- Six-month revenue grew 22.0%, while gross profit grew 19.7%. Management reported the six-month overall gross margin at 42.0%, compared with 42.8% in 2014. Service gross margin declined to 39.4% from 41.5%; software gross margin rose to 53.5% from 49.8%.
- Second-quarter revenue rose 12.9%, but operating income and net income declined year over year. Service revenue increased while product revenue fell for the quarter.
- Six-month operating cash flow was $232,917, versus $306,491 in 2014. Investing used $104,869; financing provided $626,371, mainly reflecting the stock offering. Cash increased by $754,419 to $2,062,756.
- At June 30, current assets were $5,227,210 and current liabilities were $4,843,664. Working capital was approximately $383,546. Total debt was $447,588, plus capital lease obligations of $155,419.
Material changes and unusual items
- Revenue and earnings growth for the first half reflected existing business and the ESC and ATR acquisitions. Management also cited sales of Sage ERP X3 and other software solutions and growth in services.
- In March, the company issued 363,490 common shares and warrants, raising $1,543,015 gross and $812,023 net after $730,992 of offering expenses. Shares outstanding were 4,346,252 at June 30; the filing reports 4,410,736 outstanding as of August 14.
- The six-month tax provision was $50,778, including a $200,000 net tax benefit from a valuation-allowance reduction. Net income therefore includes a significant tax-related benefit. Federal NOL carryforwards were approximately $7.44 million, subject to Section 382 limitations.
- On July 6, 2015, SWK acquired ProductiveTech for $500,000 cash, a $600,000 note, and 64,484 shares valued at $260,000. This subsequent transaction was not included in June 30 balances.
Outlook, liquidity, and risks
- Management said it expected available resources and the credit line to fund operations for at least 12 months and planned to pursue acquisitions, investments, and growth in sales and marketing. The filing provides no quantified revenue or earnings guidance.
- The $750,000 asset-backed bank line expired July 31, 2015 and was not renewed. The company reported full availability and covenant compliance at June 30, before expiration; its subsequent replacement financing is not clearly stated in the filing text. The related $14,680 term-loan balance was also due July 31.
- Management identified acquisition funding, staffing, sales and marketing investment, technology, competition, and the ability to win profitable contracts as factors affecting funding needs and future performance. Customer concentration and supplier/channel-partner dependence are also disclosed: top ten customers represented 23% of first-half revenue, and one supplier accounted for 36% of accounts payable.
- Disclosure controls were deemed ineffective due to limited finance staffing and ineffective management review of complex transactions. Management was pursuing remediation but could not assure that weaknesses would be corrected. No material litigation or material change to previously disclosed risk factors was reported.
Important facts for investors to verify
- Confirm the intended issuer: the supplied filing is SilverSun Technologies, not QXO, Inc.
- Verify financing and liquidity after the bank line expired on July 31, 2015, including repayment or refinancing of the term loan.
- Assess the ongoing economics and integration of the ESC, ATR, and ProductiveTech acquisitions, including purchase-price allocation and related obligations.
- Separate recurring operating performance from the $200,000 valuation-allowance benefit when assessing first-half earnings.
- Track remediation of the disclosed material weakness in disclosure controls and the effects of acquisition-related expenses, share issuance, and warrants on per-share results.
