Third Quarter 2010 Results

Vuance Ltd. (the “Company”), a leading provider of Wireless Verification Solutions, including active radio frequency identification equipment (“Active RFID”), completed its unaudited condensed financial statements for the third quarter period ending September 30, 2010.

The Company has focused its sales and marketing efforts on its core competencies, which include Active RFID technology and its PureRFid Suite, and on servicing existing projects, such as contract with a European country to provide an end-to-end system for a national multi-ID issuing and control system.
 
Third Quarter 2010 Selected Unaudited Financial Results

Revenues from continuing operations for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 decreased 9% to $2.3 million compared to $2.5 million in the year-ago third quarter. The third quarter revenues from continuing operations increased compared sequentially to the $1.9 million reported for the second quarter of 2010. The year-over-year decrease was largely driven by a decrease in revenues from the European International Airport Project, which were fully recognized through December 31, 2009. The quarter-over-quarter increase was due to an increase in revenues from the national multi-ID issuing and control system project.

Gross profit from continuing operations decreased 7% to $1.7 million for the third quarter compared to $1.8 million for the prior-year third quarter. Gross profit margin for the quarter was 74% compared to 73% in the third quarter of 2009, and compared sequentially to 75% in the second quarter.

Total operating expenses from continuing operations for the third quarter of 2010 were $2.1 million, compared to $1.85 million for the second quarter of 2010 and compared to $1.9 million for the third quarter of 2009. The quarter-over-quarter increase was mainly due to an increase in sales and marketing expenses associated with the increase  in revenues.

The Company reported an operating loss from continuing operations for the third quarter of $410,000 compared sequentially to an operating loss from continuing operations of $407,000 for the second quarter of 2010 and compared to an operating loss from continuing operations of $113,000 in the year-ago third quarter. The year-over-year increase was largely driven by allowance for doubtful account in the amount of $222,000, related to the European Project.

The net loss from continuing operations for the third quarter was $621,000, or $0.10 per basic and diluted share (based on 6.0 million weighted average shares) compared to a net loss from continuing operations of  $287,000, or $0.05 per basic and diluted share (based on 5.6 million shares) in the year-ago third quarter. Sequentially, the $621,000 net loss from continuing operations for the third quarter of 2010 compares to a net loss from continuing operations of $552,000, or $0.10 per basic and diluted share, for the three months ended June 30, 2010 (based on 5.7 million weighted average shares).

As of September 2010, the Company has not been in compliance with certain convertible bond in the amount of $2,500,000.00, issued on November 16, 2006, as amended from time to time thereafter, therefore the convertible bond in the amount of $2,452,000, and a long term loan in the amount of $1,684,000 are due for immediate payment and have been reclassified to short term liability.

The Company's unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which presumes the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of operations.  The application of the going concern basis is dependent upon the Company having sufficient available cash resources and achieving profitable operations to generate sufficient cash flows to fund continued operations.  Should the Company fail to generate sufficient cash flows from operations, it will require additional financing to remain a going concern.  The reported unaudited condensed financial statements are in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP.
