PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS.

Company 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). We are a Delaware corporation formed in October 1988 under the name Docucon Incorporated. In December 2007, we changed our name to Issuer Direct Corporation. Our executive offices are located at 500 Perimeter Park Drive, Suite D, Morrisville, North Carolina, 27560.

Business

The Company strives to be a market leader and innovator of disclosure management solutions 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.

During the second quarter of 2011, the Company acquired the customers of Edgar Tech Filing Services. In January 2012, the Company also acquired the customers of SEC Compliance Services, Inc. Through both of these agreements, the Company was able to grow its client base by an additional 135 corporate issuers. Both of these transactions are explained in more detail in the Company’s Management Discussion and Analysis section of this filing.

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 be disruptive 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.

Disclosure Reporting

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 just recently ended this past 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 handful of 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 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 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 form one interface. As regulations continued to change and companies opt to print fewer and fewer 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 our client’s investor relations departments. 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.

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.

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 (formally SAS-70). 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:

·	Issue, manage and monitor all corporate stock of the company online

·	Issue physical certificates, book entry as well as DWAC FAST electronic participation

·	Print on Demand Digital Certificate Library

·	Communicate with shareholders with the click of a mouse with e-Notify

·	Setup, monitor and direct an annual meeting and proxy vote

·	Warrant, escrow and rights offerings

·	Corporate re-org services including CUSIP, FINRA and state filing needs

The Disclosure Management System also provides for several SaaS Solutions to both the corporate issuer and reseller community

Compliance Cloud (issuerservices.net)

This platform is our cloud-based compliance workflow technology platform utilized by the reporting community to track, manage, change and approve both disclosure reports and XBRL filings. We currently do not derive any revenues from this technology. Our revenues come purely from the professional services associated with this platform to the reseller community. Future versions will allow for real-time editing of interactive reports. We believe this feature will generate licensing revenues and access fees on a per filing basis.

XBRLCheck (XBRLCheck.com)

XBRLCheck is a secure, free interactive data previewer for the disclosure marketplace. We derive revenues from private branding or white labeling our data previewer for other filing agents or web platforms. Additionally our XBRLCheck system is part of the planned real-time editing of interactive reports.

Interactive Fund Platform (ifp.iFUNDdirect.com)

The IFP is a mutual fund material platform whereby users can search, view, print and request mutual fund and ETF reports. The IFP is a virtually a real-time search archive for todays mutual fund market. Additional the IFP, when combined with traditional Print on demand (POD) system acts as the material delivery system for several mutual funds today.

Section 16

Section 16 ownership disclosure (under Forms 3,4,5) was one of our first SaaS solutions created in 2008. Our platform automates the common tasks of ownership disclosure that each officer and director in today’s public companies are required to file yearly. We derive revenues on a per issuer (CIK) per year as well as a per filing basis as needed. This platform replaces older and cumbersome systems by allowing for LIVE filing by the agent completing the form. The technology allows for archiving of previously filed forms to be accessed, edited and filed as amendments or updated form in seconds.

Disclosure Data Feeds

During 2011, we expanded the individualized portions of our iR Direct system into separate datafeed services, such as SEC filings, Stock information and News releases. Our SEC datafeed includes access to all company filings in PDF, HTML, as well as our XBRL interactive data previewer. Companies current in their reporting are required to make available all their filings on their corporate website on the same day of filing. Our datafeed network constantly updates hundreds of issuer’s corporate websites with thousands of filings in a variety of formats. Datafeeds are licensed both as a stand along service or as a suite within the iR Direct system.

Our Strategy

Our strategy incorporates a blend of organic growth fostered by the selective pursuit of winning operational and financial strategies along with prudent acquisitions of systems and technologies that dovetail our corporate key strengths and initiatives. As the market begins to rebound, it is evident to us that issuers are seeking a single sourced, less complex way of reporting and staying compliant.

The premise of our disclosure management system (DMS) is to provide a comprehensive set of services that comprise an end-to-end solution, enabling us to be the service provider of choice to the small-and mid cap markets.

Our sales organization is focused not only on increasing the number of clients we serve, but also on increasing revenue per client by increasing the number of services each client utilizes. During fiscal 2012, we plan on focusing on our cloud-based disclosure management system to both corporate issuers and the reseller community.

We also will continue to develop disruptive technologies that will differentiate us in the market. We have become known as the leading single source provider of disclosure management solutions for public companies. Our commitment to quality, scalability and accuracy will continue in each new solution we bring to market. We intend on evaluating complimentary verticals and system that can dovetail uniquely and seamlessly into our current platforms.

Marketing and Sales

During 2011, we refined our organization, and we believe certain product service add-ons can be maintained and fostered by a newly created team we call our Issuer Services Group, which is dedicated to directly maintaining the client relationship while seeking to expand offerings and identify opportunities. We plan to continue to foster this services group approach for the foreseeable future as we believe this method of delivery will reduce overall delivery costs and drive higher customer satisfaction.

During fiscal 2012 we will continue to work on building our brand identity of Direct Transfer (our transfer agency), iFund Direct (our mutual fund regulatory portal fulfillment system), iProxy Direct (our proprietary proxy voting platform) and our new iR Direct system (our shareholder communications platform). These leading solutions depend upon our proprietary technologies and software that generally derives higher than average gross margins and over the long term will make up a good portion of revenue from each and every corporate issuer and fund we serve. Additionally we intend to see an increase in the services offerings related to financial reporting, specifically the new interactive data filing requirement referred to as XBRL.

We also work in partnership with other filing agents, transfer agents and virtual CFOs to provide services to their target clients under agreements and white label services.

During 2011, we updated our workflow solutions and portal technologies to corporate issuers and mutual funds markets. Authorized users of a corporate issuer or mutual fund/administrator can do the following with our workflow portal:

·	Create, monitor and approve regulatory filings

·	File LIVE ownership documents and other popular EDGAR forms

·	Monitor proxy/annual meeting votes in real-time

·	Create, manage and distribute news and other corporate information to markets and holders

·	Manage and communicate with shareholders

·	Monitor share activity and issue stock certificates

·	Manage more than one corporate issuer or fund family at the same time

We will continue to make investments in equipment, technology and facilities, as we mature our business from a service-oriented only business to more of a blended technology enabling service company. In all of our offerings, quality, turn-around times, accuracy, and scalability as well as the need to preserve the confidential content of our clients is of utmost importance and part of our core values.

Industry Overview

The business services industry as it relates to compliance and reporting is highly fragmented, with hundreds of independent service companies that provide a full range of financial reporting, document management services and with a wide range of printing and technology software providers. The demands for many of our services historically have been cyclical and reliant on capital market activity. During 2011 we spent a considerable amount of time growing several new service offerings beyond our traditional compliance reporting and transaction services, these new offerings will afford the Company the ability to even out our revenue seasonality and provide a new baseline of reoccurring quarterly revenues.

The financial print and reporting industry is highly fragmented and made up of dozens of service providers that provide a limited range of document management, financial reporting, and printing services. Printing services, specifically financial printing services in general are competitive and highly commoditized, with a tendency to produce slimmer margins than financial reporting and related shareholder disclosure services. Much of the industry is made up of small “mom and pop” shops that offer basic reporting conversion services. Beyond that, there are the dominant providers that offer a deeper breath and well rounded blend of products and services to the capital markets. We are one of the few companies in the industry that are focused on providing a complete solution of disclosure reporting and shareholder communication delivery, including proxy and transfer agency.

The largest financial printers generally gear their operations towards the largest publicly traded companies in the market, whereas we believe we have a greater ability to provide a complete solution to a broader audience in the medium and smaller-cap public markets.

Competition

The market for our services is highly competitive. We believe we offer a comprehensive set of solutions for our clients that few competitors, if any, can match. However, competition exists for each of the individual solutions we provide. Factors in this competition include speed, accuracy, price, customer service and the quality of supporting products and services.

We believe we are positioned to be the disclosure management provider of choice as a cost-effective alternative to both small regional providers and global providers. We believe we benefit from our location in North Carolina, as we do not experience significant competition for sales, customer service or production personnel.

Customers

As of December 31, 2011, our customers include a wide variety of issuers, mutual funds, law firms, brokerage firms, banks, individuals, and other institutions. We did not have any customers during the year ended December 31, 2011 that accounted for more than 10% of our revenue.

Cyclical, Seasonal and Other Factors Affecting our Business

A greater portion of our printing, distribution and solicitation of proxy materials business segments will be processed during our second fiscal quarter (calendar quarter). Therefore, the seasonality of our revenue makes it difficult to estimate future operating results based on the results of any specific quarter and could affect an investor’s ability to compare our financial condition and results of operations on a quarter-by-quarter basis. To balance the seasonal activity of print, distribution and solicitation of proxy materials, we will continue to grow our other revenue streams since they are linked to predictable periodic activity that is cyclical in nature.

Employees

As of December 31, 2011, we employed 22 full-time and two part-time employees as compared to 20 full-time employees and two part-time employees at December 31, 2010, none of which are represented by a union. In January 2012, we opened an office in San Leandro, CA and hired six employees. As of the date herein, our employees work between our corporate office in North Carolina, and our Florida, California, and Colorado operations.

Facilities

Our headquarters are located in Morrisville, North Carolina. We occupy 16,059 square feet of office space pursuant to a six-year lease, and we believe we have sufficient space to sustain our growth through 2016. Additionally, we maintain a presence in south Florida and in Colorado. In January 2012, we assumed a lease for 1,100 square feet of office space through October 2012 in San Leandro, CA.

Insurances

We maintain both a general business liability policy and an errors and omissions policy in excess of $5,000,000 specific to our industry and operations. We believe that our insurance policy provides adequate coverage for all reasonable risks associated with operating our business. During fiscal 2011, we also obtained a Directors and Officers insurance policy standard for our industry and size.

Regulations

The securities and financial services industries generally are subject to regulation in the United States and elsewhere. Regulatory policies in the United States and the rest of the world are tasked with safeguarding the integrity of the securities and financial markets with protecting the interests of both issuers and shareholders.

In the United States, issuers (public companies) are subject to regulation under both federal and state laws, which often require public information and notification filings. At the federal level, the Securities and Exchange Commission regulates the securities industry, along with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, or FINRA, formally known as NASD, and NYSE market regulations, various stock exchanges, and other self-regulatory organizations (“SRO”).

We operate our filing agent business and transfer agent business under the direct supervision and regulations of The Securities and Exchange Commission.

Our transfer agency business, Direct Transfer is subject to certain regulations governed by the SEC, including without limitation, with respect to registration with the SEC, annual reporting, examination, internal controls, tax reporting, escheatment services. Our transfer agency is approved to handle the securities of NYSE/AMX, NASDAQ and the Over the Counter listed securities.

Our mission is to assist corporate issuers with these regulations, communication and compliance of rules imposed by regulatory bodies. The majority of our business involves the distribution of content, either electronically or paper, to governing bodies and shareholders alike. We are licensed under these regulations to disseminate, communicate and or solicit on behalf of our clients, the issuers.

ITEM 1A RISK FACTORS.

Forward-Looking and Cautionary Statements

Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. Prospective investors should carefully consider the following risks and uncertainties and all other information contained or referred to in this Annual Report on Form 10-K before investing in our common stock. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties that we are unaware of, or that we currently deem immaterial, also may become important factors that affect us. If any of the following risks occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. In that case, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you could lose all of your investment.

Risks related to our business

Revenue from shareholder disclosure documents is subject to regulatory changes and volatility in demand, which could adversely affect our operating results.

We anticipate that our printing and financial communications services will continue to contribute to our operating results going forward. The market for these services depends in part on the demand for investor documents, which is driven largely by capital markets activity and the requirements of the SEC and other regulatory bodies. Any rulemaking substantially affecting the content of documents to be filed and the method of their delivery could have an adverse effect on our business. Our compliance and reporting services revenue may be adversely affected as clients implement technologies enabling them to produce and disseminate documents on their own.

The environment in which we compete is highly competitive, which creates adverse pricing pressures and may harm our business and operating results if we cannot compete effectively.

Competition in our businesses is intense. The speed and accuracy with which we can meet client needs, the price of our services and the quality of our products and supporting services are factors in this competition. In financial communications, we compete directly with several other service providers having similar degrees of specialization.

Our marketing and business communications unit faces diverse competition from a variety of companies including commercial printers, in-house print operations, direct marketing agencies, facilities management companies, software providers and other consultants. In commercial printing services, we compete with general commercial printers, which are far more numerous than those in the financial printing market.

These competitive pressures could reduce our revenue and earnings.

We do not have long-term service agreements in the transactional services business, which may make it difficult for us to achieve steady earnings growth on a quarterly basis and lead to adverse movements in the price of our common stock.

During 2011 the majority of our revenue in our financial communications segment was derived from individual projects rather than long-term service agreements. Therefore, we cannot assure you that a client will engage us for further services once a project is completed or that a client will not unilaterally reduce the scope of, or terminate, existing projects. The absence of long-term service agreements makes it difficult to predict our future revenue. As a result, our financial results may fluctuate from quarter to quarter based on the timing and scope of the engagement with our clients which could, in turn, lead to adverse movements in the price of our common stock or increased volatility in our stock price generally.

If we are unable to retain our key employees and attract and retain other qualified personnel, our business could suffer.

Our ability to grow and our future success will depend to a significant extent on the continued contributions of our key executives, managers and employees. In addition, many of our individual technical and sales personnel have extensive experience in our business operations and/or have valuable client relationships that would be difficult to replace. Their departure, if unexpected and unplanned for, could cause a disruption to our business. Our competition for these individuals is intense, especially in the markets in which we operate. We may not succeed in identifying, attracting and retaining these personnel. Further, competitors and other entities have in the past recruited and may in the future attempt to recruit our employees, particularly our sales personnel. The loss of the services of our key personnel, the inability to identify, attract and retain qualified personnel in the future or delays in hiring qualified personnel, particularly technical and sales personnel, could make it difficult for us to manage our business and meet key objectives, such as the timely introduction of new technology-based products and services, which could harm our business, financial condition and operating results.

If we fail to keep our clients’ information confidential or if we handle their information improperly, our business and reputation could be significantly and adversely affected.

We manage private and confidential information and documentation related to our clients’ finances and transactions, often prior to public dissemination. The use of insider information is highly regulated in the United States and abroad, and violations of securities laws and regulations may result in civil and criminal penalties. If we fail to keep our clients’ proprietary information and documentation confidential, we may lose existing clients and potential new clients and may expose them to significant loss of revenue based on the premature release of confidential information. We may also become subject to civil claims by our clients or other third parties or criminal investigations by appropriate authorities.

We must adapt to rapid changes in technology and client requirements to remain competitive.

The market and demand for our products and services, to a varying extent, have been characterized by:

·	technological change;

·	frequent product and service introductions; and

·	evolving client requirements.

We believe that these trends will continue into the foreseeable future. Our success will depend, in part, upon our ability to:

·	enhance our existing products and services;

·	successfully develop new products and services that meet increasing client requirements; and

·	gain market acceptance.

To achieve these goals, we will need to continue to make substantial investments in sales and marketing. We may not:

·	have sufficient resources to make these investments;

·	be successful in developing product and service enhancements or new products and services on a timely basis, if at all; or

·	be able to market successfully these enhancements and new products once developed.

Further, our products and services may be rendered obsolete or uncompetitive by new industry standards or changing technology.

Fluctuations in the costs of paper, ink, energy, and other raw materials may adversely impact us.

Our business is subject to risks associated with the cost and availability of paper, ink, other raw materials, and energy. Increases in the costs of these items may increase our costs, and we may not be able to pass these costs on to customers through higher prices. Increases in the costs of materials may adversely impact our customers’ demand for printing and related services. A severe paper or multi-market energy shortage could have an adverse effect upon many of our operations. Our business strategy in 2011 will be to monitor trends in the market and make advance purchases of such raw materials as paper in quantities greater than our traditional just-in-time needs. By doing so, we believe we will be able to stabilize overall margins in our print segments due to pricing pressures and competitiveness.

Our business could be harmed if we do not successfully manage the integration of businesses that we may acquire.

As part of our business strategy, we have as we did in 2011 and may continue to acquire other businesses that complement our core capabilities. The benefits of an acquisition may often take considerable time to develop and may not be realized. Acquisitions involve a number of risks, including:

·	the difficulty of integrating the operations and personnel of the acquired businesses into our ongoing operations;

·	the potential disruption of our ongoing business and distraction of management;

·	the difficulty in incorporating acquired technology and rights into our products and technology;

·	unanticipated expenses and delays relating to completing acquired development projects and technology integration;

·	a potential increase in our indebtedness and contingent liabilities, which could restrict our ability to access additional capital when needed or to pursue other important elements of our business strategy;

·	the management of geographically remote units;

·	the establishment and maintenance of uniform standards, controls, procedures and policies;

·	the impairment of relationships with employees and clients as a result of any integration of new management personnel;

·	risks of entering markets or types of businesses in which we have either limited or no direct experience;

·	the potential loss of key employees or clients of the acquired businesses; and

·	potential unknown liabilities, such as liability for hazardous substances, or other difficulties associated with acquired businesses.

We have incurred losses in the past and have an accumulated deficit.

Although we achieved positive cash flow in both fiscal 2011 and fiscal 2010, as of December 31, 2011 we have an accumulated deficit of $531,891. We expect to continue to generate positive cash flow during 2012 and further decrease our accumulated deficit. However should we acquire new businesses through acquisition there can be no assurances we will achieve similar positive cash flows, and even if we do, we may not be able to sustain.

Our business may be affected by factors outside of our control.

Our ability to increase sales and to profitably deliver and sell our service offerings is subject to a number of risks, including changes to the regulatory filing and distribution of proxy materials, competitive risks such as the entrance of additional competitors into our market, pricing and competition and risks associated with the marketing of new services in order to remain competitive.

If potential customers take a long time to evaluate the use of our services, we could incur additional selling expenses and require additional working capital.

The acceptance of our services depends on a number of factors, including the nature and size of the potential customer base, the effectiveness of our system, and the extent of the commitment being made by the potential customer, and is difficult to predict. If potential customers take longer than we expect to decide whether to use our services, our selling expenses could increase, and we may need to raise additional capital sooner than we would otherwise need to.

The seasonality of business makes it difficult to predict future results based on specific fiscal quarters.

A greater portion of our printing, distribution and solicitation of proxy materials business will be processed during our second fiscal quarter. Therefore, the seasonality of our revenue makes it difficult to estimate future operating results based on the results of any specific quarter and could affect an investor’s ability to compare our financial condition and results of operations on a quarter-by-quarter basis. To balance the seasonal activity of print, distribution and solicitation of proxy materials, we will continue to grow our other revenue streams since they are linked to predictable periodic activity that is cyclical in nature.

Risks Related to Our common stock; Liquidity Risks

The price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly, which could lead to losses for stockholders.

The stock prices of public companies can experience extreme price and volume fluctuations. These fluctuations often have been unrelated or out of proportion to the operating performance of such companies. We expect our stock price to be similarly volatile. These broad market fluctuations may continue and could harm our stock price. Any negative change in the public’s perception of our prospects or companies in our market could also depress our stock price, regardless of our actual results. Factors affecting the trading price of our common stock may include:

·	variations in operating results;

·	announcements of strategic alliances or significant agreements by the Company or by competitors;

·	recruitment or departure of key personnel;

·	litigation, legislation, regulation of all or part of our business; and

·	changes in the estimates of operating results or changes in recommendations by any securities analyst that elect to follow our common stock.

You may lose your investment in the shares.

An investment in the shares involves a high degree of risk. An investment in shares of our common stock is suitable only for investors who can bear a loss of their entire investment. We have never paid cash dividends on our common stock. Although we anticipate retaining the majority of our earnings for use in our business, we may elect to pay dividends in the future. There can be no assurances that dividends will be paid or even if they will be distributed quarterly, yearly or in the form of cash or stock.

We currently have authorized but unissued “black check” preferred stock. Without the vote of our shareholders, the Board of Directors may issue such preferred stock with both economic and voting rights and preferences senior to those of the holders of our common stock. Any such issuances may negatively impact the ultimate benefits to the holders of our common stock in the event of a liquidation event and may have the effect of preventing a change of control and could dilute the voting power of our common stock and reduce the market price of our common stock.

Since March 20, 2008, our common stock has been listed on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board market currently operated by FINRA, under the symbol “ISDR”. There has been little or no trading of our common stock and no assurance can be given, when, if ever, an active trading market will develop or, if developed, that it will be sustained. As a result, investors may be unable to sell their shares of our common stock.

Broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in “penny stocks” are regulated by certain rules adopted by the SEC. Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00, subject to exceptions. The rules require that a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, deliver a standardized risk disclosure document that provides information about penny stocks and the risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in connection with the transaction and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. In addition, the rules generally require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the liquidity of penny stocks. Our common stock is subject to the penny stock rules, and investors acquiring shares of our common stock may find it difficult to sell their shares of our common stock.

ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS.

None.

ITEM 2. PROPERTY.

Our headquarters are located in Morrisville, North Carolina. We occupy 16,059 square feet of office space pursuant to a six-year lease, and we believe we have sufficient space to sustain our growth through 2016. Additionally, we have staff in Florida, California, and Colorado, and paper storage facilities in Durham, NC. In January 2012, we assumed a lease for 1,100 square feet of office space through October 2012 in San Leandro, CA and hired staff in California.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

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. This accrual includes all legal and settlement cost incurred in 2012 to resolve this matter.

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS.

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 in this Form 10-K 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 will be proportionately reduced.

The quotations provided herein may reflect inter-dealer prices without retail mark-up, markdown, or commissions, and may not represent actual transactions.

Our common stock trades on the OTC Bulletin Board currently operated by FINRA, under the symbol ISDR. Until March 20, 2008, our common stock was traded on the Pink sheets under the same symbol. Historically and currently, our common stock was and is classified as a penny stock.

As such, it may be difficult to trade the stock because compliance with the regulations can delay and/or preclude certain trading transactions. Broker-dealers may be discouraged from effecting transactions in our stock because of the sales practice and disclosure requirements for penny stock. This could adversely affect the liquidity and/or price of our common stock, and impede the sale of the stock.

Holders of Record

As of December 31, 2011, there were approximately 152 holders of record of our common stock and 1,752,175 shares outstanding.

Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

In November 2010, our Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase plan, whereby the Company was authorized to repurchase up to 100,000 shares of the Company’s common stock over a twelve month period, but not to exceed an aggregate purchase price of $10,000 in cash every fiscal quarter for a maximum of four quarters or until the board causes action to modify or terminate the repurchase plan.

Common stock repurchases under our authorized plan in 2011 and 2010 were as follows:

Period	Total Number of Shares Repurchased		Average Price Paid per Share		Total Number of Shares Purchased as Part of Publically Announced Plan		Approximate Dollar Value that May Yet Be Purchased Under the Plan
Year ended December 31, 2010		5,000	$	1.70		5,000	$	31,500

Total		21,356	$	2.11		21,356	$	0

Dividends

We have never paid cash dividends on our common stock. Although we anticipate retaining the majority of our earnings for use in our business, we may elect to pay dividends in the future. There can be no assurances that dividends will be paid or even if they will be distributed quarterly, yearly or in the form of cash or stock.

2011 Overview

For the year ended December 31, 2011, total revenue decreased 16% to $3,228,099 from $3,860,513 in fiscal 2010. The decrease in revenue is primarily the result of a large print and fulfillment project that was executed in the second quarter of 2010 that accounted for 48% of our revenue in fiscal 2010. Comparatively, we did not have a similar project in fiscal 2011. In fact, no customer in fiscal 2011 accounted for more than 10% of our revenue. In fiscal 2011, revenue from compliance and reporting services increased by $1,037,152 to $1,632,889 in fiscal 2011 from $595,737 in fiscal 2010, which helped offset the decrease in print and fulfillment revenue. The increase in compliance and reporting services is a direct result of the final phase of the SEC’s three-year mandate for companies to begin filing quarterly and annual reports in XBRL format. Furthermore, we achieve significantly high margins from these services, which allowed us to increase our gross margin to $1,836,132 during fiscal 2011 as compared to $1,351,097 in fiscal 2011, even with lower revenue in fiscal 2011.

For the year ended December 31, 2011, operating expenses increased to $1,587,767 as compared to $1,123,193 in fiscal 2011. A significant portion of the increase is due to $206,263 of litigation expenses incurred to defend the Company against and ultimately settle a dispute with a former shareholder. This dispute has been fully resolved as of the date of this filing, and all related expenses were accrued at December 31, 2011. Therefore, we do not anticipate further litigation expenses in 2012. The remainder of the increase in operating expenses is largely due to increases in facilities costs and personnel cost as we expanded our infrastructure to provide us with greater flexibility and capacity to meet the needs of our customers, which will lead to additional revenue opportunities. We anticipate that our current infrastructure is adequate to support our needs for the foreseeable future, and do not anticipate a significant increases in general and administrative expenses in 2012. However, sales and marketing expenses may increase as we strive to increase revenue.

Our net income before taxes in fiscal 2011 increased to $261,076 compared to $208,606 in fiscal 2010. In fiscal 2010, we recognized an income tax benefit in the amount of $220,800 based on our projections for future profitability. In fiscal 2011, we fully utilized our remaining net operating loss carryforwards, and therefore recorded income tax expense of $21,800. Therefore, net income was $239,276 in fiscal 2011 as compared to $429,406 in fiscal 2010.

In January 2012, we purchased certain assets from SEC Compliance Services, Inc., which primarily consisted of customer contracts for annual XBRL services. We anticipate that XBRL services will continue account for a significant portion of our growth. We will continue to focus on both organic growth and consider inorganic acquisitions of complementary businesses that fit our business.

Revenues

Total revenue decreased by $632,414, or 16%, during the year ended December 31, 2011 as compared to fiscal 2010. The overall decrease in revenue is primarily due to a decrease in printing and financial communication revenue of $963,325 and a decrease in fulfillment and distribution revenue of $553,338 during the year ended December 31, 2011 as compared to fiscal 2010. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in compliance and reporting services revenue of $1,037,152 during the year ended December 31, 2011 as compared to fiscal 2010. In 2012, we anticipate that revenue from compliance and reporting services will continue to increase, both through new client acquisition, and from customers acquired from SEC Compliance Services, Inc. in January 2012. We may also consider other strategic partnerships and acquisitions to grow this revenue source.

Compliance and reporting service revenue increased $1,037,152, or 174% during the year ended December 31, 2011 as compared to 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 file quarterly and annual reports in XBRL format for all periods ended after June 15, 2011. Therefore, during fiscal 2011, we began delivering initial XBRL tagging services and quarterly filings in XBRL format, 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. Furthermore, effective for all periods ended after June 15, 2012, small reporting companies will be required to add detail footnote tagging to their quarterly and annual filings, which will lead to additional revenue opportunities.

Printing and financial communication revenue decreased $963,325, or 64%, in the year ended December 31, 2011 as compared to 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 $553,338, or 46%, in the year ended December 31, 2011 as compared to 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. However, we gained momentum and revenue from our iFund and Print-On-Demand services during the year ended December 31, 2011. We anticipate that these services will provide continued revenue opportunities in 2012.

Software licensing decreased by $37,912, or 31%, during the year ended December 31, 2011 as compared to 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 fiscal 2011, and was slightly offset by the increases in services through our iProxyDirect software. 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 decreased by $114,991, or 26%, during the year ended December 31, 2011 as compared to fiscal 2010. Although the number of transfer agent clients continued to grow during fiscal 2011 as compared to the previous period, we did not experience as many corporate actions type engagements. Historically, corporate action services are tied to a transaction that results in a project-based engagement, and 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.

2011 Revenue Backlog

At December 31, 2011, we have recorded deferred revenue of $177,708 that we expect to recognize throughout 2012. The majority of the deferred revenues recorded are being carried forward from 2011, which is a direct result of our reseller relationships with the issuer services cloud-based system.

Furthermore, we are currently performing XBRL services for over 240 corporate issuers under annual contracts. In the latter half of fiscal 2012, the majority of our annual contracts for XBRL will renew, providing for significant revenues in the last half of 2012 and beyond. Assuming these issuers renew their annual contracts, the contract value is estimated at $2,000,000, although a portion of that may be recognized in 2013 .

Cost of Services

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 $1,117,449, or 46%, in the year ended December 31, 2011 as compared to fiscal 2010. The decrease in cost of revenues is due primarily to the large print and fulfillment job during the second quarter of 2010 previously discussed. However, overall gross margins increased to 1,836,132, or 57% of revenue, during fiscal 2011 as compared to $1,351,097, or 35% of revenue, during fiscal 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 lower in fiscal 2011 as compared to fiscal 2010 as previously discussed, we achieved higher gross margins during the same period due to the shift to higher margin revenue sources, such as compliance and regulatory services which includes our XBRL services, in fiscal 2011. We believe that the margins achieved in fiscal 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. Furthermore, we achieved margins of 61% from our compliance and regulatory services during fiscal 2011, primarily due to our XBRL service offerings. We have been able to achieve relatively high margins from our XBRL services, and will continue to look for opportunities to expand and improve margins from 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.

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.

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 $222,986 during fiscal 2011 as compared to fiscal 2010. The increase during fiscal 2011 is primarily due to an increase in facilities costs of $90,052, an increase in personnel expenses of $88,330, and an increase in bad debt expense of $69,803. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in accounting fees of $28,900.

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 primarily due to annual merit increases and the implementation of health insurance for employees. The increase in bad debt expense is consistent with an overall increase in accounts receivable at December 31, 2011 as compared to December 31, 2010.

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 fiscal 2011increased $23,793 as compared to fiscal 2010. The increases are primarily due to increases in personnel cost as we have hired two additional salespeople. We anticipate that sales and marketing expense will increase in 2012, as we have opened an office in San Leandro, CA and hired five former salespeople from SEC Compliance Services, Inc.

Impairment Charges

During the year ended December 31, 2010 we recorded impairment charges of $4,000 related to the myedgar.com domain name which we no longer use. There were no such charges in fiscal 2011.

Litigation Expenses

Litigation expenses of $206,263 were incurred during the year ended December 31, 2011 to defend the Company against and ultimately settle a dispute with a former shareholder. This dispute has been fully resolved as of the date of this filing, and all related expenses were accrued at December 31, 2011. Therefore, we do not anticipate further litigation expenses in 2012.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expenses during fiscal 2011 increased $15,532 as compared to fiscal 2010. The increase in fiscal 2011 is primarily due to depreciation on new equipment and improvements for our new headquarters.

Other Income (Expense)

Other income (expense) of $12,711 during fiscal 2011consisted primarily of finance charges to customers with past due balances that we are reasonably assured that we will collect. Other income (expense) during fiscal 2010 of ($19,298) includes 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 Taxes

At December 31, 2009, we had fully reserved our deferred income tax assets primarily resulting from net operating loss carryforwards. However, at December 31, 2010, we elected to only partially reserve our deferred tax assets based on our estimated profitability for the next two years. Therefore, the reduction of our full valuation allowance on our deferred tax asset resulted in an income tax benefit of $220,800 for the year ended December 31, 2010. During the year ended December 31, 2011, we utilized our remaining net operating loss carryforwards, and recorded income tax expense of $21,800 attributable to income in excess of the loss carryforwards.

Net Income

Net income during fiscal 2011 was $239,276 as compared to $429,406 during fiscal 2010. Although revenue was lower in fiscal 2011 as discussed previously, our gross profits increased $485,035 to $1,836,132 in fiscal 2011 as compared to $1,351,097 in fiscal 2010. The increases in gross profits were partially offset by increases in general and administrative expenses and litigation expenses previously discussed, resulting in an increase in net income before taxes of $52,470 to $261,076 in fiscal 2011 as compared to $208,606 in fiscal 2010. However, as previously discussed, we recorded income tax expense of $21,800 in fiscal 2011 as compared to an income tax benefit of $220,800 in 2010, and therefore net income was lower in fiscal 2011 as compared to fiscal 2010.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We generated $478,158 in cash from our operating activities during fiscal 2011, as compared to $446,297 in fiscal 2010. In fiscal 2011, our net cash used in investing activities increased to $83,940 as compared to $48,127 in fiscal 2010, primarily due to the acquisition of a customer list for $40,000 during fiscal 2011.

As of December 31, 2011, we had $862,386 in cash and cash equivalents and $361,191 of net accounts receivable. Current liabilities for the period ended December 31, 2011, totaled $450,598, including accrued payroll liabilities; accounts payable, accrued expenses, accrued litigation, and deferred revenue. At December 31, 2011, our total assets exceeded our total liabilities by $1,211,605.

At December 31, 2011, we had $450,000 available to us under a line of credit with a bank. In January 2012, we borrowed $270,000 under the line of credit to partially finance the purchase of certain assets from SEC Compliance Services, Inc.

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 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.

Disclosure about Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any transactions, agreements or other contractual arrangements that constitute off-balance sheet arrangements.

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 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.

Plan of Operation

The following plan of operations provides information, which our management believes, is relevant to an assessment and understanding of our business, operations and financial condition. The discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements as of and for the periods ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the notes thereto which are included in this Annual Report. This plan of operation contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions.

Our actual results may differ substantially from those anticipated in any forward-looking statements included in this discussion as a result of various factors, including those set forth in “Risk Factors” contained elsewhere in this Annual Report.

In fiscal 2012, we will continue to focus on expanding our existing customer relationships as well as acquiring new customers. With our acquisition of SEC Compliance Services in January 2012, we increased the number of corporate issuer for whom we perform services to almost 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 significant growth in our XBRL revenue as enter into new annual contracts with issuers that includes 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 see increases in revenue from each of our other service offerings.

However, we do anticipate increases in our operating expenses to support the customers acquired from SEC Compliance Services, much of which will be incurred in the first half of the year. 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. We will continue to evaluate strategic partnerships and or acquisitions as opportunities arise.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

We prepare our financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Our significant accounting policies are disclosed in the notes to the Financial Statements. The selection and application of these accounting principles and methods requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, as well as certain financial statement disclosures. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to the recognition of revenue, allowance for doubtful accounts, valuation of goodwill and other intangible assets, income tax provision and deferred taxes, restructuring costs, actuarial assumptions for employee benefit plans, and contingent liabilities related to litigation and other claims and assessments. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. While management believes that the estimates and assumptions we use in preparing the financial statements are appropriate, these estimates and assumptions are subject to a number of factors and uncertainties regarding their ultimate outcome, and therefore, actual results could differ from these estimates.

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 will be proportionately reduced.

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 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 provide an allowance for doubtful accounts, which is based upon a review of outstanding receivables as well as historical collection information. Credit is granted on an unsecured basis. In determining the amount of the allowance, management is required to make certain estimates and assumptions. The allowance is made up of specific reserves, as deemed necessary, on client account balances, and a reserve based on our historical experience. The following is a summary of our allowance for doubtful accounts during the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010:

	Year Ended December 31, 2011			Year Ended December 31, 2010
Beginning balance	$	56,024		$	16,785
Bad Debt Expense		121,949			51,446
Write-offs		(52,986	)		(12,207	)
Ending Balance	$	125,987		$	56,024

Income Taxes

We comply with FASB ASC No. 740 – Income Taxes (formerly SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for 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.

Impairment of Long-lived Assets

In accordance with FASB ASC No. 360 – Property Plant and Equipment (formerly SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets"), long-lived assets, such as property and equipment, and intangible assets subject to amortization, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset group may not be recoverable. Recoverability of asset groups to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset group to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset group. If the carrying amount of an asset group exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of an asset group exceeds fair value of the asset group. Goodwill is tested for impairment annually or whenever events indicate that the asset may be impaired.

Fair Value Measurements

As of December 31, 2011 and 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 the first quarter of 2009. Our assets and liabilities that are subject to these provisions during the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 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.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update, Testing Goodwill for Impairment (the “Revised Standard”). The Revised Standard is intended to reduce the cost and complexity of the annual goodwill impairment test by providing entities an option to perform a “qualitative” assessment to determine whether further impairment testing is necessary. The Revised Standard is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. Entities considering early adoption should begin assessing relevant factors for the qualitative assessment. An entity has the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the current two-step test. If an entity believes, as a result of its qualitative assessment, that it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the quantitative impairment test is required. Otherwise, no further testing is required. We are currently evaluating the early adoption option. We do not expect the adoption or early adoption of this update to have an impact on our consolidated results of operations and financial condition.

In June 2011, the FASB issued an update to Presentation of Comprehensive Income, that requires an entity to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. The guidance eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of equity. The guidance is effective for us in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013. We do not expect the adoption of this update to have a material impact on our consolidated results of operations and financial condition.

ITEM 9A(T). CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Management’s annual report regarding internal disclosure controls and procedures. Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act. Internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements for external purposes, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The effectiveness of any system of internal control over financial reporting is subject to inherent limitations and therefore, may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness of future periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate due to change in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Based on an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("Exchange Act") were effective as of December 31, 2011 to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports that are filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Inherent Limitations over Internal Controls

Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that: (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and disposition of our assets; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, do not expect that our internal controls will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of internal controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. Also, any evaluation of the effectiveness of controls in future periods are subject to the risk that those internal controls may become inadequate because of changes in business conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Report of Management's Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). Management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria set forth in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations ("COSO"). Based on this evaluation, management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2011.

There were no changes in our internal controls that could materially affect the disclosure controls and procedures subsequent to the date of their evaluation, nor were there any material deficiencies or material weaknesses in our internal controls. As a result, no corrective actions were required or undertaken.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders

Issuer Direct Corporation

Morrisville, North Carolina

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Issuer Direct Corporation and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2011. The Company’s management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Issuer Direct Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2011, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

ISSUER DIRECT CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2011 AND 2010

Note 1: Description, Background and Basis of Operations

Nature of Operations

Issuer Direct Corporation (the “Company” or “Issuer Direct”) was incorporated in the state of Delaware in October 1988 under the name Docucon Inc. Subsequent to the December 13, 2007 merger with My EDGAR, Inc., the Company changed its name to Issuer Direct Corporation. The transaction has been accounted for as a reverse merger. My EDGAR was the acquiring entity for accounting purposes. While the transaction was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting, in substance the transaction was a recapitalization of My EDGAR’s capital structure.

The surviving company was formed for the purposes of helping companies produce and distribute their financial and business communications both online and in print. As an issuer services focused company, Issuer Direct Corporation operates under several brands in the market, including Direct Transfer, iProxy Direct, iFund Direct, iR Direct, QX Interactive, and Issuer Services Group. The Company leverages its 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.

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

Cash and Cash Equivalents

We consider all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates fair value.

The Company places its cash and cash equivalents on deposit with financial institutions in the United States. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) covers $250,000 for substantially all depository accounts and temporarily provides unlimited coverage through December 31, 2012 for certain qualifying and participating non-interest bearing transaction accounts. The Company from time to time may have amounts on deposit in excess of the insured limits. As of December 31, 2011, the Company had $202,936 which exceeds these insured amounts.

Revenue Recognition

Deferred Costs

F-7

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is recorded at cost and depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the assets using principally the straight-line method. When items are retired or otherwise disposed of, income is charged or credited for the difference between net book value and proceeds realized thereon. Ordinary maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred, and replacements and betterments are capitalized. The range of estimated useful lives used to calculate depreciation for principal items of property and equipment are as follow:

Asset Category		Depreciation / Amortization Period
Furniture, fixtures and equipment		3 to 5 years
Computer equipment and purchased software		3 years
Machinery and equipment		3 to 5 years
Leasehold Improvements		7 years

Earnings per Share

We calculate earnings per share in accordance with the authoritative guidance for 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 common equivalent shares, such as convertible preferred stock, outstanding during the period. Common shares of 25,832 issuable upon the potential conversion of the Company’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock were included in the computation of diluted earnings per common share for the year ended December 31, 2010. There were no shares of Series A preferred stock outstanding during the year ended December 31, 2011. Shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options totaling 130,000 were included in the computation of diluted earnings per common share during the year ended December 31, 2011. Shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options totaling 100,000 were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per common share during the year ended December 31, 2010 as the impact was anti-dilutive.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

	Year Ended December 31, 2011			Year Ended December 31, 2010
Beginning balance	$	56,024		$	16,785
Bad Debt Expense		121,949			51,446
Write-offs		(51,986	)		(12,207	)
Ending Balance	$	125,987		$	56,024

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. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

F-8

Income Taxes

Impairment of Long-lived Assets

In accordance with FASB ASC No. 360 – Property Plant and Equipment, long-lived assets, such as property and equipment, and intangible assets subject to amortization, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset group may not be recoverable. Recoverability of asset groups to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset group to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset group. If the carrying amount of an asset group exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of an asset group exceeds fair value of the asset group. Goodwill is tested for impairment annually or whenever events indicate that the asset may be impaired.

Fair Value Measurements

As of December 31, 2011 and 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 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.

F-10

Goodwill

At December 31, 2011 and 2010, our recorded goodwill totaled $43,195, which was solely related to our acquisition of Basset Press in July 2007. We conducted our 2011 annual impairment analysis during the third quarter of 2011 and determined that our goodwill was not impaired.

Intangible Assets

In July 2007, as part of the Basset Press acquisition, we acquired $105,000 of identifiable intangible assets including $30,000 for customer lists, $25,000 for non-contractual customer relationships, and $50,000 for proprietary software or intellectual property. Customer lists and relationships are subject to amortization and have estimated useful lives of five years. At the date of the acquisition and through the year ended December 31, 2008, we assigned an indefinite life to the proprietary software and included such software in our annual evaluation of impairment. During the first quarter of 2009, we reevaluated the useful life of the propriety software and have assigned a remaining estimated useful life of six years to such asset. 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.

We conducted our 2010 annual impairment analysis during the third quarter of 2010 and determined that the total amount of intangible assets recorded related to our My Edgar domain was impaired, as we were no longer using the domain name. Accordingly, we recorded an impairment charge of $4,000, representing the remaining unamortized balance, during the year ended December 31, 2010. We conducted our 2011 annual impairment analysis during the third quarter of 2011 and determined that no intangible assets were impaired.

The amortization of intangible assets is a charge to operating expenses and totaled $24,000 and $23,333 in 2011 and 2010, respectively.

The future amortization of the identifiable intangible assets is as follows:

Years Ending December 31:
2012	$	21,833
2013		16,333
2014		16,334
2015		8,000
2016		3,334
Total	$	65,834

Note 5: Notes payable – Related Party

There were no related party notes payable outstanding at December 31, 2011 or 2010. During the year ended December 31, 2010, we converted three unsecured related party notes payable totaling $73,525 into stock of the company as follows:

At December 31, 2009, a Note Payable to our Chief Executive Officer in the amount of $23,525 was outstanding for various obligations the former company was party to, including former legal counsel, former transfer agent services, and tax obligations with the state of Delaware. The unsecured note carried interest in the amount of 8% per annum and was due on December 31, 2008. The note was in default at December 31, 2009. The note and accrued interest was converted into 26 shares of Series A preferred stock during the year ended December 31, 2010.

At December 31, 2009, two Unsecured Notes Payable to two prior Directors of the Company totaling $50,000 were outstanding, with interest of 8%, due on receipt by the Company or its designated escrow agent of an aggregate of $1,000,000 in gross proceeds of a Private Placement. The notes and accrued interest were converted into 45,897 shares of common stock during the year ended December 31, 2010.

F-11

Note 6: Line of Credit

On December 16, 2011, the Company renewed their working capital line of credit (the “Line of Credit”), and increased the amount available from $200,000 to $450,000. The Line of Credit has an interest rate equal to the 30 day LIBOR rate plus 4.5%. The Line of Credit has a twelve month term, and automatically renews on the anniversary. No amounts were outstanding on the Line of Credit as of December 31, 2011 and 2010.

Note 7: Preferred stock and common stock

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 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 will be proportionately reduced.

As of December 31, 2009, there were five shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding, each of which are convertible into 833 shares of our common stock. On March 31, 2010, we issued 26 shares of Series A Preferred Stock to our Chief Executive Officer for the conversion of a note payable in the amount of $23,525 and accrued interest of $4,255. The fair value of the preferred stock on the date of the transaction was $39,000, which was determined based upon the number of common shares issuable upon conversion of the preferred shares into common stock, 21,666, and the market price of our common stock on the date of the agreement of $1.80. The difference between the carrying value of the debt and accrued interest and the fair value of the preferred shares of $11,220 has been recorded as additional interest expense. In April 2009, we issued 2,000 common shares to the holder of two preferred shares, for a value of $100 per preferred share, in settlement of the stated value and any potential claims to accumulated dividends thereon. Although the Certificate of Designation of the rights, preferences and limitations of the Preferred Stock provides for dividends equal to eleven percent (11.0%) per year on the liquidation preference of $25,000 per share, we have not declared or accrued such dividends. Additionally, under Delaware law, dividends are an obligation only when declared, and the Board has not declared any dividends payable on the Series A Preferred Stock. In November 2010, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer who held 83.9% of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock approved an amendment to the Certificate of Designation whereby the holders of at least 56 2/3rds of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock may elect to require the Company to redeem all of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock for $1,000 per share. In November 2010, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer who held 83.9% of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock elected to require the Company to redeem the remaining 31 shares of Series A Preferred Stock in exchange for proceeds of $31,000, and therefore there were no shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding at December 31, 2011 and 2010.

The Certificate of Designation of the rights, preferences and limitations of the Company’s Series B Non-Convertible, Cumulative, Non-Voting, Redeemable Preferred Stock provides that the Company may issue up to 476,200 shares of Series B Non-Convertible, Cumulative, Non-Voting, Redeemable Preferred Stock, par value $1.00 per share, which shall earn dividends at the rate of fifteen percent (15.0%) per year. Declaration and payment of dividends are at the sole discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors, and are not mandatory. The Certificate of Designation of the rights, preferences and limitations of the Company’s Series B Non-Convertible, Cumulative, Non-Voting, Redeemable Preferred Stock also provides that the Company may not pay dividends on its common stock until all accrued but unpaid dividends on such preferred stock have been paid. At December 31, 2011 and 2010, there were no issued and outstanding shares of such preferred stock.

The Company has never declared or paid any cash dividends on its common stock.

In November 2010, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase plan (the “Repurchase Plan”), whereby the Company was authorized to repurchase up to 100,000 shares of the Company’s common stock over a twelve month period, but not to exceed an aggregate purchase price of $10,000 in cash every fiscal quarter for a maximum of four quarters or until the board causes action to modify or terminate the Repurchase Plan. Anything beyond these amounts would require additional consent from the Board of Directors. During the term of the Repurchase Plan, the Company repurchased 21,287 shares of common stock.

Note 8: Employee Stock Options

On August 9, 2010, the shareholders of the Company approved the 2010 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). Under the terms of the Plan, 150,000 shares of the Company’s common stock are authorized for the issuance of stock options and restricted stock. The Plan also provides for an annual increase in the number of authorized shares of common stock issuable beginning in fiscal 2011 equal to the lesser of (a) 2% of shares outstanding on the last day of the immediate preceding fiscal year, (b) 50,000 shares, or (c) such lesser number of shares as the Company’s board of directors shall determine, provided, however, in no event shall the maximum number of shares that may be issued under the Plan pursuant to stock awards be greater than 15% of the aggregate shares outstanding on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year. With the automatic increases, there were 185,371 shares of common stock authorized under the Plan at December 31, 2011, which increased to 220,416 shares of common stock on January 1, 2012.

Note 10: Concentrations

For the years ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, we generated revenues from the following revenue streams as a percentage of total revenue:

	2011					2010
	Amount		Percentage			Amount		Percentage
Revenue Streams
Document conversion	$	1,632,889		50.6	%	$	595,737		15.4	%
Printing and financial communication		536,912		16.6	%		1,500,237		38.9	%

Total	$	3,228,099		100.0	%	$	3,860,513		100.0	%

We did not have any customers during the year ended December 31, 2011 that accounted for more than 10% of our revenue. During 2010, revenue generated from one customer comprised 47.7% of our total annual revenues. We did not have any customers that comprised more than 10% of our total accounts receivable balances at December 31, 2011 or 2010.

We believe we do not have any financial instruments that could have potentially subjected us to significant concentrations of credit risk. Since a portion of the revenues are paid at the beginning of the month via credit card or advance by check, the remaining accounts receivable amounts are generally due within 30 days, none of which is collateralized.

Note 11: Income Taxes

At December 31, 2011 and 2010, we had a Federal net operating loss carry forward of approximately $6,000 and $564,000, respectively. These loss carry forwards are available to reduce future taxable income and will expire through 2030 if not utilized.

The provision (benefit) for income taxes consisted of the following components for the years ended December 31:

	2011			2010
Current:	$	—		$	—

The valuation allowance for deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 was $0 and $102,200, respectively. In assessing the recovery of the deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income in the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversals of future deferred tax assets, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. At December 31, 2010, management elected to only partially reserve the Company’s deferred tax asset. However, at December 31, 2011, management determined that no valuation allowance was needed based on anticipated future profitability.

The Company has reviewed its tax positions and has determined that it has no significant uncertain positions as of December 31, 2011 or 2010.
