RESEARCH SOLUTIONS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Three Months Ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 (Unaudited)

Note 1. Organization, Nature of Business and Basis of Presentation

Organization

Research Solutions, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on November 2, 2006. On March 4, 2013, the Company consummated a merger with DYSC Subsidiary Corporation, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, pursuant to which the Company, in connection with such merger, amended its Articles of Incorporation to change its name to Research Solutions, Inc. (formerly Derycz Scientific, Inc.). Research Solutions, Inc. is a publicly traded holding company with three wholly owned subsidiaries: Reprints Desk, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Reprints Desk”); Reprints Desk Latin America S. de R.L. de C.V, an entity organized under the laws of Mexico; and Techniques Appliquées aux Arts Graphiques, S.p.A. (“TAAG”), an entity organized under the laws of France.

Nature of Business

Our mission is to provide research solutions that facilitate the flow of information from the publishers of scientific, technical, and medical (“STM”) content to enterprise customers in life science and other research intensive organizations around the world. We provide customers with access to hundreds of thousands of newly published articles each year in addition to the tens of millions of existing articles that have been published in the past, helping them to identify the most useful and relevant content for their activities. In addition to serving end users of content, we also serve STM publishers by insuring compliance with applicable copyright laws. We have developed proprietary software and Internet-based interfaces that allow customers to find, electronically receive and legally use the content that is critical to their research.

We provide three types of solutions to our customers: research solutions, marketing solutions, and printing solutions.

Research Solutions

Researchers and regulatory personnel in life science and other research intensive organizations generally require single copies of published STM journal articles for use in their research activities. They place orders with us for the articles they need and we source and electronically deliver the requested content to them generally in under an hour. This service is known in the industry as “Single Article Delivery” or “Document Delivery.” We also obtain the necessary permissions from the content publisher so that our customer’s use complies with applicable copyright laws. We have developed proprietary software and Internet-based interfaces that allow customers to initiate orders, manage transactions, obtain reporting, automate authentication, improve seamless connectivity to corporate intranets, and maximize the information resources they already own, or have access to via subscriptions or internal libraries, as well as organize workgroups to collaborate around scientific information. In some cases, our proprietary software allows us to fully automate the order fulfillment process. Our services alleviate the need for our customers to develop internal systems or contact multiple content publishers in order to obtain the content that is critical to their research.

Marketing Solutions

Marketing departments in life science and other research intensive organizations generally require large quantities of printed copies of published STM journal articles called “Reprints.” They generally supply Reprints to doctors who may prescribe their products and at conferences. We are responsible for the printing and delivery of Reprint orders, and we also obtain the necessary permissions from the content publisher so that our customer’s use complies with applicable copyright laws. Electronic copies, called “ePrints,” are also used for distribution through the Internet and other electronic mechanisms. We have developed proprietary ePrint software that increase the efficiency of our customers’ content purchases by transitioning from paper reprints to electronic ePrints, and by improving compliance with applicable copyright laws and promotional regulations within the life sciences industry.

Printing Solutions

Our printing solutions, exclusively performed by TAAG, our French operating subsidiary, include a variety of hard copy, professionally printed materials that are used for retail and marketing purposes, including Reprints, as well as regulatory sensitive marketing materials and clinical trial kits.

Liquidity

Historically, we have relied upon cash from financing activities to fund substantially all of the cash requirements of our activities and have incurred significant losses and experienced negative cash flow. As of September 30, 2013, we had an accumulated deficit of $14,135,185 and stockholders’ equity of $227,373. For the three months ended September 30, 2013, the Company recorded a net loss of $142,947 and cash provided by operating activities was $177,384. We cannot predict if we will be profitable. We may continue to incur losses for an indeterminate period of time and may never sustain profitability. An extended period of losses and negative cash flow may prevent us from successfully operating and expanding our business. We may be unable to sustain or increase our profitability on a quarterly or annual basis.

	8

North American Operations (Reprints Desk)

The Company believes that its current cash resources and cash flow from our North American operations will be sufficient to sustain current North American operations for the next twelve months. The Company expects to continue to produce cash from North American operating activities; however, there are no assurances that such results will be achieved.

TAAG (France)

The Company believes that its current cash resources and cash flow from TAAG may not be sufficient to sustain TAAG operations for the next twelve months. During the three months ended September 30, 2013, TAAG incurred a net loss from operations of $34,243, and at September 30, 2013, had a working capital deficiency of approximately $1,340,000. In addition, significant net losses in prior years have been incurred and approximately $325,000 of payroll and VAT taxes were delinquent at September 30, 2013. Effective June 30, 2013, the Company contributed a loan receivable from TAAG totaling $1,009,115 to TAAG’s capital to improve TAAG’s liquidity. The Company’s line of credit with Silicon Valley Bank limits the amount of funding of TAAG to a maximum of approximately $335,000, and only to the extent certain warrants are exercised for cash. The funding period for TAAG under the line of credit expires on March 31, 2014, and no additional financing for TAAG is in place. Our overall strategy is to improve TAAG’s revenue, operations, and profitability, however, there is no assurance that such results will be achieved. In the event that TAAG liquidates our exposure to creditors in France is limited to the assets of TAAG, with the exception of a $50,000 guarantee by the Company in favor of the landlord on the facility lease. In the event that TAAG liquidates we could lose a significant percentage of revenue, or all revenue, from TAAG.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying financial statements are consolidated and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Accordingly, these interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013 filed with the SEC. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2013 included herein was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of that date, but does not include all disclosures, including notes, required by U.S. GAAP.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to fairly present the Company's financial position and results of operations for the interim periods reflected. Except as noted, all adjustments contained herein are of a normal recurring nature. Results of operations for the fiscal periods presented herein are not necessarily indicative of fiscal year-end results.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

These estimates and assumptions include estimates for reserves of uncollectible accounts, inventory obsolescence, analysis of impairments of recorded goodwill and intangibles, accruals for potential liabilities and assumptions made in valuing equity instruments issued for services or acquisitions.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. The Company places its cash with high quality financial institutions and at times may exceed the FDIC $250,000 insurance limit. The Company does not anticipate incurring any losses related to these credit risks. The Company extends credit based on an evaluation of the customer's financial condition, generally without collateral. Exposure to losses on receivables is principally dependent on each customer's financial condition. The Company monitors its exposure for credit losses and intends to maintain allowances for anticipated losses, as required.

	9

Cash denominated in Euros with a US Dollar equivalent of $401,819 and $393,093 at September 30, 2013 and June 30, 2013, respectively, was held in accounts at financial institutions located in Europe.

Revenue Recognition

The Company’s policy is to recognize revenue when services have been performed, risk of loss and title to the product transfers to the customer, the selling price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. We generate revenue by providing three types of services to our customers: Single Article Delivery, Reprints and ePrints, and Printing and Logistics services.

Single Article Delivery

We charge a transactional service fee for the electronic delivery of single articles, and a corresponding copyright fee for the permitted use of the content. This service known as Single Article Delivery or Document Delivery, is part of the Article Galaxy journal article platform. We obtain the necessary permissions from the content publisher so that our customer’s use complies with applicable copyright laws. We have non-exclusive arrangements with numerous content publishers that allow us to distribute their content. Many of these publishers provide us with electronic access to their content, which allows us to electronically deliver single articles to our customers often in a matter of minutes. Even though Single Article Delivery services are charged on a transactional basis, customer order volume tends to be consistent from month to month in part due to consistent orders of larger customers that require the implementation of our services into their work flow. We also help customers connect to free content on the Internet when available. The Company recognizes revenue from Single Article Delivery services upon delivery to the customer only when the selling price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured.

Reprints and ePrints

We charge a transactional fee for each Reprint or ePrint order and are responsible for printing and delivery of Reprint orders, and the electronic delivery and, in some cases, the electronic delivery mechanism of ePrint orders. We obtain the necessary permissions from the content publisher so that our customer’s use complies with applicable copyright laws. Reprints and ePrints are charged on a transactional basis and order volume typically fluctuates from month to month based on customer marketing budgets and the existence of STM journal articles that fit customer requirements. The Company recognizes revenue from reprints and ePrints services upon shipment or electronic delivery to the customer only when the selling price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured.

	10

Printing and Logistics Services

We charge a transactional fee for each order of hard copy printed material. We are responsible for printing and delivering the order. Printing and Logistics services are exclusively performed by TAAG. The Company recognizes revenue from printing services when the printed materials have been shipped to the customer only when the selling price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company periodically issues stock options and warrants to employees and non-employees in capital raising transactions, for services and for financing costs. The Company accounts for share-based payments under the guidance as set forth in the Share-Based Payment Topic 718 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees, officers, directors, and consultants, including employee stock options, based on estimated fair values. The Company estimates the fair value of share-based payment awards to employees and directors on the date of grant using an option-pricing model, and the value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the required service period in the Company's Statements of Operations. The Company accounts for stock option and warrant grants issued and vesting to non-employees in accordance with Topic 505 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, whereby the value of the stock compensation is based upon the measurement date as determined at either a) the date at which a performance commitment is reached, or b) the date at which the necessary performance to earn the equity instruments is complete. Stock-based compensation is based on awards ultimately expected to vest and is reduced for estimated forfeitures. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and revised, as necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.

Foreign Currency Translation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollars, the functional currency of the Company. Capital accounts of foreign subsidiaries are translated into US Dollars from foreign currency at their historical exchange rates when the capital transactions occurred. Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate as of the balance sheet date. Income and expenditures are translated at the average exchange rate of the period. Although the majority of our revenue and costs are in US dollars, the revenues and costs of TAAG are in Euros. As a result, currency exchange fluctuations may impact our revenue and the costs of our operations. We currently do not engage in any currency hedging activities.

Net Income (Loss) Per Share

Basic net income per share is computed by dividing the net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net income per share is computed similar to basic net income per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potentially dilutive securities had been issued. Potentially dilutive securities include stock options and warrants. The dilutive effect of potentially dilutive securities is reflected in diluted net income per share if the exercise prices were lower than the average fair market value of common shares during the reporting period.

Net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the respective periods. Basic and diluted net loss per common share is the same for all periods presented with a net loss because all warrants and stock options outstanding are anti-dilutive.

The calculation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per share is presented below:

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-05 Topic 830, “Foreign Currency Matters” (“ASU 2013-05”). ASU 2013-05 resolves the diversity in practice about whether Subtopic 810-10, Consolidation—Overall, or Subtopic 830-30, ASU 2013-05 applies to the release of the cumulative translation adjustment into net income when a parent either sells a part or all of its investment in a foreign entity or no longer holds a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets that is a nonprofit activity or a business (other than a sale of in substance real estate or conveyance of oil and gas mineral rights) within a foreign entity. In addition, the amendments in this Update resolve the diversity in practice for the treatment of business combinations achieved in stages (sometimes also referred to as step acquisitions) involving a foreign entity. ASU 2013-02 became effective for the company prospectively for fiscal years (and interim reporting periods within those years) beginning after December 15, 2013. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material effect on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

The FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2013-04, Liabilities (Topic 405), “Obligations Resulting from Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for Which the Total Amount of the Obligation Is Fixed at the Reporting Date.” ASU 2013-04 provides guidance for the recognition, measurement, and disclosure of obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation within the scope of this ASU is fixed at the reporting date, except for obligations addressed within existing guidance in U.S. GAAP. The guidance requires an entity to measure those obligations as the sum of the amount the reporting entity agreed to pay on the basis of its arrangement among its co-obligors and any additional amount the reporting entity expects to pay on behalf of its co-obligors. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, A Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists (A Consensus the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force). ASU 2013-11 provides guidance on financial statement presentation of unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. The FASB’s objective in issuing this ASU is to eliminate diversity in practice resulting from a lack of guidance on this topic in current U.S. GAAP. This ASU applies to all entities with unrecognized tax benefits that also have tax loss or tax credit carryforwards in the same tax jurisdiction as of the reporting date. This amendment is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2013 and interim periods within those years. The company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial position and results of operations.

Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the AICPA, and the SEC did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company's present or future consolidated financial statements.

Note 3. Line of Credit

The Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with Silicon Valley Bank (“SVB”) on July 23, 2010, which as amended, provides for a revolving line of credit for the lesser of $4,000,000, or 80% of eligible accounts receivable. The line of credit matures on October 31, 2015, and is subject to certain financial and performance covenants with which we were in compliance as of September 30, 2013. The line of credit bears interest at the prime rate plus 2.5% for periods in which the Company maintains an account balance with SVB (less all indebtedness owed to SVB) of at least $800,000 at all times during the prior calendar month (the “Streamline Period”), and at the prime rate plus 5.25% when a Streamline Period is not in effect. The interest rate on the line of credit was 6.5% as of September 30, 2013. The line of credit is secured by all of the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ assets, excluding TAAG’s assets.

There were no outstanding borrowings under the line as of September 30, 2013 and June 30, 2013, respectively. As of September 30, 2013 and June 30, 2013, approximately $1,840,000 and $2,000,000, respectively, of available credit was unused under the line of credit.

Note 4. Factor Agreements

The Company, through TAAG, has factoring agreements with Credit Cooperatif and Natixis for working capital and credit administration purposes. Under the agreements, the factors purchase trade accounts receivable assigned to them by the Company. The accounts are sold (with recourse) at the invoice amount subject to a factor commission and other miscellaneous fees. Trade accounts receivable not sold remain in the Company's custody and control and the Company maintains all credit risk on those accounts.

On September 10, 2013, the Company terminated its factoring agreement with ABN Amro. As of September 30, 2013 and June 30, 2013, $0 and $165,971 was due from ABN Amro, respectively.

Under the agreement with Credit Cooperatif, the Company can borrow up to approximately $325,000 (Euro 250,000). The factor fee is determined on a case by case basis and is not specified in the agreement. The fee charged for the obligations outstanding as of September 30, 2013 was approximately 5%. As of September 30, 2013 and June 30, 2013, $295,596 and $246,221 was due to Credit Cooperatif, respectively, that relate to funds paid to the Company not yet returned to the factor.

On May 3rd, 2013, the Company entered into a factoring agreement with Natixis. The maximum amount the Company can borrow is not specified in the agreement. The factor fee is determined based on the Company's revenue and the average amount of customer invoices. The fee charged for the obligations outstanding as of September 30, 2013 was approximately 0.45%. In addition, interest is charged on the amount financed at the three month Euribor interest rate plus 1.6%. The interest rate under the agreement was approximately 1.8% per annum at September 30, 2013. As of September 30, 2013 and June 30, 2013, $162,234 and $0 was due from Natixis, respectively.

Note 5. Stockholders’ Equity

Stock Options

In December 2007, we established the 2007 Equity Compensation Plan (the “Plan”). The Plan was approved by our board of directors and stockholders. The purpose of the Plan is to grant stock and options to purchase our common stock to our employees, directors and key consultants. On November 15, 2012, the maximum number of shares of common stock that may be issued pursuant to awards granted under the Plan increased from 1,500,000 to 3,000,000, as approved by our board of directors and stockholders. Cancelled and forfeited stock options and stock awards may again become available for grant under the Plan. There were 846,946 shares available for grant under the Plan as of September 30, 2013. All current stock option grants are made under the 2007 Equity Compensation Plan.

The majority of awards issued under the Plan vest immediately or over three years, with a one year cliff vesting period, and have a term of ten years. Stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the awards that are ultimately expected to vest, and recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period.

The following table summarizes vested and unvested stock option activity:

	All Options			Vested Options			Unvested Options
			Weighted			Weighted			Weighted

The weighted average remaining contractual life of all options outstanding as of September 30, 2013 was 7.17 years. The remaining contractual life for options vested and exercisable at September 30, 2013 was 6.58 years. Furthermore, the aggregate intrinsic value of all options outstanding as of September 30, 2013 was $886,152, and the aggregate intrinsic value of options vested and exercisable at September 30, 2013 was $733,335, in each case based on the fair value of the Company’s common stock on September 30, 2013. The total fair value of options vested during the period ended September 30, 2013 was $70,489 and is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying statement of operations. As of September 30, 2013, the amount of unvested compensation related to these options was $466,833 which will be recorded as an expense in future periods as the options vest.

Issuance of Restricted Common Stock

On September 6, 2013, the Company issued 150,833 shares of restricted common stock to employees. These shares vest over a three year period, with a one year cliff vesting period, and remain subject to forfeiture if vesting conditions are not met. The aggregate value of the stock award was $271,499 based on the market price of our common stock of $1.80 per share on the date of grant, which will be amortized over the three year vesting period. The total fair value of restricted common stock vested during the period ended September 30, 2013 was $22,625 and is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying statement of operations. As of September 30, 2013, the amount of unvested compensation related to this issuance of restricted common stock was $248,874 which will be recorded as an expense in future periods as the stock vests. When calculating net income (loss) per share, these shares are included in weighted average common shares outstanding from the time they vest.

On October 31, 2013 the Company amended the Loan and Security Agreement with SVB to extend the maturity date of the line of credit to October 31, 2015. The financial and performance covenants of the line of credit have been updated, while the remaining material terms remain mostly unchanged.

During November 2013, warrants were exercised to purchase approximately 400,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at $2.00 per share, resulting in approximately $800,000 in proceeds to be received by the Company.

Overview

Research Solutions, Inc. was incorporated in the State of Nevada on November 2, 2006, and in November 2006 entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with Reprints Desk, Inc., a Delaware corporation. At the closing of the transaction contemplated by the Share Exchange Agreement, Research Solutions, Inc. acquired all of the outstanding shares of Reprints Desk from shareholders and issued 8,000,003 common shares to the former shareholders of Reprints Desk. Following completion of the exchange transaction, Reprints Desk became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Research Solutions, Inc. Reprints Desk provides Single Article Delivery, Reprint and ePrint services.

On February 28, 2007, we entered into an agreement with Pools Press, Inc., an Illinois corporation, pursuant to which we acquired 75% of the issued and outstanding common stock of Pools for consideration of $616,080. We purchased the remaining interest in Pools that we did not already own on August 31, 2010. The results of Pools’ operations have been included in our consolidated financial statements since March 1, 2007. On January 1, 2012, Pools merged with and into Reprints Desk whereby Reprints Desk assumed all of the rights and properties of Pools, forming one consolidated subsidiary and eliminating the separate legal existence of Pools. Pools provided printing services, specializing in reprints, until operations were discontinued in June 2013.

On March 31, 2011, we entered into an agreement with Fimmotaag, S.p.A. (“Fimmotaag”), a privately held company domiciled in France, pursuant to which we acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding common stock of TAAG in exchange for 336,921 shares of our common stock in addition to future payments payable at the option of Fimmotaag in cash or our common stock under the terms of the purchase agreement. On March 28, 2013, we entered into a Settlement Agreement with Fimmotaag and its 2 principal owners (the “Settlement Agreement”), pursuant to which Fimmotaag agreed to return 336,921 shares of our common stock to us and to forego future payments payable to Fimmotaag by us pursuant to the terms of the agreement under which we acquired TAAG from Fimmotaag. TAAG provides printing and logistics services and is located outside of Paris, France.

On July 24, 2012, we formed Reprints Desk Latin America S. de R.L. de C.V, an entity organized under the laws of Mexico.

On March 4, 2013, we consummated a merger with DYSC Subsidiary Corporation, our wholly-owned subsidiary, pursuant to which we, in connection with such merger, amended our Articles of Incorporation to change our name to Research Solutions, Inc. (formerly Derycz Scientific, Inc.).

We provide three types of solutions to our customers: research solutions, marketing solutions, and printing solutions.

	16

Research Solutions

Marketing Solutions

Marketing departments in life science and other research intensive organizations generally require large quantities of printed copies of published STM journal articles called “Reprints.” They generally supply Reprints to doctors who may prescribe their products and at conferences. We are responsible for the printing and delivery of Reprint orders, and we also obtain the necessary permissions from the content publisher so that our customer’s use complies with applicable copyright laws. Electronic copies, called “ePrints,” are also used for distribution through the Internet and other electronic mechanisms. We have developed proprietary ePrint software that increase the efficiency of our customers’ content purchases by transitioning from paper Reprints to electronic ePrints, and by improving compliance with applicable copyright laws and promotional regulations within the life sciences industry.

Printing Solutions

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. When making these estimates and assumptions, we consider our historical experience, our knowledge of economic and market factors and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ under different estimates and assumptions.

The accounting estimates and assumptions discussed in this section are those that we consider to be the most critical to an understanding of our financial statements because they inherently involve significant judgments and uncertainties.

Revenue Recognition

Our policy is to recognize revenue when services have been performed, risk of loss and title to the product transfers to the customer, the selling price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. We generate revenue by providing three types of services to our customers: Single Article Delivery, Reprints and ePrints, and Printing and Logistics services.

Single Article Delivery

We charge a transactional service fee for the electronic delivery of single articles, and a corresponding copyright fee for the permitted use of the content. This service known as Single Article Delivery or Document Delivery, is part of the Article Galaxy journal article platform. We obtain the necessary permissions from the content publisher so that our customer’s use complies with applicable copyright laws. We have non-exclusive arrangements with numerous content publishers that allow us to distribute their content. Many of these publishers provide us with electronic access to their content, which allows us to electronically deliver single articles to our customers often in a matter of minutes. Even though Single Article Delivery services are charged on a transactional basis, customer order volume tends to be consistent from month to month in part due to consistent orders of larger customers that require the implementation of our services into their work flow. We also help customers connect to free content on the Internet when available. We recognize revenue from Single Article Delivery services upon delivery to the customer only when the selling price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured.

Reprints and ePrints

We charge a transactional fee for each Reprint or ePrint order and are responsible for printing and delivery of Reprint orders, and the electronic delivery and, in some cases, the electronic delivery mechanism of ePrint orders. We obtain the necessary permissions from the content publisher so that our customer’s use complies with applicable copyright laws. Reprints and ePrints are charged on a transactional basis and order volume typically fluctuates from month to month based on customer marketing budgets and the existence of STM journal articles that fit customer requirements. We recognize revenue from reprints and ePrints services upon shipment or electronic delivery to the customer only when the selling price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured.

	17

Printing and Logistics Services

We charge a transactional fee for each order of hard copy printed material. We are responsible for printing and delivering the order. Printing and Logistics services are exclusively performed by TAAG. We recognize revenue from printing services when the printed materials have been shipped to the customer only when the selling price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured.

Stock-Based Compensation

We periodically issues stock options and warrants to employees and non-employees in capital raising transactions, for services and for financing costs. We account for share-based payments under the guidance as set forth in the Share-Based Payment Topic 718 of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") Accounting Standards Codification, which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees, officers, directors, and consultants, including employee stock options based on estimated fair values. We estimate the fair value of share-based payment awards to employees and directors on the date of grant using an option-pricing model, and the value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the required service period in our Statements of Operations. We account for stock option and warrant grants issued and vesting to non-employees in accordance with Topic 505 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, whereby the value of the stock compensation is based upon the measurement date as determined at either a) the date at which a performance commitment is reached, or b) the date at which the necessary performance to earn the equity instruments is complete. Stock-based compensation is based on awards ultimately expected to vest and is reduced for estimated forfeitures. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and revised, as necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.

Article Galaxy revenue increased $493,787, or 12.4%, for the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2012, primarily due to the acquisition of new customers. Revenue from Reprints and ePrints decreased $979,516, or 31.3%, for the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2012, primarily due to decreased orders from current customers. Total revenue from North American operations decreased $485,729, or 6.8%, for the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2012.

Revenue from TAAG decreased $478,549, or 19.6%, for the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2012, primarily due to disappointing sales efforts and general financial uncertainty in Europe. Our overall strategy is to improve TAAG’s revenue, however, there is no assurance that such results will be achieved. In the event that TAAG liquidates we could lose a significant percentage of revenue, or all revenue, from TAAG.

Cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue from Article Galaxy decreased 0.4%, for the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2012, primarily due to reductions in production expenses and decreased payments to publishers. Cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue from Reprints and ePrints increased 3.8%, for the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2012, primarily due to increased payments to publishers.

Cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue from TAAG decreased 4.7%, for the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2012, primarily due to reductions in production expenses.

Selling, General and Administrative

Selling, general and administrative expenses from North American operations increased $65,524 or 6.1%, for the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2012, primarily due to increases in compensation and professional service fees.

Selling, general and administrative expenses from TAAG decreased $96,147 or 11.1%, for the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2012, primarily due to reductions in compensation, professional service fees, and rent.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization for the three months ended September 30, 2013, amounted to $117,351.

The amounts recorded for North American operations are split between depreciation and amortization of customer lists. We expect depreciation and amortization expense for North American operations to remain at current levels during the 2014 fiscal year.

The amounts recorded for TAAG consist mostly of depreciation on printing equipment. We expect depreciation expense for TAAG to remain at current levels during the 2014 fiscal year.

Interest Expense

Interest expense was $12,647 for the three months ended September 30, 2013, compared to $36,837 for the three months ended September 30, 2012, a decrease of $24,190. The decrease was primarily due to reduced interest expense from capital leases of printing equipment at TAAG. We expect interest expense to remain at current levels during the 2014 fiscal year.

Total net income (loss)	$	(142,947)	$	(54,033)	$	(88,914)		(164.6)	%

Net income from North American operations decreased $139,993 or 326%, for the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2012, primarily due to decreased gross profit and increased operating expenses as described above.

Net loss from TAAG decreased $51,079 or 52.7%, for the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2012, primarily due to decreased operating expenses as described above, and partially offset by decreased gross profit as described above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

	Three Months Ended September 30,
	2013		2012
Consolidated Statements of Cash Flow Data:
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	177,384	$	41,748
Net cash used in investing activities	$	(4,176)	$	(19,106)
Net cash used in financing activities	$	(7,652)	$	(950,925)

Since our inception, we have funded our operations primarily through private sales of equity securities and the exercise of warrants, which have provided aggregate net cash proceeds to date of approximately $10,350,000.

As of September 30, 2013, we had cash and cash equivalents of $1,804,881, compared to $1,699,969 as of June 30, 2013, an increase of $104,912. This increase is primarily attributable to a decrease in accounts receivable of $246,257 and non-cash depreciation and amortization of $117,351, partially offset by a decrease of accounts payable of $216,234 and payments of capital lease obligations of $48,148.

North American Operations (Reprints Desk)

We believe that our current cash resources and cash flow from our North American operations will be sufficient to sustain current North American operations for the next twelve months. We expect to continue to produce cash from North American operating activities; however, there are no assurances that such results will be achieved.

TAAG (France)

We believe that the current cash resources and cash flow from TAAG may not be sufficient to sustain TAAG operations for the next twelve months. During the three months ended September 30, 2013, TAAG incurred a net loss from operations of $34,243, and at September 30, 2013, had a working capital deficiency of approximately $1,340,000. In addition, significant net losses in prior years have been incurred and approximately $325,000 of payroll and VAT taxes were delinquent at September 30, 2013. Effective June 30, 2013, we contributed a loan receivable from TAAG totaling $1,009,115 to TAAG’s capital to improve TAAG’s liquidity. Our line of credit with Silicon Valley Bank limits the amount of funding of TAAG to a maximum of approximately $335,000, and only to the extent certain warrants are exercised for cash. The funding period for TAAG under the line of credit expires on March 31, 2014, and no additional financing for TAAG is in place. Our overall strategy is to improve TAAG’s revenue, operations, and profitability, however, there is no assurance that such results will be achieved. In the event that TAAG liquidates our exposure to creditors in France is limited to the assets of TAAG, with the exception of a $50,000 guarantee by us in favor of the landlord on the facility lease. In the event that TAAG liquidates we could lose a significant percentage of revenue, or all revenue, from TAAG.

Operating Activities

Our net cash provided by operating activities was $117,384 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and resulted primarily from a decrease in accounts receivable of $246,257 and non-cash depreciation and amortization of $117,351, partially offset by a decrease of accounts payable of $216,234.

Our net cash provided by operating activities was $41,748 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and resulted primarily from a decrease in accounts receivable of $291,156, non-cash depreciation and amortization of $199,602, and a decrease in due from factor of $143,705, partially offset by a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $796,201 as well as the net loss of $54,033 for the period.

Investing Activities

Our net cash used in investing activities was $4,176 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and resulted primarily from the purchase of intangible assets.

Our net cash used in investing activities was $19,106 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and resulted primarily from the purchase of property and equipment.

Financing Activities

Our net cash used in financing activities was $7,652 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and resulted from payments of capital lease obligations of $48,148 and payment of notes of payable of $8,879, partially offset by advances to factor of $49,375.

Our net cash used in financing activities was $950,925 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and resulted primarily from payments under the line of credit of $750,000 and payment of capital lease obligations of $132,835.

We entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with Silicon Valley Bank (“SVB”) on July 23, 2010, which as amended, provides for a revolving line of credit for the lesser of $4,000,000, or 80% of eligible accounts receivable. The line of credit matures on October 31, 2015, and is subject to certain financial and performance covenants with which we were in compliance as of September 30, 2013. The line of credit bears interest at the prime rate plus 2.5% for periods in which we maintain an account balance with SVB (less all indebtedness owed to SVB) of at least $800,000 at all times during the prior calendar month (the “Streamline Period”), and at the prime rate plus 5.25% when a Streamline Period is not in effect. The interest rate on the line of credit was 6.5% as of September 30, 2013. The line of credit is secured by all of our company’s and subsidiaries’ assets, excluding TAAG’s assets.

We, through TAAG, have factoring agreements with Credit Cooperatif and Natixis for working capital and credit administration purposes. Under the agreements, the factors purchase trade accounts receivable assigned to them by us. The accounts are sold (with recourse) at the invoice amount subject to a factor commission and other miscellaneous fees. Trade accounts receivable not sold remain in our custody and control and we maintain all credit risk on those accounts.

On September 10, 2013, we terminated our factoring agreement with ABN Amro. As of September 30, 2013 and June 30, 2013, $0 and $165,971 was due from ABN Amro, respectively.

Under the agreement with Credit Cooperatif, we can borrow up to approximately $325,000 (Euro 250,000). The factor fee is determined on a case by case basis and is not specified in the agreement. The fee charged for the obligations outstanding as of September 30, 2013 was approximately 5%. As of September 30, 2013 and June 30, 2013, $295,596 and $246,221 was due to Credit Cooperatif, respectively, that relate to funds paid to us not yet returned to the factor.

On May 3rd, 2013, we entered into a factoring agreement with Natixis. The maximum amount we can borrow is not specified in the agreement. The factor fee is determined based on our revenue and the average amount of customer invoices. The fee charged for the obligations outstanding as of September 30, 2013 was approximately 0.45%. In addition, interest is charged on the amount financed at the three month Euribor interest rate plus 1.6%. The interest rate under the agreement was approximately 1.8% per annum at September 30, 2013. As of September 30, 2013 and June 30, 2013, $162,234 and $0 was due from Natixis, respectively.

Non-U.S. GAAP Measure – Adjusted EBITDA

In addition to our U.S. GAAP results, we present Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure of our performance. However, Adjusted EBITDA is not a recognized measurement under U.S. GAAP. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) from operations, plus depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, impairment of acquired intangibles and goodwill, loss on facility sublease, and (gain) loss on sale of fixed assets. Management considers our core operating performance to be that which can be affected by our managers in any particular period through their management of the resources that affect our underlying revenue and profit generating operations that period. Non-U.S. GAAP adjustments to our results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP are itemized below. You are encouraged to evaluate these adjustments and the reasons we consider them appropriate for supplemental analysis. In evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses that are the same as or similar to some of the adjustments in this presentation. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items.

Set forth below is a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to income (loss) from operations for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012:

	Three Months Ended September 30,
	2013		2012
Income (loss) from operations	$	(123,404)	$	(13,645)
Add (deduct):
Depreciation and amortization		117,351		199,602
Stock-based compensation		93,114		42,172
(Gain) loss on sale of fixed assets		-		(6,879)
Adjusted EBITDA	$	87,061	$	221,250

We present Adjusted EBITDA because we believe it assists investors and analysts in comparing our performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance. In addition, we use Adjusted EBITDA in developing our internal budgets, forecasts and strategic plan; in analyzing the effectiveness of our business strategies in evaluating potential acquisitions; and in making compensation decisions and in communications with our board of directors concerning our financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool which includes, among others, the following:

	·	Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our cash expenditures, or future requirements, for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
	·	Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;
	·	Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our debts; and
	·	although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. For purposes of this section, the term disclosure controls and procedures means controls and other procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of September 30, 2013, the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level.

	23

Inherent Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

Management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control systems are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, no evaluation of internal control over financial reporting can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been or will be detected.

These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Projections of any evaluation of controls effectiveness to future periods are subject to risks. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

In addition, our management with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have determined that no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as that term is defined in Rules 13(a)-15(f) and 15(d)-15(f) of the Exchange Act) occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2013 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
