The financing totaled $1,150,000 in gross proceeds from issuance of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock units.

"CIC is at a very exciting inflection point and my investment partners and I remain fully committed to securing sufficient funding for the Company to reach profitability," stated Philip Sassower, CIC's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "Over the past two years, we have achieved a fantastic improvement in financial performance, and believe that the best is yet to come. CIC continues to add integration partners and the interest in our esignature products and services has never been higher. During 2013, we expect to achieve a growing amount of transaction and recurring revenue and the Company will look to this and additional funding rounds, as may be required, to support operations until such time as CIC becomes self sufficient."
