Note 1. Accounting Policies |
Basis of Presentation
The unaudited interim balance sheet as of September 30, 2009 and statement of operations and cash flows for the periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 included herein, have been prepared in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and Article 10 of Regulation S-X under the Exchange Act. In the opinion of the management, they include all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements. Results of operations reported for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire year. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations relating to interim financial statements. The interim financial information should be read in conjunction with Issuer Direct Corporation's (the Company's) 2008 audited financial statements filed on Form 10-K.
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts to conform to the current period presentation. All reclassifications have been applied consistently for the periods presented.
Going Concern
Since inception and through December 31, 2008, we have incurred losses and at September 30, 2009, we have an accumulated deficit of $1,124,511, which raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We have funded our operations and marketing efforts since inception through the issuance of debt and equity securities. Should we require additional funds and if we are unable to acquire such funds, our ability to continue as a going concern will be severely impacted. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. |
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
Earnings per Share
Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted-average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity. Diluted income per share for the nine months ending September 30, 2009, gives effect to the weighted average of 3,261 common shares issuable during the period assuming conversion of the Company's shares of preferred stock (556 common shares for each of the preferred shares that were outstanding during the period). In April 2009, two of the Company's shares of preferred stock were retired in return for the issuance of 20,000 common shares and as result, the dilutive effect of these preferred shares in included for only a portion of the nine month period. As the fully diluted loss per share for the quarter ending September 30, 2009 and for each of the 2008 periods was anti-dilutive, no effect was given to the preferred shares for the respective periods.
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 to most customers on an unsecured basis. In determining the amount of the allowance, management is required to make certain estimates and assumptions. During the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2009, we recorded bad debt expense totaling $2,717 and $29,680, and permanently wrote off or collected $29,722 of amounts previously reserved. Accordingly, our allowance for doubtful accounts increased slightly from $43,764 at December 31, 2008 to $43,722 at September 30, 2009. During the quarter ended September 30, 2008, we recorded bad debt expense totaling $21,800, and recovered $250 of amounts previously written off. Accordingly, our allowance for doubtful accounts increased from $11,950 at December 31, 2007, to $34,009 at September 30, 2008.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates include the allowance for doubtful accounts and the valuation of goodwill and intangible assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Income Taxes
We follow 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 taxa |

Note 5. Preferred stock and common stock |
During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, we issued 150,000 shares of our common stock to an employee under the terms of an employment agreement, paid $6,750 to repurchase 2,250,000 shares of our common stock from our former President shortly after his resignation, issued 20,000 shares of common stock to redeem all obligations pursuant to two shares of preferred stock, and issued 100,000 shares as payment for services rendered, as follows:

In February 2009, we issued 150,000 shares of our common stock in connection with an employment agreement with a former officer of Bassett Press. The fair market value of the shares totaled $25,000, or $0.17 per share, which represents the closing price on the date of the agreement. These shares were issued pursuant to the employment agreement.
In February 2009, our former President, who remains on our Board of Directors, sold 2,250,000 shares from his beneficial holdings in a private transaction for $6,750 to the Company. The shares were retired, and we reduced paid-in capital by $4,500.
We issued 100,000 shares of our common stock in July 2009 to a consultant in exchange for certain consulting services, with an estimated fair market value of $10,000, which is equal to the closing price of our common stock on the date of the issuance.
At September 30, 2009, we had five outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock. 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. These shares were issued by our predecessor company and the original documentation which would validate claims thereto is not available, and we are taking steps to retire the series. In April 2009, we issued 20,000 common shares to the holder of two preferred shares, for a value of $100 each, in settlement of the stated value and any potential claims to accumulated dividends thereon. 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. |
Note 6. Intangible Assets |
Included in intangible assets is $50,000 of proprietary software of intellectual property acquired in July 2007, as part of the Basset Press acquisition. 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 6 years to such asset. |

No one customer accounted for greater than 10% of our operating revenues during the three month period ended September 30, 2009. One customer accounted for 15% of our operating revenues during the three month period ended September 30, 2008. One customer accounted for 33% of our operating revenues during the nine month period ended September 30, 2009. No one customer accounted for greater than 10% of our operating revenues during the nine month period ended September 30, 2008.
At September 30, 2009, one customer accounted for 22.5% of our total accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2008, two customers comprised 55.3% (41.0% and 14.3%) of our total accounts receivable.
We do not believe we had any financial instruments that could have potentially subjected us to significant concentrations of credit risk. A portion of our revenues are paid at the beginning of the month via credit card or in advance by check, the remaining accounts receivable amounts are generally due within 30 days, none of which is collateralized. |
