Management Commentary

"We are quite excited about the developments at the Company in our third quarter.  We generated a positive Adjusted EBITDA for a third quarter in a row despite it being a seasonally slow quarter.  This is a further sign that we have achieved the scale required to operate as a profitable company.  Revenue continues to grow as does our customer acquisition.  We had quite a few customer wins in Q3, and we look forward to doing a great job for these customers as we wind up fiscal 2013 and embark on our fiscal 2014.  Our ability to improve gross margins and generate positive Adjusted EBITDA allowed us to improve our cash position while at the same time bring the balance down to zero on our credit line with Silicon Valley Bank.  During the quarter, we also changed our parent company's name from Derycz Scientific to Research Solutions to better reflect the mission and nature of our business and the business of our customers.  These developments, paired with tremendous improvements to our Products, Services and Operations, will allow us to continue focusing on making our customers happy, growing our business and continuing to delivery profitable quarters going forward.  We couldn't be more excited; it's been a great year for us," said Research Solutions President and CEO Peter Derycz.

Alan Urban, Chief Financial Officer, added "Despite a seasonally slow quarter for us, we managed to produce adjusted EBITDA of $66,000, bringing our year to date adjusted EBITDA to $709,000.  In addition, compared to last year we experienced a 14% increase in year to date revenue, and a nearly 4 point increase year to date gross profit as a percentage of revenue."  Mr. Urban continued, "We reaffirm our guidance of $1M in adjusted EBITDA from US operations for the fiscal year."

Use of Non-GAAP Measure – Adjusted EBITDA

In addition to the Company's GAAP results, management also considers the non-GAAP measure of Adjusted EBITDA.
