WESTBOROUGH, MA--(Marketwire - Nov 21, 2012) - PAID Inc.

"PAID is having its best revenue year ever and we expect progress to continue," said Austin Lewis, PAID Inc.

Proforma Results:

"The true operating results have been overshadowed by certain accounting treatments, specifically option compensation and stock price guarantees which are non-cash and non-operating charges," said Christopher Culross, PAID Inc. CFO. We have been very focused on cutting excess overhead and streamlining the operational processes so that we can achieve profitability. The results of our initial efforts which included salary and headcount reductions, reductions in legacy IT costs, and reductions in general administrative costs, produced a profit from operations in the third quarter of 2012 of $318,600 on a proforma basis.
