PART I

Item 1. Business Overview

The Company is engaged in providing transformational business management applications and technologies and professional consulting services to small and medium size companies, primarily in the manufacturing, distribution and service industries.

We are executing a multi-pronged business strategy centered on cloud-based products, services, recurring revenue, customer retention and on rapidly increasing the size of our installed customer base. The growth of our customer base is accomplished via both our traditional marketing programs and acquisitions. After a customer is secured, our strategy is to up-sell and cross-sell, providing the customer with advanced technologies and third-party add-ons that help them digitally transform their business. These add-on products could include application hosting, cybersecurity, warehouse management, human capital management, payment automation, sales tax compliance or any number of other products or services that we represent. Many of these incremental products and services are billed on a subscription basis, often paying monthly for the service, which increases our monthly recurring revenue (“MRR”). This strategy increases the average revenue per customer, which facilitates our continued growth, and reduces our cost of customer acquisition, which enhances our profitability profile.

As a business application, technology and consulting company, we provide strategies and solutions to meet our clients’ information, technology and business management needs. Our services and technologies enable customers to manage, protect and monetize their enterprise assets whether on-premise or in the cloud. As a value-added reseller of business application software, we offer solutions for accounting and business management, financial reporting, Enterprise Resource Planning (“ERP”), Human Capital Management (“HCM”), Warehouse Management Systems (“WMS”), Customer Relationship Management (“CRM”), and Business Intelligence (“BI”). Additionally, we have our own development staff building software solutions for various ERP enhancements. Our value-added services focus on consulting and professional services, specialized programming, training, and technical support. We have a dedicated Information Technology (“IT”) managed services practice that provides cybersecurity, application hosting, disaster recovery, business continuity, cloud and other services. Our customers are nationwide, with concentrations in the New York/New Jersey metropolitan area, Arizona, Connecticut, Southern California, North Carolina, Washington, Oregon and Illinois.

Our core business is divided into the following practice areas:

ERP (Enterprise Resource Management) and Accounting Software

We are a value-added reseller for a number of industry-leading ERP applications. We are a Sage Software Authorized Business Partner and Sage Certified Gold Development Partner. We believe we are among the largest Sage partners in North America, with a sales and implementation presence complemented by a scalable software development practice for customizations and enhancements. Due to the growing demand for cloud-based ERP solutions, we also have in our ERP portfolio Acumatica, a browser-based ERP solution that can be offered on premise, in the public cloud, or in a private cloud, and Sage Intacct, a cloud-based ERP software solution. We develop and resell a variety of add-on solutions to all our ERP and accounting packages that help customize the installation to our customers’ needs and streamline their operations.

Value-Added Services for ERP

We go beyond simply reselling software packages; we have a consulting and professional services organization that manages the process as we move from the sales stage into implementation, go live, and production. We work inside our customers’ organizations to ensure all software and IT solutions are enhancing their business needs. A significant portion of our services revenue comes from continuing to work with existing customers as their business needs change, upgrading from one version of software to another, or providing additional software solutions to help them manage their business and grow their revenue. We have a dedicated help desk team that fields hundreds of calls every week. Our custom programming department builds specialized software packages as well as “off the shelf” enhancements and time and billing software.

Network and Managed Services

We provide comprehensive IT network and managed services designed to eliminate the IT concerns of our customers. Businesses can focus on their core strengths rather than technology issues. We adapt our solutions for virtually any type of business from product and service providers to small businesses with local customers. Our business continuity services provide automatic on-site and off-site backups, complete encryption, and automatic failure testing. We also provide application hosting, IT consulting and managed network services.

Industry Overview

As a value-added reseller of business application software, we offer solutions for accounting and business management, financial reporting, managed services, ERP, HCM, WMS, CRM, and BI. Additionally, we have our own development staff building software solutions for various ERP enhancements. Our value-added services focus on consulting and professional services, specialized programming, training, and technical support. The majority of our customers are small and medium businesses (“SMBs”).

Potential Competitive Strengths

• Independent Software Vendor.  As an independent software vendor we have published integrations between ERPs and third-party products which differentiates us from other business application providers because, as a value-added reseller of the ERPs that our proprietary products integrate with, we have specific software solution expertise in the ERPs we resell, which ensures that our products tightly integrate with the ERPs. We own the intellectual property related to these integrations and sell the solutions both directly and through other software resellers within the Sage network.

• Sage Certified Gold Development Partner. As a Sage Certified Gold Development Partner, we are licensed to customize the source code of the Sage ERPs. Very few resellers are master developers, and in fact, we provide custom programming services for many other resellers. We have full-time programmers on staff, which provides us with a depth and breadth of expertise that we believe very few competitors can match.

• Ability to Recruit, Manage and Retain Quality Personnel. We have a track record of recruiting, managing and retaining skilled labor and our ability to do so represents an important advantage in an industry in which a shortage of skilled labor is often a key limitation for both clients and competitors alike. We recruit skilled labor from competitors and from amongst end users with experience using the various products we sell, whom we then train as consultants. We believe our ability to hire, manage and maintain skilled labor gives us an edge over our competitors as we continue to grow.

• Combination of Hardware/Software Expertise. Many competitors have software solution expertise. Others have network/hardware expertise. We believe we are among the very few organizations with an expertise in both software and hardware, affording us the opportunity to provide turnkey solutions for our customers without the need to bring in additional vendors on a project.

• Technical Expertise. Our geographical reach and substantial technical capabilities afford our clients the ability to customize and tailor solutions to satisfy all of their business needs.

Our Growth Strategy

General

Our strategy is to grow our business through a combination of organic growth of our software applications, technology solutions and managed services, as well as expansion through acquisitions. We have established a national presence via our internal marketing, sales programs, and acquisitions and now have ERP customers throughout most of the United States.

Organic Growth

Our organic growth strategy is to increase our market penetration and client retention through the upgrade of, and expanded sales efforts with our existing products and managed services and development of new and enhanced software and technology solutions. Our client retention is sustained by our providing responsive, ongoing software and technical support and monitoring and maintenance services for both the solutions we sell and other client technology needs we provide.

Repeat business from our existing customer base has been key to our success and we expect it will continue to play a vital role in our growth. We focus on nurturing long-standing relationships with existing customers while also establishing relationships with new customers.

Acquisitions

The markets in which we provide our services are occupied by a large number of competitors, many substantially larger than us, and with significantly greater resources and geographic reach. We believe that to remain competitive, we need to take advantage of acquisition opportunities that arise which may help us achieve greater geographic presence and economies both within our existing footprint and expanded territories. We may also utilize acquisitions, whenever appropriate, to expand our technological capabilities and product offerings. We focus on acquisitions that are profitable and fit seamlessly with our existing operations.

We believe our markets contain a number of attractive acquisition candidates. We foresee expanding through acquisitions of one or more of the following types of software and technology organizations:

Managed Service Providers (“MSPs”). MSPs provide their small and medium-sized business clients with a suite of services, which may include application hosting, cybersecurity, disaster recovery, business continuity, data back-up, and the like. There are hundreds of providers of such services in the U.S., most with annual recurring revenue of less than $10 million. We believe that we may be able to consolidate a number of these MSPs with our existing operation in an effort to become one of the more significant providers of these services in the U.S.

Independent Software Vendors (“ISVs”). ISVs are publishers of both stand-alone software solutions and integrations that integrate with other third-party products. Our interest lies with ISVs selling into the small and medium-sized business marketplace, providing applications addressing e-commerce, mobility, security, and other functionalities. Since we have expertise in both selling directly to end-users and selling through a sales channel, we believe we can significantly enhance the sales volume of any potential acquisition via our existing infrastructure, our sales channel, and our internal marketing programs. There are many ISVs in North America, constituting a large and significant target base for our acquisition efforts.

Value-Added Resellers (“VARs”) of ERP, Human Capital Management (“HCM”), Warehouse Management Systems (“WMS”), CRM and BI Software. VAR’s gross margins are a function of the sales volume they provide a publisher in a twelve (12) month period, and we are currently operating at the highest margins. Smaller resellers who sell less and operate at significantly lower margins, are at a competitive disadvantage to companies such as ours, and are often amenable to creating a liquidity event for themselves by selling to larger organizations. We have benefitted from completing such acquisitions in a number of ways, including but not limited to: (i) garnering new customers to whom we can upsell and cross-sell our broad range of products and services; (ii) gaining technical resources that enhance our capabilities; and (iii) extending our geographic reach.

Our business strategy provides that we will examine the potential acquisition of businesses within and outside our industry. In determining a suitable acquisition candidate, we will carefully analyze a target’s potential to add to and complement our product mix, expand our existing revenue base, improve our margins, expand our geographic coverage, strengthen our management team, add technical resources and expertise, and, above all, improve stockholder returns. More specifically, we have identified the criteria listed below, by which we evaluate potential acquisition targets in an effort to gain the synergies necessary for successful growth of the Company:

● Access to new customers and geographic markets;

● Recurring revenue of the target;

● Opportunity to gain operating leverage and increased profit margins;

● Diversification of sales by customer and/or product;

● Improvements in product/service offerings; and

● Ability to attract public capital and increased investor interest.

We are unable to predict the nature, size or timing of any acquisition. We can give no assurance that we will reach agreement or procure the financial resources necessary to fund any acquisition, or that we will be able to successfully integrate or improve returns as a result of any such acquisition.

7

We continue to seek out and hold preliminary discussions with various acquisition candidates.

On April 1, 2021, SWK Technologies, Inc. (“SWK”) acquired certain assets of CT-Solution, Inc. (“CTS”), a leading Indianapolis-based reseller of Sage Software solutions. Over the last 20 years, CTS has implemented technology applications at prominent manufacturers, distributors, and professional service organizations throughout the Midwest.

On May 1, 2021, SWK acquired certain assets of PeopleSense, Inc. (“PSI”), a leading Chicago-based reseller of Sage Software's human resource management solutions. Over the last 18 years, PSI has implemented HCM solutions to clientele spanning over half of the United States, Canada, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

On January 1, 2022, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Dynamic Tech Services, Inc (“DTS”), a Georgia corporation pursuant to which SWK acquired from DTS certain assets related to the component of DTS’ operations devoted to selling and supporting Acumatica Enterprise Resource Planning solutions.

On January 22, 2022, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire certain assets of NEO3, LLC (“NEO3”), an Ohio-based company related to its Sage 100 and Acumatica operations.

Enterprise Resource Planning Software Strategy

Our ERP software strategy is focused on serving the needs of our expansive installed base of customers for our Sage 100, Sage 500, and Sage BusinessWorks practices, while rapidly growing the number of customers using Acumatica. We currently have approximately 8,000 active ERP customers using one of these solutions, including customers using certain add-on support products to these solutions. In the past, we had focused primarily on on-premise mid-market Sage Software solutions. However, we now focus primarily on cloud ERP solutions. This has allowed us to increase our average deal size and to keep pace with the changing trends that we see in the industry.

Managed Services Strategy

The IT Managed Services market is broadly segmented by types of services, including managed datacenter, managed network, managed mobility, managed infrastructure, managed communications, managed information, managed security and other managed services. In addition, the market is segmented by market verticals, such as public sector, banking, financial services and insurance, education, retail, contact centers and service industries, high tech and telecommunications, healthcare and pharmaceuticals, travel and logistics, manufacturing, energy and utilities among others.

The recent trend in the industry shows that there is a high demand for managed services across every industry vertical. The implementation of managed services can reduce IT costs by 30% to 40% in such enterprises. This enables organizations to have flexibility and technical advantage. Enterprises having their services outsourced look forward to risk sharing and to reduce their IT costs and IT commitments, so that they can concentrate on their core competencies. Organizations implementing managed services have reported almost a 50% to 60% increase in the operational efficiency of their outsourced processes. Enterprises have accepted outsourcing services as a means to enable them to reduce their capital expenditures (CapEx) and free up internal sources. Newer managed services that penetrate almost all the industry domains, along with aggressive pricing in services, are being offered. This results in an increase in the overall revenues of the managed services market. With increasing technological advancements and the cost challenges associated with having the IT services in-house, we believe the future seems optimistic for managed services providers.

Our strategy is to continue to expand our product offerings to the small and medium sized business marketplace, and to increase our scale and capabilities via acquisition throughout the United States, but initially in those regions where we currently have existing offices.

Geographic Expansion

Generally, our technology offerings require some on-premise implementation and support. When we expand into new geographic territories, we prefer to find qualified personnel in an area to augment our current staff of consultants to service our business. The need for hands-on implementation and support may also require investment in additional physical offices and other overhead. We believe our approach is conservative.

We may accelerate expansion if we find complementary businesses that we are able to acquire in other regions. Our marketing efforts to expand into new territories have included attendance at trade shows in addition to personal contact.

Our Products and Services

Enterprise Resource Planning Software

Substantially all our initial sales of ERP financial accounting solutions consist of pre-packaged software and associated services to customers in the United States.

The Company resells ERP software published by Sage Software, including Sage Intacct, Acumatica and other providers for the financial accounting requirements of small- and medium-sized businesses focused on manufacturing, distribution, and professional services, and the delivery of related services from the sales of these products, including installation, implementation, support and training. 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 end-user technical support services through our support/help desk. Our product and technology consultants assist 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 (5) days per week.

Warehouse Management Systems

We are resellers of 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 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 radio frequency hardware, accounting software, shipping systems and warehouse automation equipment.

We market WMS solutions to both our new and existing medium-sized business customers.

IT Managed Network Services and Business Consulting

We provide IT managed services, cybersecurity, business continuity, disaster recovery, 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.

Cybersecurity

We provide enterprise level security services to the mid-market. Our cybersecurity-as-a-service offering includes a security operations center, incident response, cybersecurity assessments, penetration testing, and hacking simulations. The service is particularly well-suited for customers in compliance-driven and regulated industries, including financial services, pension administration, insurance, and the land and title sector.

Application Hosting

We provide hosting services to customers located throughout the country within our own data centers.

9

Product Development

We are continually looking to improve and develop new products. Our product initiatives include various new product offerings, which generally are extensions of existing products. We are using a dual-shore development approach to keep product development costs at a minimum. All our product development is led by U.S. based employees. The project leaders are technical resources who are involved in developing technical specifications, design decisions, usability testing, and transferring the project knowledge to our offshore development team. Several times per week, the product development leadership team meets with our project leaders and development teams to discuss project status, development obstacles, and project timelines.

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 whereby Sage Software appoints us as a non-exclusive partner to market, distribute, and support Sage 100, Sage 500, and Sage Intacct. The Channel Partner Agreement is for a one-year term, and automatically renews for an additional one-year term on the anniversary of the agreement’s effective date. These agreements authorize us to sell these software products to 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 are party to a Master Developers Program License Agreement.

For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, purchases from one supplier through a “channel partner” agreement were approximately 15% and 13% respectively. This channel partner agreement is for a one-year term and automatically renews for an additional one-year term on the anniversary of the agreements effective date. Generally, the Company does not rely on any one specific supplier for all its purchases and maintains relationships with other suppliers that could replace its existing supplier should the need arise.

Customers

We market our products primarily throughout North America. For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the top ten customers accounted for 7% ($3,147,258) and 9% ($3,644,319), respectively, of total revenues. 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 base.

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.

Competition

Our markets are highly fragmented, and the business is characterized by a large number of participants, including several large companies, as well significant number of small, privately-held, local competitors. A significant portion of our revenue is currently derived from requests for proposals (“RFPs”) and price is often an important factor in awarding such agreements. Accordingly, our competitors may underbid us if they elect to price their services aggressively to procure such business. Our competitors may also develop the expertise, experience and resources to provide services that are equal or superior in both price and quality to our services, and we may not be able to enhance our competitive position. The principal competitive factors for our professional services include geographic presence, breadth of service offerings, technical skills, quality of service and industry reputation. We believe we compete favorably with our competitors on the basis of these factors.

10

Human Capital

As of February 6, 2022, we had approximately 172 full time employees with 45 of our employees engaged in sales and marketing activities, 97 employees are engaged in service fulfillment, and 30 employees performing administrative functions.

Human capital management is critical to our ongoing business success, which requires investing in our people. Our aim is to create a highly engaged and motivated workforce where employees are inspired by leadership, engaged in purpose-driven, meaningful work and have opportunities for growth and development. We are committed to creating and maintaining a work environment in which employees are treated with respect and dignity. We value our diverse employees and provide career and professional development opportunities that foster the success of our company. An effective approach to human capital management requires that we invest in talent, development, culture and employee engagement. We aim to create an environment where our employees are encouraged to make positive contributions and fulfill their potential. We emphasize our core values of innovation, encouragement, motivation, and curiosity with our employees to instill our culture and create an environment of growth and positivity.

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 a collective bargaining agreement and we have never experienced a work stoppage.

Our Corporate History

We were incorporated on October 3, 2002, as a wholly owned subsidiary of iVoice, Inc. (“iVoice”). On September 5, 2005, we changed our corporate name to Trey Resources, Inc. On February 11, 2004, the Company was spun off from iVoice and became an independent publicly traded company. In March 2004, Trey Resources, Inc. began trading on the OTCBB under the symbol TYRIA.OB. In June 2011, we changed our name to SilverSun Technologies, Inc., trading under the symbol SSNT.

Prior to June 2004, we were engaged in the design, manufacture, and marketing of specialized telecommunication equipment. On June 2, 2004, our wholly-owned subsidiary, SWK Technologies, Inc. (“SWK”) completed its acquisition of SWK, Inc.

On June 2, 2006, SWK completed the acquisition of certain assets of AMP-Best Consulting, Inc. (“AMP”) of Syracuse, New York. AMP is an information technology company and value-added reseller of licensed ERP software published by Sage Software. AMP 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 acquired Sage’s Software’s customer accounts in connection with IncorTech, LLC (“IncorTech”), a Southern California-based Sage business partner. This transaction increased our geographical influence in Southern California for the sale and support of our MAPADOC integrated EDI solution and the marketing of our Sage EM (formerly Sage ERP X3) to both former IncorTech customers as well as new consumers. IncorTech had previously provided professional accounting, technology, and business consulting services to over 300 clients.

In June 2012, SWK acquired selected assets and obligations of Hightower, Inc., a Chicago-based reseller of Sage software applications. In addition to the strategic geographic benefits that this acquisition brought to SWK, there was also a substantial suite of proprietary enhancement software solutions.

Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, among other things, (i) Merger Sub I shall be merged with and into Rhodium (the “First Merger”) in accordance with Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”). As a result of the First Merger, Merger Sub I shall cease to exist, and Rhodium shall continue as the surviving corporation of the First Merger (the “First Surviving Company”), and (ii) immediately following the First Merger, Rhodium shall be merged with and into Merger Sub II (the “Second Merger” and together with the First Merger, the “Mergers”) in accordance with the DGCL and the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act (“DLLCA”). As a result of the Second Merger, Rhodium shall cease to exist, and Merger Sub II shall continue as the surviving company of the Second Merger (the “Surviving Company”) and as a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of SilverSun which will operate the pre-Merger business of Rhodium through its management of Rhodium Technologies LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Technologies”).

Upon consummation of the Mergers, SilverSun will be structured as an umbrella partnership C-corporation and will have two classes of common stock outstanding, the SilverSun Class A common stock and the SilverSun Class B common stock. The holders of shares of SilverSun Class A common stock and Class B common stock will be entitled to one vote for each share of Class A common stock and Class B common stock, respectively, held of record on all matters on which stockholders are entitled to vote generally. The SilverSun legacy stockholders and option holders (collectively, the “SilverSun Legacy Stockholders”) will retain approximately 6.22% of the outstanding SilverSun Class A common stock (on a fully diluted basis) which, following the Mergers will be approximately 3.2% of the outstanding SilverSun common stock. The Rhodium legacy stockholders and equity holders (collectively, the “Rhodium Legacy Stockholders”) will receive approximately 93.78% of the SilverSun Class A common stock (on a fully diluted basis) which, following the Mergers, will be approximately 96.8% of the SilverSun common stock.

Upon consummation of the Mergers, SilverSun will become the managing member of Technologies. The parties to the Merger Agreement have agreed that for all purposes of the Merger Agreement: (i) the agreed pro forma net equity value of SilverSun after giving effect to the Mergers is $671,875,172 (the “Pro Forma Valuation”), (ii) based on such Pro Forma Valuation, the agreed value of the consideration to be received by the Rhodium Legacy Stockholders is $650,375,000 (the “Rhodium Valuation”) and the agreed value attributable to the SilverSun Legacy Stockholders is $21,500,172, and (iii) the holders of Rhodium’s simple agreements for future equity (“Rhodium SAFEs”) outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time shall receive SilverSun Class A common stock at the effective time of the First Merger based on the Rhodium Valuation.

13

• each share of Rhodium Class B common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the First Merger (other than any dissenting shares or the Excluded Rhodium Shares) will automatically be converted into the right to receive a number of shares of SilverSun Class B common stock equal to the Rhodium Class B Exchange Ratio (as such term is defined in the Merger Agreement);

Each Rhodium RSU that is outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the First Merger and that is not a vested RSU will, as of the effective time of the First Merger , automatically and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be converted into a restricted stock unit award with respect to a number of shares of SilverSun Class A common stock equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the total number of shares of Rhodium Class A common stock subject to such unvested RSU immediately prior to the effective time of the First Merger by (y) the Rhodium Class A Exchange Ratio (each, a “Rhodium Adjusted RSU Award”). Each such Rhodium Adjusted RSU Award will continue to have, and will be subject to, the same terms and conditions (including vesting and settlement terms) as applied to the corresponding unvested RSU immediately prior to the effective time of the First Merger;

For purposes of the foregoing, the “Per Share SilverSun Value” means the volume-weighted average price, rounded to the nearest one-hundredth of a cent, of a share of SilverSun Class A common stock on Nasdaq (as reported by Bloomberg L.P. or, if not reported by Bloomberg L.P., in another authoritative source mutually selected by the parties to the Merger Agreement) in respect of the five consecutive trading day period beginning at 9:30 am (New York City time) on the first day of such trading day period and ending at 4:00 pm (New York City time) on the fifth full trading day prior to the effective time of the Second Merger ; provided, that such measurement period shall not begin prior to the eighth day prior to the effective time of the Second Merger and will not end after the third day prior to the effective time of the Second Merger , in each case, with such adjustments as necessary to reflect the Reverse Stock Split;

In connection with the mergers, SilverSun Technologies Holdings, Inc., a recently formed Delaware corporation and direct wholly owned subsidiary of SilverSun (“SilverSun Holdings”), will enter into that certain Separation and Distribution Agreement (the “Separation Agreement”), whereby all of the issued and outstanding common stock of SilverSun Holdings, which owns all of the issued and outstanding common stock of (i) SWK Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation and indirect wholly owned subsidiary of SilverSun (“SWK”), and (ii) Secure Cloud Services, Inc., a Nevada corporation and indirect wholly owned subsidiary of SilverSun (“SCS”), will be distributed on a pro rata basis to the stockholders of SilverSun as of a record date to be determined by the SilverSun Board (the “Distribution”). Following the Distribution, (a) the businesses of SWK and SCS will continue to be operated consistent with past practices and will be managed by the current management of SilverSun and the current members of the SilverSun Board, and (b) SilverSun Holdings will apply for public listing on the OTCQX of the shares distributed in the Distribution in reliance on a Form 10 registration statement.

In the Distribution, SilverSun stockholders of record on the Dividend and Distribution Record Date will receive shares of SilverSun Holdings common stock on a pro rata basis. SilverSun Holdings will have 5,256,177 shares of common stock issued and outstanding at the time of the Distribution which is the amount of SilverSun common shares that will be issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Reverse Stock Split.

Prior to the effectiveness of the Form 10, SilverSun will contribute all of the issued and outstanding common stock of its wholly owned subsidiaries, SWK and SCS, to SWK Holdings (the “Contribution”). Following the Mergers, SilverSun will consummate the Distribution to the shareholders of SilverSun as of the Dividend and Distribution Record Date, pursuant to the Merger Agreement and Separation Agreement. Consummation of the Distribution is subject to conditions that must be satisfied or waived by SilverSun prior to the completion of the separation.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Risks Relating to our Business

We may incur future losses and may be unable to maintain profitability.

We may incur net losses in the future. Our ability to achieve and sustain long-term profitability is largely dependent on our ability to successfully market and sell our products and services, control our costs, and effectively manage our growth. We cannot assure you that we will be able to maintain profitability. In the event we fail to maintain profitability, our stock price could decline.

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;

● disruption to the Company’s customers and revenue, labor workforce, unavailability of products and supplies used in operations due to the COVID-19 pandemic

● 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;

● 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 need to develop various new technologies, products and product features and remain competitive. Due to the risks inherent in developing new products and technologies — limited financing, 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 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.

18

We may need additional financing which we may not be able to obtain on acceptable terms. If we are unable to raise additional capital, as needed, the future growth of our business and operations could be severely limited.

A limiting factor on our growth is our limited capitalization, which could impact our ability to execute on our business plan. If we raise additional capital through the issuance of debt, this will result in increased interest expense. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity or convertible debt securities, the percentage ownership of the Company held by existing shareholders will be reduced and our shareholders may experience significant dilution. In addition, new securities may contain rights, preferences or privileges that are senior to those of our Common Stock. If additional funds are raised by the issuance of debt or other equity instruments, we may become subject to certain operational limitations (for example, negative operating covenants). There can be no assurance that acceptable financing necessary to further implement our business plan can be obtained on suitable terms, if at all. Our ability to develop our business, fund expansion, develop or enhance products or respond to competitive pressures, could suffer if we are unable to raise the additional funds on acceptable terms, which would have the effect of limiting our ability to increase our revenues or possibly attain profitable operations in the future.

If we fail to maintain an effective system of internal control, we may not be able to report our financial results accurately or to reduce probability of fraud occurrence. Any inability to report and file our financial results accurately and timely could harm our reputation and adversely impact the trading price of our Common Stock.

Effective internal control is necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and prevent fraud. We may not be able to manage our business as effectively as we would if an effective control environment existed, and our business and reputation with investors may be harmed.

Management has concluded that the Company did maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, based on the criteria set forth in 2013 Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the COSO.

We may fail to recruit and retain qualified personnel.

We expect to rapidly expand our operations and grow our sales, development and administrative operations. Accordingly, recruiting and retaining such personnel in the future will be critical to our success. There is intense competition from other companies for qualified personnel in the areas of our activities, particularly sales, marketing and managed services. If we fail to identify, attract, retain and motivate these highly skilled personnel, we may be unable to continue our marketing and managed services activities and service our clients’ needs, and this could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and future prospects.

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 ERP software, MSP 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.

19

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.

Our failure to secure trademark registrations could adversely affect our ability to market our product candidates and our business.

Our trademark applications in the United States and any other jurisdictions where we may file may be denied, and we may not be able to maintain or enforce our registered trademarks. During trademark registration proceedings, we may receive rejections. Although we are given an opportunity to respond to those rejections, we may be unable to overcome such rejections. In addition, with respect to the United States Patent and Trademark Office and any corresponding foreign agencies, third parties are given an opportunity to oppose pending trademark applications and to seek to cancel registered trademarks. Opposition or cancellation proceedings may be filed against our applications and/or registrations, and our applications and/or registrations may not survive such proceedings. Failure to secure such trademark registrations in the United States and in foreign jurisdictions could adversely affect our ability to market our product candidates and our business.

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 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.

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.

20

The software and technology industry is highly competitive. If we cannot develop and market desirable products that the public is willing to purchase, we will not be able to compete successfully. Our business may be adversely affected, and we may not be able to generate any revenues.

We have many potential competitors in the software industry. We consider the competition to be competent, experienced, and may have greater financial and marketing resources than we do. Our ability to compete effectively may be adversely affected by the ability of these competitors to devote greater resources to the development, sales, and marketing of their products than are available to us. Some of the Company’s competitors, also, offer a wider range of software products, have greater name recognition and more extensive customer bases than the Company. These competitors may be able to respond more quickly to new or changing opportunities, customer desires, as well as undertake more extensive promotional activities, offer terms that are more attractive to customers and adopt more aggressive pricing policies than the Company. We cannot provide any assurances that we will be able to compete successfully against present or future competitors or that the competitive pressure we may encounter will not force us to cease operations.

If there are events or circumstances affecting the reliability or security of the internet, access to our website and/or the ability to safeguard confidential information could be impaired causing a negative effect on the financial results of our business operations.

Despite the implementation of security measures, our website infrastructure may be vulnerable to computer viruses, hacking or similar disruptive problems caused by members, other internet users, other connected internet sites, and the interconnecting telecommunications networks. Such problems caused by third-parties could lead to interruptions, delays or cessation of service to our customers. Inappropriate use of the internet by third-parties could also potentially jeopardize the security of confidential information stored in our computer system, which may deter individuals from becoming customers. Such inappropriate use of the internet includes attempting to gain unauthorized access to information or systems, which is commonly known as “cracking” or “hacking.” Although we have implemented security measures, such measures have been circumvented in the past by hackers on other websites on the internet, although our networks have never been breached, and there can be no assurance that any measures we implement would not be circumvented in the future. Dealing with problems caused by computer viruses or other inappropriate uses or security breaches may require interruptions, delays or cessation of service to our customers, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

If we lose the services of any of our key personnel our business may suffer.

We are dependent on Mark Meller, our Chief Executive Officer, and other key employees in our operating subsidiary SWK. 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.

To service our debt obligations, we will require a significant amount of cash. Our ability to generate cash depends on many factors beyond our control. Any failure to repay our outstanding indebtedness as it matures, could materially adversely impact our business, prospects, financial condition, liquidity, results of operations and cash flows.

Our ability to satisfy our debt obligations and repay or refinance our maturing indebtedness will depend principally upon our future operating performance.

As a result, prevailing economic conditions and financial, business, legislative, regulatory and other factors, many of which are beyond our control, will affect our ability to make payments on our debt. If we do not generate sufficient cash flow from operations to satisfy our debt service obligations, we may have to undertake alternative financing plans, such as refinancing or restructuring our debt, incurring additional debt, issuing equity or convertible securities, reducing discretionary expenditures and selling certain assets (or combinations thereof). Our ability to execute such alternative financing plans will depend on the capital markets and our financial condition at such time. In addition, our ability to execute such alternative financing plans may be subject to certain restrictions under our existing indebtedness. Any refinancing of our debt could be at higher interest rates and may require us to comply with more onerous covenants compared to those associated with any debt that is being refinanced, which could further restrict our business operations. Our inability to generate sufficient cash flow to satisfy our debt obligations, or our inability to refinance our debt obligations on commercially reasonable terms or at all, would have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition, liquidity, results of operations and cash flows.

Computer Malware, Viruses, Hacking, Phishing Attacks and Spamming Could Harm Our Business and Results of Operations.

Computer malware, viruses, physical or electronic break-ins and similar disruptions could lead to interruption and delays in our services and operations and loss, misuse or theft of data. Computer malware, viruses, computer hacking and phishing attacks against online networking platforms have become more prevalent and may occur on our systems in the future.

21

Any attempts by hackers to disrupt our website service or our internal systems, if successful, could harm our business, be expensive to remedy and damage our reputation or brand. Our network security business disruption insurance may not be sufficient to cover significant expenses and losses related to direct attacks on our website or internal systems. Efforts to prevent hackers from entering our computer systems are expensive to implement and may limit the functionality of our services. Though it is difficult to determine what, if any, harm may directly result from any specific interruption or attack, any failure to maintain performance, reliability, security and availability of our products and services and technical infrastructure may harm our reputation, brand and our ability to attract customers. Any significant disruption to our website or internal computer systems could result in a loss of customers and could adversely affect our business and results of operations.

We have previously experienced, and may in the future experience, service disruptions, outages and other performance problems due to a variety of factors, including infrastructure changes, third-party service providers, human or software errors and capacity constraints. If our services are unavailable when customers attempt to access them or they do not load as quickly as they expect, customers may seek other services.

Some errors in our software code may only be discovered after the code has been deployed. Any errors, bugs, or vulnerabilities discovered in our code after deployment, inability to identify the cause or causes of performance problems within an acceptable period of time or difficultly maintaining and improving the performance of our platform, particularly during peak usage times, could result in damage to our reputation or brand, loss of revenues, or liability for damages, any of which could adversely affect our business and financial results.

We expect to continue to make significant investments to maintain and improve our software and to enable rapid releases of new features and products. To the extent that we do not effectively address capacity constraints, upgrade our systems as needed and continually develop our technology and network architecture to accommodate actual and anticipated changes in technology, our business and operating results may be harmed.

We have a disaster recovery program to transition our operating platform and data to a failover location in the event of a catastrophe and have tested this capability under controlled circumstances, however, there are several factors ranging from human error to data corruption that could materially lengthen the time our platform is partially or fully unavailable to our user base as a result of the transition. If our platform is unavailable for a significant period of time as a result of such a transition, especially during peak periods, we could suffer damage to our reputation or brand, or loss of revenues any of which could adversely affect our business and financial results.

We Need to Manage Growth in Operations to Realize Our Growth Potential and Achieve Our Expected Revenues, and Our Failure to Manage Growth Will Cause a Disruption of Our Operations Resulting in the Failure to Generate Revenue and an Impairment of Our Long-Lived Assets.

In order to take advantage of the growth that we anticipate in our current and potential markets, we believe that we must expand our sales and marketing operations. This expansion will place a significant strain on our management and our operational, accounting, and information systems. We expect that we will need to continue to improve our financial controls, operating procedures and management information systems. We will also need to effectively train, motivate and manage our employees. Our failure to manage our growth could disrupt our operations and ultimately prevent us from generating the revenues we expect.

In order to achieve the above-mentioned targets, the general strategies of our Company are to maintain and search for hard-working employees who are innovative and creative, as well as to keep a close eye on expansion opportunities through merger and/or acquisition.

There is a risk associated with COVID-19

The Company’s operations may be affected by the recent and ongoing outbreak of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) which in March 2020, was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization. The ultimate disruption which may be caused by the outbreak is uncertain; however, it may result in a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial position, operations and cash flows. Possible areas that may be affected include, but are not limited to, disruption to the Company’s customers and revenue, labor workforce, inability of customers to pay outstanding accounts receivable due and owing to the Company as they limit or shut down their businesses, customers seeking relief or extended payment plans relating to accounts receivable due and owing to the Company, unavailability of products and supplies used in operations, and the decline in value of assets held by the Company, including property and equipment.

22

We Face Risks Arising from Acquisitions.

We may pursue strategic acquisitions in the future. Risks in acquisition transactions include difficulties in the integration of acquired assets into our operations and control environment, difficulties in assimilating and retaining employees and intermediaries, difficulties in retaining the existing clients of the acquired entities, assumed or unforeseen liabilities that arise in connection with the acquired assets or businesses, the failure of counterparties to satisfy any obligations to indemnify us against liabilities arising from the acquired assets or businesses, and unfavorable market conditions that could negatively impact our growth expectations for the acquired assets or businesses. Fully integrating an acquired company or business into our operations may take a significant amount of time. We cannot assure you that we will be successful in overcoming these risks or any other problems encountered with acquisitions and other strategic transactions. These risks may prevent us from realizing the expected benefits from acquisitions and could result in the failure to realize the full economic value of a strategic transaction or the impairment of goodwill and/or intangible assets recognized at the time of an acquisition. These risks could be heightened if we complete a large acquisition or multiple acquisitions within a short period of time.

Risks Relating to the Proposed Mergers

There are significant risks associated with the proposed Mergers and the business of Rhodium including the following:

• The value of the shares of SilverSun Class A common stock may decrease following the Mergers.

• The SilverSun Legacy Stockholders will have a significantly reduced ownership and voting interest in SilverSun after the Mergers and will exercise minimal influence over management of the combined company.

• The SilverSun Legacy Stockholders may not realize the value being attributed to their retained SilverSun shares as the result of the Mergers.

• The Mergers are subject to a number of conditions, some of which are beyond the control of the parties to the Merger Agreement.

• The Merger Agreement limits SilverSun’s ability to pursue an alternative acquisition proposal and requires SilverSun to pay a termination fee of $5,000,000 if it does.

• The Mergers will result in Imperium, which is currently Rhodium’s largest and controlling owner and is controlled by Chase Blackmon, Nicholas Cerasuolo and Cameron Blackmon, holding a substantial portion of the common stock of the combined company, with the right to appoint a portion of the combined company board, and its interests may conflict with those of other stockholders.

• The absence of a historical trading market for Rhodium Class A common stock creates uncertainty about future trading prices of the SilverSun Class A common stock following the Mergers.

• Rhodium is subject to a highly evolving regulatory landscape and any adverse changes to, or its failure to comply with, any laws and regulations could adversely affect its business, prospects or operations.

• It may be illegal now, or in the future, to acquire, own, hold, sell or use Bitcoin, or other cryptocurrencies, participate in blockchains or utilize similar cryptocurrency assets in one or more countries, the ruling of which would adversely affect Rhodium.

• Rhodium is subject to risks associated with its need for significant electrical power. Government regulators may potentially restrict the ability of electricity suppliers to provide electricity to Bitcoin mining operations, such as Rhodium’s.

• While the Mergers are pending, Rhodium will be subject to business uncertainties and contractual restrictions that could adversely affect its business.

• Rhodium’s operations are subject to power risk related to power supply, electricity pricing volatility and hosting services. Rhodium does not have fixed electricity pricing at its Temple Site and there is a risk that it may not have a fixed electricity price at this site.

• Rhodium’s Rockdale Site is subject to access risks which could create a risk of avoidable downtime due to the inability to perform maintenance or make repairs when needed, and a risk of avoidable damage to equipment for the same reason.

23

• While the Mergers are pending, Rhodium may seek to raise additional funds, finance additional acquisitions or develop strategic relationships by issuing additional securities, including capital stock.

• The combined company post-Closing management team has limited experience managing a public company.

• Rhodium’s colocation hosting services agreement and its ability to commence or continue its operations at its Rockdale Site is dependent on leases between third parties.

• The Rockdale Site where Rhodium is currently conducting operations is subject to possible environmental risks.

• Rhodium’s mining operations will be heavily dependent on a continuous supply of large amounts of electricity to both the Rockdale and Temple Sites which is subject to disruption. Any such disruptions could result in disruption to Rhodium’s mining operations and affect Rhodium’s ability to operate efficiently and profitably.

• Disruption of high-speed broad-band Internet access to the Rockdale Site and/or Temple Site will result in disruption to Rhodium’s mining operations and affect Rhodium’s ability to operate efficiently and profitably.

• There is a risk that Rhodium will not secure the funds necessary to finance its operations or future purchases of Bitcoin mining equipment from its suppliers.

• Rhodium is subject to ongoing litigation matters and may become subject to other disputes, including other intellectual property disputes, which are costly and may subject Rhodium to significant liability and increased costs of doing business.

• Future developments regarding the treatment of Bitcoin for U.S. federal income and foreign tax purposes could adversely affect Rhodium.

• Rhodium does not presently have the funds required to fulfill its business plan.

• The market and price for Bitcoin generated by Rhodium can be highly volatile, which may reduce revenues and net income.

Risks Related to Our Securities

The market price of our common stock is likely to be volatile and could subject us to litigation.

The market price of our common stock has been and is likely to continue to be subject to wide fluctuations. Factors affecting the market price of our common stock include:

● variations in our operating results, earnings per share, cash flows from operating activities, deferred revenue, and other financial metrics and non-financial metrics, and how those results compare to analyst expectations;

● issuances of new stock which dilutes earnings per share;

● forward looking guidance to industry and financial analysts related to future revenue and earnings per share;

● the net increases in the number of customers and customers paying subscriptions, either independently or as compared with published expectations of industry, financial or other analysts that cover our company;

● changes in the estimates of our operating results or changes in recommendations by securities analysts that elect to follow our common stock;

● announcements of technological innovations, new services or service enhancements, strategic alliances or significant agreements by us or by our competitors;

● announcements by us or by our competitors of mergers or other strategic acquisitions, or rumors of such transactions involving us or our competitors;

● announcements of customer additions and customer cancellations or delays in customer purchases;

● recruitment or departure of key personnel;

● trading activity by a limited number of stockholders who together beneficially own a majority of our outstanding common stock.

In addition, if the stock market in general experiences uneven investor confidence, the market price of our common stock could decline for reasons unrelated to our business, operating results or financial condition. The market price of our common stock might also decline in reaction to events that affect other companies within, or outside, our industries even if these events do not directly affect us. Some companies that have experienced volatility in the trading price of their stock have been the subject of securities class action litigation. If we are to become the subject of such litigation, it could result in substantial costs and a diversion of management’s attention and resources.

24

We currently have a limited trading volume, which results in higher price volatility for, and reduced liquidity of, our common stock.

There has been limited trading of our common stock since we began trading on the NASDAQ Capital Market in April 2017, meaning that the number of persons interested in purchasing our common stock at or near ask prices at any given time may be relatively small or non-existent. This situation is attributable to a number of factors, including the fact that we are a smaller reporting company that is relatively unknown to stock analysts, stockbrokers, institutional investors and others in the investment community who generate or influence sales volume. Even in the event that we come to the attention of such persons, they would likely be reluctant to follow an unproven company such as ours or purchase or recommend the purchase of our shares until such time as we become more seasoned and viable. As a consequence, our stock price may not reflect an actual or perceived value. Also, there may be periods of several days or more when trading activity in our shares is minimal or non-existent, as compared to a seasoned issuer that has a large and steady volume of trading activity that will generally support continuous sales without an adverse effect on share price. A broader or more active public trading market for our common shares may not develop or if developed, may not be sustained. Due to these conditions, you may not be able to sell your shares at or near ask prices or at all if you need money or otherwise desire to liquidate your shares.

Although our shares have been approved for listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market, our shares may be subject to potential delisting if we do not meet or continue to maintain the listing requirements of the NASDAQ Capital Market.

Our shares have been approved for and are currently trading on The Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”); however Nasdaq has rules for continued listing, including, without limitation, minimum market capitalization and other requirements. Failure to maintain our listing, or delisting from Nasdaq, would make it more difficult for shareholders to dispose of our common stock and more difficult to obtain accurate price quotations on our common stock. This could have an adverse effect on the price of our common stock. Our ability to issue additional securities for financing or other purposes, or otherwise to arrange for any financing we may need in the future, may also be materially and adversely affected if our common stock is not traded on a national securities exchange.

In order to raise sufficient funds to expand our operations, we may have to issue additional securities at prices which may result in substantial dilution to our shareholders.

If we raise additional funds through the sale of equity or convertible debt, our current stockholders’ percentage ownership will be reduced. In addition, these transactions may dilute the value of our common shares outstanding. We may also have to issue securities that may have rights, preferences and privileges senior to our common stock.

Possible adverse effect of issuance of preferred stock.

Our Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, of which all shares are available for issuance, with designations, rights and preferences as determined from time to time by the Board of Directors. As a result of the foregoing, the Board of Directors can issue, without further shareholder approval, preferred stock with dividend, liquidation, conversion, voting or other rights that could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of Common Stock. The issuance of preferred stock could, under certain circumstances, discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of the Company.

Our stock price could fall and we could be delisted from the NASDAQ in which case U.S. Broker-Dealers may be discouraged from effecting transactions in shares of our common stock because they may be considered penny stocks and thus be subject to the penny stock rules.

The SEC has adopted a number of rules to regulate “penny stock” that restricts transactions involving stock which is deemed to be penny stock. Such rules include Rules 3a51-1, 15g-1, 15g-2, 15g-3, 15g-4, 15g-5, 15g-6, 15g-7, and 15g-9 under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These rules may have the effect of reducing the liquidity of penny stocks. “Penny stocks” generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 per share (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ Stock Market if current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system). Our securities have in the past constituted, and may again in the future constitute, “penny stock” within the meaning of the rules. The additional sales practice and disclosure requirements imposed upon U.S. broker-dealers may discourage such broker-dealers from effecting transactions in shares of our common stock, which could severely limit the market liquidity of such shares and impede their sale in the secondary market.

25

A U.S. broker-dealer selling penny stock to anyone other than an established customer or “accredited investor” (generally, an individual with net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or an annual income exceeding $200,000, or $300,000 together with his or her spouse) must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and must receive the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to sale, unless the broker-dealer or the transaction is otherwise exempt. In addition, the “penny stock” regulations require the U.S. broker-dealer to deliver, prior to any transaction involving a “penny stock”, a disclosure schedule prepared in accordance with SEC standards relating to the “penny stock” market, unless the broker-dealer or the transaction is otherwise exempt. A U.S. broker-dealer is also required to disclose commissions payable to the U.S. broker-dealer and the registered representative and current quotations for the securities. Finally, a U.S. broker-dealer is required to submit monthly statements disclosing recent price information with respect to the “penny stock” held in a customer’s account and information with respect to the limited market in “penny stocks”.

Stockholders should be aware that, according to SEC, the market for “penny stocks” has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse. Such patterns include (i) control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer; (ii) manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases; (iii) “boiler room” practices involving high-pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced sales persons; (iv) excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differentials and markups by selling broker-dealers; and (v) the wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, resulting in investor losses. Our management is aware of the abuses that have occurred historically in the penny stock market. Although we do not expect to be in a position to dictate the behavior of the market or of broker-dealers who participate in the market, management will strive within the confines of practical limitations to prevent the described patterns from being established with respect to our securities.

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. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, SWK Technologies, Inc., Secure Cloud Services, Inc., and Critical Cyber Defense Corp. (together the “Company”, “we”, “our”, and “us”) 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 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.

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 consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Our consolidated 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

SilverSun Technologies, Inc. is engaged in providing transformational business management applications and technologies and professional consulting services to small and medium size companies, primarily in the manufacturing, distribution and service industries.

We are executing a multi-pronged business strategy centered on recurring revenue, customer retention and on rapidly increasing the size of our installed customer base. The growth of our customer base is accomplished via our traditional marketing programs and acquisitions. After a customer is secured, our strategy is to up-sell and cross-sell, providing the customer with advanced technologies and third-party add-ons that help them digitally transform their business. These add-on products could include application hosting, cybersecurity, warehouse management, human capital management, payment automation, sales tax compliance or any number of other products or services that we represent. Many of these incremental products and services are billed on a subscription basis, often paying monthly for the service, which increases our monthly recurring revenue (“MRR”). This strategy increases the average revenue per customer, which facilitates our continued growth, and reduces our cost of customer acquisition, which enhances our profitability profile.

Our core strength is rooted in our ability to discover and identify the driving forces of change that are affecting – or will affect – businesses in a wide range of industries. We invest valuable time and resources to fully understand how technology is transforming the business management landscape and what current or emerging innovations are deserving of a clients’ attention. By leveraging this knowledge and foresight, our growing list of clients are empowered with the means to more effectively manage their businesses; to capitalize on real-time insight drawn from their data resources; and to materially profit from enhanced operational functionality, process flexibility and expedited process execution.

We are a business application, technology and consulting company providing strategies and solutions to meet our clients’ information, technology and business management needs. Our services and technologies enable customers to manage, protect and monetize their enterprise assets whether on-premise or in the cloud. As a value-added reseller of business application software, we offer solutions for accounting and business management, financial reporting, Enterprise Resource Planning (“ERP”), Human Capital Management (“HCM”), Warehouse Management Systems (“WMS”), Customer Relationship Management (“CRM”), and Business Intelligence(“BI”).

29

Additionally, we have our own development staff building software solutions for various ERP enhancements. Our value-added services focus on consulting and professional services, specialized programming, training, and technical support. We have a dedicated Information Technology (“IT”) network services practice that provides managed services, Infrastructure-as-a-Service, cybersecurity, application hosting, disaster recovery, business continuity, cloud and other services. Our customers are nationwide, with concentrations in the New York/New Jersey metropolitan area, Arizona, Connecticut, Southern California, North Carolina, Washington, Oregon and Illinois.

As Microsoft Certified Systems Engineers and Microsoft Certified Professionals, our staff offers a host of mission critical services, including cybersecurity, business continuity, disaster recovery, application hosting, remote network monitoring, server implementation, support and assistance, and technical design of network infrastructure, among other services. We compete with numerous large and small companies in this market sector, both nationally and locally.

Distinguished as one of the largest Acumatica and Sage Software practices in North America, we resell enterprise resource planning software published by both Acumatica and Sage, which addresses the financial accounting requirements of small- and medium-size businesses focused on manufacturing and distribution. We also offer services related to these sales, including design, installation, implementation, 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, accounts receivable and inventory management.

We employ consultants and host formal, topic-specific, training classes, both remotely and on-site at our clients’ facilities. Our consultants must pass annual subject matter examinations required by the software publisher to retain their product-based teaching certifications. We also provide end-user technical support services through our support/help desk, which is available during normal business hours, Monday through Friday. Our team of qualified product and technology consultants assist customers that contact us 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. Our customers can communicate with our support/help desk through email, chat, telephone and fax channels.

Led by specialized project managers, we provide professional services ranging from software customization to data migration to small- and medium-size business consulting.

We also are resellers of the WMS software, which develops warehouse management software for middle 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 WMS software improves accuracy and efficiency, streamlines materials handling, meets retail compliance requirements, and refines inventory control. WMS 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 WMS solution to our new and existing medium-sized business clients.

Investing in the acquisition of other companies and proprietary business management solutions has been an important growth strategy for our Company, allowing us to rapidly expand into new geographic markets and create new and exciting profit centers. To date, we have completed a series of strategic ventures that have served to fundamentally strengthen our Company’s operating platform and materially expand our footprint to nearly every U.S. state. More specifically, over the past fifteen years, we have outright acquired select assets of or entered into revenue sharing agreements with Business Tech Solutions Group, Inc.; Wolen Katz Associates; AMP-BEST Consulting, Inc.; IncorTech; Micro-Point, Inc.; HighTower, Inc.; Point Solutions, LLC; SGEN, LLC., ESC, Inc., 2000 SOFT, Inc., Productive Tech Inc., The Macabe Associates, Oates & Co; Pinsight Technology, Inc.; Info Sys Management, Inc., Nellnube, Inc., Partners in Technology Inc., Prairie Technology Solutions Group, Inc., Computer Management Services, LLC, Business Software Solutions, PeopleSense, Inc., and more recently Dynamic Tech Services, Inc. and NEO3, LLC.

Additionally, it is our intention to continue to increase our business by seeking additional opportunities through potential acquisitions, revenue sharing arrangements, partnerships or investments. Such acquisitions, revenue sharing arrangements, 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.

During 2022 the Company continued to expand its customer base and growth trend which we believe will provide a basis for future growth.

30

As discussed above (see Recent Events – Merger), on September 29, 2022, the Company entered into a definitive agreement and plan of merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Rhodium Enterprises, Inc. (“Rhodium”), an industrial-scale digital asset technology company utilizing proprietary technologies to mine bitcoin.

The proposed business combination is expected to close in the first quarter of 2023, subject to the receipt of any applicable regulatory approvals, the approval of SilverSun's and Rhodium's respective stockholders, and other customary closing conditions.

Results of Operations

Revenues

Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2022 increased $3,283,896 (7.9%) to $ 44,985,276 as compared to $41,701,380 for the year ended December 31, 2021. This increase is mostly attributed to an increase in software sales, offset partially by a decrease in service revenues.

Software sales increased by $3,917,975 (49.8%) to $11,781,362 in 2022 from $7,863,387 in 2021. The increase is attributable to an increase in sales of cloud-based ERP software and increased sales of third-party solutions which add functionality to customer’s existing systems.

Service revenue decreased by $634,079 (1.9%) to $33,203,914 in 2022 from $33,837,993 in 2021. This decrease is mainly attributed to lower maintenance revenue as more customers migrate to cloud-based products, and lower consulting revenues as a result of customer delays on projects and the sale of a consulting practice in late 2021. Service revenue increased $2,817,672 (8.3%) excluding the X3 product line which was sold in 2021.

Gross Profit

Gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2022 increased $752,678 (4.4%) to $17,960,736, as compared to $17,208,058 for the year ended December 31, 2021. For the year ended December 31, 2022, the overall gross profit percentage was 39.9%, as compared to 41.3% for the year ended December 31, 2021.

The gross profit attributed to software sales increased $1,415,557 (43.1%) to $4,703,558 for 2022 from $3,288,001 in 2021, which is due mostly to the increased volume of software sold. For the year ended December 31, 2022, the gross profit percentage for software was 39.9%, as compared to 41.8 % for the year ended December 31, 2021. While revenues may decrease because of the shift to a subscription-based business model, our margins will, for the most part, not significantly change. The mix of products being sold by the Company changes from time to time which can cause the overall gross margin percentage to vary.

The gross profit attributed to services decreased $662,879 (4.8%) to $13,257,178 for 2022 from $13,920,057 in 2021. This decrease is mostly due to the gross profit loss associated with sale of a legacy consulting practice in November 2021. Excluding the effect of that practice in 2021, gross profit declined only $5,222 (0.0%) for the year ended December 31, 2022 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2021.

For the year ended December 31, 2022 the gross profit percentage for services was 39.9% as compared to 41.3% for the year ended December 31, 2021. This change in gross profit percentage is mostly due higher to costs associated with increasing pay and benefits to employees to retain and recruit their services and to address inflationary pressures in the overall economy, plus the training of new employees, who were hired to accommodate our growth, and who are not as yet as billable as our more experienced team.

Operating Expenses

Selling and marketing expenses increased $1,025,356 (15.3%) to $7,745,265 for the year ended December 31, 2022 as compared to $6,719,909 for the year ended December 31, 2021. This increase is primarily due to increased commissions as a result of the increase in software sales, higher travel and entertainment expenses associated with attendance with trade shows and conference as well as higher outside sales expenses.

General and administrative expenses increased $69,366 (0.7%) to $9,471,625 for the year ended December 31, 2022, as compared to $9,402,259 for the year ended December 31, 2021. This increase is a result of payroll and payroll-related expenses and departmental changes for various employees which involved moving their compensation between cost of revenues and administrative expenses as well as a lower rent, professional fees, license fees and credit card charges, mostly offset by higher recruitment costs, outside services fees, bad debt expense and excise taxes.

31

Share-based compensation decreased $261,050 to $180,260 for the year ended December 31, 2022 as compared to $441,310 for the year ended December 31, 2021. The decrease is primarily due to the issuance of stock options in 2021 that were expensed as these stock options were immediately vested.

Depreciation and amortization expense for the year ended December 31, 2021 was $948,965 as compared to $875,566 for the year ended December 31, 2021. This increase of $73,399 (8.4%) for the year ended December 31, 2022 is primarily due to the additional amortization of intangible assets related to the new acquisitions and increased depreciation related to equipment purchases over the last 12 months.

Loss Income from Operations

As a result of the above, the Company had a loss from operations of $385,379 for the year ended December 31, 2022, as compared to a loss from operations of $230,986 for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Other Income (Expense)

For the year ended December 31, 2022, other expense was $89,024 as compared to other income of $274,557 for the year ended December 31, 2021. The year ended December 31, 2021 includes the gain on the sale of a product line in the amount of $250,000 as well as a gain of a bargain purchase from an acquisition in the amount of $71,359 which did not occur in 2022.

(Loss) Income Before Taxes

As a result of the above, the Company had a loss before taxes of $474,403 for the year ended December 31, 2022 as compared to income before taxes in the amount of $43,571 for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Income Taxes

For the year ended December 31, 2022 the Company recorded tax benefit of $192,184, primarily as a result of the loss for the year.

For the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company recorded a tax provision of $178,005 primarily due to the non-cash share-based compensation, which is related to the issuance of stock options which are not tax deductible in the current year.

State provision requirements were calculated based on the estimated tax rate. The Federal effective rate is higher than the statutory rate primarily due to the non-cash share-based compensation related to the issuance of stock options which are not tax deductible.

Net (Loss) Income

As a result of the above, the Company generated a net loss of $282,219 for the year ended December 31, 2022 as compared to a net loss of $134,434 for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The uncertainty on the economy continues to create uncertainty for the Company in the coming months and quarters. While our Company has not been significantly impacted because of this uncertainty nor from the impact of Covid-19, the potential negative impact on our business, in the future, is impossible to determine at this point, although it is likely that we could suffer negative consequences as many companies go out of business or decrease their technology spending. As such, we need to rely on our own limited resources to weather any economic downturn. Management will continue to monitor developments, explore various cost-cutting measures, and explore other sources of funding, but there is no guarantee we will be successful in doing so.

The Company currently has no line of credit or other credit facility with any lender.

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 in 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.

32

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 and other markets with solid revenue streams and established customer bases that generate positive cash flow. We continue to seek these opportunities.

At December 31, 2022, future payments of promissory notes are as follows over each of the next four fiscal years:

2023	$	783,479
2024		360,093
2025		258,738
2026		52,183
Total	$	1,454,493

During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company had a net increase in cash of $1,194,516. The Company’s principal sources and uses of funds were as follows:

Cash provided by operating activities:

The Company provided $2,038,392 in cash for operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2022 as compared to providing $226,034 of cash from operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2021. This increase in cash provided by operations is primarily because of the increase in accounts payable and deferred revenues offset partially by the increase in deferred charges.

Cash used in investing activities:

Investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2022 used cash of $188,742 as compared to using $510,464 of cash for the year ended December 31, 2021. This decrease in cash used is due primarily to lower cash required to acquire businesses or assets as well as lower purchases of property and equipment. In addition, the Company received proceeds from a sale of a product line in 2021 which it did not receive in 2022.

Cash (used in) provided by financing activities

For the year ended December 31, 2022 financing activities used cash of $655,134 as compared to providing cash of $503,131 for the year ended December 31, 2021. The decrease in cash provided is attributed to the fact that the Company received no proceeds from the sale of common stock for the year ended December 31, 2022, whereas it received net proceeds from the sale of common stock under its Registration Statement on Form S-3 and the previously disclosed At Market Issuance Sales Agreement with a sales agent during the year ended December 31, 2021. The cash received from the sale of stock was offset mostly by the payment of a cash dividend in 2021.

The Company believes that as a result of the growth in business, and the funds on hand, it has adequate liquidity to fund its operating plans for at least the next twelve months, provided, however, that the Company cannot currently quantify the uncertainty related to the recent pandemic and the uncertainty of the economy and its effects on the business in the coming quarters. The belief that the Company has sufficient liquidity may be incorrect as the impact of Covid-19 becomes clearer over the coming months and quarters. The Company does not anticipate any major capital expenditures in the near future.

For the year ended December 31, 2022, inflation has impacted the Company’s profitability, as it has resulted in increased costs necessary to recruit and retain personnel. As the Company returns back to its pre-Covid marketing and trade show schedules, the higher costs of travel and meals will also have a negative impact on the Company’s profitability.

Critical Accounting Policies

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). The preparation of these consolidated 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, intangible assets, 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.

33

We have identified below the accounting policies, 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

The Company has elected the significant financing component practical expedient in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. In determining the transaction price, the Company does not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component as the Company expects, at contract inception, that the period between when the entity transfers a promised good or service to a customer and when the customer pays for that good or service will be one year or less.

Software product revenue is recognized when the product is delivered to the customer and the Company’s performance obligation is fulfilled.

Service revenue is recognized when the professional consulting, maintenance or other ancillary services are provided to the customer. 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

Accounts receivable consist primarily of invoices for maintenance and professional services. Full payment for software ordered by customers is primarily 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 for bad debt estimated by considering a number of factors, including the length of time the amounts are past due, the Company’s previous loss history and the customer’s current ability to pay its obligations. Accounts are written off against the allowance when deemed uncollectable.

Unbilled Services

The Company recognizes revenue on its professional services as those services are performed. Unbilled services represent the revenue recognized but not yet invoiced.

Definite Lived Intangible Assets and Long-Lived Assets

The values assigned to intangible assets were 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 and other long-lived 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.

Business Combinations

We account for business combinations under the acquisition method of accounting. This method requires the recording of acquired assets and assumed liabilities at their acquisition date fair values. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recorded as goodwill. Results of operations related to business combinations are included prospectively beginning with the date of acquisition and transaction costs related to business combinations are recorded within general and administrative expenses.

34

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method described in FASB ASC 740, “Income Taxes”. Deferred tax assets arise from a variety of sources, the most significant being: a) tax losses that can be carried forward to be utilized against profits in future years; b) expenses recognized for financial reporting purposes but disallowed in the tax return until the associated cash flow occurs; and c) valuation changes of assets which need to be tax effected for book purposes but are deductible only when the valuation change is realized.

Deferred income taxes reflect 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 net operating loss carryforwards. Based on ASU 2015-17, all deferred tax assets or liabilities are classified as long-term. 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.

The Company accounts for uncertainties in income taxes under ASC 740-10-50 which prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. ASC 740-10 requires that the Company determine whether the benefits of its tax positions are more-likely-than-not of being sustained upon audit based on the technical merits of the tax position. The Company recognizes the impact of an uncertain income tax position taken on its income tax return at the largest amount that is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon audit by the relevant taxing authority.

The Company has federal net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards which are subject to limitations under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code.

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal and state jurisdictions. Tax years 2019 to 2022 remain open to examination for both the U.S. federal and state jurisdictions.

Despite the Company’s belief that its tax return positions are consistent with applicable tax laws, one or more positions may be challenged by taxing authorities. Settlement of any challenge can result in no change, a complete disallowance, or some partial adjustment reached through negotiations or litigation. Interest and penalties related to income tax matters, if applicable, will be recognized as income tax expense. There were no liabilities for uncertain tax positions at December 31, 2022 and 2021. During the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 the Company did not incur any expense related to interest or penalties for income tax matters, and no such amounts were accrued as of December 31, 2022 and 2021.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

During fiscal 2022, we did not engage in any material off-balance sheet activities or have any relationships or arrangements with unconsolidated entities established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. Further, we have not guaranteed any obligations of unconsolidated entities, nor do we have any commitment or intent to provide additional funding to any such entities.

As of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Company’s management evaluated, with the participation of the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by the company in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

(b) Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). 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 for external purposes in accordance with GAAP and includes those policies and procedures that:

• Pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the Company’s assets;

• Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that the Company’s receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of the Company’s management and directors; and

• Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements.

As of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Company’s management evaluated, with the participation of its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Stockholders and Board of Directors of

SilverSun Technologies, Inc.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of SilverSun Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2022, the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2022, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2022, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting 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.

Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matters

The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

Revenue recognition

Description of the Matter

As described in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company recognizes revenue mainly from the resale of software products, maintenance, and professional consulting services. The Company enters into contracts with customers that may include combinations of products and services, which are generally distinct and recorded as separate performance obligations. Revenue is recognized when control of the distinct performance obligation is transferred. For example, product revenue is recognized at a point in time while maintenance and professional consulting services revenue is recognized over time. Auditing the Company’s revenue recognition is a critical audit matter due to the effort required to analyze the high volume of transactions, significance of the total amounts recognized as revenue, and timing of when revenue is recognized.

How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit

Our audit procedures related to the Company’s revenue recognition included, among others, selecting a sample of recorded revenue transactions and examining customer source documents for each selection, including the contract or agreement and invoices and payment support. In addition, we evaluated management’s application of the Company’s accounting policy, tested the mathematical accuracy of management’s calculation of revenue and associated timing of revenue recognized in the financial statements.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the “Company” and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). All significant inter-company transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

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.

Goodwill

Goodwill is the excess of acquisition cost of an acquired entity over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized but tested for impairment annually or whenever indicators of impairment exist. These indicators may include a significant change in the business climate, legal factors, operating performance indicators, competition, sale or disposition of a significant portion of the business or other factors. The Company completed its impairment analysis as of December 31, 2022. No impairment losses were identified or recorded for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Capitalization of proprietary developed software

Software development costs are accounted for in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Classification (“ASC”) ASC 985-20, Software — Costs of Software to be Sold, Leased or Marketed. Costs associated with the planning and designing phase of software development are expensed as incurred. Once technological feasibility has been determined, a portion of the costs incurred in development, including coding, testing and quality assurance, are capitalized until available for general release to clients, and subsequently reported at the lower of unamortized cost or net realizable value. Amortization is calculated on a solution-by-solution basis and is over the estimated economic life of the software. Amortization commences when a solution is available for general release to clients.

Business Combinations

We account for business combinations under the acquisition method of accounting. This method requires the recording of acquired assets and assumed liabilities at their acquisition date fair values. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recorded as goodwill. Results of operations related to business combinations are included prospectively beginning with the date of acquisition and transaction costs related to business combinations are recorded within general and administrative expenses.

Definite Lived Intangible Assets and Long-lived Assets

Purchased intangible assets are recorded at fair value using an independent valuation at the date of acquisition and are amortized over the useful lives of the asset using the straight-line amortization method.

The Company assesses potential impairment of its intangible assets and other long-lived 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. No impairment losses were identified and recorded for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Revenue Recognition

The Company has elected the significant financing component practical expedient in accordance with ASC 606. In determining the transaction price, the Company does not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component as the Company expects, at contract inception, that the period between when the entity transfers a promised good or service to a customer and when the customer pays for that good or service will be one year or less.

The Company determines revenue recognition through the following 5 steps:

● Identify the contract with a customer;

● Identify the performance obligations in the contract;

● Determine the transaction price;

● Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligation in the contract; and

● Recognize revenue when or as the entity satisfies a performance obligation

Software product revenue is recognized when the product is delivered to the customer and the Company’s performance obligation is fulfilled. Service revenue is recognized when the professional consulting, maintenance or other ancillary services are provided to the customer.

Shipping and handling costs charged to customers are classified as revenue, and the shipping and handling costs incurred are included in cost of revenues.

Ancillary Service Revenue		15,085,988		14,092,477
	$	44,985,276	$	41,701,380

Unbilled Services

The Company recognizes revenue on its professional services as those services are performed. Unbilled services (contract assets) represent the revenue recognized but not yet invoiced.

Deferred Revenues

Deferred revenues consist of maintenance on proprietary products (contract liabilities), customer telephone support services (contract liabilities) 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. As of December 31, 2022, there was $460,709 in deferred maintenance, $472,266 in deferred support services, and $2,824,115 in deposits for future consulting services. As of December 31, 2021, there was $291,468 in deferred maintenance, $398,382 in deferred support services, and $1,785,733 in deposits for future consulting services.

Commissions

Sales commissions relating to service revenues are considered incremental and recoverable costs of obtaining a project with our customer. These commissions are calculated based on estimated revenue to be generated over the life of the project. These costs are deferred and expensed as the service revenue is earned. Commission expense is included in selling and marketing expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company estimates that the fair value of all financial instruments at December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, as defined in ASC 825 “Financial Instruments”, does not differ materially, except for the items discussed below, from the aggregate carrying values of its financial instruments recorded in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The estimated fair value amounts have been determined by the Company using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. Considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop the estimates of fair value.

The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 for cash, accounts receivable, and accounts payable approximate the fair value because of the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments. Each reporting period we evaluate market conditions including available interest rates, credit spreads relative to our credit rating and liquidity in estimating the fair value of our debt. After considering such market conditions, we estimate that the fair value of debt approximates its carrying value.

Deferred Charges

The Company defers expenses until such time that the expense is consumed and charged to expense at that time. Deferred charges represent expenses related to the merger (see Note 15) and will be charged against the proceeds when the merger is consummated.

Leases

The Company accounts for its leases in accordance with ASC 842, Leases. The Company leases office space and equipment. The Company concludes on whether an arrangement is a lease at inception. This determination as to whether an arrangement contains a lease is based on an assessment as to whether a contract conveys the right to the Company to control the use of identified property, plant or equipment for period of time in exchange for consideration. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. The Company recognizes these lease expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The Company has assessed its contracts and concluded that its leases consist of finance and operating leases. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, current portion of operating lease liabilities, and operating lease liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company determines an incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate represents a significant judgment that is based on an analysis of the Company’s credit rating, country risk, treasury and corporate bond yields, as well as comparison to the Company’s borrowing rate on its most recent loan. The Company uses the implicit rate when readily determinable. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company has lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, which are generally accounted for separately.

The Company finances purchases of hardware and computer equipment through finance lease agreements. Finance lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date.

Concentrations

The Company maintains its cash with various institutions, which exceed federally insured limits throughout the year. At December 31, 2022, the Company had cash on deposit of approximately $7,050,862 in excess of the federally insured limits of $250,000.

No one customer represented more than 10% of the total accounts receivable and unbilled services for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021.

For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the top ten customers accounted for 7% ($3,147,258) and 9% ($3,644,319), respectively, of total revenues. The Company does not rely on any one specific customer for any significant portion of its revenue base.

For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, purchases from one supplier through a “channel partner” agreement were approximately 15% and 13%, respectively. This channel partner agreement is for a one-year term and automatically renews for an additional one-year term on the anniversary of the agreements effective date.

For the year ended December 31, 2022, one supplier represented approximately 28% of total accounts payable. For the year ended December 31, 2021 one supplier represented approximately 24% of accounts payable.

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of trade accounts receivable and cash. As of December 31, 2022, the Company believes it has no significant risk related to its concentration of accounts receivable.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable consist primarily of invoices for maintenance and professional services. Full payment for software ordered by customers is primarily 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 for bad debt estimated by considering several factors, including the length of time the amounts are past due, the Company’s previous loss history and the customer’s current ability to pay its obligations. Accounts are written off against the allowance when deemed uncollectable.

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 three 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 consolidated statements of operations.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method described in ASC 740, Income Taxes. Deferred tax assets arise from a variety of sources, the most significant being: a) tax losses that can be carried forward to be utilized against profits in future years; b) expenses recognized for financial reporting purposes but disallowed in the tax return until the associated cash flow occurs; and c) valuation changes of assets which need to be tax effected for book purposes but are deductible only when the valuation change is realized.

Deferred income taxes reflect 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 net operating loss carryforwards. Based on ASU 2015-17, Classification of Deferred Taxes, all deferred tax assets or liabilities are classified as long-term. 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.

The Company accounts for uncertainties in income taxes under ASC 740-10-50 which prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. ASC 740-10 requires that the Company determine whether the benefits of its tax positions are more-likely-than-not of being sustained upon audit based on the technical merits of the tax position. The Company recognizes the impact of an uncertain income tax position taken on its income tax return at the largest amount that is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon audit by the relevant taxing authority.

The Company has federal net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards which are subject to limitations under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code.

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal and state jurisdictions. Tax years 2019 to 2022 remain open to examination for both the U.S. federal and state jurisdictions.

Despite the Company’s belief that its tax return positions are consistent with applicable tax laws, one or more positions may be challenged by taxing authorities. Settlement of any challenge can result in no change, a complete disallowance, or some partial adjustment reached through negotiations or litigation. Interest and penalties related to income tax matters, if applicable, will be recognized as income tax expense. There were no liabilities for uncertain tax positions at December 31, 2022 and 2021.

During the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 the Company did not incur any expense related to interest or penalties for income tax matters, and no such amounts were accrued as of December 31, 2022 and 2021.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Fair Value Measurement

FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements, defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under generally accepted accounting principles and prescribes disclosures about fair value measurements.

The accounting standards define fair value and establish 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 as follows:

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, and accrued liabilities. The carrying value of longer-term leases and debt obligations approximate fair value as their stated interest rates approximate the rates currently available. The Company’s goodwill and intangibles are measured at fair-value on a non-recurring basis using Level 3 inputs, as discussed in Notes 5 and 10.

Stock-Based Compensation

Compensation expense related to share-based transactions, including employee stock options, is measured and recognized in the financial statements based on a determination of the fair value. The grant date fair value is determined using the Black-Scholes-Merton (“Black-Scholes”) pricing model. For employee stock options, the Company recognizes expense over the requisite service period on a straight-line basis (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 and expected term. Any changes in these highly subjective assumptions significantly impact stock-based compensation expense.

Recently Adopted Authoritative Pronouncements

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40). The update simplifies the accounting for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock by reducing the number of accounting models and limiting the number of embedded conversion features separately recognized from the primary contract. The guidance also includes targeted improvements to the disclosures for convertible instruments and earnings per share. This was adopted on January 1, 2022 and did not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial position and consolidated results of operations.

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers. This ASU requires contract assets and contract liabilities (e.g. deferred revenue) acquired in a business combination to be recognized and measured by the acquirer on the acquisition date in accordance with ASC 606, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers". Generally, this new guidance will result in the acquirer recognizing contract assets and contract liabilities at the same amounts recorded by the acquiree. Historically, such amounts were recognized by the acquirer at fair value in purchase accounting. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including in interim periods, for any financial statements that have not yet been issued. This was adopted on January 1, 2022 and did not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial position and consolidated results of operations.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Recent Authoritative Pronouncements

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses - Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which changes the way companies evaluate credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments. For receivables, and other short-term financial instruments, companies will be required to use a new forward-looking “expected loss” model to evaluate impairment, potentially resulting in earlier recognition of allowances for losses. The new standard also requires enhanced disclosures, including the requirement to disclose the information used to track credit quality by year of origination. ASU No. 2016-13 will be effective for the Company in the first quarter 2023. Early adoption of the new standard is permitted; however, the Company has not elected to early adopt the standard. We are currently evaluating the effect that the new standard will have on our consolidated financial statements, if any.

No other recently issued accounting pronouncements had or are expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 3 – NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE

The Company’s basic loss per common share is based on net loss for the relevant period, divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per common share is based on net loss, divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, including common share equivalents, such as outstanding options and warrants to the extent they are dilutive. For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 since the Company had net losses, the effect of common stock equivalents is anti-dilutive, and, as such, common stock equivalents have been excluded from the calculation.

	Year Ended December 31, 2022			Year Ended December 31, 2021

NOTE 8 – OPERATING LEASE LIABILITIES

The Company leases space in four different locations and also has an equipment lease rental with monthly payments ranging from $3,022 to $10,279 which expire at various dates through April 2024.

The Company's leases generally do not provide an implicit rate, and therefore the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate when measuring operating lease liabilities. The incremental borrowing rate represents an estimate of the interest rate the Company would incur at lease commencement to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments on a collateralized basis over the term of a lease.

The Company's weighted average remaining lease term and weighted average discount rate for operating leases as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 are as follows:

	December 31, 2022			December 31, 2021
Weighted average remaining lease term		1.19			2.46
Weighted average discount rate		4.77	%		4.77	%

The following table reconciles the undiscounted future minimum lease payments (displayed by year and in the aggregate) under noncancelable operating leases with terms of more than one year to the total lease liabilities recognized on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2022:

Stock Options

The Company adopted the 2019 Equity and Incentive Plan (the “2019 Plan”) to order provide long-term incentives for employees and non-employees to contribute to the growth of the Company and attain specific performance goals.

The fair value of each option awarded is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model that uses the assumptions noted in the following table. Expected volatilities are based on historical volatility of Common Stock. The expected life of the options granted represents the period from date of grant to expiration (5 years). The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield in effect at the time of grant. There were no stock options granted for the year ended December 31, 2022. On March 29, 2021, 99,990 stock options were granted with an exercise price of $6.53 per option and have a five-year term with a two-year vesting period at 50% per annum. The fair value of stock options granted was $4.888 per option on the date of grant using the Black Scholes option-pricing model with the assumptions in the below table. On October 14, 2021, 71,630 shares were granted to directors and officers with an exercise price of $5.90 per option and have a five-year term and are vested at the date of grant.

NOTE 10 – BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

On April 1, 2021, SWK acquired certain assets of CT-Solution, Inc. (“CTS”) pursuant to an asset purchase agreement for a promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of $130,000 (the “CTS Note”). The CTS Note is due in 36 months from the closing date and bears interest at a rate of two percent (2.0%) per annum. Monthly payments including interest are $3,724. The purchase price has been allocated to customer list with an estimated life of seven years.

On May 1, 2021, SWK acquired certain assets of PeopleSense, Inc. (“PSI”) pursuant to an asset purchase agreement for cash of $145,703, customer deposits related to prepaid time from clients in the amount of $99,938, and the issuance of a promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of $450,000 (the “PSI Note”). The PSI Note is due in 36 months from the closing date and bears interest at a rate of two percent (2.0%) per annum. The allocation of the purchase price to customer list with an estimated life of seven years which is deductible for tax purposes, has been based on an independent valuation. The valuation showed an increase of $71,359 above the purchase price, which was recorded as a gain on bargain purchase in the consolidated statement of operations as the independent valuation exceeded the purchase price.

On January 1, 2022 (“Effective Date”), the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement with Dynamic Tech Services, Inc (DTS”) to acquire certain assets of DTS. The purchase price for the Acquired Assets was $1,335,000, $500,000 of which was paid in cash and $835,000 of which was paid through the issuance of a four-year $835,000 promissory note dated January 1, 2022, paying interest at the rate of 3.25% per annum. The principal amount of the Note is subject to a downward adjustment in the event the Company loses any subscription renewal revenue during the one-year period immediately following the Effective Date from any persons that were customers of DTS immediately prior to the Effective Date (the “DTS Customers”). Any such downward adjustment will be determined by calculating the percentage of loss of Acumatica subscription renewals during the one-year period immediately following the Effective Date from DTS Customers. In the event that subscription renewal revenue received from DTS Customers during the one-year period immediately following the Effective Date is less than 95% of the subscription renewal revenue received by DTS from DTS Customers during the one-year period immediately preceding the Effective Date, the principal amount of the Note will be reduced. The measuring period for any downward adjustment will be as of the one-year anniversary of the Effective Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, under no circumstances will the principal amount of the Note be reduced by reason of such downward adjustment by more than $150,000 (i.e., to a principal amount below $685,000). The Note will be amortized as follows: The first payment of principal and interest due under the Note, which will be an annual payment, is due and payable on January 1, 2023, after the revised principal amount of the Buyer Note is determined and thereafter, payments will be made quarterly in twelve equal installments.

The Company expects these acquisitions to create synergies by combining operations and expanding geographic market share and product offerings.

The following summarizes the purchase price allocation for all prior year and current year’s acquisitions:

	2021 Purchase CTS		2021 Purchase PSI			2022 Purchase DTS
Cash consideration	$	-	$	145,703		$	500,000

NOTE 11 – INCOME TAXES (Continued)

The foregoing amounts are management’s estimates, and the actual results could differ from those estimates. Future profitability in this competitive industry depends on continually obtaining and fulfilling new profitable sales agreements and modifying products. The inability to obtain new profitable contracts could reduce estimates of future profitability, which could affect the Company’s ability to realize the deferred tax assets. Significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities are summarized as follows:

	December 31,			December 31,
	2022			2021
Deferred tax assets:
Net operating loss carry forwards	$	1,238,000		$	1,314,000
Long lived assets		206,000			101,000
Share based payments		5,000			5,000

Less: Valuation allowance		(417,000	)		(420,000	)
Net deferred tax asset	$	1,106,000		$	991,000

For the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company recorded a tax benefit in the amount of $192,184 based on the estimated tax rate. The Federal effective rate is higher than the statutory rate primarily due to Incentive Stock Options (ISO), which are not tax deductible.

For the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company’s Federal and State provision requirements were calculated based on the estimated tax rate. The Federal effective rate is higher than the statutory rate primarily due to Incentive Stock Options (ISO), gain on bargain purchase, 50% of meals, and 100% entertainment expense which are not tax deductible. The total tax provision for the year ended December 31, 2021 was $178,005.

A reconciliation of the statutory income tax rate to the effective rate is as follows for the period December 31, 2022 and 2021:

	December 31,			December 31,
	2022			2021

On September 29, 2022, the Company entered into a definitive agreement and plan of merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Rhodium Enterprises, Inc. (“Rhodium”), an industrial-scale digital asset technology company utilizing proprietary technologies to mine bitcoin.

Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, which has been unanimously approved by the Boards of Directors of both SilverSun and Rhodium, upon the consummation of the business combination, the Company will receive $10 million in cash and will retain 3.2% equity in SilverSun upon consummation of the merger. Each holder of an outstanding share of SilverSun common stock will receive:

● A cash dividend of at least $1.50 per share, which equates to approximately $8.5 million in the aggregate;

● A stock dividend of one share of SilverSun Technologies Holdings, Inc. ("HoldCo"), a recently formed subsidiary of SilverSun. HoldCo's sole assets are its 100% ownership of SWK and SCS (together the "Subsidiaries"), which Subsidiaries accounted for the large majority of SilverSun's revenue in 2022. It is expected that the capital structure of HoldCo will roughly approximate the current capital structure of SilverSun;

● Following the consummation of the business combination, the business of the Subsidiaries will continue to be operated consistent with past practices. The current management and Board of Directors of SilverSun, including Mark Meller, the Chief Executive Officer of both SilverSun and SWK, will continue in their current roles at both HoldCo and the Subsidiaries. HoldCo will apply for public listing and the shares distributed in the stock dividend will be registered pursuant to a Form 10 that will be filed by HoldCo with the SEC (subject to regulatory and exchange regulations and approvals); and

● The shares of SilverSun's common stock to be retained by the current SilverSun stockholders following the consummation of the business combination will collectively represent approximately 3.2% of SilverSun's pro forma common equity ownership.

The proposed Mergers are expected to close in March or April of 2023, subject to the receipt of any applicable regulatory approvals, the approval of SilverSun's and Rhodium's respective stockholders, and other customary closing conditions.

Prior to the Mergers, SilverSun will hold a special meeting of its shareholders as of a pre-Merger record date to be determined (the “Special Meeting”). At the Special Meeting, the SilverSun stockholders will be asked to vote on the proposals set forth in the Form S-4 Registration Statement of SilverSun (the “Form S-4”) filed on October 19, 2022, as amended on January 9, 2023 and February 14, 2023 and as may be further amended in the future. These proposals include, but are not limited to, approval of (i) the Mergers; (ii) the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (and the matters covered thereby including the Reverse Stock Split); (iii) the Separation and Distribution Agreement; (iv) the SilverSun Technologies, Inc. 2023 Omnibus Incentive Plan; (v) the share issuances related to the Mergers requiring Nasdaq approval; and (vi) the post-Merger board nominees. These proposals are set forth in greater detail in the Form S-4. The Mergers are conditioned upon the approval of the Merger Proposal, subject to terms of the Merger Agreement. If the Merger Proposal is not approved, the other proposals (except the adjournment proposal, as described in the S-4 ) will not be presented to the shareholders for a vote. Similarly, approval of the Merger proposal is subject to the approval of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation proposal, the Separation and Distribution

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

12 Months Ended

Dec. 31, 2022

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block]

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the “Company” and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). All significant inter-company transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

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.

Goodwill

Goodwill is the excess of acquisition cost of an acquired entity over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized but tested for impairment annually or whenever indicators of impairment exist. These indicators may include a significant change in the business climate, legal factors, operating performance indicators, competition, sale or disposition of a significant portion of the business or other factors. The Company completed its impairment analysis as of December 31, 2022. No impairment losses were identified or recorded for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021.

Capitalization of proprietary developed software

Software development costs are accounted for in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Classification (“ASC”) ASC 985-20, Software — Costs of Software to be Sold, Leased or Marketed. Costs associated with the planning and designing phase of software development are expensed as incurred. Once technological feasibility has been determined, a portion of the costs incurred in development, including coding, testing and quality assurance, are capitalized until available for general release to clients, and subsequently reported at the lower of unamortized cost or net realizable value. Amortization is calculated on a solution-by-solution basis and is over the estimated economic life of the software. Amortization commences when a solution is available for general release to clients.

Business Combinations

We account for business combinations under the acquisition method of accounting. This method requires the recording of acquired assets and assumed liabilities at their acquisition date fair values. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recorded as goodwill. Results of operations related to business combinations are included prospectively beginning with the date of acquisition and transaction costs related to business combinations are recorded within general and administrative expenses.

Definite Lived Intangible Assets and Long-lived Assets

Purchased intangible assets are recorded at fair value using an independent valuation at the date of acquisition and are amortized over the useful lives of the asset using the straight-line amortization method.

The Company assesses potential impairment of its intangible assets and other long-lived 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. No impairment losses were identified and recorded for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Revenue Recognition

The Company has elected the significant financing component practical expedient in accordance with ASC 606. In determining the transaction price, the Company does not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component as the Company expects, at contract inception, that the period between when the entity transfers a promised good or service to a customer and when the customer pays for that good or service will be one year or less.

The Company determines revenue recognition through the following 5 steps:

● Identify the contract with a customer;

● Identify the performance obligations in the contract;

● Determine the transaction price;

● Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligation in the contract; and

● Recognize revenue when or as the entity satisfies a performance obligation

Software product revenue is recognized when the product is delivered to the customer and the Company’s performance obligation is fulfilled. Service revenue is recognized when the professional consulting, maintenance or other ancillary services are provided to the customer.

Shipping and handling costs charged to customers are classified as revenue, and the shipping and handling costs incurred are included in cost of revenues.

Components of revenue:	For the Year Ended December 31
	2022		2021
Professional Consulting	$	13,124,812	$	13,262,032
Maintenance Revenue		4,993,114		6,483,484
Software Revenue		11,781,362		7,863,387
Ancillary Service Revenue		15,085,988		14,092,477
	$	44,985,276	$	41,701,380

Unbilled Services

The Company recognizes revenue on its professional services as those services are performed. Unbilled services (contract assets) represent the revenue recognized but not yet invoiced.

Deferred Revenues

Deferred revenues consist of maintenance on proprietary products (contract liabilities), customer telephone support services (contract liabilities) 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. As of December 31, 2022, there was $460,709 in deferred maintenance, $472,266 in deferred support services, and $2,824,115 in deposits for future consulting services. As of December 31, 2021, there was $291,468 in deferred maintenance, $398,382 in deferred support services, and $1,785,733 in deposits for future consulting services.

Commissions

Sales commissions relating to service revenues are considered incremental and recoverable costs of obtaining a project with our customer. These commissions are calculated based on estimated revenue to be generated over the life of the project. These costs are deferred and expensed as the service revenue is earned. Commission expense is included in selling and marketing expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company estimates that the fair value of all financial instruments at December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, as defined in ASC 825 “Financial Instruments”, does not differ materially, except for the items discussed below, from the aggregate carrying values of its financial instruments recorded in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The estimated fair value amounts have been determined by the Company using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. Considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop the estimates of fair value.

The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 for cash, accounts receivable, and accounts payable approximate the fair value because of the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments. Each reporting period we evaluate market conditions including available interest rates, credit spreads relative to our credit rating and liquidity in estimating the fair value of our debt. After considering such market conditions, we estimate that the fair value of debt approximates its carrying value.

Deferred Charges

The Company defers expenses until such time that the expense is consumed and charged to expense at that time. Deferred charges represent expenses related to the merger (see Note 15) and will be charged against the proceeds when the merger is consummated.

Leases

The Company accounts for its leases in accordance with ASC 842, Leases. The Company leases office space and equipment. The Company concludes on whether an arrangement is a lease at inception. This determination as to whether an arrangement contains a lease is based on an assessment as to whether a contract conveys the right to the Company to control the use of identified property, plant or equipment for period of time in exchange for consideration. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. The Company recognizes these lease expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The Company has assessed its contracts and concluded that its leases consist of finance and operating leases. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, current portion of operating lease liabilities, and operating lease liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company determines an incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate represents a significant judgment that is based on an analysis of the Company’s credit rating, country risk, treasury and corporate bond yields, as well as comparison to the Company’s borrowing rate on its most recent loan. The Company uses the implicit rate when readily determinable. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company has lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, which are generally accounted for separately.

The Company finances purchases of hardware and computer equipment through finance lease agreements. Finance lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date.

Concentrations

The Company maintains its cash with various institutions, which exceed federally insured limits throughout the year. At December 31, 2022, the Company had cash on deposit of approximately $7,050,862 in excess of the federally insured limits of $250,000.

No one customer represented more than 10% of the total accounts receivable and unbilled services for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021.

For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the top ten customers accounted for 7% ($3,147,258) and 9% ($3,644,319), respectively, of total revenues. The Company does not rely on any one specific customer for any significant portion of its revenue base.

For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, purchases from one supplier through a “channel partner” agreement were approximately 15% and 13%, respectively. This channel partner agreement is for a one-year term and automatically renews for an additional one-year term on the anniversary of the agreements effective date.

For the year ended December 31, 2022, one supplier represented approximately 28% of total accounts payable. For the year ended December 31, 2021 one supplier represented approximately 24% of accounts payable.

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of trade accounts receivable and cash. As of December 31, 2022, 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 primarily 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 for bad debt estimated by considering several factors, including the length of time the amounts are past due, the Company’s previous loss history and the customer’s current ability to pay its obligations. Accounts are written off against the allowance when deemed uncollectable.

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 three 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 consolidated statements of operations.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method described in ASC 740, Income Taxes. Deferred tax assets arise from a variety of sources, the most significant being: a) tax losses that can be carried forward to be utilized against profits in future years; b) expenses recognized for financial reporting purposes but disallowed in the tax return until the associated cash flow occurs; and c) valuation changes of assets which need to be tax effected for book purposes but are deductible only when the valuation change is realized.

Deferred income taxes reflect 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 net operating loss carryforwards. Based on ASU 2015-17, Classification of Deferred Taxes, all deferred tax assets or liabilities are classified as long-term. 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.

The Company accounts for uncertainties in income taxes under ASC 740-10-50 which prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. ASC 740-10 requires that the Company determine whether the benefits of its tax positions are more-likely-than-not of being sustained upon audit based on the technical merits of the tax position. The Company recognizes the impact of an uncertain income tax position taken on its income tax return at the largest amount that is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon audit by the relevant taxing authority.

The Company has federal net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards which are subject to limitations under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code.

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal and state jurisdictions. Tax years 2019 to 2022 remain open to examination for both the U.S. federal and state jurisdictions.

Despite the Company’s belief that its tax return positions are consistent with applicable tax laws, one or more positions may be challenged by taxing authorities. Settlement of any challenge can result in no change, a complete disallowance, or some partial adjustment reached through negotiations or litigation. Interest and penalties related to income tax matters, if applicable, will be recognized as income tax expense. There were no liabilities for uncertain tax positions at December 31, 2022 and 2021.

During the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 the Company did not incur any expense related to interest or penalties for income tax matters, and no such amounts were accrued as of December 31, 2022 and 2021.

Fair Value Measurement

FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements, defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under generally accepted accounting principles and prescribes disclosures about fair value measurements.

The accounting standards define fair value and establish 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 as follows:

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, and accrued liabilities. The carrying value of longer-term leases and debt obligations approximate fair value as their stated interest rates approximate the rates currently available. The Company’s goodwill and intangibles are measured at fair-value on a non-recurring basis using Level 3 inputs, as discussed in Notes 5 and 10.

Stock-Based Compensation

Compensation expense related to share-based transactions, including employee stock options, is measured and recognized in the financial statements based on a determination of the fair value. The grant date fair value is determined using the Black-Scholes-Merton (“Black-Scholes”) pricing model. For employee stock options, the Company recognizes expense over the requisite service period on a straight-line basis (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 and expected term. Any changes in these highly subjective assumptions significantly impact stock-based compensation expense.

Recently Adopted Authoritative Pronouncements

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40). The update simplifies the accounting for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock by reducing the number of accounting models and limiting the number of embedded conversion features separately recognized from the primary contract. The guidance also includes targeted improvements to the disclosures for convertible instruments and earnings per share. This was adopted on January 1, 2022 and did not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial position and consolidated results of operations.

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers. This ASU requires contract assets and contract liabilities (e.g. deferred revenue) acquired in a business combination to be recognized and measured by the acquirer on the acquisition date in accordance with ASC 606, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers". Generally, this new guidance will result in the acquirer recognizing contract assets and contract liabilities at the same amounts recorded by the acquiree. Historically, such amounts were recognized by the acquirer at fair value in purchase accounting. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including in interim periods, for any financial statements that have not yet been issued. This was adopted on January 1, 2022 and did not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial position and consolidated results of operations.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses - Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which changes the way companies evaluate credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments. For receivables, and other short-term financial instruments, companies will be required to use a new forward-looking “expected loss” model to evaluate impairment, potentially resulting in earlier recognition of allowances for losses. The new standard also requires enhanced disclosures, including the requirement to disclose the information used to track credit quality by year of origination. ASU No. 2016-13 will be effective for the Company in the first quarter 2023. Early adoption of the new standard is permitted; however, the Company has not elected to early adopt the standard. We are currently evaluating the effect that the new standard will have on our consolidated financial statements, if any.

No other recently issued accounting pronouncements had or are expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 3 – NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE

The Company’s basic loss per common share is based on net loss for the relevant period, divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per common share is based on net loss, divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, including common share equivalents, such as outstanding options and warrants to the extent they are dilutive. For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 since the Company had net losses, the effect of common stock equivalents is anti-dilutive, and, as such, common stock equivalents have been excluded from the calculation.

The Company leases space in four different locations and also has an equipment lease rental with monthly payments ranging from $3,022 to $10,279 which expire at various dates through April 2024.

The Company's leases generally do not provide an implicit rate, and therefore the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate when measuring operating lease liabilities. The incremental borrowing rate represents an estimate of the interest rate the Company would incur at lease commencement to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments on a collateralized basis over the term of a lease.

The Company's weighted average remaining lease term and weighted average discount rate for operating leases as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 are as follows:

	December 31, 2022			December 31, 2021
Weighted average remaining lease term		1.19			2.46
Weighted average discount rate		4.77	%		4.77	%

The CTS Note is due in 36 months from the closing date and bears interest at a rate of two percent (2.0%) per annum. Monthly payments including interest are $3,724. The purchase price has been allocated to customer list with an estimated life of seven years.

The PSI Note is due in 36 months from the closing date and bears interest at a rate of two percent (2.0%) per annum. The allocation of the purchase price to customer list with an estimated life of seven years which is deductible for tax purposes, has been based on an independent valuation. The valuation showed an increase of $71,359 above the purchase price, which was recorded as a gain on bargain purchase in the consolidated statement of operations as the independent valuation exceeded the purchase price.

On January 1, 2022 (“Effective Date”), the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement with Dynamic Tech Services, Inc (DTS”) to acquire certain assets of DTS. The purchase price for the Acquired Assets was $1,335,000, $500,000 of which was paid in cash and $835,000 of which was paid through the issuance of a four-year $835,000 promissory note dated January 1, 2022, paying interest at the rate of 3.25% per annum. The principal amount of the Note is subject to a downward adjustment in the event the Company loses any subscription renewal revenue during the one-year period immediately following the Effective Date from any persons that were customers of DTS immediately prior to the Effective Date (the “DTS Customers”). Any such downward adjustment will be determined by calculating the percentage of loss of Acumatica subscription renewals during the one-year period immediately following the Effective Date from DTS Customers. In the event that subscription renewal revenue received from DTS Customers during the one-year period immediately following the Effective Date is less than 95% of the subscription renewal revenue received by DTS from DTS Customers during the one-year period immediately preceding the Effective Date, the principal amount of the Note will be reduced. The measuring period for any downward adjustment will be as of the one-year anniversary of the Effective Date.

NOTE 11 – INCOME TAXES

The recognized deferred tax asset is based upon the expected utilization of its benefit from future taxable income. The Company has federal net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards of approximately $5,400,000 as of December 31, 2022, which is subject to limitations under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. These carryforward losses are available to offset future taxable income and begin to expire in the year 2025 to 2033.

The foregoing amounts are management’s estimates, and the actual results could differ from those estimates. Future profitability in this competitive industry depends on continually obtaining and fulfilling new profitable sales agreements and modifying products. The inability to obtain new profitable contracts could reduce estimates of future profitability, which could affect the Company’s ability to realize the deferred tax assets. Significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities are summarized as follows:

	December 31,			December 31,

For the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company recorded a tax benefit in the amount of $192,184 based on the estimated tax rate. The Federal effective rate is higher than the statutory rate primarily due to Incentive Stock Options (ISO), which are not tax deductible.

For the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company’s Federal and State provision requirements were calculated based on the estimated tax rate. The Federal effective rate is higher than the statutory rate primarily due to Incentive Stock Options (ISO), gain on bargain purchase, 50% of meals, and 100% entertainment expense which are not tax deductible. The total tax provision for the year ended December 31, 2021 was $178,005.

Disclosure Text Block Supplement [Abstract]

Mergers, Acquisitions and Dispositions Disclosures [Text Block]

NOTE 15 – MERGER

On September 29, 2022, the Company entered into a definitive agreement and plan of merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Rhodium Enterprises, Inc. (“Rhodium”), an industrial-scale digital asset technology company utilizing proprietary technologies to mine bitcoin.

Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, which has been unanimously approved by the Boards of Directors of both SilverSun and Rhodium, upon the consummation of the business combination, the Company will receive $10 million in cash and will retain 3.2% equity in SilverSun upon consummation of the merger. Each holder of an outstanding share of SilverSun common stock will receive:

● A cash dividend of at least $1.50 per share, which equates to approximately $8.5 million in the aggregate;

● A stock dividend of one share of SilverSun Technologies Holdings, Inc. ("HoldCo"), a recently formed subsidiary of SilverSun. HoldCo's sole assets are its 100% ownership of SWK and SCS (together the "Subsidiaries"), which Subsidiaries accounted for the large majority of SilverSun's revenue in 2022. It is expected that the capital structure of HoldCo will roughly approximate the current capital structure of SilverSun;

● Following the consummation of the business combination, the business of the Subsidiaries will continue to be operated consistent with past practices. The current management and Board of Directors of SilverSun, including Mark Meller, the Chief Executive Officer of both SilverSun and SWK, will continue in their current roles at both HoldCo and the Subsidiaries. HoldCo will apply for public listing and the shares distributed in the stock dividend will be registered pursuant to a Form 10 that will be filed by HoldCo with the SEC (subject to regulatory and exchange regulations and approvals); and

● The shares of SilverSun's common stock to be retained by the current SilverSun stockholders following the consummation of the business combination will collectively represent approximately 3.2% of SilverSun's pro forma common equity ownership.

The proposed Mergers are expected to close in March or April of 2023, subject to the receipt of any applicable regulatory approvals, the approval of SilverSun's and Rhodium's respective stockholders, and other customary closing conditions.

Prior to the Mergers, SilverSun will hold a special meeting of its shareholders as of a pre-Merger record date to be determined (the “Special Meeting”). At the Special Meeting, the SilverSun stockholders will be asked to vote on the proposals set forth in the Form S-4 Registration Statement of SilverSun (the “Form S-4”) filed on October 19, 2022, as amended on January 9, 2023 and February 14, 2023 and as may be further amended in the future. These proposals include, but are not limited to, approval of (i) the Mergers; (ii) the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (and the matters covered thereby including the Reverse Stock Split); (iii) the Separation and Distribution Agreement; (iv) the SilverSun Technologies, Inc. 2023 Omnibus Incentive Plan; (v) the share issuances related to the Mergers requiring Nasdaq approval; and (vi) the post-Merger board nominees. These proposals are set forth in greater detail in the Form S-4. The Mergers are conditioned upon the approval of the Merger Proposal, subject to terms of the Merger Agreement. If the Merger Proposal is not approved, the other proposals (except the adjournment proposal, as described in the S-4 ) will not be presented to the shareholders for a vote. Similarly, approval of the Merger proposal is subject to the approval of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation proposal, the Separation and Distribution

The Merger Agreement may be terminated, whether before or after obtaining the requisite vote of SilverSun shareholders, by mutual written consent of SilverSun and Rhodium.

The Merger Agreement may be terminated, and the transactions abandoned, by either SilverSun or Rhodium at any time before the effective time of the , by written notice from one to the other if (i) the Closing has not occurred on or before March 31, 2023 or such later date mutually agreed to by SilverSun and Rhodium (the “Termination Date”), except that the right to terminate the Merger Agreement for this reason is not available to any party who is then in material breach of the Merger Agreement; (ii) the requisite vote of SilverSun shareholders has not been obtained by reason of the failure to obtain the required vote at the SilverSun Shareholders’ Meeting (or any adjournment or postponement of such meeting) duly convened for such purpose, except that the right to terminate the Merger Agreement for this reason shall not be available to SilverSun where the failure to obtain the requisite vote has been caused by the action or failure to act of any of the SilverSun Entities or such action or failure to act constitutes a material breach by any of the SilverSun Entities of the Merger Agreement; or (iii) any law or order is enacted, issued, promulgated or entered by a governmental authority of competent jurisdiction (including Nasdaq) that permanently enjoins, or otherwise prohibits the consummation of the transactions, and (in the case of any order) such order has become final and non-appealable.

The Merger Agreement may be terminated, and the transactions abandoned, by SilverSun at any time before the First Effective Time, if (i) Rhodium breaches any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in the Merger Agreement, which breach (a) would give rise to the failure to satisfy the general closing conditions or the closing conditions to the obligations of SilverSun at the Closing and (b) such breach cannot be cured by the Termination Date, or, if curable, has not been cured by Rhodium within the earlier of (A) 30 days after Rhodium’s receipt of written notice of such breach from SilverSun and (B) three business days prior to the Termination Date, subject to certain conditions; or (ii) all of the general closing conditions and the closing conditions to the obligations of Rhodium at the Closing have been satisfied (other than any condition the failure of which to be satisfied has been principally caused by the breach of the Merger Agreement by Rhodium or any of its affiliates and conditions that, by their nature, are to be satisfied at Closing and which are, at the time of termination, capable of being satisfied) and Rhodium has failed to fulfill its obligations and agreements contained in the Merger Agreement to consummate the Closing within three business days following written notice of such satisfaction from SilverSun and SilverSun is ready, willing and able to consummate the Closing.

If the Merger Agreement is validly terminated pursuant to the termination section of the Merger Agreement, except as provided below, it shall become void and of no further force and effect, with no liability (except as provided below) on the part of any party (or any stockholder, affiliate or representative of such party), except that, if such termination results from (a) fraud or (b) the willful and material (i) failure of any party to perform its covenants, obligations or agreements contained in the Merger Agreement or (ii) breach by any party of its representations or warranties contained in the Merger Agreement, then such party shall be liable for any damages incurred or suffered by the other parties as a result of such failure or breach.

SilverSun shall pay, or cause to be paid, to Rhodium (or its designee(s)) by wire transfer of immediately available funds an amount equal to $5,000,000, if the Merger Agreement is terminated by Rhodium pursuant to the unilateral termination provisions in favor Rhodium described above.

Rhodium shall pay, or cause to be paid, to SilverSun (or its designee(s)) by wire transfer of immediately available funds an amount equal to $5,000,000, if the Merger Agreement is terminated by SilverSun pursuant to the unilateral termination provisions in favor of SilverSun described above.

SilverSun Technologies Holdings, Inc. filed its Form 10 with the SEC on December 23, 2022. The Form 10 was withdrawn on February 21, 2023 because the financial statements contained therein were stale. SilverSun Technologies Holdings, Inc. intends to refile a Form 10 containing updated financial statements on or about early March 2023 and expects to be able to request accelerated effectiveness of the Form 10 at its discretion.

On February 14, 2023, the Company filed Amendment 2 to Form S-4 Registration Statement with the SEC.

Accounting Policies, by Policy (Policies)

12 Months Ended

Dec. 31, 2022

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Basis of Accounting, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the “Company” and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). All significant inter-company transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents, Policy [Policy Text Block]

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.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Goodwill, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Goodwill

Goodwill is the excess of acquisition cost of an acquired entity over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized but tested for impairment annually or whenever indicators of impairment exist. These indicators may include a significant change in the business climate, legal factors, operating performance indicators, competition, sale or disposition of a significant portion of the business or other factors. The Company completed its impairment analysis as of December 31, 2022. No impairment losses were identified or recorded for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021.

Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Capitalization of proprietary developed software

Software development costs are accounted for in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Classification (“ASC”) ASC 985-20, Software — Costs of Software to be Sold, Leased or Marketed. Costs associated with the planning and designing phase of software development are expensed as incurred. Once technological feasibility has been determined, a portion of the costs incurred in development, including coding, testing and quality assurance, are capitalized until available for general release to clients, and subsequently reported at the lower of unamortized cost or net realizable value. Amortization is calculated on a solution-by-solution basis and is over the estimated economic life of the software. Amortization commences when a solution is available for general release to clients.

Business Combinations Policy [Policy Text Block]

Business Combinations

We account for business combinations under the acquisition method of accounting. This method requires the recording of acquired assets and assumed liabilities at their acquisition date fair values. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recorded as goodwill. Results of operations related to business combinations are included prospectively beginning with the date of acquisition and transaction costs related to business combinations are recorded within general and administrative expenses.

Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, Including Intangible Assets, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Definite Lived Intangible Assets and Long-lived Assets

Purchased intangible assets are recorded at fair value using an independent valuation at the date of acquisition and are amortized over the useful lives of the asset using the straight-line amortization method.

The Company assesses potential impairment of its intangible assets and other long-lived 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. No impairment losses were identified and recorded for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively

Revenue [Policy Text Block]

Revenue Recognition

The Company has elected the significant financing component practical expedient in accordance with ASC 606. In determining the transaction price, the Company does not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component as the Company expects, at contract inception, that the period between when the entity transfers a promised good or service to a customer and when the customer pays for that good or service will be one year or less.

The Company determines revenue recognition through the following 5 steps:

● Identify the contract with a customer;

● Identify the performance obligations in the contract;

● Determine the transaction price;

● Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligation in the contract; and

● Recognize revenue when or as the entity satisfies a performance obligation

Software product revenue is recognized when the product is delivered to the customer and the Company’s performance obligation is fulfilled. Service revenue is recognized when the professional consulting, maintenance or other ancillary services are provided to the customer.

Shipping and handling costs charged to customers are classified as revenue, and the shipping and handling costs incurred are included in cost of revenues.

Components of revenue:	For the Year Ended December 31
	2022		2021
Professional Consulting	$	13,124,812	$	13,262,032
Maintenance Revenue		4,993,114		6,483,484
Software Revenue		11,781,362		7,863,387
Ancillary Service Revenue		15,085,988		14,092,477
	$	44,985,276	$	41,701,380

Trade and Other Accounts Receivable, Unbilled Receivables, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Unbilled Services

The Company recognizes revenue on its professional services as those services are performed. Unbilled services (contract assets) represent the revenue recognized but not yet invoiced.

Long-Duration Contracts Revenue Recognition, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Deferred Revenues

Deferred revenues consist of maintenance on proprietary products (contract liabilities), customer telephone support services (contract liabilities) 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. As of December 31, 2022, there was $460,709 in deferred maintenance, $472,266 in deferred support services, and $2,824,115 in deposits for future consulting services. As of December 31, 2021, there was $291,468 in deferred maintenance, $398,382 in deferred support services, and $1,785,733 in deposits for future consulting services.

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Policy Text Block]

Commissions

Sales commissions relating to service revenues are considered incremental and recoverable costs of obtaining a project with our customer. These commissions are calculated based on estimated revenue to be generated over the life of the project. These costs are deferred and expensed as the service revenue is earned. Commission expense is included in selling and marketing expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company estimates that the fair value of all financial instruments at December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, as defined in ASC 825 “Financial Instruments”, does not differ materially, except for the items discussed below, from the aggregate carrying values of its financial instruments recorded in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The estimated fair value amounts have been determined by the Company using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. Considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop the estimates of fair value.

The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 for cash, accounts receivable, and accounts payable approximate the fair value because of the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments. Each reporting period we evaluate market conditions including available interest rates, credit spreads relative to our credit rating and liquidity in estimating the fair value of our debt. After considering such market conditions, we estimate that the fair value of debt approximates its carrying value.

Deferred Charges, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Deferred Charges

The Company defers expenses until such time that the expense is consumed and charged to expense at that time.

Lessee, Leases [Policy Text Block]

Leases

The Company accounts for its leases in accordance with ASC 842, Leases. The Company leases office space and equipment. The Company concludes on whether an arrangement is a lease at inception. This determination as to whether an arrangement contains a lease is based on an assessment as to whether a contract conveys the right to the Company to control the use of identified property, plant or equipment for period of time in exchange for consideration. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. The Company recognizes these lease expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The Company has assessed its contracts and concluded that its leases consist of finance and operating leases. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, current portion of operating lease liabilities, and operating lease liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company determines an incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate represents a significant judgment that is based on an analysis of the Company’s credit rating, country risk, treasury and corporate bond yields, as well as comparison to the Company’s borrowing rate on its most recent loan. The Company uses the implicit rate when readily determinable. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company has lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, which are generally accounted for separately.

The Company finances purchases of hardware and computer equipment through finance lease agreements. Finance lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date.

Concentration Risk, Credit Risk, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Concentrations

The Company maintains its cash with various institutions, which exceed federally insured limits throughout the year. At December 31, 2022, the Company had cash on deposit of approximately $7,050,862 in excess of the federally insured limits of $250,000.

No one customer represented more than 10% of the total accounts receivable and unbilled services for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021.

For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the top ten customers accounted for 7% ($3,147,258) and 9% ($3,644,319), respectively, of total revenues. The Company does not rely on any one specific customer for any significant portion of its revenue base.

For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, purchases from one supplier through a “channel partner” agreement were approximately 15% and 13%, respectively. This channel partner agreement is for a one-year term and automatically renews for an additional one-year term on the anniversary of the agreements effective date.

For the year ended December 31, 2022, one supplier represented approximately 28% of total accounts payable. For the year ended December 31, 2021 one supplier represented approximately 24% of accounts payable.

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of trade accounts receivable and cash. As of December 31, 2022, the Company believes it has no significant risk related to its concentration of accounts receivable.

Receivable [Policy Text Block]

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable consist primarily of invoices for maintenance and professional services. Full payment for software ordered by customers is primarily 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 for bad debt estimated by considering several factors, including the length of time the amounts are past due, the Company’s previous loss history and the customer’s current ability to pay its obligations. Accounts are written off against the allowance when deemed uncollectable.

Property, Plant and Equipment, Policy [Policy Text Block]

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 three 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 consolidated statements of operations.

Income Tax, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method described in ASC 740, Income Taxes. Deferred tax assets arise from a variety of sources, the most significant being: a) tax losses that can be carried forward to be utilized against profits in future years; b) expenses recognized for financial reporting purposes but disallowed in the tax return until the associated cash flow occurs; and c) valuation changes of assets which need to be tax effected for book purposes but are deductible only when the valuation change is realized.

Deferred income taxes reflect 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 net operating loss carryforwards. Based on ASU 2015-17, Classification of Deferred Taxes, all deferred tax assets or liabilities are classified as long-term. 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.

The Company accounts for uncertainties in income taxes under ASC 740-10-50 which prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. ASC 740-10 requires that the Company determine whether the benefits of its tax positions are more-likely-than-not of being sustained upon audit based on the technical merits of the tax position. The Company recognizes the impact of an uncertain income tax position taken on its income tax return at the largest amount that is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon audit by the relevant taxing authority.

The Company has federal net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards which are subject to limitations under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code.

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal and state jurisdictions. Tax years 2019 to 2022 remain open to examination for both the U.S. federal and state jurisdictions.

Despite the Company’s belief that its tax return positions are consistent with applicable tax laws, one or more positions may be challenged by taxing authorities. Settlement of any challenge can result in no change, a complete disallowance, or some partial adjustment reached through negotiations or litigation. Interest and penalties related to income tax matters, if applicable, will be recognized as income tax expense. There were no liabilities for uncertain tax positions at December 31, 2022 and 2021.

During the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 the Company did not incur any expense related to interest or penalties for income tax matters, and no such amounts were accrued as of December 31, 2022 and 2021.

Fair Value Measurement, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Fair Value Measurement

FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements, defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under generally accepted accounting principles and prescribes disclosures about fair value measurements.

The accounting standards define fair value and establish 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 as follows:

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, and accrued liabilities. The carrying value of longer-term leases and debt obligations approximate fair value as their stated interest rates approximate the rates currently available. The Company’s goodwill and intangibles are measured at fair-value on a non-recurring basis using Level 3 inputs, as discussed in Notes 5 and 10.

Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Policy Text Block]

Stock-Based Compensation

Compensation expense related to share-based transactions, including employee stock options, is measured and recognized in the financial statements based on a determination of the fair value. The grant date fair value is determined using the Black-Scholes-Merton (“Black-Scholes”) pricing model. For employee stock options, the Company recognizes expense over the requisite service period on a straight-line basis (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 and expected term. Any changes in these highly subjective assumptions significantly impact stock-based compensation expense.

New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Recently Adopted Authoritative Pronouncements

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40). The update simplifies the accounting for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock by reducing the number of accounting models and limiting the number of embedded conversion features separately recognized from the primary contract. The guidance also includes targeted improvements to the disclosures for convertible instruments and earnings per share. This was adopted on January 1, 2022 and did not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial position and consolidated results of operations.

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers. This ASU requires contract assets and contract liabilities (e.g. deferred revenue) acquired in a business combination to be recognized and measured by the acquirer on the acquisition date in accordance with ASC 606, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers". Generally, this new guidance will result in the acquirer recognizing contract assets and contract liabilities at the same amounts recorded by the acquiree. Historically, such amounts were recognized by the acquirer at fair value in purchase accounting. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including in interim periods, for any financial statements that have not yet been issued. This was adopted on January 1, 2022 and did not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial position and consolidated results of operations.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses - Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which changes the way companies evaluate credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments. For receivables, and other short-term financial instruments, companies will be required to use a new forward-looking “expected loss” model to evaluate impairment, potentially resulting in earlier recognition of allowances for losses. The new standard also requires enhanced disclosures, including the requirement to disclose the information used to track credit quality by year of origination. ASU No. 2016-13 will be effective for the Company in the first quarter 2023. Early adoption of the new standard is permitted; however, the Company has not elected to early adopt the standard. We are currently evaluating the effect that the new standard will have on our consolidated financial statements, if any.

No other recently issued accounting pronouncements had or are expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]

Schedule of Earnings Per Share, Basic and Diluted [Table Text Block]

The Company’s basic loss per common share is based on net loss for the relevant period, divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per common share is based on net loss, divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, including common share equivalents, such as outstanding options and warrants to the extent they are dilutive. For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 since the Company had net losses, the effect of common stock equivalents is anti-dilutive, and, as such, common stock equivalents have been excluded from the calculation.

Proceeds from Merger	$ 10,000,000
Merger Agreement, Description of Consideration	Each holder of an outstanding share of SilverSun common stock will receive:   ● A cash dividend of at least $1.50 per share, which equates to approximately $8.5 million in the aggregate;     ● A stock dividend of one share of SilverSun Technologies Holdings, Inc. ("HoldCo"), a recently formed subsidiary of SilverSun. HoldCo's sole assets are its 100% ownership of SWK and SCS (together the "Subsidiaries"), which Subsidiaries accounted for the large majority of SilverSun's revenue in 2022. It is expected that the capital structure of HoldCo will roughly approximate the current capital structure of SilverSun;     ● Following the consummation of the business combination, the business of the Subsidiaries will continue to be operated consistent with past practices. The current management and Board of Directors of SilverSun, including Mark Meller, the Chief Executive Officer of both SilverSun and SWK, will continue in their current roles at both HoldCo and the Subsidiaries. HoldCo will apply for public listing and the shares distributed in the stock dividend will be registered pursuant to a Form 10 that will be filed by HoldCo with the SEC (subject to regulatory and exchange regulations and approvals); and     ● The shares of SilverSun's common stock to be retained by the current SilverSun stockholders following the consummation of the business combination will collectively represent approximately 3.2% of SilverSun's pro forma common equity ownership.
