Organization, Consolidation and Presentation Of Financial Statements [Abstract] |
Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements Disclosure [Text Block] | Note 1. Organization, Nature of Business and Basis of Presentation Organization Research Solutions, Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”) 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 (“Reprints Desk Latin America”); and Techniques Appliquées aux Arts Graphiques, S.p.A. (“TAAG”), an entity organized under the laws of France. Nature of Business We 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 facilitating 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 have two reportable diverse geographical concentrations: North American Operations, which consists of Reprints Desk and Reprints Desk Latin America, and TAAG, which operates in France. 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 non-exclusive arrangements with numerous content publishers that allow us to distribute their content. The majority 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 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 enhance 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. We also help customers connect to free content on the Internet when available and compliant with applicable copyright laws. All of the aforementioned services and proprietary software comprise the Article Galaxy journal article platform (“Article Galaxy”). 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 obtain the necessary permissions from the content publisher so that our customer’s use complies with applicable copyright laws. The majority of content publishers print their content in-house and prohibit others from printing their content, however, when not prohibited by the content publisher, we use a third party to print Reprint orders delivered to North American customers, and TAAG to print Reprint orders delivered to mostly European customers. 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. 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. 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. The majority of TAAG’s customers are in France. Only a small percentage of the printing work performed by TAAG is for Reprint orders for North American operations delivered to mostly European customers. 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 December 31, 2013, we had an accumulated deficit of $14,581,741 and stockholders’ equity of $689,222. For the six months ended December 31, 2013, the Company recorded a net loss of $589,503 and cash used in operating activities was $123,941. 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 achieve and maintain profitability on a quarterly or annual basis. North American Operations (Reprints Desk and Reprints Desk Latin America) The Company believes that its current cash resources and expected cash flow from our North American operations will be sufficient to sustain current North American operations for the next twelve months. The Company expects that cash flow from our North American operating activities will continue to be positive; however, there are no assurances that such results will be achieved. TAAG (France) The Company believes that its current cash resources and expected cash flow from TAAG may not be sufficient to sustain TAAG operations for the next twelve months. During the six months ended December 31, 2013, TAAG incurred a net loss from operations of $2,268, and at December 31, 2013, had a working capital deficiency of approximately $1,630,000. In addition, significant net losses in prior years have been incurred and approximately $325,000 of payroll and VAT taxes were delinquent at December 31, 2013. Effective June 30, 2013, the Company forgave a loan receivable from TAAG totaling $1,009,115 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 $279,333. The funding period for TAAG under the line of credit expires on March 31, 2014, and no additional financing for TAAG is in place. 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 would 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.
