Note 1.

Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited interim balance sheet as of September 30, 2010 and statements of operations and cash flows for the periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 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) 2009 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.

Note 2.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Earnings per Share (EPS)

Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income 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, 2010 and 2009, gives effect to the weighted average of 258,323 and 41,665 shares, respectively, issuable upon conversion of the Company’s shares of preferred stock. Diluted loss per share for the quarters ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 did not give effect to the outstanding shares of preferred stock because the impact would have been anti-dilutive. Furthermore, diluted income (loss) per share for the three month and nine periods ended September 30, 2010 did not give effect to options to purchase common stock at September 30, 2010 because the exercise price of the options exceeded the fair market value of the Company’s common stock.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

We initially record our provision for doubtful accounts based on our historical experience and then adjust this provision at the end of each reporting period based on a detailed assessment of our accounts receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts.

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 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.

At the end of each interim period, we estimate the effective tax rate we expect to be applicable for the full fiscal year and this rate is applied to our results for the interim year to date period. Based upon our evaluation of possible future events and transactions, and expected changes to our valuation allowance and utilization of our net operating loss carryforwards, we currently estimate our effective tax rate for the 2010 fiscal year will be 0%.

Fair Value Measurements

As of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, 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 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

The adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements did not have a material effect on our financial position or results from operations. We do not expect recently issued accounting pronouncements that are not yet effective will have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations upon adoption.

Note 3:

Notes payable – related party

As of December 31, 2009, we had three unsecured related party notes payable outstanding, totaling $73,525 as follows:

	September 30, 2010		December 31, 2009
Note Payable to our Chief Executive Officer in the amount of $25,000 for various obligations the former company was party to, including former legal counsel, former transfer agent and tax obligations with the state of Delaware. The unsecured note carries 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 nine month period ended September 30, 2010.	$	––	$	23,525

Unsecured Note Payable to a prior Director of the Company in the amount of $25,000, 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 the Private Placement. The note and accrued interest was converted into 229,485 shares of common stock during the nine month period ended September 30, 2010.		––		25,000

Total notes payable - related party	$	––	$	73,525

Note 4:

Preferred stock and common stock

During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we had the following preferred and common stock transactions:

On March 25, 2010, we issued 150,000 shares of common stock to our Chief Financial Officer in exchange for services. The fair market value of the shares totaled $27,000, or $0.18 per share, which represents the closing price on the date of issuance.
On March 31, 2010, we issued 458,970 shares of commons stock to two prior Directors of the Company for the conversion of notes payable totaling $50,000 and accrued interest of $9,666. The notes payable and accrued interest were converted at $0.13 per share, which represents the average share price over the prior twelve months. The fair value of common stock on the date of the transaction was $0.18. The difference of $0.05 per share, or $22,949, has been recorded as additional interest expense.
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 $4,245. 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, 216,666, and the market price of our common stock on the date of the agreement of $0.18. The difference between the carrying value of the debt and accrued interest and the fair value of the preferred shares of $11,230 has been recorded as additional interest expense.
On May 10, 2010, we issued 100,000 shares of common stock to our Chief Financial Officer in exchange for services. The fair market value of the shares totaled $18,000, or $0.18 per share, which represents the closing price on the date of issuance.
On August 9, 2010, we issued 100,000 shares of common stock to our Chief Financial Officer in exchange for services. The fair market value of the shares totaled $21,000, or $0.21 per share, which represents the closing price on the date of issuance.

At September 30, 2010, we had 31 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. Under the provisions of the Certificate of Designation, dividends are an obligation only when declared, and the Board has not declared any dividends payable on the Series A Preferred Stock. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock is convertible into 8,333 shares of common stock. Of the outstanding preferred shares, 5 of 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 those shares.

Note 5: 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, 1,500,000 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) 500,000 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.

During the three months ended September 30, 2010, we issued options to purchase 835,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.21, and options to purchase 165,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.231. All of the stock options granted expire in either five or ten years. During the three months ended September 30, 2010, we recorded expense of $12,878 related to these stock options. No options had been exercised as of September 30, 2010.

Note 6: Concentrations

For the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, we earned revenues (as a percentage of total revenues) in the following categories:

	Three months ended						Nine months ended
	September 30						September 30
Revenue Streams	2010			2009			2010			2009
Compliance and reporting services		28.9	%		51.8	%		13.2	%		36.0	%
Printing and financial communication		11.5	%		14.9	%		42.2	%		21.9	%
Fulfillment and distribution		28.1	%		24.5	%		31.1	%		23.3	%
Software licensing		1.7	%		2.1	%		3.1	%		5.6	%
Transfer agent services		29.8	%		6.7	%		10.4	%		13.2	%
Total		100.0	%		100.0	%		100.0	%		100.0	%

At September 30, 2010, no one customer accounted for greater than 10% of our total accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2009, one customer accounted for 17.8% of our total accounts receivable.

One customer accounted for 55% of operating revenues during the nine month period ended September 30, 2010. 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 three months period ended September 30, 2010 and 2009.

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.

Note 7: Commitments and Contingencies

In August 2010, we signed a seven year and two month lease for 16,059 square feet for our corporate headquarters, located at 500 Perimeter Park Drive, Suite D, Morrisville, NC 27560. At our option, we may terminate the lease anytime after October 31, 2014 in exchange for an early termination fee of $135,000. If we do not terminate the lease early, our required minimum lease payments are as follows:

Year Ended December 31:
2011	$	65,621
2012		78,833
2013		137,589
2014		141,428
2015		144,411
Thereafter		123,336
Total	$	691,218

Note 8: Subsequent events

The Company has evaluated all events that occur after the balance sheet date as of September 30, 2010 through the date when the financial statements were issued to determine if they must be reported. Management of the Company determined that there were no reportable subsequent events to be disclosed.

Most publicly-traded companies are required to file corporate documents to and with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”); including: registration statements, annual reports, quarterly reports, prospectuses, information statements, material event filings, proxy statements, ownership documents, and more.

Additionally, our XBRL (eXtensible Business Reporting Language) filing solutions leverage both our knowledge and expertise coupled with technology partnered systems and tagging components to meet current and upcoming SEC regulations.

Our online compliance system encompasses self-filing tools, regulatory filing creation, and document hosting and collaboration for those compliance professionals that desire the hands on self-filing method directly with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Transfer Agent Service

We operate our transfer agent business under the brand Direct Transfer. Our shareholder services business provides a complete array of agency and registrar services beyond traditional transfer agents. By combining our online portal technologies, corporate issuers and their constituents can manage, issue, monitor, communicate and disseminate all facets of managing shareholder information.

Our commitment to compliance and safeguarding of information goes beyond our SAS70 business process. We maintain our client’s books and records in the manner we would expect ours to be managed – this focus on customer service has enabled us to be one of the fastest growing transfer agents in the marketplace.

Corporate issuers have the ability to take advantage of the following:

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

● 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; and

● Corporate re-organization services including CUSIP, FINRA and state filing needs.

Printing and Financial Communication

We have continued to expand our printing and communications reach in the market by integrating real-time status compliance tracking into our workflow systems for compliance professionals. Our digital print management tool, Print-on-Demand, and full web press production systems have continued to gain market traction considering the competitiveness and pricing pressures over the past two years. We believe we have established a competitive advantage in the market by bundling short run service offering to issuers who prefer to print what we refer to as ‘one-too-many’ of any corporate documents or compliance filing.

Today we produce a comprehensive array of documents for many of the nation's leading corporations, mutual fund companies, law firms, and investment banks. We believe our financial printing expertise gives us the edge in the market - giving our customers the confidence and time to focus on their business. Our production staff has a deep understanding of the regulatory requirements that drive many of the printed materials required to be distributed today - such as the new Summary Prospectus for funds and Notice and Access for corporate issuers.

Over the past nine months, we have expanded our reach into the mutual fund marketplace by releasing our iFUND fulfillment, Print-on-Demand (POD) and compliance system. As the method of delivery is changing, iFUND is uniquely positioned to take advantage of both traditional full set postal delivery as well as digital on demand. On June 17, 2010 we entered into a strategic alliance with Edgar Online to jointly extend XBRL solutions to the Mutual Fund marketplace. By adding Edgar Online’s XBRL tagging services to our Interactive Fund Platform – (IFP), we believe our iFUND platform will become the industry standard for Mutual Funds that seek to find a seamless offering to serve both regulatory compliance needs and shareholder requests.

Fulfillment and Distribution

The demand for materials such as proxy statements (annual and special meetings), shareholder requests, prospectuses, and annual and semiannual fund reports fluctuates and, overall, is greatly affected by the new notice and access regulations. The demand for fulfillment and distributions has typically been seasonal and increases significantly immediately following a period of annual report filings and related disclosures. We have made great strides to minimize the seasonality typically found in this industry segment by developing our e-notify iFund fulfillment portal, summary prospectus technologies, customized digital document hosting and compliance tools – which have expanded our reach to the mutual fund, fund managers and administrators market.

Proxy Systems

Our Proxy system (iProxyDirect) is a comprehensive technology platform that encompasses issuers, shareholders, banks, brokers and vital constituents during the proxy process. We believe iProxy is one of the only voting platforms where corporate issuers and mutual funds/administrators can setup, manage, communicate and monitor the entire proxy process from one online system. iProxy offers Notice & Access options, material on demand fulfillment, digital delivery, and secure document hosting coupled with real-time voting.

Software Licensing

One of our focus points over the past year has been to build proprietary technologies to help drive both our back office and the back offices of our clients. As it overlays our entire business, we have been able to efficiently manage our corporate issuers’ data, shareholders’ communications and compliance requirements from one portal, unlike anyone else in the market. We currently utilize one system with which corporate issuers can request, communicate and distribute virtually any regulatory document, announcement or shareholder request securely via any web browser.

We recently began licensing our compliance technologies to partners whom have a reach in the market beyond our client base. We intend to continue to license our technologies both as a stand along platform as well as a component to other partner’s platforms.

As our systems continue to evolve to meet the growing needs of compliance and regulatory professionals we anticipate a larger portion of our business will be derived from this segment by providing the compliance community access to our platform.

News Wire Distribution

Our custom newswire distribution services meet all Securities and Exchange Commission disclosure requirements as it distributes news to thousands of online sites, financial desktops, newspapers, reporters and wire services, through our strategic news dissemination partner. Releases are also archived and accessible through such popular services as Lexis-Nexis, Dow Jones News Retrieval, Factiva and e-Notify.

e-Notify is our proprietary digital on demand system that can be added to any news wire service. Corporate issuers can choose from both an e-distribution and Print-on-Demand e-Notify campaign via our online portal technologies; at the same time a press release or earning release is created. We believe we are the only regulatory business services company offering this today.

Total	$	403,991	$	326,433	$	3,368,722	$	1,564,777

Total revenue increased $77,558 and $1,803,945, or 24% and 115%, respectively, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to the same periods in fiscal 2009. The overall increase in revenue during the three months ended September 30, 2010 is primarily due to an increase in revenue from transfer agent services of $98,414. The increase in revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 is primarily due to an increase in printing and financial communication revenue of $1,080,157, an increase in fulfillment and distribution revenue of $682,099, and an increase in revenue from transfer agent services of $143,858.

Compliance and reporting service revenue decreased $52,048 and $117,422, respectively, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to the same periods in fiscal 2009. The decrease is primarily due to two factors: (1) pricing pressures in the market forcing us to modify current agreements with corporate issuers that resulted in us changing our unlimited Edgarization services into a by the page arrangement or bundled offering; and (2) the capital markets continue to deliver less filings and a reduced number of transactional offerings. We have made efforts to stabilize this business by further bundling our compliance reporting with other comparable services. We will also focus on leveraging our knowledge and expertise in this segment to take advantage of revenue opportunities resulting from the SEC’s XBRL regulations.

Printing and financial communication revenue decreased slightly by $2,214 during the three months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to the same period of 2009. However, printing and financial revenue increased by $1,080,157 during the nine month period ended September 30, 2010 as compared to the same period of 2009. 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 increase in printing and financial communication revenue during the nine month period ended September 30, 2010. The profit margin on this job was below our normal margin requirements. However, we believe we gained significant market momentum and exposure that we will be able to apply to similar opportunities in the future as we continue to devote resources to growing this business segment. These types of projects are difficult to forecast and take a great deal longer to win; therefore, there can be no assurances we will be able to deliver a project of this size in the future.

Fulfillment and distribution revenue increased $33,216 and $682,099, respectively, in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to the same periods in fiscal 2009. The increase in revenue during three months ended September 30, 2010 was primarily attributed to increased revenue from our news wire distribution services. The increase during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was principally the result of the fulfillment and distribution portion of the large project previously mentioned in our print and financial communication revenue discussion. We anticipate that the revenues generated in this segment will continue to be cyclical in nature and account for significant portions of our growth going forward as we continue to commercialize our iFUND platform and print to fulfill systems.

Software licensing revenues increased by $190 and $15,253, respectively, during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2010 as compared to the same periods in fiscal 2009. During the first quarter of 2010, we licensed section 16 software to a strategic partner, which accounted for the increased revenue during the nine month period ended September 30, 2010.

Transfer agent revenue increased by $98,414 and $143,858, respectively, during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2010 as compared to the same periods in fiscal 2009. The increases in revenue are due to the continued expansion of our core transfer agent offerings, and transactional services related to corporate actions.

No one customer accounted for greater than 10% of our operating revenues during the three months period ended September 30, 2010 and 2009. One customer accounted for 55% of operating revenues during the nine month period ended September 30, 2010. One customer accounted for 33% of our operating revenues during the nine month period ended September 30, 2009. We continue to develop compliance workflow tools that once commercialized will diversify our revenues and concentrations over comparative periods.

Cost of Revenues and Gross Margin

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 increased by $45,567 and $1,672,882, respectively, in the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2010 as compared to the same periods in fiscal 2009. The increase in cost of revenues during the three month period ended September 30, 2010 as compared to the same period in 2009 is primarily due to the increase in revenue during the same periods. Gross margin was 53 % during the three months ended March 31, 2010 as compared to 55% during the same period of 2009, and therefore was fairly consistent. We have been able to achieve these margins by continuing to grow higher margin services, such as our transfer agent business.

The increase in cost of revenues during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to the same period in 2009 is due primarily to the large print and fulfillment job during the second quarter of 2010 previously discussed. However, overall gross margin decreased to 31% during the nine month period ended September 30, 2010 as compared to 60% during the same period in 2009. Margins were significantly below our normal margin requirements on our large print and fulfillment job in the second quarter of 2010. In general, such jobs are highly competitive and therefore have significant price pressure.

Costs related to compliance and reporting service are related principally to direct labor costs and third party vendor costs, which we utilize to manage peak demand periods.

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.

Operating Expenses

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 $50,892 and $176,742, respectively, for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2010 as compared to the same periods in fiscal 2009. The increase in fiscal 2010 is primarily due to increases in stock-based compensation of $66,558, accounting and legal services of $43,228, bad debt expense of $14,381, and other moving expenses of $8,362 during the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

The increase in accounting services is primarily due to non-recurring accounting projects we undertook to ensure proper compliance with various state tax requirements, and to ensure the proper utilization of our net operating loss carryforwards as we begin to achieve and sustain profitability. The increase in legal services is primarily due to fees incurred for the review of the lease for our new headquarters, which was executed in August 2010. Moving expenses were incurred as we relocated to our new headquarters in September 2010. For the remainder of fiscal 2010, we do not expect to incur charges similar to what we had during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 other than stock-based compensation.

Sales and Marketing Expenses

Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of salaries, sales commissions, sales consultants, advertising expenses, and marketing. Sales and marketing expenses for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2010 increased by $21,233 and $56,363, respectively, as compared to the same periods in fiscal 2009. The increase is primarily due to expenses paid to a consultant in fiscal 2010 which were not incurred in 2009, and increased salaries as we have increased added salespeople.

Impairment Charges

During the three months ended September 30, 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 the three or nine month periods ended September 30, 2009.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expenses during the three months ended September 30, 2010 decreased by $1,960 due to the write-off of intangible assets that are no longer being amortized. Depreciation and amortization expenses during nine month period ended September 30, 2010 increased slightly by $356 as compared to the same periods in fiscal 2009.

Other Income (Expense)

Other income (expense) during the three nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 consists primarily of interest expense on related party notes payable and finance charges to customers with past due balances that we are reasonably assured we will collect. Other income of $12,442 during the three months ended September 30, 2010 consists primarily of finance charges. Finance charges and interest expense were minimal during the three months ended September 30, 2009. We recorded other expense of $21,356 for the nine month period ended 30, 2010 compared to $1,336 in the comparable period in fiscal 2009. 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. The non-cash interest expense was offset primarily by finance charges of $14,278.

Net Income (Loss)

Net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2010 was $40,772 as compared to $9,958 in the same period of 2009. Net income for the nine month period ended September 30, 2010 was $222,735 as compared to $350,489 in the same period of 2009. Although revenue was higher in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to the same period in 2009, our overall margin percentages were lower and our expenses were higher in 2010 as previously discussed. Furthermore, during the three month period ended September 30, 2010, we allocated significant resources to the relocation of our corporate headquarters. We believe that our new office space will provide us with greater capacity and flexibility to meet the needs of our customers, which will lead to significant revenue opportunities in the future.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of September 30, 2010, we had $495,325 in cash and cash equivalents and $138,966 net accounts receivable. Current liabilities at September 30, 2010, totaled $122,644, including accrued payroll liabilities, and accrued expenses. At September 30, 2010, our total assets exceeded our total liabilities by $703,210. The increase in cash at September 30, 2010 as compared to December 31, 2009 is primarily due to cash flow from operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The decrease in current liabilities is primarily because in March 2010, we converted all remaining notes payable into shares of common and preferred stock and therefore we are no longer in default of any outstanding debt.

We manage our cash flow carefully with the intent to meet our obligations from cash generated from operations. However, it is possible that we will have to raise additional funds through the issuance of equity in order to meet our debt obligations. 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.
