The financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC) and consequently have been condensed and do not include all of the disclosures normally made in an Annual Report on Form 10-K.  The December 31, 2016 balance sheet included herein was derived from the audited financial statements included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K. Accordingly, the financial statements included herein should be reviewed in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 filed with the SEC on March 24, 2017.

During the six months ended June 30, 2017, there have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies than those previously disclosed in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.
 
Principles of Consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of SilverSun and its subsidiary SWK, which is wholly owned. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

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. No impairment losses were identified or recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Definite Lived Intangible Assets and Long-lived Assets

The 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 or recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016.
 
Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized when products are shipped, or services are rendered, evidence of a contract exists, the price is fixed or reasonably determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured.

Product Revenue

Software product revenue is recognized when the product is shipped to the customer. The Company treats the software component and the professional services consulting component as two separate arrangements that represent separate units of accounting. Consideration is allocated to each unit of accounting based upon that unit’s proportion of the fair value.  In a situation where both components are present, software sales revenue is recognized when collectability is reasonably assured and the product is delivered and has stand-alone value based upon vendor specific objective evidence.

Service Revenue

Service revenue is comprised of primarily professional service consulting revenue, maintenance revenue and other ancillary services provided. Professional service revenue is recognized as service time is incurred.
 
With respect to maintenance services, upon the completion of one year from the date of sale, the Company offers customers an optional annual software maintenance and support agreement for subsequent periods not exceeding one year. Maintenance and support agreements are recorded as deferred revenue and recognized over the respective terms of the agreements, which typically range from three months to one year and are included in services revenue in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

Shipping and handling costs charged to customers are classified as revenue, and the shipping and handling costs incurred are included in cost of sales.
 
Unbilled Services
 
The Company recognizes revenue on its professional services as those services are performed or certain obligations are met. Unbilled services represent the revenue recognized but not yet invoiced. 
 
Deferred Revenues 
 
Deferred revenues consist of maintenance service, customer support services, including telephone support and deposits for future consulting services which will be earned as services are performed over the contractual or stated period, which generally ranges from three to twelve months.

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.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Concentrations 
 
The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents with various institutions, which exceed federally insured limits throughout the year.  At June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company had cash on deposit of approximately $1,227,453 and $1,280,695 respectively in excess of the federally insured limits of $250,000.
 
As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, no one customer represented more than 10% of the total accounts receivable and unbilled services. 
 
For the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, our top ten customers accounted for 23% ($3,761,871) and 22% ($3,579,879), respectively, of our total revenues.  The Company does not rely on any one specific customer for any significant portion of our revenue. 
 
For the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, purchases from one supplier through a “channel partner” agreement were approximately 22% and 22% of cost of revenues, 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.
 
As of June 30, 2017, two suppliers represented approximately 38% and 11% of total accounts payable respectively. As of December 31, 2016, one supplier represented approximately 42% of total accounts payable.
 
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of trade accounts receivable and cash and cash equivalents.  As of June 30, 2017 the Company believes it has no significant risk related to its concentration of accounts receivable.
 
Accounts Receivable
 
Accounts receivable consist primarily of invoices for maintenance and professional services. Full payment for software ordered by customers is due in advance of ordering from the software supplier. Payments for maintenance and support plan renewals are due before the beginning of the maintenance period. Terms under our professional service agreements are generally 50% due in advance and the balance on completion of the services. 
 
The Company maintains an allowance 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.  

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 Income.

Income Taxes

Deferred income taxes reflects the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes, as well as net operating loss carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as non-current based on the classification of the related assets or liabilities for financial reporting. Valuation allowances are established against deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that the assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates or laws is recognized in operations in the period that includes the enactment date.
 
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 2014 to 2017 remain open to examination for both the U.S. federal and state jurisdictions.

There were no liabilities for uncertain tax positions at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Fair Value Measurement
 
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 lease, contingent consideration and debt obligations approximate fair value as their stated interest rates approximate the rates currently available. The Company’s goodwill and intangibles are measured on a non-recurring basis using Level 3 inputs, as discussed in Note 5.
 
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 may significantly impact stock-based compensation expense.

Recently Adopted Authoritative Pronouncements
 
In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classifications of Deferred Taxes, which requires that deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified as noncurrent in a classified statement of financial position. The current requirement that deferred tax liabilities and assets of a tax-paying component of an entity be offset and presented as a single amount is not affected by this amendment. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted and the standard may be applied either retrospectively or on a prospective basis to all deferred tax assets and liabilities. During the first quarter of 2017, the Company adopted this ASU and the appropriate reclassifications were made.
 
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Stock Compensation (Topic 718), which includes provisions intended to simplify various aspects related to how share-based payments are accounted for and presented in the financial statements. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. During the first quarter 2017, the Company adopted this ASU. The key effects of the adoption on the Company’s financial statements include that the Company will now recognize windfall tax benefits as deferred tax assets instead of tracking the windfall pool and  recording such benefits in equity. Additionally, the Company has elected to recognize forfeitures as they occur rather than estimating them at the time of grant.

Recent Authoritative Pronouncements
 
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which requires lessees to put most leases on their balance sheets by recognizing a lessee’s rights and obligations, while expenses will continue to be recognized in a similar manner to today’s legacy lease accounting guidance. This ASU could also significantly affect the financial ratios used for external reporting and other purposes, such as debt covenant compliance. This ASU will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently in the process of assessing the impact of this ASU on our consolidated financial statements.
 
In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Identifying performance obligations and licensing, to reduce the cost and complexity of applying the guidance on identifying promised goods or services around identifying performance obligations and implementation guidance on determining whether an entity’s promise to grant a license provides a customer with either a right to use the entity’s intellectual property (which is satisfied at a point in time) or a right to access the entity’s intellectual property (which is satisfied over time). The ASU will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2018. Early adoption is permitted as of annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is evaluating the future impact of this ASU on the consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350), which includes provisions, intended to simplify the test for goodwill impairment. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. We do not expect the adoption of this standard to have a significant impact on our financial position and results of operations.

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 INCOME PER COMMON SHARE 
 
The Company’s basic income per common share is based on net income for the relevant period, divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted income per common share is based on net income, divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, including common share equivalents, such as outstanding option and warrants to the extent they are dilutive. The computation of diluted income per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and June 30, 2016 does not include share equivalents as all warrants and options exceeded the average market price of our common stock. Convertible debt is included below, based on the if-converted method for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016. All such debt was converted on December 9, 2016.

NOTE 8 – EQUITY

Equity

On January 11, 2016, the Company announced the payment of a $0.06 special cash dividend per share of Common Stock. The dividend payments were paid on January 20, 2016 for an aggregate amount of $264,699, which reduced additional paid in capital.

On July 28, 2016 (the “Effective Date”), the Company entered into a Series B Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement”) with the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Mark Meller, pursuant to which Mr. Meller was issued the only share of the Company’s authorized but unissued Series B Preferred Stock.  Mr. Meller was issued one (1) share of Series B Preferred Stock for (i) $100 in cash and (ii) as partial consideration for Mr. Meller’s personal guarantee of the Revolving Demand Note. Each one (1) share of the Series B Preferred Stock shall have voting rights equal to (x) the total issued and outstanding Common Stock eligible to vote at the time of the respective vote divided by (y) forty-nine one-hundredths (0.49) minus (z) the total issued and outstanding Common Stock eligible to vote at the time of the respective vote.  For example, if the total issued and outstanding Common Stock eligible to vote at the time of the respective vote is 5,000,000, the voting rights of the Series B Preferred Stock shall be equal to 5,204,082 (e.g. (5,000,000 / 0.49) – 5,000,000 = 5,204,082). The Series B Preferred Stock has the rights, privileges, preferences and restrictions set for in the Certificate of Designation (the “Certificate of Designation”) filed by the Corporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (“Delaware Secretary of State”) on September 23, 2011.

NOTE 9 – 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 $6,296,000 as of June 30, 2017, 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 2026 to 2034. 
 
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.

For the year six months ended June 30, 2016, 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) expense and 50% of general meals and entertainment which are not tax deductible. The provision for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was $188,520 as compared to the benefit for the six months ended June 30, 2016 of $20,343. The effective tax rate consists primarily of the 40% federal statutory tax rate and a blended 5% state and local tax rate.
 
For the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company's Federal and State provision requirements were offset by the reversal of a portion of the valuation allowance taking into consideration Section 382 limitations. The Company recorded a net tax benefit of $370,000, which represents a reduction in its valuation allowance on tax attributes that are expected to be utilized based on management's assessment and evaluation of historical and projected income.

Contingent Consideration

On October 1, 2015, SWK entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Macabe Purchase Agreement”) with The Macabe Associates, Inc., (“Macabe”), a Washington corporation and Mary Abdian and John Nicholson in their individual capacity as Shareholders. SWK acquired certain assets and liabilities of Macabe (as defined in the Macabe Purchase Agreement). In consideration for the acquired assets, the Company paid $21,423 in cash. Additionally, the Company will pay 35% of the net margin on software maintenance renewals for former Macabe customers for the first twelve months, and then 30%, 25% and 20% of the net margin on software maintenance renewals for the following three years. The Company will also pay 50% the first year, and 40%, 30% and 20% the three years after on the net margin on EASY Solution Maintenance, new software and license to existing Macabe customers and EASY Solutions software and maintenance sales to new customers. On any former Macabe customers migrating to Netsuite, X3 or Acumatica, the Company will pay 50% of the net margin of the sale after applicable costs and commissions for the three years period after the acquisition. The Company estimated this contingent consideration to be approximately $417,971 at acquisition. Certain payments were made in each of these contingent consideration components, resulting in a remaining balance of $175,558 as of June 30, 2017.

Item 2.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,
 
This quarterly report on Form 10-Q and other reports filed by SilverSun Technologies, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, SWK Technologies, Inc. (together the “Company”) from time to time with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) contain or may contain forward-looking statements and information that are based upon beliefs of, and information currently available to, the Company’s management as well as estimates and assumptions made by Company’s management.  Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which are only predictions and speak only as of the date hereof.  When used in the filings, the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “future,” “intend,” “plan,” or the negative of these terms and similar expressions as they relate to the Company or the Company’s management identify forward-looking statements.  Such statements reflect the current view of the Company with respect to future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions, and other factors, including the risks contained in the “Risk Factors” section of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, 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 financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). These accounting principles require us to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions. We believe that the estimates, judgments and assumptions upon which we rely are reasonable based upon information available to us at the time that these estimates, judgments and assumptions are made.  These estimates, judgments and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Our financial statements would be affected to the extent there are material differences between these estimates and actual results. In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by GAAP and does not require management’s judgment in its application. There are also areas in which management’s judgment in selecting any available alternative would not produce a materially different result.  The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report.

Overview

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”), Warehouse Management Systems (“WMS”), and Business Intelligence (“BI”). Additionally, we have our own development staff building software solutions for Electronic Data Interchange (“EDI”), time and billing, and various ERP enhancements. Our value-added services focus on consulting and professional services, specialized programming, training, and technical support. We have a dedicated network services practice that provides managed services, hosting, business continuity, cloud, email and web services. Our customers are nationwide, with concentrations in the New York/New Jersey metropolitan area, Chicago, Dallas, Arizona, Southern California, North Carolina and Washington.

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 ERP X3 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 true cloud-based ERP solutions, we have added two (2) industry leading applications to our ERP portfolio: (1) NetSuite ERP, among the world’s leading cloud ERP solutions; and (2) Acumatica, a browser-based ERP solution that can be offered on premise, in the public cloud, or in a private cloud. 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 Information Technology (“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 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.

 
EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) Software and Services
 
EDI is the computer to computer exchange of standard business documents, such as purchase orders and invoices, in electronic format. A standard file format is established for each kind of document in order to facilitate the exchange of data across a variety of platforms and programs. We have a proprietary software solution, MAPADOC, which is fully integrated with the Sage ERPs. MAPADOC allows businesses to dramatically cut data entry time by eliminating duplicate entries and reduces costly errors with trading partners. MAPADOC is the only EDI solution that is built within the framework of the Sage ERPs, allowing customers to stay within one application to get their job done.
 
Network and Managed Services
 
We provide comprehensive 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 large national and international product and service providers, to small businesses with local customers. Our business continuity services provide automatic on and off site backups, complete encryption, and automatic failure testing. We also provide email and web security, IT consulting, managed network, and emergency IT services. Our focus in the network and managed services practice is to focus on industry verticals in order to demonstrate our ability to better understand our customers’ needs.

We continue to develop new products, obtain new customers and increase sales to existing customers. Management also 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 managed services market with solid revenue streams and established customer bases that generate positive cash flow. We also plan to add new product offerings to provide a greater a range of products to our customers.
 
Results of Operations for the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2017 and 2016.
 
During the six months ended June 30, 2017 the Company continued to expand its customer base and growth trend which we believe will provide a basis for future growth.
 
1)
Revenues increased 1.0% from the same six months period in the prior year.
2)
Income from operations decreased to $480,305 as compared to $629,770 for the same six months period in the prior year.
3)
Net income was $274,347 as compared to $621,397 for the same six months period in the prior year.
 
Revenues
 
Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2017 decreased $54,250 (0.6%) to $8,508,640 as compared to $8,562,890 for the three months ended June 30, 2016.  Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2017 increased $164,021 (1.0%) to $16,511,212 as compared to $16,347,191 for the six months ended June 30, 2016. 
 
Software sales increased by $250,384 to $1,434,635 for the three months ended June 30, 2017 from $1,184,251 for the same period in 2016 for an overall increase of 21.1%. For the six months ended June 30, 2017 software sales increased $296,847 (14.5%) to $2,341,540 from $2,044,693 for the same period in 2016. This is attributed to increased sales and marketing activity surrounding our accounting software products.

Service revenue decreased by $304,634 to $7,074,005 for the three months ended June 30, 2017 from $7,378,639 for the same period in 2016 for an overall decrease of 4.1%. Service revenue decreased by $132,826 to $14,169,672 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 from $14,302,498 for the same period in 2016 for an overall decrease of 0.9%. This decrease is attributed to the timing of project implementation after the original software sale. As a result, deferred revenues have increased since December 31, 2016 as the company has not performed the services to meet the criteria for revenue recognition.
 
Gross Profit
 
Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2017 increased $53,730 (1.6%) to $3,404,088 as compared to $3,350,358 for the three months ended June 30, 2016. For the three month period ended June 30, 2017, the overall gross profit percentage was 40.0% as compared to 39.1% for the period ended June 30, 2016.

Gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2017 increased $509,750 (8.1%) to $6,791,137 as compared to $6,281,386 for the six months ended June 30, 2016. For the six month period ended June 30, 2017, the overall gross profit percentage was 41.1% as compared to 38.4% for the period ended June 30, 2016.  


The gross profit attributed to software sales increased $103,322 to $645,718 for the three months ending June 30, 2017 from $542,396 in the three months ending June 30, 2016 while gross profit attributed to software sales increased $159,769 to $1,117,713 for the six months ending June 30, 2017 from $957,944 in the six months ending June 30, 2016.   The mix of products being sold by the Company changes from time to time and sometimes causes the overall gross margin percentage to vary.

The gross profit attributed to services decreased $49,591 for the three months ending June 30, 2017 from the three months ending June 30, 2016 while gross profit attributed to services increased $349,981 for the six months ending June 30, 2017 from the six months ending June 30, 2016.

Operating Expenses 

Selling and marketing expenses increased $184,517 (16.9%) to $1,275,158 for the three months ending June 30, 2017 from $1,090,641 in the three months ending June 30, 2016. Selling and marketing expenses increased $246,295 (11.3%) to $2,421,815 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $2,175,520 for the six months ended June 30, 2016. This is due to increased sales personnel and travel expenses as a result of an increase in sales and marketing activity primarily attributed to publisher trade shows. 

General and administrative expenses increased $188,543 to $1,779,344 for the three months ending June 30, 2017 from $1,590,801 in the three months ending June 30, 2016. General and administrative expenses increased $374,584 (12.0%) to $3,484,318 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 as compared to $3,109,734 for the six months ended June 30, 2016. This is primarily as a result of increases in payroll and related expenses associated with the addition of management personnel. 

Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $22,523 for the three months ended June 30, 2017 to $149,041 as compared to $171,564 for the three months ended June 30, 2016. Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $22,581 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 to $319,877 as compared to $342,458 for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

Income from Operations 

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company had income from operations of $192,112 and $480,305 respectively as compared to income from operations of $485,400 and $629,770, respectively for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016. 

Income Taxes 

For the six months ended June 30, 2017, 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) expense and 50% of general meals and entertainment expense which is not tax deductible. The provision for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 was $62,642 and $188,520 respectively. The effective tax rate consists primarily of the 40% federal statutory tax rate and a blended 5% state and local tax rate. 

Net Income 

For the three and six months June 30, 2017, the Company had net income of $120,493 and $274,347 respectively as compared to a net income of $547,120 and $621,397 respectively for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016. The net income for the six months ended June 30, 2017 is down compared to the six months ended June 30, 2016 primarily due to the additional payroll and related expenses associated with the addition of management personnel.    

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
We are currently seeking additional operating income opportunities through potential acquisitions or investments. Such acquisitions or investments may consume cash reserves or require additional cash or equity.  Our working capital and additional funding requirements will depend upon numerous factors, including: (i) strategic acquisitions or investments; (ii) an increase to current company personnel; (iii) the level of resources that we devote to sales and marketing capabilities; (iv) technological advances; and (v) the activities of competitors.

In addition to developing new products, obtaining new customers and increasing sales to existing customers, management plans to increase its business and profitability by entering into collaboration agreements, buying assets, and acquiring companies in the business software and information technology consulting and managed services market with solid revenue streams and established customer bases that generate positive cash flow.
 

On July 21, 2016, SWK entered into a Revolving Demand Note (the “Revolving Demand Note”) by and between SWK and M&T Bank (“Lender”), a commercial lender. The Lender has agreed to loan SWK up to a principal amount of one million dollars. The interest rate on the Revolving Demand Note shall be a variable rate, equal to the “Prime Rate”, plus ninety-five one-hundredths percent (0.95%) per annum.  There is a minimum interest rate floor of four percent (4%).

At June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 there were no borrowings under this note.

On October 1, 2015 SWK entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with The Macabe Associates, Inc., (“Macabe”), a Washington corporation and Mary Abdian and John Nicholson in their individual capacity as Shareholders (the “Macabe Purchase Agreement”). SWK acquired certain assets and liabilities of Macabe (as defined in the Macabe Purchase Agreement). In consideration for the acquired assets, the Company paid $21,423 in cash and additional consideration. The Company estimated this contingent consideration to be approximately $417,971 at acquisition and which is included in the purchase price. Certain payments were made in each of these contingent consideration components, resulting in a remaining balance of $175,558 as of June 30, 2017. On October 19, 2015, SWK acquired certain assets of Oates & Company, LLC (Oates) pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Oates Purchase Agreement”) for cash of $125,000 and a promissory note for $175,000 (the “Oates Note”).  The Oates Note is due in three years from the closing date and bears interest at a rate of two (2%) percent.  The monthly payments including interest are $5,012. At June 30, 2017 the outstanding balance was $78,902. 
 
During the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company had a net decrease in cash of $81,998.  The Company’s principal sources and uses of funds were as follows:
 
Cash provided by operating activities
 
The Company generated $788,214 in cash from operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2017 as compared to generating $245,156 of cash for operating activities for the same period in 2016. This increase is due in large part to increased accounts receivable collection activities.
 
Cash used in investing activities

Investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2017 used cash of $449,913 as compared to using cash of $236,734 for the same period in 2016. This use of cash is attributed to purchases of property and equipment and costs related to the internal development of software.

Cash used in financing activities
 
Financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2017 used cash of $420,299 as compared to using cash of $530,306 for the same period in 2016. The use was due primarily to payments of cash dividends in the year of $179,383 and repayments of long term debt of $152,499.
 
The Company believes that as a result of the growth in business, and the availability of its Credit Line, it has adequate liquidity to fund its operating plans for at least the next twelve months.

There was no significant impact on the Company’s operations as a result of inflation for the six months ended June 30, 2017.  

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
During the six months ended June 30, 2017 or for fiscal 2016, 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.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We do not hold any derivative instruments and do not engage in any hedging activities.
 
Item 4.  Controls and Procedures
 
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
An evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15 or 15d-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on their evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective due to the material weakness resulting from a lack of sufficient internal accounting resources resulting in a lack of segregation of duties to ensure adequate review of financial statement preparation, and (ii) ineffective management review of complex transactions to enable timely decisions regarding required disclosures. This deficiency is the result of our limited number of employees. This deficiency may affect management’s ability to determine if errors or inappropriate actions have taken place. Management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible changes in our disclosure controls and procedures.

Management intends to strengthen the Company’s internal controls. Management expects to make progress towards reducing the risk that the material weaknesses could result in a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements. The Company intends to hire additional personnel to allow for improved financial reporting controls and segregation of duties as the Company’s operations and revenues have grown to the point of warranting such controls. The Company is pursuing an independent assessment of our internal controls to evaluate specific weaknesses and as business conditions allow and resources permit, management will systematically build the necessary capabilities and infrastructure to implement corrective action.

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

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during its most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act.
