ISSUER DIRECT CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
(UNAUDITED)
Note 1.  Accounting Policies
 
Basis of Presentation
 
    The unaudited interim balance sheet as of June 30, 2011 and statements of operations and cash flows for the periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 included herein, have been prepared in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and Article 10 of Regulation S-X under the Exchange Act. In the opinion of the management, they include all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements. Results of operations reported for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire year. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations relating to interim financial statements. The interim financial information should be read in conjunction with Issuer Direct Corporation’s (the Company’s) 2010 audited financial statements filed on Form 10-K.
 
Note 2.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
Earnings per Share (EPS)
 
    Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity. Diluted shares the for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2011 gives effect to the weighted average of 1,247,500 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock options agreements. Diluted income per share for the quarter and six months ending June 30, 2010, gives effect to the weighted average of 258,323 shares issuable upon conversion of the Company’s shares of preferred stock.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
    We recognize revenue in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, “Revenue Recognition,” which requires that: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, (iii) the sales price is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured. We recognize revenue when services are rendered or delivered, where collectability is probable.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
 
    We initially record our provision for doubtful accounts based on our historical experience and then adjust this provision at the end of each reporting period based on a detailed assessment of our accounts receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts.
 
Use of Estimates
 
    The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates include the allowance for doubtful accounts and the valuation of goodwill and intangible assets.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Income Taxes
 
    We comply with FASB ASC No. 740 – Income Taxes which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in future taxable or deductible amounts based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred income tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized.  For any uncertain tax positions, we recognize the impact of a tax position, only if it is more likely than not of being sustained upon examination, based on the technical merits of the position. Our policy regarding the classification of interest and penalties is to classify them as income tax expense in our financial statements, if applicable.
 
    At the end of each interim period, we estimate the effective tax rate we expect to be applicable for the full fiscal year and this rate is applied to our results for the interim year to date period.  Income tax expense was $12,624 during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2011.  During the six months ended June 30, 2011, we reversed the remaining balance of our valuation allowance against our deferred tax asset and recorded the remaining estimated income tax liability.
 
Fair Value Measurements
 
    As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, we do not have any financial assets or liabilities that are required to be, or that we elected to measure, at fair value.
 
    We adopted the fair value provisions applicable to nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities in fiscal 2009. Our assets and liabilities that are subject to these provisions include our intangible assets, consisting of goodwill, domain names and software, and our long-lived assets. The adoption of the fair value provisions applicable to nonfinancial assets and liabilities did not have a significant impact on the determination or reporting of our financial results.
 
    We believe that the fair value of our financial instruments, which consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their carrying amounts.

Stock-based compensation
 
    We account for stock-based compensation under the authoritative guidance for stock compensation. The authoritative guidance for stock compensation requires that companies estimate the fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of the grant using an option-pricing model. The cost is to be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award. The valuation provisions of the authoritative guidance for stock compensation apply to new grants and grants modified after the adoption date that were outstanding as of the effective date. The authoritative guidance for stock compensation also requires the benefit of tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation expense to be reported as a financing cash flow, rather than as an operating cash flow as prescribed under previous accounting rules. This requirement reduces net operating cash flows and increases net financing cash flows in periods subsequent to adoption.  During the six month period ended June 30, 2011, the Company issued 250,000 options to purchase commons stock with exercise prices ranging from $0.17 to $0.187.  The Company recognized stock based compensation expense of $24,244 and $43,590 during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2011, respectively.  The Company recognized stock based compensation expense of $17,900 and $45,000 during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2010, respectively.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
    The adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements did not have a material effect on our financial position or results from operations.  We do not expect recently issued accounting pronouncements that are not yet effective will have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations upon adoption.

Note 3.  Intangible Assets
 
    In June 2011, we acquired the rights to the customers of Edgar Tech Filing Services for $40,000. This asset has been recorded as a customer list and is being amortized over an estimated useful life of five years.

Note 4.  Preferred stock and common stock
 
    During the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company repurchased and retired 161,015 shares of common stock for $35,338.  The share repurchase was part of the buy back program previously announced during the fourth quarter of 2010.
 
Note 5.  Concentrations
 
    For the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, we earned revenues (as a percentage of total revenues) in the following categories:
 
     
Three months ended June 30,
     
Six months ended June 30,
 
Revenue Streams     2011        2010        2011        2010  
Compliance and reporting services
    44.5 %     7.0 %     43.2 %     11.1 %
Printing and financial communication
    21.1 %     53.5 %     17.4 %     46.4 %
Fulfillment and distribution
    20.7 %     34.2 %     22.1 %     31.5 %
Software licensing
    4.1 %     1.2 %     3.5 %     3.3 %
Transfer agent services
    9.6 %     4.1 %     13.8 %     7.7 %
    Total     100.0 %     100.0 %     100.0 %     100.0 %
 
    No customers accounted for more than 10% of operating revenues during the three month period and six month periods ended June 30, 2011.  One customer accounted for 78.7% and 62.7% of operating revenues during the three month period and six month period ended June 30, 2010, respectively.
 
    We did not have any customers that comprised more than 10% of our total accounts receivable balance at June 30, 2011 or December 31, 2010.
 
    We do not believe we had any financial instruments that could have potentially subjected us to significant concentrations of credit risk. A portion of our revenues are paid at the beginning of the month via credit card or in advance by check, the remaining accounts receivable amounts are generally due within 30 days, none of which is collateralized.
 
Note 6.  Commitments and Contingencies
 
    On June 24, 2011, Kinder Investment, LP (“Kinder”), the prior holder of five shares of the Company’s Series A preferred stock, filed a lawsuit against the Company, its current officers and directors, and it’s outside legal counsel in the United States Court, Eastern District of New York.  Kinder claims that the Company falsely forced the redemption of its shares of preferred stock without paying accumulated dividends and other amounts that Kinder believes were owed totaling $1,075,000.  The Company believes the claims are without merit and has retained legal counsel in New York and plans to dispute the claims vigorously.  The Company will incur expenses to resolve this matter, although the amount cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.

Overview
 
    Issuer Direct Corporation (Issuer Direct Corporation and its business are hereinafter collectively referred to as “Issuer Direct”, the “Company”, “We” or “Our” unless otherwise noted), was formed in February 2006 as My Edgar, Inc; a full-service provider of financial print and related compliance communications both online and in print. We acquired Edgarization, LLC and Basset Press in March and July 2007, respectively. In December 2007, we became publicly traded through a reverse merger transaction with Docucon Incorporated, a Delaware company. In December 2007, we changed our name to Issuer Direct Corporation.
 
    We leverage our securities compliance and regulatory expertise to provide a comprehensive set of services that enhance a client’s ability to communicate effectively with its shareholder base while meeting all reporting regulations required. We believe our comprehensive set of services enables us to be the financial services provider of choice for our clients. For example corporate issuers utilize our services from document creation all the way to dissemination to regulatory bodies and shareholders. With this cohesive example, all of our business segments are able to generate revenues through the delivery and communication process.
 
    As a regulatory compliance company, we are dedicated to assisting our corporate issuers in an ever-changing regulatory environment to comply with the myriad of rules imposed by regulatory bodies. The majority of our business involves the distribution of content either electronically or in traditional paper form to governing bodies and shareholders alike through our integrated back office systems and service platform. Under these regulations, we are licensed to disseminate, communicate and/or solicit on behalf of our clients.
 
    We continue to focus on both the organic growth of our revenue streams as well as evaluating potential acquisitions that would complement our core business operations and accelerate our overall mission of providing a complete solution for all corporate issuers.
 
Revenue Sources
 
    The Company’s core businesses operate within the financial compliance sector, including but not limited to financial reporting, print and production, proxy tabulation and solicitation as well as the safeguarding of shareholder records through traditional transfer agent services. These services are designed to offer issuers a comprehensive set of solutions for complying and communicating their messages to their audiences.  Our products and service offerings are summarized below:

Financial Reporting
 
    As a full service compliance and regulatory filing agent, we assist corporate issuers, mutual funds, law firms, resellers, and individuals with all of their securities filing needs. Most all companies are required to file corporate documents to and with the Securities and Exchange Commission including, but not limited to, registration statements, annual reports, quarterly reports, prospectuses, information statements, material event filings, proxy statements, and ownership documents.
 
    Additionally, since XBRL was introduced, Issuer Direct along with many other leading compliance organizations has been offering XBRL (eXtensible Business Reporting Language) consulting, and taxonomy mapping. As a reporting corporate issuer, we have been reporting our own quarterly and annual financial statement in XBRL since October 2009.
 
    XBRL was first envisioned in 1997 to assist with corporate financial reporting. Today, the global adoption of the XBRL standard is being driven by the increasing demand by investors and regulators for transparency and more sophisticated analytics of financial assets like equities, mutual funds, and fixed income instruments. In 2008, the SEC announced a mandatory program relating to XBRL whereby registrants are required to furnish XBRL data in an exhibit to specified EDGAR filings. More specifically, commencing in 2009 and as detailed in the following paragraph, certain public companies became required to file tagged disclosures, including the companies’ primary financial statements, footnotes, financial statement schedules and certain company identifier information, in an XBRL format and over the next three years, all public companies will become subject to these requirements.
 
    The SEC is requiring companies to comply with the mandate according to the following three-year phase-in schedule:
 
  
In year one, the rules applied only to domestic and foreign large accelerated filers that use U.S. GAAP and had a worldwide public float above $5 billion. These filers were required to file quarterly reports on Form 10-Q or annual reports on Form 20-F or Form 40-F containing financial statements beginning with the first fiscal period ended on or after June 15, 2009.
  
In year two, all other domestic and foreign large accelerated filers using U.S. GAAP became subject to XBRL data reporting. These filers were required to file quarterly reports on Form 10-Q or annual reports on Form 20-F or Form 40-F containing financial statements beginning with the first fiscal period ended on or after June 15, 2010.
  
In year three, all remaining filers using U.S. GAAP, including smaller reporting companies, and all foreign private issuers that prepare their financial statements in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB, will become subject to the same XBRL data reporting requirements. These filers are required to file quarterly reports on Form 10-Q or annual reports on Form 20-F or Form 40-F containing financial statements beginning with the first fiscal period ending on or after June 15, 2011.  Therefore, all filers are now required to file quarterly and annual reports in XBRL format.

Financial Printing, Fulfillment & Post Sale
 
    As one of the largest financial printers in the southeast, we are focused on both corporate issuers, and mutual funds - we pride ourselves on having our typeset, design, print and fulfillment operations under one roof; giving compliance professionals the ability to meet regulatory deadlines and take advantage of our technology and on demand facilities to communicate their message with markets, shareholders and other vital constituents.
 
    Today we produce a comprehensive array of documents for many of the nation's leading corporations, mutual funds, law firms, and investment banks. Our financial printing expertise gives us the edge in the market - giving customers the confidence and time to focus on their business execution. Our production staff has a deep understanding of the regulatory requirements that drive many of the printed materials that are distributed today - such as the new Summary Prospectus for funds and Notice and Access for corporate issuers.
 
    During the period ended June 30, 2011, we have continued to leverage our post sale fulfillment and iFUND platform to a broader base of clientele. This technology when combined with our Print-on-Demand (POD) production environment gives us a leg up on the competition in the literature fulfillment marketplace.  Our technological advancements make our process more efficient and transparent to multiple parties at the same time form one interface. As regulations continued to change and companies opt to print fewer and few large run projects, we expect print on demand to be a greater portion of our print business; this would include summary prospectuses for our mutual fund and broker clients, custom notice & access cards for corporate issuers, reminder mailings, and short run production on a one to one or one to many delivery method.
 
    Our logistics and fulfillment business serves as an extension to our financial printing and proxy business. The growth of this revenue source is highly dependent upon the amount of printed material we process in a given period as well as the number of clients we service under agreement.  For the period ended June 30, 2011, we doubled the number of project engagements. These projects represented higher margins than we previously experienced during the same period ended June 30, 2010. Our approach in achieving these results has been based upon the utilization of our workflow and fulfillment systems, providing a significant competitive advantage in the marketplace.
 
Proxy Systems
 
    Our Proxy system (iProxyDirect) is a comprehensive technology platform that encompasses issuers, shareholders, banks, brokers and vital constituents during the proxy process. iProxy is one of the only voting platforms where corporate issuers, mutual funds/administrators can setup, manage, communicate and monitor the entire proxy process from one online system. iProxy offers Notice & Access options, material on demand fulfillment, digital delivery, and secure document hosting and real-time voting.
 
Shareholder Communication
 
    As part of our commitment to shareholder disclosure and improved corporate transparency, we expanded our core news wire services into a comprehensive shareholder communication system that assist our client’s investor relations departments. Our offerings include a blend of proprietary data sets such as Edgar filings, press releases, stock charts and historical data, corporate vitals, as well as the compliance driven modules of whistle blower, corporate governance and our e-Notify request system. We have strategic partnerships with content providers whereby we re-distribute certain content to the desktops of users on an on-demand basis. Additionally, we power the financial tear sheet market by utilizing our shareholder compliance platform to parse data in a condensed format that the financial markets refer to as a tear sheet.

    Total
  $ 1,103,871     $ 2,359,650     $ 1,617,427     $ 2,964,731  
 
    Total revenue decreased by $1,255,779 and $1,347,304, or 53% and 45%, respectively, during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the same periods in fiscal 2010.  The overall decrease in revenue is primarily due to decreases in printing and financial communication revenue of $1,030,194 and $1,096,033, respectively, and decreases in fulfillment and distribution revenue of $577,923 and $576,698, respectively, during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the same periods in fiscal 2010.   These decreases were partially offset by increases in compliance and reporting services revenue of $325,645 and $369,458, respectively, during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the same periods in fiscal 2010.
 
    Compliance and reporting service revenue increased $325,645 and $369,458, or 196% and 112%, respectively, during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the same periods in fiscal 2010.  The increase in revenue from compliance and reporting services is primarily attributable to the final phase in of the SEC’s three year mandate for companies to begin filing quarterly and annual reports in XBRL format.  A large portion of our clients are small reporting companies, and those companies are required to begin filing quarterly and annual reports in XBRL format for all periods ended after June 15, 2011.  Therefore, during the first six months of 2011, we began delivering XBRL tagging services which accounted for the overall increase in compliance and reporting service revenue.  Even though we are seeing pricing pressures in this new revenue stream, we will continue to allocate a prudent amount of resources focused on new client acquisition.
 
    Printing and financial communication revenue decreased $1,030,194 and $1,096,033, respectively, in the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the same periods in fiscal 2010.  During the second quarter of 2010, we successfully executed a large print and fulfillment project in the mutual fund market which accounted for substantially all of the decrease in printing and financial communication revenue as there was no similar project in the second quarter of 2011. These types of projects are difficult to forecast and take a great deal of time to win, and therefore revenue from quarter to quarter can fluctuate significantly.  Furthermore, the profit margin on the project in 2010 was below our normal margin requirements. Therefore, we are now focusing on higher margin opportunities that come from longer engagements typically over a one or two-year period rather than single projects.
 
    Fulfillment and distribution revenue decreased $577,923 and $576,698, respectively, in the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the same periods in fiscal 2010.  The decrease was principally the result of the fulfillment and distribution portion of the large project previously mentioned in our print and financial communication revenue discussion.
 
    Software licensing revenues increased by  $17,710 during the three month period ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the same period in fiscal 2010 as we performed more proxy services through our iProxyDirect software in fiscal 2011.  Software licensing decreased by $38,485 during the six month period ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the same period in fiscal 2010.  During the first quarter of 2010, we licensed our section 16 technologies to a strategic partner.  This transaction was non-recurring in nature, and therefore attributed to the decrease in revenue during the six month period ended June 30, 2011, and was slightly offset by the increase in services through our iProxyDirect software previously mentioned.  Although we continue to build extensive compliance technologies, we are not a software company; our developments are generally bundled into our service offerings that provide us the luxury of having a competitive advantage in the market.
 
    Transfer agent revenue increased slightly by $8,983 during the three month period ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the same period in fiscal 2010, and decreased slightly by $5,546 during the six month period ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the same fiscal period in 2010.  Although our core transfer agent business continues to increase, we achieved revenue from corporate actions of $50,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2010, but had very little revenue from corporate actions in the six months ended June 30, 2011.  Historically corporate action services are tied to a transaction that results in a project-based engagement, therefore the timing and predictability of this type of revenue becomes difficult to forecast.  However, we do anticipate that corporate actions will be a continuing source of revenue in the future.
 
    No customers accounted for more than 10% of the operating revenues during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2011.  During the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, one customer accounted for 78.7% and 62.7% of our operating revenues, respectively.

Cost of Revenues and Gross Margin
 
    Cost of revenues consist primarily of direct labor costs, third party licensing, print production materials, postage, and outside services directly related to the delivery of services to our customers.  Cost of revenues decreased by $1,475,986 and $1,443,145, respectively, in the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the same period in fiscal 2010.  The decreases in cost of revenues are due primarily to the large print and fulfillment job during the second quarter of 2010 previously discussed.  However, overall gross margins increased to 60% and 59%, respectively, during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2011 as compared to 19% and 29%, respectively, during the same periods in 2010.  Margins were significantly below our normal margin requirements on our large print and fulfillment job in the second quarter of 2010.  Therefore, although our revenues were much lower during the three and six months periods ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the same periods of fiscal 2010 as previously discussed, our overall gross profit increased by $220,207 and $95,841.  We believe that the margins achieved in the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2011 are more reflective of our expected margins, as most of our revenue in 2011 was achieved from our core service offerings, and was not skewed by any large, non-recurring transactions.
 
    Costs related to compliance and reporting services are related principally to direct labor costs and third party vendor costs.
 
    Costs related to printing and financial communications fluctuate periodically as the cost of the services and materials fluctuate, and can also vary significantly based on the variables of any one project.  We strive to maintain reasonable margins for these services.
 
    We incur direct labor costs for software licensing, as all development is performed in-house.  To date, costs have not been significant, nor do we expect a significant increase in future periods.
 
    To date, costs for transfer agent services have also been minimal, in proportion to this growing revenue stream. We will devote additional resources to this service offering as we expand these services in future periods.

Operating Expenses
 
General and Administrative Expense
 
    General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries, insurance, fees for professional services, general corporate expenses and facility and equipment expenses. General and administrative expenses increased $50,751 and $124,186, respectively, during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the same period in fiscal 2010.  The increase in the three months ended June 30, 2011 is primarily due to increases in facilities costs of $30,484, an increase in bad debt expense of $29,020, and increases in personnel cost of $23,909.  These increases were partially offset by a decrease in accounting fees of $30,650.  The increase during the six months ended June 30, 2011 is primarily due to increases in facilities costs of $63,431, an increase in personnel cost of $57,753, and an increase in bad debt expense of $35,576.
 
    The increase in facilities is due to rent, utilities and other costs associated with our new corporate headquarters.  We moved into a 16,059 square foot location in September 2010 in order to meet our expected needs associated with staffing our XBRL services, and to allow us to bring more print and fulfillment services in house.  We believe that our new office space will provide us with greater capacity and flexibility to meet the needs of our customers, which we believe will lead to significant revenue opportunities in the future.  The increase in personnel is due to additional administrative employees, annual merit increases, and the implementation of health insurance for employees.
 
Sales and Marketing Expenses
 
    Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of salaries, sales commissions, sales consultants, advertising expenses, and marketing expenses. Sales and marketing expenses for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2011 increased $17,017 and $16,660, respectively, as compared to the same periods in fiscal 2010.  The increases are primarily due to increases in personnel cost as we have hired two additional salespeople.
 
Depreciation and Amortization
 
    Depreciation and amortization expenses during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2011 increased slightly by $3,000 and $3,420, respectively, as compared to the same periods in fiscal 2010.

Other Income (Expense)
 
    Other income (expense) increased slightly by $526 during the three months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the same period of fiscal 2010.  Other income (expense) of $4,860 during the six months ended June 30, 2011 consisted primarily of finance charges to customers with past due balances that we are reasonably assured that we will collect.  Other income (expense) during the six months ended June 30, 2011 of ($33,798) consists primarily of interest expense on related party notes payable.  In fiscal 2010, we recorded non-cash interest expense of $34,178 upon the conversion of the notes payable into shares of the company for the value of the shares received in excess of the carrying value of the notes payable and accrued interest.
 
Income Tax Expense
 
    Income tax expense was $12,624 during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2011 compared to zero in the same periods of fiscal 2010.  During the six months ended June 30, 2011, we reversed the remaining balance of our valuation allowance against our deferred tax asset and recorded the remaining estimated income tax liability.
 
Net Income (Loss)
 
    Net income for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2011 increased $171,375 and $10,929, respectively, as compared to the same periods of fiscal 2010.  Although revenue was significantly lower in both periods of fiscal 2011 as discussed previously, our gross profits increased $220,207 and $95,841, respectively, in the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the same periods of fiscal 2010.  The increases in gross profits were offset partially by increases in general and administrative expenses previously discussed.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
    As of June 30, 2011, we had $616,430 in cash and cash equivalents and $369,452 net accounts receivable. Current liabilities at June 30, 2011 totaled $219,314, including accounts payable, deferred revenue, accrued payroll liabilities, and accrued expenses. At June 30, 2011, our total assets exceeded our total liabilities by $1,190,418.  We also have $200,000 available to us under a working capital line of credit with no outstanding balance.
 
    We manage our cash flow carefully with the intent to meet our obligations from cash generated from operations. However, it is possible that we will have to raise additional funds through the issuance of equity in order to meet our future obligations. There can be no assurance that cash generated from operations will be sufficient to fund our operating expenses or meet our other obligations, and there is no assurance that debt or equity financing will be available, or if available, that such financing will be upon terms acceptable to us.
 
2011 Outlook
 
    The following statements and certain statements made elsewhere in this document are based upon current expectations. These statements are forward looking and are subject to factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those suggested here, including, without limitation, demand for and acceptance of our services, new developments, competition and general economic or market conditions, particularly in the domestic and international capital markets. Refer also to the Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward Looking Statements included in this report.
 
    Our vision is to be a market leader of unified regulatory solutions for compliance professionals, by providing a true single sourced model for issuers and the capital markets.  We pride ourselves on the best systems, the best service to our clients, the highest support to our staff; record results, higher returns to our shareholders, and higher rewards to our team members.
 
    Our strategy is focused on maximizing long-term shareholder value by driving profitable growth, continuing our focus on productivity, and acquiring and integrating complementary businesses.
 
    We are committed to profitable quarterly periods. In order to accomplish this, we have to be innovative and competitive when the overall markets show signs of change. We will continue to make prudent investments in long-term business infrastructure and identifiable market segments that support our business and leverage our emerging technology compliance platform. We will continue to focus many of our development initiatives on compliance systems that facilitate a cohesive emergence of products and services that make it easier for compliance professionals to manage an array of regulatory driven activities and shareholder demands. This focus may lead us to becoming a provider to other service providers in the issuer services marketplace. As a reseller and / or back-office provider, margins generally are lower but top line revenues should be much greater over a fiscal period.

XBRL Reporting Business
 
    We are focused on expanding our total XBRL customer base and expect to do work for hundreds of companies this year in this market, either directly or indirectly through our subsidiary reseller channel. We will seek to leverage our market position, qualified staff and emerging technologies in this newly competitive landscape. Although the market price for this complex tagging service has dropped quicker than we expected, resulting in lower margins, we still believe our core financial reporting business will see much higher revenues and margins in 2011 compared to our past results.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
    We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to stockholders.

Based upon this evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective and have not changed since its most recent annual report.
 
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
    We regularly review our system of internal control over financial reporting to ensure we maintain an effective internal control environment.  There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
