Evermedia Group Announces Audit Update

BOSTON, Aug. 23, 2012

"One of the challenges that we face regarding the audit, that perhaps other small businesses do not, is based on our operating structure.  We have a public parent and two wholly owned subsidiaries.  Evermedia Biometrics and System Technology Solutions operate independently even though the same parent owns them. It's as if we are auditing 3 companies, not just one," commented Evermedia Group CEO Jonathan Sym.  "As a small enterprise our resources are limited and everyone in our organization has multiple duties which limits the amount of attention paid to any particular project.  However, we continue to work as hard as we can to accomplish the tasks before us."

Other significant challenges to company personnel are due largely in part of increases to business activity and development over the past year. Though there have been increases to the number of employees dedicated to specific projects, no increases have been made to corporate headquarters personnel to manage and administer the growth, largely due to budgetary constraints. 

Attracting new business, continuing to provide outstanding support to existing business and growing the enterprise will always be the first and foremost aims of Evermedia.  "Completion of the audit is very important to us and continues to be a top priority.  We will continue our efforts to the best of our ability to finish as quickly as we can.  However, our value does not lie in the audit itself but rather in our ability to intelligently manage our growth, consolidate our human and fiscal resources to create efficiencies and to explore new revenue channels in an uncertain economy," Sym commented.  "I think our shareholders would agree that we should make these values our highest priority."

As the audit progress is of high interest to shareholders, the Company will continue to provide future updates on the Evermedia Group and Facebook sites as well as provide on going information to Briggs Smith of the Olibri Group, the Company's investor relations firm.
