Commenting on the results, Mark Meller, Chairman and CEO of SilverSun, stated, "The economic environment was challenging for the Company in 2022. Our principal challenge was and continues to be the retention and recruitment of personnel to accommodate our growth."

"Despite these challenges, we were able to continue to execute on our growth plan, as evidenced by our 49.8% increase in software revenues in 2022 versus 2021. We remain hopeful that we can continue to scale at an even more rapid pace in 2023. This is all dependent, however, on the U.S. economy not entering into a recession. Our customers and prospects seem to feel confident about their economic outlook, and continue to invest in their systems and infrastructure for the future, but this could all rapidly change in the event we do in fact enter a recession."

Meller continued, "Our expenses have been impacted by the higher costs associated with increasing pay and benefits to retain and recruit employees. These issues appear to be prevalent throughout our industry, but we believe that we will continue to be successful in attracting and maintaining qualified personnel going forward under any reasonable circumstances. "

"In addition, our non-payroll operating expenses rose as a result of inflation increasing our costs of doing business. We have and will continue to invest in our sales and marketing efforts, which has led to our increased sales volume. Furthermore, our team is doing much more traveling than during the pandemic, and is attending and sponsoring more in-person conferences and trade shows, which contribute to our growth but also add to our expenses."

"In September 2022, we announced our planned merger with Rhodium Enterprises, Inc., an industrial bitcoin mining company. The proposed business combination is subject to the receipt of applicable regulatory approvals, the approval of SilverSun's and Rhodium's respective stockholders, and other customary closing conditions. We are currently awaiting clearance from the regulatory agencies to move forward with the transaction."

Meller concluded, "We are pleased with the growth we achieved in 2022. We will continue to focus on rationalizing our cost structure and increasing profitability. We believe that we are well positioned for continued growth and success as we have a strong team, experienced resources, and a strong financial position to support our initiatives. We look forward to delivering even more positive results in the coming quarters and years."
