Note 1. Accounting Policies
 
Basis of Presentation
 
The unaudited interim consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2014 and statements of operations, of comprehensive income, and of cash flows for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 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 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”) 2013 audited financial statements filed on Form 10-K.
 
Note 2.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries.  Significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.
 
Earnings (loss) per Share (EPS)
 
We calculate earnings per share in accordance with FASB ASC No. 260 – Earnings per Share, which requires that basic net income per common share be computed by dividing net income for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share is computed by dividing the net income for the period by the weighted average number of common and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding during the period.  Shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options totaling 180,000 were excluded in the computation of diluted earnings per common share during three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014 because their impact was anti-dilutive.  The Company has a convertible note outstanding as of June 30, 2014 that can be converted into 626,566 shares of common stock, which were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share, as 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.
 
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, deferred tax 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, and then adjusted for any discrete period items.

Fair Value Measurements
 
As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we do not have any financial assets or liabilities that are required to be, or that we elected to measure, at fair value.  We believe that the fair value of our financial instruments, which consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, our line of credit, notes payable, and accounts payable approximate their carrying amounts.

Goodwill

Goodwill results from business acquisitions and represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of acquired tangible assets and liabilities and identifiable intangible assets.  Goodwill is assessed at least annually for impairment, and any such impairment will be recognized in the period identified.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets consist of client relationships, customer lists, software, technology and trademarks that are initially measured at fair value.  The trademarks have an indefinite life and are not amortized. The trademarks are assessed annually for impairment, or whenever conditions indicate the asset may be impaired, and any such impairment will be recognized in the period identified. The client relationships, customer lists, software and technology are amortized over their estimated useful lives.
 
Translation of Foreign Financial Statements

The financial statements of the foreign subsidiaries of the Company have been translated into U.S. dollars.  All assets and liabilities have been translated at current rates of exchange in effect at the end of the fiscal period.  Income and expense items have been translated at the average exchange rates for the period.  The gains or losses that result from this process are recorded as a separate component of stockholders’ equity.

Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive income consists of net income and other comprehensive income related to changes in the cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment.

Advertising

The Company expenses advertising as incurred, except for direct-response advertising, which is capitalized and amortized over its expected period of future benefits.

Stock-based compensation

We account for stock-based compensation under FASB ASC No. 718 – Compensation – 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, only if excess tax benefits exist.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
     
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). ASU 2014-09 requires revenue recognition to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 sets forth a new revenue recognition model that requires identifying the contract, identifying the performance obligations, determining the transaction price, allocating the transaction price to performance obligations and recognizing the revenue upon satisfaction of performance obligations. The amendments in the ASU can be applied either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the update recognized at the date of the initial application along with additional disclosures. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2014-09, which is effective for the Company in our fiscal year beginning on January 1, 2017.

Note 3: Intangible Assets and Goodwill

Acquisition of PrecisionIR Group
     
On August 22, 2013, the Company and PrecisionIR Group Inc., a Delaware corporation (“PIR”) entered into and consummated an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Acquisition Agreement”). Under the terms of the Acquisition Agreement, the Company paid $3,450,000 to certain debtors of PIR as full consideration to acquire all of the outstanding shares of PIR.
 
During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company employed a third party valuation firm to assist in determining the purchase price allocation of assets and liabilities acquired from PIR.  The income approach was used to determine the value of PIR’s trademarks and client relationships. The income approach determines the fair value for the asset based on the present value of cash flows projected to be generated by the asset. Projected cash flows are discounted at a rate of return that reflects the relative risk of achieving the cash flow and the time value of money. Projected cash flows for each asset considered multiple factors, including current revenue from existing customers; analysis of expected revenue and attrition trends; reasonable contract renewal assumptions from the perspective of a marketplace participant; expected profit margins giving consideration to marketplace synergies; and required returns to contributory assets. The cost approach was used to determine the value of PIR’s fixed assets, customer list, and software.  The cost approach is based on replacement cost as an indicator of value. It assumes that a prudent investor would pay no more for an asset than the amount for which it could be replaced new. Further, to the extent a particular asset provides less utility than a new one, its value will be less than its replacement cost new. To account for this difference, the replacement cost new is adjusted for losses in value that is, depreciated.  Deferred revenue was recorded at fair value, based on the cost to perform the underlying obligations and a normal profit margin.
     
The transaction resulted in recording intangible assets and goodwill at a fair value of $5,014,030 as follows:

Total Consideration
  $ 3,450,000  
Plus:  Liabilities assumed in excess of tangible assets
    1,564,030

Note 6:  Income taxes
 
We recognized income tax benefit (expense) of $49,631 and ($379) during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014, respectively, based on our projections of future profitability.  We recognized income tax (expense) of ($251,000) and ($403,000) during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2013, respectively, based on our projections of future profitability.  The variation between the company’s annual effective rate and the Unites States statutory rate of 34% is primarily due to state income taxes, foreign income taxes, the effects of stock compensation, and disallowed interest expense.

No customers accounted for more than 10% of the operating revenues during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014 or 2013.  We did not have any customers that comprised more than 10% of our total accounts receivable balances at June 30, 2014 or December 31, 2013.

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.
 
Note 8:  Line of Credit
 
Effective April 30, 2013, the Company renewed its Line of Credit and increased the amount of funds available to 80% of eligible accounts receivable, as defined in the line of credit agreement, up to a maximum of $2,000,000. The interest rate was also reduced to LIBOR plus 3.5%, and therefore was 3.65% at June 30, 2014.  The Company did now owe any amounts on the Line of Credit at June 30, 2014 and had approximately $945,000 remaining for future borrowings under the line of credit based on the calculation of eligible accounts receivable.
 
Note 9:  Long Term Debt – Related Party
 
On August 22, 2013, in connection with and to partially fund the acquisition and simultaneously with the Acquisition of PIR as discussed in Note 3, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement   (the “8% Note Purchase Agreement”) relating to the sale of $2,500,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 8% convertible secured promissory note (“8% Note”) with Red Oak Partners LP (“Red Oak”). Interest is payable quarterly beginning on September 30, 2013, at a rate of 8% per year and matures on August 22, 2015. If an event of default occurs pursuant to the terms of the 8% Note, the interest rate immediately increases to 18%.  The 8% Note is secured by all of the assets of the Company and is subordinated to the Company’s obligations to its primary financial institution.  Furthermore, in connection with the 8% Note Purchase Agreement, the managing partner of Red Oak was appointed to the Company’s Board of Directors.
 
Beginning immediately upon the date of issuance, Red Oak or its assignees may convert the 8% Note into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $3.99 per share.  The conversion price will be adjusted for certain events, such as stock dividends and stock splits.  On the date the Company entered into the 8% Note Purchase Agreement, the Company’s stock price was $8.20 per share, and therefore the Company assigned a value of $2,500,000 to the common stock conversion feature and recorded this as debt discount and additional paid-in capital.  This instrument also created a deferred tax liability of $1,000,000 that reduced the value recorded as additional paid-in capital, and therefore the net amount recorded to stockholders' equity was $1,500,000.  The debt discount of $2,500,000 will be amortized over the two-year life of the loan as non-cash interest expense.  
 
During the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014, the Company recorded non-cash interest expense of $312,500 and $625,000, respectively, related to the 8% Note described above.  During the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014, the Company recorded cash interest expense of $50,000 and $100,000, respectively, related to the 8% Note.

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).

Issuer Direct is a market leader and innovator of Disclosure Management Systems and Cloud–based Compliance Technologies. The Company’s flagship technology platform – the Disclosure Management System (DMS) – is a secure cloud based workflow compliance collaboration system for corporate issuers and compliance professionals.
 
We work with a diverse client base in the financial services industry, including brokerage firms, banks, mutual funds, corporate issuers, shareholders, investor relations officers, and professional firms such as accountants and the legal community. Corporate issuers utilize our cloud-based technologies and services from document creation all the way to dissemination to regulatory bodies and shareholders. We generate revenue from all of our services during the lifecycle.
 
 In 2013, we consolidated our revenue into three revenue streams:  disclosure management, shareholder communications and software licensing.  Historically, we had reported our revenues in five streams – compliance and reporting services, printing and financial communications, fulfillment and distribution, software licensing, and transfer agent services. As a result of the acquisition of PrecisionIR Group, Inc. (“PIR” or “PrecisionIR”) on August 22, 2013, we determined the reclassification of revenues from the combined companies was needed to reflect both our core services as well as the newly acquired business of PrecisionIR.

Disclosure management
 
Our core disclosure business consists of our traditional Edgarization, document management, typesetting and pre-press design services, as well as our XBRL tagging services. In addition we are now reporting our stock transfer revenues as part of our disclosure management revenue stream to better reflect the businesses that are regulated by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
 
During the six months ended June 30, 2014  we have focused our direct selling efforts on the larger cap markets and we expect to continue to do so for the remainder of the year. We also continue to operate our reseller business, Issuer Services, where we manage the back office functions for our partner’s clients. The reseller business  is where we have seen attrition in the smaller cap clients that we currently serve and we expect that trend to continue.  We expect the reseller business to evolve beyond our core disclosure product offers to a bundled model whereby we can effectively sell other disclosure management products and services into this reseller client base.

Shareholder communications
 
As part of the revenue stream realignment, we are now reporting our core press release distribution; investor relation systems and market data cloud business together with the services of PrecisionIR  (Investor Outreach, Annual Report Service, Investor Hotline and Webcasting), as well as our proxy and printing business. These products and services represent our shareholder communications business.  By having our own market data cloud system for our investor relations systems, our products have been able to outperform our expectations in the market compared to our competitors. During fiscal 2014, we intend to begin licensing portions of our data business and application programming interfaces (“API’s”) to other providers and disseminators that are seeking a competitive replacement in the market.  We are committed to continuing to expand revenue from this business.
 
 
13

 
 
Additionally, our shareholder communications business offers additional cloud-based product suites that provide both corporate issuer and market data distribution partners the ability to connect to our market data cloud to access virtually hundreds of customizable data sets for thousands of public companies, as well as the compliance driven modules of Whistleblower, Investor Hotline, Social Disclosure, and our e-Notify request system.
 
Software licensing
 
Revenues from this business still tend to be directly tied to our core businesses, disclosure management and shareholder communications. Specifically, when corporate issuers conduct an annual general meeting, purchase or upgrade their investor relations system, or conduct earnings calls during annual or quarterly periods, we tend to license our technology platforms for each of these examples. Although revenues from this business remain relatively small, we expect them to grow significantly over the next fiscal year as we begin to productize some of our shareholder communications and disclosure management system.
 
We continue to believe there is a significant demand for better quality datasets. We are one of the only companies in this industry utilizing the core financial data of XBRL to power our fundamentals for our Stock Charting & Fundamentals system. Today, we maintain data on over 20,000 companies in our data-cloud, which encompasses stock information, profile data, financial data and reports, fundamentals, news, videos and presentations. During fiscal 2014, we are building these data sets into our Disclosure Management System (DMS). This disclosure system allows corporate issuers, and their constituents the ability to create, edit and publish information from one interface to regulators, markets and shareholders.

Our Technology Platform - Disclosure Management System (DMS)
 
Our DMS is a secure cloud-based business process reporting and automation solution that gives users the ability to disclose, manage, and communicate their respective messages from our enterprise Platform as a Service (PaaS). Our unique disclosure process aims to 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.
 
Our DMS is the only secure workflow technology available today that allows officers, directors, compliance and investor relations professionals the ability to manage the entire back-office functions of their respective companies from one interface.
 
The industry as a whole has chosen to focus their solutions and platforms on one single business process or in some cases are dependent on a complex ERP or accounting system integration, in hopes of providing a clear ROI over a long-term period. Unfortunately this approach requires companies to invest deeply in enterprise wide systems, for the promise of efficiencies and cost savings. Our approach has been to focus on a collection of business processes that typically overlap service organizations, that have either been cumbersome, costly or broken; then, integrate, streamline and improve the flow of information in a more transparent and accurate manner, putting the control back in the hands of our clients. The result is better controls, improved processes, efficient disclosure and increased communication.

Today, the platform that makes up our disclosure management system is used by thousands of officers, directors and compliance and communication professionals. The systems include the following: 

-  
Regulatory compliance (Edgar & XBRL)
-  
Real-time Financial Reviewers Guide
-  
Investor Relation content management (CMS - content management system)
-  
Webcasting / earnings calls
-  
News/Earnings Distribution
-  
Shareholder Analysis and Targeting
-  
Company Spotlight and Annual Report Content Management
-  
Annual Meeting planning and real-time proxy voting system
-  
Stock issuances, and shareholder reporting
-  
Social integration and investor outreach communications

Revenues
 
Total revenue increased by $1,914,484, or 111%, to $3,683,269 during the three-month period ended June 30, 2014, as compared to $1,723,785 during the same period of fiscal 2013. The overall increases in revenue during the three-month period ended June 30, 2014 as compared to the same period of fiscal 2013 is attributable to an increase in revenue from shareholder communications of $2,027,156 and an increase in revenue from software licensing of $139,080 as compared to the same period of 2013. Total revenue increased by $3,997,612, or 128%, to $7,132,625 during the six-month period ended June 30, 2014, as compared to $3,135,013 during the same period of fiscal 2013. The overall increases in revenue during the six-month period ended June 30, 2014 as compared to the same period of fiscal 2013 is attributable to an increase in revenue from shareholder communications of $4,050,283 and an increase in revenue from software licensing of $324,242 as compared to the same period of 2013.  The increases in both the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2014 are all due to the acquisition of PrecisionIR on August 22, 2013.
 
Disclosure management revenues decreased $251,752, or 21%, during the three-month period ended June 30, 2014 as compared to the same period of fiscal 2013.  Disclosure management services decreased $376,913, or 17%, during the six-month period ended June 30, 2014 as compared to the same period of fiscal 2013.  The decreases are attributable to several factors.  We have experienced increased price pressure in our XBRL service offerings as the market becomes more mature.  We have also focused less on our reseller business, as we our focus is on selling direct to issuers.  Furthermore, in fiscal 2013 we were able to charge consulting fees for XBRL for onboarding for first time XBRL filings, and did not have such fees in fiscal 2014. Also, as the markets for digital stock delivery become more widely used, we are seeing less physical issuances and more delivery by digital platform from the Depository and the Bank and Broker community. The timing of these corporate directives and actions are difficult to predict as they are controlled by our clients and the conditions of the market, and therefore fluctuate from quarter to quarter.
 
Shareholder communication revenue increased $2,027,156, or 440% during the three-month period ended June 30, 2014 as compared to the same period of fiscal 2013. Shareholder communication revenue increased $4,050,283, or 570% during the six-month period ended June 30, 2014 as compared to the same period of fiscal 2013. The increases in our shareholder communications business is directly attributable to the inclusion of PrecisionIR revenue in the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2014, as we acquired PrecisionIR on August 22, 2013. We anticipate that we will achieve significant growth in shareholder communications revenue at least through the end of the third quarter of 2014 as compared to 2013 due to the acquisition of PrecisionIR.

Software licensing revenues increased by $139,080, or 145% during the three-month period ended June 30, 2014 as compared to the same period of fiscal 2013. Software licensing revenues increased by $324,242, or 219% during the six-month period ended June 30, 2014 as compared to the same period of fiscal 2013. We generated revenue of $131,406 and $253,588, respectively, from PrecisionIR’s webcasting business in the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2014. The remainder of the increase was due to increased revenue from our market streams and investor relation’s platform.  
 
No customers accounted for more than 10% of the operating revenues during the three or six-month periods ended June 30, 2014 or 2013.
 
Revenue Backlog

At June 30, 2014, we have recorded deferred revenue of $1,332,289 that we expect to recognize over the next twelve months, compared to just $64,400 at June 30, 2013. Deferred revenue primarily consists of customers who have prepaid for our annual report service, and annual XBRL contracts.
 
Cost of Revenues and Gross Margin
 
Cost of revenues consists primarily of direct labor costs, third party licensing, warehousing, logistics, print production materials, postage, and outside services directly related to the delivery of services to our customers.  Cost of revenues increased by $556,583, or 109% during the three-month period ended June 30, 2014 as compared to the same period of fiscal 2013. Cost of revenues increased by $1,185,284, or 130% during the six-month period ended June 30, 2014 as compared to the same period of fiscal 2013.  However, overall gross margin remained high during the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2014 at 71%, compared to 70% and 71%, respectively, in the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2013.

We achieved margins of 76% from our disclosure management services during the three month-period ended June 30, 2014 as compared to 78% in the same period of fiscal 2013.  We achieved margins of 74% from our disclosure management services during the six month-period ended June 30, 2014 as compared to 78% in the same period of fiscal 2013. As previously discussed we are experiencing pricing pressure for our XBRL services.  However, we anticipate that margins from our disclosure management services will still remain above 70% in the future.  

Gross margins from our shareholder communications services increased to 68% in the three-month period ended June 30, 2014, as compared to 46% in the same period of fiscal 2013.  Gross margins from our shareholder communications services increased to 68% in the six-month period ended June 30, 2014, as compared to 44% in the same period of fiscal 2013.  As previously stated, our revenues from these services increased significantly in fiscal 2014 due to the inclusion of PrecisionIR revenues.  PrecisionIR has historically achieved margins of approximately 70% or more from these services, which has attributed to the overall improvement in gross margins.

Gross margins from software licensing were 82% in the three-month period ended June 30, 2014, as compared to 98% in the same period of fiscal 2013. Gross margins from software licensing were 82% in the six-month period ended June 30, 2014, as compared to 99% in the same period of fiscal 2013. Software revenue now includes PrecisionIR’s webcasting business, which will result in higher revenues in the future, but at slightly lower margins due to the platform cost to deliver the service.

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 $616,945 during the three-month period ended June 30, 2014 as compared to the same period of fiscal 2013.

The increase in the three-month period end June 30, 2014 as compared to the same period of fiscal 2013 was largely due to the inclusion of PrecisionIR’s general and administrative expenses. Cash related personnel expenses increased $304,554, and stock based compensation increased $43,901.  Facility related cost, including rent, increased $41,068.  Furthermore, professional fees increased $106,228 to support a more complex audit, tax consulting and preparation services, legal cost, and also for consulting fees paid to implement a new accounting system.
 
General and administrative expenses increased $1,494,596 during the six-month period ended June 30, 2014 as compared to the same period of fiscal 2013.

The increase in the six-month period end June 30, 2014 as compared to the same period of fiscal 2013 was also largely due the inclusion of PrecisionIR’s general and administrative expenses. Cash related personnel expenses increased $733,610, and stock based compensation increased $75,675.  Facility related cost, including rent, increased $69,335.  Furthermore, professional fees increased $239,431 to support a more complex audit, tax consulting and preparation services, legal cost, and also for consulting fees paid to implement a new accounting system.  Furthermore, we paid fees of $50,000 in the listing of our common stock on NYSE MKTS as we moved to the exchange during the first quarter of 2014.

 
 
16

 
 
Certain of the increases in general and administrative cost mentioned above are non-recurring in nature, such as consulting fees, other professional fees, and the entire NYSE MKTS list fee, so we anticipate that general and administrative expenses will decrease in the future.  Management believes it can manage the general and administrative expenses going forward to be inline with revenues.
 
         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-month period ended June 30, 2014 increased by $726,845 as compared to the same period of fiscal 2013. Sales and marketing expenses for the six-month period ended June 30, 2014 increased by $1,049,351 as compared to the same period of fiscal 2013. These increase are almost entirely attributable to the inclusion of PrecisionIR sales and marketing activities in fiscal 2014.
 
As a percentage of revenue, sales and marketing expense was 25% during the three-month period ended June 30, 2014, compared to 10% in the same period of fiscal 2013. As a percentage of revenue, sales and marketing expense was 20% during the six-month period ended June 30, 2014, compared to 12% in the same period of fiscal 2013. We placed a higher priority on sales and marketing activities, particularly direct mail campaigns, in the legacy PrecisionIR business in the second quarter of 2014, and therefore sales and marketing expense increased as a percentage of revenue in both the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2014.
 
Depreciation and Amortization
 
Depreciation and amortization expenses during the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2014 increased by $248,179 and $495,110, respectively, as compared to the same period of fiscal 2013. The increase is almost entirely attributable to the amortization of intangible assets recorded as a result of the acquisition of PrecisionIR on August 22, 2013
 
Interest Income and Expense, Net
 
Net interest expense during the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2014 increased $363,221 and $725,030, respectively, as compared to the same periods of 2013.  During the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2014, the Company recorded non-cash interest expense of $312,500 and $625,000, respectively, and cash interest expense of $50,000 and $100,000, respectively, related to the 8% Note (see Note 9 of the Consolidated Financial Statements), which attributed almost entirely to the increase in interest expense. We expect net interest expense to continue to increase significantly through the end of the third quarter of 2014 compared to the same periods in the prior year due to the full year impact of the amortization of debt discount and cash interest expense.
 
Income tax benefit (expense)
 
We recorded an income tax benefit of $49,631 during the three month-period ended June 30, 2014 as compared to income tax expense of $251,000 during the same period of 2013.   We recorded an income tax expense of $379 during the six month-period ended June 30, 2014 as compared to $403,000 during the same period of 2013.  The variation between the company’s annual effective rate and the Unites States statutory rate of 34% is primarily due to state income taxes, foreign income taxes, the effects of stock compensation, and disallowed interest expense.  The tax benefit recorded in the three-month period ended June 30, 2014 is primarily due to a difference in the estimated effective tax rate and income in foreign jurisdictions, based on the utilization of tax credits.
 
Net Income/Loss
 
Net income for the three-month period ended June 30, 2014 was $68,023 compared to $364,681 in the same period of fiscal 2013.  Net income for the six-month period ended June 30, 2014 was $31,081 compared to $580,219 in the same period of fiscal 2013.
 
Although revenues were significantly higher with sustained gross margins in three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2014 as compared to the same periods of 2013 as previously discussed, net income in 2014 is lower for both periods primarily due to our increased amortization expenses related to the intangible assets recorded as a result of the acquisition of PrecisionIR, as well as significant non-cash and cash interest expense as explained above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
As of June 30, 2014, we had $2,160,993 in cash and cash equivalents and $2,627,879 in net accounts receivable. Current liabilities at June 30, 2014, totaled $2,436,053 including our accounts payable, deferred revenue, accrued payroll liabilities, accrued postage, income taxes payable, and other accrued expenses. At June 30, 2014, our current assets exceeded our current liabilities by $2,621,847.  
 
Effective April 30, 2013, the Company renewed its Line of Credit and increased the amount of funds available to 80% of eligible accounts receivable, as defined in the line of credit agreement, up to a maximum of $2,000,000. The Company did not owe any amounts on the Line of Credit at June 30, 2014 and had approximately $945,000 remaining for future borrowings under the line of credit based on the calculation of eligible accounts receivable.
 
On August 22, 2013, in connection with and to partially fund the acquisition and simultaneously with the acquisition of PIR, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement   (the “8% Note Purchase Agreement”) relating to the sale of $2,500,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 8% convertible secured promissory note (“8% Note”) with Red Oak Partners LP (“Red Oak”). The 8% Note began paying quarterly interest payments on September 30, 2013. The 8% Note will mature on August 22, 2015. If event of default occurs pursuant to the terms of the 8% Note, the interest rate immediately increases to 18%.  The 8% Note is secured by all of the assets of the Company and is subordinated to the Company’s obligations to its primary financial institution.  Beginning immediately upon the date of issuance, Red Oak or its assigns may convert the 8% Note into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $3.99 per share.  The conversion price will be adjusted for certain events, such as stock dividends and stock splits.
 
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 debt obligations. There can be no assurance that cash generated from operations will be sufficient to fund our operating expenses, to allow us to pay 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.

2014 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.
 
The Company’s outlook for 2014 remains positive as compared to 2013, and we will anticipate achieving significant year over year increases in revenue through the end of the third quarter, as PrecisionIR was acquired during the third quarter of 2013. By integrating the business of PrecisionIR with Issuer Direct’s core operations, management continues to feel confident in its ability to execute against its objectives and strategy, and to generate positive results as compared to comparable periods of the prior year. Furthermore, as more of our revenue is under quarterly and annual contracts, our revenue will continue to become more predictable.  At June 30, 2014, we have deferred revenue of $1,332,289 that will be recognized over the next twelve months, compared to just $64,400 at June 30, 2013.
 
We have spent and will continue to spend a considerable amount of time focused on our product sets, platforms and intellectual property development through the remaining part of 2014. These developments are key to our overall offerings in the market and necessary to keep our competitive advantages and sustain the next round of growth management believes it can achieve. By being successful in this development effort, we can achieve increases in revenues per user in the later half of 2014 and through 2015.
 
This strategy is not any different than it has been over the past several years.  We have always strived to remain competitively ahead of the market by integrating, refining and delivering solutions to the corporate issuer marketplace in a offering no other provider could match. The simple fact is, the market has begun to catch up and or has met our levels of being disruptive. Therefore the next phase of our strategy is extremely important to bring to market as successfully as we have done in the past. It is our belief that because of our technology development focus, we will be successful in expanding the number of services per client, as well as the continued organic success in acquiring new clients.
 
In North America we will continue to execute on our initiatives of market expansion while maintaining our overall margins in our core business as well as our newly acquired shareholder communication business from PrecisionIR.
 
In Europe, we are focused on expanding new opportunities with the exchanges as well as the leading brokerage firms. We believe that the PrecisionIR business will allow us to explore new markets for our core disclosure business. Prior to the acquisition of PrecisionIR, the Company had no presence in Europe. It is our belief over the coming years; our infrastructure, partnerships and clients of the PrecisionIR business will enable us to bring to market our core Issuer Direct offerings, specifically our shareholder communications market data-cloud products and our disclosure reporting business. We intend to cross sell these services much like we will do in North America over the foreseeable future. However, this is a new market for us and there can be no assurances we will be successful in this endeavor. Such factors as the deep learning curve of regulatory markets, reporting and disclosure requirements could impact this initiative if we are not adequately prepared.

Overall, the demand for corporate services continues to be strong in the segments we serve.  In a portion of our business, we will continue to see demand shift from traditional printed materials to more of a hybrid or print-on-demand solution. We are positioned well in this space to be both competitive and agile to deliver these solutions to the market at the same or higher gross margins.
 
We expect to continue to focus on the following key strategic initiatives during 2014:
 
●  The final steps in integration between Issuer Direct and the global operations of PrecisionIR;
●  Profitable sustainable growth;
●  Continue to generate significant cash flows from operations;
●  Increase ARPI; and
●  Expand customer base.
 
We continue to believe there is significant demand for our products among the large, middle and small cap markets that are seeking to find better systems and tools to disseminate and communicate their respective messages.
 
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.
