Brian R. Balbirnie, Chief Executive Officer of Issuer Direct Corporation, commented, "We set out at the beginning of 2012 to deliver higher revenues, increased profits, and to increase our overall margins. We are pleased to report that we achieved all three of these objectives in fiscal 2012."

Wes Pollard, Chief Financial Officer, stated, "A majority of our 2012 revenue growth came from our compliance and reporting segment, which includes our cloud-based technology platform for XBRL reporting, and overall generates 70% gross margins. We have also considerably increased the number of clients for whom we perform cloud based XBRL reporting, both organically and through the acquisition. As most of our clients are now under annual contracts, we anticipate that revenue from cloud based XBRL reporting will be more recurring in nature in the future. With this said, we intend to also continue to increase revenue from these cloud solutions through new client acquisition. Our transfer agent segment, which delivers 68% gross margins, grew 41% this year; while our software license revenue, which generates 99% gross margins, increased 119%."

Business Outlook

Mr. Balbirnie further stated, "In fiscal 2013, we anticipate our disclosure reporting business which includes our cloud based XBRL solutions will continue to account for a significant portion of our growth. Furthermore, we will strive to continue achieving growth from our other revenue streams. We see 2013 as a pivotal year for continued revenue growth, margin improvement and overall profits. Our plan is to focus on both organic growth and also consider acquisitions of complementary businesses that fit our long term business strategy."
