Exhibit 99.4
PRELIMINARY UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The transactions (the "Merger") contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger, by Southern State Sign Company, Inc.("SOST") and Conte Rosso & Partners, S.r.l. (“CRPS”) was consummated on November 1, 2012.
The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2012, presents the consolidated balance sheets SOST and CPRS, giving effect to the Merger, the stock issuance and related transactions, which we refer to in this section, collectively, as the “Transactions,” as if they had been consummated on September 30, 2012. The preliminary unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet and income statement for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, presents the consolidated statements of income of SOST and CPRS giving effect to the Transactions as if they had occurred on January 1, 2012. We have adjusted the historical consolidated financial information to give effect to pro forma events that are (1) attributable directly to the Transactions, (2) factually supportable, and (3) with respect to the statement of operations, expected to have a continuing impact on the consolidated results.
We have adjusted the historical consolidated financial statements to give effect to the following events in connection with the Transactions:
• | The issuance of 21,250,000 shares of Common Stock to the shareholders of CRPS. |
| |
• | The elimination of historical transactions between SOST and CRPS. |
| |
• | Translation of SOST financial statement into Euros. |
The transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement will be accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with the authoritative guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board for generally accepted accounting principles in the United States with CRPS treated as the accounting acquirer. Accordingly, CRPS cost to acquire SOST has been allocated to the acquired assets, liabilities and commitments based upon their estimated fair values at November 1, 2012. The allocation of the purchase price is preliminary and is dependent upon certain valuations that have not progressed to a stage where there is sufficient information to make a final allocation. Accordingly, the final acquisition accounting adjustments may be materially different from the preliminary unaudited pro forma adjustments presented herein.
You should read this information in conjunction with:
| • | the accompanying notes to the preliminary unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information; |
| • | SOST separate historical audited financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2011, included in SOST current report on Form 8-K filed on November 2012, and its unaudited financial statements as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, included in SOST’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2012; and |
| • | CRPS separate historical audited financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2011 included in Exhibit 99.2 hereto and its unaudited financial statements as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, included in SOST current report on Form 8-K filed on November 15, 2011. |

The preliminary unaudited pro forma adjustments represent management's estimates based on information available at this time. The preliminary unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information is not necessarily indicative of what the financial position or results of operations actually would have been had the Transactions been completed at the dates indicated.
