“The results for the fourth quarter were 30% higher than the prior quarter and consistent with those of the fourth quarter of 2014,” said Philip Sassower, co-chairman and chief executive officer for iSIGN. “During 2015, we continued investing a high percentage of our budget in software development activities in support of the exclusive business and technology partnership with France-based Cegedim, as well as our significant U.S. financial services sector customers. Our ongoing investment in development assures that iSIGN’s electronic signature and enterprise work flow solutions are highly competitive both domestically and internationally. As previously reported, we have changed the name of the company from Communication Intelligence Corporation to iSIGN Solutions Inc. as a clear indication of our continuing commitment to cutting edge electronic signature solutions in a rising digital transaction management sector.”

This increase primarily was due to higher stock option expenses and certain expenses related to a proposed public offering offset by lower overhead expenses.
For the year ended December 31, 2015, the net loss attributable to common stockholders was $7,619,000, an increase of $240,000, or 3%, compared to a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $7,379,000 in the prior year. This increase primarily was due to a $12,000 increase in loss from operations from 2014 to 2015, resulting from the above mentioned increase in revenue offset by an increase in operating expenses, a $205,000 decrease in interest expense, a $53,000 increase in amortization of debt discount, a $126,000 decrease in accretion of beneficial conversion feature and a $42,000 decrease in other income and gains, offset by a $464,000 increase in preferred stock dividend expense.
