NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

(Amounts in thousands, except per share data unless otherwise noted)

NOTE 1 - THE COMPANY AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Asure Software, Inc., (“Asure”, the “Company”, “we” and “our”), a Delaware corporation, is a provider of cloud-based Human Capital Management (“HCM”) software solutions delivered as Software-as-a-Service (“SaaS”) for small and medium-sized businesses (“SMBs”). We offer human resources (“HR”) tools necessary to build a thriving workforce, provide the resources to stay compliant with dynamic federal, state, and local tax jurisdictions and their respective labor laws, freeing cash flows so SMBs can spend their financial capital on growing their businesses rather than administrative overhead that can impede growth. Our solutions also provide new ways for employers to connect with and to differentiate themselves with their employees in order to enhance their relationships with their talent. Asure’s HCM suite (“Asure HCM”) includes Payroll & Tax solutions, HR compliance and services, Time & Attendance software and data integrations that enable employers and their employees to enhance efficiencies and take advantage of value-added solutions, which we refer to as AsureMarketplace™. AsureMarketplace™ automates interactions between our HCM systems with third-party providers to enhance efficiency, improve accuracy and to extend the range of services offered to employers and their employees. We offer our services directly and indirectly through our network of Reseller Partners.

We strive to be the most trusted HCM resource to SMBs. We target less densely populated U.S. metropolitan cities where fewer of our competitors have a presence. Our solutions solve three primary challenges that prevent businesses from growing: HR complexity, allocation of human and financial capital, and the ability to build great teams. We have and will continue to invest in research and development to expand our solutions. Our solutions reduce the administrative burden on employers and increase employee productivity while managing the employment lifecycle. The Asure HCM suite includes five product lines: Asure Payroll & Tax, Asure Tax Management Solutions, Asure Time & Attendance, Asure HR Compliance, and AsureMarketplace™.

We develop, market, sell and support our offerings nationwide through our principal office in Austin, Texas and from our processing hubs in California, Florida, Nebraska, New Jersey, New York, Tennessee, and Vermont.

We have prepared the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and accordingly, they do not include all information and footnotes required under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statements.

In the opinion of management, these interim financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal, recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position as of March 31, 2023 and the results of operations, statements of changes in stockholders’ equity for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022, and our statements of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022. Certain amounts in the prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the presentation of the current period financial statements. These reclassifications had no effect on the consolidated financial position or consolidated results of operations of the Company.

These unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with our audited Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto filed with the SEC in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 (our “2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K”). The results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for a full fiscal year.

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

USE OF ESTIMATES

Preparation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of the assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve judgments. The more significant estimates made by management include the valuation allowance for the gross deferred tax assets, the determination of the fair value of its long-lived assets, and the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed during acquisitions. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions management believes reasonable under the given circumstances. These estimates could be materially different under different conditions and assumptions.

CASH, CASH EQUIVALENTS, AND RESTRICTED CASH

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of 90 days or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents include investments in an institutional money market fund, which invests in U.S. Treasury bills, notes and bonds, and/or repurchase agreements, backed by such obligations. Carrying value approximates fair value. Restricted cash consists of cash balances which are restricted as to withdrawal or usage. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had a restricted cash balance of $500 related to the collateralization of a letter of credit issued by South State Bank in connection with its money transmission licenses, which was released in the first quarter of 2023. As of March 31, 2023, the Company had no restricted cash.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740. The amendments also improve consistent application of and simplify GAAP for other areas of Topic 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance. The standard became effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. We adopted ASU 2019-12 during the quarter beginning January 1, 2021, using the prospective approach except for hybrid tax regimes, which we adopted using the modified retrospective approach. The adoption of ASU 2019-12 resulted in no material impact to the Company’s financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326): This update establishes a new approach to estimate credit losses on certain financial instruments. The update requires financial assets measured at amortized cost to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The amended guidance will also update the impairment model for available-for-sale debt securities, requiring entities to determine whether all or a portion of the unrealized loss on such securities is a credit loss. The standard became effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022. Effective January 1, 2023, the Company adopted the provisions of ASU No. 2016-13 and determined that adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

ACCUMULATED OTHER COMPREHENSIVE LOSS

As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, accumulated other comprehensive loss consisted of net unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities.

NOTE 3 - BUSINESS COMBINATIONS AND ASSET ACQUISITIONS

2022

Effective January 1, 2022, the Company acquired customer relationships of a payroll business for a cash payment of $1,970, which included $31 of transaction costs, and the delivery of a promissory note in the amount of $411. The acquired customer relationships are recorded as an intangible asset and are being amortized on a straight-line basis over eight years. See Note 11, Subsequent Events for information regarding payments made on this promissory note occurring after March 31, 2023.

7

2021 and 2020

In September 2021, the Company acquired certain assets of two payroll businesses, which were used to provide payroll processing services. In connection with these acquisitions there are two outstanding promissory notes payable in the amounts of $2,223 and $4,080 as of March 31, 2023. One promissory note also includes contingent consideration for which we utilized a Monte Carlo simulation to determine the fair value of the contingent consideration as of March 31, 2023. For the quarter ended March 31, 2023, there was a measurement period adjustment to the fair value of a decrease in the contingent consideration of $69. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the fair value of the contingent consideration was $587, which will be added to promissory note in the second quarter of 2023. See Note 11, Subsequent Events for information regarding an adjustment to the promissory note for additional contingent consideration occurring after March 31, 2023.

In July 2020, we acquired certain assets of a payroll tax business. The Asset Purchase Agreement set forth two subsequent purchase consideration payments, which are contingent on certain thresholds. The first contingent purchase consideration was paid in June 2021. The outstanding contingent purchase consideration of $2,299 was valued based on the trailing twelve-month revenue at October 31, 2021 and is due to be paid on July 1, 2023.

NOTE 4 - INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 820 “Fair Value Measurement” (ASC 820) defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under U.S. GAAP and enhances disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. ASC 820 describes a fair value hierarchy based on the following three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable:

Level 1:	Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2:	Quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active for identical or similar assets or liabilities; and model-driven valuations whose significant inputs are observable; and
Level 3:	Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

8

The following table presents the fair value hierarchy for our financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively (in thousands):

These securities have not been in a continuous unrealized gain or loss position for more than 12 months. We do not intend to sell these investments and we do not expect to sell these investments before recovery of their amortized cost basis, which may be at maturity. We review our investments to identify and evaluate investments that indicate credit losses. Factors considered in determining whether a loss is a credit loss include the length of time and extent to which fair value has been less than the cost basis, the credit rating of the investment, and our intent and ability to hold the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in market value.

	December 31, 2022		Acquisitions		March 31, 2023
Goodwill	$	86,011	$	—	$	86,011

We believe significant synergies are expected to arise from our strategic acquisitions and their assembled work forces. This factor contributed to a purchase price that was in excess of the fair value of the net assets acquired and, as a result, we recorded goodwill for each acquisition. A portion of acquired goodwill will be amortizable for tax purposes. As of March 31, 2023, there has been no impairment of goodwill based on the qualitative assessments performed by the Company.

We record amortization expenses using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the intangible assets, as noted above. Amortization expenses recorded in Operating Expenses were $3,302 and $3,432 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Amortization expenses recorded in Cost of Sales were $268 and $296 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. There was no impairment of intangibles during the three months ended March 31, 2023 based on the qualitative assessment performed by the Company. However, if market, political and other conditions over which we have no control continue to affect the capital markets and our stock price declines, we may experience an impairment of our intangibles in future quarters.

Subordinated Notes Payable - Acquisitions

In January 2023, the Company resolved the outstanding claims for indemnification for which it was holding back payment of the subordinated note payable as security for such claim. As a result of the resolution of those claims, the remaining balance of $232 has been paid to the Seller ($182) and to the claimant ($50) in satisfaction of its claim. There are no further amounts due or owing under this subordinated note payable.

There remains an outstanding contingent consideration of $587 in connection with a payroll business acquired in September 2021, which will be added to the promissory note issued in connection with the acquisition in the second quarter of 2023. See Note 11, Subsequent Events for information regarding an adjustment to the promissory note for additional contingent consideration occurring after March 31, 2023.

Senior Credit Facility with Structural Capital Investments III, LP

On September 10, 2021, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with Structural Capital Investments III, LP (“Structural” and together with the other lenders that are or become parties thereto, the “Lenders”), and Ocean II PLO LLC, as administrative and collateral agent for Structural and the Lenders (“Agent”), under the terms of which the Lenders have committed to lend us up to $50,000 in term loan financing to support our growth needs (the “Facility”) until June 30, 2022. Of the amount committed by the Lenders, the Company drew $30,000 in September 2021, at the closing and the remaining $20,000 has lapsed. The Company also entered into a secured promissory note with the Agent evidencing our obligations under the Facility. The Company’s obligations are further guaranteed by each of our subsidiaries and secured by our assets and the assets of our subsidiaries.

At the onset of the agreement, we paid to the Lenders an origination fee of $500. Interest accrues on any outstanding balance at a rate equal to the greater of 9.0% or the Prime Rate, plus 5.75% (the “Basic Rate”) and is payable in advance, which as of March 31, 2023 was 13.75%. In addition, interest is paid in kind (“PIK”) at a rate of 1.00% or 1.25% based on our APR Ratio, measured on a quarterly basis. The PIK interest is added to our outstanding balance and accrues interest at the Basic Rate. Interest only payments are due until October 2023, with an option to extend until October 2024, dependent on certain financial or revenue metrics before the end of the first twenty-four months of the Facility.

Principal payments begin after the expiration of the interest only period, and are based on a five year amortization schedule, with a balloon payment due in October 2025. The table above in this Note 6 — Notes Payable summarizing future principal payments assumes the Company will not extend the period of interest only payments to October 2024. Upon payment in full of the obligations under the Facility, we are to pay Lenders a final payment fee equal to 1.0% of the increase in our market capitalization since the onset of the agreement, at that time valued at $182,400.

The Company has agreed to provide the Lenders the right to participate in a future offering—whether public or private—on the same terms and conditions as other investors for an amount not to exceed $3,000.

There are no financial covenants if our net cash position is equal to or greater than zero. If our net cash position is less than zero, the Company would be subject to the following financial covenants: (i) unrestricted cash of no less than $5,000, (ii) maintain an APR ratio of no less than 0.70:1.00 through September 10, 2023, and (iii) maintain an APR ratio of no less than 0.60:1.00 from September 10, 2023 through the remainder of the term of the Facility. The APR ratio would be the ratio of our tested debt to our annual recurring revenue and would be measured on a quarterly basis. Our Tested Debt consists of our outstanding obligations under the Facility (exclusive of PIK interest) and any indebtedness issued or earnouts owed to sellers in connection with acquisitions.

NOTE 7 – CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS AND REVENUE CONCENTRATION

Receivables

Receivables from contracts with customers, net of allowance for doubtful accounts of $4,027, were $14,762 at March 31, 2023. Receivables from contracts with customers, net of allowance for doubtful accounts of $3,248, were $12,123 at December 31, 2022. The increase in the receivable balance during the first quarter of 2023 is primarily due to deferred payment terms on many of our Earned Retention Tax Credit commitments. No customers represented more than 10% of our net accounts receivable balance as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

13

Deferred Commissions

Deferred commission costs from contracts with customers were $7,525 and $6,660 at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The amount of amortization recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $496, and for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $345.

Deferred Revenue

During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022, revenue of $5,613 and $3,058, respectively, was recognized from the deferred revenue balance at the beginning of each period.

Transaction Price Allocated to the Remaining Performance Obligations

As of March 31, 2023, approximately $21,295 of revenue is expected to be recognized from remaining performance obligations. We expect to recognize revenue on approximately 92% of these remaining performance obligations over the next 12 months, with the balance recognized thereafter.

Revenue Concentration

During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, there were no customers that individually represented 10% or more of consolidated revenue.

NOTE 8 - LEASES

We have entered into office space lease agreements, which qualify as operating leases under ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)”. Under such leases, the lessors receive annual minimum (base) rent. The leases have original terms (excluding extension options) ranging from one year to ten years. Our lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

We record base rent expense under the straight-line method over the term of the lease. In the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss), rent expense is included in operating expenses under general and administrative expenses. The components of the rent expense for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 are as follows (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2023		2022
Operating lease cost	$	531	$	557
Sublease income	(5)		(11)
Net rent expense	$	526	$	546

For purposes of calculating the operating lease assets and lease liabilities, extension options are not included in the lease term unless it is reasonably certain we will exercise the option, or the lessor has the sole ability to exercise the option. The weighted average discount rate of our operating leases is 8% as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The weighted average remaining lease term is five years and five years as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

Supplemental cash flow information related to operating leases for the three months ended March 31 are as follows (in thousands):

NOTE 9 - SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

We have one active equity plan, the 2018 Incentive Award Plan (the “2018 Plan”). The 2018 Plan, approved by our shareholders, replaced our 2009 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended (the “2009 Plan”), however, the terms and conditions of the 2009 Plan will continue to govern any outstanding awards granted thereunder. In January 2023, we granted Performance Stock Units (“PSU”) to certain members of management under the 2018 Plan. Each PSU will convert into one restricted stock unit (“RSU”) at the end of the performance period. The number of RSUs into which the PSUs convert for each member of management who received the award will be a sliding scale between 0% to 200% of the target amount based on the Company’s achievement of certain performance metrics tied to the Company’s recurring revenue and gross profit for 2023. Once converted, the RSU will vest as follows: one-third on the date the PSU is converted (which is expected to be between January 1, 2024, and March 31, 2024), one-third will vest on January 2, 2025, and one-third will vest on January 2, 2026.

The number of shares available for issuance under the 2018 Plan is equal to 4,350 shares. We have an aggregate of 2,549 options, RSUs and PSUs granted and outstanding pursuant to the 2018 Plan as of March 31, 2023. As of March 31, 2023, the number of shares available for future grant under the 2018 Plan is 1,632.

Share based compensation for our stock option plans for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022 was $1,337 and $729, respectively. We issued 277 shares of common stock related to exercises of stock options for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and issued no shares of common stock related to exercises for the three months ended March 31, 2022. We issued 98 and 43 shares of common stock upon the vesting of restricted stock units for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

NOTE 10 - NET EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

We compute net income or loss per share based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net income per share reflects the maximum dilution that would have resulted from incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options or vesting of RSUs and in some cases PSUs. In periods of net income, we compute the adjustment to the denominator of our dilutive net earnings per share calculation to include these stock options, RSUs, and PSUs, as applicable, using the treasury stock method. Regardless of the period resulting in net income or net loss, we exclude the adjustment to the denominator of our dilutive net earnings (loss) per share calculation to the extent that they are anti-dilutive.

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, we included an adjustment to the denominator of our dilutive earnings per share calculation for 773 options and RSUs but excluded 79 shares related to PSUs as these instruments would not be considered vested if we were at the end of the contingency period. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, we have excluded stock options and restricted stock units of 309 as they were anti-dilutive.

15

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per common share for the three months ended March 31 (in thousands, except per share amounts):

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2023		2022
Basic:
Net income (loss)	$	339	$	(3,017)
Weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding	20,347		20,041
Basic earnings (loss) per share	$	0.02	$	(0.15)
Diluted:
Net income (loss)	$	339	$	(3,017)
Weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding	21,041		20,041
Diluted earnings (loss) per share	$	0.02	$	(0.15)

NOTE 11 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

In April 2023, the Company calculated the final contingent consideration due in connection with the acquisition of a payroll business in September 2021. As a result, the fair value of the contingent consideration of $587 was added as an increase to the principal balance due on the promissory note.

In May 2023, the Company paid the outstanding balance of a subordinated note payable in connection with the acquisition of customer relationships of a payroll business that took place in 2022. As a result, the remaining balance of $422 has been paid to the seller consisting of $411 in principal and $11 in accrued interest. There are no further amounts due or owing under this subordinated note payable.

Asure is a provider of cloud-based Human Capital Management (“HCM”) software solutions delivered as Software-as-a-Service (“SaaS”) for small and medium-sized businesses (“SMBs”). We offer human resources (“HR”) tools necessary to build a thriving workforce, provide the resources to stay compliant with dynamic federal, state, and local tax jurisdictions and their respective labor laws, freeing cash flows so SMBs can spend their financial capital on growing their businesses rather than administrative overhead that can impede growth. Our solutions also provide new ways for employers to connect with and to differentiate themselves with their employees in order to enhance their relationships with their talent. Asure’s HCM suite (“Asure HCM”) includes Payroll & Tax solutions, HR compliance and services, Time & Attendance software and data integrations that enable employers and their employees to enhance efficiencies and take advantage of value-added solutions, which we refer to as AsureMarketplace™. AsureMarketplace™ automates interactions between our HCM systems with third-party providers to enhance efficiency, improve accuracy and to extend the range of services offered to employers and their employees. We offer our services directly and indirectly through our network of Reseller Partners.

From recruitment to retirement, our solutions help more than 100,000 SMBs across the United States. Approximately 15,000 of our clients are direct and the 85,000 remaining clients are indirect, as they have contracts with Reseller Partners who white label our solutions.

We strive to be the most trusted HCM resource to SMBs. We target less densely populated U.S. metropolitan cities where fewer of our competitors have a presence. Our solutions solve three primary challenges that prevent businesses from growing: HR complexity, allocation of human and financial capital, and the ability to build great teams. We have and will continue to invest in research and development to expand our solutions. Our solutions reduce the administrative burden on employers and increases employee productivity while managing the employment lifecycle.

Acquisitions

On January 1, 2022, we acquired certain assets of a reseller partner, which were used to provide payroll processing services. The partner is located in the northeastern United States. The aggregate purchase price that the Company paid for these assets was $2,350, paid as follows: (i) $1,939 in cash at closing and (ii) the delivery of a promissory note in the amount of $411. The Company paid the full amount due, including interest, on this promissory note on May 1, 2023.

On September 30, 2021, the Company acquired certain assets of two payroll businesses, which were used to provide payroll processing services. In connection with these acquisitions there are two outstanding promissory notes payable in the amounts of $2,223 and $4,080 as of March 31, 2023, respectively. The acquisition related to the promissory note in the amount of $4,080 also included contingent consideration for which we utilized a Monte Carlo simulation to determine the fair value of the contingent consideration as of March 31, 2023. For the quarter ended March 31, 2023, there was a measurement period adjustment to the fair value of a decrease in the contingent consideration of $69. For the three months ended March 31, 2023 the fair value of the contingent consideration was finally calculated at $587, which was added as an increase to the outstanding principal balance due on the promissory note in the second quarter of 2023.

Revenue

Revenues are comprised of recurring revenues, professional services, hardware, and other revenues. We expect our revenues to increase as we introduce new applications, expand our client base and renew and expand relationships with existing clients. As a percentage of total revenues, we expect our mix of recurring revenues, and professional services, hardware and other revenues to remain relatively constant. While revenue mix varies by product, recurring revenue represented over 84% of total revenue in three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to 94% in three months ended March 31, 2022.

Our revenue was derived from the following sources (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended March 31,				Variance
	2023		2022		$		%
Recurring	$	27,956	$	23,004	$	4,952	22	%

Total	$	33,064	$	24,333	$	8,731	36	%

Recurring Revenues

Recurring revenues include fees for our payroll, payroll tax, tax management, time and labor management, HR compliance services, AsureMarketplace™ and other Asure solutions as well as fees charged for form filings and delivery of client payroll checks and reports. These revenues are derived from fixed amounts charged per billing period and sometimes an additional fee per employee or transaction processed. We do not require clients to enter into long-term contractual commitments for our services. Our billing period varies by client based on when each client pays its employees, which may be weekly, bi-weekly, semi-monthly or monthly. We also generate recurring revenue from our Reseller Partners that license our solutions. Because recurring revenues are based, in part, on fees for use of our applications and the delivery of checks and reports that are levied on a per-employee basis, our recurring revenues increase as our clients hire more employees. Recurring revenues are recognized in the period services are rendered.

19

Recurring revenues include revenues relating to the annual processing of payroll forms, such as Form W-2 and Form 1099, and revenues from processing unscheduled payroll runs (such as bonuses) for our clients. Because payroll forms are typically processed in the first quarter of the year and many of our clients are subject to form filing requirements mandated by the Affordable Care Act (“ACA”), first quarter revenues and margins are generally higher than in subsequent quarters. We anticipate our revenues will continue to exhibit this seasonal pattern related to ACA form filings for so long as the ACA (or replacement legislation) includes employer reporting requirements. In addition, we often experience increased revenues during the fourth quarter due to unscheduled payroll runs for our clients that occur before the end of the year. Therefore, we expect the seasonality of our revenue cycle to decrease to the extent clients utilize more of our non-payroll applications.

This revenue line also includes interest earned on funds held for clients as well as revenues generated via fixed fee arrangements for provisioning and filing for Employee Retention Tax Credit (“ERTC”) credits. Interest earned is generated from funds we collect from clients in advance of either the applicable due date for payroll tax submissions or the applicable disbursement date for employee payment services. These collections from clients are typically disbursed from one to 30 days after receipt, with some funds being held for up to 120 days. We typically invest funds held for clients in money market funds, demand deposit accounts, commercial paper, fixed income securities and certificates of deposit until they are paid to the applicable tax or regulatory agencies or to client employees. The amount of interest we earn from the investment of client funds is also impacted by changes in interest rates. Asure also generates revenues from provisioning and filing for ERTC. Revenue generated for such activity is based on multi-year contracts with volume commitments and is recorded as recurring revenues.

Recurring revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $27,956, an increase of $4,952, or 22%, from $23,004 for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Recurring revenue increase is primarily due to an increase of approximately $1,874 in interest earned on funds held for clients, an increase of $1,336 in HR compliance revenue, and an increase of $1,157 in revenue from AsureMarketplace™.

Professional Services, Hardware and Other Revenues

Professional Services, Hardware and Other Revenues represents implementation fees, one-time consulting projects, on-premise maintenance, hardware devices to enhance our software products as well as ERTC revenues that are transactional in nature.

Professional services, hardware and other revenue increased $3,779, or 284%, for the three months ended March 31, 2023 from the similar period in 2022, primarily due to growth in non-recurring ERTC revenue.

Although our total customer base is widely spread across industries, our sales are concentrated in SMBs. We continue to target SMBs across industries as prospective customers. Geographically, we sell our products primarily in the United States.

In addition to continuing to develop our workforce solutions and release of new software updates and enhancements, we continue to actively explore other opportunities to acquire additional products or technologies to complement our current software and services.

Gross Profit and Gross Margin

Consolidated gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $24,400, an increase of $8,936, or 58%, from $15,464 for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Gross margin as a percentage of revenue was 74% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to 64% for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Our increase in gross margin is primarily attributable to the increase in revenue and more efficient operations resulting primarily from a decrease in salaries and benefits driven by consolidation and standardization efforts across the Company, which have reined in costs.

Our cost of sales relates primarily to direct product costs, compensation for operations and related consulting expenses, hardware expenses, facilities and related expenses and the amortization of our purchased software development costs. We include intangible amortization related to developed and acquired technology within cost of sales.

Sales and Marketing Expenses

Sales and marketing expenses primarily consist of salaries and related expenses for sales and marketing staff, including stock-based expenses, commissions, as well as marketing programs, which include events, corporate communications and product marketing activities.

20

Selling and marketing expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2023 were $7,200, an increase of $2,303, or 47%, from $4,897 for the three months ended March 31, 2022, primarily due to increased personnel costs, higher sales commissions owing to increased revenues and higher advertising expense. Selling and marketing expenses as a percentage of revenue increased to 22% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 from 20% for the same period in 2022.

We continue to expand and increase selling costs as we focus on hiring direct sales personnel, expanding recognition of our brand, and lead generation.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses primarily consist of salaries and related expenses, including stock-based expenses for finance and accounting, legal, internal audit, human resources and management information systems personnel, legal costs, professional fees, and other corporate expenses such as transaction costs for acquisitions.

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2023 were $9,956, an increase of $2,471, or 33%, from $7,485 for the three months ended March 31, 2022, primarily attributable to increased personnel, share-based compensation, and contracting costs. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue decreased to 30% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 from 31% for the same period in 2022.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development (“R&D”) expenses consist primarily of salaries and related expenses, including stock-based expenses for employees supporting our R&D activities.

R&D expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2023 were $1,979, an increase of $158, or 9%, from $1,821 for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase in R&D expense is primarily attributable to an increase in personnel costs driven by continued enhancements of our products and technologies. R&D expenses as a percentage of revenue decreased to 6% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 from 7% for the same period in 2022.

We will continue to enhance our products and technologies through expansion of our technological resources by increasing headcount and development partnerships, as well as through organic improvements and acquired intellectual property. We will continue to expand the breadth of integration between our solutions, allowing direct clients and resellers the ability to easily add and implement components across our entire solution set. We believe that our expanded investment in product, engineering, SaaS hosting, mobile and hardware technologies lay the groundwork for broader market opportunities and represents a key aspect of our competitive differentiation. Native mobile applications, common user interface, expanded web service integration and other technologies are all part of our initiatives.

Our development efforts for future releases and enhancements are driven by feedback received from our existing and potential customers and by gauging market trends. We believe we have the appropriate development team to design and enhance our solution suite and integrated platform. We have also made significant investments outside of core R&D into compliance and certifications, including SOC I Type 2 and SOC II Type 2 certifications, BIPA, CCPA, and other initiatives.

Amortization of Intangible Assets

Amortization expense in operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $3,302, a decrease of $130, or 4%, from $3,432 for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Amortization expense as a percentage of revenue decreased to 10% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 from 14% for the same period in 2022, respectively.

Interest Expense, Net

Interest expense, net for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $1,944 compared to $820 for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Interest expense, net as a percentage of revenue was 6% and 3% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022, respectively. The increase in interest expense, net in the current period is primarily due to our credit facility with Structural Capital Investments II LP signed in the third quarter of 2021 as discussed in Note 6 - Notes Payable.

21

Other Income, Net

Other income, net for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $83 compared to $4 for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Other income, net as a percentage of revenue was negligible for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the amounts in other income, net primarily consisted of contingent liability adjustments.

Income Taxes

For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, we recorded an income tax benefit attributable to continuing operations of $237 and expense of $30, respectively, a decrease of $267 or 890%.

Net Income (Loss)

We generated income of $339, or $0.02 per share, during the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to a loss of $3,017, or $0.15 per share, during the three months ended March 31, 2022. Income and loss as a percentage of total revenues was 1% and 12% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES (in thousands)

	March 31, 2023		December 31, 2022
Cash and cash equivalents(1)	$	21,438	$	17,010

(1)This balance excludes cash equivalents in funds held for clients

Working Capital. We had working capital of $14,191 at March 31, 2023, an increase of $6,098 from working capital of $8,093 at December 31, 2022. Working capital as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 includes $4,182 and $8,461 of short-term deferred revenue, respectively. Deferred revenue is an obligation to perform future services. We expect that deferred revenue will convert to future revenue as we perform our services, but this does not represent future payments. Deferred revenue can vary based on seasonality, expiration of initial multi-year contracts and deals that are billed after implementation rather than in advance of service delivery.

Operating Activities. Net cash provided by operating activities of $4,588 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was primarily driven by non-cash adjustments to our net income of approximately $7,787, primarily due to depreciation and amortization. This was offset by changes in operating assets and liabilities, which resulted in a use of $3,538 in cash. Net cash provided by operating activities of $2,530 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was driven by non-cash adjustments to our net loss of approximately $5,967, primarily due to depreciation and amortization, offset by our net loss of $3,017. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, changes in operating assets and liabilities resulted in a use of $420 in cash.

Investing Activities. Net cash used in investing activities of $6,647 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 is primarily due to purchases of available-for-sale securities and maturities of $10,189, offset by proceeds from sales and maturities of available-for-sale securities of $5,426. Net cash used in investing activities of $6,719 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 is primarily due to purchases of available-for-sale securities and maturities of $4,504.

Financing Activities. Net cash provided by financing activities was $21,128 for the three months ended March 31, 2023, which primarily consisted of a net increase in client fund obligations of $19,372. Net cash provided by financing activities was $21,296 for the three months ended March 31, 2022, which consisted solely of a net increase in client fund obligations of $21,296.

Sources of Liquidity. As of March 31, 2023, the Company’s principal sources of liquidity consisted of approximately $21,438 of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, together with cash generated from operations of our business over the next twelve months.

We cannot assure that we can grow our cash balances or limit our cash consumption and thus maintain sufficient cash balances for our planned operations or future acquisitions; however we do believe that we have sufficient liquidity to support our business operations for at least the next twelve months. Future business demands may lead to cash utilization at levels greater than recently experienced. We may need to raise additional capital in the future in order to grow our existing software operations and to seek additional strategic acquisitions in the near future. Further, we cannot assure that we will be able to raise additional capital on acceptable terms, or at all.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

We have prepared our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and included the accounts of our wholly owned subsidiaries. We have eliminated all significant intercompany transactions and balances in the consolidation. Preparation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of the assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at fiscal year-end and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the fiscal year. The more significant estimates made by management include the valuation allowance for our gross deferred tax asset, the determination of the fair value of our long-lived assets. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that management believes are reasonable under the given circumstances. These estimates could be materially different under different conditions and assumptions. Additionally, the actual amounts could differ from the estimates made. Management periodically evaluates estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements for continued reasonableness. We prospectively apply appropriate adjustments, if any, to our estimates based upon our periodic evaluation. For a description of our critical accounting policies, see Management’s Discussion and Analysis in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

There have been no material changes to our exposure from market risks from those disclosed in our 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

23

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Control and Procedures

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports filed or submitted by Asure to the SEC is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported, within the time periods specified by the SEC’s rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to management including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, performed an evaluation to conclude with reasonable assurance that Asure’s disclosure controls and procedures were designed and operating effectively to report the information each company is required to disclose in the reports they file with the SEC on a timely basis. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of Asure have concluded that as of March 31, 2023, disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Change in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

During the period ended March 31, 2023, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

We offer human resources (“HR”) tools necessary to build a thriving workforce, provide the resources to stay compliant with dynamic federal, state, and local tax jurisdictions and their respective labor laws, freeing cash flows so SMBs can spend their financial capital on growing their businesses rather than administrative overhead that can impede growth. Our solutions also provide new ways for employers to connect with and to differentiate themselves with their employees in order to enhance their relationships with their talent. Asure’s HCM suite (“Asure HCM”) includes Payroll & Tax solutions, HR compliance and services, Time & Attendance software and data integrations that enable employers and their employees to enhance efficiencies and take advantage of value-added solutions, which we refer to as AsureMarketplace™. AsureMarketplace™ automates interactions between our HCM systems with third-party providers to enhance efficiency, improve accuracy and to extend the range of services offered to employers and their employees. We offer our services directly and indirectly through our network of Reseller Partners.

We strive to be the most trusted HCM resource to SMBs. We target less densely populated U.S. metropolitan cities where fewer of our competitors have a presence. Our solutions solve three primary challenges that prevent businesses from growing: HR complexity, allocation of human and financial capital, and the ability to build great teams. We have and will continue to invest in research and development to expand our solutions. Our solutions reduce the administrative burden on employers and increase employee productivity while managing the employment lifecycle. The Asure HCM suite includes five product lines: Asure Payroll & Tax, Asure Tax Management Solutions, Asure Time & Attendance, Asure HR Compliance, and AsureMarketplace™.

We develop, market, sell and support our offerings nationwide through our principal office in Austin, Texas and from our processing hubs in California, Florida, Nebraska, New Jersey, New York, Tennessee, and Vermont.

We have prepared the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and accordingly, they do not include all information and footnotes required under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statements.

In the opinion of management, these interim financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal, recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position as of March 31, 2023 and the results of operations, statements of changes in stockholders’ equity for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022, and our statements of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022. Certain amounts in the prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the presentation of the current period financial statements. These reclassifications had no effect on the consolidated financial position or consolidated results of operations of the Company.

These unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with our audited Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto filed with the SEC in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 (our “2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K”).

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

USE OF ESTIMATES

Preparation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of the assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve judgments. The more significant estimates made by management include the valuation allowance for the gross deferred tax assets, the determination of the fair value of its long-lived assets, and the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed during acquisitions. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions management believes reasonable under the given circumstances. These estimates could be materially different under different conditions and assumptions.

CASH, CASH EQUIVALENTS, AND RESTRICTED CASH

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of 90 days or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents include investments in an institutional money market fund, which invests in U.S. Treasury bills, notes and bonds, and/or repurchase agreements, backed by such obligations. Carrying value approximates fair value. Restricted cash consists of cash balances which are restricted as to withdrawal or usage. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had a restricted cash balance of $500 related to the collateralization of a letter of credit issued by South State Bank in connection with its money transmission licenses, which was released in the first quarter of 2023. As of March 31, 2023, the Company had no restricted cash.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740. The amendments also improve consistent application of and simplify GAAP for other areas of Topic 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance. The standard became effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. We adopted ASU 2019-12 during the quarter beginning January 1, 2021, using the prospective approach except for hybrid tax regimes, which we adopted using the modified retrospective approach. The adoption of ASU 2019-12 resulted in no material impact to the Company’s financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326): This update establishes a new approach to estimate credit losses on certain financial instruments. The update requires financial assets measured at amortized cost to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The amended guidance will also update the impairment model for available-for-sale debt securities, requiring entities to determine whether all or a portion of the unrealized loss on such securities is a credit loss. The standard became effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022. Effective January 1, 2023, the Company adopted the provisions of ASU No. 2016-13 and determined that adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

ACCUMULATED OTHER COMPREHENSIVE LOSS

As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, accumulated other comprehensive loss consisted of net unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities.

NOTE 3 - BUSINESS COMBINATIONS AND ASSET ACQUISITIONS

2022

Effective January 1, 2022, the Company acquired customer relationships of a payroll business for a cash payment of $1,970, which included $31 of transaction costs, and the delivery of a promissory note in the amount of $411. The acquired customer relationships are recorded as an intangible asset and are being amortized on a straight-line basis over eight years. See Note 11, Subsequent Events for information regarding payments made on this promissory note occurring after March 31, 2023.

2021 and 2020

In September 2021, the Company acquired certain assets of two payroll businesses, which were used to provide payroll processing services. In connection with these acquisitions there are two outstanding promissory notes payable in the amounts of $2,223 and $4,080 as of March 31, 2023. One promissory note also includes contingent consideration for which we utilized a Monte Carlo simulation to determine the fair value of the contingent consideration as of March 31, 2023. For the quarter ended March 31, 2023, there was a measurement period adjustment to the fair value of a decrease in the contingent consideration of $69. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the fair value of the contingent consideration was $587, which will be added to promissory note in the second quarter of 2023. See Note 11, Subsequent Events for information regarding an adjustment to the promissory note for additional contingent consideration occurring after March 31, 2023.

In July 2020, we acquired certain assets of a payroll tax business. The Asset Purchase Agreement set forth two subsequent purchase consideration payments, which are contingent on certain thresholds. The first contingent purchase consideration was paid in June 2021. The outstanding contingent purchase consideration of $2,299 was valued based on the trailing twelve-month revenue at October 31, 2021 and is due to be paid on July 1, 2023.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 820 “Fair Value Measurement” (ASC 820) defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under U.S. GAAP and enhances disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. ASC 820 describes a fair value hierarchy based on the following three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable:

Level 1:	Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2:	Quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active for identical or similar assets or liabilities; and model-driven valuations whose significant inputs are observable; and
Level 3:	Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The following table presents the fair value hierarchy for our financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively (in thousands):

(1)Unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities are included as a component of comprehensive loss. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were 23 and 3 securities, respectively, in an unrealized gain position and there were 114 and 124 securities in an unrealized loss position, respectively. As of March 31, 2023, these unrealized losses were less than $81 individually and $2,071 in the aggregate. As of December 31, 2022, these unrealized losses were less than $96 individually and $2,480 in the aggregate. These securities have not been in a continuous unrealized gain or loss position for more than 12 months. We do not intend to sell these investments and we do not expect to sell these investments before recovery of their amortized cost basis, which may be at maturity. We review our investments to identify and evaluate investments that indicate credit losses. Factors considered in determining whether a loss is a credit loss include the length of time and extent to which fair value has been less than the cost basis, the credit rating of the investment, and our intent and ability to hold the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in market value.

(2)At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, none of these securities were classified as cash and cash equivalents on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Funds held for clients represent assets that the Company has classified as restricted for use solely for the purposes of satisfying the obligations to remit funds relating to the Company’s payroll and payroll tax filing services, which are classified as client funds obligations on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Goodwill	$	86,011	$	—	$	86,011

We believe significant synergies are expected to arise from our strategic acquisitions and their assembled work forces. This factor contributed to a purchase price that was in excess of the fair value of the net assets acquired and, as a result, we recorded goodwill for each acquisition. A portion of acquired goodwill will be amortizable for tax purposes. As of March 31, 2023, there has been no impairment of goodwill based on the qualitative assessments performed by the Company.

We record amortization expenses using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the intangible assets, as noted above. Amortization expenses recorded in Operating Expenses were $3,302 and $3,432 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Amortization expenses recorded in Cost of Sales were $268 and $296 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. There was no impairment of intangibles during the three months ended March 31, 2023 based on the qualitative assessment performed by the Company. However, if market, political and other conditions over which we have no control continue to affect the capital markets and our stock price declines, we may experience an impairment of our intangibles in future quarters.

Subordinated Notes Payable - Acquisitions

In January 2023, the Company resolved the outstanding claims for indemnification for which it was holding back payment of the subordinated note payable as security for such claim. As a result of the resolution of those claims, the remaining balance of $232 has been paid to the Seller ($182) and to the claimant ($50) in satisfaction of its claim. There are no further amounts due or owing under this subordinated note payable.

There remains an outstanding contingent consideration of $587 in connection with a payroll business acquired in September 2021, which will be added to the promissory note issued in connection with the acquisition in the second quarter of 2023. See Note 11, Subsequent Events for information regarding an adjustment to the promissory note for additional contingent consideration occurring after March 31, 2023.

Senior Credit Facility with Structural Capital Investments III, LP

On September 10, 2021, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with Structural Capital Investments III, LP (“Structural” and together with the other lenders that are or become parties thereto, the “Lenders”), and Ocean II PLO LLC, as administrative and collateral agent for Structural and the Lenders (“Agent”), under the terms of which the Lenders have committed to lend us up to $50,000 in term loan financing to support our growth needs (the “Facility”) until June 30, 2022. Of the amount committed by the Lenders, the Company drew $30,000 in September 2021, at the closing and the remaining $20,000 has lapsed. The Company also entered into a secured promissory note with the Agent evidencing our obligations under the Facility. The Company’s obligations are further guaranteed by each of our subsidiaries and secured by our assets and the assets of our subsidiaries.

At the onset of the agreement, we paid to the Lenders an origination fee of $500. Interest accrues on any outstanding balance at a rate equal to the greater of 9.0% or the Prime Rate, plus 5.75% (the “Basic Rate”) and is payable in advance, which as of March 31, 2023 was 13.75%. In addition, interest is paid in kind (“PIK”) at a rate of 1.00% or 1.25% based on our APR Ratio, measured on a quarterly basis. The PIK interest is added to our outstanding balance and accrues interest at the Basic Rate. Interest only payments are due until October 2023, with an option to extend until October 2024, dependent on certain financial or revenue metrics before the end of the first twenty-four months of the Facility.

Principal payments begin after the expiration of the interest only period, and are based on a five year amortization schedule, with a balloon payment due in October 2025. The table above in this Note 6 — Notes Payable summarizing future principal payments assumes the Company will not extend the period of interest only payments to October 2024. Upon payment in full of the obligations under the Facility, we are to pay Lenders a final payment fee equal to 1.0% of the increase in our market capitalization since the onset of the agreement, at that time valued at $182,400.

The Company has agreed to provide the Lenders the right to participate in a future offering—whether public or private—on the same terms and conditions as other investors for an amount not to exceed $3,000.

There are no financial covenants if our net cash position is equal to or greater than zero. If our net cash position is less than zero, the Company would be subject to the following financial covenants: (i) unrestricted cash of no less than $5,000, (ii) maintain an APR ratio of no less than 0.70:1.00 through September 10, 2023, and (iii) maintain an APR ratio of no less than 0.60:1.00 from September 10, 2023 through the remainder of the term of the Facility. The APR ratio would be the ratio of our tested debt to our annual recurring revenue and would be measured on a quarterly basis. Our Tested Debt consists of our outstanding obligations under the Facility (exclusive of PIK interest) and any indebtedness issued or earnouts owed to sellers in connection with acquisitions.

NOTE 7 – CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS AND REVENUE CONCENTRATION

Receivables

Receivables from contracts with customers, net of allowance for doubtful accounts of $4,027, were $14,762 at March 31, 2023. Receivables from contracts with customers, net of allowance for doubtful accounts of $3,248, were $12,123 at December 31, 2022. The increase in the receivable balance during the first quarter of 2023 is primarily due to deferred payment terms on many of our Earned Retention Tax Credit commitments. No customers represented more than 10% of our net accounts receivable balance as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

Deferred Commissions

Deferred commission costs from contracts with customers were $7,525 and $6,660 at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The amount of amortization recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $496, and for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $345.

Deferred Revenue

During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022, revenue of $5,613 and $3,058, respectively, was recognized from the deferred revenue balance at the beginning of each period.

Transaction Price Allocated to the Remaining Performance Obligations

As of March 31, 2023, approximately $21,295 of revenue is expected to be recognized from remaining performance obligations. We expect to recognize revenue on approximately 92% of these remaining performance obligations over the next 12 months, with the balance recognized thereafter.

Revenue Concentration

During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, there were no customers that individually represented 10% or more of consolidated revenue.

Leases

NOTE 8 - LEASES

We have entered into office space lease agreements, which qualify as operating leases under ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)”. Under such leases, the lessors receive annual minimum (base) rent. The leases have original terms (excluding extension options) ranging from one year to ten years. Our lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

We record base rent expense under the straight-line method over the term of the lease. In the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss), rent expense is included in operating expenses under general and administrative expenses. The components of the rent expense for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 are as follows (in thousands):

For purposes of calculating the operating lease assets and lease liabilities, extension options are not included in the lease term unless it is reasonably certain we will exercise the option, or the lessor has the sole ability to exercise the option. The weighted average discount rate of our operating leases is 8% as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The weighted average remaining lease term is five years and five years as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

Share-based Payment Arrangement [Text Block]

NOTE 9 - SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

We have one active equity plan, the 2018 Incentive Award Plan (the “2018 Plan”). The 2018 Plan, approved by our shareholders, replaced our 2009 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended (the “2009 Plan”), however, the terms and conditions of the 2009 Plan will continue to govern any outstanding awards granted thereunder. In January 2023, we granted Performance Stock Units (“PSU”) to certain members of management under the 2018 Plan. Each PSU will convert into one restricted stock unit (“RSU”) at the end of the performance period. The number of RSUs into which the PSUs convert for each member of management who received the award will be a sliding scale between 0% to 200% of the target amount based on the Company’s achievement of certain performance metrics tied to the Company’s recurring revenue and gross profit for 2023. Once converted, the RSU will vest as follows: one-third on the date the PSU is converted (which is expected to be between January 1, 2024, and March 31, 2024), one-third will vest on January 2, 2025, and one-third will vest on January 2, 2026.

The number of shares available for issuance under the 2018 Plan is equal to 4,350 shares. We have an aggregate of 2,549 options, RSUs and PSUs granted and outstanding pursuant to the 2018 Plan as of March 31, 2023. As of March 31, 2023, the number of shares available for future grant under the 2018 Plan is 1,632.

Share based compensation for our stock option plans for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022 was $1,337 and $729, respectively. We issued 277 shares of common stock related to exercises of stock options for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and issued no shares of common stock related to exercises for the three months ended March 31, 2022. We issued 98 and 43 shares of common stock upon the vesting of restricted stock units for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively

NET LOSS PER SHARE

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]

NET LOSS PER SHARE

NET EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

We compute net income or loss per share based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net income per share reflects the maximum dilution that would have resulted from incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options or vesting of RSUs and in some cases PSUs. In periods of net income, we compute the adjustment to the denominator of our dilutive net earnings per share calculation to include these stock options, RSUs, and PSUs, as applicable, using the treasury stock method. Regardless of the period resulting in net income or net loss, we exclude the adjustment to the denominator of our dilutive net earnings (loss) per share calculation to the extent that they are anti-dilutive.

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, we included an adjustment to the denominator of our dilutive earnings per share calculation for 773 options and RSUs but excluded 79 shares related to PSUs as these instruments would not be considered vested if we were at the end of the contingency period. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, we have excluded stock options and restricted stock units of 309 as they were anti-dilutive.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per common share for the three months ended March 31 (in thousands, except per share amounts):

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2023		2022

As a result, the fair value of the contingent consideration of $587 was added as an increase to the principal balance due on the promissory note. In May 2023, the Company paid the outstanding balance of a subordinated note payable in connection with the acquisition of customer relationships of a payroll business that took place in 2022. As a result, the remaining balance of $422 has been paid to the seller consisting of $411 in principal and $11 in accrued interest.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740. The amendments also improve consistent application of and simplify GAAP for other areas of Topic 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance. The standard became effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. We adopted ASU 2019-12 during the quarter beginning January 1, 2021, using the prospective approach except for hybrid tax regimes, which we adopted using the modified retrospective approach. The adoption of ASU 2019-12 resulted in no material impact to the Company’s financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326): This update establishes a new approach to estimate credit losses on certain financial instruments. The update requires financial assets measured at amortized cost to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The amended guidance will also update the impairment model for available-for-sale debt securities, requiring entities to determine whether all or a portion of the unrealized loss on such securities is a credit loss. The standard became effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022. Effective January 1, 2023, the Company adopted the provisions of ASU No. 2016-13 and determined that adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Cash and Cash Equivalents, Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents, Policy

CASH, CASH EQUIVALENTS, AND RESTRICTED CASHThe Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of 90 days or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents include investments in an institutional money market fund, which invests in U.S. Treasury bills, notes and bonds, and/or repurchase agreements, backed by such obligations. Carrying value approximates fair value. Restricted cash consists of cash balances which are restricted as to withdrawal or usage. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had a restricted cash balance of $500 related to the collateralization of a letter of credit issued by South State Bank in connection with its money transmission licenses, which was released in the first quarter of 2023. As of March 31, 2023, the Company had no restricted cash.

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

ACCUMULATED OTHER COMPREHENSIVE LOSS

As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, accumulated other comprehensive loss consisted of net unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities.

Use of Estimates

USE OF ESTIMATES

Preparation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of the assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve judgments. The more significant estimates made by management include the valuation allowance for the gross deferred tax assets, the determination of the fair value of its long-lived assets, and the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed during acquisitions. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions management believes reasonable under the given circumstances. These estimates could be materially different under different conditions and assumptions.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments, Policy

Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 820 “Fair Value Measurement” (ASC 820) defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under U.S. GAAP and enhances disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. ASC 820 describes a fair value hierarchy based on the following three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable:

Level 1:	Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2:	Quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active for identical or similar assets or liabilities; and model-driven valuations whose significant inputs are observable; and
Level 3:	Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

(1)Unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities are included as a component of comprehensive loss. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were 23 and 3 securities, respectively, in an unrealized gain position and there were 114 and 124 securities in an unrealized loss position, respectively. As of March 31, 2023, these unrealized losses were less than $81 individually and $2,071 in the aggregate. As of December 31, 2022, these unrealized losses were less than $96 individually and $2,480 in the aggregate. These securities have not been in a continuous unrealized gain or loss position for more than 12 months. We do not intend to sell these investments and we do not expect to sell these investments before recovery of their amortized cost basis, which may be at maturity. We review our investments to identify and evaluate investments that indicate credit losses. Factors considered in determining whether a loss is a credit loss include the length of time and extent to which fair value has been less than the cost basis, the credit rating of the investment, and our intent and ability to hold the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in market value.

NOTE 3 - BUSINESS COMBINATIONS AND ASSET ACQUISITIONS

2022

Effective January 1, 2022, the Company acquired customer relationships of a payroll business for a cash payment of $1,970, which included $31 of transaction costs, and the delivery of a promissory note in the amount of $411. The acquired customer relationships are recorded as an intangible asset and are being amortized on a straight-line basis over eight years. See Note 11, Subsequent Events for information regarding payments made on this promissory note occurring after March 31, 2023.

2021 and 2020

In September 2021, the Company acquired certain assets of two payroll businesses, which were used to provide payroll processing services. In connection with these acquisitions there are two outstanding promissory notes payable in the amounts of $2,223 and $4,080 as of March 31, 2023. One promissory note also includes contingent consideration for which we utilized a Monte Carlo simulation to determine the fair value of the contingent consideration as of March 31, 2023. For the quarter ended March 31, 2023, there was a measurement period adjustment to the fair value of a decrease in the contingent consideration of $69. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the fair value of the contingent consideration was $587, which will be added to promissory note in the second quarter of 2023. See Note 11, Subsequent Events for information regarding an adjustment to the promissory note for additional contingent consideration occurring after March 31, 2023.

In July 2020, we acquired certain assets of a payroll tax business. The Asset Purchase Agreement set forth two subsequent purchase consideration payments, which are contingent on certain thresholds. The first contingent purchase consideration was paid in June 2021. The outstanding contingent purchase consideration of $2,299 was valued based on the trailing twelve-month revenue at October 31, 2021 and is due to be paid on July 1, 2023.
