SilverSun Technologies Reports First Quarter 2012 Results

LIVINGSTON, NJ--(Marketwire - May 17, 2012) - SilverSun Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB: SSNT) (OTCQB: SSNT), a preferred source for best-of-breed business management applications and professional consulting services, reported its first financial results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2012 in a Form 10-QSB, filed with the SEC.

Financial Highlights for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2012 Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2011:

• Notwithstanding a one-time, non-cash charge of $719,267 booked as share-based compensation expense related to the Company's previously described restructuring, the Company achieved income from operations on a non-GAAP basis of approximately $33,676, which compared to income from operations of $235,000 in the first quarter of 2011.
  • On a GAAP reporting basis and after factoring in the one-time, non-cash expense item, loss from operations for the first quarter of 2012 totaled $685,591.
• After factoring the one-time, non-cash expense of $719,267, net loss totaled $708,191, or $0.01 loss per basic and diluted share, which compared to net income of $439,639, or $0.08 earnings per fully diluted share.
  • Notwithstanding the noted non-cash charge, the Company achieved net income of approximately $11,076, or $0.00 earnings per share on a non-GAAP basis.

As of March 31, 2012, the Company had $99,952 in cash; $1,164,352 in accounts receivable; zero long term debt; and total stockholders' deficit of $839,623.

Commenting on the results, the Company's Chairman, President and CEO Mark Meller noted, "We continue to be very pleased with the positive progress SilverSun is making in diversifying and expanding our principal operating subsidiary SWK Technologies' revenue mix with proprietary software and service-oriented offerings. This successful strategy has helped to offset any material impact of several large Sage software sales, originally expected to close in the first quarter, being pushed or postponed into later reporting periods."

Continuing, Meller said, "We continue to aggressively execute on our business plan. We acquired one reseller in January, and announced the signing of a letter of intent to acquire Hightower in March. We anticipate that transaction closing imminently. The Company continues to aggressively seek out acquisitions in the Small and Medium-Sized Business software marketplace, and we hope to be in a position to announce further acquisitions in the coming weeks and months."
