"Our revenue is reflecting the increased breadth and strength of our client base that has resulted from our business development efforts," said Christopher Culross, PAID Inc. CFO. "Greater percentages of our revenue are now coming from multiple clients in each area, lessening our reliance on any one client. Providing a broad range of services to a larger number of clients is helping us create a solid base of revenue throughout the year. In the third quarter we started to really see the efficiencies of scale we had previously projected from our growing client base. We expect that efficiencies of scale will further improve as our client base expands and help us continue to move toward profitability. As we grow, we have succeeded in our efforts to maintain the highest quality of service in every area."

PAID CEO Greg Rotman noted, "PAID is continuing its attempts to monetize its intellectual property through licensing and/or sale of its patent assets. At this time, revenue generated from patent licensing is reported under merchandise fulfillment. I believe our patent has value and we have been pursuing approval on a related child patent application through the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office. We are focusing substantial effort on realizing the value of our patent assets for the benefit of PAID Inc. and its shareholders."

Gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was $2,310,000 compared to $2,143,000 for the comparable period in 2009. The overall gross margin percentage decreased to 36% for the first three quarters of 2010, compared to 53% for the first three quarters of 2009. This 17% decrease is primarily the result of the Company generating non-recurring convenience fee revenue associated with a tour cancellation in the third quarter of 2009 without all the typical expenses relating to touring. In contrast, in the third quarter of 2010, as part of a fundraising event, PAID sold a very large volume of merchandise that had narrower margins than typical for a client.

Culross noted, "The extremely high volume coupled with the narrower margins of the merchandise for this event was sufficient to squeeze gross margins for 2010, particularly when compared against the margins recorded in 2009. We are expecting improvements in gross margin for the remainder of 2010 and thereafter. Improving margins and turning the corner to profitability is definitely our focus."

He concluded, "PAID will continue to invest in business development, as that is where our future lies. At the same time, we are working to contain our costs and negotiate business contracts that are fair -- providing value to the client, while enabling PAID to grow profitably, as every sound business should."
