ADS WORKS WITH SIKKA SOFTWARE

TO DEVELOP AN ENHANCED DATA COLLECTION PROCESS
FOR DENTAL PRACTICE VALUATIONS AND SALES

MILPITAS, CA – Jan. 16, 2009 - ADS (www.ADStransitions.com), a nationwide network of 23 affiliated dental practice brokers, recognized for its leadership, knowledge and expertise in dental practice transitions and appraisals, has joined in collaboration with Sikka Software Corp.(www.sikkasoft.com) the nation's leader in dental practice analytics and business optimization software to create a breakthrough process for aiding dental practice valuations. Prior to the ADS-Sikka Software alliance there was no efficient method for collecting the in-depth practice data necessary to accurately determine the value of an existing dental practice. Using Sikka Software's expertise in data extraction and parsing technologies in combination with ADS's expertise in practice valuation, the capability to automatically extract practice and financial data from an office’s practice management and financial systems for evaluation purposes has now been developed. This collection process will mean nearly hands-off involvement in data collections by the owner doctor while allowing for increased information accessibility for practice sales and valuations, enhancing the availability and reliability of information and reports provided to both existing practice owners and potential purchasers. The analysis provided by ADS members for practice valuation includes a meticulous review of a wide array of metrics, benchmarks and practice statistics which is then combined with scrutiny of other market factors. Prior to this collaboration it took a great deal of time and effort, when even possible, on the part of the doctors, accountants, brokers and business consultants to collect the data necessary to produce a practice valuation satisfying ADS standards. ADS incoming president, Frank Brown said, "This powerful customized software tool will provide ADS with cutting-edge technology in the sale of dental practices. This is just one more step ADS has taken to be the leader in dental practice transitions and valuations."

Sikka Software Corporation president and CEO Vijay Sikka said, "I started this company after my wife purchased her first practice from an ADS member broker. As we enter our 5th year, Sikka Software's commitment to dentists remains unchanged. We are here to help you extract the maximum profitability and valuation for your practice. Working with prestigious national organizations such as ADS helps us fulfill that commitment. We are helping drive the best practices and standards in the dental industry."
