I never did listen to that ISDR call. I sold most and bought more Cipher. The second half of this year should be good for this stock even though it's been on a tear the past year.

I wish I had really loaded this last year before the price move, but I didn't hear about it until it was a three dollar stock. Still, the earnings are not hard to forecast and the value of the company will be higher with some more growth out of absorica.

ISDR:

Sorry I don't have PM to respond about ISDR for those who PM'd me. I thought it was quite an impressive quarter. Yes they do have seasonality (annual reports/proxy/filings/etc. being the major reason) and so counting on them to average this top/bottom level may be a bit optimistic. I don't think they're as seasonal as a few years ago. That being said for a management that has sounded very cautious on every call they've had (granted just a few thus far) they sounded cautiously optimistic on the second half. I'm sure that is in relation to H2 '12. They expect margins to sustain (at an incredible 70%+) they are adding some initiatives to try to increase revenue per customer (they think they'll have over 1000 customers by 2014 would be nice to know avg. revenue per customer).

The stock is quite thin or I would have built up a (much) bigger position this time around. Quite frankly I thought we'd be up $1 - $2 today but that is OK my sense on the trading leading up to earnings was there always seemed to be shares to be had in the high 6's first and then in 7's as earnings approached. Perhaps someone wanting to sell a (relatively) large position took advantage of the nice report to do so. If I'm right I'd imagine we creep up from here. I don't recall management selling despite more than doubling (since I owned the second time around) and they own a substantial amount in addition to being low number of shares so this really is a low floater!

Here is the Earnings PR for those interested.

Issuer Direct Reports 56% Revenue Growth and 914% Increase in Net Income for Q2 2013

Gross Margins Reach 70% and Non-GAAP EPS Increases 93%, as ISDR Leverages Its Cloud-Based, SaaS, Recurring Revenue Model



MORRISVILLE, NC--(Marketwired - Aug 6, 2013) - Issuer Direct Corporation (OTCBB: ISDR), a market leader and innovator of disclosure management solutions and cloud-based compliance technologies, today reported its operating results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2013. The Company will host an investor conference call at 4:30 p.m. EDT today, to discuss operating results and relevant topics of interest.

Second Quarter 2013 Financial Highlights

Revenue increased 56% to $1.7 million as compared to $1.1 million in the second quarter of 2012
Gross profit increased 73% to $1.2 million as compared to $698,998 in the second quarter of 2012
Gross margins increased to 70%, compared to 63% in the second quarter of 2012
Operating profit increased 931% to $613,136, compared to the second quarter of 2012
Non-GAAP net income increased 93% to 478,838, or $0.23 per share, as compared to the second quarter of 2012
The Company's cash balance increased 20% to $1.5 million at June 30, 2013 as compared to December 31, 2012

Brian R. Balbirnie, Chief Executive Officer of Issuer Direct Corporation, commented, "Our Second Quarter performance once again surpassed expectations in almost every category. The margins and revenue contributions of the stock transfer and disclosure reporting business segments led the way in our continuation to outperform estimates." Mr. Balbirnie continued, "There are strong indications that the growth and initial successes of our market stream and core technology licensing business will continue to increase. As we further commercialize our intellectual property we should continue to see exponential growth."

Wes Pollard, Chief Financial Officer, stated, "The overall 56% increase in revenue is primarily due to growth in compliance and reporting revenue, which generated 77% gross margins in the second quarter of 2013, and an improvement in transfer agent revenues, which generated 80% gross margins during that same period. Our software licensing increased 81% to $96,000, offering a 98% gross margin. As customers continue to adopt our market streams at an accelerated rate, we expect our shareholder communication segment to have increasing importance in the future."

Business Outlook

Mr. Balbirnie further stated, "During the quarter we leveraged our critical mass, generating increased revenue, bigger profits, and larger overall margins, illustrating again the earnings power of this highly efficient, recurring revenue, cloud-based model. We took advantage of this model by delivering incremental top line revenue, augmenting our profitability by upholding high margins. We are at point, where we are really showing the scalability of our infrastructure, where additional gross margin goes almost entirely to the bottom line. We are dedicated to launching new, innovative solutions to increase average revenue per customer and ensure sustained growth. Our industry best 24-hour turnaround times for XBRL and sales infrastructure have been key differentiators that help us continue to gain market share. As the only single-source provider of cloud based disclosure management solutions, we are focused not only on growing organically, but also continuing to evaluate potential acquisitions of complementary businesses that fit our long term business strategy."

For the quarter ended June 30, 2013, Issuer Direct reported revenue of $1.7 million, compared with $1.1 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2012, an increase of 56%.

Non-GAAP Information

Certain non-GAAP financial measures are included in this press release. In the calculation of these measures, the Company generally excludes certain items such as amortization and impairment of acquired intangibles, non-cash stock-based compensation charges, and unusual, non-recurring gains and charges. The Company believes that excluding such items provides investors and management with a representation of the Company's core operating performance and with information useful in assessing its prospects for the future and underlying trends in the Company's operating expenditures and continuing operations. Management uses such non-GAAP measures to evaluate financial results and manage operations. The release and the attachments to this release provide a reconciliation of each of the non-GAAP measures referred to in this release to the most directly comparable GAAP measure.
