“We exceeded our expectations for growth in fiscal year 2016 by a significant amount with year-on-year revenue growth of 78%. Our team has successfully completed eight acquisitions since 2013, which has consolidated Ameri100’s position as a leading system integrator in the SAP cloud and digital enterprise services industry. We believe our current financial position and focus on SAP cloud services, along with our hybrid U.S./offshore business model, will further advance Ameri100 in the industry. Ameri100 expects to continue to grow revenues through both organic growth as well as additional acquisitions, which makes us confident that we will achieve a $100 million annualized revenue run rate in the near future,” said Giri Devanur, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. “In addition, we have invested a significant amount to grow the business, which has suppressed margins in the short term. We believe our U.S./offshore business model will yield Adjusted EBITDA margins of 10-15% once scale has been achieved.”
In November 2016, Ameri100 was ranked 5th in New Jersey and 182nd in North America on the Deloitte Technology Fast 500. This ranking was in recognition of Ameri100’s outstanding growth track record.
Ameri100 successfully completed three acquisitions of SAP services companies in 2016, bringing total acquisitions to eight since 2013:
· | DC&M Partners, L.L.C. provides its clients with a wide range of information technology development, consultancy, and management services with an emphasis on the design, build, and rollout of SAP implementations and related products. Headquartered in Chandler, Arizona, DC&M is also a SAP-certified software partner, having launched its SAP reporting, extraction, and distribution tool called "IRIS". |
· | Ameri100 Virtuouso Inc., a Kansas based SAP consulting firm, has strong capabilities in the SAP Finance space with its founders having authored books on SAP finance. This acquisition bolsters Ameri100’s ability to deliver on its SAP HANA migration capabilities. |
· | Bigtech Software Pvt Ltd, an SAP solutions company based in Bangalore, India strengthens our presence in the Middle East and enhances our SAP offshore capabilities. |
As part of the Company’s business strategy, Ameri100 also signed a strategic partnership agreement with NEC Corporation of America to deliver SAP HANA migration services in February 2017.
In March 2017, Ameri100 acquired ATCG Technology Solutions Inc., a system integration firm specializing in providing end-to-end SAP enterprise cloud services. ATCG brings deep expertise in the areas of SAP HANA, Hybris, SuccessFactors, and Business Intelligence. This acquisition reinforces Ameri100's position as a leading global systems integrator and service provider across the SAP product portfolio.
On March 10, 2017, Ameri100 also made a merger proposal to CIBER, Inc. (NYSE: CBR) valuing CIBER at a price of $0.75 per share, which is a substantial premium to CBR's closing price of $0.28 on the same date. Ameri100 formed a stockholder group with Lone Star Value Management, LLC to nominate two highly-qualified candidates to CIBER's Board of Directors at its upcoming annual meeting of stockholders.

Exhibit 99.2
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to financial results calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), information containing non-GAAP financial measures for Ameri Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) was disclosed in the Company's press release (the “Press Release”) dated April 6, 2017 announcing results for the fiscal quarter and year ended December 31, 2016. The non-GAAP financial measures disclosed by the Company should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, and the financial results calculated in accordance with GAAP and reconciliations to those financial statements should be carefully evaluated. The non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies. The Company has provided reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. Management encourages readers to rely upon the GAAP numbers, but includes the non-GAAP financial measures as supplemental metrics to assist readers. Definitions of the non-GAAP financial measures are included in the Press Release.
In the Press Release, the Company presented the non-GAAP financial measures “adjusted net income” and “adjusted EBITDA.” Company management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate the Company's performance. As the Company's core business is providing information technology services and products, Company management finds it useful to use financial measures that do not include acquired intangible asset amortization, acquisition related contingent consideration adjustments, investment impairment loss, transaction and integration costs of its acquisitions, and non-recurring related income tax adjustments. While we may have these types of items and charges in the future, Company management believes that they are not reflective of the day-to-day offering of its products and services and relate more to strategic, multi-year corporate actions, without predictable trends, and that may obscure the trends and financial performance of the Company's core business. In the case of “adjusted EBITDA,” Company management believes the exclusion of interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, and stock-based compensation is a very common measure utilized in the investment community and it helps Company management benchmark its operations and results with the industry.
The limitation associated with using these non-GAAP financial measures is that these measures exclude items that impact the Company's current period operating results. This limitation is best addressed by using these non-GAAP financial measures in combination with “net income,” and “net income per diluted share” (the most comparable GAAP measures) because these non-GAAP financial measures do not reflect items that impact current period operating results and may be higher or lower than the most comparable GAAP measure.
