RESEARCH SOLUTIONS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Three and Six Months Ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 (Unaudited)
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.

| 8 |

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. 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 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 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 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.

| 9 |

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.

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: Article Galaxy, Reprints and ePrints, and Printing and Logistics services.
Article Galaxy
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, generates nearly all of the revenue attributable to the Article Galaxy journal article platform. 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. 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. 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.

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, our French operating subsidiary. 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. 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 Financial Accounting Standards Board (“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, and the costs of Reprints Desk Latin America are in Mexican pesos. 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 net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period, excluding unvested restricted common stock. 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 share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period, excluding unvested restricted common stock. 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 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 of 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 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 December 31, 2013. Financial covenants are measured on North American operations only and include maintaining a ratio of quick assets to current liabilities of at least 0.8 to 1.0, and maintaining tangible net worth of $500,000, plus 50% of net income for the fiscal quarter ended from and after December 31, 2013, plus 50% of the dollar value of equity issuances after October 1, 2013 (reduced to 40% of the dollar value of equity issuances in connection with the exercise of warrants in November 2013) and the principal amount of subordinated debt. The Company failed to comply with the tangible net worth covenant in December 2011 and July 2013. On both occasions the parties agreed to amend and reset the minimum tangible net worth required under the covenant. 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 December 31, 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 December 31, 2013 and June 30, 2013, respectively. As of December 31, 2013 and June 30, 2013, approximately $2,300,000 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 December 31, 2013 and June 30, 2013, $0 and $165,971 was due from ABN Amro, respectively.

| 12 |

Under the factoring 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 December 31, 2013 was approximately 5%. As of December 31, 2013 and June 30, 2013, $171,415 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 3, 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 December 31, 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 December 31, 2013. As of December 31, 2013 and June 30, 2013, $12,434 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 833,841 shares available for grant under the Plan as of December 31, 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 |

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our June 30, 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Our discussion includes forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties, such as our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. Actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors, including, without limitation:

| · | the projected growth or contractions in the industry within which we operate;
| · | our business strategy for expanding, maintaining or contracting our presence in these markets;
| · | anticipated trends in our financial condition and results of operations; and
| · | our ability to distinguish ourselves from our current and future competitors.

We use words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “plan,” “project,” “continuing,” “ongoing,” “expect,” “believe,” “intend,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” and similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements included in this report are based on information available to us on the date hereof and, except as required by law, we assume no obligation to update any such forward-looking statements.
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 (“Reprints Desk”). 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 its stockholders and issued 8,000,003 shares of common stock to the former stockholders of Reprints Desk. Following completion of the exchange transaction, Reprints Desk became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Research Solutions, Inc. Reprints Desk provides Article Galaxy and Reprint and ePrint services.
On February 28, 2007, we entered into an agreement with Pools Press, Inc., an Illinois corporation (“Pools”), 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. 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 Techniques Appliquées aux Arts Graphiques, S.p.A. (“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 two 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 (“Reprints Desk Latin America”), to provide operational and administrative support services to Reprints Desk.
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 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.

| 16 |

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.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or 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: Article Galaxy, Reprints and ePrints, and Printing and Logistics services.
Article Galaxy
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, generates nearly all of the revenue attributable to the Article Galaxy journal article platform. 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. 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. 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.
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, our French operating subsidiary. 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. 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 issue 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.

Total revenue |  | $ | 18,200,100 |  | $ | 23,524,097 |  | $ | (5,323,997) |  | (22.6) | %

Article Galaxy revenue increased $410,961, or 10.7%, for the three months ended December 31, 2013 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2012, and $904,748, or 11.6%, for the six months ended December 31, 2013 compared to the six months ended December 31, 2012. In both periods, the increase was primarily due to increased orders resulting from the acquisition of new customers. Single article delivery services generate nearly all of the revenue attributable to the Article Galaxy journal article platform. 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.
Revenue from Reprints and ePrints decreased $4,571,877, or 59.4%, for the three months ended December 31, 2013 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2012, and $5,551,393, or 51.3%, for the six months ended December 31, 2013 compared to the six months ended December 31, 2012. In both periods, the decrease was primarily due to unusually large one-time orders from our largest current customers during the three months ended December 31, 2012, and the termination of a historically nonperforming publisher Reprint distribution agreement in December 2012. 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.
Total revenue from North American operations decreased $4,160,916, or 36.0%, for the three months ended December 31, 2013 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2012, and $4,646,645, or 24.9%, for the six months ended December 31, 2013 compared to the six months ended December 31, 2012, for the reasons described above.
Revenue from TAAG decreased $198,803, or 8.2%, for the three months ended December 31, 2013 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2012, and 677,352, or 13.9%, for the six months ended December 31, 2013 compared to the six months ended December 31, 2012. In both periods, the decrease was primarily due to disappointing sales efforts. In the event that TAAG liquidates we would lose a significant percentage of revenue, or all revenue, from TAAG.

Selling, General and Administrative
Selling, general and administrative expenses from North American operations increased $453,090 or 38.6%, for the three months ended December 31, 2013 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2012, and $518,614 or 23%, for the six months ended December 31, 2013 compared to the six months ended December 31, 2012. In both periods, the increase was primarily due to an increase in professional service fees.
Selling, general and administrative expenses from TAAG decreased $369,264 or 31.5%, for the three months ended December 31, 2013 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2012, and $465,411 or 22.8%, for the six months ended December 31, 2013 compared to the six months ended December 31, 2012. In both periods, the decrease was primarily due to reductions in compensation, professional service fees, and rent.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization for the three and six months ended December 31, 2013, amounted to $120,964 and $238,315, respectively.
The amounts recorded for North American operations were split between depreciation of property equipment 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 consisted mostly of depreciation on printing equipment. We expect depreciation expense for TAAG to remain at current levels during the 2014 fiscal year.

Interest Expense
For the three months ended December 31, 2013, interest expense was $15,278, compared to $22,723 for the three months ended December 31, 2012, a decrease of $7,445. For the six months ended December 31, 2013, interest expense was $27,925, compared to $59,560 for the six months ended December 31, 2012, a decrease of $31,635. In both periods, 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.

Net income from North American operations decreased $864,513 or 217.8%, for the three months ended December 31, 2013 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2012, and $1,004,506 or 228.4%, for the six months ended December 31, 2013 compared to the six months ended December 31, 2012. In both periods, the decrease was primarily due to decreased gross profit and increased operating expenses as described above.
Net income from TAAG increased $239,638 or 109.6%, for the three months ended December 31, 2013 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2012, and $290,717 or 92.1%, for the six months ended December 31, 2013 compared to the six months ended December 31, 2012.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

|  | Six Months Ended December 31, |
Consolidated Statements of Cash Flow Data: |  | 2013 |  | 2012 |
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities |  | $ | (123,941) |  | $ | 1,101,401 |
Net cash used in investing activities |  | $ | (35,997) |  | $ | (45,453) |
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities |  | $ | 628,793 |  | $ | (1,199,968) |

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 $11,188,000.
As of December 31, 2013, we had cash and cash equivalents of $2,074,600, compared to $1,699,969 as of June 30, 2013, an increase of $374,631. This increase is primarily attributable to an increase of accounts payable of $893,042 and issuance of shares upon exercise of warrants for cash of $838,000, partially offset by an increase in accounts receivable of $642,506 and an increase in prepaid royalties of $548,408.
North American Operations (Reprints Desk and Reprints Desk Latin America)
We believe that our 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. We expect that our cash flow from North American operating activities will continue to be positive; however, there are no assurances that such results will be achieved.
TAAG (France)
We believe that the current cash resources and expected cash flow from TAAG may not be sufficient to sustain TAAG operations for the next twelve months. During the three 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, we forgave a loan receivable from TAAG totaling $1,009,115 to improve TAAG’s liquidity. Our 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 us 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.

Operating Activities
Our net cash used in operating activities was $123,941 for the six months ended December 31, 2013 and resulted primarily from an increase in accounts receivable of $642,506 and an increase in prepaid royalties of $548,408, partially offset by an increase of accounts payable of $893,042.
Our net cash provided by operating activities was $1,101,401 for the six months ended December 31, 2012 and resulted primarily from an increase in accounts payable of $3,677,225 and non-cash depreciation and amortization of $343,815, partially offset by an increase in accounts receivable of $2,773,262 and an increase in prepaid expenses of $590,644.
Investing Activities
Our net cash used in investing activities was $35,997 for the six months ended December 31, 2013 and resulted primarily from the purchase of intangible assets and property and equipment.
Our net cash used in investing activities was $45,453 for the six months ended December 31, 2012 and resulted primarily from the purchase of property and equipment.
Financing Activities
Our net cash provided by financing activities was $628,793 for the six months ended December 31, 2013 and resulted from the issuance of shares upon the exercise of warrants for cash of $838,000, partially offset by payment of capital lease obligations of $114,857.
Our net cash used in financing activities was $1,199,968 for the six months ended December 31, 2012 and resulted primarily from repayments under our credit line of $900,000 and payments of capital lease obligations of $262,845.
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 December 31, 2013. Financial covenants are measured on North American operations only and include maintaining a ratio of quick assets to current liabilities of at least 0.8 to 1.0, and maintaining tangible net worth of $500,000, plus 50% of net income for the fiscal quarter ended from and after December 31, 2013, plus 50% of the dollar value of equity issuances after October 1, 2013 (reduced to 40% of the dollar value of equity issuances in connection with the exercise of warrants in November 2013) and the principal amount of subordinated debt. We failed to comply with the tangible net worth covenant in December 2011 and July 2013. On both occasions the parties agreed to amend and reset the minimum tangible net worth required under the covenant. 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 December 31, 2013. The line of credit is secured by all of our company’s and subsidiaries’ assets, excluding TAAG’s assets.
There were no outstanding borrowings under the line as of December 31, 2013 and June 30, 2013, respectively. As of December 31, 2013 and June 30, 2013, approximately $2,300,000 and $2,000,000, respectively, of available credit was unused under the line of credit.
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 December 31, 2013 and June 30, 2013, $0 and $165,971 was due from ABN Amro, respectively.
Under the factoring 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 December 31, 2013 was approximately 5%. As of December 31, 2013 and June 30, 2013, $171,415 and $246,221 was due to Credit Cooperatif, respectively, that relate to funds paid to us not yet returned to the factor.
On May 3, 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 December 31, 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 December 31, 2013. As of December 31, 2013 and June 30, 2013, $12,434 and $0 was due from Natixis, respectively.

Non-GAAP Measure – Adjusted EBITDA
In addition to our GAAP results, we present Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure of our performance. However, Adjusted EBITDA is not a recognized measurement under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, income from operations or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP or as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of liquidity. 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-GAAP adjustments to our results prepared in accordance with 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 and six months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012:

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 December 31, 2013, the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level.
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 December 31, 2013 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
