Financial Results

In the third quarter of fiscal 2010, Issuer Direct achieved revenues of $403,991, compared to $326,433 in the third quarter of fiscal 2009, representing a growth of 24% in revenue for the period. Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 increased 115% to $3,368,722 as compared to $1,564,777 in the same period of 2009. The increase in revenue during the third quarter of 2010 as compared to the same period in 2009 is primarily due to the continued growth of the Company's transfer agent business, which increased by 447% as compared to the same period in 2009. Gross profit for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 was $212,933 as compared to $180,942 in the same period of 2009.

The Company reported a net loss for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 of $40,772 or $0.00 per share, as compared to a net loss of $9,958, or $0.00 per share in the same period of 2009. The Company reported net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 of $222,735, or $0.01 per share, as compared to $350,236, or $0.02 per share, in the same period of 2009.

"While we are pleased with the third quarter's increase in revenue, we are equally happy that this quarter represents our tenth quarter of year over year growth since the beginning of 2008," stated Brian Balbirnie, Chief Executive Officer of Issuer Direct. Mr. Balbirnie went on to say, "We are beginning to see an upturn in activity in our financial reporting segment due to the interest in XBRL for both Issuers and Funds, and as the deadline nears we should see substantial increases in top line revenues and segment margin improvement because of this regulatory deadline."

During the quarter ended September 30, 2010, the Company successfully completed the relocation to their new corporate headquarters at 500 Perimeter Park, Suite D, Morrisville, NC. The new corporate office is over 16,000 square feet, and will be sufficient to handle the next phase of the Company's growth. Coincident to the relocation and over the past thirty days, the company has added ten employees to its sales group and transfer agent business segment, bringing the total headcount to 25.

Non-GAAP Results

The Company reported non-GAAP net income during the quarter ended September 30, 2010 of $10,321, or $0.00 per share, as compared to non-GAAP net income of $6,875, or $0.00 per share, as compared to the same period of 2009. The Company reported non-GAAP net income during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 of $366,673, or $0.02 per share, as compared to non-GAAP net income of $380,736, or $0.02 per share, during the same period of 2009. Please refer to the attached reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures referred to in this release to the most directly comparable GAAP measures.
