NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
Basis of Presentation
The unaudited interim balance sheet as of June 30, 2012 and statements of operations and cash flows for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 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”) 2011 audited financial statements filed on Form 10-K.
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts to conform to the current period presentation. All reclassifications have been applied consistently for the periods presented.
|
Note 2.
|
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
|
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Direct Transfer LLC and QX Interactive LLC. Significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.
Common Stock Split
On October 31, 2011, the Company effected a one-for-ten reverse stock split to shareholders of record as of October 31, 2011. All share and per share information has been retroactively adjusted to reflect the stock split. The number of authorized shares of the Company's common stock and its par value remain unchanged. Outstanding stock incentive awards are adjusted to give effect to the reverse split and the shares available for future grants were proportionately reduced.
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 six months ended June 30, 2012 excludes the effect of 254,500 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock options agreements because the impact is anti-dilutive.
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. Deferred revenue primarily consists of upfront payments for annual service contracts, and is recognized throughout the year as the services are performed.
Deferred Costs
For all customer sales arrangements in which we defer the recognition of revenue, we also defer the associated costs, such as the personnel or expenses incurred with third parties to perform the services.
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.

ISSUER DIRECT CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
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, the valuation of goodwill and intangible assets, and stock based compensation. 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. We recognized an income tax benefit of $13,500 during the six-month period ended June 30, 2012 that we expect to realize based on projected future profitability. We recorded income tax expense of $24,000 and $12,624 during the three-month periods ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and income tax expense of $12,624 during the six-month period ended June 30, 2011.
Fair Value Measurements
As of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, we do not have any financial assets or liabilities that are required to be, or that we elected to measure, at fair value.
We comply with the authoritative guidance for fair value provisions applicable to nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities. 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.
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 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.
The Company recognized stock based compensation expense of $184,692 and $24,244 during the three-month periods ended June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011, respectively. The Company recognized stock based compensation expense of $266,603 and $43,590 during the six-month periods ended June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011, 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.

The Company acquired rights to all customer contracts of privately held SEC Compliance Services, Inc. (“SECCS”) on January 4, 2012. The purchase price of $425,000 consisted of cash proceeds of $285,000 and 70,000 shares of common stock with a value of $140,000 based on the Company’s stock price of $2.00 per share on the close of business on January 4, 2012. The Company borrowed $275,000 from its line of credit to finance the transaction. The Company is amortizing the purchase price of $425,000 over its estimated useful life of five years.

Stockholders’ Equity
|
Preferred Stock
On March 26, 2012, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to the Certificate of Designation for the Series A and B Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Amendment”). Under the terms of the Amendment, the Series A and Series B Designations were removed. As a result, at June 30, 2012, the Company has 30,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock authorized with a par value of $1.00 per share, with no shares designated, issued, or outstanding. On June 29, 2012, the shareholders of the Company approved a reduction in the par value of the Preferred Stock from $1.00 per share to $0.001 per share, which became effective on July 16, 2012.
Common Stock
As discussed in Note 3, the Company issued 70,000 shares of common stock with a value of $140,000 to the former shareholders of SECCS on January 4, 2012 as part of the consideration given for the purchase of assets obtained from SECCS.
Restricted Common Stock
On April 2, 2012, the Company issued grants for a total of 95,000 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Awards”) to its executive officers and certain other employees. The Awards vest over periods up to two years as stated in the Award Agreements, and will accelerate in the event of a Corporate Transaction, as such term is defined in the Award Agreements. In the event a grantee’s relationship with the Company is terminated for any reason, vesting will immediately cease. These Awards are not part of the 2010 Equity Incentive Plan.
Dividends
On April 2, 2012, the Company’s Board of Directors approved and declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.03 per share. The dividend was paid on May 3, 2012 to shareholders of record as of April 19, 2012.
On July 3, 2012, the Company’s Board of Directors approved and declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.03 per share. The dividend was paid on August 3, 2012 to shareholders of record as of July 18, 2012.
The Company has recorded all payments of dividends as a reduction of additional paid in capital, as the company has an accumulated deficit through June 30, 2012.

No customers accounted for more than 10% of the operating revenues during the three or six-month periods ended June 30, 2012 or 2011. We did not have any customers that comprised more than 10% of our total accounts receivable balances at June 30, 2012 or December 31, 2011.
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.

Litigation
|
On June 24, 2011, Kinder Investments, LP (“Kinder”), a former holder of five shares of the Company’s Series A preferred stock, sued the Company, its current officers and directors, and it’s outside legal counsel, claiming the Company falsely forced the redemption of Kinder’s preferred stock without paying $1,075,000 in accumulated dividends and other amounts it believed was due. The Company believed the claims were without merit and retained legal counsel and disputed the claims. The Company settled the
litigation on February 22, 2012 on favorable terms without admitting any liability. The Company recorded litigation expense of $206,263 during the year ended December 31, 2011, of which $130,000 was recorded as an accrued liability at December 31, 2011. All amounts were paid during the first three months of fiscal 2012, and therefore there was no accrual as of June 30, 2012.

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).
The Company strives to be a market leader and innovator of disclosure management system and cloud–based compliance technologies. With a focus on corporate issuers, the Company alleviates the complexity of maintaining compliance with its integrated portfolio of products and services that enhance companies' ability to efficiently produce and distribute their financial and business communications both online and in print.
We work with a diverse client base in the financial services industry, including brokerage firms, banks, mutual funds, corporate issuers, shareholders and specialty firms such as accountants and the legal community. For example, corporate issuers utilize our cloud-based technologies and services from document creation all the way to dissemination to regulatory bodies and shareholders. With this example, we generate revenue from all of our services during the lifecycle.
On January 4, 2012, the Company acquired the rights to all customer contracts, of SEC Compliance Services, Inc. (“SECCS”). We purchased the rights to the customer contracts of New York Stock Transfer on May 10, 2012.
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 offerings are classified into four areas of corporate focus: (1) Disclosure Reporting, (2) Shareholder Communications, (3) Proxy Services, and (4) Direct Transfer. These four core business streams comprise our Disclosure Management System (DMS).
Disclosure Management System
Our Disclosure Management System (DMS) is a business process outsourcing (BPO) model, whereby we act under contract as a back-office extension of the corporate issuer’s management and board of directors. Our disclosure process aims to uniquely create efficiencies not previously possible in areas of normal regulatory business functions of the public markets, where we can clearly improve processes, streamline complexities, while reducing expenditures, generally associated with reporting and disclosure requirements.
Our disclosure management system is the only secure workflow technology available today that allows officers, directors and compliance professionals the ability to manage the entire back-office functions of their respective companies from one interface.
As a fully registered Securities and Exchange Commission Filing Agent, we assist corporate issuers, mutual funds, law firms, resellers, and individuals with all of their securities filing needs. Many U.S. companies are required to file corporate documents with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”); including registration statements, annual reports, quarterly reports, prospectuses, information statements, material event filings, proxy statements, ownership documents, and more.
Since 2009, the SEC has been phasing in requirements for companies who must file public reports with the SEC to supplement their disclosure reporting requirements with XBRL (eXtensible Business Reporting Language) filings. XBRL is a freely available XML-based specification that uses accepted financial reporting standards and practices to exchange financial statements across all software and technologies, including the Internet. It is an XML-based framework that provides the financial community a standards-based method to prepare, publish in a variety of formats, and reliably extract and automatically exchange financial statements of publicly held companies. XBRL is not about establishing new accounting standards but enhancing the usability of the ones that we have through the digital language of business, XML.
The SEC phase in approach began in 2009 and ended June 2011, requiring all reporting companies to file quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and annual reports on Form 10-K, 20-F and 40-F in interactive data.
We market our interactive reporting directly under the brand Issuer Direct and to our resellers under the brand Issuer Services and QX Interactive. Our strategy over the next three to five years is to increase our core disclosure business from the filing agent community both in XBRL and EDGAR filings.
Financial Printing
As one of the only 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 year, we 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 and at the same time forms one interface. As regulations continue 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.
We foresee continued success with our mutual fund and ETF clients as well as significant opportunities to service a broader base of larger corporate issuers in the coming years. Additionally, we continue to explore very strategic relationships’ with niche markets that service a segment of the marketplace in which we believe we can be a leader both short and long term.
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 not only our client’s investor relations departments but also market disseminators and financial portals. Our offerings include a blend of proprietary datafeed technologies 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.
During the three months ended June 30, 2012, we began transitioning certain content from our strategic partnerships, whereby we re-distribute content to the desktops of users to on an on-demand, to a blend of our own data-set technology. This development effort will result in longer term margin improvements in this segment and less reliance on third party providers. We intend to license portions of our data business to other provider and disseminators that are seeking a competitive replacement in the market.
11
Proxy Services
Our Proxy system, branded as iProxyDirect,
is a comprehensive technology platform that encompasses issuers, shareholders, banks, brokers and vital constituents during the proxy process. iProxyDirect is one of the only voting platforms where corporate issuers, mutual funds, and mutual fund administrators can setup, manage, communicate and monitor the entire proxy process from one online system. iProxyDirect offers Notice & Access options, material on demand fulfillment, digital delivery, and secure document hosting and real-time voting.
Direct Transfer
We operate our transfer agent business under the brand Direct Transfer, which is a wholly owned subsidiary. Our shareholder services business provides a complete array of agency and registrar services beyond traditional transfer activities. By combining our online workflow technologies, corporate issuers and their constituents can manage, issue, monitor, communicate and disseminate all facets of shareholder information within minutes.
Our commitment to compliance and safeguarding of information goes beyond our SSAE 16 business process. We maintain our client’s books and records in the manner we would expect ours to be managed, and that second-to-none service has enabled us to sustain our valued clients, withstand regulatory change and competitiveness by other providers. Corporate issuers have the ability to take advantage of the following:

Revenues
Total revenue increased slightly by $4,568 to $1,108,439 during the three-month period ended June 30, 2012, as compared to $1,103,871 during the same period of fiscal 2011. Total revenue increased by $287,607, or 18%, to $1,905,034 during the six month period ended June 30, 2012, as compared to $1,617,427 during the same period of fiscal 2011. The overall increase during the six month period ended June 30, 2012 as compared to the same period of fiscal 2011 is primarily due to an increase in compliance and reporting revenue of $324,449, which is attributable to increases in XBRL services. We began performing substantial XBRL services in the second quarter of 2011, and therefore there was very little revenue for XBRL services in the first quarter of 2011.
Compliance and reporting service revenue increased $77,046, or 16%, during the three month period ended June 30, 2012, as compared to the same period in fiscal 2011. While we have increased the number of clients for whom we perform XBRL services significantly, most of the revenue during the three-month period ended June 30, 2011 consisted of upfront set-up work. Most of our clients are small reporting companies. Therefore under the SEC’s three-year mandate for companies to begin filing quarterly and annual reports in XBRL, most of our clients were first required to file or periods ended after June 15, 2011. As most of our clients were filing for the first time in 2011, we were able to perform and charge significant one-time fees for initial set up services. During the three months ended June 30, 2012, most of our revenue from XBRL represents recurring, ongoing services. We anticipate that our recurring billings will continue to increase as we acquire more clients. Compliance and reporting service revenue increased $324,449, or 46%, during the six month period ended June 30, 2012, as compared to the same period in fiscal 2011. As previously mentioned, this increase is primarily attributable to the fact that we did not perform any substantial XBRL services until the second quarter of 2011. Furthermore, effective for all periods ended after June 15, 2012, smaller reporting companies will be required to add detail footnote tagging to their quarterly and annual filings, which will lead to both additional revenue opportunities as well as an expansion of staff requirements to deliver these services.
13
Printing and financial communication revenue decreased $28,598 during the three month period ended June 30, 2012 as compared to the same period in fiscal 2011, and increased $41,708 during the six month period ended June 30, 2012 as compared to the same period in fiscal 2011. Revenue from printing, particularly from our iFund platform, tends to be somewhat project oriented, and will therefore fluctuate from period to period based on the timing of projects. We will continue to focus on obtaining more recurring revenues, particularly from our Print-On-Demand services.
Fulfillment and distribution revenue decreased by $57,671 and $55,567, respectively, during the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2012 as compared to the same period in fiscal 2011. Similar to revenue from printing services, fulfillment and distribution revenue tends to be somewhat project oriented, and will therefore fluctuate from period to period based on the timing of projects.
Software licensing revenues increased by $6,988 and $39,521, respectively, during the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2012 as compared to the same period in fiscal 2011 as we performed more proxy services through our iProxyDirect software in fiscal 2012. The timing of proxy services requested from our clients can be difficult to predict, and therefore revenue from this source can fluctuate significantly between quarters.
Transfer agent revenue increased slightly by $6,803 during the three-month period ended June 30, 2012, primarily due to the purchase of the clients of New York Stock Transfer in May 2012. Transfer agent revenue decreased by $62,504 during the six-month period ended June 30, 2012 as compared to the same period in fiscal 2011. Although the number of transfer agent clients continued to grow for the six months ended June 30, 2012 as compared to the previous period, we experienced very few corporate action type engagements in fiscal 2012. 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 or six-month periods ended June 30, 2012 or June 30, 2011.
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 slightly by 27,674, or 6%, in the three-month period ended June 30, 2012 as compared to the same period in fiscal 2011. Gross margins for the three-month period ended June 30, 2012 improved to 63% of revenue as compared to 60% of revenue in the same period of fiscal 2011. Furthermore, we achieved margins of 69% from our compliance and regulatory services during the three-month period ended June 30, 2012 as compared to 66% in the same period of fiscal 2011, primarily due to our XBRL service offerings.
Although pricing pressures in the market are accelerating quicker than we anticipated, we have been able to improve our margins from our XBRL services, and will continue to look for opportunities to expand and improve margins from these services.
We achieved margins of 59% from our printing and financial communications services during the three-month period ended June 30, 2012 as compared to 54% in the same period of fiscal 2011, as we continue to shift to higher margin projects from our iFund and Print-on-Demand services.
Gross margins from our fulfillment and distribution services decreased to 36% during the three month period ended June 30, 2012 as compared to 43% in the same period of fiscal 2011, as a lower portion of our revenue was earned from news distribution services which typically achieve relatively high margins.
Gross margins from our software licensing was 98% for both the three-month periods ended June 30, 2012 and 2011.
Gross margins from our transfer agent services decreased slightly to 66% during the three-month period ended June 30, 2012 as compared to 69% in the same period of fiscal 2011.
Cost of revenues increased by 96,924, or 14%, in the six-month period ended June 30, 2012 as compared to the same period in fiscal 2011. However, overall gross margins increased by $190,683, or 20%, to $1,138,899 during the six-month period ended June 30, 2012 as compared to $948,216 in the same period of fiscal 2011. Gross margins for the six-month period ended June 30, 2012 increased slightly to 60% of revenue compared to 59% of revenue during the same period of fiscal 2011.
Furthermore, we achieved margins of 64% from our compliance and regulatory services during the six-month period ended June 30, 2012 as compared to 62% in the same period of fiscal 2011, primarily due to our XBRL service offerings. We have been able to improve our margins from our XBRL services, and will continue to look for opportunities to expand and improve margins from these services.
14
We achieved margins of 59% from our printing and financial communications services during the six-month period ended June 30, 2012 as compared to 49% in the same period of fiscal 2011, as we have shifted to higher margin projects from our iFund and Print-on-Demand services.
Gross margins from our fulfillment and distribution services decreased to 37% during the three month period ended June 30, 2012 as compared to 46% in the same period of fiscal 2011, as a lower portion of our revenue was earned from news distribution services which typically achieve relatively high margins.
Gross margins from software licensing remained relatively high, and were 99% and 97% during the six month periods ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
Gross margins from our transfer agent services decreased to 54% during the six-month period ended June 30, 2012 as compared to 71% in the same period of fiscal 2011. As discussed above, we had very little revenue from corporate actions in the six months ended June 30, 2012, which contributed significantly to the gross margin for these services.
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, but market demands, and inventory levels play a significant impact in our overall ability to attract new business.
We incur direct labor costs for software licensing, as all development is performed in-house. To date, costs have not been significant. We intend to increase our development efforts in the coming quarters to further enhance our intellectual property and market position in both our shareholder communications and disclosure management business.
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, stock based compensation, insurance, fees for professional services, general corporate expenses and facility and equipment expenses. General and administrative expenses increased $122,303 and $177,840, respectively, during the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2012 as compared to the same period in fiscal 2011. The increase in the three months ended June 30, 2012 is primarily due to an increase in personnel related expenses of $115,555. The increase during the six-month period ended June 30, 2012 is primarily due to an increase in personnel related expenses of $150,108.
The increase in personnel related expenses is largely due to increases in stock based compensation of $94,815 and $115,042, respectively, during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2012 as compared to the same periods of fiscal 2011. During the first quarter of fiscal 2012, we issued stock options to a consultant for investor relation services that were immediately vested. During the second quarter of fiscal 2012, we issued grants for a total of 95,000 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock to its executive officers and certain other employees. 20,000 of these shares were vested immediately, resulting in an immediate expense. We also hired one additional general and administrative employee.
Sales and Marketing Expenses
Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of salaries, stock based compensation, sales commissions, sales consultants, advertising expenses, and marketing expenses. Sales and marketing expenses for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2012 increased by $139,076 and $287,060, respectively, as compared to the same periods of fiscal 2011.
The increase in sales and marketing expense is almost entirely attributable to the hiring of five former employees and consultants of SEC Compliance Services, Inc. (“SECCS”) in January 2012, including our Vice President of Sales. Salaries and consulting fees increased $74,567 and $167,599, respectively, during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2012 as compared to the same periods of fiscal 2011 primarily due to the hiring of these four individuals, along with higher commissions based on higher sales. Furthermore, we issued options to purchase our common stock to certain former employees and consultants of SECCS which vest upon the achievement of milestones related to executing annual contracts for XBRL services or revenue thresholds. As a result, stock based compensation within sales and marketing expense increased $61,292 and $101,925, respectively, during the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2012 as compared to the same periods in fiscal 2011. We anticipate that these individuals will contribute to revenue growth in the second half of 2012 as we begin to realize revenue from year two XBRL contracts.
15
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization expenses during the three-month period June 30, 2012 increased to $35,429 as compared to $13,181 during the same period of fiscal 2011. Depreciation and amortization expenses during the six-month period June 30, 2012 increased to $71,497 as compared to $25,000 during the same period of fiscal 2011. We acquired certain assets, primarily the rights to all customer contracts, of SECCS on January 4, 2012. We are amortizing the purchase price of $425,000 over its estimated useful life of five years, which attributed to an increase in amortization expense in fiscal 2012.
Interest Income, Net
Net interest income (expense) of $490 and $1,998 during the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and $4,027 and $4,860 during the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, consisted primarily of finance charges to customers with past due balances that we are reasonably assured that we will collect, and were offset slightly by interest payable on our outstanding line of credit in fiscal 2012.
Income tax benefit
The company recorded an income tax benefit of $13,500 during the six-month period ended June 30, 2012, which we expect to realize in the second half of fiscal 2012 based on projected profitability. We recorded income tax expense of $24,000 during the three-month period ended June 30, 2012 as compared to $12,624 in the same period of fiscal 2011 based on our effective tax rate on the profits for the period.
Net Income (Loss)
Net income for the three-month period ended June 30, 2012 was $35,949 as compared to $300,218 in the same period of fiscal 2011. Net loss for the six-month period ended June 30, 2012 was $20,987 as compared to net income of $274,436 in the same period of fiscal 2011. Although we had higher revenues and gross margin in the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2012 as compared to the same periods in fiscal 2011 as discussed above, we realized lower income due to the increases in general and administrative and sales and marketing expenses discussed above. As previously discussed, much of the increases were due to stock based compensation and amortization expenses as opposed to cash expenses. We recorded stock based compensation of $184,692 and $266,603, respectively, during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2012, and depreciation and amortization expenses of $35,429 and $71,497, respectively, during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2012. Furthermore, we believe that the investment that we have made in our sales and marketing team will lead to revenue growth in the second half of 2012, particularly with our XBRL offerings.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2012, we had $813,291 in cash and cash equivalents and $442,388 net accounts receivable. Current liabilities at June 30, 2012, totaled $432,586, including our line of credit, accounts payable, deferred revenue, accrued payroll liabilities, and accrued expenses. At June 30, 2012, our current assets exceeded our current liabilities by $1,044,619.
During the six months ended June 30, 2012, we borrowed $275,000 under a working capital line of credit to purchase customer contracts from SECCS, and have repaid $10,000, leaving a balance of $265,000. We have $185,000 of credit remaining available to us under this line of credit.
We manage our cash flow carefully with the intent to meet our obligations from cash generated from operations. There can be no assurance that cash generated from operations will be sufficient to fund our operating expenses, to allow us to continue paying dividends, 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. The Company does believe that we have sufficient cash to fund our operations for the next twelve months. However, should we need to raise additional capital, either for business expansion reasons and / or to meet certain debt obligations, the Company may opt to issue additional equity securities.

Our vision is to be a market leader of disclosure management systems for compliance professionals, by providing a true single sourced model for issuers and the capital markets.
We pride ourselves on providing 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.
In fiscal 2012, we will continue to focus on expanding our existing customer relationships as well as acquiring new customers. With our acquisition of the customers of SEC Compliance Services, Inc. in January 2012, we increased the number of corporate issuers for whom we perform services to over 500. Therefore, we anticipate that our revenues will increase in 2012 as compared to 2011. In addition to increasing our client base, we expect to see growth in our XBRL revenue as we enter into new annual contracts with issuers that include detail footnote tagging, although much of this increase in revenue will not be recognized until the third and fourth quarters of 2012. We also expect to achieve an overall increase in revenue from our other service offerings.
However, consistent with our results for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2012, we do anticipate increases in our operating expenses to support the customers acquired from SEC Compliance Services. We believe that our unique offerings yield a competitive advantage in the marketplace even though we operate in a competitive sector. We anticipate further consolidation in the marketplace of financial printers and suppliers in 2012, which may result in pricing pressures; however, we believe our unique combination of business offerings will provide us the opportunity to increase our overall market share. We will continue to evaluate strategic partnerships and / or acquisitions as opportunities arise.
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.
