Third Quarter 2011 Financial Details:
 
Third quarter 2011 revenue was $117,399, compared to $156,936 in the prior year’s third quarter. The decline was due to both the discontinuance of foreign licensing activities in October 2010 and a decline in network revenue. Selling, general and administrative expense was $767,613 in the third quarter of 2011, compared to $934,167 in the prior year’s third quarter, a decline of 17.8%.  Net loss for the third quarter of 2011 was ($906,052) compared to a net loss of ($852,402) in the 2010 third quarter.  Basic and diluted loss per share was ($0.02) in the third quarter of 2011 compared to ($0.03) in the 2010 third quarter.
 
Third Quarter 2011 Business Details:
 
In August 2011, rVue launched rVue Direct, introducing multiple revenue share and content options to its DOOH partners across the U.S. rVue developed an online Content Hub portal in which rVue’s DOOH network partners can login and select interactive content with toll free 800 numbers and embedded, machine readable Quick Response (QR) codes to entice consumers to purchase the advertised product or service in real time.
 
 
 

 

In September 2011, rVue integrated the rVue demand side platform (DSP) with DDS to provide DOOH campaign targeting, planning, buying, managing, analyzing and billing to agencies through access to rVue’s media planning and real-time buying tools. rVue’s DSP plugs directly into the DDS platform for digital campaign management.

In September 2011, rVue entered into a strategic partnership with Billups Worldwide to integrate the rVue DSP into the Billups Out-of-Home Management Application (BOOHMA) technology solution. The rVue DSP will serve as the effective front-end of the BOOHMA software platform for major advertising agencies to connect to the rVue DOOH trading desk and its underlying digital signage advertising inventory.

Corporate Activities:

In the third quarter of 2011, rVue retained the services of Noble Financial Capital Markets to help rVue increase market awareness in the investor community. Noble is now a market maker in rVue’s stock, and it is providing strategic consulting to help unlock shareholder value. Noble will also help rVue form joint ventures or other transactions to accelerate the rVue business plan.
