NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
(Amounts in thousands, except per share data unless otherwise noted)

NOTE 1 - THE COMPANY AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

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

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

We develop, market, sell and support our offerings nationwide through our principal office in Austin, Texas and from our other office locations in Alabama, California, Florida, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, South Dakota, Tennessee, and Vermont.

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

In the opinion of management, these interim financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal, recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position as of September 30, 2024, comprehensive loss and changes in stockholders’ equity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023. Certain amounts in the prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the presentation of the current period financial statements. These reclassifications had no effect on the consolidated financial position or consolidated results of operations of the Company.

These unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with our audited Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto filed with the SEC in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 (our “2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K”). The Company’s results for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for a full fiscal year.

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

USE OF ESTIMATES

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

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

We consider all highly liquid investments with maturities of 90 days or less to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents include investments in an institutional money market fund, which invests in U.S. Treasury bills, notes and bonds, and/or repurchase agreements, backed by such obligations. Carrying value approximates fair value.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (Topic 740), which requires companies to disaggregate information about their effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid. The standard applies to all entities subject to income taxes. The standard becomes effective for public entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. We are currently evaluating this standard and the potential effects of these changes to our consolidated financial statements and will adopt this new standard in the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2025.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which improves reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses for interim and annual periods. In addition, the standard requires public entities that have a single reportable segment to provide all the disclosures required by the standard and all existing segment disclosures in Topic 280. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. We are currently evaluating this standard and the potential effects of these changes to our consolidated financial statements and will adopt this new standard in the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024.

ACCUMULATED OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME & LOSS

As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, accumulated other comprehensive income & loss consisted of net unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities.

NOTE 3 - BUSINESS COMBINATIONS AND ASSET ACQUISITIONS

2024

Business Combinations

Effective July 11, 2024, we purchased substantially all the assets of an applicant tracking technology company based out of South Dakota for an innovative hiring solution designed to streamline the recruitment process for small and mid-sized businesses. This strategic acquisition reinforces Asure’s commitment to delivering comprehensive, user-friendly tools that simplify people management. The aggregate purchase price paid for the business was $15,162, consisting of $7,900 paid in cash on hand, $3,000 in the form of a promissory note ($1,716 net of discount), and 525 shares of Asure common stock, which had a fair value of $4,262 on the day of acquisition. As of September 30, 2024, the promissory note had an outstanding principal balance of $3,000 and matures on July 1, 2029.

The purchase consideration was allocated among the acquired assets, which consist of a customer relationships intangible asset with fair value of $2,700, and a developed technology intangible asset with a fair value of $3,200. Additionally, we assumed $237 of deferred revenue and $498 of other accrued liabilities as part of the transaction. The intangible assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis over eight and five years, respectively.

The remaining $8,713 of excess purchase consideration was allocated to goodwill, which is expected to be fully deductible for tax purposes. This represents the knowledge and experience of the employees retained as part of the transaction as well as the synergies and economies of scale expected from expanding the Midwest operating region to a national scale.

The operations included in the Company’s financial statements for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2024, and pro forma revenue and earnings amounts on a combined basis as if this acquisition had been completed on January 1, 2023, are immaterial to the consolidated financial statements of the Company and have been excluded.

Asset Acquisitions

Effective April 30, 2024, we acquired certain assets of an Ohio based reseller partner, which were used to provide payroll processing services. The aggregate purchase price paid for the acquisition of these assets was $3,000, consisting of $2,300 paid in cash on hand, and $700 in the form of a promissory note, plus 50 shares of Asure common stock. The acquired customer relationships are recorded as an intangible asset and are being amortized on a straight-line basis over eight years. As of September 30, 2024, the promissory note had an outstanding principal balance of $700 and matures on October 30, 2025.

Effective February 22, 2024, we acquired certain assets of a payroll processing and benefits brokerage servicer based in New Jersey. The aggregate purchase price paid for the acquisition of these assets was $6,000, consisting of $500 paid in cash on hand, 450 shares of Asure common stock, having an agreed value of $4,500, and the remaining $1,000 in the form of a promissory note. The acquired customer relationships are recorded as an intangible asset and are being amortized on a straight-line basis over eight years. As of September 30, 2024, the promissory note had an outstanding principal balance of $963 and matures on February 22, 2026.

2023

Asset Acquisitions

Effective October 1, 2023, we acquired certain assets of an Alabama based reseller partner, which were used to provide payroll processing services. The aggregate purchase price paid for these assets was $8,391, consisting of $6,891 in cash, of which $6,545 was paid at closing, and the delivery of a promissory note in the amount of $1,500. The acquired customer relationships are recorded as an intangible asset and are being amortized on a straight-line basis over eight years. As of September 30, 2024, the promissory note had an outstanding principal balance of $1,500 and matures on October 1, 2025.

NOTE 4 - INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

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

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

The following table presents the fair value hierarchy for our financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis for the periods presented below (in thousands):

(1)Unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities are included as a component of comprehensive loss. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were 82 and 54 securities, respectively, in an unrealized gain position and there were 80 and 113 securities in an unrealized loss position, respectively. As of September 30, 2024, these unrealized losses were less than $35 individually and $576 in the aggregate. As of December 31, 2023, these unrealized losses were less than $61 individually and $1,363 in the aggregate. We invest in high quality securities with roughly 70% of our portfolio made up of A ratings and above with unrealized losses primarily attributable to macroeconomic factors rather than credit related. These securities have not been in a continuous unrealized gain or loss position for more than 12 months. We do not intend to sell these investments and we do not expect to sell these investments before recovery of their amortized cost basis, which may be at maturity. We review our investments to identify and evaluate investments that indicate possible credit losses. Factors considered in determining whether a loss is a credit loss include the length of time and extent to which fair value has been less than the cost basis, the credit rating of the investment, and our intent and ability to hold the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in market value.

(2)At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, none of these securities were classified as cash and cash equivalents on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

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

NOTE 5 - GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Goodwill$86,011 $8,713 $94,724 

We believe significant synergies are expected to arise from our strategic acquisitions and their assembled work forces. This factor contributed to a purchase price that was in excess of the fair value of the net assets acquired and, as a result, we recorded goodwill for each acquisition. A portion of acquired goodwill will be amortizable for tax purposes. As of September 30, 2024, there has been no impairment of goodwill based on the qualitative assessments performed by the Company.

Amortization expenses recorded in operating expenses were $11,790 and $9,929 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Amortization expenses recorded in cost of sales were $150 and $368 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. There was no impairment of intangibles during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 based on the qualitative assessment performed by the Company. However, if market, political and other conditions over which we have no control continue to affect the capital markets and our stock price declines, we may experience an impairment of our intangibles in future quarters.

As of September 30, 2024, the promissory note had an outstanding principal balance of $700 and matures on October 30, 2025.

In February 2024, we acquired certain assets of a payroll processing and benefits brokerage servicer based in New Jersey.

As of September 30, 2024, the promissory note had an outstanding principal balance of $3,780.

See Note 3 — Business Combinations and Asset Acquisitions for further discussion regarding the issuance of notes payable related to acquisitions.

Senior Credit Facility with Structural Capital Investments III, LP

On September 12, 2023, we terminated the Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”), among the Company, Structural Capital Investments III, LP (“Structural” and together with the other lenders that were parties thereto, the “Lenders”), and Ocean II PLO LLC, as administrative and collateral agent for the Lender and repaid the outstanding balance on the secured promissory note issued under the Loan Agreement (the “Note”). In connection with the termination, the Company paid the Agent for the benefit of the Lenders an aggregate amount of $30,927 (the “Payoff Amount”) in full payment of our outstanding obligations under the Loan Agreement. The Payoff Amount represented $30,617 of outstanding principal and interest on the unpaid principal balance, a 1.0% prepayment fee in the amount of $306 and $5 for the accrued non-utilization fee and lender expenses associated with the extinguishment. As of September 30, 2024, there are no further amounts due or owing under the Facility.

On August 7, 2023, we entered into an amendment to the Loan Agreement, whereby the Final Payment Fee (as defined in the Loan Agreement) was settled for $1,677 (the “Settled Amount”), which was paid on August 7, 2023. The Final Payment Fee was originally equal to 1.0% of the increase in our market capitalization since September 10, 2021, and was due upon payment in full of the obligations under the Loan Agreement. We also paid the Lenders a breakup fee equal to $250.

NOTE 7 CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS AND REVENUE CONCENTRATION

Receivables

Receivables from contracts with customers, net of allowance for credit losses of $6,150, were $17,233 at September 30, 2024. Receivables from contracts with customers, net of allowance for credit losses of $4,787, were $14,202 at December 31, 2023. We had a provision for expected losses of $111, write-offs charged against the allowance for credit losses of $16, and recoveries on previously written off receivables of $1,267 during the nine months ended September 30, 2024. No customer represented more than 10% of our net accounts receivable balance as of September 30, 2024 or December 31, 2023.

Deferred Commissions

Deferred commission costs from contracts with customers were $11,958 and $10,302 at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The amount of amortization recognized for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $689 and $1,548, respectively, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $1,029 and $2,176, respectively.

Deferred Revenue

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, revenue of $286 and $6,409, respectively, and during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, revenue of $924 and $6,650, respectively, was recognized from the deferred revenue balance at the beginning of each period.

Transaction Price Allocated to the Remaining Performance Obligations

As of September 30, 2024, approximately $67,318 of revenue is expected to be recognized from remaining performance obligations. We expect to recognize revenue on approximately 34% of these remaining performance obligations over the next 12 months, with the balance recognized thereafter. These amounts exclude remaining performance obligations related to contracts for professional services for tax and payroll offerings whose remaining contractual term is less than one year as of September 30, 2024.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, various multi-year license arrangement was finalized primarily driving the increase in our deferred revenue balances as of September 30, 2024 when compared to December 31, 2023. The arrangement is also driving the decrease in our transaction price estimated to be recognized during the next 12 months from 87% as of December 31, 2023 to 34% as of September 30, 2024.

Revenue Concentration

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, there were no customers that individually represented 10% or more of consolidated revenue.

NOTE 8 - LEASES

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

We record base rent expense under the straight-line method over the term of the lease. In the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss, rent expense is included in operating expenses under general and administrative expenses. The components of the rent expense are as follows for the periods presented below (in thousands):
Three Months Ended September 30,Nine Months Ended September 30,

Sublease income (5)(4)(13)
Net rent expense$501 $476 $1,450 $1,883

For purposes of calculating the operating lease assets and lease liabilities, extension options are not included in the lease term unless it is reasonably certain we will exercise the option, or the lessor has the sole ability to exercise the option. The weighted average discount rate of our operating leases is 10% as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The weighted average remaining lease term is four years and five years as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

NOTE 9 - SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

We have one active equity plan, the 2018 Incentive Award Plan (the “2018 Plan”). The 2018 Plan, approved by our stockholders, replaced our 2009 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended (the “2009 Plan”); however, the terms and conditions of the 2009 Plan will continue to govern any outstanding awards granted thereunder.

The number of shares reserved for issuance under the 2018 Plan is 4,748 shares. We have an aggregate of 2,525 options, restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and performance stock units (“PSUs”) granted and outstanding pursuant to the 2018 Plan as of September 30, 2024. As of September 30, 2024, the number of shares available for future grant under the 2018 Plan is 972.

Share based compensation for our stock option plans for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $1,591 and $4,981, respectively, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $1,251 and $4,170, respectively. Issuance of common stock related to the exercise of stock options, the vesting of restricted stock units, and the vesting of restricted stock units converted from performance stock units are as follows for the period presented below (in thousands):

Effective January 1, 2024, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Compensation Committee”) approved the grant of PSUs pursuant to a PSU Award Grant Notice and PSU Award Agreement (the “2024 PSU Award Agreement”) under the 2018 Plan to our executive officers payable in the form of RSUs. The number of RSUs into which the PSUs convert for each executive officer is a sliding scale between 0% to 200% of the target amount based on the Company’s achievement of certain performance metrics tied to the Company’s recurring revenue and gross profit for 2024.

Effective January 1, 2023, the Compensation Committee approved the grant of PSUs pursuant to a PSU Award Grant Notice and PSU Award Agreement (the “2023 PSU Award Agreement”) under the 2018 Plan to our executive officers payable in the form of RSUs. The number of RSUs into which the PSUs converted for each executive officer was a sliding scale between 0% to 200% of the target amount based on the Company’s achievement of certain performance metrics tied to the Company’s recurring revenue and gross profit for 2023. On February 26, 2024, the PSUs converted to RSUs at 200% of target based on the achievement of set performance metrics, and we paid out a total of 325 RSUs to our executive officers.

NOTE 10 - NET LOSS PER SHARE

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

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net loss per common share for the periods presented below (in thousands, except per share amounts):

NOTE 11 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On October 31, 2024, the Company entered into a Sales Agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) with Roth Capital Partners, LLC ("Roth”). The Sales Agreement provides for the offer and sale of up to $25,000 of the Company’s newly issued Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), from time to time through an “at the market offering” program. The Company will specify the parameters for the sale of the shares of Common Stock, including the number of shares to be issued, the time period during which sales are requested to be made, any limitation on the number of shares that may be sold in any one trading day and any minimum price below which sales may not be made. The Company may offer and sell up to $25,000 of shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Sales Agreement. Actual sales of Common Stock under the Sales Agreement will depend on a variety of factors including, among other things, market conditions, the trading price of the Common Stock and potential funding needs. As a result, the full amount of capital may not be fully realized. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from these at-market offerings, if any, for general corporate purposes. The Company's general corporate purposes include, but are not limited to, repayment or refinancing of debt, capital expenditures, funding possible acquisitions, working capital and satisfaction of other obligations.

Our Business

We are a provider of cloud-based Human Capital Management (“HCM”) software solutions delivered as Software-as-a-Service (“SaaS”) for small, medium-sized and enterprise-level businesses. We offer human resources (“HR”) tools necessary to build a thriving workforce, provide the resources to stay compliant with dynamic federal, state, and local tax jurisdictions and their respective labor laws, freeing cash flows so these businesses can spend their financial capital on growing their business rather than administrative overhead that can impede growth. Our solutions also provide new ways for employers to connect with their employees in order to enhance their relationships with their talent. Asure’s HCM suite (“Asure HCM”) includes Payroll & Tax solutions, Recruiting, HR compliance and services, Time & Attendance software and data integrations that enable employers and their employees to enhance efficiencies and take advantage of value-added solutions, which we refer to as AsureMarketplace™. AsureMarketplace™ automates interactions between our HCM systems with third-party providers to enhance efficiency, improve accuracy and to extend the range of services offered to employers and their employees. In addition to our current Asure HCM suite, we are in the process of launching our AsurePay™ product which is a new innovative online banking solution which will offer debit cards, paycheck advances, and fee-free ATM withdrawal. Our approach to HR compliance services leverages technology and on-demand content to enhance scalability and efficiency while prioritizing client interactions. We offer our services directly and indirectly through our network of reseller partners.

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

We strive to be the most trusted HCM resource to small, medium-sized (“SMBs”) and enterprise-level businesses. We target SMBs through less densely populated U.S. metropolitan cities where fewer of our competitors have a presence and have begun expansion of certain product lines to enterprise-level businesses. Our solutions solve three primary challenges that prevent businesses from growing: HR complexity, allocation of human and financial capital, and the ability to build great teams. We sell our solutions through both direct and partner channels. We supplement our direct sales efforts with partner programs that afford us access to opportunities in various geographic and industry niches. We have two types of partners: reseller partners that white label our products while providing value-added services to their clients (or indirect clients) and referral partners that provide us with business leads but do no resell our solutions. We have and will continue to invest in research and development to expand our solutions. Our solutions reduce the administrative burden on employers and increase employee productivity while managing the employment lifecycle.

Acquisitions

As part of our acquisition strategy, we purchase various assets or businesses that are commonly immaterial to our financial statements as a whole (and individually) and not considered significant under applicable SEC rules. None of the acquisitions listed below are material, either individually or in the aggregate, but reflect the larger transactions we closed during the periods presented.

On July 11, 2024, we acquired certain assets of an applicant tracking technology company that provided hiring solutions to small and medium-sized businesses, in a business combination transaction. The aggregate purchase price that we paid for these assets was $15,162, consisting of $7,900 paid in cash on hand, 525 shares of Asure common stock, having a fair value of $4,262, and the remaining $3,000 in the form of a promissory note. As of September 30, 2024, the promissory note had an outstanding principal balance of $3,000 and matures July 1, 2029.

On April 30, 2024, we acquired certain assets of a reseller partner, which were used to provide payroll processing services. The partner is located in Ohio.

Revenue

Revenue is comprised of recurring revenue, professional services, hardware, and other revenue. We expect our revenue to increase as we introduce new applications, expand our client base and renew and expand relationships with existing clients. As a percentage of total revenue, we expect our mix of recurring revenue, and professional services, hardware and other revenue to remain relatively constant. While revenue mix varies by product, recurring revenue represented over 97% of total revenue in nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to 81% in nine months ended September 30, 2023.

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

Total$89,000 $92,818 $(3,818)(4)%

Recurring Revenue

Recurring revenue includes fees for our payroll, payroll tax, tax management, time and labor management, recruiting, HR compliance services, AsureMarketplace™ and other Asure solutions as well as fees charged for form filings and delivery of client payroll checks and reports. These revenues are derived from fixed amounts charged per billing period and sometimes an additional fee per employee or transaction processed. Our billing period varies by client based on when each client pays its employees, which may be weekly, bi-weekly, semi-monthly or monthly. We also generate recurring revenue from our reseller partners that license our solutions. Because recurring revenue is based, in part, on fees for use of our applications and the delivery of checks and reports that are levied on a per-employee basis, our recurring revenue increases as our clients hire more employees. Recurring revenue is recognized in the period services are rendered.

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

This revenue line also includes interest earned on funds held for clients. Interest earned is generated from funds we collect from clients in advance of either the applicable due date for payroll tax submissions or the applicable disbursement date for employee payment services. These collections from clients are typically disbursed from one to 30 days after receipt, with some funds being held for up to 120 days. We typically invest funds held for clients in money market funds, demand deposit accounts, commercial paper, fixed income securities and certificates of deposit until they are paid to the applicable tax or regulatory agencies or to client employees. The amount of interest we earn from the investment of client funds is also impacted by changes in interest rates.

Recurring revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was $28,626, an increase of $4,793, or 20%, from $23,833 for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The increase is primarily due to an increase in payroll and tax management revenue driven by clients obtained through acquisitions, as well as an increase in revenue from AsureMarketplace™, and an increase in interest earned on funds held for clients.

21

Recurring revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $85,950, an increase of $11,201, or 15%, from $74,749 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Recurring revenue increase is primarily due to an increase in payroll and tax management revenue driven by clients obtained through acquisitions, an increase in HR compliance revenue, an increase in revenue from AsureMarketplace™, and an increase in interest earned on funds held for clients.

Professional Services, Hardware and Other Revenue

Professional services, hardware and other revenue represents implementation fees, one-time consulting projects, on-premise maintenance, hardware devices to enhance our software products as well as revenue generated for provisioning and filing for ERTC.

Professional services, hardware and other revenue decreased $4,823, or 88%, for the three months ended September 30, 2024 from the similar period in 2023, primarily due to a decrease in non-recurring ERTC revenue.

Professional services, hardware, and other revenue decreased $15,019, or 83%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 from the similar period in 2023, primarily due to a decrease in non-recurring ERTC revenue.

ERTC revenue was originally expected to expire during 2024 and 2025; however, it is possible that the government could make changes to or revoke the program prior to its scheduled expiration. For example, in January 2024, the United States House of Representatives passed the Tax Relief for American Families Act of 2024, which set an expiration date of January 31, 2024, on additional claims for ERTC that can potentially apply retroactively. If approved by other branches of government, this will have an effect on our ERTC revenue and cash collections. Additionally, in September 2023, the IRS announced a moratorium through the end of 2023 on processing new ERTC claims due to concerns over questionable or fraudulent claims. In June 2024, the IRS posted a news release stating that the agency continues its review of previously filed claims and that it will consult with Congress before making a final decision on the future of the moratorium. The moratorium may potentially delay the processing and collections of previously filed ERTC claims. Refer to “Risk Factors” previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on February 26, 2024, for more information about risks related to our ERTC business.

Although our total customer base is widely spread across industries, our sales are concentrated in SMBs but are expanding to enterprise-level businesses for certain product lines. While we continue to target SMBs across industries, our search for prospective customers includes both SMBs and enterprise-level customers. Geographically, we sell our products primarily in the United States.

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

Gross Profit and Gross Margin

Consolidated gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2024, was $19,704, a decrease of $1,576, or 7%, from $21,280 for the three months ended September 30, 2023. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue was 67% for the three months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to 73% for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease is primarily attributable to the decrease in ERTC related professional services revenue during the period.

Consolidated gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, was $61,179, a decrease of $6,519, or 10%, from $67,698 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue was 69% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to 73% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease is primarily attributable to the decrease in ERTC related professional services revenue during the period.

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

Sales and Marketing Expenses

Sales and marketing expenses primarily consist of salaries and related expenses for sales and marketing staff, including stock-based expenses, commissions, as well as marketing programs, which include events, corporate communications and product marketing activities.
22


Sales and marketing expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2024 were $6,680, an increase of $83, or 1%, from $6,597 for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The increase is primarily due to personnel expenses driven by merit increases and higher employee insurance premiums. Sales and marketing expenses as a percentage of revenue increased to 23% for the three months ended September 30, 2024 from 22% for the same period in 2023.

Sales and marketing expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 were $21,371, a decrease of $941, or 4%, from $22,312 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease is primarily due to a decrease in referral fees associated with non-recurring ERTC revenue arrangements. Sales and marketing expenses as a percentage of revenue remained flat at 24% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023.

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

General and Administrative Expenses

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

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2024 were $10,378, an increase of $1,084, or 12%, from $9,294 for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The increase is primarily attributable to an increase in personnel expenses driven by merit increases and higher employee insurance premiums, partially offset by a decrease in bonus expense in 2024 based on the performance towards the current year bonus plan. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue increased to 35% for the three months ended September 30, 2024 from 32% for the same period in 2023.

General and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 were $30,559, an increase of $973, or 3%, from $29,586 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The increase is primarily attributable to an increase in personnel expenses driven by merit increases and higher employee insurance premiums. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in bonus expense in 2024 based on the performance towards the current year bonus plan, and a decrease in facilities rent expense due to some office leases terminating in 2023 and early 2024. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue increased to 34% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 from 32% for the same period in 2023.

Research and Development Expenses

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

R&D expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2024 were $1,973, an increase of $170, or 9%, from $1,803 for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The increase is primarily attributable to an increase in personnel expenses due to increased headcount from the prior period, partially offset by an increase in capitalized software expenses driven by continued investments in the development of our products. R&D expenses as a percentage of revenue increased to 7% for the three months ended September 30, 2024 from 6% for the same period in 2023.

R&D expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 were $5,704, an increase of $597, or 12%, from $5,107 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The increase is primarily attributable to an increase in personnel expenses due to increased headcount from the prior period, partially offset by an increase in capitalized software expenses driven by continued investments in the development of our products. R&D expenses as a percentage of revenue remained flat at 6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 from 6% for the same period in 2023.

23

Amortization of Intangible Assets

Amortization expense for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was $4,295, an increase of $962, or 29%, from $3,333 for the three months ended September 30, 2023. Amortization expense as a percentage of revenue increased to 15% for the three months ended September 30, 2024 from 11% for the same period in 2023. The increase in amortization expense in the three months ended September 30, 2024 is primarily due to new asset acquisitions and business combinations in the fourth quarter of 2023 and throughout 2024.

Amortization expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $11,790, an increase of $1,861, or 19%, from $9,929 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Amortization expense as a percentage of revenue increased to 13% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 from 11% for the same period in 2023. The increase in amortization expense in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 is primarily due to new asset acquisitions and business combinations in the fourth quarter of 2023 and throughout 2024.

Interest Income and Expense

Interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was $165 compared to interest income of $437 for the three months ended September 30, 2023. Interest income as a percentage of revenue was 1% for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was $274 compared to interest expense of $1,219 for the three months ended September 30, 2023. Interest expense as a percentage of revenue was 1% for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to 4% for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease in Interest expense in the three months ended September 30, 2024 is primarily due to our payoff of the outstanding debt under the credit facility with Structural Capital Investments II LP (“Structural”) in the third quarter of 2023.

Interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $762 compared to interest income of $1,015 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Interest income as a percentage of revenue was 1% for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $662 compared to interest expense of $5,336 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Interest expense as a percentage of revenue was 1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to 6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease in interest expense in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 is primarily due to our payoff of the outstanding debt under the credit facility with Structural in the third quarter of 2023.

Other (Expense) Income, Net

Other (expense) income, net for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was $0 compared to $283 of expense for the three months ended September 30, 2023. Other (expense) income, net as a percentage of revenue was negligible for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.

Other (expense) income, net for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $10 of income compared to $291 of expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Other (expense) income, net as a percentage of revenue was negligible for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.

Income Taxes

For the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, we recorded income tax expense attributable to continuing operations of $170 and income tax benefit of $123, respectively, an increase of $293.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, we recorded income tax expense attributable to continuing operations of $434 and $267, respectively, an increase of $167.

Net Loss

We incurred a loss of $3,901, or $0.15 per share, during the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to a loss of $2,206, or $0.10 per share, during the three months ended September 30, 2023. Loss as a percentage of total revenue was 13% and 8% for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

We incurred a loss of $8,569, or $0.33 per share, during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to a loss of $5,632, or $0.27 per share, during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Loss as a percentage of total revenue was 10% and 6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES (in thousands)
 September 30, 2024December 31, 2023
Cash and cash equivalents $11,248 $30,317 
(1)Amounts exclude cash and cash equivalents included in funds held for clients on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of each date.

Working Capital. We had working capital of $14,428 at September 30, 2024, a decrease of $11,452 from working capital of $25,880 at December 31, 2023. Working capital as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 includes $3,029 and $6,853 of short-term deferred revenue, respectively. Deferred revenue is an obligation to perform future services. We expect that deferred revenue will convert to future revenue as we perform our services, but this does not represent future payments. Deferred revenue can vary based on seasonality, expiration of initial multi-year contracts and deals that are billed after implementation rather than in advance of service delivery.

Operating Activities. Net cash used in operating activities of $394 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was primarily driven by changes in operating assets and liabilities, as noted in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, which resulted in a use of $12,859 in cash. This was offset by non-cash adjustments to our net loss of approximately $21,034, primarily due to depreciation, amortization, and share-based compensation, which is driven by acquisitions of intangible assets since the third quarter of 2023 and equity compensation arrangements granted in 2024, respectively. Net cash provided by operating activities of $11,835 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was driven by non-cash adjustments to our net loss of approximately $23,483, primarily due to depreciation, amortization, and share-based compensation. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, changes in operating assets and liabilities resulted in a use of $6,016 in cash.

Investing Activities. Net cash used in investing activities of $18,209 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 is primarily due to acquisitions of intangible assets in business combinations or asset acquisitions of $12,397, purchases of available-for-sale securities and maturities of $10,914, and software capitalization costs of $7,677, partially offset by proceeds from sales and maturities of available-for-sale securities of $13,325. Net cash used in investing activities of $18,176 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 is primarily due to purchases of available-for-sale securities and maturities of $21,513.

Financing Activities. Net cash used in financing activities was $26,291 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, which primarily consisted of a net decrease in client fund obligations of $26,068. Net cash used in financing activities was $21,400 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, which primarily consisted of payments of notes payable of $35,627 for the extinguishment of the structural debt and a net decrease in client fund obligations of $31,033. These usages of cash were partially offset by net proceeds from issuance of common stock of $45,986.

We have outstanding promissory notes in connection with a business combination and multiple asset acquisitions executed between September 2021 and July 2024, all of which are immaterial individually and in the aggregate. As of September 30, 2024, these promissory notes have a total outstanding balance of $9,943, have maturities ranging from October 1, 2025, to July 1, 2029, and carry interest ranging from 2% to 5%.

Sources of Liquidity. As of September 30, 2024, the Company’s principal sources of liquidity consisted of approximately $11,248 of cash and cash equivalents, together with cash generated from operations of our business over the next twelve months. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $30,317. These amounts do not include cash contained within client funds. The decrease of cash and cash equivalents is primarily due to the Company’s investing activities of acquisitions and software capitalization.

We cannot ensure that we can grow our cash balances or limit our cash consumption and thus maintain sufficient cash balances for our planned operations or future acquisitions; however, we do believe that we have sufficient liquidity to support our business operations for at least the next twelve months. Future business demands may lead to cash utilization at levels greater than recently experienced or expected. We may need to raise additional capital in the future in order to grow our existing software operations and to seek additional strategic acquisitions in the near future. Currently, we do not have a credit facility or access to a line of credit as of September 30, 2024 and we may leverage these potential sources of liquidity to raise additional capital for the aforementioned purposes. If we do leverage such sources, we cannot ensure that we will be able to raise additional capital on acceptable terms, or at all, or at the time we need it. We also cannot ensure that we will be able to obtain financing through lending institutions when we need it or on acceptable terms.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

We have prepared our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and included the accounts of our wholly owned subsidiaries. We have eliminated all significant intercompany transactions and balances in the consolidation. Preparation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of the assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at fiscal year-end and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the fiscal year. The more significant estimates made by management include the valuation allowance for our gross deferred tax asset, the determination of the fair value of our long-lived assets. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that management believes are reasonable under the given circumstances. These estimates could be materially different under different conditions and assumptions. Additionally, the actual amounts could differ from the estimates made. Management periodically evaluates estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements for continued reasonableness. We prospectively apply appropriate adjustments, if any, to our estimates based upon our periodic evaluation. For a description of our critical accounting policies, see Management’s Discussion and Analysis in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
26

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

There have been no material changes to our exposure from market risks from those disclosed in our 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Control and Procedures

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports filed or submitted by Asure to the SEC is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported, within the time periods specified by the SEC’s rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to management including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, performed an evaluation to conclude with reasonable assurance that Asure’s disclosure controls and procedures were designed and operating effectively to report the information each company is required to disclose in the reports they file with the SEC on a timely basis. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of the Company have concluded that as of September 30, 2024, disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Change in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

During the period ended September 30, 2024, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
27

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We have 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, 2024, we were not party to any material legal proceedings.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Except for the risk factor set forth below, which was also included on our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2024, there have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in the Company’s 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on February 26, 2024, and investors are encouraged to review these risk factors prior to making an investment in the Company. In connection with recent acquisitions the risk factor set forth below has been restated to include the acquisition of complementary businesses in addition to the acquisition of reseller partners.

We have acquired and plan to continue to acquire from time to time our Reseller Partners' businesses that have licensed our proprietary software and other complementary businesses either through stock acquisition or through an asset purchase of their client service agreements and related assets. These acquisitions could prove difficult to integrate, result in unknown or unforeseen liabilities, disrupt our business, dilute stockholder value and ownership and adversely affect our operating results and financial condition.

Acquisitions and investments involve numerous risks, including:

potential failure to achieve the expected benefits of the combination or acquisition;

difficulties in, and the cost of, integrating operations, technologies, services, platforms and personnel;

diversion of financial and managerial resources from existing operations;

the potential entry into new markets in which we have little or no experience or where competitors may have stronger market positions;

potential write-offs of acquired assets or investments, and potential financial and credit risks associated with acquired customers;

potential loss of key employees of the acquired company;

inability to generate sufficient revenue to offset acquisition or investment costs;

inability to maintain relationships with customers and partners of the acquired business;

difficulty of transitioning the acquired technology onto our existing platforms and customer acceptance of multiple platforms on a temporary or permanent basis;

increasing or maintaining the security standards for acquired technology consistent with our other services;

potential unknown liabilities associated with the acquired businesses including regulatory noncompliance;

negative impact to our results of operations because of the depreciation and amortization of amounts related to acquired intangible assets, fixed assets and deferred compensation;

additional stock based compensation;

the loss of acquired deferred revenue and unbilled deferred revenue;

delays in customer purchases due to uncertainty related to any acquisition;

ineffective or inadequate controls, procedures and policies at the acquired company;

28

potential additional cybersecurity and compliance risks resulting from entry into new markets; and

the tax effects of any such acquisitions.

Any of these risks could have an adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition. To facilitate these acquisitions or investments, we may seek equity or debt financing, which may not be available on terms favorable to us, or at all, which may affect our ability to complete acquisitions or investments. If we finance acquisitions by issuing equity or convertible or other debt securities or loans, or issue equity as consideration for an acquisition, our existing stockholders may be diluted, or we could face constraints related to the terms of, and repayment obligations related to, the incurrence of indebtedness.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

On July 11, 2024, we issued 525 shares of our common stock to an applicant tracking technology company based in South Dakota from whom we acquired certain of their assets. The shares were part of the purchase price consideration in connection with such purchase. The shares were valued at $8.09 per share, or an aggregate of $4,250. The issuance and sale of the shares of our common stock in connection with this acquisition are exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) thereof and Rule 506(b) of Regulation D thereunder.

ITEM 3. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES

None.

ITEM 4. MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURES

None.

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION

On October 31, 2024, we entered into a Sales Agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) with Roth Capital Partners, LLC ("Roth”). The Sales Agreement provides for the offer and sale of up to $25,000 of our newly issued Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), from time to time through an “at the market offering” program. We will specify the parameters for the sale of the shares of Common Stock, including the number of shares to be issued, the time period during which sales are requested to be made, any limitation on the number of shares that may be sold in any one trading day and any minimum price below which sales may not be made. We may offer and sell up to $25,000 of shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Sales Agreement. Actual sales of Common Stock under the Sales Agreement will depend on a variety of factors including, among other things, market conditions, the trading price of the Common Stock, and potential funding needs. As a result, the full amount of capital may not be fully realized. We intend to use the net proceeds from these at-market offerings, if any, for general corporate purposes. Our general corporate purposes include, but are not limited to, repayment or refinancing of debt, capital expenditures, funding possible acquisitions, working capital and satisfaction of other obligations.

During the three months ended September 30, 2024, none of our directors or officers have entered into, or terminated, a 10b5-1 trading plan.

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

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

We develop, market, sell and support our offerings nationwide through our principal office in Austin, Texas and from our other office locations in Alabama, California, Florida, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, South Dakota, Tennessee, and Vermont.

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

In the opinion of management, these interim financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal, recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position as of September 30, 2024, comprehensive loss and changes in stockholders’ equity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023. Certain amounts in the prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the presentation of the current period financial statements. These reclassifications had no effect on the consolidated financial position or consolidated results of operations of the Company.
These unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with our audited Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto filed with the SEC in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 (our “2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K”). The Company’s results for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for a full fiscal year.

USE OF ESTIMATES

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

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

We consider all highly liquid investments with maturities of 90 days or less to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents include investments in an institutional money market fund, which invests in U.S. Treasury bills, notes and bonds, and/or repurchase agreements, backed by such obligations. Carrying value approximates fair value.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (Topic 740), which requires companies to disaggregate information about their effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid. The standard applies to all entities subject to income taxes. The standard becomes effective for public entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. We are currently evaluating this standard and the potential effects of these changes to our consolidated financial statements and will adopt this new standard in the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2025.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which improves reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses for interim and annual periods. In addition, the standard requires public entities that have a single reportable segment to provide all the disclosures required by the standard and all existing segment disclosures in Topic 280. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. We are currently evaluating this standard and the potential effects of these changes to our consolidated financial statements and will adopt this new standard in the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024.

Business Combinations

Effective July 11, 2024, we purchased substantially all the assets of an applicant tracking technology company based out of South Dakota for an innovative hiring solution designed to streamline the recruitment process for small and mid-sized businesses. This strategic acquisition reinforces Asure’s commitment to delivering comprehensive, user-friendly tools that simplify people management. The aggregate purchase price paid for the business was $15,162, consisting of $7,900 paid in cash on hand, $3,000 in the form of a promissory note ($1,716 net of discount), and 525 shares of Asure common stock, which had a fair value of $4,262 on the day of acquisition. As of September 30, 2024, the promissory note had an outstanding principal balance of $3,000 and matures on July 1, 2029.

The purchase consideration was allocated among the acquired assets, which consist of a customer relationships intangible asset with fair value of $2,700, and a developed technology intangible asset with a fair value of $3,200. Additionally, we assumed $237 of deferred revenue and $498 of other accrued liabilities as part of the transaction. The intangible assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis over eight and five years, respectively.

The remaining $8,713 of excess purchase consideration was allocated to goodwill, which is expected to be fully deductible for tax purposes. This represents the knowledge and experience of the employees retained as part of the transaction as well as the synergies and economies of scale expected from expanding the Midwest operating region to a national scale.

The operations included in the Company’s financial statements for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2024, and pro forma revenue and earnings amounts on a combined basis as if this acquisition had been completed on January 1, 2023, are immaterial to the consolidated financial statements of the Company and have been excluded.

Asset Acquisitions

Effective April 30, 2024, we acquired certain assets of an Ohio based reseller partner, which were used to provide payroll processing services. The aggregate purchase price paid for the acquisition of these assets was $3,000, consisting of $2,300 paid in cash on hand, and $700 in the form of a promissory note, plus 50 shares of Asure common stock. The acquired customer relationships are recorded as an intangible asset and are being amortized on a straight-line basis over eight years. As of September 30, 2024, the promissory note had an outstanding principal balance of $700 and matures on October 30, 2025.

Effective February 22, 2024, we acquired certain assets of a payroll processing and benefits brokerage servicer based in New Jersey. The aggregate purchase price paid for the acquisition of these assets was $6,000, consisting of $500 paid in cash on hand, 450 shares of Asure common stock, having an agreed value of $4,500, and the remaining $1,000 in the form of a promissory note. The acquired customer relationships are recorded as an intangible asset and are being amortized on a straight-line basis over eight years. As of September 30, 2024, the promissory note had an outstanding principal balance of $963 and matures on February 22, 2026.

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

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

The following table presents the fair value hierarchy for our financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis for the periods presented below (in thousands):

(1)Unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities are included as a component of comprehensive loss. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were 82 and 54 securities, respectively, in an unrealized gain position and there were 80 and 113 securities in an unrealized loss position, respectively. As of September 30, 2024, these unrealized losses were less than $35 individually and $576 in the aggregate. As of December 31, 2023, these unrealized losses were less than $61 individually and $1,363 in the aggregate. We invest in high quality securities with roughly 70% of our portfolio made up of A ratings and above with unrealized losses primarily attributable to macroeconomic factors rather than credit related. These securities have not been in a continuous unrealized gain or loss position for more than 12 months. We do not intend to sell these investments and we do not expect to sell these investments before recovery of their amortized cost basis, which may be at maturity. We review our investments to identify and evaluate investments that indicate possible credit losses. Factors considered in determining whether a loss is a credit loss include the length of time and extent to which fair value has been less than the cost basis, the credit rating of the investment, and our intent and ability to hold the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in market value.

(2)At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, none of these securities were classified as cash and cash equivalents on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

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

We believe significant synergies are expected to arise from our strategic acquisitions and their assembled work forces. This factor contributed to a purchase price that was in excess of the fair value of the net assets acquired and, as a result, we recorded goodwill for each acquisition. A portion of acquired goodwill will be amortizable for tax purposes. As of September 30, 2024, there has been no impairment of goodwill based on the qualitative assessments performed by the Company.

Amortization expenses recorded in operating expenses were $11,790 and $9,929 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Amortization expenses recorded in cost of sales were $150 and $368 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. There was no impairment of intangibles during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 based on the qualitative assessment performed by the Company. However, if market, political and other conditions over which we have no control continue to affect the capital markets and our stock price declines, we may experience an impairment of our intangibles in future quarters.

In April 2024, we acquired certain assets of an Ohio based reseller partner, which were used to provide payroll processing services. In connection with the acquisition, we delivered a promissory note to the seller. As of September 30, 2024, the promissory note had an outstanding principal balance of $700 and matures on October 30, 2025.

In February 2024, we acquired certain assets of a payroll processing and benefits brokerage servicer based in New Jersey.

As of September 30, 2024, the promissory note had an outstanding principal balance of $1,500 and matures on October 1, 2025.

In April 2023, we calculated the final contingent consideration due in connection with the acquisition of a payroll business in September 2021. As a result, the fair value of the contingent consideration of $587 was added as an increase to the principal balance due on the promissory note. As of September 30, 2024, the promissory note had an outstanding principal balance of $3,780.

See Note 3 — Business Combinations and Asset Acquisitions for further discussion regarding the issuance of notes payable related to acquisitions.

Senior Credit Facility with Structural Capital Investments III, LP

On September 12, 2023, we terminated the Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”), among the Company, Structural Capital Investments III, LP (“Structural” and together with the other lenders that were parties thereto, the “Lenders”), and Ocean II PLO LLC, as administrative and collateral agent for the Lender and repaid the outstanding balance on the secured promissory note issued under the Loan Agreement (the “Note”). In connection with the termination, the Company paid the Agent for the benefit of the Lenders an aggregate amount of $30,927 (the “Payoff Amount”) in full payment of our outstanding obligations under the Loan Agreement. The Payoff Amount represented $30,617 of outstanding principal and interest on the unpaid principal balance, a 1.0% prepayment fee in the amount of $306 and $5 for the accrued non-utilization fee and lender expenses associated with the extinguishment. As of September 30, 2024, there are no further amounts due or owing under the Facility.

On August 7, 2023, we entered into an amendment to the Loan Agreement, whereby the Final Payment Fee (as defined in the Loan Agreement) was settled for $1,677 (the “Settled Amount”), which was paid on August 7, 2023. The Final Payment Fee was originally equal to 1.0% of the increase in our market capitalization since September 10, 2021, and was due upon payment in full of the obligations under the Loan Agreement. We also paid the Lenders a breakup fee equal to $250.

Receivables from contracts with customers, net of allowance for credit losses of $6,150, were $17,233 at September 30, 2024. Receivables from contracts with customers, net of allowance for credit losses of $4,787, were $14,202 at December 31, 2023. We had a provision for expected losses of $111, write-offs charged against the allowance for credit losses of $16, and recoveries on previously written off receivables of $1,267 during the nine months ended September 30, 2024. No customer represented more than 10% of our net accounts receivable balance as of September 30, 2024 or December 31, 2023.

Deferred Commissions

Deferred commission costs from contracts with customers were $11,958 and $10,302 at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The amount of amortization recognized for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $689 and $1,548, respectively, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $1,029 and $2,176, respectively.

Deferred Revenue

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, revenue of $286 and $6,409, respectively, and during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, revenue of $924 and $6,650, respectively, was recognized from the deferred revenue balance at the beginning of each period.

Transaction Price Allocated to the Remaining Performance Obligations

As of September 30, 2024, approximately $67,318 of revenue is expected to be recognized from remaining performance obligations. We expect to recognize revenue on approximately 34% of these remaining performance obligations over the next 12 months, with the balance recognized thereafter. These amounts exclude remaining performance obligations related to contracts for professional services for tax and payroll offerings whose remaining contractual term is less than one year as of September 30, 2024.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, various multi-year license arrangement was finalized primarily driving the increase in our deferred revenue balances as of September 30, 2024 when compared to December 31, 2023.

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

We record base rent expense under the straight-line method over the term of the lease. In the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss, rent expense is included in operating expenses under general and administrative expenses. The components of the rent expense are as follows for the periods presented below (in thousands):

Sublease income— (5)(4)(13)
Net rent expense$501 $476 $1,450 $1,883 
For purposes of calculating the operating lease assets and lease liabilities, extension options are not included in the lease term unless it is reasonably certain we will exercise the option, or the lessor has the sole ability to exercise the option. The weighted average discount rate of our operating leases is 10% as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The weighted average remaining lease term is four years and five years as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]  
SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
We have one active equity plan, the 2018 Incentive Award Plan (the “2018 Plan”). The 2018 Plan, approved by our stockholders, replaced our 2009 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended (the “2009 Plan”); however, the terms and conditions of the 2009 Plan will continue to govern any outstanding awards granted thereunder.

The number of shares reserved for issuance under the 2018 Plan is 4,748 shares. We have an aggregate of 2,525 options, restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and performance stock units (“PSUs”) granted and outstanding pursuant to the 2018 Plan as of September 30, 2024. As of September 30, 2024, the number of shares available for future grant under the 2018 Plan is 972.

Share based compensation for our stock option plans for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $1,591 and $4,981, respectively, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $1,251 and $4,170, respectively. Issuance of common stock related to the exercise of stock options, the vesting of restricted stock units, and the vesting of restricted stock units converted from performance stock units are as follows for the period presented below (in thousands):

Effective January 1, 2024, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Compensation Committee”) approved the grant of PSUs pursuant to a PSU Award Grant Notice and PSU Award Agreement (the “2024 PSU Award Agreement”) under the 2018 Plan to our executive officers payable in the form of RSUs. The number of RSUs into which the PSUs convert for each executive officer is a sliding scale between 0% to 200% of the target amount based on the Company’s achievement of certain performance metrics tied to the Company’s recurring revenue and gross profit for 2024.

Effective January 1, 2023, the Compensation Committee approved the grant of PSUs pursuant to a PSU Award Grant Notice and PSU Award Agreement (the “2023 PSU Award Agreement”) under the 2018 Plan to our executive officers payable in the form of RSUs. The number of RSUs into which the PSUs converted for each executive officer was a sliding scale between 0% to 200% of the target amount based on the Company’s achievement of certain performance metrics tied to the Company’s recurring revenue and gross profit for 2023. On February 26, 2024, the PSUs converted to RSUs at 200% of target based on the achievement of set performance metrics, and we paid out a total of 325 RSUs to our executive officers.

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

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net loss per common share for the periods presented below (in thousands, except per share amounts):

On October 31, 2024, the Company entered into a Sales Agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) with Roth Capital Partners, LLC ("Roth”). The Sales Agreement provides for the offer and sale of up to $25,000 of the Company’s newly issued Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), from time to time through an “at the market offering” program. The Company will specify the parameters for the sale of the shares of Common Stock, including the number of shares to be issued, the time period during which sales are requested to be made, any limitation on the number of shares that may be sold in any one trading day and any minimum price below which sales may not be made. The Company may offer and sell up to $25,000 of shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Sales Agreement. Actual sales of Common Stock under the Sales Agreement will depend on a variety of factors including, among other things, market conditions, the trading price of the Common Stock and potential funding needs. As a result, the full amount of capital may not be fully realized. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from these at-market offerings, if any, for general corporate purposes. The Company's general corporate purposes include, but are not limited to, repayment or refinancing of debt, capital expenditures, funding possible acquisitions, working capital and satisfaction of other obligations.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Use of Estimates
USE OF ESTIMATES

Preparation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of the assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve judgments. The more significant estimates made by management include the valuation allowance for the gross deferred tax assets, the determination of the fair value of its long-lived assets, and the fair value of assets acquired, and liabilities assumed during acquisitions. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions management believes reasonable under the given circumstances. These estimates could be materially different under different conditions and assumptions.
Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
We consider all highly liquid investments with maturities of 90 days or less to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents include investments in an institutional money market fund, which invests in U.S. Treasury bills, notes and bonds, and/or repurchase agreements, backed by such obligations. Carrying value approximates fair value.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (Topic 740), which requires companies to disaggregate information about their effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid. The standard applies to all entities subject to income taxes. The standard becomes effective for public entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. We are currently evaluating this standard and the potential effects of these changes to our consolidated financial statements and will adopt this new standard in the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2025.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which improves reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses for interim and annual periods. In addition, the standard requires public entities that have a single reportable segment to provide all the disclosures required by the standard and all existing segment disclosures in Topic 280. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. We are currently evaluating this standard and the potential effects of these changes to our consolidated financial statements and will adopt this new standard in the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024.

ACCUMULATED OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME & LOSS

As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, accumulated other comprehensive income & loss consisted of net unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments, Policy
Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 820 “Fair Value Measurement” (ASC 820) defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under U.S. GAAP and enhances disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. ASC 820 describes a fair value hierarchy based on the following three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable:

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

As of September 30, 2024, these unrealized losses were less than $35 individually and $576 in the aggregate. As of December 31, 2023, these unrealized losses were less than $61 individually and $1,363 in the aggregate. We invest in high quality securities with roughly 70% of our portfolio made up of A ratings and above with unrealized losses primarily attributable to macroeconomic factors rather than credit related. These securities have not been in a continuous unrealized gain or loss position for more than 12 months. We do not intend to sell these investments and we do not expect to sell these investments before recovery of their amortized cost basis, which may be at maturity. We review our investments to identify and evaluate investments that indicate possible credit losses. Factors considered in determining whether a loss is a credit loss include the length of time and extent to which fair value has been less than the cost basis, the credit rating of the investment, and our intent and ability to hold the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in market value.
