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 software-as-a-service (“SaaS”) time and labor management and Agile Workplace management solutions that enable organizations to manage their office environments as well as their human resource and payroll processes effectively and efficiently. Asure develops, markets, sells and supports its offerings worldwide through its principal office in Austin, Texas and through additional offices in Tampa, Florida, Traverse City, Michigan, Vermont, and London, United Kingdom.

We have prepared the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and accordingly, they do not include all information and footnotes required under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles 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 September 30, 2017, the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, and the cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.

You should read these condensed consolidated financial statements in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016.  The results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for a full fiscal year.

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

Cash and cash equivalents include cash deposits and highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased.

RESTRICTED CASH

Restricted cash represents a certificate of deposit held in a cash collateral account as required by our operating lease for iSystems, LLC, which we acquired in May 2017. See Note 4- Acquisitions for further detail of the acquisition.

LIQUIDITY

As of September 30, 2017, Asure’s principal sources of liquidity consisted of approximately $27,464 of cash and cash equivalents, future cash generated from operations and $5,000 available for borrowing under our Wells Fargo revolver discussed in Note 6 – Notes Payable. We believe that we have and/or will generate sufficient cash for our short- and long-term needs, including meeting the requirements of our term loan, and the related debt covenant requirements. We continue to seek reductions in our expenses as a percentage of revenue on an annual basis and thus may utilize our cash balances in the short-term to reduce long-term costs. Based on current internal projections, we believe that we have and/or will generate sufficient cash for our operational needs, including any required debt payments, for at least the next twelve months from the issuance of the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Management is focused on growing our existing product offering, as well as our customer base, to increase our recurring revenues. We have made and will continue to explore additional strategic acquisitions. We expect to fund any future acquisitions with equity, available cash, future cash from operations, or debt from outside sources.

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. Future business demands may lead to cash utilization at levels greater than recently experienced. We may need to raise additional capital in the future. However, we cannot assure that we will be able to raise additional capital on acceptable terms, or at all. Subject to the foregoing, management believes that we have sufficient capital and liquidity to fund and cultivate the growth of our current and future operations for at least the next twelve months from the issuance of these financial statements and to maintain compliance with the terms of our debt agreements and related covenants or to obtain compliance through debt repayments made with the available cash on hand or anticipated for receipt in the ordinary course of operations.

RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

Recently Adopted Standards

In July 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2015-11, “Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory”. Inventory within the scope of this update is required to be measured at the lower of its cost or net realizable value, with net realizable value being the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. This ASU is effective prospectively for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. We adopted the provisions of ASU 2015-11 on January 1, 2017. This adoption did not have any impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting.”. The purpose of ASU 2016-09 is to simplify the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification of such activity on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that year. Prospective, retrospective, or modified retrospective application may be used dependent on the specific requirements of the amendments within ASU 2016-09. Effective January 1, 2017, the Company adopted ASU 2016-09 on a prospective basis. As such, prior periods have not been adjusted.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, “Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment (Topic 350)”, which eliminates Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. ASU 2017-04 is effective for annual and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed after January 1, 2017 and should be applied prospectively. We adopted the provisions of ASU 2017-04 on January 1, 2017. The adoption did not have any impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, “Business Combinations (Topic 806): Clarifying the Definition of a Business”, which provides guidance in evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses.  The definition of a business affects many areas of accounting, including acquisitions, disposals, goodwill, and consolidation.  The guidance is effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. We adopted this standard early as of January 1, 2017 as permitted under the standard.  The adoption did not have any impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Standards Yet To Be Adopted

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASU 2014-09”). ASU 2014-09 supersedes a majority of existing revenue recognition guidance under US GAAP, and requires companies to recognize revenue when it transfers goods or services to a customer in an amount that reflects the consideration to which a company expects to be entitled. Companies may need to apply more judgment and estimation techniques or methods while recognizing revenue, which could result in additional disclosures to the financial statements. In addition, in March 2016, April 2016, May 2016 and December 2016 the FASB issued ASU 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net) (“ASU 2016-08”), ASU 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing (“ASU 2016-10”), ASU 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients (“ASU 2016-12”) and ASU 2016-20, Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2016-20”), respectively, to amend certain guidance in ASU 2014-09. Topic 606 allows for either a retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. ASU 2014-09 was originally effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. In July 2015, the FASB approved a one-year deferral of ASU 2014-09 and all amendments to it, with a new effective date for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 with early adoption permitted as of the original effective date.

We plan to adopt ASU 2014-09, as well as other clarifications and technical guidance issued by the FASB related to this new revenue standard, on January 1, 2018. We have developed our plan for implementing the new standard, which includes, but is not limited to, identifying contract populations and “in scope” customer contracts, identifying performance obligations in those customer contracts, and evaluating any impact of variable consideration. The Company has evaluated the transition methods and will likely apply the modified retrospective transition method, which would result in an adjustment to retained earnings for the cumulative effect, if any, of applying the standard to contracts that are not completed at the date of initial application. Under this method, we would not restate the prior financial statements presented, therefore the new standard requires us to provide additional disclosures of the amount by which each financial statement line item is affected in the current reporting period during 2018, as compared to the guidance that was in effect before the change, and an explanation of the reasons for significant changes, if any.

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

The impact that the new revenue recognition standard will have on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures has not yet been fully assessed.  However, we do not expect the provisions of the new standard to have a material effect on the timing or amount of revenue we recognize. Our assessment also includes determining the impact the new standard may have on the revenue reporting processes, including disclosures, ensuring internal controls will operate effectively with the new standard and performing gap analyses on collected data and determining the relative accounting positions where applicable. Included in our assessment of the new standard, is the potential impact on sales commissions and the term over which they will amortize.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)”.  The core principle of the standard is that a lessee should recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from leases. A lessee should recognize in its statement of financial position a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. We will be required to adopt the new standard in the first quarter of 2019. We are currently evaluating the impact ASU 2016-02 will have on our consolidated financial statements.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments” which eliminates the diversity in practice related to eight cash flow classification issues.  This ASU is effective for on January 1, 2018 with early adoption permitted.  We believe its adoption will not significantly impact our consolidated financial statements.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash,” which requires the change in restricted cash or cash equivalents to be included with other changes in cash and cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. We believe its adoption will not significantly impact our consolidated financial statements.

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718) Scope of Modification Accounting,” which clarifies when to account for a change in the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award as a modification. ASU 2017-09 requires modification accounting only if the fair value, the vesting conditions, or the classification of the award (as equity or liability) changes as a result of the change in terms or conditions. ASU 2017-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. We do not expect the adoption of this accounting standard to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations, cash flows, or presentation thereof.

CONTINGENCIES

Although Asure has been, and in the future may be, the defendant or plaintiff in various actions arising in the normal course of business, as of September 30, 2017, we were not party to any pending legal proceedings.

NOTE 3 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. 

ASC 820 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which is based on the reliability of the inputs used in measuring fair values. These tiers include:

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.

NOTE 4 – ACQUISITIONS

2017 Acquisitions

In January 2017, we closed three strategic acquisitions: Personnel Management Systems, Inc., a provider of outsourced HR solutions; Corporate Payroll, Inc. (Payroll Division), a provider of payroll services; and Payroll Specialties NW, Inc., a provider of payroll services. 

In May 2017, we closed two strategic acquisitions: iSystems, LLC and Compass HRM. iSystems LLC, through its flagship product, Evolution HCM, offers payroll, tax management and HR software combined with comprehensive back-end service bureau tools to service providers across the United States. Tampa-based Compass HRM is a current reseller of our HCM offering (formerly Mangrove), which provides human resources solutions that enhance organizations, people, and profits through payroll and HR solutions. The acquisition of Compass HRM expands our reach in the Southeast, particularly Florida. 

Stock Purchase Agreement

In January 2017, we closed on the acquisition of all of the outstanding shares of common stock (the “Shares”) of Personnel Management Systems, Inc., a Washington corporation (“PMSI”), pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”), among us, PMSI, the sellers identified therein, and the stockholders’ representative named therein. The aggregate consideration for the Shares consisted of (i) $3,875 in cash and (ii) a subordinated promissory note (the “PMSI Note”) in the principal amount of $1,125 subject to adjustment as provided in the Stock Purchase Agreement. We funded the cash payment with proceeds from our recent underwritten public offering in June 2017. The PMSI Note bears interest at an annual rate of 2.0% and matures on April 30, 2018. The entire unpaid principal and all accrued interest under the PMSI Note is payable at maturity. The Stock Purchase Agreement contains certain customary representations, warranties, indemnities and covenants.

In January 2017, we closed on the acquisition of substantially all the assets of Corporate Payroll, Inc., an Ohio corporation (“CPI”), relating to its payroll service bureau business, pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “CPI Asset Purchase Agreement”). The aggregate consideration for the assets consisted of (i) $1,500 in cash, (ii) a subordinated promissory note (the “CPI Note”) in the principal amount of $500 and (iii) 112,166 shares of our common stock valued at $1,000, subject to adjustment as provided in the CPI Asset Purchase Agreement. We funded the cash payment with proceeds from our recent underwritten public offering in June 2017. The CPI Note bears no interest and matures on April 30, 2018. The entire unpaid principal under the CPI Note is payable at maturity. The recipient of the shares of our common stock entered into a six month lock-up agreement with us. The CPI Asset Purchase Agreement contains certain

customary representations, warranties, indemnities and covenants.

The entire unpaid principal and all accrued interest under the PSNW Note is payable at maturity. The PSNW Asset Purchase Agreement contains certain customary representations, warranties, indemnities and covenants.

Equity Purchase Agreement

In May 2017, we entered into an equity purchase agreement (the “Equity Purchase Agreement”) with iSystems Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Seller”), and iSystems Intermediate Holdco, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“iSystems”), pursuant to which we acquired 100% of the outstanding equity interests of iSystems for an aggregate purchase price of $55,000, subject to adjustment as provided in the Equity Purchase Agreement. The aggregate purchase price consists of (i) $32,000 in cash, subject to adjustment, (ii) a secured subordinated promissory note (“iSystems Note”) in the principal amount of $5,000, subject to adjustment, and (iii) 1,526,332 shares of unregistered common stock valued at $18,000 based on a volume-weighted average of the closing prices of our common stock during a 90-day period. The iSystems Note bears interest at an annual rate of 3.5% and matures on May 25, 2019. The unpaid principal and all accrued interest under the promissory note is payable in two installments of $2.5 million on May 25, 2018 and May 25, 2019, subject to adjustment. The Equity Purchase Agreement contains certain customary representations, warranties, indemnities and covenants.

To finance the iSystems acquisition, we amended and restated our existing credit agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent (the “Restated Credit Agreement”) to add an additional term loan in the amount of approximately $40,000, of which we borrowed approximately $32,000 to complete the iSystems acquisition. See Note 6- Notes Payable for further detail.

In connection with the iSystems acquisition, we also entered into an investor rights agreement (the “Investor Rights Agreement”) with the Seller. Pursuant to the terms of the Investor Rights Agreement, until May 2018, the holders of the registrable securities received in connection with the acquisition have agreed not to directly or indirectly transfer, sell, make any short sale or otherwise dispose of any of our equity securities and not to vote any of our equity securities or solicit proxies other than in favor of each director that our board recommends for election, against any director that our board has not nominated for election, and in accordance with the recommendation of our board on any other matters, subject to certain exceptions. In addition, under the Investor Rights Agreement, holders of the registrable securities have demand registration rights which allow a registration statement to be filed on or about March 31, 2018 and piggyback registration rights which become effective in May 2018. In addition, under the terms of the Investor Rights Agreement, such holders have the right to nominate one director to our board of directors until the first date that the holders of the registrable securities no longer hold more than the lesser of (x) 5% of our outstanding common stock (as equitably adjusted for any stock splits, stock combinations, reorganizations, exchanges, merger, recapitalizations or similar transaction after the date hereof) and (y) 90% of the shares of our common stock held by such holders as of May 25, 2017. The director nominee appointed by the holders is Daniel Gill. Our board appointed him to serve as a director on June 6, 2017.  Mr. Gill is a founder and a co-managing partner of Silver Oak Services Partners, a private equity firm. In 2014 Silver Oak acquired iSystems, LLC (currently, a wholly owned subsidiary of iSystems) and Mr. Gill served on the board of directors of iSystems, LLC.

Stock Purchase Agreement

In May 2017, we entered into a stock purchase agreement (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”) with Compass HRM, Inc. (“Compass”) and the sellers and seller representative named therein, pursuant to which the sellers sold 100% of the outstanding shares of capital stock of Compass to us for an aggregate purchase price of $6,000, subject to adjustment as provided in the Stock Purchase Agreement. The aggregate purchase price consists of $4,500 in cash and a subordinated promissory note (“Compass Note”) in the principal amount of $1,500, subject to adjustment. The Compass Note bears interest at an annual rate of 2.0% and matures on May 25, 2022. The Compass Note is payable in five annual installments of $300 on the anniversary of the closing date, subject to adjustment. Compass is headquartered in Tampa, Florida, and provides cloud-based human resource management software, including payroll, benefits, time and attendance, and performance management.

To finance the Compass acquisition, we incurred approximately $4,500 of additional indebtedness pursuant to an additional term loan under our Restated Credit Agreement. See Note 6 –Notes Payable for further details.

Purchase Price Allocation

Following is the purchase price allocation for the 2017 acquisitions. We based the preliminary fair value estimate for the assets acquired and liabilities assumed for these acquisitions upon preliminary calculations and valuations.  Our estimates and assumptions for these acquisition are subject to change as we obtain additional information for our estimates during the respective measurement periods (up to one year from the acquisition date). The primary areas of those preliminary estimates that we have not yet finalized relate to certain tangible assets and liabilities acquired, and income and non-income based taxes.

We recorded the transactions using the acquisition method of accounting and recognized assets and liabilities assumed at their fair value as of the dates of acquisitions. The $24,628 of intangible assets subject to amortization consist of $21,505 allocated to Customer Relationships, $1,521 for Trade Names, $1,010 for Developed Technology, and $592 for Noncompete.  To value the Trade Names, we employed the relief from royalty method under the market approach. For the Noncompetes, we employed a form of the income approach which analyzes the Company’s profitability with these assets in place, in contrast to the Company’s profitability without them. For the Customer Relationships and Developed Technology, we employed a form of the excess earnings method, which is a form of the income approach. The discount rate used in valuing these assets ranged from 14.0% to 17.0%, which reflects the risk associated with the intangible assets related to the other assets and the overall business operations to us. We estimated the fair values of the Trade Names using the relief from royalty method based upon a 1.7% royalty rate.  

We believe significant synergies are expected to arisefrom these strategic acquisitions. 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 deductible for tax purposes.

We based the allocations on fair values at the date of acquisition:

2016 Acquisitions

Through the stock and asset purchases described below, we have entered into the human resource management, payroll processing and benefits administration services businesses, which we intend to integrate into our existing AsureForce® product line.

Stock Purchase Agreement

In March 2016, we acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock (the “Shares”) of Mangrove Employer Services, Inc. of Tampa, Florida (“Mangrove”). Pursuant to this stock purchase, we acquired the payroll division of Mangrove, which is engaged in the human resource management and payroll processing businesses. The aggregate consideration for the Shares consisted of (i) $11,348 in cash, a portion of which was used to pay certain obligations of Mangrove and (ii) a secured subordinated promissory note (the “Note”) in the principal amount of $6,000, subject to adjustment as provided in the Stock Purchase Agreement. We funded the cash payment with proceeds from our credit agreement with Wells Fargo. The Note was paid in full in the first quarter of 2017. The Stock Purchase Agreement contains certain customary representations, warranties, indemnities and covenants. Details regarding the financing of the acquisition are described under Note 6- Notes Payable. Transaction costs for this acquisition were $706 and we expensed them as incurred and included in selling, general and administrative expenses.

Asset Purchase Agreement

In March 2016, we also acquired substantially all the assets of Mangrove COBRAsource Inc., a benefits administration services business which then was a wholly owned subsidiary of Mangrove. The aggregate consideration for the assets was $1,036, which Mangrove COBRAsource applied to pay off certain loan balances. The Asset Purchase Agreement contains certain customary representations, warranties, indemnities and covenants.

Purchase Price Allocation

Following is the purchase price allocation for the acquisition of Mangrove.

We recorded the transaction using the acquisition method of accounting and recognized assets and liabilities assumed at their fair value as of the date of acquisition. The $8,700 of intangible assets subject to amortization consist of $1,200 allocated to Customer Relationships, $6,900 in Developed Technology and $600 for Trade Names.  We estimated the fair value of the Customer Relationships and Developed Technology using the excess earnings method, a form of the income approach. We discounted cash flow projections using a rate of 18.1%, which reflects the risk associated with the intangible asset related to the other assets and the overall business operations to us. We estimated the fair value of the Trade Names using the relief from royalty method based upon a 1.2% royalty rate for the payroll division and 0.5% for the benefits administration services business.  

We believe significant synergies are expected to arisefrom this strategic acquisition. 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. A portion of acquired goodwill will be deductible for tax purposes.

NOTE 5 – GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Asure accounted for its historical acquisitions in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations.  We recorded the amount exceeding the fair value of net assets acquired at the date of acquisition as goodwill. We recorded intangible assets apart from goodwill if the assets had contractual or other legal rights or if the assets could be separated and sold, transferred, licensed, rented or exchanged. Asure’s goodwill relates to the following acquisitions: ADI and Legiant in 2011, PeopleCube in 2012, FotoPunch and Roomtag in 2014, Mangrove in 2016, PMSI, CPI and PSNW in January 2017, and iSystems and Compass in May 2017. 

As part of the acquisition of iSystems in May 2017, we acquired software development costs. We continue to invest in software development. We are developing products which we intend to offer utilizing software as-a-service (“SaaS”).We follow the guidance of ASC 350-40, Intangibles- Goodwill and Other- Internal Use Software, for development costs related to these new products. Cost incurred in the planning stage are expensed as incurred while costs incurred in the application and infrastructure stage are capitalized, assuming such costs are deemed to be recoverable. Costs incurred in the operating stage are generally expensed as incurred except for significant upgrades and enhancements. Capitalized software costs are amortized over the software’s estimated useful life, which management has determined to be three years. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, we capitalized $702 and $804, respectively, of software development costs. No software development costs were recorded in 2016.

In accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other, we review and evaluate our long-lived assets, including intangible assets with finite lives, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that we may not recover their net book value. We test goodwill for impairment on an annual basis in the fourth fiscal quarter of each year, and between annual tests, if indicators of potential impairment exist, using a fair-value-based approach. There has been no impairment of goodwill for the periods presented. We amortize intangible assets not considered to have an indefinite useful life using the straight-line method over their estimated period of benefit, which generally ranges from one to nine years. Each reporting period, we evaluate the estimated remaining useful life of intangible assets and assess whether events or changes in circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining period of amortization or indicate that impairment exists. We have not identified any impairments of finite-lived intangible assets during any of the periods presented. 

The following table summarizes the changes in our goodwill:

Balance at December 31, 2016	$	26,259
Goodwill recognized upon acquisitions of PMSI, CPI, PSNW, iSystems and Compass		49,318
Adjustment to Goodwill associated with acquisition of Mangrove		272

The Credit Agreement contains customary events of default, including, among others, payment defaults, covenant defaults, judgment defaults, bankruptcy and insolvency events, cross defaults to certain indebtedness, incorrect representations or warranties, and change of control. In some cases, the defaults are subject to customary notice and grace period provisions. In March 2014 and in connection with the Credit Agreement, we and our wholly-owned active subsidiaries entered into a Guaranty and Security Agreement with Wells Fargo Bank. Under the Guaranty and Security Agreement, we and each of our wholly-owned active subsidiaries have guaranteed all obligations under the Credit Agreement and granted a security interest in substantially all of our and our subsidiaries’ assets.

The Credit Agreement provided for a term loan in the amount of $15,000 maturing in March 2019.

The Credit Agreement also provided for a revolving loan commitment in the aggregate amount of up to $3,000. The outstanding principal amount of the revolving loan is due and payable in March 2019. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, $0 was outstanding and $5,000 was available for borrowing under the revolver. Additionally, the Credit Agreement provided for a $10,000 uncommitted incremental term loan facility to support permitted acquisitions.

In March 2017, we amended our Credit Agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A to, among other things, obtain an additional term loan in the amount of $5,000. In the first quarter of 2017, we used the proceeds of the additional term loan to repay a portion of all amounts outstanding under the secured subordinated note we issued in connection with the Mangrove acquisition.

Amended and Restated Credit Agreement

In May 2017, we entered into an amended and restated credit agreement (the “Restated Credit Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Bank, N. A., as administrative agent, and the lenders that are parties thereto, amending and restating the terms of the Credit Agreement dated as of March 2014, as amended.

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

The Restated Credit Agreement provides for an increase in the aggregate principal amount of total commitments from approximately $32,714 to $75,000. This increase includes an additional term loan commitment of approximately $40,286 and an additional revolver commitment of $2,000.  The term loan consists of a $35,000 “First Out Loan Obligation” funded by Wells Fargo as administrative agent, and a $35,000 “Last Out Loan Obligation” funded by Wells Fargo’s syndicate partner, Goldman Sachs.

The Restated Credit Agreement amends the applicable margin rates for determining the interest rate payable on outstanding First Out and Last Out loan obligations as follows:

Leverage Ratio	First Out Base Rate Margin	First Out LIBOR Rate Margin	Last Out Base Rate Margin	Last Out LIBOR Rate Margin
< 3.25:1	2.00 Percentage Points	3.00 Percentage Points	7.00 Percentage Points	8.00 Percentage Points
> 3.25:1	2.50 Percentage Points	3.50 Percentage Points	7.50 Percentage Points	8.50 Percentage Points

The outstanding principal amount of the term loan is payable in equal installments of $875 beginning on September 30, 2017 and the last day of each fiscal quarter thereafter. The outstanding principal balance and all accrued and unpaid interest on the term loan is due on May 25, 2022.

The Restated Credit Agreement also:

·amends our leverage ratio covenant to increase the maximum ratio to 5.75:1 at June 30, 2017, stepping down to 3.25:1 at June 30, 2020 and each quarter-end thereafter;

·amends our fixed charge coverage ratio to be not less than 1.35:1 at June 30, 2017 and September 30, 2017, not less than 1.45:1 at December 31, 2017, and not less than 1.50:1 beginning with the quarter ending March 31, 2018 and each quarter-end thereafter; and

·adds a Trailing Twelve Months (“TTM”) recurring revenue covenant, requiring software-as-a-service, hardware-as-a-service and cloud subscription and maintenance support revenues to be at least $41,000 at June 30, 2017 and stepping up to $60,500 at June 30, 2022 and each quarter-end thereafter.

As of September 30, 2017, we were in compliance with all covenants and all payments remain current. We expect to be in compliance or be able to obtain compliance through debt repayments with available cash on hand or cash we expect to generate from the ordinary course of operations over the next twelve months. 

NOTE 7 – SHARE BASED COMPENSATION

Share based compensation for our stock option plans for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 were $138 and $60, respectively, and $363 and $166 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. We issued 51,000 shares of common stock related to exercises of stock options granted from our Stock Option Plan for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 15,000 shares for the three months ended September 30, 2016, respectively.

Asure has one active equity plan, the 2009 Equity Plan (the “2009 Plan”). The 2009 Plan provides for the issuance of non-qualified and incentive stock options to our employees and consultants. We generally grant stock options with exercise prices greater than or equal to the fair market value at the time of grant.  The options generally vest over three to four years and are exercisable for a period of five to ten years beginning with date of grant.   Our shareholders approved an amendment to the 2009 Plan in June 2017 to increase the number of shares reserved under the plan from 1,400,000 to 1,700,000. We have 904,000 options granted and outstanding and 176,000 available for grant pursuant to the 2009 Plan as of September 30, 2017.

NOTE 8 – OTHER COMPREHENSIVE LOSS

Comprehensive income (loss) represents a measure of all changes in equity that result from recognized transactions and other economic events other than those resulting from investments by and distributions to shareholders.

NOTE 9 – NET LOSS PER SHARE

We compute net loss per share based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period.  Diluted net loss per share reflects the maximum dilution that would have resulted from incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options.  We compute the number of common share equivalents, which includes stock options, using the treasury stock method. We have excluded stock options to acquire 904,000 shares for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, and 452,000 shares for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 from the computation of the dilutive stock options because the effect of including the stock options would have been anti-dilutive.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per common share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016:

Asure is a leading global provider of cloud-based software-as-a-service (“SaaS”) time and labor management and Agile Workplace management solutions that enable companies of all sizes and complexities to operate more efficiently and proactively manage costs associated with their most expensive assets: real estate, labor and technology.

We currently offer two main product lines, AsureSpace™ and AsureForce®.  Our AsureSpace™ Agile Workplace management solutions enable organizations to manage their office environments and optimize real estate utilization.  Our AsureForce® time and labor management solutions help organizations optimize labor and labor administration costs and activities. With our acquisitions of Mangrove Employer Services, Inc. and the assets of Mangrove COBRAsource Inc. in March 2016, we have entered into the human resource management, payroll processing and benefits administration services businesses, which we are integrating into our existing AsureForce® product line. In January 2017, we closed three strategic acquisitions: Personnel Management Systems, Inc., a provider of outsourced HR solutions; Corporate Payroll, Inc. (Payroll Division), a provider of payroll services; and Payroll Specialties NW, Inc., a provider of payroll services. In May 2017, we closed two strategic acquisitions: iSystems, LLC and Compass HRM. iSystems LLC, through its flagship product, Evolution HCM, offers payroll, tax management and HR software combined with comprehensive back-end service bureau tools to service providers across the United States. Tampa-based Compass HRM is a current reseller of our HCM offering (formerly Mangrove), which provides human resources solutions that enhance organizations, people, and profits through payroll and HR solutions. The acquisition of Compass HRM expands our reach in the Southeast, particularly Florida. 

For both product lines, support and professional services are other key elements of our software and services business. As an extension of our perpetual software product offerings, Asure offers our customers maintenance and support contracts that provide ready access to qualified support staff, software patches and upgrades to our software products.   We also provide installation of and training on our products, add-on software customization and other professional services on a global scale.

We target our sales and marketing efforts to a wide range of audiences, from small to medium-sized businesses and divisions of enterprise organizations throughout the United States, Europe and Asia/Pacific. We generate sales of our solutions through our direct sales teams and indirectly through our channel partners.  We are expanding our investment in our direct sales teams to continue to address our market opportunity.

Revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2017 was $15,527, an increase of $6,087, or 64.5%, from the $9,440 reported for the three months ended September 30, 2016. The largest increase was in cloud revenue, which increased $5,432, or 96.5% from the third quarter of 2016. Cloud revenue increased due to our continued emphasis on selling integrated cloud based solutions, as well as cloud revenue primarily from 2017 acquisitions. iSystems and PMSI recognized $4,139 of cloud revenue in the three months ended September 30, 2017, representing 68.0% of the increase in the three months ended September 30, 2017. Hardware revenue, professional services revenue and maintenance and support revenue also increased as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2016. This was offset by a small decrease in on premise software license revenue of $155, or 20.6%, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2016, which is consistent with our focus on cloud revenue.

Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 were $39,134, an increase of $13,308, or 51.5%, from the $25,826 reported for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.  This increase was primarily due to an increase in cloud and hardware revenue, of $12,843, or 86.3%, and $1,007, or 38.1%, respectively. This was offset by smaller decreases in maintenance and support revenue, on premise software license revenue and professional services revenue, with the largest decrease in on premise software license revenue of $303, or 22.4% from the nine months ended September 30, 2016, reflecting our continued emphasis on selling cloud based solutions.

Although our total customer base is widely spread across industries, our sales are concentrated in certain industry sectors, including corporate, education, healthcare, government, legal and non-profit.  We continue to target small and medium sized businesses and divisions of larger enterprises in these same industries as prospective customers.  Geographically, we sell our products worldwide, but sales are largely concentrated in the United States, Canada and Europe.  Additionally, we have a distribution partner in Australia.   As the overall workforce management solutions market continues to experience significant growth related to SaaS products, we will continue to focus on sales of Meeting Room Manager, On Demand, PeopleCube and ADI SaaS products.

In addition to continuing to develop our workforce and Agile Workplace management solutions and release 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. Through acquisitions in 2011 of ADI and Legiant, we expanded our cloud computing time and attendance software and management services business.  The 2012 acquisition of PeopleCube gave us a product line that includes software to assist customers in driving integrated facility management of offices, conference rooms, video conferencing, events and training, alternative workspaces and lobby use. The 2014 acquisitions of FotoPunch and Roomtag support our vision to deliver innovative cloud-based Agile Workplace technologies. Our March 2016 acquisitions from Mangrove enable us to enter into the human resource management, payroll processing and benefits administration services businesses, which we are integrating into our existing AsureForce® product line. With respect to the three acquisitions closed in January 2017, PSNW and CPI are top regional service bureaus that resell our HCM products (formerly Mangrove) and integrate seamlessly into our business, while PMSI is a leading HCM service company that expands our solution, service, and implementation capabilities. Our May 2017 acquisition of iSystems, a leading national provider of HCM solutions, provides us with additional cross-sell revenue opportunities and cost synergies and our May 2017 acquisition of Compass HRM, an existing reseller of our HCM offerings, provides us with a regional HR and payroll service bureau in the Southeast.

Gross Margin

Consolidated gross margin for the three months ended September 30, 2017 was $12,131, an increase of $4,717, or 63.6%, from the $7,414 reported for the three months ended September 30, 2016.  Gross margin as a percentage of revenues was 78.1% and 78.5% for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Consolidated gross margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $30,474, an increase of $10,580 or 53.2%, from the $19,894 reported for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.  Gross margins as a percentage of revenues were 77.9% and 77.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. We attribute the increase in gross margin to a shift in the mix of our revenue between our higher margin and lower margin product lines as well as the addition of the acquisitions in 2017.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2017 were $9,459, an increase of $4,413, or 87.5%, from the $5,046 reported for the three months ended September 30, 2016.  SG&A expenses as a percentage of revenues were 60.9% and 53.5% for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 were $25,286, an increase of $9,727, or 62.5%, from the $15,559 reported for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. SG&A expenses as a percentage of revenues were 64.6% and 60.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

SG&A expenses were higher in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same periods in 2016 primarily due to the acquisition and integration expenses related to the acquisition in the first and second quarters of 2017. We continue to evaluate any unnecessary expenses and any increases in SG&A designed to enhance future revenue growth.

22

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development (“R&D”) expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2017 were $883, an increase of $122, or 16.0%, from the $761 reported for the three months ended September 30, 2016. R&D expenses as a percentage of revenues were 5.7% and 8.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.  

Research and development (“R&D”) expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 were $2,488, an increase of $271, or 12.2%, from the $2,217 reported for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. R&D expenses as a percentage of revenues were 6.4% and 8.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.  

We continue to improve our products and technologies through organic improvements as well as through acquired intellectual property. We believe that our expanded investment in SaaS hosting, mobile and hardware technologies lays the ground work for broader market opportunities, and represents a key aspect of our competitive differentiation.  Native mobile applications, QR Code integration, 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 further improve our workforce management solutions.

Amortization of Intangible Assets

Amortization expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2017 were $1,341, an increase of $716, or 114.6%, from the $625 reported for the three months ended September 30, 2016. Amortization expenses as a percentage of revenues were 8.6% and 6.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Amortization expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 were $3,230, an increase of $1,602, or 98.4% compared to $1,628, reported for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. Amortization expenses as a percentage of revenues were 8.3% and 6.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The increases are due to the amortization recorded on the intangibles acquired in the acquisitions during 2017.

Other Income and Loss

Other loss for the three months ended September 30, 2017 was $1,644, an increase of $1,024, or 165.2%, from the $620 reported for the three months ended September 30, 2016. Other loss as a percentage of revenues was 10.6% and 6.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.  Other loss for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016 are composed primarily of interest expense on notes payable.

Other loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $3,279, an increase of $1,819, or 124.6%, from the $1,460 reported for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. Other expense as a percentage of revenues was 8.4% and 5.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Other loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 are composed primarily of interest expense on notes payable.

Interest expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 increased due to the additional debt amount incurred in May 2017 through our amended and restated credit agreement we entered into with Wells Fargo and Goldman Sachs and a higher interest rate incurred on the debt held with Goldman Sachs.

Income Taxes

Provision for income tax expense was $85 and $47 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, an increase of $38, or 80.9%, as a result of additional tax deductible goodwill acquired in 2017.

Provision for income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $368, an increase of $235, or 176.7%, from the $133 reported for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively, as a result of additional tax deductible goodwill acquired in 2017.

Net Income (Loss)

We incurred a net loss of $1,281, or $(0.10) per share, during the three months ended September 30, 2017, compared to net income of $315, or $0.05 per share, during the three months ended September 30, 2016. Net loss as a percentage of total revenues was 8.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to net income of 3.3% of total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2016.

23

We incurred a net loss of $4,177, or $(0.40) per share, during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to a net loss of $1,103, or $(0.17) per share reported for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.  Net loss as a percentage of total revenues was 10.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to net loss of 4.3% of total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

We intend to continue to implement our corporate strategy for growing the software and services business by modestly investing in areas that directly generate revenue and positive cash flows for the Company.  However, uncertainties and challenges remain and there can be no assurance that we can successfully grow our revenues or achieve profitability during the remainder of fiscal year 2017.

Working Capital.  We had working capital of $18,734 at September 30, 2017, an increase of $14,527 from working capital of $4,207 at December 31, 2016. Working capital at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 includes $12,065 and $9,252 of 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. We attribute the increase in our working capital to the issuance of stock in an underwritten public offering and proceeds from notes payable, offset by the acquisitions of PMSI, CPI and PSNW in the first quarter of 2017 and the acquisitions of iSystems and Compass in the second quarter of 2017.

Operating Activities.  Net cash used in operating activities was $2,083 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The $2,083 of cash used in operating activities during the first nine months of 2017 was primarily driven by a net loss of $4,177, an increase in accounts receivable of $4,450, an increase in prepaids and other assets of $471, and a decrease in accounts payable of $569. This was offset by non-cash adjustments to net loss of $5,027, an increase in deferred revenue of $1,963, and an increase in accrued expenses and other long-term obligations of $881. The $730 of cash used in operating activities during the first nine months of 2016 was primarily driven by a net loss of $1,103, an increase in accounts receivable of $1,678, a decrease in deferred revenue of $2,000, and a decrease in accounts payable of $189. This was offset by non-cash adjustments to net loss of $2,996, an increase in accrued expenses and other long-term obligations of $951, a decrease in inventory of $169, and a decrease in prepaid expenses and other assets of $124.

Investing Activities.  Net cash used in investing activities was $38,351 and $7,750 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016, respectively. Cash used in investing for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 is primarily due to the acquisitions of PMSI, CPI and PSNW in January 2017, and the acquisitions of iSystems and Compass in May 2017, partially offset by an increase in funds held for clients. The cash used in investing for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 is due primarily to the acquisition of Mangrove, offset by the increase in funds held for clients.

Financing Activities. Net cash provided by financing activities was $55,123 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. We recognized net proceeds from the issuance of common stock of $27,820 in an underwritten public offering in June 2017, as well as incurred $45,777 of indebtedness in connection with the 2017 acquisitions. This was offset by payments on notes payable of $8,098 and debt financing fees of $1,433.  In connection with the public offering, we issued 2,185,000 shares of common stock, including 285,000 shares of common stock pursuant to the exercise of the underwriters' over-allotment option, at the public offering price of $13.50 per share. Net cash provided by financing activities was $7,460 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. We incurred $16,823 of debt, primarily due to the cash used in the acquisition of Mangrove, and proceeds from the exercise of options of $561. This was offset by payments on notes payable of $5,173, the decrease in client fund obligations of $4,155 and debt financing fees of $438.

Sources of Liquidity.  As of September 30, 2017, Asure’s principal sources of liquidity consisted of approximately $27,464 of cash, future cash generated from operations and $5,000 under our Restated Credit Agreement. We believe that we have and/or will generate sufficient cash for our short- and long-term needs. Based on current internal projections, we believe that we have and/or will generate sufficient cash for our operational needs, including any required debt payments, for at least the next twelve months. We currently project that we can generate positive cash flows from our operating activities for at least the next twelve months.

Our management team is focused on growing our existing software operations and is also seeking additional strategic acquisitions for the near future. At present, we plan to fund any future acquisition with equity, existing cash and cash equivalents cash generated from future operations and/or cash or debt raised from outside sources.

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. Future business demands may lead to cash utilization at levels greater than recently experienced. We may need to raise additional capital in the future. However, we cannot assure that we will be able to raise additional capital on acceptable terms, or at all. Subject to the foregoing, management believes that we have sufficient capital and liquidity to fund and cultivate the growth of our current and future operations for at least the next twelve months from the issuance of these financial statements and to maintain compliance with the terms of our debt agreements and related covenants or to obtain compliance through debt repayments made with our available cash on hand or anticipated for receipt in the ordinary course of operations.

Capital Resources. At September 30, 2017, we had $69,125 outstanding under our Restated Credit Agreement with Wells Fargo. Available funds were $5,000 under the revolving credit facility at September 30, 2017. For further discussion regarding our Restated Credit Agreement and debt financing arrangements, see Note 6 to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

Restricted cash represents a certificate of deposit held in a cash collateral account as required by our operating lease for iSystems, LLC, which we acquired in May 2017. See Note 4- Acquisitions for further detail of the acquisition.

LIQUIDITY

As of September 30, 2017, Asure’s principal sources of liquidity consisted of approximately $27,464 of cash and cash equivalents, future cash generated from operations and $5,000 available for borrowing under our Wells Fargo revolver discussed in Note 6 – Notes Payable. We believe that we have and/or will generate sufficient cash for our short- and long-term needs, including meeting the requirements of our term loan, and the related debt covenant requirements. We continue to seek reductions in our expenses as a percentage of revenue on an annual basis and thus may utilize our cash balances in the short-term to reduce long-term costs. Based on current internal projections, we believe that we have and/or will generate sufficient cash for our operational needs, including any required debt payments, for at least the next twelve months from the issuance of the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Management is focused on growing our existing product offering, as well as our customer base, to increase our recurring revenues. We have made and will continue to explore additional strategic acquisitions. We expect to fund any future acquisitions with equity, available cash, future cash from operations, or debt from outside sources.

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. Future business demands may lead to cash utilization at levels greater than recently experienced. We may need to raise additional capital in the future. However, we cannot assure that we will be able to raise additional capital on acceptable terms, or at all. Subject to the foregoing, management believes that we have sufficient capital and liquidity to fund and cultivate the growth of our current and future operations for at least the next twelve months from the issuance of these financial statements and to maintain compliance with the terms of our debt agreements and related covenants or to obtain compliance through debt repayments made with the available cash on hand or anticipated for receipt in the ordinary course of operations.

RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

Recently Adopted Standards

In July 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2015-11, “Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory”. Inventory within the scope of this update is required to be measured at the lower of its cost or net realizable value, with net realizable value being the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. This ASU is effective prospectively for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. We adopted the provisions of ASU 2015-11 on January 1, 2017. This adoption did not have any impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting.”. The purpose of ASU 2016-09 is to simplify the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification of such activity on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that year. Prospective, retrospective, or modified retrospective application may be used dependent on the specific requirements of the amendments within ASU 2016-09. Effective January 1, 2017, the Company adopted ASU 2016-09 on a prospective basis. As such, prior periods have not been adjusted.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, “Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment (Topic 350)”, which eliminates Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. ASU 2017-04 is effective for annual and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed after January 1, 2017 and should be applied prospectively. We adopted the provisions of ASU 2017-04 on January 1, 2017. The adoption did not have any impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, “Business Combinations (Topic 806): Clarifying the Definition of a Business”, which provides guidance in evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses.  The definition of a business affects many areas of accounting, including acquisitions, disposals, goodwill, and consolidation.  The guidance is effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. We adopted this standard early as of January 1, 2017 as permitted under the standard.  The adoption did not have any impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Standards Yet To Be Adopted

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASU 2014-09”). ASU 2014-09 supersedes a majority of existing revenue recognition guidance under US GAAP, and requires companies to recognize revenue when it transfers goods or services to a customer in an amount that reflects the consideration to which a company expects to be entitled. Companies may need to apply more judgment and estimation techniques or methods while recognizing revenue, which could result in additional disclosures to the financial statements. In addition, in March 2016, April 2016, May 2016 and December 2016 the FASB issued ASU 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net) (“ASU 2016-08”), ASU 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing (“ASU 2016-10”), ASU 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients (“ASU 2016-12”) and ASU 2016-20, Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2016-20”), respectively, to amend certain guidance in ASU 2014-09. Topic 606 allows for either a retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. ASU 2014-09 was originally effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. In July 2015, the FASB approved a one-year deferral of ASU 2014-09 and all amendments to it, with a new effective date for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 with early adoption permitted as of the original effective date.

We plan to adopt ASU 2014-09, as well as other clarifications and technical guidance issued by the FASB related to this new revenue standard, on January 1, 2018. We have developed our plan for implementing the new standard, which includes, but is not limited to, identifying contract populations and “in scope” customer contracts, identifying performance obligations in those customer contracts, and evaluating any impact of variable consideration. The Company has evaluated the transition methods and will likely apply the modified retrospective transition method, which would result in an adjustment to retained earnings for the cumulative effect, if any, of applying the standard to contracts that are not completed at the date of initial application. Under this method, we would not restate the prior financial statements presented, therefore the new standard requires us to provide additional disclosures of the amount by which each financial statement line item is affected in the current reporting period during 2018, as compared to the guidance that was in effect before the change, and an explanation of the reasons for significant changes, if any.

The impact that the new revenue recognition standard will have on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures has not yet been fully assessed.  However, we do not expect the provisions of the new standard to have a material effect on the timing or amount of revenue we recognize. Our assessment also includes determining the impact the new standard may have on the revenue reporting processes, including disclosures, ensuring internal controls will operate effectively with the new standard and performing gap analyses on collected data and determining the relative accounting positions where applicable. Included in our assessment of the new standard, is the potential impact on sales commissions and the term over which they will amortize.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)”.  The core principle of the standard is that a lessee should recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from leases. A lessee should recognize in its statement of financial position a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. We will be required to adopt the new standard in the first quarter of 2019. We are currently evaluating the impact ASU 2016-02 will have on our consolidated financial statements.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments” which eliminates the diversity in practice related to eight cash flow classification issues.  This ASU is effective for on January 1, 2018 with early adoption permitted.  We believe its adoption will not significantly impact our consolidated financial statements.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash,” which requires the change in restricted cash or cash equivalents to be included with other changes in cash and cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. We believe its adoption will not significantly impact our consolidated financial statements.

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718) Scope of Modification Accounting,” which clarifies when to account for a change in the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award as a modification. ASU 2017-09 requires modification accounting only if the fair value, the vesting conditions, or the classification of the award (as equity or liability) changes as a result of the change in terms or conditions. ASU 2017-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. We do not expect the adoption of this accounting standard to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations, cash flows, or presentation thereof.

CONTINGENCIES

Although Asure has been, and in the future may be, the defendant or plaintiff in various actions arising in the normal course of business, as of September 30, 2017, we were not party to any pending legal proceedings.

NOTE 3 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. 

ASC 820 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which is based on the reliability of the inputs used in measuring fair values. These tiers include:

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 measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively:

			Fair Value Measure at September 30, 2017

Disclosure Text Block Supplement [Abstract]

Mergers, Acquisitions and Dispositions Disclosures [Text Block]

NOTE 4 – ACQUISITIONS

2017 Acquisitions

In January 2017, we closed three strategic acquisitions: Personnel Management Systems, Inc., a provider of outsourced HR solutions; Corporate Payroll, Inc. (Payroll Division), a provider of payroll services; and Payroll Specialties NW, Inc., a provider of payroll services. 

In May 2017, we closed two strategic acquisitions: iSystems, LLC and Compass HRM. iSystems LLC, through its flagship product, Evolution HCM, offers payroll, tax management and HR software combined with comprehensive back-end service bureau tools to service providers across the United States. Tampa-based Compass HRM is a current reseller of our HCM offering (formerly Mangrove), which provides human resources solutions that enhance organizations, people, and profits through payroll and HR solutions. The acquisition of Compass HRM expands our reach in the Southeast, particularly Florida. 

Stock Purchase Agreement

In January 2017, we closed on the acquisition of all of the outstanding shares of common stock (the “Shares”) of Personnel Management Systems, Inc., a Washington corporation (“PMSI”), pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”), among us, PMSI, the sellers identified therein, and the stockholders’ representative named therein. The aggregate consideration for the Shares consisted of (i) $3,875 in cash and (ii) a subordinated promissory note (the “PMSI Note”) in the principal amount of $1,125 subject to adjustment as provided in the Stock Purchase Agreement. We funded the cash payment with proceeds from our recent underwritten public offering in June 2017. The PMSI Note bears interest at an annual rate of 2.0% and matures on April 30, 2018. The entire unpaid principal and all accrued interest under the PMSI Note is payable at maturity. The Stock Purchase Agreement contains certain customary representations, warranties, indemnities and covenants.

Asset Purchase Agreement

In January 2017, we closed on the acquisition of substantially all the assets of Corporate Payroll, Inc., an Ohio corporation (“CPI”), relating to its payroll service bureau business, pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “CPI Asset Purchase Agreement”). The aggregate consideration for the assets consisted of (i) $1,500 in cash, (ii) a subordinated promissory note (the “CPI Note”) in the principal amount of $500 and (iii) 112,166 shares of our common stock valued at $1,000, subject to adjustment as provided in the CPI Asset Purchase Agreement. We funded the cash payment with proceeds from our recent underwritten public offering in June 2017. The CPI Note bears no interest and matures on April 30, 2018. The entire unpaid principal under the CPI Note is payable at maturity. The recipient of the shares of our common stock entered into a six month lock-up agreement with us. The CPI Asset Purchase Agreement contains certain

customary representations, warranties, indemnities and covenants.

Asset Purchase Agreement

In January 2017, we closed on the acquisition of substantially all the assets of Payroll Specialties NW, Inc., an Oregon corporation (“PSNW”), pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “PSNW Asset Purchase Agreement”). The aggregate consideration for the assets consisted of (i) $3,010 in cash and (ii) a subordinated promissory note (the “PSNW Note”) in the principal amount of $600, subject to adjustment as provided in the PSNW Asset Purchase Agreement. We funded the cash payment with proceeds from our recent underwritten public offering in June 2017. The PSNW Note bears interest at an annual rate of 2.0% and matures on April 30, 2018. The entire unpaid principal and all accrued interest under the PSNW Note is payable at maturity. The PSNW Asset Purchase Agreement contains certain customary representations, warranties, indemnities and covenants.

Equity Purchase Agreement

In May 2017, we entered into an equity purchase agreement (the “Equity Purchase Agreement”) with iSystems Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Seller”), and iSystems Intermediate Holdco, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“iSystems”), pursuant to which we acquired 100% of the outstanding equity interests of iSystems for an aggregate purchase price of $55,000, subject to adjustment as provided in the Equity Purchase Agreement. The aggregate purchase price consists of (i) $32,000 in cash, subject to adjustment, (ii) a secured subordinated promissory note (“iSystems Note”) in the principal amount of $5,000, subject to adjustment, and (iii) 1,526,332 shares of unregistered common stock valued at $18,000 based on a volume-weighted average of the closing prices of our common stock during a 90-day period. The iSystems Note bears interest at an annual rate of 3.5% and matures on May 25, 2019. The unpaid principal and all accrued interest under the promissory note is payable in two installments of $2.5 million on May 25, 2018 and May 25, 2019, subject to adjustment. The Equity Purchase Agreement contains certain customary representations, warranties, indemnities and covenants.

To finance the iSystems acquisition, we amended and restated our existing credit agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent (the “Restated Credit Agreement”) to add an additional term loan in the amount of approximately $40,000, of which we borrowed approximately $32,000 to complete the iSystems acquisition. See Note 6- Notes Payable for further detail.

In connection with the iSystems acquisition, we also entered into an investor rights agreement (the “Investor Rights Agreement”) with the Seller. Pursuant to the terms of the Investor Rights Agreement, until May 2018, the holders of the registrable securities received in connection with the acquisition have agreed not to directly or indirectly transfer, sell, make any short sale or otherwise dispose of any of our equity securities and not to vote any of our equity securities or solicit proxies other than in favor of each director that our board recommends for election, against any director that our board has not nominated for election, and in accordance with the recommendation of our board on any other matters, subject to certain exceptions. In addition, under the Investor Rights Agreement, holders of the registrable securities have demand registration rights which allow a registration statement to be filed on or about March 31, 2018 and piggyback registration rights which become effective in May 2018. In addition, under the terms of the Investor Rights Agreement, such holders have the right to nominate one director to our board of directors until the first date that the holders of the registrable securities no longer hold more than the lesser of (x) 5% of our outstanding common stock (as equitably adjusted for any stock splits, stock combinations, reorganizations, exchanges, merger, recapitalizations or similar transaction after the date hereof) and (y) 90% of the shares of our common stock held by such holders as of May 25, 2017. The director nominee appointed by the holders is Daniel Gill. Our board appointed him to serve as a director on June 6, 2017.  Mr. Gill is a founder and a co-managing partner of Silver Oak Services Partners, a private equity firm. In 2014 Silver Oak acquired iSystems, LLC (currently, a wholly owned subsidiary of iSystems) and Mr. Gill served on the board of directors of iSystems, LLC.

Stock Purchase Agreement

In May 2017, we entered into a stock purchase agreement (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”) with Compass HRM, Inc. (“Compass”) and the sellers and seller representative named therein, pursuant to which the sellers sold 100% of the outstanding shares of capital stock of Compass to us for an aggregate purchase price of $6,000, subject to adjustment as provided in the Stock Purchase Agreement. The aggregate purchase price consists of $4,500 in cash and a subordinated promissory note (“Compass Note”) in the principal amount of $1,500, subject to adjustment. The Compass Note bears interest at an annual rate of 2.0% and matures on May 25, 2022. The Compass Note is payable in five annual installments of $300 on the anniversary of the closing date, subject to adjustment. Compass is headquartered in Tampa, Florida, and provides cloud-based human resource management software, including payroll, benefits, time and attendance, and performance management.

To finance the Compass acquisition, we incurred approximately $4,500 of additional indebtedness pursuant to an additional term loan under our Restated Credit Agreement. See Note 6 –Notes Payable for further details.

Purchase Price Allocation

Following is the purchase price allocation for the 2017 acquisitions. We based the preliminary fair value estimate for the assets acquired and liabilities assumed for these acquisitions upon preliminary calculations and valuations.  Our estimates and assumptions for these acquisition are subject to change as we obtain additional information for our estimates during the respective measurement periods (up to one year from the acquisition date). The primary areas of those preliminary estimates that we have not yet finalized relate to certain tangible assets and liabilities acquired, and income and non-income based taxes.

We recorded the transactions using the acquisition method of accounting and recognized assets and liabilities assumed at their fair value as of the dates of acquisitions. The $24,628 of intangible assets subject to amortization consist of $21,505 allocated to Customer Relationships, $1,521 for Trade Names, $1,010 for Developed Technology, and $592 for Noncompete.  To value the Trade Names, we employed the relief from royalty method under the market approach. For the Noncompetes, we employed a form of the income approach which analyzes the Company’s profitability with these assets in place, in contrast to the Company’s profitability without them. For the Customer Relationships and Developed Technology, we employed a form of the excess earnings method, which is a form of the income approach. The discount rate used in valuing these assets ranged from 14.0% to 17.0%, which reflects the risk associated with the intangible assets related to the other assets and the overall business operations to us. We estimated the fair values of the Trade Names using the relief from royalty method based upon a 1.7% royalty rate.  

We believe significant synergies are expected to arisefrom these strategic acquisitions. 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 deductible for tax purposes.

We based the allocations on fair values at the date of acquisition:

Transaction costs for the 2017 acquisitions were $1,387 and were expensed as incurred and included in selling, general and administrative expenses.

2016 Acquisitions

Through the stock and asset purchases described below, we have entered into the human resource management, payroll processing and benefits administration services businesses, which we intend to integrate into our existing AsureForce® product line.

Stock Purchase Agreement

In March 2016, we acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock (the “Shares”) of Mangrove Employer Services, Inc. of Tampa, Florida (“Mangrove”). Pursuant to this stock purchase, we acquired the payroll division of Mangrove, which is engaged in the human resource management and payroll processing businesses. The aggregate consideration for the Shares consisted of (i) $11,348 in cash, a portion of which was used to pay certain obligations of Mangrove and (ii) a secured subordinated promissory note (the “Note”) in the principal amount of $6,000, subject to adjustment as provided in the Stock Purchase Agreement. We funded the cash payment with proceeds from our credit agreement with Wells Fargo. The Note was paid in full in the first quarter of 2017. The Stock Purchase Agreement contains certain customary representations, warranties, indemnities and covenants. Details regarding the financing of the acquisition are described under Note 6- Notes Payable. Transaction costs for this acquisition were $706 and we expensed them as incurred and included in selling, general and administrative expenses.

Asset Purchase Agreement

In March 2016, we also acquired substantially all the assets of Mangrove COBRAsource Inc., a benefits administration services business which then was a wholly owned subsidiary of Mangrove. The aggregate consideration for the assets was $1,036, which Mangrove COBRAsource applied to pay off certain loan balances. The Asset Purchase Agreement contains certain customary representations, warranties, indemnities and covenants.

Purchase Price Allocation

Following is the purchase price allocation for the acquisition of Mangrove.

We recorded the transaction using the acquisition method of accounting and recognized assets and liabilities assumed at their fair value as of the date of acquisition. The $8,700 of intangible assets subject to amortization consist of $1,200 allocated to Customer Relationships, $6,900 in Developed Technology and $600 for Trade Names.  We estimated the fair value of the Customer Relationships and Developed Technology using the excess earnings method, a form of the income approach. We discounted cash flow projections using a rate of 18.1%, which reflects the risk associated with the intangible asset related to the other assets and the overall business operations to us. We estimated the fair value of the Trade Names using the relief from royalty method based upon a 1.2% royalty rate for the payroll division and 0.5% for the benefits administration services business.  

We believe significant synergies are expected to arisefrom this strategic acquisition. 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. A portion of acquired goodwill will be deductible for tax purposes.

We based the allocations on fair values at the date of acquisition:

	Amount
Assets acquired
Accounts receivable	$	523
Funds held for clients		16,419
Fixed assets		258
Other assets		28

Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Text Block]

NOTE 5 – GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Asure accounted for its historical acquisitions in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations.  We recorded the amount exceeding the fair value of net assets acquired at the date of acquisition as goodwill. We recorded intangible assets apart from goodwill if the assets had contractual or other legal rights or if the assets could be separated and sold, transferred, licensed, rented or exchanged. Asure’s goodwill relates to the following acquisitions: ADI and Legiant in 2011, PeopleCube in 2012, FotoPunch and Roomtag in 2014, Mangrove in 2016, PMSI, CPI and PSNW in January 2017, and iSystems and Compass in May 2017. 

As part of the acquisition of iSystems in May 2017, we acquired software development costs. We continue to invest in software development. We are developing products which we intend to offer utilizing software as-a-service (“SaaS”).We follow the guidance of ASC 350-40, Intangibles- Goodwill and Other- Internal Use Software, for development costs related to these new products. Cost incurred in the planning stage are expensed as incurred while costs incurred in the application and infrastructure stage are capitalized, assuming such costs are deemed to be recoverable. Costs incurred in the operating stage are generally expensed as incurred except for significant upgrades and enhancements. Capitalized software costs are amortized over the software’s estimated useful life, which management has determined to be three years. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, we capitalized $702 and $804, respectively, of software development costs. No software development costs were recorded in 2016.

In accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other, we review and evaluate our long-lived assets, including intangible assets with finite lives, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that we may not recover their net book value. We test goodwill for impairment on an annual basis in the fourth fiscal quarter of each year, and between annual tests, if indicators of potential impairment exist, using a fair-value-based approach. There has been no impairment of goodwill for the periods presented. We amortize intangible assets not considered to have an indefinite useful life using the straight-line method over their estimated period of benefit, which generally ranges from one to nine years. Each reporting period, we evaluate the estimated remaining useful life of intangible assets and assess whether events or changes in circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining period of amortization or indicate that impairment exists. We have not identified any impairments of finite-lived intangible assets during any of the periods presented. 

The following table summarizes the changes in our goodwill:

Balance at December 31, 2016	$	26,259
Goodwill recognized upon acquisitions of PMSI, CPI, PSNW, iSystems and Compass		49,318
Adjustment to Goodwill associated with acquisition of Mangrove		272
Foreign exchange adjustment to goodwill		6
Balance at September 30, 2017	$	75,855

The gross carrying amount and accumulated amortization of our intangible assets as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 are as follows:

			September 30, 2017

		9.8	$	27,073	$	(15,025	)	$	12,048

We record amortization expense using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the intangible assets, as noted above.  Amortization expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 were $1,341 and $625, respectively, included in Operating Expenses. Amortization expenses recorded in Cost of Sales were $106 and $106 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Amortization expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 were $3,230 and $1,628 included in Operating Expenses, and $319 and $319, respectively, included in Cost of Sales.

We funded the cash payment with proceeds from the Credit Agreement with Wells Fargo. This note was paid in full in the first quarter of 2017.

Term Loan - Wells Fargo

 In March 2014, we entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and the lenders that are party thereto. The Credit Agreement contains customary events of default, including, among others, payment defaults, covenant defaults, judgment defaults, bankruptcy and insolvency events, cross defaults to certain indebtedness, incorrect representations or warranties, and change of control. In some cases, the defaults are subject to customary notice and grace period provisions. In March 2014 and in connection with the Credit Agreement, we and our wholly-owned active subsidiaries entered into a Guaranty and Security Agreement with Wells Fargo Bank. Under the Guaranty and Security Agreement, we and each of our wholly-owned active subsidiaries have guaranteed all obligations under the Credit Agreement and granted a security interest in substantially all of our and our subsidiaries’ assets.

The Credit Agreement provided for a term loan in the amount of $15,000 maturing in March 2019.

The Credit Agreement also provided for a revolving loan commitment in the aggregate amount of up to $3,000. The outstanding principal amount of the revolving loan is due and payable in March 2019. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, $0 was outstanding and $5,000 was available for borrowing under the revolver. Additionally, the Credit Agreement provided for a $10,000 uncommitted incremental term loan facility to support permitted acquisitions.

In March 2017, we amended our Credit Agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A to, among other things, obtain an additional term loan in the amount of $5,000. In the first quarter of 2017, we used the proceeds of the additional term loan to repay a portion of all amounts outstanding under the secured subordinated note we issued in connection with the Mangrove acquisition.

Amended and Restated Credit Agreement

In May 2017, we entered into an amended and restated credit agreement (the “Restated Credit Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Bank, N. A., as administrative agent, and the lenders that are parties thereto, amending and restating the terms of the Credit Agreement dated as of March 2014, as amended.

The Restated Credit Agreement provides for an increase in the aggregate principal amount of total commitments from approximately $32,714 to $75,000. This increase includes an additional term loan commitment of approximately $40,286 and an additional revolver commitment of $2,000.  The term loan consists of a $35,000 “First Out Loan Obligation” funded by Wells Fargo as administrative agent, and a $35,000 “Last Out Loan Obligation” funded by Wells Fargo’s syndicate partner, Goldman Sachs.

The Restated Credit Agreement amends the applicable margin rates for determining the interest rate payable on outstanding First Out and Last Out loan obligations as follows:

Leverage Ratio	First Out Base Rate Margin	First Out LIBOR Rate Margin	Last Out Base Rate Margin	Last Out LIBOR Rate Margin
< 3.25:1	2.00 Percentage Points	3.00 Percentage Points	7.00 Percentage Points	8.00 Percentage Points
> 3.25:1	2.50 Percentage Points	3.50 Percentage Points	7.50 Percentage Points	8.50 Percentage Points

The outstanding principal amount of the term loan is payable in equal installments of $875 beginning on September 30, 2017 and the last day of each fiscal quarter thereafter. The outstanding principal balance and all accrued and unpaid interest on the term loan is due on May 25, 2022.

The Restated Credit Agreement also:

·amends our leverage ratio covenant to increase the maximum ratio to 5.75:1 at June 30, 2017, stepping down to 3.25:1 at June 30, 2020 and each quarter-end thereafter;

·amends our fixed charge coverage ratio to be not less than 1.35:1 at June 30, 2017 and September 30, 2017, not less than 1.45:1 at December 31, 2017, and not less than 1.50:1 beginning with the quarter ending March 31, 2018 and each quarter-end thereafter; and

·adds a Trailing Twelve Months (“TTM”) recurring revenue covenant, requiring software-as-a-service, hardware-as-a-service and cloud subscription and maintenance support revenues to be at least $41,000 at June 30, 2017 and stepping up to $60,500 at June 30, 2022 and each quarter-end thereafter.

As of September 30, 2017, we were in compliance with all covenants and all payments remain current. We expect to be in compliance or be able to obtain compliance through debt repayments with available cash on hand or cash we expect to generate from the ordinary course of operations over the next twelve months.

NOTE 9 – NET LOSS PER SHARE

We compute net loss per share based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period.  Diluted net loss per share reflects the maximum dilution that would have resulted from incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options.  We compute the number of common share equivalents, which includes stock options, using the treasury stock method. We have excluded stock options to acquire 904,000 shares for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, and 452,000 shares for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 from the computation of the dilutive stock options because the effect of including the stock options would have been anti-dilutive.

LIQUIDITY

As of September 30, 2017, Asure’s principal sources of liquidity consisted of approximately $27,464 of cash and cash equivalents, future cash generated from operations and $5,000 available for borrowing under our Wells Fargo revolver discussed in Note 6 – Notes Payable. We believe that we have and/or will generate sufficient cash for our short- and long-term needs, including meeting the requirements of our term loan, and the related debt covenant requirements. We continue to seek reductions in our expenses as a percentage of revenue on an annual basis and thus may utilize our cash balances in the short-term to reduce long-term costs. Based on current internal projections, we believe that we have and/or will generate sufficient cash for our operational needs, including any required debt payments, for at least the next twelve months from the issuance of the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Management is focused on growing our existing product offering, as well as our customer base, to increase our recurring revenues. We have made and will continue to explore additional strategic acquisitions. We expect to fund any future acquisitions with equity, available cash, future cash from operations, or debt from outside sources.

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. Future business demands may lead to cash utilization at levels greater than recently experienced. We may need to raise additional capital in the future. However, we cannot assure that we will be able to raise additional capital on acceptable terms, or at all. Subject to the foregoing, management believes that we have sufficient capital and liquidity to fund and cultivate the growth of our current and future operations for at least the next twelve months from the issuance of these financial statements and to maintain compliance with the terms of our debt agreements and related covenants or to obtain compliance through debt repayments made with the available cash on hand or anticipated for receipt in the ordinary course of operations.

New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block]

RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

Recently Adopted Standards

In July 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2015-11, “Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory”. Inventory within the scope of this update is required to be measured at the lower of its cost or net realizable value, with net realizable value being the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. This ASU is effective prospectively for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. We adopted the provisions of ASU 2015-11 on January 1, 2017. This adoption did not have any impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting.”. The purpose of ASU 2016-09 is to simplify the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification of such activity on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that year. Prospective, retrospective, or modified retrospective application may be used dependent on the specific requirements of the amendments within ASU 2016-09. Effective January 1, 2017, the Company adopted ASU 2016-09 on a prospective basis. As such, prior periods have not been adjusted.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, “Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment (Topic 350)”, which eliminates Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. ASU 2017-04 is effective for annual and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed after January 1, 2017 and should be applied prospectively. We adopted the provisions of ASU 2017-04 on January 1, 2017. The adoption did not have any impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, “Business Combinations (Topic 806): Clarifying the Definition of a Business”, which provides guidance in evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses.  The definition of a business affects many areas of accounting, including acquisitions, disposals, goodwill, and consolidation.  The guidance is effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. We adopted this standard early as of January 1, 2017 as permitted under the standard.  The adoption did not have any impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Standards Yet To Be Adopted

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASU 2014-09”). ASU 2014-09 supersedes a majority of existing revenue recognition guidance under US GAAP, and requires companies to recognize revenue when it transfers goods or services to a customer in an amount that reflects the consideration to which a company expects to be entitled. Companies may need to apply more judgment and estimation techniques or methods while recognizing revenue, which could result in additional disclosures to the financial statements. In addition, in March 2016, April 2016, May 2016 and December 2016 the FASB issued ASU 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net) (“ASU 2016-08”), ASU 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing (“ASU 2016-10”), ASU 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients (“ASU 2016-12”) and ASU 2016-20, Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2016-20”), respectively, to amend certain guidance in ASU 2014-09. Topic 606 allows for either a retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. ASU 2014-09 was originally effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. In July 2015, the FASB approved a one-year deferral of ASU 2014-09 and all amendments to it, with a new effective date for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 with early adoption permitted as of the original effective date.

We plan to adopt ASU 2014-09, as well as other clarifications and technical guidance issued by the FASB related to this new revenue standard, on January 1, 2018. We have developed our plan for implementing the new standard, which includes, but is not limited to, identifying contract populations and “in scope” customer contracts, identifying performance obligations in those customer contracts, and evaluating any impact of variable consideration. The Company has evaluated the transition methods and will likely apply the modified retrospective transition method, which would result in an adjustment to retained earnings for the cumulative effect, if any, of applying the standard to contracts that are not completed at the date of initial application. Under this method, we would not restate the prior financial statements presented, therefore the new standard requires us to provide additional disclosures of the amount by which each financial statement line item is affected in the current reporting period during 2018, as compared to the guidance that was in effect before the change, and an explanation of the reasons for significant changes, if any.

The impact that the new revenue recognition standard will have on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures has not yet been fully assessed.  However, we do not expect the provisions of the new standard to have a material effect on the timing or amount of revenue we recognize. Our assessment also includes determining the impact the new standard may have on the revenue reporting processes, including disclosures, ensuring internal controls will operate effectively with the new standard and performing gap analyses on collected data and determining the relative accounting positions where applicable. Included in our assessment of the new standard, is the potential impact on sales commissions and the term over which they will amortize.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)”.  The core principle of the standard is that a lessee should recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from leases. A lessee should recognize in its statement of financial position a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. We will be required to adopt the new standard in the first quarter of 2019. We are currently evaluating the impact ASU 2016-02 will have on our consolidated financial statements.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments” which eliminates the diversity in practice related to eight cash flow classification issues.  This ASU is effective for on January 1, 2018 with early adoption permitted.  We believe its adoption will not significantly impact our consolidated financial statements.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash,” which requires the change in restricted cash or cash equivalents to be included with other changes in cash and cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. We believe its adoption will not significantly impact our consolidated financial statements.

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718) Scope of Modification Accounting,” which clarifies when to account for a change in the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award as a modification. ASU 2017-09 requires modification accounting only if the fair value, the vesting conditions, or the classification of the award (as equity or liability) changes as a result of the change in terms or conditions. ASU 2017-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. We do not expect the adoption of this accounting standard to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations, cash flows, or presentation thereof.

		In connection with the iSystems acquisition, we also entered into an investor rights agreement (the “Investor Rights Agreement”) with the Seller. Pursuant to the terms of the Investor Rights Agreement, until May 2018, the holders of the registrable securities received in connection with the acquisition have agreed not to directly or indirectly transfer, sell, make any short sale or otherwise dispose of any of our equity securities and not to vote any of our equity securities or solicit proxies other than in favor of each director that our board recommends for election, against any director that our board has not nominated for election, and in accordance with the recommendation of our board on any other matters, subject to certain exceptions. In addition, under the Investor Rights Agreement, holders of the registrable securities have demand registration rights which allow a registration statement to be filed on or about March 31, 2018 and piggyback registration rights which become effective in May 2018.
