Item 1. Business.
Background
PART I
SilverSun Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company” or SilverSun”) is an information technology company, and a value
added reseller and master developer for Sage Software’s Sage 100/500 and ERP X3 financial and accounting software as well as the publisher
of its own proprietary Electronic Data Interchange (“EDI”) software, “MAPADOC”, and 36 other assorted software solutions and
enhancements. The Company focuses on the business software and information technology consulting market for small and medium-sized
businesses, and is looking for other opportunities to grow its business. The Company sells services and products to various end users,
manufacturers, wholesalers and distributor industry clients located throughout the United States.
In June 2004, our wholly-owned subsidiary, SWK Technologies, Inc., a New Jersey-based information technology company, completed a
merger with SWK, Inc., a value added reseller and master developer for Sage Software’s Sage 100/500 financial accounting software as well as
the publisher of its own proprietary Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) software, “MAPADOC.” Until its acquisition of SWK, Inc. on June 2,
2004, the Company was engaged in the design, manufacture, and marketing of specialized telecommunication equipment. With the acquisition
of SWK and as part of its plan to expand into new markets, the Company transformed into an information technology company, and a value
added reseller and master developer for Sage Software’s Sage 100/500 and ERP X3 financial and accounting software as well as the publisher
of its own proprietary Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) software, “MAPADOC.” The Company focuses on the business software and
information technology consulting market, and is looking for other opportunities to grow its business. The Company sells services and products
to various end users, manufacturers, wholesalers and distributor industry clients located throughout the United States.
On June 2, 2006, SWK Technologies, Inc. completed the acquisition of certain assets of AMP-Best Consulting, Inc. of Syracuse, New
York. AMP-Best Consulting, Inc. is an information technology company and value added reseller of licensed accounting software published by
Sage Software. AMP-Best Consulting, Inc. sold services and products to various end users, manufacturers, wholesalers and distribution
industry clients located throughout the United States, with special emphasis on companies located in the upstate New York region.
During 2011, SWK Technologies, Inc., acquired the Sage software customer accounts of IncorTech, a Southern California-based Sage business
partner. This transaction increases the Company’s geographical influence. The focus in Southern California will be to sell and support our
MAPADOC integrated EDI solution and to market Sage ERP X3 to both former IncorTech customers, where suitable, as well as new prospects.
IncorTech has provided professional accounting, technology, and business consulting services to over 300 clients.
In June 2012, the Company completed the purchase of selected assets and obligations of HighTower, Inc., a leading Chicago-based reseller of
Sage software applications and a publisher of proprietary business management enhancements. HighTower’s customers and business products
and services have been integrated into the infrastructure of SWK Technologies, SilverSun’s principal operating subsidiary. In addition to
the strategic benefits that this acquisition affords the Company, it brings SilverSun and SWK additional annual revenues, approximately 870
additional Sage ERP customers, a substantial suite of proprietary enhancement software solutions (with approximately 700 users) and affords the
Company market penetration in the Midwest. Moreover, we look forward to leveraging Hightower’s established network of independent
resellers to further expand distribution of SWK’s proprietary software solutions, and vice versa.
In June 2012, SWK Technologies, Inc. also acquired the Sage Software customer accounts of MicroPoint,, a New York-based Sage business
partner. MicroPoint has provided professional accounting, technology, and business consulting services to over 32 clients.
With acquisitions serving a as key driver of SilverSun’s national expansion strategy, the Company will continue to remain very busy qualifying
and pursuing opportunities in order to facilitate its growth and add to shareholder value.
Our principal offices and facilities are located at 5 Regent Street, Suite 520, Livingston, NJ 07039 and our telephone number is (973) 758-9555.
The Company is publicly traded and is currently traded on the OTCQB under the symbol “SSNT.”
General
We are business consultants for small and medium sized businesses and value-added resellers and developers of financial accounting
software. We also publish our own proprietary EDI software, as well as 36 other proprietary solutions and enhancements utilized for
warehousing, time and billing, and the like. We consider ourselves a leader in marketing financial accounting solutions across a broad spectrum
of industries focused on manufacturing and distribution. We specialize in software integration and deployment, programming, and training and
technical support, aimed at improving the financial reporting and operational efficiencies of small and medium sized companies. The sale of our
financial accounting and EDI software are sold to corporations nationwide.

Table of Contents
We differentiate ourselves from traditional software resellers through our wide range of value-added services, consisting primarily of
programming, training, technical support, and other consulting and professional services. We also provide software customization, data
migration, business consulting, and implementation assistance for complex design environments. Our strategic focus is to respond to our
customers’ requests for interoperability and provide solutions that address broad, enterprise-wide initiatives.
Our product sales are cyclical, and increase when the developer of a specific software product offers new versions, promotions or discontinues
support of an older product.
As is common among software resellers, we purchase our products from our suppliers with a combination of cash and credit extended by the
supplier. We do not carry significant inventory, and generally place an order with the supplier only after receiving a firm commitment from our
customer. Except in unusual situations, we do not allow our customers to return merchandise and rarely offer extended payment terms to our
customers.
Our Products
Substantially all of our initial sales of financial accounting solutions consist of prepackaged software and associated services to customers in the
United States. Our sales are focused on three major product categories and associated value-added services.
Financial Accounting Software
The Company resells accounting software published by Sage Software, Inc. (“Sage”) for the financial accounting requirements of small and
medium sized businesses focused on manufacturing and distribution, and the delivery of related services from the sales of these products,
including installation, support and training. These product sales are primarily packaged software programs installed on a user workstation, on a
local area network server, or in a hosted environment. The programs perform and support a wide variety of functions related to accounting,
including financial reporting, accounts payable and accounts receivable, and inventory management.
We provide a variety of services along with our financial accounting software sales to assist our customers in maximizing the benefits from these
software applications. These services include training, technical support, and professional services. We employ class instructors and have formal,
specific training in the topics they are teaching. We can also provide on-site training services that are highly tailored to meet the needs of a
particular customer. Our instructors must pass annual subject-matter examinations required by Sage to retain their product-based teaching
certifications.
We provide end-user technical support services through our support/help desk. Our staff of product and technology consultants assists
customers calling with questions about product features, functions, usability issues, and configurations. The support/help desk offers services in
a variety of ways, including prepaid services, time and materials billed as utilized and annual support contracts. Customers can communicate with
the support/help desk through e-mail, telephone, and fax channels. Standard support/help desk services are offered during normal business hours
five days per week.
Our professional services include project-focused offerings such as software customization, data migration, and small and medium sized business
consulting. We have project managers who provide professional services to our financial accounting customers.
Electronic Data Interchange (“EDI”) Software
We publish our own proprietary EDI software, “MAPADOC.” EDI can be used to automate existing processes, to rationalize procedures and
reduce costs, and to improve the speed and quality of services. Because EDI necessarily involves business partners, it can be used as a catalyst
for gaining efficiencies across organizational boundaries.
Our “MAPADOC” EDI solution is a fully integrated EDI solution that provides users of Sage Software’s market-leading Sage 100/500/ERP X3
software products with a feature rich product that is easy to use. “MAPADOC” provides the user with dramatically decreased data entry time,
elimination of redundant steps, the lowering of paper and postage costs, the reduction of time spent typing, signing, checking and approving
documents and the ability to self-manage EDI and to provide a level of independence that saves time and money.
We market our “MAPADOC” solutions to our existing and new small and medium-sized business customers, and through a network of
resellers. We have a sales team of technical specialists involved in marketing and supporting sales of the “MAPADOC” product and associated
services.

Table of Contents
Warehouse Management Systems
We are resellers of the Warehouse Management System (“WMS”) software published by Accellos, Inc (“Accellos”). Accellos develops
warehouse management software for mid-market distributors. The primary purpose of a WMS is to control the movement and storage of
materials within an operation and process the associated transactions. Directed picking, directed replenishment, and directed put-away are the key
to WMS. The detailed setup and processing within a WMS can vary significantly from one software vendor to another. However, the basic
WMS will use a combination of item, location, quantity, unit of measure, and order information to determine where to stock, where to pick, and
in what sequence to perform these operations.
The Accellos WMS software improves accuracy and efficiency, streamlines materials handling, meets retail compliance requirements, and refines
inventory control. Accellos also works as part of a complete operational solution by integrating seamlessly with RF hardware, accounting
software, shipping systems and warehouse automation equipment.
We market the Accellos solution to our existing and new medium-sized business customers.
Network Services and Business Consulting
We provide managed services, data back-up, network maintenance and service upgrades for our business clients. We are a Microsoft Solutions
Provider. Our staff includes engineers who maintain certifications from Microsoft and Sage Software. They are Microsoft Certified Systems
Engineers and Microsoft Certified Professionals, and they provide a host of services for our clients, including remote network monitoring, server
implementation, support and assistance, operation and maintenance of large central systems, technical design of network infrastructure, technical
troubleshooting for large scale problems, network and server security, and backup, archiving, and storage of data from servers. There are
numerous competitors, both larger and smaller, nationally and locally, with whom we compete in this market.
Craft Brewery Business Management Solutions
We provide a proprietary series of cloud-based business management solutions created specifically for the U.S. craft brewery and distribution
industry. Currently, implementations of BeerRun, BrewPub, BrewX ERP (powered by Sage ERP X3) and the Distributor Relationship
Management System – Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solutions jointly developed SWK Technologies – have been sold to 17 craft breweries
throughout the country and one internationally. These innovative solutions provide brew masters with a single, turnkey database batch/process
solution capable of managing their manufacturing operations – from forecasting and planning to recipe management to inventory control and
traceability, among other critical business functions, including automated TTB reporting.
Markets
Financial Accounting Software
In the financial accounting software market, we focus on providing enterprise solutions to small- and medium-sized businesses (“SMB”) with
less than $500 million of annual revenue, primarily in the manufacturing and distribution industries. The SMB market is comprised of thousands
of companies within the New York region alone.
While several local and regional competitors exist in the various geographic territories where we conduct business, we believe we have a
competitive advantage in terms of geographic reach, comprehensive training and support, and the provision of other products and services. We
are one of the larger Sage resellers in the United States. While there are numerous national, regional, and local competitors that could be
compared to us in scale, size, geographical reach, and target markets for the resale of Sage products, there is no one dominant competitor or
dominant group of competitors with whom we compete for contracts or assignments on a regular basis. There are also numerous competitors
who publish and/or resell competing product lines, such as Microsoft’s Dynamics accounting software.
Electronic Data Interchange Software
We publish and sell both directly and through a network of software resellers our proprietary EDI software, “MAPADOC”. EDI is computer-
to-computer communication of business documents between companies. It is a paperless way to send and receive Purchase Orders, Invoices,
etc. EDI replaces human-readable documents with electronically coded documents. The sending computer creates the document and the receiving
computer interprets the document. Implementation of EDI streamlines the process of exchanging standard business transactions. Companies
save by eliminating people cost as well as the cost due to errors and double entry of data. The transmissions are accomplished by connecting to a
mailbox via a modem or the Internet. The most common mailbox is a Value Added Network's electronic mailbox. Each user, identified by a
unique EDI ID, accesses his mailbox to send and receive all EDI transactions. To standardize the documents communicated between many
companies, the Transportation Data Coordinating Committee, in 1975, published its first set of standards.
6
Table of Contents
EDI standards are formats and protocols that trading partners agree to use when sending and receiving business documents. Around 1979, The
American National Standards Institute designated an accredited standards committee for EDI. The standards continue to evolve to address the
needs of the member companies. “MAPADOC” complies with all current standards. The market for EDI continues to expand as big box
retailers, such as Wal-Mart, Target, and K-Mart, insist their vendors utilize EDI in their business transactions. There are numerous companies
with whom we compete in the SMB EDI marketplace, including True Commerce and Kissinger Associates.
Arrangements with Principal Suppliers
Our revenues are primarily derived from the resale of vendor software products and services. These resales are made pursuant to channel sales
agreements whereby we are granted authority to purchase and resell the vendor products and services. Under these agreements, we either resell
software directly to our customers or act as a sales agent for various vendors and receive commissions for our sales efforts.
We are required to enter into an annual Channel Partner Agreement with Sage Software, Inc. (“Sage”) whereby Sage appoints us as a non-
exclusive partner to market, distribute, and support Sage 100/500 and ERP X3. These agreements authorize us to sell these software products to
certain customers in the United States. There are no clauses in this agreement that limit or restrict the services that we can offer to customers. We
also operate a Sage Software Authorized Training Center Agreement and also are party to a Master Developers Program License Agreement.
For the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, purchases from one supplier were approximately 47% and 22%, respectively, of the
Company’s total cost of revenue. Generally, the Company does not rely on any one specific supplier for all of its purchases and maintains
relationships with other suppliers that could replace its existing supplier should the need arose.
Customers
We market our products to private companies throughout the United States. For the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, our top ten
customers had approximately $2,262,000 and $3,211,000 in sales and these represented 17% and 31%, respectively, of our total sales for the
period. Generally, we do not rely on any one specific customer for any significant portion of our revenue base. No single customer accounted for
ten percent or more of our consolidated revenues.
Intellectual Property
We regard our technology and other proprietary rights as essential to our business. We rely on copyright, trade secret, confidentiality procedures,
contract provisions, and trademark law to protect our technology and intellectual property. We have also entered into confidentiality agreements
with our consultants and corporate partners and intend to control access to, and distribution of our products, documentation, and other proprietary
information.
We own several trademarks registered with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, including “MAPADOC” and have a number of trademark
applications pending. We have no patents or patent applications pending.
Employees
As of December 31, 2012, we had approximately 61 full time employees with 13 of our employees engaged in sales and marketing activities, 36
employees are engaged in service fulfillment, and 12 employees employed in administrative activities
Our future success depends in significant part upon the continued services of our key sales, technical, and senior management personnel and our
ability to attract and retain highly qualified sales, technical, and managerial personnel. None of our employees are represented by collective
bargaining agreement and we have never experienced a work stoppage.
Available information
We file electronically with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) our annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form
10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K, and amendments to those reports filed or furnished pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934. The public can obtain materials that we file with the SEC through the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov or at the
SEC’s Public Reference Room at 100 F Street, NE, Washington, DC 20549. Information on the operation of the Public Reference Room is
available by calling the SEC at 800-SEC-0330.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.
You should carefully consider the risks described below, together with all of the other information included in this report, in considering our
business and prospects. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones facing the Company. Additional risks and
uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial also may impair our business operations. The occurrence of any of
the following risks could harm our business, financial condition or results of operations.
Risks Related to Our Business and Industry
WE CANNOT ACCURATELY FORECAST OUR FUTURE REVENUES AND OPERATING RESULTS, WHICH MAY FLUCTUATE.
Our operating history and the rapidly changing nature of the markets in which we compete make it difficult to accurately forecast our revenues
and operating results. Furthermore, we expect our revenues and operating results to fluctuate in the future due to a number of factors, including
the following:
·
·
·
·
·
·
·
the timing of sales of our products and services;
the timing of product implementation, particularly large design projects;
unexpected delays in introducing new products and services;
increased expenses, whether related to sales and marketing, product development, or administration;
deferral in the recognition of revenue in accordance with applicable accounting principles, due to the time required to complete projects;
the mix of product license and services revenue; and
costs related to possible acquisitions of technology or businesses.
WE MAY FAIL TO DEVELOP NEW PRODUCTS, OR MAY INCUR UNEXPECTED EXPENSES OR DELAYS.
Although we currently have fully developed products available for sale, we may also develop various new technologies, products and product
features and may rely on them to remain competitive. Due to the risks inherent in developing new products and technologies—limited financing,
competition, obsolescence, loss of key personnel, and other factors—we may fail to develop these technologies and products, or may experience
lengthy and costly delays in doing so. Although we are able to license some of our technologies in their current stage of development, we cannot
assure that we will be able to develop new products or enhancements to our existing products in order to remain competitive.
IF OUR TECHNOLOGIES AND PRODUCTS CONTAIN DEFECTS OR OTHERWISE DO NOT WORK AS EXPECTED, WE MAY
INCUR SIGNIFICANT EXPENSES IN ATTEMPTING TO CORRECT THESE DEFECTS OR IN DEFENDING LAWSUITS OVER
ANY SUCH DEFECTS.
Software products are not currently accurate in every instance, and may never be. Furthermore, we could inadvertently release products and
technologies that contain defects. In addition, third-party technology that we include in our products could contain defects. We may incur
significant expenses to correct such defects. Clients who are not satisfied with our products or services could bring claims against us for
substantial damages. Such claims could cause us to incur significant legal expenses and, if successful, could result in the plaintiffs being awarded
significant damages. Our payment of any such expenses or damages could prevent us from becoming profitable.
OUR SUCCESS IS HIGHLY DEPENDENT UPON OUR ABILITY TO COMPETE AGAINST COMPETITORS THAT HAVE
SIGNIFICANTLY GREATER RESOURCES THAN WE HAVE.
The financial accounting software, EDI software, and business consulting industries are highly competitive, and we believe that this competition
will intensify. Many of our competitors have longer operating histories, significantly greater financial, technical, product development and
marketing resources, greater name recognition and larger client bases than we do. Our competitors could use these resources to market or
develop products or services that are more effective or less costly than any or all of our products or services or that could render any or all of our
products or services obsolete. Our competitors could also use their economic strength to influence the market to continue to buy their existing
products.
8
Table of Contents
IF WE ARE NOT ABLE TO PROTECT OUR TRADE SECRETS THROUGH ENFORCEMENT OF OUR CONFIDENTIALITY AND
NON-COMPETITION AGREEMENTS, THEN WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO COMPETE EFFECTIVELY AND WE MAY NOT BE
PROFITABLE.
We attempt to protect our trade secrets, including the processes, concepts, ideas and documentation associated with our technologies, through the
use of confidentiality agreements and non-competition agreements with our current employees and with other parties to whom we have divulged
such trade secrets. If the employees or other parties breach our confidentiality agreements and non-competition agreements or if these agreements
are not sufficient to protect our technology or are found to be unenforceable, our competitors could acquire and use information that we consider
to be our trade secrets and we may not be able to compete effectively. Some of our competitors have substantially greater financial, marketing,
technical and manufacturing resources than we have, and we may not be profitable if our competitors are also able to take advantage of our trade
secrets.
WE MAY UNINTENTIONALLY INFRINGE ON THE PROPRIETARY RIGHTS OF OTHERS.
Many lawsuits currently are being brought in the software industry alleging violation of intellectual property rights. Although we do not believe
that we are infringing on any patent rights, patent holders may claim that we are doing so. Any such claim would likely be time-consuming and
expensive to defend, particularly if we are unsuccessful, and could prevent us from selling our products or services. In addition, we may also be
forced to enter into costly and burdensome royalty and licensing agreements.
OUR PRESIDENT CONTROLS A SIGNIFICANT PERCENTAGE OF OUR CAPITAL STOCK AND HAS SUFFICIENT VOTING
POWER TO CONTROL THE VOTE ON SUBSTANTIALLY ALL CORPORATE MATTERS.
As of December 31, 2012, Mark Meller, our President and Chief Executive Officer, beneficially owned approximately 76% of our outstanding
shares of our Class A common stock, par value $.00001 (the “Class A Common Stock” or “Common Stock”). Mr. Meller may be able to
influence all matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions. This
concentration of ownership, which is not subject to any voting restrictions, could limit the price that investors might be willing to pay for
our Common Stock. In addition, Mr. Meller is in a position to impede transactions that may be desirable for other stockholders. Mr. Meller’s
majority ownership, for example, could make it more difficult for anyone to take control of us.
On September 23, 2011, SilverSun Technologies, Inc., entered into a Series B preferred stock purchase agreement (the “Preferred Stock
Purchase Agreement”) with Mr. Meller (the “Series B Holder”), pursuant to which Mr. Meller was issued one authorized share of Series B
Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred”), par value $0.001 per share. Mr. Meller was issued one share of Series B Preferred as partial
consideration for personally guaranteeing repayment of the Notes.
The one (1) share of the Series B Preferred shall have voting rights equal to (x) the total issued and outstanding Common Stock and preferred
stock eligible to vote at the time of the respective vote divided by (y) forty nine one-hundredths (0.49) minus (z) the total issued and outstanding
Common Stock and preferred stock eligible to vote at the time of the respective vote. For the avoidance of doubt, if the total issued and
outstanding Common Stock eligible to vote at the time of the respective vote is 5,000,000, the voting rights of the Series B Preferred shall be
equal to 5,204,082 (e.g. (5,000,000 / 0.49) – 5,000,000 = 5,204,082). At December 31, 2012 voting rights of 121,724,440 shares are
associated with Series B Preferred and are included as part of the beneficial ownership calculation.
OUR INDUSTRY IS CHARACTERIZED BY RAPID TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGE AND FAILURE TO ADAPT OUR PRODUCT
DEVELOPMENT TO THESE CHANGES MAY CAUSE OUR PRODUCTS TO BECOME OBSOLETE.
We participate in a highly dynamic industry characterized by rapid change and uncertainty relating to new and emerging technologies and
markets. Future technology or market changes may cause some of our products to become obsolete more quickly than expected.
THE TREND TOWARD CONSOLIDATION IN OUR INDUSTRY MAY IMPEDE OUR ABILITY TO COMPETE EFFECTIVELY.
As consolidation in the software industry continues, fewer companies dominate particular markets, changing the nature of the market and
potentially providing consumers with fewer choices. Also, many of these companies offer a broader range of products than us, ranging from
desktop to enterprise solutions. We may not be able to compete effectively against these competitors. Furthermore, we may use strategic
acquisitions, as necessary, to acquire technology, people and products for our overall product strategy. The trend toward consolidation in our
industry may result in increased competition in acquiring these technologies, people or products, resulting in increased acquisition costs or the
inability to acquire the desired technologies, people or products. Any of these changes may have a significant adverse effect on our future
revenues and operating results.

Table of Contents
WE FACE INTENSE PRICE-BASED COMPETITION FOR LICENSING OF OUR PRODUCTS WHICH COULD REDUCE PROFIT
MARGINS.
Price competition is often intense in the software market. Price competition may continue to increase and become even more significant in the
future, resulting in reduced profit margins.
IF WE LOSE THE SERVICES OF ANY OF OUR KEY PERSONNEL, INCLUDING OUR CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD OF
DIRECTORS OR CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER, OUR BUSINESS MAY SUFFER.
We are dependent on Mark Meller, our Chief Executive Officer and our key employees in our operating subsidiary, specifically Jeffrey
Roth. The loss of any of our key personnel could materially harm our business because of the cost and time necessary to retain and train a
replacement. Such a loss would also divert management attention away from operational issues. In an attempt to minimize the effects of such
loss, we presently maintain a $1,000,000 key-man term life insurance policies on Mr. Meller and Mr. Roth.
WE DO NOT EXPECT TO PAY DIVIDENDS IN THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE.
We intend to retain any future earnings to finance the growth and development of our business. Therefore, we do not expect to pay any cash
dividends in the foreseeable future. Any future dividends will depend on our earnings, if any, and our financial requirements.
Risks Related to Our Common Stock
OUR COMMON STOCK IS THINLY TRADED AND WE CANNOT PREDICT THE EXTENT TO WHICH A MORE ACTIVE
TRADING MARKET WILL DEVELOP.
Our Common Stock is thinly traded compared to larger more widely known companies. Thinly traded Common Stock can be more volatile than
Common Stock trading in an active public market. We cannot predict the extent to which an active public market for the Common Stock will
develop or be sustained after this offering.
IF WE NEED ADDITIONAL CAPITAL TO FUND OUR GROWING OPERATIONS, WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO OBTAIN
SUFFICIENT CAPITAL AND MAY BE FORCED TO LIMIT THE SCOPE OF OUR OPERATIONS.
If adequate additional financing is not available on reasonable terms, we may not be able to continue our marketing efforts and we would have to
modify our business plans accordingly. There is no assurance that additional financing will be available to us.
In connection with our growth strategies and plan of operation, we may experience increased capital needs and accordingly, we may not have
sufficient capital to fund our future operations without additional capital investments. Our capital needs will depend on numerous factors,
including (i) our profitability; (ii) the release of competitive products and services by our competition; (iii) the level of our investment in research
and development; and (iv) the amount of our capital expenditures, including acquisitions. We cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain
capital in the future to meet our needs.
Even if we do find a source of additional capital, we may not be able to negotiate terms and conditions for receiving the additional capital that are
acceptable to us. Any future capital investments could dilute or otherwise materially and adversely affect the holdings or rights of our existing
shareholders. In addition, new equity or convertible debt securities issued by us to obtain financing could have rights, preferences and privileges
senior to our Common Stock. We cannot give you any assurance that any additional financing will be available to us, or if available, will be on
terms favorable to us.
THE PRICE OF OUR STOCK MAY BE AFFECTED BY A LIMITED TRADING VOLUME AND MAY FLUCTUATE
SIGNIFICANTLY.
There has been a limited public market for our Common Stock and there can be no assurance that an active trading market for our stock will
continue. An absence of an active trading market could adversely affect our stockholders' ability to sell our Common Stock in short time periods,
or possibly at all. Our Common Stock has experienced significant price and volume fluctuations which could adversely affect the market price
of our stock without regard to our operating performance. In addition, we believe that factors such as quarterly fluctuations in our financial
results and changes in the overall economy or the condition of the financial markets could cause the price of our Common Stock to fluctuate
substantially.

OUR COMMON STOCK IS DEEMED TO BE "PENNY STOCK," WHICH MAY MAKE IT MORE DIFFICULT FOR INVESTORS
TO SELL THEIR SHARES DUE TO SUITABILITY REQUIREMENTS.
Our Common Stock is deemed to be "penny stock" as that term is defined in Rule 3a51-1 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934. These requirements may reduce the potential market for our Common Stock by reducing the number of potential investors. This may
make it more difficult for investors in our Common Stock to sell shares to third parties or to otherwise dispose of them. This could cause our
stock price to decline. Penny stocks are stock:
·
·
·
·
With a price of less than $5.00 per share;
That are not traded on a "recognized" national exchange;
Whose prices are not quoted on the NASDAQ automated quotation system (NASDAQ listed stock must still have a price of not less
than $5.00 per share); or
In issuers with net tangible assets less than $2.0 million (if the issuer has been in continuous operation for at least three years) or $5.0
million (if in continuous operation for less than three years), or with average revenues of less than $6.0 million for the last three years.
Broker/dealers dealing in penny stocks are required to provide potential investors with a document disclosing the risks of penny
stocks. Moreover, broker/dealers are required to determine whether an investment in a penny stock is a suitable investment for a prospective
investor.
AS AN ISSUER OF “PENNY STOCK,” THE PROTECTION PROVIDED BY THE FEDERAL SECURITIES LAWS RELATING TO
FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS DOES NOT APPLY TO US.
Although federal securities laws provide a safe harbor for forward-looking statements made by a public company that files reports under the
federal securities laws, this safe harbor is not available to issuers of penny stocks. As a result, the Company will not have the benefit of this safe
harbor protection in the event of any legal action based upon a claim that the material provided by the Company contained a material misstatement
of fact or was misleading in any material respect because of the Company’s failure to include any statements necessary to make the statements not
misleading. Such an action could hurt our financial condition.
FUTURE SALES OF OUR COMMON STOCK COULD CAUSE OUR STOCK PRICE TO DECLINE.
The sale of a large number of our shares, or the perception that such a sale may occur, could lower our stock price. Such sales could make it
more difficult for us to sell equity securities in the future at a time and price that we consider appropriate.
ISSUANCE OF OUR RESERVED SHARES OF COMMON STOCK MAY SIGNIFICANTLY DILUTE THE EQUITY INTEREST OF
EXISTING STOCKHOLDERS.
We have reserved for issuance shares of our Common Stock upon exercise or conversion of stock options, warrants, or other convertible
securities that are presently outstanding. Issuance of these shares will have the effect of diluting the equity interest of our existing stockholders
and could have an adverse effect on the market price for our Common Stock.
WE HAVE NOT PAID DIVIDENDS IN THE PAST AND DO NOT EXPECT TO PAY DIVIDENDS FOR THE FORESEEABLE
FUTURE. ANY RETURN ON INVESTMENT MAY BE LIMITED TO THE VALUE OF OUR COMMON STOCK.
No cash dividends have been paid on the Company’s Common Stock. We expect that any income received from operations will be devoted to our
future operations and growth. The Company does not expect to pay cash dividends in the near future. Payment of dividends would depend upon
our profitability at the time, cash available for those dividends, and other factors as the Company’s board of directors may consider relevant. If
the Company does not pay dividends, the Company’s Common Stock may be less valuable because a return on an investor’s investment will
only occur if the Company’s stock price appreciates.

Item 2. Description of Property.
We do not own any real property for use in our operations or otherwise. Our main offices are at 5 Regent Street, Livingston, NJ 07039 where
we have 6,986 square feet of office space at a monthly rent of $7,423. The Company entered into a two-year lease, with a one-year extension, for
office space at 6834 Buckley Road, North Syracuse, New York, at a monthly rent of $2,100. The Company also leases 2700 square feet of
office space in Skokie, IL for three-year period ended April 2013 with a monthly rent of $2,500 in year one, $3,000 in year two, and $3,500 in
year three. We use our facilities to house our corporate headquarters and operations and believe our facilities are suitable for such purpose. We
also believe that our insurance coverage adequately covers our interest in our leased space. We have a good relationship with our landlords and
believe that these facilities will adequately serve our business purposes for the foreseeable future.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings.
We are currently not involved in any litigation that we believe could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of
operations. There is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by any court, public board, government agency, self-regulatory
organization or body pending or, to the knowledge of the executive officers of our company or any of our subsidiaries, threatened against or
affecting our company, our Common Stock, any of our subsidiaries or of our companies or our subsidiaries’ officers or directors in their
capacities as such, in which an adverse decision could have a material adverse effect.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
This annual report on Form 10-K and other reports filed by SilverSun Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) from time to time with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) contain or may contain forward-looking statements and information that are based upon
beliefs of, and information currently available to, the Company’s management as well as estimates and assumptions made by Company’s
management. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which are only predictions and speak only
as of the date hereof. When used in the filings, the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “future,” “intend,” “plan,” or the negative
of these terms and similar expressions as they relate to the Company or the Company’s management identify forward-looking statements. Such
statements reflect the current view of the Company with respect to future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions, and other
factors, including the risks contained in the “Risk Factors” section of the this Annual Report on Form 10-K., relating to the Company’s industry,
the Company’s operations and results of operations, and any businesses that the Company may acquire. Should one or more of these risks or
uncertainties materialize, or should the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may differ significantly from those anticipated,
believed, estimated, expected, intended, or planned.

Table of Contents
Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, the Company cannot guarantee
future results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United
States, the Company does not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results.
Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). These
accounting principles require us to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions. We believe that the estimates, judgments and assumptions
upon which we rely are reasonable based upon information available to us at the time that these estimates, judgments and assumptions are
made. These estimates, judgments and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial
statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Our financial statements would be affected to
the extent there are material differences between these estimates and actual results. In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular
transaction is specifically dictated by GAAP and does not require management’s judgment in its application. There are also areas in which
management’s judgment in selecting any available alternative would not produce a materially different result. The following discussion should be
read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report.
Overview
The Company focuses on the business software and information technology consulting market, and is looking to acquire other companies in this
industry. SWK Technologies, Inc. (“SWK Technologies”), the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary and the sole source of the Company’s
revenue, is a New Jersey-based information technology subsidiary of the Company, value added reseller, and master developer of licensed
accounting and financial software published by Sage Software. SWK Technologies also publishes 36 proprietary software solutions and
enhancements, including its supply-chain software, the Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) solution “MAPADOC.” SWK Technologies sells
services and products to various end users, manufacturers, wholesalers and distribution industry clients located throughout the United States,
along with network services provided by the Company.
We continue to develop and increase our existing business by aggressively seeking new business and offering solutions to our customers,
including our own proprietary software. We specialize in ERP software sales and implementation, programming, and training and technical
support, aimed at improving the financial reporting and operational efficiencies of small and medium sized companies. The sale of our financial
accounting software and programming services are sold to corporations nationwide.
Additionally, it is our intention to increase our business by seeking additional opportunities through potential acquisitions, partnerships or
investments. Such acquisitions, partnerships or investments may consume cash reserves or require additional cash or equity. Our working
capital and additional funding requirements will depend upon numerous factors, including: (i) strategic acquisitions or investments; (ii) an
increase to current company personnel; (iii) the level of resources that we devote to sales and marketing capabilities; (iv) technological advances;
and (v) the activities of competitors.
In June 2012 the Company completed the purchase of selected assets and obligations of HighTower, Inc., a leading Chicago-based reseller of
Sage software applications and a publisher of proprietary business management software enhancements. HighTower’s customers and business
products and services have been integrated into the infrastructure of SWK Technologies, SilverSun’s principal operating subsidiary. In addition
to the strategic benefits that this acquisition affords the Company, it brought SilverSun and SWK approximately $1,145,000 of revenues in
2012, approximately 870 additional Sage ERP customers, an impressive suite of proprietary enhancement software solutions (with approximately
700 users) and a much deeper market penetration in the Midwest. Moreover, we look forward to leveraging Hightower’s established network of
independent resellers to further expand distribution of SWK’s proprietary software solutions, and vice versa. This acquisition marks an important
milestone for SilverSun, and one that should have notable impact on our revenue and earnings growth in 2012 and well beyond.
During 2011 SWK Technologies, Inc., also acquired the Sage software customer accounts of IncorTech, a Southern California-based Sage
business partner. This transaction increases the Company’s geographical influence. The focus in Southern California will be to sell and support
our MAPADOC integrated EDI solution and to market Sage ERP X3 to both former IncorTech customers, where suitable, and to new prospects.
IncorTech has provided professional accounting, technology, and business consulting services to over 300 clients.
In June 2012, SWK Technologies, Inc. also acquired the sage software customer accounts of MicroPoint, a New York-based Sage business
partner. MicroPoint has provided professional accounting, technology, and business consulting services to over 32 clients.
With acquisitions serving as a key component of SilverSun’s national expansion strategy, the Company will continue to remain very busy
qualifying and pursuing opportunities to continue its growth and add to shareholder value.

Revenues
Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2012 increased $2,656,905 (25.3%) to $13,178,985 as compared to $10,522,080 for the year ended
December 31, 2011. These revenues were all generated by the Company’s wholly-owned operating subsidiary, SWK Technologies. This
increase is attributed to revenues associated with its newly acquired operation HTI of approximately $1,145,000, of which approximately
$192,000 was service revenue, as well as an increase in revenues from its existing customer base. The overall increase is primarily due to the
continued marketing efforts and very competitive pricing as well as the Company’s strategy to increase its business by seeking additional
opportunities through potential acquisitions, partnerships or investments. The increase in the Company’s maintenance support business of
$1,716,008 (89.2%) to $3,640,573 for the year ended December 31, 2012 represents a significant portion of and a great foundation for potential
future growth.
Gross Profit
Gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2012 increased $836,480 (18.6%) to $5,334,100 as compared to $4,497,620 for the year ended
December 31, 2011. The increase in gross profit for this period is mostly attributed to the recent acquisition of HTI as well as the higher level of
sales. For the year ended December 31, 2012, the gross profit percentage was 40.5% as compared to 42.7% for the year ended December 31,
2011. The mix of products being sold by the Company changes from time to time and sometimes causes the overall gross margin percentage to
vary. The change in sales mix year ended December 31, 2012, resulted in gross profit being slightly lower as a percent of sales as compared to
the year ended December 31, 2011, primarily a result of higher software sales, which sales have a lower gross profit. In addition, the Company,
when acquiring business accounts from other resellers, will often enter into revenue sharing agreements for a period of time with the selling
reseller. The Company currently has 12 revenue sharing agreements, which often have the result of reducing the Company’s reported gross
margins.
Operating Expenses
Selling and marketing expenses increased $458,434 (24.9%) to $2,302,258 for the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to $1,843,824 for
the year ended December 31, 2011 as a result of the continued increase in sales activity and incremental expenses associated with HTI.
General and administrative expenses increased $579,738 (25.2%) to $2,876,456 for the year ended December 31, 2012 as compared to
$2,296,718 for the year ended December 31, 2011 primarily as a result of increases in payroll related expenses as the Company hired additional
employees to support the higher sales activity, rent, investment banking, investor relations and insurance expenses.
On January 4, 2012, in accordance with options granted in January 2011, Mr. Meller sold portions of his Convertible Note payable to certain
employees of SWK Technologies, Inc. in the amount of $13,235. On January 4, 2012, Mr. Meller converted $30,458 of the Convertible Note
into 60,154,178 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, and those certain employees converted the $13,238 into 23,139,523 shares of the
Company’s Common Stock. As a consequence the Company recognized $719,267 of share-based compensation expense in 2012. Additionally,
during the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company recognized $416,991 of share-based compensation as a result of the granting of stock
options to most of its non-executive employees.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased $98,550 for the year ended December 31, 2012 to $195,560 as compared to $97,011 for the
year ended December 31, 2011. This increase is primarily attributed to the increase in amortization associated with the newly acquired intangible
assets.
Income (Loss) from Operations
Total net loss from operations was $1,176,432 for the year ended December 31, 2012 as compared to net income from operations of $260,057
for the year ended December 31, 2011 primarily attributed to non-cash share-based compensation of $1,136,258 as discussed above.
Other Income (Expense)
For the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company had other expense of $58,738 as compared to other income for the year ended December
31, 2011 of $2,448,864. This change is primarily attributed to the gain on the extinguishment of debt and derivative liability for the year ended
December 31, 2011.
Net Income (Loss)
For year ended December 31, 2012, the Company had a net loss of $1,235,170 as compared to net income of $2,708,931 for the year ended
December 31, 2011, The change is attributed to the non-cash share-based compensation expense in 2012 and the gain on the extinguishment of
debt and derivative liability realized in 2011 which was not available in 2012.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
We are currently seeking additional operating income opportunities through potential acquisitions or investments. Such acquisitions or
investments may consume cash reserves or require additional cash or equity. Our working capital and additional funding requirements will
depend upon numerous factors, including: (i) strategic acquisitions or investments; (ii) an increase to current company personnel; (iii) the level of
resources that we devote to sales and marketing capabilities; (iv) technological advances; and (v) the activities of competitors.
In addition to developing new products, obtaining new customers and increasing sales to existing customers, management plans to increase its
business and profitability by entering into collaboration agreements, buying assets, and acquiring companies in the business software and
information technology consulting market with solid revenue streams, established customer bases that generate positive cash flow.
In October 2011, the Company obtained a line of credit from a bank. The agreement included a borrowing base calculation tied to accounts
receivable with a maximum availability of $750,000. Interest on outstanding balances is payable daily at an interest rate that is two and three
quarter percentage points (2.75%) above the Prime Rate. The Company’s interest rate was 6% at December 31, 2012. The line was collateralized
by substantially all of the assets of the Company and is personally guaranteed by the Company’s Chief Executive Office, Mr. Mark Meller. The
credit facility required the Company to pay a monitoring fee of 0.315% of eligible collateral to be paid monthly. An annual facility fee equal to
one percent (1%) of the Maximum Credit is assessed upon the initial funding, annually thereafter. The term of the agreement is for three years
and expires in October 2014. As of December 31, 2012, the Company has an outstanding balance of $178,633. As of December 31, 2012, the
availability under this line was $571,367. At December 31, 2012, the Company was in compliance with the required financial covenants, the
fixed charge ratio and debt to net worth.
During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company had a net decrease in cash of $229,239. The Company’s principal sources and uses of
funds were as follows:
Cash used in operating activities
The Company provided $392,803 in cash from operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2012 as compared to providing $905,906 of
cash for operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2011. This decrease in cash provided by operating activities is primarily attributed to
an increase in accounts receivable and a decrease in deferred revenues offset partially by an increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities.
Cash used in investing activities
Investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2012 used cash of $744,374 as compared to using $40,653 of cash for the year ended
December 31, 2011. This increase in cash used is attributed to the increase in purchases of property and equipment, software development costs
and intangible assets, including the acquisition of selected assets of HighTower.
Cash provided by financing activities
Financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2012 provided cash of $122,332 as compared to using $735,875 of cash for the year ended
December 31, 2011. This increase in cash provided by financing activities is attributed to proceeds from the line of credit and as compared to
receiving proceeds from the promissory notes and convertible debenture offset by the repayment of convertible debentures during the year ended
December 31, 2011.
The Company believes that as a result of the growth in business, recent acquisitions, and the availability of its credit line, it has adequate liquidity
to fund its operating plans for at least the next twelve months.
There was no significant impact on the Company’s operations as a result of inflation for the year ended December 31, 2012.
Critical Accounting Policies
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our financial statements, which have been prepared
in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). The preparation of these financial
statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate these estimates, including those related to bad debts, inventory
obsolescence, intangible assets, payroll tax obligations, and litigation. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other
assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the
carrying values of certain assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
17
Table of Contents
We have identified below the accounting policies, revenue recognition and software costs, related to what we believe are most critical to our
business operations and are discussed throughout Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition or Plan of Operation where
such policies affect our reported and expected financial results.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized when products are shipped, or services are rendered, evidence of a contract exists, the price is fixed or reasonably
determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured.
Product Revenue
Software product revenue is recognized when the product is shipped to the customer. The Company treats the software component and the
professional services consulting component as two separate arrangements that represent separate units of accounting. The arrangement
consideration is allocated to each unit of accounting based upon that unit’s proportion of the fair value. In a situation where both components are
present, software sales revenue is recognized when collectability is reasonably assured and the product is delivered and has stand-alone value
based upon vendor specific objective evidence.
Service Revenue
Service revenue is comprised of primarily professional service consulting revenue, maintenance revenue and other ancillary services provided as
described below. Professional service revenue is recognized as service time is incurred.
With respect to maintenance services, upon the completion of one year from the date of sale, considered to be the warranty period, the Company
offers customers an optional annual software maintenance and support agreement for subsequent one-year periods. Maintenance and support
agreements are recorded as deferred revenue and recognized over the respective terms of the agreements, which typically range from three months
to one year and are included in service revenue in the Consolidated Statement of Operations
Shipping and handling costs charged to customers are classified as revenue, and the shipping and handling costs incurred are included in cost of
sales.
Accounts receivable
The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and adjusts credit limits based on customer payment and current credit
worthiness, as determined by review of their current credit information. The Company continuously monitors credits and payments from its
customers and maintains provision for estimated credit losses based on its historical experience and any specific customer issues that have been
identified. While such credit losses have historically been within our expectation and the provision established, the Company cannot guarantee
that it will continue to receive positive results.
Intangible Assets
The values assigned to intangible assets are based on an independent valuation. Purchased intangible assets are amortized over the useful lives
based on the estimate of the use of economic benefit of the asset using the straight-line amortization method.
The Company assesses potential impairment of its intangible assets when there is evidence that recent events or changes in circumstances have
made recovery of an asset’s carrying value unlikely. Factors the Company considers important, which may cause impairment include, among
others, significant changes in the manner of use of the acquired asset, negative industry or economic trends, and significant underperformance
relative to historical or projected operating results.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

Our financial statements are contained in pages F-1 through F-27 which appear at the end of this Annual Report.
Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.
None.
Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure and Control Procedures
The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure (i) that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the
reports the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods
specified in the SEC’s rules and forms; and (ii) that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under
the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer, or persons
performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls
and procedures as of December 31, 2012, and concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective as a whole.
(b) Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining an adequate system of internal control over financial reporting, as
defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable
assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles (“GAAP”).
Because of its inherent limitations, a system of internal control over financial reporting can provide only reasonable assurance of such reliability
and may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projection of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods is subject to the risk that
controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may
deteriorate.
Management has conducted, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Principal Accounting Officer, an assessment of the
effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012. Management’s assessment of internal control over
financial reporting used the criteria set forth in SEC Release 33-8810 based on the framework established by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control over Financial Reporting – Guidance for Smaller Public Companies.
Based on this evaluation, Management concluded that our system of internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31,
2012, based on these criteria.
(c) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act,
during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control
over financial reporting.
Item 9B. Other Information.

On June 28, 2011, the Board of the Company adopted by resolution an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Bylaws of the Company to allow
the Company, in the event that fractional equity interests are created, to issue one (1) full share of capital stock of the Company in lieu of a
fractional share of capital stock in the event that fractional equity interests are created. Prior to the Amendment, the Bylaws only allowed the
Company to: (i) arrange for the disposition of fractional interests by those entitled thereto; (ii) pay in cash the fair value of a fraction of a share as
of the time when those entitled to receive such fractional shares are determined; or (iii) issue scrip or warrants in registered form (represented by a
certificate or uncertificated) or bearer form (represented by a certificate) which entitles the holder to receive one (1) full share of capital stock upon
the surrender of such scrip or warrant.
Pursuant to our certificate of incorporation, as amended, we are authorized to issue up to: 750,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock, par
value $0.00001 per share; 50,000,000 shares of Class B common stock, par value $.00001 per share and 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par

rata. Each holder of Class A Common Stock is entitled to receive ratably any dividends declared by our board of directors out of funds legally

entitled to receive dividends in the same proportion as the Class B Common Stock conversion and voting rights have to Class A Common Stock.
There are 50,000,000 shares authorized and there were no shares issued and outstanding as of March 26, 2013, nor does the Company have any
plans to issue Class B Common Stock in the immediate future. Upon our liquidation, dissolution, or winding-up, holders of Class B Common

five (1,975) shares of Class A Common Stock for each one (1) share of Class B Common Stock.

The Company’s certificate of incorporation authorizes the issuance of 1,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, par value $.001 per share.
Our board of directors is authorized (by resolution and by filing an amendment to our certificate of incorporation and subject to limitations
prescribed by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware) to issue, from to time, shares of Preferred Stock in one or more series, to

whether that series has voting rights, in addition to voting rights provided by law, and, if so, the terms of those voting rights;
whether that series has conversion privileges, and, if so, the terms and conditions of conversion, including provisions for adjusting the
conversion rate in such events as our board of directors determines;
whether or not the shares of that series are redeemable, and, if so, the terms and conditions of redemption, including the dates upon or
after which they are redeemable, and the amount per share payable in case of redemption, which amount may vary under different

the rights of the shares of that series in the event of voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company,
and the relative rights of priority, if any, of payment of shares of that series; and
any other relative powers, preferences and rights of that series, and qualifications, limitations or restrictions on that series.

The Company has the right to convert, at its sole option, each share of Series A into Class A Common Stock equal to 1% of the outstanding
shares of Common Stock at the time of conversion. The Company valued the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock at $22,886 representing 1%
of the outstanding shares deliverable multiplied by the fair market value of the stock on the date of issuance and recorded as debt discount,
which has been amortized to interest expense during 2011. Each one share of Series A Preferred shall entitle the Series A Holder to voting
rights equal to 2,666,667 votes of Common Stock.
On January 12, 2012, the Series A Convertible was converted into 2,385,650 shares of Common Stock. As of December 31, 2012, no shares

The one (1) share of the Series B Preferred shall have voting rights equal to (x) the total issued and outstanding Common Stock and preferred
stock eligible to vote at the time of the respective vote divided by (y) forty nine one-hundredths (0.49) minus (z) the total issued and outstanding
Common Stock and preferred stock eligible to vote at the time of the respective vote. For the avoidance of doubt, if the total issued and
outstanding Common Stock eligible to vote at the time of the respective vote is 5,000,000, the voting rights of the Series B Preferred Stock shall
be equal to 5,204,082 (e.g. (5,000,000 / 0.49) – 5,000,000 = 5,204,082).

Director Independence
The common stock of the Company is currently quoted on the OTCBB, an exchange which currently does not have director independence

director or executive officer, or any member of his or her immediate family, have a direct or indirect material interest in accordance with Item
407(a) of Regulation S-K. Following completion of these disclosures, the Board will make an annual determination as to the independence of
each director using the current standards for “independence” that satisfy both the criteria for the Nasdaq and the American Stock Exchange.
As of December 31, 2012, the Board determined that Mr. Wunderlich is independent.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
SilverSun Technologies, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of SilverSun Technologies, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of
December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' deficit, and cash flows for each of the two
years in the period ended December 31, 2012. The Company’s management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with standards established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those
standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial
reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over
financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts
and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for
our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of
the Company as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the
period ended December 31, 2012 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Description of Business
SilverSun Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) is an information technology company, and a value added reseller and master developer
for Sage Software’s Sage100/500 and ERP X3 financial and accounting software as well as the publisher of its own proprietary
Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) software, “MAPADOC.” The Company focuses on the business software and information
technology consulting market, and is looking for other opportunities to grow its business. The Company sells services and products to
various end users, manufacturers, wholesalers and distributor industry clients located throughout the United States. In June 2011, the
Company changed its name from Trey Resources, Inc. to SilverSun Technologies, Inc. The Company is publicly traded and is currently
quoted on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board (“OTCBB”) under the symbol “SSNT.”
In June 2012 the Company completed the purchase of selected assets and obligations of HighTower, Inc., a leading Chicago-based
reseller of Sage software applications and a publisher of proprietary business management enhancements.
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of SilverSun Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) and its
majority owned subsidiaries, SWK Technologies, Inc. and BTSG Acquisition Corp. These consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. All significant inter-company transactions and
accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.
Noncontrolling Interest
Noncontrolling interest represents third party ownership in the net assets of our consolidated subsidiaries. For financial reporting
purposes, the assets and liabilities of our majority owned subsidiaries are consolidated with those of our own, with any third party
investor’s interest shown as noncontrolling interest.
On May 6, 2009, the Company sold twenty-five (25) newly issued shares or 20% of the stock of SWK Technologies, Inc. (“SWK”), a
subsidiary of SilverSun Technologies, Inc., for a purchase price of $150,000 to the President of SWK.
On January 12, 2012, SilverSun Technologies, Inc. entered into a share exchange agreement (the “Agreement”) with certain shareholders
and the President (the “SWK Shareholders”) of SWK Technologies, Inc. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the SWK Shareholders
exchanged an aggregate of 25 shares of SWK to the Company for a total of 22,664,678 shares (the “Exchange Shares”) of the
Company’s common stock (the “Exchange”). The shares had a fair value of approximately $612,000 ($0.027 per share) at the time of
exchange. The transaction was recorded as an equity transaction. SWK is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The most significant estimates include:
1. Revenue recognition of software sales
2. Allowance for doubtful accounts
3. Fair market value of share based payments and other equity instruments
4. Valuation of intangible assets

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2012 AND 2011
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized when products are shipped, or services are rendered, evidence of a contract exists, the price is fixed or reasonably
determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured.
Product Revenue
Software product revenue is recognized when the product is shipped to the customer. The Company treats the software component and
the professional services consulting component as two separate arrangements that represent separate units of accounting. The arrangement
consideration is allocated to each unit of accounting based upon that unit’s proportion of the fair value. In a situation where both
components are present, software sales revenue is recognized when collectability is reasonably assured and the product is delivered and
has stand-alone value based upon vendor specific objective evidence.
Service Revenue
Service revenue is comprised of primarily professional service consulting revenue, maintenance revenue and other ancillary services
provided as described below. Professional service revenue is recognized as service time is incurred.
With respect to maintenance services, upon the completion of one year from the date of sale, considered to be the warranty period, the
Company offers customers an optional annual software maintenance and support agreement for subsequent one-year periods.
Maintenance and support agreements are recorded as deferred revenue and recognized over the respective terms of the agreements, which
typically range from three months to one year and are included in services revenue in the Consolidated Statements of Operations
Shipping and handling costs charged to customers are classified as revenue, and the shipping and handling costs incurred are included in
cost of sales.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
The Company maintains cash balances at financial institutions that are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”)
up to federally insured limits. At times balances may exceed FDIC insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in
such accounts.
Concentration of Credit Risk
For the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, our top ten customers represented approximately 17% and 31%, respectively, of our
total revenues of approximately $2,262,000 and $3,211,000. The Company does not rely on any one specific customer for any significant
portion of our revenue base.
For the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, purchases from one supplier were approximately 47% and 22%, respectively, of the
Company’s total cost of revenue.
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of trade accounts receivable
and cash and cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2012 the Company believes it has no significant risk related to its concentration of
accounts receivable.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable consist primarily of invoices for maintenance and professional services. Full payment for software ordered by
customers is due in advance of ordering from the software supplier. Payments for maintenance and support plan renewals are due before
the beginning of the maintenance period. Terms under our professional service agreements are generally 50% due in advance and the
balance on completion of the services.
The Company maintains an allowance estimated by considering a number of factors, including the length of time the amounts are past
due, the Company’s previous loss history, the customer’s current ability to pay its obligations and the condition of the general economy
and the industry as a whole.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2012 AND 2011
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment is stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method based
upon the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally five to seven years. Maintenance and repairs that do not materially add to the value
of the equipment nor appreciably prolong its life are charged to expense as incurred.
When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and the
resulting gain or loss is included in the Statements of Operations.
Deferred Revenues
Deferred revenues consist of maintenance service, customer support services, including telephone support and deposits for future
consulting services which will be earned as services are performed over the contractual or stated period, which generally ranges from
three to twelve months.
Deferred Income Taxes
Deferred income taxes reflects the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for
financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes, as well as operating loss, capital loss and tax credit
carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as current or non-current based on the classification of the related assets or
liabilities for financial reporting, or according to the expected reversal dates of the specific temporary differences, if not related to an asset
or liability for financial reporting. Valuation allowances are established against deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that the
assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in
the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a
change in tax rates or laws is recognized in operations in the period that includes the enactment date.
Income Tax Uncertainties
The calculation of the Company’s tax liabilities involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex tax regulations. The
Company recognizes liabilities for uncertain tax positions based on the two-step process prescribed by applicable accounting principles.
The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more
likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The
second step requires the Company to estimate and measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely of being
realized upon ultimate settlement. It is inherently difficult and subjective to estimate such amounts, as this requires the Company to
determine the probability of various possible outcomes. The Company reevaluates these uncertain tax positions on a quarterly basis. This
evaluation is based on factors including, but not limited to, changes in facts or circumstances, changes in tax law, effectively settled issues
under audit, and new audit activity. Such a change in recognition or measurement would result in the recognition of a tax benefit or an
additional charge to the tax provision in the period. The Company recognizes interest and penalties as incurred in finance income
(expense), net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
There were no liabilities for uncertain tax positions at December 31, 2012 and 2011.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Fair Value Measurement
The Company adopted the provisions of the accounting pronouncement which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring
fair value and enhances fair value measurement disclosure. Under the provisions of the pronouncement, fair value is defined as the price
that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., the “exit price”) in an orderly transaction between market
participants at the measurement date.
The pronouncement establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and
minimizes the use on unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are
inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources
independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions about the assumptions market
participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The
hierarchy is described below:
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for assets or liabilities. The fair value
hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs.
Level 2: Observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted on active markets, but corroborated by market data.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs are used when little or no market data is available. The fair value hierarchy gives the lowest priority to Level
3 inputs.
The Company’s current financial assets and liabilities approximate fair value due to their short term nature and include cash, accounts
receivable, accounts payable, capital leases and line of credit.
Intangible Assets
The values assigned to intangible assets are based on an independent valuation. Purchased intangible assets are amortized over the useful
lives of the asset using the straight-line amortization method.
The Company assesses potential impairment of its intangible assets when there is evidence that recent events or changes in circumstances
have made recovery of an asset’s carrying value unlikely. Factors the Company considers important, which may cause impairment
include, among others, significant changes in the manner of use of the acquired asset, negative industry or economic trends, and
significant underperformance relative to historical or projected operating results.
Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment when circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable.
Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the assets to the future net cash flows
estimated by the Company to be generated by such assets. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is
the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. No impairment losses were identified or
recorded in the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based awards to employees in accordance with applicable accounting principles, which requires
compensation expense related to share-based transactions, including employee stock options, to be measured and recognized in the
financial statements based on a determination of the fair value of the stock options. The grant date fair value is determined using the
Black-Scholes-Merton (“Black-Scholes”) pricing model. For all employee stock options, the Company recognizes expense over the
requisite service period on a straight-line basis over the employee’s requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the equity
grant). The Company’s option pricing model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected stock price
volatility, expected term, and forfeiture rate. Any changes in these highly subjective assumptions significantly impact stock-based
compensation expense.

Earnings per Share
The Company’s basic income (loss) per common share is based on net income (loss) for the relevant period, divided by the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income per common share is based on net income, divided by
the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, including common share equivalents, such as outstanding
stock options and warrants to the extent they are dilutive. Diluted loss per share does not include common stock equivalents, as these
shares would have an anti-dilutive effect.
The computation of EPS is approximately as follows:
Basic net income (loss) per share:
Net income (loss) attributable to common
Stockholders
Weighted-average common shares outstanding
Basic net income (loss) per share attributable to
common stockholders
Diluted net income (loss) per share:

NOTE 6 – INCOME TAXES (continued)
As of December 31, 2012, the Company has net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $7,663,000 that can be utilized to offset
future taxable income for Federal income tax purposes. Net operating loss carry forwards expire starting in 2025 through
2030. Utilization of these net loss carry forwards is subject to the limitations of Internal Revenue Code Section 382. Because of the
current uncertainty of realizing the benefit of the tax carry forward, a valuation allowance equal to the tax benefit for deferred taxes has
been established.
The full realization of the tax benefit associated with the carry forward depends predominantly upon the Company's ability to generate
taxable income during the carry forward period.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities reflect the net tax effect of temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities
for financial reporting purposes and amounts used for income tax purposes.
A reconciliation of the statutory income tax rate to the effective rate is as follows for the period December 31, 2012 and 2011:
Federal income tax rate
State income tax, net of federal benefit
Permanent differences
Effective income tax rate
Effect on valuation allowance

allowance of $600 and an auto allowance of $800. Based on this agreement Mr. Meller’s salary is $424,431. As of December 31, 2012,
Mr. Meller agreed to accept a salary of $370,000 for 2012. The employment agreement with Mr. Meller also provides for a severance
payment to him of three hundred percent (300%), less $100,000 of his gross income for services rendered to the Company in each of the
five prior calendar years should his employment be terminated following a change in control, as defined in the employment agreement
Forgiveness of Debt
On June 29, 2011, Mr. Meller forgave outstanding liabilities representing unpaid salary, unpaid expense and auto allowances, and the
one-time payment ($350,000) in connection with a previous transaction in the amount of $1,338,967. Such amount is recorded as a
contribution of capital in Additional Paid-In Capital in the accompanying balance sheet.
Total amounts owed to Mr. Meller as of December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, representing unpaid salary and accrued interest
totaled $5,942 and $6,355, respectively.
NOTE 9 –NOTES PAYABLE TO RELATED PARTY
On October 19, 2010, the Company borrowed $45,000 in exchange for issuing a Note payable to Mr. Meller. The Note Payable is not
