("Ameri100" or the "Company") (OTCQB: AMRH), a strategy consulting firm that brings synergies of classic technology consulting and product-based technology consulting services to its customer base, today reported results for the quarter ended September 30, 2015 (the "September 2015 Quarter").

Financial Highlights

For the September 2015 quarter:

• Revenue of $4.46 million with gross profit of $1.44 million
• Acquired BellSoft Inc., a Lawrenceville, GA-based consulting company
• Ameri100 continues to analyze acquisition targets and plans to grow revenues to $100 million or more through organic growth and acquisitions

Revenue in the September 2015 Quarter increased by 15.9% compared to the same period in 2014. The cost of revenue decreased by 15.5% and gross profit increased to $1.44 million from $0.27 million attributable to project revenues. SG&A expenses increased due to consulting charges paid and integration costs associated with the acquisition of BellSoft, Inc. ("Bellsoft"). In addition, during the September 2015 Quarter, the Company invested in the expansion of its sales and marketing teams, which resulted in additional increases in SG&A expenses.

2016 Guidance

The Company initiates 2016 guidance of $40 million in revenue with an adjusted EBITDA margin in the range of 10-15%. Adjusted EBITDA margin at the beginning of the year is expected to be at the lower end of the range due to the Bellsoft acquisition and at the higher end of the range at the end of the year as the operations of Bellsoft and Ameri100 become fully integrated and merger synergies are realized.

Operational Highlights

Ameri100 acquired Bellsoft, a Lawrenceville, Georgia-based global systems integrator specializing in providing Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Customer Relationship Management (CRM), business intelligence (BI), and other web-based solutions.  The acquisition will significantly expand Ameri100's service lines and geographic presence in the southeast U.S. market.

"The acquisition of Bellsoft is a landmark achievement for Ameri100's customers, partners, and employees across the globe," commented Giri Devanur, Chief Executive Officer of Ameri100.  Mr. Devanur further commented that, "Bellsoft is a well-established firm with 20 years of strategic consulting services to Fortune 100 clients."  The Company believes that with this acquisition, it is even better positioned to provide additional services in digital transformation and ERP solutions to all of its clients.  In the September 2015 Quarter, Ameri100 added two Fortune 1000 companies to its clients list.  With the acquisition of Bellsoft, the total number of clients increased to 32.

With the acquisition of Bellsoft, Ameri100 further demonstrates its commitment to strengthening its capabilities in delivering IT services and products around the world and affirms its client acquisition and growth strategy to reach its goal of $100 million or more in revenues.  Ameri100 will integrate its offshore business model with Bellsoft's U.S.-based operations to create significant synergies. With this acquisition, the total workforce for the merged entity rises to 255, which combines with Ameri100's extensive Lean Enterprise Architecture Partner ("LEAP") network of over 4,500 technology associates worldwide.

Ameri100 has created an extensive database of potential acquisition targets and is currently exploring multiple accretive acquisitions that will create further value for Ameri100's shareholders.  These targets bring strategic technical and managerial capabilities to expand the Company's footprint with current and potential customers globally, in addition to adding new products and services to the Company's offering to clients.

"Our increased focus on technological initiatives through digital transformation and business intelligence is bearing fruit with several important projects secured during the September quarter," said President and CEO Giri Devanur.  He also added that the Company continues to sharpen its project management processes and increase internal efficiency to expand its product and service offerings to its customer base.
