Summary of important events 2009

Mr Shimon Amouyal, CEO for Wizcom, stated, "Financial year 2009 saw a number of
big challenges for the Company.  The appointment of a completely new management
team, with myself as the new CEO, required a transition period before big
decisions needed could be taken and implemented.  My number one responsibility
was to stop the bleeding of Wizcom and put the Company on the road to recovery.

The first step was a reassessment of the strategy that had been implemented by
previous management. We found that the state of the Company required a thorough
shakeup of strategy and policies, operational processes, business relationships,
sales channels and sales model.  This process took time and had an impact on our
results. Furthermore, we felt we had to make comprehensive changes in management
that were finalized with the appointment of Mr Yaron Herz as the new CFO in
February 2010. Mr. Herz was Controller at Eltek, an international publicly
traded company. He has a CPA license and his experience includes working at
Deloitte & Touche and Ernst & Young up to the position of Senior Control
Coordinator.

One of the major challenges we faced this year was a supply problem that could
have caused serious liquidity issues. We managed to raise US$1.2 million through
issuing convertible loan notes, which prevented these problems from occurring.
At the same time, however, we realized we had to change supply arrangements in
order to hedge against the risks of dependence on a single supplier. The supply
problems we witnessed had a strong limiting effect on our ability to generate
revenues, as can be seen from the fall in Q2 revenues when compared to Q1, as
well as Q4 revenues when compared to Q3.  Part of our supply problems continued
into the new year, but we believe these have now been solved through the
appointment of the CAM Group as a new, non-exclusive supplier, as per Wizcom's
strategy to reduce dependency on a single supplier

As we recently announced, we are now in the process of ascertaining if we have
cause to pursue legal action against our former supplier, Teliran, in relation
to over-payments over the past five years.  As the total amount potentially is
significant, we have decided to appoint external auditors to assist us in the
process.

On the strategic and operational side, we had a busy year with a number of
positive developments. By focusing our resources on the three most important
regions for us, Europe, the US and Asia, we are better able to support and drive
sales in these areas.

R&D concentrated on enhancing the genericity of the product family by reducing
the variety of different platforms from 30 down to 4, which will result in a cut
of COGS in the very near future. In the US subsidiary, Wizcom Inc, the entire
sales model has been changed, which should lead to a breakthrough for this
division. . An increased focus on our web presence, as well as a distributor
model that welcomes rather than excludes competition, have resulted in an
increase in order inflow.

As explained, we have had problems converting orders into revenues due to supply
issues, but going forward the positive results of our new strategy have put us
on the way to recovery and profitability.  It is too early to make definitive
statements on our expectations for the full year, but we do believe that we are
on the right way and the signs are there, even though we have had to overcome
serious challenges.

Our balance sheet has been cleaned up, our cost base has been rationalized, we
have cash in the bank and our order intake is improving all the time.  If the
improvement in the general economy continues, we anticipate our performance to
strengthen, both at the top and bottom line."
