lower demand for our services. Our business is dependent upon the health of the financial markets as well as the financial health of the participants in those markets. The current downturn in the global financial markets has resulted in lower activity levels, including lower trading volumes and a substantial reduction in the number of issuances of new securities. It has also led to the collapse of some market participants. Some of the demand for financial market data is dependent upon activity levels in the securities markets while other demand is static and is not dependent on activity levels. In the event the current downturn in the global financial markets results in a prolonged, significant decline in activity levels or continues to have an adverse impact on the financial condition of our customers, our revenue could be materially adversely affected

The impact of cost-cutting pressures across the industries we serve could lower demand for our services. During 2010 we saw customers intensify their focus on containing or reducing costs as a result of the more challenging market conditions and this trend may continue into 2011. Customers within the financial services industry that strive to reduce their operating costs may continue to reduce their spending on financial market data and related services. If customers elect to reduce their spending with us, our results of operations could be materially adversely affected. Alternatively, customers may use other strategies to reduce their overall spending on financial market data services, by consolidating their spending with fewer vendors, by selecting vendors with lower-cost offerings or by self-sourcing their need for financial market data. If customers elect to consolidate their spending on financial market data services with other vendors instead of us, if we cannot price our services as aggressively as the competition, or if customers elect to self-source their needs, our results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

Consolidation of financial services within and across industries, or the failure of financial services firms, could lower demand for our services. The current recession has resulted in consolidation among some participants in the financial markets and the collapse of others. We continue to deliver services to a number of customers currently involved in the process of a merger or acquisition. As consolidation occurs and synergies are achieved, there may be fewer potential customers for our services. There are two types of consolidations: consolidations within an industry, such as banking; and across industries, such as consolidations of insurance, banking and brokerage companies. When two companies that separately subscribe to or use our services combine, they may terminate or reduce duplicative subscriptions for our services, or if they are billed on a usage basis, usage may decline due to synergies created by the business combination. A large number of cancellations, or lower utilization on an absolute dollar basis resulting from consolidations, could have a material adverse effect on our revenue. In addition, if financial services firms accounting for a material percentage of our revenues or profit cease operations as a result of bankruptcy, and the assets of such customers are not acquired by successor entities, such event could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

Adverse capital and credit market conditions could limit our access to capital. The capital and credit markets have been experiencing extreme volatility and disruption for more than twelve months. Disruptions, uncertainty or volatility in the capital and credit markets may limit our access to capital required to operate and grow our business. As such, we may be unable to raise capital or bear an unattractive cost of capital which could reduce our financial flexibility.

If we are unable to maintain relationships with key suppliers and providers of market data, we would not be able to provide our services to our customers. We depend on key suppliers for the data we provide to our customers. Some of this data is exclusive to particular suppliers, such as national stock exchanges, and cannot be obtained from other suppliers. In other cases, although the data may be available from secondary sources, the secondary source may not be as adequate or reliable as the primary or preferred source, or we may not be able to obtain replacement data from an alternative supplier without undue cost and expense, if at all. We generally obtain data via license agreements. The disruption of any license agreement with a major data supplier, such as Nexa Technologies, Inc., could disrupt our operations and lead to an adverse impact on our results of operations.

Table of Contents

A prolonged outage at one of our data centers that we share could result in reduced revenue and the loss of customers. Our customers rely on us for time-sensitive, up-to-date data that is reliably delivered. Our business is dependent on our ability to rapidly and efficiently process substantial quantities of data and transactions on our computer-based networks and systems. Our computer operations and those of our suppliers and customers are vulnerable to interruption by fire, natural disaster, power loss, telecommunications failure, terrorist attacks, acts of war, Internet failures, computer viruses and other events beyond our reasonable control. We maintain a back up facility for our major data center that we share with Nexa Techologies, Inc. to seek to minimize the risk that any such event will disrupt operations. In addition, we maintain insurance for such events. However, the business interruption insurance we carry may not be sufficient to compensate us fully for losses or damages that may occur as a result of such events. Any such losses or damages incurred by us could have a material adverse effect on our business. Although we seek to minimize these risks through security measures, controls and a backup data center, there can be no assurance that such efforts will be successful or effective.

We compete against companies with greater financial resources. We operate in highly competitive markets in which we compete with other distributors of financial and business information and related services. We expect competition to continue to be rigorous. Some of our competitors and potential competitors have significantly greater financial, technical and marketing resources than we have. These competitors may be able to expand product offerings and data content more effectively, and to respond more rapidly than us to new or emerging technologies, changes in the industry or changes in customer needs. They may also be in a position to devote greater resources to the development, promotion and sale of their products. Increased competition in the future could limit our ability to maintain or increase our market share or maintain our margins, and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or operating results.

New product offerings by competitors or new technologies could cause our services to become obsolete. We operate in an industry that is characterized by rapid and significant technological change, frequent new services, data content and coverage enhancements, and evolving industry standards. Without the timely introduction of new services and data content and coverage enhancements, our services could become technologically obsolete or inadequate over time, in which case our revenue and operating results would suffer. We expect our competitors to continue to improve the performance of their current services, to enhance data content and coverage and to introduce new services and technologies. These competitors may adapt more quickly to new technologies, changes in the industry and changes in customers’ requirements than we can. If we fail to adequately anticipate customers’ needs and technological trends accurately, we will be unable to introduce new services into the market and our ability to compete would be materially adversely impacted. Further, if we are unsuccessful at developing and introducing new services that are appealing to customers, with acceptable prices and terms, or if any such new services are not made available in a timely manner, our ability to compete would be materially adversely impacted. In both cases our ability to generate revenue could suffer and our business and operating results could be materially adversely affected. We will need to successfully enhance or add to current services in order to effectively expand into new geographic areas. In addition, new services, data content and coverage that we may develop and introduce may not achieve market acceptance and would result in lower revenue.

We may need additional capital with which to implement our business plan and there is no agreement with any third party to provide such capital. Implementing our business plan may require additional equity or debt financing. If we require additional funding or determine it appropriate to raise additional funding in the future, there is no assurance that adequate funding, whether through additional equity financing, debt financing, or other sources, will be available when needed or on terms acceptable to us. Further, any such funding may result in significant dilution to existing stockholders. The inability to obtain sufficient funds from operations and external sources when needed would have a material adverse affect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

We depend on key personnel and expect to hire additional personnel. Our performance substantially depends on the services of R. Keith Guelpa, our Chief Executive Officer and President, and David M. Shworan, President and Chief Executive Officer of QuoteMedia, Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of our company. The loss of Mr. Guelpa or Mr. Shworan, or our other key employees, could have a material adverse affect on our business. Our future success will also depend in large part upon our ability to attract and retain highly skilled management, technical engineers, sales and marketing personnel, and finance and technical personnel. Competition for such personnel is intense and there can be no assurance that we will be able to attract and retain such personnel. The loss of the services of any key personnel, the inability to attract or retain qualified personnel in the future, or any delays

in hiring required personnel, particularly technical engineers and sales personnel, could have a material adverse affect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

We may spend significant amounts of money to protect against security breaches. A party who is able to circumvent our security measures could misappropriate proprietary information or cause interruptions in our Internet operations. We may be required to expend significant capital and resources to protect against the threat of such security breaches or to alleviate problems caused by such breaches. Consumer concern over Internet security has been, and could continue to be, a barrier to commercial activities requiring consumers to send their credit card information over the Internet. Computer viruses, break-ins, or other security problems could lead to misappropriation of proprietary information and interruptions, delays, or cessation in service to our customers. Moreover, until more comprehensive security technologies are developed, the security and privacy concerns of existing and potential customers may inhibit the growth of the Internet as a merchandising medium. Were these risks to occur, our business, results of operations, and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.

The success of our anticipated future growth depends upon our ability to manage successfully the growth of our proposed operations. We expect to experience significant growth in our number of employees and scope of operations. Our future success will depend upon our ability to manage successfully the expansion of our operations. Our ability to manage and support our growth effectively will depend on our ability to implement adequate improvements to financial and management controls, reporting, order entry systems, and other procedures and hire sufficient numbers of financial, accounting, administrative, and management personnel. Our expansion and the resulting growth in the number of our employees will result in increased responsibility for both existing and new management personnel. There can be no assurance that we will be able to identify, attract, and retain experienced accounting and financial personnel. Our future operating results will depend on the ability of our management and other key employees to implement and improve our systems for operations, financial control, and information management and to recruit, train, and manage our employee base. There can be no assurance that we will be able to achieve or manage any such growth successfully or to implement and maintain adequate financial and management controls and procedures. Any inability to do so would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition. Our future success depends upon our ability to address potential market opportunities while managing our expenses to match our ability to finance operations. This need to manage our expenses may place a significant strain on our management and operational resources. If we are unable to manage our expenses effectively, our business, results of operations, and financial condition will be adversely affected.

Penny stock rules may make buying or selling our common stock difficult. Our common stock in the past has been, and from time to time in the future may be, subject to the “penny stock” rules as promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In the event that no exclusion from the definition of a “penny stock” under the Exchange Act is available, then any broker engaging in a transaction in our common stock will be required to provide each customer with:

The bid and offer quotation and compensation information must be provided prior to effecting the transaction and must be contained on the customer’s confirmation. Certain brokers are less willing to engage in transactions involving “penny stocks” as a result of the additional disclosure requirements described above, which may make it more difficult for holders of our common stock to dispose of their shares.

Investors should not expect to receive a dividend in the future. We have never paid any cash dividends on our common stock and do not currently anticipate that we will pay dividends in the foreseeable future. Instead, we intend to apply earnings to the expansion and development of our business.

Overview

We are a developer of financial software and a distributor of market data and research information to online brokerages, clearing firms, banks, media properties, public companies and financial service corporations worldwide. Through the aggregation of information from many direct data, news, and research sources, we offer a comprehensive range of solutions for all market related information provisioning requirements.

We have three general product lines: Data Feed Services, Interactive Content and Data Applications, and Portfolio Management Systems.

Our Data Feed Services consist of raw streaming real-time market data delivered over the Internet or via dedicated telecommunication lines, and supplemental fundamental, historical, and analytical data, keyed to the same symbology, which provides a complete market data solution to be offered to our customers. Currently, QuoteMedia’s Data Feed services include complete coverage of North American exchanges and over 70 exchanges worldwide.

Our Interactive Content and Data Applications consist of a suite of software applications that provide publicly traded company and market information to corporate clients via the Internet. Products include stock market quotes, fundamentals, historical and interactive charts, company news, filings, option chains, insider transactions, corporate financials, corporate profiles, screeners, market research information, investor relations provisions, level II, watch lists, and real-time quotes. All of our content solutions are completely customizable and embed directly into client Web pages for seamless integration with existing content.

Our Portfolio Management Systems consist of Quotestream, Quotestream Professional, Quotestream Wireless, and our Web Portfolio Management systems. Quotestream Desktop is an Internet-based streaming online portfolio management system that delivers real-time and delayed market data to both consumer and corporate markets. Quotestream has been designed for syndication and private branding by brokerage, banking, and Web portal companies. Quotestream’s enhanced features and functionality – most notably tick-by-tick true streaming data, significantly enhanced charting features, and a broad range of additional research and analytical content and functionality – offer a professional-level experience to non-professional users.

Quotestream Professional is designed specifically for use by financial services professionals and their support personnel, offering exceptional coverage and functionality at extremely aggressive pricing. Quotestream Professional features broad market coverage, reliability, complete flexibility, ultra low-latency tick-by-tick data, as well as completely customizable screens, advanced charting, comprehensive technical analysis, news and research data.

Quotestream Wireless is a true companion product to the Quotestream desktop products (Quotestream and Quotestream Professional) – any changes made to portfolios in either the desktop or wireless application are automatically reflected in the other.

A key feature of QuoteMedia’s business model is that all of our product lines generate recurring monthly licensing revenue from each client. Contracts to license Quotestream to our corporate clients, for example, typically have a term of one to three years and are automatically renewed unless notice is given at least 90 days prior to the expiration of the current license term. We also generate Quotestream revenue through individual end-user licenses on a monthly or annual subscription fee basis. Interactive Content and Data Applications and Market Data Feeds are licensed for a monthly, quarterly, annual, or biannual subscription fee. Contracts to license our Financial Data Products and Data Feeds typically have a term of one to three years and are automatically renewed unless notice is given 90 days prior to the expiration of the contract term.

Business environment and trends

The global financial markets have experienced extreme volatility and disruption in recent years. As a result, financial institutions globally have acted to control or reduce operational spending. Nevertheless, during this same period, we have maintained positive overall revenue growth, although certain business areas have experienced declining revenue.

We expect that uncertainty with respect to spending on financial information and related services will persist into 2011. While in some areas the anticipated impact of current trends may lead to a decision to reduce demand for market data and related services, we expect overall spending on financial information services to grow modestly over the next several years.

Plan of operation

Our plan of operation for 2011 will focus on marketing Quotestream for deployments by brokerage firms to their retail clients, and pursuing further expansion into the investment professional market with Quotestream Professional. Licensing Quotestream Wireless, both as a companion to the Quotestream desktop products, and as a stand-alone solution, will also continue to be a focal point. We will also look to continue the growth of our Data Feed Services client base, and to increase the sales of its Interactive Content and Data Applications, particularly in the context of large scale enterprise deployments encompassing solutions ranging across several product lines.

Opportunistically, efforts will be made to evaluate and pursue the development of additional new products that may eventually be commercialized by our company. Although not currently anticipated, we may require additional capital to execute our proposed plan of operation. There can be no assurance that such additional capital will be available to our company, on commercially reasonable terms or at all.

Our future performance will be subject to a number of business factors, including those beyond our control, such as a continuation of the economic downturn and evolving industry needs and preferences as well as the level of competition and our ability to continue to successfully market our products and technology. There can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully implement our marketing strategy, continue our revenue growth, or achieve profitable operations.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Management’s Discussion and Analysis discusses our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

We believe the following critical accounting policy affects our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements.

Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognized over contractual periods as services are performed and when collection of the amount due is reasonably assured. Amounts recognized as revenue are determined based upon contractually agreed upon fee schedules with our customers. We account for subscription revenues received in advance of services being performed by deferring such amounts until the related services are performed. We consider the following factors when determining if collection of a fee is reasonably assured: customer credit-worthiness, past transaction history with the customer, current economic industry trends, and changes in customer payment terms. If these factors do not indicate collection is reasonably assured, revenue is deferred until collection becomes reasonably assured, which is generally upon receipt of cash.

14

Table of Contents

We exercise judgment in assessing the credit worthiness of our customers and therefore in our determination of whether collectability is reasonably assured. Should changes in conditions cause us to determine these criteria are not met for future transactions, revenue recognized for future reporting periods could be adversely affected.

Commencing in October 2005, the Company licensed one of its portfolio management applications in exchange for advertising services of a customer, referred to as “barter revenue”, whereby advertising credits were received in exchange for subscription services. This revenue is recognized in the period in which the applications are licensed based on the fair market value of the services delivered. The Company determines the fair market value of the service delivered based upon amounts charged for similar services in non-barter arrangements within the previous six-month period. The Company also ensures that the value of barter delivered does not exceed the value of cash based revenue in any period. Unused advertising credits are reflected as prepaid expenses. As at December 31, 2010, $180,000 in unused advertising credits was included in prepaid expenses.

The following table summarizes our barter revenue transactions for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009:

Capitalized Application Software

Capitalized software costs include costs incurred in connection with the development of software and purchased software. These costs relate to software used by subscribers to access, manage and analyze information in the Company’s databases. Capitalized costs associated with internally developed software are amortized over three years which is their estimated economic life.

We exercise significant judgment in determining that capitalized application software costs meet the criteria established in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 350-985, Software. Software production costs for computer software that is to be used as an integral part of a product or process shall not be capitalized until both (a) technological feasibility has been established for the software and (b) all research and development activities for the other components of the product or process have been completed.

For the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company capitalized $692,114 and $547,505 of costs, respectively, related to the development of new software applications and enhancements made to existing software applications. Software applications are used by our subscribers to access, manage and analyze information in our databases. For the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, amortization expenses associated with the internally developed application software was $566,841 and $476,965 respectively. At December 31, 2010, the remaining book value of the application software was $971,517.

Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance

In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2010-06, Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements. The Update provides amendments to ASC topic 820-10 that require entities to disclose separately the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and describe the reasons for the transfers. In addition the Update requires entities to present separately information about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the reconciliation for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). The disclosures related to Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements were adopted January 1, 2010 and did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements. Disclosures related to Level 3 fair value measurements are effective January 1, 2011, and are not expected to have any impact on our consolidated financial statements.

New Accounting Guidance

In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-13, Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force, which amends ASC topic 605, Revenue Recognition, to require companies to allocate revenue in multiple-element arrangements based on an element’s estimated selling price if vendor-specific or other third-party evidence of value is not available. ASU 2009-13 is effective beginning January 1, 2011. Earlier application is permitted. We do not anticipate the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-14, Certain Revenue Arrangements That Include Software Elements, which amends ASC Topic 985, Software. ASU No. 2009-14 amends the ASC to change the accounting model for revenue arrangements that include both tangible products and software elements, such that tangible products containing both software and non-software components that function together to deliver the tangible product’s essential functionality are no longer within the scope of software revenue guidance. ASU 2009-14 is effective January 1, 2011. We are currently evaluating the potential impact, if any, of the adoption of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

Results of Operations

Revenue

Licensing revenue has increased 3% when comparing the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009. The increases are a result of sales growth from licensing our Portfolio Management Systems.

The number of Quotestream subscribers increased during the year, resulting in a $720,607 (23%) increase in Portfolio Management System revenue when comparing the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009. Our low cost base of development and operation has allowed us to maintain very competitive pricing which has attracted new customers looking for more cost efficient portfolio management systems. Included in Portfolio Management System revenue is revenue earned from licensing of one of our portfolio management applications in exchange for advertising services, referred to as “barter revenue” whereby advertising credits were received for subscription services. This barter revenue amounted to $360,000 for the year ended December 31, 2010, compared to $360,000 earned in 2009.

Interactive Content and Data Application revenue has been impacted by the loss of clients who as a result of the current economic downturn have either reduced their spending or have ceased operations altogether. As a result, Interactive Content and Data Application revenue decreased $458,195 (10%) when comparing the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.

Cost of Revenue and Gross Profit Summary

16

Table of Contents

Our cost of revenue consists of fixed and variable stock exchange fees and data feed provisioning costs. Cost of revenue also includes amortization of capitalized application software costs. We capitalize the costs associated with developing new products once technological feasibility has been established.

Cost of revenue increased 14% when comparing the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009. The increases are primarily due to increases in variable stock exchange, data feed, and bandwidth usage charges resulting from the growth in the number of Quotestream clients from the comparable period. The increase is also due to the acquisition of data content required to support the new products and features that we have recently developed and the amortization expense related to additional capitalized application software costs.

Overall, the cost of revenue increased as a percentage of sales, as evidenced by our gross margin percentage which decreased to 51% in 2010 from 56% in 2009. The gross margin attributed to Portfolio Management System revenue is lower than Interactive Content and Data Application revenue due to the stock exchange fees associated with Portfolio Management System revenue. The decrease in gross margin from the comparatives period is therefore due to a change in our revenue mix, as Portfolio Management System revenue has increased from the prior period while Interactive Content and Data Application revenue has decreased.

Operating Expenses Summary

Sales and Marketing

Sales and marketing consists primarily of sales and customer service salaries, investor relations, travel, and advertising expenses. Sales and marketing expenses increased $319,505 (17%) for the year ended December 31, 2010 when compared to fiscal 2009.

The increase from the comparative period is primarily due to $270,000 in stock-based compensation expense recognized in May 2010 as a result of extending the terms of stock options and warrants held by an executive of the Company. The increase is also due to an increase in salary expense for sales personnel. The increase in salary expense is due primarily to the 11% appreciation of the Canadian dollar compared to the U.S. dollar when comparing the average exchange rate for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2010, as salary expenses for sales personnel are incurred primarily in Canadian dollars.

Included in sales and marketing expense is $360,000 in non-cash advertising costs incurred in the year ended December 31, 2010. We receive advertising credits with a large national magazine in exchange for subscription services. The advertising credits are expensed as used, and unused advertising credits are reflected as prepaid expenses. We used $360,000 in advertising credits during the comparative period in 2009.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries expense, office rent, insurance premiums, and professional fees. General and administrative expenses increased $137,067 (7%) for year ended December 31, 2010 when compared to fiscal 2009. The increase is due to accruals made in 2010 for potential tax penalties, as well as increases in bad debt and office lease expenses from the comparative period.

17

Table of Contents

Software Development

Software development expenses consist primarily of costs associated with the design, programming, and testing of our software applications prior to the establishment of technological feasibility. Software development expenses also include costs incurred to maintain our software applications.

Software development expenses increased $132,095 (12%) for the year ended December 31, 2010 when compared to fiscal 2009. The increase is due to an increase in salary expense for software development personnel, offset by an increase in the amount of capitalized development costs.

We capitalized $692,114 of development costs for the year ended December 31, 2010, compared to $547,505 in 2009. These costs relate to the development of application software used by subscribers to access, manage, and analyze information in our databases. Capitalized costs associated with application software are amortized over their estimated economic life of three years.

Salary expense for software development personnel increased from the comparative periods due to competitive salary adjustments made for existing employees and additional new software development personnel. Additional software development personnel were required to develop our next generation Quotestream and Quotestream Professional products, as well as our new and upgraded versions of our Web-based applications and market data feeds. The increases in salary expense for development personnel was also due in part to the 11% appreciation from the comparative period of the Canadian dollar compared to the U.S. dollar, as salary expenses for development personnel are incurred primarily in Canadian dollars.

Other Income and (Expense) Summary

Foreign Exchange Loss

We recognized a foreign exchange loss of $12,620 in 2010, compared to a foreign exchange gain of $154,108 in 2009. Exchange gains and losses arise from the re-measurement of Canadian dollar monetary assets and liabilities into U.S. dollars. Gains and losses related to foreign exchange forward contracts are also included in foreign exchanges gains and losses. The foreign exchange loss of $12,620 in 2010 resulted from a $45,277 loss arising from the re-measurement of Canadian dollar monetary assets and liabilities into U.S. dollars, offset by a net gain of $32,657 related to foreign exchange forward contracts exercised during 2010. The re-measurement loss was due to a decrease in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to the Canadian dollar when comparing the exchange rate at December 31, 2009 to December 31, 2010, as we have net Canadian dollar liability at December 31, 2010.

Interest Expense

Interest expense in 2010 was $404,521, compared to $308,536 in 2009. Interest expense increased for the year ended December 31, 2010 due to additional borrowings compared to the same period in 2009. Interest is accrued at 10% per annum on certain amounts owed to related parties. Interest income earned on cash balances is netted against interest income.

Provision for Income Taxes

In 2010, the Company recorded Canadian income tax expense of $3,396, compared to a Canadian income expense of $3,066 in 2009.

Table of Contents

Net Income (Loss) for the Period

As a result of the foregoing, net loss for the year ended December 31, 2010 was $(1,945,952) or $(0.02) per share compared to a net loss of $(884,187) or $(0.01) per share for the year ended December 31, 2009.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our cash totaled $510,018 at December 31, 2010, as compared with $477,222 at December 31, 2009, an increase of $32,796. Net cash of $559,909 was provided by operations for the year ended December 31, 2010, primarily due to non cash depreciation and stock-based compensation expenses and the increase in accounts payable and amounts due to related parties. This was offset by the net loss for the period. Net cash used in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2010 was $753,113 resulting from capitalized application software costs and the purchase of new computer equipment and intangible assets, offset by a decrease in forward contract margin deposits. Net cash provide by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2010 was $226,000 resulting from additional loans from Company management.

Our current liabilities include $441,446 in deferred revenue. The expected costs necessary to realize the deferred revenue in 2011 are minimal.

As at December 31, 2010, long-term liabilities consist of $4,825,767 due to related parties as we do not expect to repay amounts owed to related parties during 2011. All repayments of amounts due to related parties must be approved by our Board of Directors. Repayments are subject to our company having sufficient cash on hand and are intended not to impair continuing business operations.

Based on the factors discussed above, we believe that our cash on hand and cash generated from operations will be sufficient to fund our current operations for at least the next 12 months. However, to implement our business plan may require additional financing. Additional financings may come from future equity or debt offerings that could result in dilution to our stockholders. Further, current adverse capital and credit market conditions could limit our access to capital. We may be unable to raise capital or bear an unattractive cost of capital which could reduce our financial flexibility.

Our long-term liquidity requirements will depend on many factors, including the rate at which we expand our business, and whether we do so internally or through acquisitions. To the extent that the funds generated from operations are insufficient to fund our activities in the long term, we may be required to raise additional funds through public or private financing. No assurance can be given that additional financing will be available or that, if it is available, it will be on terms acceptable to us.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Other than office lease commitments discussed in Note 10 to our financial statements, we do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We have evaluated, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2010. Based on this evaluation, our CEO and CFO have each concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that we record, process, summarize, and report information required to be disclosed by us in our periodic reports filed under the Exchange Act within the time periods specified by the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

The management of QuoteMedia, Inc. is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision or our CEO and CFO, and affected by our Board of Directors, management, and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal controls over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention of overriding controls. Accordingly, even effective internal control over financial reporting can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Our management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010. In making this assessment, it used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Based on our assessment, we believe that, as of December 31, 2010, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective based on those criteria.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to Sarbanes-Oxley Rule 404 (c).

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

During the last quarter of the fiscal year covered by this report, there have not been any changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Equity Compensation Plan Information

The following table sets forth information with respect to our common stock that may be issued upon the exercise of outstanding options, warrants, and rights to purchase shares of our common stock as of December 31, 2010.

1999 Stock Option Plan

During March 1999, we adopted, and our stockholders approved, the 1999 Stock Option Plan to advance the interests of our company by encouraging and enabling key employees to acquire a financial interest in our company and link their interests and efforts to the long-term interests of our stockholders. A total of 400,000 shares of common stock were initially reserved for issuance under the 1999 plan. In September 1999, this number was increased to 2,500,000. As of December 31, 2010, 1,144,817 shares of our common stock had been issued upon exercise of options granted under the 1999 plan, and there were outstanding options to acquire 1,355,183 shares of our common stock under the 1999 plan.

The 1999 plan is administered by our board of directors or a committee appointed by our board. Our board or the committee has the authority to grant options, determine the purchase price of shares of our common stock covered by each option, determine the persons who are eligible under the 1999 plan, interpret the 1999 plan, determine the terms and provisions of an option agreement, and make all other determinations deemed necessary for the administration of the 1999 plan. Options may be granted to any director, officer, key employee, or any advisory board member of our company. Incentive stock options may not be granted to a director, consultant, or advisory board member that is not an employee of our company.

The price of any incentive stock options may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant. The price of any incentive stock options granted to a person who owns more than 10% of our common stock may not be less than 110% of the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant. The option price for non-incentive stock options may not be less than 50% of the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant. Options may be granted for terms of up to but not exceeding ten years from the date of grant, however, in the case of an incentive stock option granted to an individual who beneficially owns 10% more of the stock of our company, the exercise period shall not exceed five years from the date of grant. Our board of directors may accelerate the exerciseability of any outstanding options at any time for any reason.

Table of Contents

In the event of any change in the number of shares of our common stock, the number of shares of common stock covered by outstanding options and the price per share of such options will be adjusted accordingly to reflect any such changes. Similar changes will also be made if our company engages in any merger, consolidation, or reclassification in which is it the surviving entity. In the event that we are not the surviving entity, each option shall terminate provided that each holder will have the right to exercise during a ten period ending on the fifth day prior to such corporate transaction. In the event of a change of control, our board or the committee may terminate each option, provided that each holder receive the amount of cash equal to the difference between the exercise price of the each option and the fair market value of each share of stock subject to such option.

Our board may suspend, terminate, modify, or amend the 1999 plan provided that, in certain instances, the holders of a majority of our common stock issued and outstanding approve the amendment.

2003 Equity Incentive Compensation Plan

Our Board of Directors has approved our 2003 Equity Incentive Compensation Plan, or the 2003 plan, approved by our stockholders at the annual meeting held on February 14, 2003. The purpose of the 2003 plan is to assist our company in attracting, motivating, retaining, and rewarding high-quality executives and other employees, directors, officers, and independent contractors by enabling such persons to acquire or increase a proprietary interest in our company in order to strengthen the mutuality of interests between such persons and our stockholders, and providing such persons with annual and long-term performance incentives to expend their maximum efforts in the creation of stockholder value.

Presently, the number of shares of common stock that may be issued under the 2003 plan is equal to 10,000,000. As of December 31, 2010, 1,277,530 shares of common stock had been issued upon exercise of options granted under the 2003 plan and there were 4,567,470 options outstanding under the 2003 plan.

Eligibility and Administration

The persons eligible to receive awards under the 2003 plan are the officers, directors, employees, and independent contractors of our company. The 2003 plan is to be administered by a committee designated by our Board of Directors consisting of not less than two directors, each member of which must be a “non-employee director” as defined under Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act and an “outside director” for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Code. However, except as otherwise required to comply with Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act, or Section 162(m) of the Code, our Board of Directors may exercise any power or authority granted to the committee. Subject to the terms of the 2003 plan, the committee or our Board of Directors is authorized to select eligible persons to receive awards, determine the type and number of awards to be granted and the number of shares of common stock to which awards will relate, specify times at which awards will be exercisable or settleable (including performance conditions that may be required as a condition thereof), set other terms and conditions of awards, prescribe forms of award agreements, interpret and specify rules and regulations relating to the 2003 plan, and make all other determinations that may be necessary or advisable for the administration of the 2003 plan.

Stock Options and SARs

The committee or our Board of Directors is authorized to grant stock options, including both incentive stock options, or ISOs, which can result in potentially favorable tax treatment to the participant, and nonqualified stock options, and SARs entitling the participant to receive the amount by which the fair market value of a share of common stock on the date of exercise (or defined “change in control price” following a change in control) exceeds the grant price of the SAR. The exercise price per share subject to an option and the grant price of an SAR are determined by the committee, but in the case of an ISO must not be less than the fair market value of a share of common stock on the date of grant. For purposes of the 2003 plan, the term “fair market value” means the fair market value of common stock, awards, or other property as determined by the committee or our Board of Directors or under procedures established by the committee or our Board of Directors. Unless otherwise determined by the committee or our Board of Directors, the fair market value of common stock as of any given date shall be the closing sales price per share of common stock as reported on the principal stock exchange or market on which common stock is traded on the date as of which such value is being determined or, if there is no sale on that date, then on the last previous day on which a sale was reported. The maximum term of each option or SAR, the times at which each option or SAR will be exercisable, and provisions requiring forfeiture of unexercised options or SARs at

or following termination of employment generally are fixed by the committee or our Board of Directors, except that no option or SAR may have a term exceeding ten years. Options may be exercised by payment of the exercise price in cash, shares that have been held for at least six months, outstanding awards, or other property having a fair market value equal to the exercise price, as the committee or our Board of Directors may determine from time to time. Methods of exercise and settlement and other terms of the SARs are determined by the committee or our Board of Directors. SARs granted under the 2003 plan may include “limited SARs” exercisable for a stated period of time following a change in control of our company, as discussed below.

Restricted and Deferred Stock

The committee or our Board of Directors is authorized to grant restricted stock and deferred stock. Restricted stock is a grant of shares of common stock that may not be sold or disposed of, and that may be forfeited in the event of certain terminations of employment, prior to the end of a restricted period specified by the committee or our Board of Directors. A participant granted restricted stock generally has all of the rights of a stockholder of our company, unless otherwise determined by the committee or the Board. An award of deferred stock confers upon a participant the right to receive shares of common stock at the end of a specified deferral period, subject to possible forfeiture of the award in the event of certain terminations of employment prior to the end of a specified restricted period. Prior to settlement, an award of deferred stock carries no voting or dividend rights or other rights associated with share ownership, although dividend equivalents may be granted, as discussed below.

Bonus Stock and Awards in Lieu of Cash Obligations

The committee or our Board of Directors is authorized to grant shares of common stock as a bonus free of restrictions, or to grant shares of common stock or other awards in lieu of company obligations to pay cash under the 2003 plan or other plans or compensatory arrangements, subject to such terms as the committee or our Board of Directors may specify.

Acceleration of Vesting; Change in Control

The committee or our Board of Directors may in the case of a “change of control” of our company, as defined in the 2003 plan, in its discretion, accelerate the exercisability, the lapsing of restrictions, or the expiration of deferral or vesting periods of any award (including the cash settlement of SARs and “limited SARs” which may be exercisable in the event of a change in control). In addition, the committee or our Board of Directors may provide in an award agreement that the performance goals relating to any performance based award will be deemed to have been met upon the occurrence of any “change in control.” Upon the occurrence of a change in control, if so provided in the award agreement, stock options and limited SARs (and other SARs which so provide) may be cashed out based on a defined “change in control price,” which will be the higher of

For purposes of the 2003 plan, the term “change in control” generally means

Amendment and Termination

Our Board of Directors may amend, alter, suspend, discontinue, or terminate the 2003 plan or the committee’s authority to grant awards without further stockholder approval, except stockholder approval must be obtained for any amendment or alteration if such approval is required by law or regulation or under the rules of any stock exchange or quotation system on which shares of common stock are then listed or quoted. Thus, stockholder approval may not necessarily be required for every amendment to the 2003 plan which might increase the cost of the 2003 plan or alter the eligibility of persons to receive awards. Stockholder approval will not be deemed to be required under laws or regulations, such as those relating to ISOs, that condition favorable treatment of participants on such approval, although our Board of Directors may, in its discretion, seek stockholder approval in any circumstance in which it deems such approval advisable. Unless earlier terminated by our Board of Directors, the 2003 plan will terminate at such time as no shares of common stock remain available for issuance under the 2003 plan and we have no further rights or obligations with respect to outstanding awards under the 2003 plan.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders

Quotemedia, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Quotemedia, Inc. and subsidiary as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for the years then ended. 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 audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Quotemedia, Inc. and subsidiary as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years ending December 31, 2010 and 2009 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

a) Nature of operations

We are a software developer and distributor of financial market data and related services to a global marketplace. We specialize in the collection, aggregation, and delivery of both delayed and real-time financial data content via the Internet. We develop and license software components that deliver dynamic content to banks, brokerage firms, financial institutions, mutual fund companies, online information and financial portals, media outlets, public companies, and corporate Intranets.

b) Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the operations of Quotemedia, Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of Quotemedia, Inc. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

c) Foreign currency translation and transactions

The U.S. dollar is the functional currency of all our company’s operations. Foreign currency asset and liability amounts are remeasured into U.S. dollars at end-of-period exchange rates, except for equipment and intangible assets, which are remeasured at historical rates. Foreign currency income and expenses are remeasured at average exchange rates in effect during the year, except for expenses related to balance sheet amounts remeasured at historical exchange rates. Because the U.S. dollar is the functional currency, exchange gains and losses arising from remeasurement of foreign currency-denominated monetary assets and liabilities are included in income in the period in which they occur.

d) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash equivalents include money market investments that have an original maturity of three months or less and are redeemable on demand. We maintain our accounts primarily at one financial institution. At times throughout the year, our cash and cash equivalents balances may exceed amounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

e) Allowances for doubtful accounts

We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of the Company’s customers to make required payments. The Company determines the allowance by reviewing the age of the receivables and assessing the anticipated ability of customers to pay. No collateral is required for any of the receivables. If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, adversely affecting their ability to make payments, additional allowances would be required. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $73,430 as at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

f) Property and equipment

Fixed assets are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Furniture and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives of five years. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the terms of the respective leases or useful lives, whichever is shorter. Retirements, sales and disposals of assets are recorded by removing the cost and accumulated depreciation from the asset and accumulated depreciation accounts with the resulting gain or loss reflected in income.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Capitalized software costs include costs incurred in connection with the development of software and purchased software. These costs relate to software used by subscribers to access, manage and analyze information in the Company’s databases. Capitalized costs associated with internally developed software are amortized over three years which is their estimated economic life.

g) Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share takes into account shares outstanding (computed under basic earnings per share) and potentially dilutive common shares (such as stock options outstanding). The effect of a stock split or reverse split is applied retroactively to preceding periods. For the years ended 2010 and 2009 all common stock equivalents were anti-dilutive.

h) Stock-based compensation

FASB ASC 718, Stock Compensation requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized as compensation expense over the service period (generally the vesting period) in the consolidated financial statements based on their fair values. The impact of forfeitures that may occur prior to vesting is also estimated and considered in the amount recognized.

Total estimated stock-based compensation expense, related to all of the Company’s stock-based awards, recognized for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 was comprised as follows:

At December 31, 2010 there was $7,525 of unrecognized compensation cost related to non vested share-based payments which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 0.85 years.

We calculate the fair value of stock options granted under the provisions of FASB ASC 718 using the Black-Scholes valuation model with the following assumptions:
