PART I

ITEM 1.  BUSINESS

GENERAL

Asure Software, Inc., a Delaware corporation, is a global provider of cloud-based software-as-a-service (“SaaS”) solutions that help companies bring people, time, space and assets together.

Asure serves approximately 6,000 clients in 80 countries, ranging from global Fortune 500 clients to small and mid-sized businesses. Some of our clients include Aetna, Baker & McKenzie, Deutsche Bank, KPMG UK, Merck and Co., Inc., Mondelez, Pfizer, Inc., Pearson, PSSI, Salesforce.com, Inc., State Street and Thomson Reuters. Our mission guides the work we do each day; it is “To deliver innovative technology with the passion to empower every client’s workplace and the commitment to make their workdays easier.”

We currently offer a full suite of solutions to help clients optimize and manage their mobile workforces and their global workspaces. SaaS-based offerings include: asset management, mobile room scheduling, mobile time tracking, scheduling software, space utilization solutions, tablet-based time clocks, time and labor management software, traditional time clocks, touch panels for room scheduling, and workplace business intelligence (“BI”) analytics. All products are implemented using our proven client deployment model and supported with professional services and client support teams as needed.

More than ever, companies are trying to get a handle on how to track, understand and optimize their real estate and time and labor costs in a world that is becoming increasingly mobile and global. With tele-commuting, hoteling (i.e., sharing of cubical space), and alternative working on the rise, executives have an opportunity to reinvent their workspaces to better meet the needs of their workforces and save millions in real estate costs. Similarly, mobile time tracking with geospacial and facial recognition technologies allows executives to better understand where and when their employees are working, and provides great insights into optimizing labor schedules and labor costs. Mobile time and tablet-based time tracking solutions also help combat “buddy punching”- when a dishonest worker covers for an absent co-worker by punching the company time clock for the absent worker- which can cost companies millions of dollars per year.

We were incorporated in 1985 and our principal executive offices are located at 110 Wild Basin Road, Suite 100, Austin, Texas 78746.  Our telephone number is (512) 437-2700 and our website is www.asuresoftware.com.  Information on our website is not part of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Asure makes available free of charge, on or through its website, our annual report on Form 10-K, our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and our current reports on Form 8-K, and amendments to those reports filed or furnished pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, as soon as reasonably practicable after we electronically file these materials or furnish them to the Securities and Exchange Commission.
 
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
 
Term Loan - Wells Fargo

In March 2014, we entered into a credit agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“N.A.”), as administrative agent, and the lenders that are party thereto (“Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement provides for a term loan in the amount of $15.0 million. The term loan will mature in March 2019. The Credit Agreement was amended in August 2014 to revise the leverage ratio beginning with the quarter ending September 30, 2014 to a leverage ratio of not greater than 3.6 to 1.0 with the levels stepping down thereafter. The Credit Agreement was amended in March 2015 to authorize us to optionally prepay, subject to specified conditions, the Subordinated Note Payable to Roomtag and to revise the leverage ratio beginning with the quarter ended March 31, 2015 to a leverage ratio of not greater than 3.5 to 1.0 with the levels stepping down thereafter.

We were in compliance with the covenant requirements as of December 31, 2014 and expect to be in compliance or be able to obtain compliance through debt repayments with the available cash on hand or as expected to be generated from operations over the subsequent twelve month period.

See Note 6 - Note Payable in the accompanying financial statements for more information about the Credit Agreement and Guaranty and Security Agreement.

2014 Acquisitions

In July 2014, we acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock (the “Shares”) of FotoPunch, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“FotoPunch”), a cloud-based time and labor solution provider whose photo-based time clock technology transforms any mobile device into a biometric, geo-located time clock. We have been working with FotoPunch since 2012 as a technology partner for our GeoPunch™ solution, which was launched to help customers support a workforce that is increasingly mobile, global and dispersed.

           The aggregate consideration for the Shares consisted of (i) $1.5 million in cash, a portion of which was used to pay certain obligations of FotoPunch and (ii) up to an additional $3.0 million in post-closing earnout payments. We funded the $1.5 million cash payment with proceeds from our Credit Agreement with Wells Fargo.

The $3.0 million earnout is payable over three earnout periods (with the first, second and third periods ending June 30, 2015, June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2018, respectively) based on the FotoPunch operations achieving specified target revenues in each earnout period. At least 75% of the target revenues must be achieved in the first and second earnout periods and at least 50% of the target revenues must be achieved in the third earnout period.
 
In August 2014, we acquired substantially all the assets of Roomtag, LLC (“Roomtag”). The aggregate consideration for the assets consisted of (i) $933,000 in cash and (ii) an unsecured subordinated promissory note (“Note”) for $754,000. We funded the $933,000 cash payment with proceeds from our Credit Agreement with Wells Fargo. The Note bears interest at an annual rate of 0.36% and is payable on October 31, 2016. See Note 6 - Note Payable in the accompanying financial statements for more information about the Note.
 
PRODUCTS AND SERVICES

Asure’s SaaS-based solutions are uniquely designed to help companies bring people, time, space and assets together to more effectively manage their global, mobile workforces. As companies recruit, hire and work to retain mobile employees, executives use Asure’s solutions to understand how their workspaces are used, track how and when people work, and foster productivity by making it easy for employees to find the workspace they need. We currently offer two main product lines, AsureSpace™ and AsureForce®.  AsureSpace™ provides workplace management solutions that enable organizations to manage their office environments and optimize real estate utilization, and AsureForce® time and labor management solutions help organizations optimize labor and labor administration costs and activities.

With AsureSpace™ workspace management solutions, clients realize significant costs savings and Return on Investment (“ROI”) gains by better using their real estate with a full portfolio of industry-leading, global, SaaS-based solutions. Our SmartView® product offers unique insights into how space is being used, which allows companies to make proactive, strategic decisions about real estate investments. SmartTag® asset management helps companies assign physical assets to people and spaces so they can track and recover all assets, including cell phones, laptops, desks, chairs, and virtually any item assigned to an employee. AsureSpace™ resource scheduling and meeting room management solutions help employees easily find and reserve space for their specific needs. Our new product, NowSpace®, allows users to find and reserve desk spaces, conference rooms, catering, audiovisual, and more directly from their smart phones. AsureSpace™ touch panels and kiosks are placed outside busy areas for on-the-fly desk and space reservation needs; viewers can find, reserve and use available space as needed. And lastly, Workplace BI tools offer invaluable reporting for executives to understand space utilization and continue to make improvements in their real estate investments.

Cost savings and additional ROI gains come in the form of a more strategic use of labor dollars and the elimination of time theft with AsureForce® workforce management solutions.  GeoPunch® mobile time tracking, the AirClock™ tablet-based time tracking, and Asure’s workforce management platform offer clients several advantages. First, mobile time tracking with geospacial and facial recognition technologies help executives better understand where and when their employees are working and provide great insights into optimizing labor schedules and labor costs. Mobile time and tablet-based time tracking solutions make it much more efficient for employees to punch in and out from wherever they are working, whether it is a client site, a work site, or a home-based work arrangement. GeoPunch® and AirClock™ also help combat buddy punching, which can cost companies millions of dollars per year. Finally, employees, supervisors and executives have real-time access to data and business intelligence to eliminate buddy punching, optimize job costing and labor scheduling, and ultimately control and optimize labor costs.
 
For both product lines, support and professional services are other key elements of our software and services business. As an extension of our perpetual software product offerings, Asure offers our customers maintenance and support contracts that provide ready access to qualified support staff, software patches and upgrades to our software products.   We also provide installation of and training on our products, add-on software customization and other professional services on a global scale.

PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT

We strive to quickly bring to market innovative, cloud-based solutions that work when, where and how workforces are operating today. Asure’s strategy is to deliver the right technology to its customer base in order to realize efficiencies in the workplace. First-to-market mobile applications are a testament to our success in innovation. Additionally, Asure is committed to co-innovation, working in partnership with industry leaders, partners and clients around the globe to develop technology solutions that meet the needs of a rapidly shifting workplace.

Our industry is characterized by continuing improvements in technology, resulting in the frequent introduction of new products, short product life cycles, changes in customer needs and continual improvement in product performance characteristics.   Asure strives to be cost-effective and timely in enhancing our software applications, developing new innovative software solutions that address the increasingly sophisticated and varied needs of an evolving range of customers, and anticipating technological advances and evolving industry standards and practices.
 
Asure development teams – located in Traverse City, Michigan; Dedham, Massachusetts; Salt Lake City, Utah and Austin, Texas – are staffed with software developers, quality assurance engineers and support specialists who work closely with our customers and sales and marketing teams to build products and services based on market requirements and customer feedback.  We develop our new product and service roadmaps based on inputs from customers, competitive comparisons and relevant technology innovations. 
 
Our research and development strategy is rooted in innovation and flexibility. The development team enhances the functionality of our software and hardware products through new releases and new feature developments, with a particular focus on cloud-based SaaS solutions and products for the mobile workforce.  Asure will also continue to evaluate opportunities for developing new software so that organizations may further streamline and automate the tasks associated with administering their businesses.  We seek to simultaneously allow organizations to improve their productivity while reducing the costs associated with those business tasks.
 
We also actively search for potential product, service or business acquisitions that we believe will complement our existing and planned product and service offerings.  We cannot assure that we will make future acquisitions or that we can successfully integrate acquired assets or businesses profitably into Asure.

Despite our efforts, we also cannot assure that we will complete our existing and future development efforts or that our new and enhanced software products will adequately meet the requirements of the marketplace and achieve market acceptance.  Additionally, Asure may experience difficulties that could delay or prevent the successful development or introduction of new or enhanced software products.  In the case of acquiring new or complementary software products or technologies, we may not be able to integrate the acquisitions into our current product lines.  Furthermore, despite extensive testing, errors may be found in new software products or releases after shipment, resulting in a diversion of development resources, increased service costs, loss of revenue and/or delay in market acceptance.
 
SALES AND DISTRIBUTION

Asure sells its software products and services through both a direct and channel (partner) model, which enables us to sell our software solutions in an efficient, cost-effective manner. Prospective customers learn about Asure through a variety of ways, including advertising, web site searches, sales calls, public relations, direct marketing and social media.  When prospective customers show an interest in Asure, we connect them with a sales representative via our web site, phone or a face-to-face meeting to discuss their needs and the solutions they are interested in and make the sale.  We track our marketing and sales activities to provide immediate preview into activities, leads and pipeline opportunities. Asure account management teams also work with existing customers to promote and sell additional solutions that are relevant for each customer. In addition to this direct sales model, we supplement these efforts with our partner programs described below.  By working with our partners, we expand the reach of our direct sales force and gain access to key opportunities in major market segments worldwide.  Asure has two distinct levels of partners in our Partner Program: Reseller Partners and Referral Partners.
 
Reseller Partners. Reseller Partners are companies that represent us globally, as well as before the Federal government, and often offer complementary products to either the workspace management product line or the workforce product line.  Reseller Partners commit to a minimum level of business per year with us and receive a channel discount for that commitment.  Our Reseller Partners outside the United States include Novera in Australia which represents the workspace product line.  We also have several Reseller Partners that represent our software in the Federal government space.  Resellers of our workforce product line in the United States include Oasis Outsourcing, a large provider of human resource outsourcing solutions.

Table of Contents
 
Referral Partners.  Referral Partners provide us with the name and particular information about a prospective customer and its needs as a sales lead.  If we accept the sales lead, we register it for the Referral Partner.  If we make a sale as a direct result of such a lead, we will pay the Referral Partner a sales lead referral fee.  Currently, we have a number of Referral Partners, including PolyVision Corp., Steelcase and e-Innovative Solutions for the workspace management product line and several smaller firms for our workforce product line.
 
COMPETITION

We believe we have a unique position in the market place, in that Asure is the only technology company in the world that offers SaaS-based workspace and workforce management solutions from a single partner. Additionally, we believe Asure has been first-to-market with mobile apps in the workspace management industry and we are the only known company to have both geospatial and facial recognition technology working together for mobile time tracking.

 Specific to the AsureSpace™ line of workspace management software solutions, we have a competitive advantage in the breadth of our comprehensive platform of workspace scheduling and utilization analytics as well as our resources available for product development, client services, and customer support.  The primary competitors to AsureSpace™ include Dean Evans & Associates, Inc., Emergingsoft Corporation, AgilQuest Corporation and Condeco Ltd. (UK).  In addition to the features and available services, we believe the principal advantages of AsureSpace™ with respect to its competitors include its cloud-based services model, extensive product integration options and partner channel, scalable deployments, configurable interfaces, mobile access and price.

We believe that the AsureForce® line of workforce management software solutions has a competitive advantage in the marketplace in serving organizations seeking specific point-solutions as well as organizations desiring an integrated suite of solutions, particularly in the area of mobile time collection. We believe GeoPunch® and AirClock™ products are first-to-market technology solutions with significant market demand. By competing tactically with point-solutions and strategically with an integrated suite of solutions, Asure can serve the needs of a broad spectrum of companies. Primary competitors to AsureForce® include Kronos, Replicon, and Time Simplicity.
 
While Asure has the advantage of a flexible, easy to use, cloud-based, SaaS-delivered software model, affordability and proven deployment methodology, we face several categories of competitive challenges:
 
Vendors with face-to-face sales contact. In this highly relationship-based sales process, vendors with large, dispersed field-based sales team who meet and consult with prospects have an advantage. Key U.S. vendors who approach the market in this manner include ADP, Kronos, PeopleSoft, Condeco and Steelcase. Asure has recently launched a field-based approach to sales and also focuses on high-touch marketing campaigns and leveraging relationships with channel partners to build relationships with prospects.

National payroll processors with loss-leader products. Large brand and market share payroll processing vendors (such as ADP, Inc.) offer equivalent point solutions at little or no cost to prospects when in a competitive engagement because these loss leader products become inconsequential next to their core business offerings.

Single application vendors. Vendors that offer similar point-solutions, such as room scheduling, office hoteling management, time and attendance, employee/manager self-service and paystub management, can be perceived as better meeting an immediate and specific need.

Because the market for our products and services is subject to rapid technological change and there are relatively low barriers to entry in the workplace management software market, we routinely encounter new entrants or competition from vendors in some or all aspects of our two product lines. Competition from these potential market entrants may take many forms. Some of our competitors, both current and future, may have greater financial, technical and marketing resources than us and therefore may be able to respond more quickly to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements.  As a result, they may compete more effectively on price and other terms.  Additionally, those competitors may devote greater resources in developing products or in promoting and selling their products to achieve greater market acceptance.  Asure is actively taking measures designed to address our competitive challenges.  However, we cannot assure that we will be able to achieve or maintain a competitive advantage with respect to any of the competitive factors.

MARKETING
 
Asure’s marketing strategy has relied on the development and implementation of a comprehensive integrated plan rooted in our business objectives.  The marketing plan includes four primary objectives: 1) build brand awareness, 2) develop lead generation programs that drive revenue, 3) launch products in a meaningful way and 4) develop an infrastructure that supports and measures marketing activities. We deploy multi-faceted, multi-series direct marketing programs to drive awareness, interest and revenue. Marketing vehicles include our web site, organic and paid search, advertising, public relations, direct marketing, events, social media, content marketing and eMarketing.  Our marketing plan addresses growth and retention goals for all target audiences, from small and medium-sized businesses to Fortune 500 companies and divisions of enterprise organizations throughout the United States, Europe and Asia/Pacific.  
 
TRADEMARKS

We have registered Asure Software® as a federal trademark with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.  Our other federal trademarks include AsureForce®, Face Time Clock®, Legiant Timecard® and ADI Time®, and we have pending applications for federal registration of the marks AsureSpace™, SmartView™ and GeoPunch™. We also use the common law trademarks iEmployee™, Netsimplicty™, AsureSpace™, ADI™ and Legiant Express™.

EMPLOYEES

As of December 31, 2014, we had a total of 119 employees in the following departments:
 
 	 	NUMBER OF	 	
FUNCTION	 	EMPLOYEES	 	
Research and development	 	 	26	 	
Sales and marketing	 	 	32	 	
Customer service and technical support	 	 	38	 	
Finance, human resources and administration	 	 	23	 	
Total	 	 	119	 	
 
We continually evaluate and adjust the size and composition of our workforce. We also periodically retain contractors to support our sales and marketing, information technology and administrative functions.  None of our employees are represented by a collective bargaining agreement.  Asure has not experienced any work stoppages and we consider our relations with our employees to be good.  Additionally, we augment our workforce capacity in research and development and customer service and technical support by contracting for services through third parties.
 
Our future performance depends largely on our ability to continually and effectively attract, train, retain, motivate and manage highly qualified and experienced technical, sales, marketing and managerial personnel.  Asure’s future development and growth depend on the efforts of key management personnel and technical employees. Asure uses incentives, including competitive compensation and stock options, to attract and retain well-qualified employees. However, we cannot assure that we will continue to attract and retain personnel with the requisite capabilities and experience. The loss of one or more of Asure’s key management or technical personnel could have a material and adverse effect on our business and operating results.

ITEM 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

In December 2012, we demanded a purchase price adjustment from PeopleCube Holding B.V. and Meeting Maker Holding B.V., the sellers of the capital stock of Meeting Maker – United States, Inc. (dba PeopleCube) that we purchased in July 2012, based on matters we discovered after closing.  Both parties agreed for the post-closing adjustment to be resolved by an independent accountant consistent with the purchase agreement. In September 2013, we reached an agreement (based upon the determination by the independent accountant) to settle our purchase price post-closing adjustment dispute with the sellers. The parties agreed to a post-closing adjustment due to us with accrued interest of $540,000. The parties agreed to reduce the original $3.0 million deferred purchase payment by the post-closing adjustment amount. This also had the effect of reducing our long-term debt by a like amount. The remaining deferred purchase price balance was $2.5 million. The parties also agreed to dismiss the litigation and claims in Texas in favor of consolidating all remaining disputes in the Massachusetts state court.

In February 2014, we reached an agreement to settle all claims and dismiss all pending litigation with the sellers. Under the settlement agreement, the parties agreed to dismiss the litigation and settle the remaining balance due of $2.5 million on the Subordinated Notes Payable: PeopleCube Acquisition Note for $1.7 million, which we paid within five business days after the date of the settlement agreement.  Separately, our insurance carrier agreed to pay us $500,000 in conjunction with the settlement.  With the insurance proceeds and after offsetting any related litigation costs incurred in 2014, we recorded a net gain of approximately $1.0 million on the settlement in the first quarter of 2014. We paid this note in full in the first quarter of 2014.
 
Finally, as part of the original purchase price in the PeopleCube acquisition, we issued 255,000 shares of our common stock subject to a lockup of 125,000 shares expiring in June 2013 and 130,000 shares expiring in June 2014.  This settlement removed the lockup for the remaining 130,000 shares.
 
Asure is periodically the defendant or plaintiff in other actions arising in the normal course of business.  No pending legal proceedings to which we are a party are material to us.

Asure plans to continue to target small and medium sized businesses and divisions of enterprises.  In addition to continuing to develop our workforce management solutions and release new software updates and enhancements, we are continuing to actively explore other opportunities to acquire additional products or technologies to complement our current software and services. As the overall workforce management solutions market continues to experience significant growth related to SaaS products, Asure intends to continue to focus on sales of our Meeting Room Manager, PeopleCube, and ADI SaaS-based products.

In March 2014, we entered into a new Credit Agreement and Guaranty and Security Agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association.  See “Recent Developments” above and Note 6- Note Payable in the accompanying financial statements for more information.  We used the proceeds of the $15.0 million term loan under the Credit Agreement to finance the repayment of all amounts outstanding under our loan agreement with Deerpath Funding, LP (“Deerpath”) and the payment of certain fees, cost and expenses related to the Credit Agreement.
 
In July 2014, we acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock (the “Shares”) of FotoPunch, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“FotoPunch”), a cloud-based time and labor solution provider whose photo-based time clock technology transforms any mobile device into a biometric, geo-located time clock. We have been working with FotoPunch since 2012 as a technology partner for our GeoPunch™ solution, which was launched to help customers support a workforce that is increasingly mobile, global and dispersed.
 
The aggregate consideration for the Shares consisted of (i) $1,500 in cash, a portion of which was used to pay certain obligations of FotoPunch and (ii) up to an additional $3,000 in post-closing earnout payments. We funded the $1,500 cash payment with proceeds from our credit agreement with Wells Fargo.

The $3,000 earnout is payable over three earnout periods (with the first, second and third periods ending June 30, 2015, June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2018, respectively) based on the FotoPunch operations achieving specified target revenues in each earnout period. At least 75% of the target revenues must be achieved in the first and second earnout periods and at least 50% of the target revenues must be achieved in the third earnout period.
 
In August 2014, we acquired substantially all the assets of Roomtag, LLC (“Roomtag”). The aggregate consideration for the assets consisted of (i) $933 in cash and (ii) an unsecured subordinated promissory note (“Note”) for $754. We funded the $933 cash payment with proceeds from our credit agreement with Wells Fargo. The Note bears interest at an annual rate of 0.36% and is payable on October 31, 2016. See Note 6 – Note Payable in the accompanying financial statements for more information about the Note.

Under the continued guidance and direction of our directors and Chief Executive Officer, Asure will continue to implement its corporate strategy for growing its software and services business.  However, uncertainties and challenges remain and there can be no assurances that Asure can successfully grow its revenues or achieve profitability and positive cash flows during calendar year 2015.

Total revenue	 	$	27,206	 	 	$	25,474	 	 	$	1,732	 	 	 	7	 	
 
Our product offerings are categorized into AsureSpace™ and AsureForce®. AsureSpace™ offers workplace management solutions that enable organizations to manage their office environments and optimize real estate utilization, and AsureForce® offers time and labor management solutions which help organizations optimize labor and labor administration costs and activities. Both product groupings include cloud revenue, hardware revenue, maintenance and support revenue, on premise software license revenue and professional services revenue. AsureSpace™ revenues include PeopleCube, Meeting Room Manager and Roomtag revenues. AsureForce® revenues include ADI, Legiant, iEmployee and FotoPunch revenues.

Table of Contents
 
Our total revenue in 2014 was $27.2 million, as compared to $25.5 million in 2013. Total revenue represents our consolidated revenue, including sales of our scheduling software, time and attendance and human resource software, complementary hardware devices to enhance our software products, software maintenance and support services, installation and training services and other professional services.
 
Total revenue increased by $1.7 million, or 6.8%, in 2014 as compared to 2013.   This increase was primarily due to an increase in cloud revenue, hardware revenue and professional services revenue, offset by smaller decreases in maintenance and support revenue and on premise software license revenue. AsureSpace™ revenue in 2014 increased $2.1 million, or 15.0%, offset by a decrease in AsureForce® of $362,000, or 3.2%, as compared to 2013. The increase in AsureSpace™ revenue consists of a $919,000 increase in cloud revenue, a $685,000 increase in hardware revenue, a $527,000 increase in professional services revenue and an $111,000 increase in on premise software, offset by a decrease of $148,000 in maintenance and support revenue. This increase in AsureSpace™ revenue was primarily due to an increase in PeopleCube and Meeting Room Manager cloud revenues, as well as the addition of Roomtag cloud revenue in 2014. There was also an increase in PeopleCube hardware and professional services revenue. The decrease in AsureForce® revenue was primarily due to decreases in all Legiant revenues, ADI hardware revenue and on premise software license revenue and iEmployee cloud revenue, hardware revenue and professional services revenue, offset by increases in ADI cloud revenue and professional services revenue.
 
Total cloud revenue increased $841,000, or 6.5%, over 2013. In AsureSpace™, PeopleCube’s cloud revenue accounted for $501,000 of this increase and Meeting Room Manager cloud revenue increased $264,000, or 12.3%, over 2013 cloud revenue.  Roomtag contributed $155,000 to cloud revenue in 2014. In AsureForce®, ADI cloud revenue increased $480,000, or 20.3%, over 2013. Legiant and iEmployee cloud revenue decreased by $197,000, or 27.1%, and $368,000, or 9.7%, over 2013, respectively.   The latter was due to turning focus away from the iEmployee software product and focusing resources on the newer technology in the ADI software subscription solutions. Overall, we attribute our cloud revenue increases to a combination of new sales offset by the accretive nature of recurring cloud revenue.  
 
During 2014, hardware revenues increased $488,000, or 22.8%, over 2013. For AsureSpace™, PeopleCube’s hardware revenue increased $641,000, or 122.7%, from 2013 to $1.2 million and Meeting Room Manager hardware revenue increased $44,000, or 26.8%, to $210,000. AsureForce® hardware revenue decreased $198,000, or 13.7%, over 2013.  ADI and Legiant had $1.2 million and $37,000, respectively, of hardware revenue in 2014. ADI’s hardware revenue decreased $14,000, or 1.2%, from 2013. Legiant’s hardware revenue decreased $156,000, or 80.9%, from 2013.
 
During 2014, maintenance and support revenue slightly decreased to $6.5 million in 2014 from $6.7 million in 2013, a $190,000, or 2.8%, decrease from 2013. PeopleCube, Meeting Room Manager, ADI and Legiant had $2.3 million, $2.1 million, $1.1 million and $913,000, respectively, of maintenance and support revenue in 2014. The majority of the decrease is in AsureSpace™ maintenance and support revenue, which decreased $148,000, or 3.3%, from 2013 to $4.4 million. Meeting Room Manger maintenance and support revenues decreased $107,000 or 4.8%, from 2013 and PeopleCube’s maintenance and support revenue decreased $41,000, or 1.8%, from 2013. AsureForce® maintenance and support revenue decreased $42,000, or 1.9%, from 2013 to $2.1 million. Legiant’s maintenance and support revenues decreased $233,000, or 20.3%, from 2013, offset by an increase in ADI’s maintenance and support revenue, which increased by $172,000, or 17.6%, from 2013.

During 2014, on premise software license revenues decreased $93,000, or 8.5%, as compared to 2013. AsureSpace™ on premise software license revenues increased $111,000, or 20.3% from 2013. While PeopleCube on premise software license revenues remained fairly consistent with 2013, Meeting Room Manger on premise software license revenues increased $99,000, or 70.2%, as compared to 2013. In AsureForce®, the overall decrease was $204,000, or 37.5%, driven primarily from a decrease in ADI on premise software license revenue of $122,000, or 28.9%, and a decrease in Legiant on premise software license revenue of $82,000, or 67.6%, from 2013. We continue to focus our efforts on recurring cloud revenue from our direct customers, as opposed to onetime on premise software license revenue.
 
Professional services revenue increased $686,000, or 25.5%, over 2013. AsureSpace™ professional services revenue increased $527,000, or 23.8%, and AsureForce® professional services revenue increased $159,000, or 33.0%, over 2013.   PeopleCube professional services revenue increased $479,000 or 28.1%, over 2013, while Meeting Room Manager professional services revenue increased slightly by $41,000 or 8.1%, in 2014 as compared to 2013. ADI’s professional services revenue increased $190,000, or 96.3%, as compared to 2013, offset by smaller decreases in Legiant and iEmployee professional service revenue.

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

Table of Contents

In addition to continuing to develop our workforce and workspace management solutions and release new software updates and enhancements, we continue to actively explore other opportunities to acquire additional products or technologies to complement our current software and services. Through acquisitions in 2011 of ADI and Legiant, we expanded our cloud computing time and attendance software and management services business.  The 2012 acquisition of PeopleCube gave us a product line that includes software to assist customers in driving integrated facility management of offices, conference rooms, video conferencing, events and training, alternative workspaces and lobby use. The 2014 acquisitions of FotoPunch and Roomtag support our vision to deliver innovative cloud-based workplace technologies.

Gross Margin

Consolidated gross margin was $21.0 million in 2014 and $19.0 million in 2013, an increase of $1.8 million, or 9.7%.  Gross margin as a percentage of revenues was 76.8% for 2014 and 74.8% for 2013. We attribute the increase in gross margin to a continued shift in revenue mix toward higher margin items, such as cloud revenue and professional services revenue.

Consolidated cost of sales decreased $111,000, or 1.7%, from 2013. Our cost of sales relates primarily to direct product costs, compensation and related consulting expenses, hardware expenses and the amortization of our purchased software development costs.  These expenses represented approximately 82% of the total cost of sales for both 2014 and 2013. These expenses slightly decreased by approximately $83,000, or 1.6%, over 2013. This decrease is comprised of a decrease in direct product costs of approximately $111,000, or 5.3%, and a decrease in salary expense of $43,000, or 1.7%. This was offset by an increase in equipment expenses of $56,000, or 53.2%, and an increase in depreciation and amortization of $16,000, or 2.8%, over 2013. We include intangible amortization related to developed and acquired technology within cost of sales.

During 2015, we expect to continue proactively managing our cost of sales by maximizing efficiencies throughout our company.  

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses were $14.0 million in 2014 and $13.3 million in 2013, an increase of $747,000, or 5.6%.  SG&A expenses as a percentage of revenues were 51.5% and 52.0% for 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Sales and marketing expenses increased $869,000, or 14.1%, and general and administrative expenses decreased $122,000, or 1.7%, over 2013. The increase in sales and marketing expenses is due to increased sales and marketing efforts, including lead generation and other marketing expenses, as well as higher sales compensation as a result of higher revenues. General and administrative expenses included $137,000 in severance expense related to PeopleCube in 2013 that were not present in 2014.

We will incur significant additional legal expenses and/or professional services-related expenses in the future if we pursue further acquisitions of products or businesses, even if we ultimately do not consummate any acquisition.
 
Research and Development Expenses

Research and development (“R&D”) expenses were $3.3 million in 2014 and $2.8 million in 2013, an increase of $475,000 or 16.8%.  R&D expenses as a percentage of revenues were 12.2% and 11.1% for 2014 and 2013, respectively.

The $475,000 increase is due to an increase in headcount and the related placement fees, as well as severance expense for an employee recorded in the second quarter of 2014. These increases reflect our commitment to expand and enhance our industry leading tools and technology.

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

Additionally, we continue to develop AsureForce Time and released a new version in December 2014. This release is the culmination of more than 500 development hours and provides more than 100 fixes and solutions.  The new version includes Single Sign-on functionality, allowing users to sign into multiple applications at once by using our integration with OneLogin; an all new advanced scheduling module called Visual Scheduling, which allows authorized users to easily schedule large groups of employees with “excel-like” copy/paste functionality; and extensive API and configuration updates.

Table of Contents

We also focused development resources on two main product lines, Resource Scheduler (“RS”) and Meeting Room Manager (“MRM”).  RS version 10 was released in September of 2014 and included over 700 development and Quality Assurance hours.  This release featured support for double-byte characters sets, a bi-directional integration with Cisco TMS video conference systems, and a new connector supporting integrations with Microsoft Lync.

MRM had several maintenance releases in 2014. Development for MRM v11 commenced in the fourth quarter of 2014 and will be available in 2015.

Asure also put resources towards the development of NowSpace, an industry-leading mobile application for iOS devices, and will release Android compatibility in 2015.  NowSpace allows users to create reservations and send invitations directly from their mobile device.  NowSpace also gives visibility to attendee free/busy schedules which is a first in mobile calendaring applications.  NowSpace is compatible with both Resource Scheduler and Meeting Room Manager.  

Our development efforts for future releases and enhancements are driven by feedback received from our existing and potential customers and by gauging market trends. We believe we have the appropriate development team to design and further improve our workforce management solutions.
 
Amortization of Intangible Assets

Amortization expenses in 2014 were $2.0 million, a decrease of $181,000, or 8.3%, as compared to $2.2 million in 2013.  Amortization expenses as a percentage of revenues were 7.3% and 8.6% for 2014 and 2013, respectively.  This decrease is the result of some of PeopleCube’s intangible assets being sold in the third quarter of 2013 and others becoming fully amortized.
 
Other Loss

Other Loss was $1.7 million for the year ended 2014 as compared to $2.3 million in the year ended 2013.  Other Loss in 2014 and 2013 is primarily comprised of interest expense and amortization of original issue discount from acquisition-related debt. Other loss in 2014 also contains a loss on debt refinancing of $1,402, offset by a gain on the settlement of the PeopleCube litigation of $1,034. Interest expense on notes payable was $1,274 and amortization of original issue discount (“OID”) on notes payable was $72 as compared to interest expense on notes payable of $1,943 and amortization of OID of $481 in 2013.

Income Taxes

At December 31, 2014, we had federal net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $116.6 million, Federal R&D credit carryforwards of approximately $5.0 million and alternative minimum tax credit carryforwards of approximately $161,000. The net operating loss and Federal R&D credit carryforwards will expire in varying amounts from 2018 through 2034, if not utilized. Minimum tax credit carryforwards carry forward indefinitely.
 
Income tax expense remained flat at $117,000 in 2014 and 2013. These figures represent an effective tax rate of 80.7% and 7.6% in 2014 and 2013, respectively. The 2014 income tax expense is primarily due to deferred taxes on the amortization of goodwill for tax purposes and the results of foreign operations.
 
As a result of our various acquisitions in prior years, utilization of the net operating losses and credit carryforwards may be subject to a substantial annual limitation due to the “change in ownership” provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. The annual limitation may result in the expiration of net operating losses before utilization.

Due to the uncertainty surrounding the timing of realizing the benefits of our favorable tax attributes in future tax returns, we have placed a valuation allowance against our net deferred tax asset, exclusive of goodwill. During 2014, we increased the valuation allowance by approximately $563,000 due primarily to operations, including expiration of tax carryforwards.  Approximately $8.3 million of the valuation allowance relates to tax benefits for stock option deductions included in our net operating loss carryforward which we will allocate, if and when realized, directly to contributed capital to the extent the benefits exceed amounts attributable to book deferred compensation expense.

We consider the undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries permanently reinvested and, accordingly, we have not provided for U.S. federal or state income taxes thereon.

Net Loss

Net loss was $262,000 in 2014. Net loss was $1.7 million in 2013.  The decrease in net loss was $1.4 million, or 84.2%.  Net loss as a percentage of total revenues was 1.0% and 6.5% in 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Working Capital.  We had a working capital deficit of $7.3 million at December 31, 2014, a decrease in our deficit of $523,000 from the $7.8 million deficit at December 31, 2013.  The working capital deficit at December 31, 2014 includes $10.6 million of deferred revenue.  Deferred revenue is an obligation to perform future services.  We expect that deferred revenue will convert to future revenue as we perform our services, but this does not represent future payments. Deferred revenue can vary based on seasonality, expiration of initial multi-year contracts and deals that are billed after implementation rather than in advance of service delivery. We attribute the decrease in our working capital deficit to an increase in accounts receivable of $1.4 million together with a decrease in the current portion of notes payable of $3.6 million and a decrease in accounts payable of $136,000. This is offset by a decrease in cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash of $3.6 million and an increase in the current portion of deferred revenue of $582,000 in 2014 compared to 2013. Cash and cash equivalents and current notes payable decreased primarily due to the payoff of the Deerpath note and the payoff of the PeopleCube note (through the settlement of the litigation), offset by the new term note with Wells Fargo in the first quarter of 2014.
 
Operating Activities.  Cash provided by operating activities was $2.7 million in 2014 and $2.0 million in 2013. The $2.7 million of cash provided by operating activities during 2014 was primarily driven by net income (after adjustment for non-cash items) of $3.3 million and the release of restricted cash of $400,000, offset by an increase in accounts receivable of $1.4 million.   The $2.0 million of cash provided by operating activities during 2013 was primarily driven by growth in deferred revenue of $928,000 and net income (after adjustment for non-cash items) of $1.7 million.
 
Investing Activities.  Cash used in investing activities during 2014 was $4.2 million.  The cash used in investing activities in 2014 was primarily comprised of acquisitions of FotoPunch and Roomtag, net of cash acquired, of $3.4 million and purchases of $807,000 of property and equipment.  Cash used in investing activities during 2013 was $435,000. The cash used in investing activities in 2013 was primarily comprised of purchases of $383,000 of property and equipment and purchases of intangible assets of $62,000. Although we believe our current operations are not capital intensive, we anticipate approximately $800,000 of 2015 capital expenditures to upgrade our infrastructure and position it for future growth.
 
Financing Activities.  Cash used in financing activities during 2014 was $2.1 million. We borrowed $18.2 million, offset by note payable payments, payments on amendment of senior notes payable and debt financing fees of $20.6 million (see Recent Developments and Note 6 – Notes Payable of the accompanying financial statements). This was offset by insurance proceeds received for settlement of a notes payable dispute, net of expenses, of $372,000. Cash provided by financing activities during 2013 was $170,000. In 2013, we borrowed $4.0 million, as well as received $3.4 million in cash from stock issuances, offset by note payable payments of $6.9 million.
 
Sources of Liquidity.  As of December 31, 2014, Asure’s principal sources of liquidity consisted of approximately $320,000 of cash and cash equivalents, future cash generated from operations and $395,000 available for borrowing under our Wells Fargo revolver discussed in Note 6 – Notes Payable of the accompanying financial statements. We believe that we have and/or will generate sufficient cash for our short- and long-term needs. Based on current internal projections, we believe that we have and/or will generate sufficient cash for our operational needs, including any required debt payments, for at least the next twelve months. We currently project that we can generate positive cash flows from our operating activities for at least the next twelve months.

Our management team is focused on growing our existing software operations and is also seeking additional strategic acquisitions for the near future. At present, we plan to fund any future acquisition with equity, existing cash and cash equivalents cash generated from future operations and/or cash or debt raised from outside sources. As discussed in Note 4 – Acquisitions of the accompanying financial statements, we acquired all of the outstanding common stock of FotoPunch in July 2014 and substantially all the assets of Roomtag in August 2014.

Debt Matters

In February 2014, we reached an agreement to settle all claims and dismiss all pending litigation with PeopleCube Holding B.V. and Meeting Maker Holding B.V., the sellers of the capital stock of Meeting Maker – United States, Inc. (dba PeopleCube) that we purchased in July 2012.
 
Under the settlement agreement, the parties dismissed the litigation and we settled the remaining balance due of $2.5 million on the Subordinated Notes Payable: PeopleCube Acquisition Note by paying $1.7 million. Our insurance carrier agreed to pay us $500,000 in conjunction with the settlement. With the insurance proceeds and after offsetting any related litigation costs incurred in 2014, we recorded a net gain of $1.0 million on the settlement in the first quarter of 2014. We paid this note in full in 2014.
 
In March 2014, we entered into a Credit Agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and the lenders that are party thereto. The Credit Agreement provides for a term loan in the amount of $15.0 million. The term loan will mature in March 2019. The outstanding principal amount of the term loan is payable follows:

  	$187,500 on June 30, 2014 and the last day of each fiscal quarter thereafter up to March 31, 2016;	

  	$281,250 on June 30, 2016 and the last day of each fiscal quarter thereafter up to March 31, 2017; and	

  	$375,000 on June 30, 2017 and the last day of each fiscal quarter thereafter.	
 
In March 2014, we used the proceeds of the term loan to finance the repayment of all amounts outstanding under our loan agreement with Deerpath and the payment of certain fees, costs and expenses related to the Credit Agreement.  The Deerpath loan bore interest at a floating annual rate equal to LIBOR plus 8.0%, subject to a LIBOR floor of 9.5%, or a minimum of 11.5%. We incurred a one-time charge in the first quarter of 2014, of approximately $1.4 million in connection with the refinancing, of which approximately $700,000 was non-cash deferred financing costs.
 
The Credit Agreement also provides for a revolving loan commitment in the aggregate amount of up to $3.0 million. The outstanding principal amount of the revolving loan is due and payable in March 2019. Additionally, the Credit Agreement provides for a $10.0 million uncommitted incremental term loan facility to support permitted acquisitions.
 
The term loan and revolving loan will bear interest, at our option, at (i) the greater of 1% or LIBOR, plus an applicable margin or (ii) a base rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus an applicable margin.  We have elected to use the LIBOR rate plus the applicable margin, which is 5% for the first nine months ended December 31, 2014. Interest is payable monthly and the margin varies based upon our leverage ratio. See table below of applicable margin rates.
 
Total Leverage Ratio	Base Rate Margin	LIBOR Rate Margin	
> 2.75:1.0	3.00%	4.00%	
< 2.75:1.0 but > 2.25:1	2.50%	3.50%	
< 2.25:1	2.00%	3.00%	
 
We may voluntarily prepay the principal amount outstanding under the revolving loan at any time without penalty.  We must pay a premium if we make a voluntary prepayment of outstanding principal under the term loan during the first two years following the closing date or if we are required to prepay outstanding principal under the Credit Agreement with proceeds resulting from certain asset sales or debt incurrence. The premium is 1% or 0.5% of the principal amount being prepaid depending on whether the prepayment occurs on or before the first anniversary of the closing date or subsequent to the first anniversary date through the second anniversary of the closing date. In addition, we are required to repay outstanding principal with 50% of excess cash flow, certain over advances, asset sale proceeds, debt proceeds, and proceeds from judgments and settlements.
 
Under the Credit Agreement, we are required to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.5 to 1.0 beginning with the quarter ending June 30, 2014 and each calendar quarter thereafter, and a leverage ratio of not greater than 3.5 to 1.0 beginning with the quarter ending June 30, 2014 with the levels stepping down thereafter. The Credit Agreement was amended in August 2014 to revise the leverage ratio beginning with the quarter ending September 30, 2014 to a leverage ratio of not greater than 3.6 to 1.0 with the levels stepping down thereafter.  The Credit Agreement was amended in March 2015 to authorize us to optionally prepay, subject to specified conditions, the Subordinated Note Payable to Roomtag and to revise the leverage ratio beginning with the quarter ended March 31, 2015 to a leverage ratio of not greater than 3.5 to 1.0 with the levels stepping down thereafter.

The Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including, among others, limitations with respect to debt, liens, fundamental changes, sale of assets, prepayment of debt, investments, dividends, and transactions with affiliates.

Table of Contents

We were in compliance with the covenant requirements as of December 31, 2014 and expect to be in compliance or be able to obtain compliance through debt repayments with the available cash on hand or as expected to be generated from operations over the subsequent twelve month period.

The Credit Agreement contains customary events of default, including, among others, payment defaults, covenant defaults, judgment defaults, bankruptcy and insolvency events, cross defaults to certain indebtedness, incorrect representations or warranties, and change of control. In some cases, the defaults are subject to customary notice and grace period provisions.
 
In March 2014 and in connection with the Credit Agreement, we and our wholly-owned active subsidiaries entered into a Guaranty and Security Agreement with Wells Fargo Bank. Under the Guaranty and Security Agreement, we and each of our wholly-owned active subsidiaries have guaranteed all obligations under the Credit Agreement and granted a security interest in substantially all of our and our subsidiaries’ assets.
 
See Note 6 - Note Payable in the accompanying financial statements for more information about the Credit Agreement and Guaranty and Security Agreement.
 
We cannot assure that we can grow our cash balances or limit our cash consumption and thus maintain sufficient cash balances for our planned operations or future acquisitions. Future business demands may lead to cash utilization at levels greater than recently experienced. We may need to raise additional capital in the future. However, we cannot assure that we will be able to raise additional capital on acceptable terms, or at all. Subject to the foregoing, management believes that we have sufficient capital and liquidity to fund and cultivate the growth of our current and future operations for at least the next twelve months and to maintain compliance with the terms of our debt agreements and related covenants or to obtain compliance through debt repayments made with the available cash on hand or anticipated for receipt in the ordinary course of operations.
  
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
We have prepared our consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and including the accounts of Asure’s wholly owned subsidiaries. We have eliminated all significant intercompany transactions and balances in the consolidation. Preparation of the 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, lease impairment, useful lives of fixed assets, the determination of the fair value of our 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 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. 

We believe the following are our critical accounting policies:
 
Revenue Recognition
 
Our revenues consist of software-as-a-service (“SaaS”) offerings, time-based software subscriptions, and perpetual software license sale arrangements that also, typically, include hardware, maintenance/support and professional services elements.  We recognize revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable and collectability is probable.      Software and software-related elements are recognized in accordance   with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”)   985-605  Software Revenue Recognition .    Non-software revenue elements are recognized in accordance with ASC 605-25  Revenue Recognition Multiple-Element Arrangements.   Since we currently offer our software solutions under either a perpetual license, time-based subscription or SaaS model, revenue recognition timing varies based on which form of software rights the customer purchases.
 
SaaS arrangements and time-based software subscriptions typically have an initial term ranging from one to three years and are renewable on an annual basis.  A typical SaaS arrangement will also include hardware, setup and implementation services. We allocate the value of the SaaS arrangement to each separate unit of accounting based on vendor-specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) of selling price, when it exists, third-party evidence of selling price for like services or best estimated selling price.  Revenue allocated to the SaaS/software subscription element is recognized ratably over the non-cancellable term of the SaaS/subscription service. Revenue allocated to other units of accounting included in the arrangement are recognized as outlined in the paragraphs below.

18

Table of Contents
 
Perpetual software licenses are typically sold in multiple-element arrangements that include hardware, maintenance/support and professional services.  Software license revenues, determined under the residual method, are generally recognized on the date the product is delivered to the customer if VSOE of fair value exists for all undelivered elements of the software arrangement.  If VSOE of fair value does not exist for an undelivered element, the entire software arrangement is deferred and recognized ratably, over the remaining non-cancellable maintenance term after all other undelivered elements have been delivered. We base VSOE of fair value for our maintenance, training and installation services on the prices charged for these services when sold separately.  Revenue allocated to hardware, maintenance and services elements included in the arrangement are recognized as outlined below.
 
Hardware devices sold to customers (typically time clock, LCD panel and other peripheral devices) are not essential to the functionality of the software and as such are treated as non-software elements for revenue recognition purposes.  Hardware revenue is recognized when title passes to the customer, typically the date the hardware is shipped.  If hardware is sold under a HaaS arrangement, title to the hardware remains with Asure and hardware usage revenue is recognized ratably over the non-cancellable term of the hardware service delivery, typically one year.
 
Our professional services offerings which typically include data migration, set up, training, and implementation services are also not essential to the functionality of our products, as third parties or customers themselves can perform these services.  Set up and implementation services typically occur at the start of the software arrangement while certain other professional services, depending on the nature of the services and customer requirements, may occur several months later.  Professional services performed for a fixed fee can be reasonably estimated and are recognized on a proportional performance basis. Revenue for professional services engagements billed on a time and materials basis are recognized as the services are delivered.  Revenues on all other professional services engagements are recognized upon the earlier of the completion of the services deliverable or the expiration of the customer’s right to receive the service.
 
Maintenance/support revenues are recognized ratably over the non-cancellable term of the support agreement.  Initial maintenance/support terms are typically one to three years and are renewable on an annual basis.
 
We do not recognize revenue for agreements with rights of return, refundable fees, cancellation rights or substantive acceptance clauses until these return, refund or cancellation rights have expired or acceptance has occurred.  Our arrangements with resellers do not allow for any rights of return.
 
Deferred revenue includes amounts received from customers in excess of revenue recognized, and is comprised of deferred maintenance, service and other revenue.  We recognize deferred revenues when we complete the service and over the terms of the arrangements, primarily ranging from one to three years.
 
Intangible Assets and Goodwill

We record the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations at their respective fair values at the date of acquisition, with any excess purchase price recorded as goodwill. Valuation of intangible assets and in-process research and development entails significant estimates and assumptions including, but not limited to, estimating future cash flows from product sales, developing appropriate discount rates, estimating probability rates for the continuation of customer relationships and renewal of customer contracts and approximating the useful lives of the intangible assets acquired. U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) require that we not amortize intangible assets other than goodwill with an indefinite life until we determine their life as finite.  We must amortize all other intangible assets over their useful lives. We currently amortize our acquired intangible assets with definite lives over periods ranging from one to nine years.

Impairment of Intangible Assets and Long-Lived Assets
 
In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 350, we review and evaluate our long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that we may not recover their net book value.  When such factors and circumstances exist, including those noted above, we compare the assets’ carrying amounts against the estimated undiscounted cash flows we expect to generate with those assets over their estimated useful lives.  If the carrying amounts are greater than the undiscounted cash flows, we estimate the fair values of those assets by discounting the projected cash flows.  We record any excess of the carrying amounts over the fair values as impairments in that fiscal period. There has been no impairment of intangible assets and long-lived assets for the periods presented.
 
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price in a business combination over the fair value of net tangible and intangible assets acquired in a business combination. We test goodwill for impairment on an annual basis in the fourth fiscal quarter of each year, and between annual tests if indicators of potential impairment exist, using a fair-value-based approach. There has been no impairment of goodwill for the periods presented. See Notes 4 and 5 in the accompanying financial statements for additional information regarding goodwill.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2013, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2013-11 (ASU 2013-11), which updated the guidance in ASC Topic 740,  Income Taxes.  The amendments in ASU 2013-11 generally provide guidance for the presentation of unrecognized tax benefits when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists at the reporting date. The guidance requires an unrecognized tax benefit to be presented as a decrease in a deferred tax asset where a net operating loss, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists and certain criteria are met. This guidance became effective for us as of January 1, 2014 and is consistent with our present practice.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This new standard will replace the current U.S. GAAP guidance on revenue recognition and eliminate all industry-specific guidance. The new revenue recognition standard provides a unified model to determine when and how revenue is recognized. The core principle is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration for which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. We will adopt this standard effective January 1, 2017, as required. The standard can be applied either retrospectively to each period presented or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. We are evaluating the impact of adopting this new standard on our financial statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
The Board of Directors and Shareholders of Asure Software, Inc.
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Asure Software, Inc. as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive loss, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2014. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Asure Software, Inc. at December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2014, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

ASURE SOFTWARE, INC.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Amounts in thousands, except share and per share data or otherwise noted)

NOTE 1 - THE COMPANY

Asure Software, Inc., a Delaware corporation incorporated in 1985, is a provider of cloud-based software-as-a-service (“SaaS”) time and labor management and workspace management solutions that enable organizations to manage their office environments, as well as their human resource and payroll processes effectively and efficiently. Asure develops, markets, sells and supports its offerings worldwide through its principal office in Austin, Texas, and through additional offices in Warwick, Rhode Island; Framingham, Massachusetts; Traverse City, Michigan and Staines, United Kingdom.

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Asure has prepared its consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and has included the accounts of its wholly owned subsidiaries. We have eliminated all significant intercompany transactions and balances in consolidation. Asure has made certain reclassifications to the prior year’s financial statements to conform to the current year presentation.
 
SEGMENTS

The chief operating decision maker is Asure’s Chief Executive Officer who reviews financial information presented on a company-wide basis.  Accordingly, in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 280, Asure determined that it has a single reporting segment and operating unit structure.

USE OF ESTIMATES

Preparation of the 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 the gross deferred tax assets, lease impairment, useful lives of fixed assets, the determination of the fair value of its long-lived assets, and the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed during acquisitions. Asure bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions its management believes 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 the financial statements for continued reasonableness. Asure makes appropriate adjustments, if any, to the estimates used prospectively based upon such periodic evaluation.

CONTINGENCIES

In February 2014, we reached an agreement to settle all claims and dismiss all pending litigation with PeopleCube Holding B.V. and Meeting Maker Holding B.V., the sellers of the capital stock of Meeting Maker – United States, Inc. (dba PeopleCube) that we purchased in July 2012.
 
Under the settlement agreement, the parties agreed to dismiss the litigation and we settled the remaining balance due by us of $2,460 on the Subordinated Notes Payable: PeopleCube Acquisition Note for $1,700. Separately, our insurance carrier agreed to pay us $500 in conjunction with the settlement.  With the insurance proceeds and after offsetting any related litigation and other settlement costs incurred in 2014 of $226, we recorded a net gain of $1,034 on the settlement in the first quarter of 2014.  We paid this note in full in the first quarter of 2014. Finally, as part of the original purchase price in the Meeting Maker acquisition, we issued 255,000 shares of our common stock subject to a lockup expiring as to 125,000 shares in June 2013 and 130,000 shares in June 2014.  This settlement also removed the lockup for the remaining 130,000 shares.

Although Asure has been the defendant or plaintiff in various actions that arose in the normal course of business, as of December 31, 2014, we are not party to any pending legal proceedings.

LIQUIDITY
 
As of December 31, 2014, Asure’s principal sources of liquidity consisted of approximately $320 of cash and cash equivalents, future cash generated from operations and $395 available for borrowing under our Wells Fargo revolver discussed in Note 6 – Notes Payable.  Cash and cash equivalents were $3,938 at December 31, 2013. The Credit Agreement was amended in March 2015 to authorize us to optionally prepay, subject to specified conditions, the Subordinated Note Payable to Roomtag and to revise the leverage ratio beginning with the quarter ended March 31, 2015 to a leverage ratio of not greater than 3.5 to 1.0 with the levels stepping down thereafter. We were in compliance with the covenant requirements as of December 31, 2014 and expect to be in compliance or be able to obtain compliance through debt repayments with the available cash on hand or as expected to be generated from operations over the subsequent twelve month period.  We believe that we have and/or will generate sufficient cash for our short- and long-term needs, including meeting the requirements of our Term Loan, and the related debt covenant requirements. Based on current internal projections, we believe that we have and/or will generate sufficient cash for our operational needs, including any required debt payments, for at least the next twelve months.

Management is focused on growing our existing product offering, as well as our customer base, to increase our recurring revenues. We have made and will continue to explore additional strategic acquisitions. In July 2014, we acquired all of the outstanding common stock of FotoPunch, Inc. and in August 2014, we acquired substantially all the assets of Roomtag, LLC. We expect to fund any future acquisitions with equity, available cash, future cash from operations, or debt from outside sources.  

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

Cash and cash equivalents include cash deposits and highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased.
 
RESTRICTED CASH
 
Restricted cash represented a certificate of deposit held in a cash collateral account as required by JPMorgan Chase Bank N.A. (“Bank”), to secure our obligations under our credit card obligations with the Bank. As of December 31, 2014, there is no restricted cash.
 
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

We apply the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements for financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, and non-financial assets and liabilities such as goodwill, intangible assets and property and equipment that are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis.

CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

We grant credit to customers in the ordinary course of business. We limit concentrations of credit risk related to our trade accounts receivable due to our large number of customers, including third-party resellers, and their dispersion across several industries and geographic areas. We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers and maintain reserves for potential credit losses. We require advanced payments or secured transactions when deemed necessary.
 
Asure reviews potential customers’ credit ratings to evaluate customers’ ability to pay an obligation within the payment term, which is usually net thirty days.  If we receive reasonable assurance of payment and know of no barriers to legally enforce the payment obligation, we may extend credit to customers. We place accounts on “Credit Hold” if a placed order exceeds the credit limit or sooner if circumstances warrant.  We follow our credit policy consistently and routinely monitor our delinquent accounts for indications of uncollectability.

ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS

Asure maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts at an amount we estimate to be sufficient to provide adequate protection against losses resulting from extending credit to our customers.  We base this allowance, in the aggregate, on historical collection experience, age of receivables and general economic conditions. The allowance for doubtful accounts also considers the need for specific customer reserves based on the customer’s payment experience, credit-worthiness and age of receivable balances.  Asure’s bad debts have not been material and have been within management expectations.  

The following table summarizes the annual changes in our allowance for doubtful accounts:
 
Balance at December 31, 2012	 	$	182	 	
Provision for doubtful accounts receivable	 	 	37	 	
Write-off of uncollectible accounts receivable	 	 	(51	)	
Balance at December 31, 2013	 	$	168	 	
Provision for doubtful accounts receivable	 	 	48	 	
Write-off of uncollectible accounts receivable	 	 	             (96	) 	
Balance at December 31, 2014	 	$	120	 	
 
INVENTORY
 
Inventory consists of finished goods and is stated at the lower of cost or market, using the first-in, first-out method. Inventory includes purchased LCD panels and a full range of biometric and card recognition clocks that we sell as part of our workforce and workspace management solutions.  We routinely assess our on-hand inventory for timely identification and measurement of obsolete, slow-moving or otherwise impaired inventory.
 
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

We record property and equipment, including software, furniture and equipment, at cost less accumulated depreciation. We record depreciation using the straight-line method over the estimated economic useful lives of the assets, which range from two to five years.  Property and equipment also includes leasehold improvements and capital leases which we record at cost less accumulated amortization.  We record amortization of leasehold improvements and capital leases using the straight-line method over the shorter of the lease term or over the life of the respective assets, as applicable. We recognize gains or losses related to retirements or disposition of fixed assets in the period incurred. We expense repair and maintenance costs as incurred. We periodically review the estimated economic useful lives of our property and equipment and make adjustments, if necessary, according to the latest information available.

BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

Asure has accounted for our acquisitions using the acquisition method of accounting based on ASC 805—Business Combinations , which requires recognition and measurement of all identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their full fair value as of the date we obtain control. We have determined the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon our estimates of the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the acquisitions. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired. While we have used our best estimates and assumptions to measure the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date, our estimates are inherently uncertain and subject to refinement. As a result, during the measurement period, not to exceed one year from the date of acquisition, any changes in the estimated fair values of the net assets recorded for the acquisitions will result in an adjustment to goodwill. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period or final determination of the values of assets acquired or liabilities assumed, whichever comes first, we record any subsequent adjustments to our consolidated statements of comprehensive loss.

GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price in a business combination over the fair value of net tangible and intangible assets acquired in a business combination. We test goodwill for impairment on an annual basis in the fourth fiscal quarter of each year, and between annual tests if indicators of potential impairment exist, using a fair-value-based approach. There has been no impairment of goodwill for the periods presented. See Notes 4 and 5 for additional information regarding goodwill. We amortize intangible assets not considered to have an indefinite useful life using the straight-line method over their useful lives. We currently amortize our acquired intangible assets with definite lives over periods ranging from one to nine years. Each reporting period, we evaluate the estimated remaining useful life of intangible assets and assess whether events or changes in circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining period of amortization or indicate that impairment exists. We have not identified any impairments of finite-lived intangible assets during any of the periods presented. See Note 5 – Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets for additional information regarding intangible assets.
 
IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

In accordance with ASC 350, Asure reviews and evaluates our long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that we may not recover their net book value.  When such factors and circumstances exist, we compare the assets’ carrying amounts against the estimated undiscounted cash flows to be generated by those assets over their estimated useful lives.  If the carrying amounts are greater than the undiscounted cash flows, we estimate the fair values of those assets by discounting the projected cash flows.  We record any excess of the carrying amounts over the fair values as impairments in that fiscal period.  We have identified no impairment of long-lived assets during any of the periods presented.
  
ORIGINAL ISSUE DISCOUNTS

We recognize original issue discounts, when incurred on the issuance of debt, as a reduction of the current loan obligations that we amortize to interest expense over the life of the related indebtedness using the effective interest rate method. We record the amortization as interest expense – amortization of OID in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss. At the time of any repurchases or retirements of related debt, we will write off the remaining amount of net original issue discounts and include them in the calculation of gain/(loss) on retirement in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss.
 
REVENUE RECOGNITION

Our revenues consist of software-as-a-service (“SaaS”) offerings, time-based software subscriptions, and perpetual software license sale arrangements that also, typically, include hardware, maintenance/support and professional services elements.  We recognize revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable and collectability is probable.      Software and software-related elements are recognized in accordance   with ASC   985-605  Software Revenue Recognition .    Non-software revenue elements are recognized in accordance with ASC 605-25 Revenue Recognition Multiple-Element Arrangements.   Since we currently offer our software solutions under either a perpetual license, time-based subscription or SaaS model, revenue recognition timing varies based on which form of software rights the customer purchases.
 
SaaS arrangements and time-based software subscriptions typically have an initial term ranging from one to three years and are renewable on an annual basis.  A typical SaaS arrangement will also include hardware, setup and implementation services. We allocate the value of the SaaS arrangement to each separate unit of accounting based on vendor-specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) of selling price, when it exists, third-party evidence of selling price for like services or best estimated selling price.  Revenue allocated to the SaaS/software subscription element is recognized ratably over the non-cancellable term of the SaaS/subscription service. Revenue allocated to other units of accounting included in the arrangement are recognized as outlined in the paragraphs below.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Amounts in thousands, except share and per share data or otherwise noted)

Perpetual software licenses are typically sold in multiple-element arrangements that include hardware, maintenance/support and professional services.  Software license revenues, determined under the residual method, are generally recognized on the date the product is delivered to the customer if VSOE of fair value exists for all undelivered elements of the software arrangement.  If VSOE of fair value does not exist for an undelivered element, the entire software arrangement is deferred and recognized ratably, over the remaining non-cancellable maintenance term after all other undelivered elements have been delivered. We base VSOE of fair value for our maintenance, training and installation services on the prices charged for these services when sold separately.  Revenue allocated to hardware, maintenance and services elements included in the arrangement are recognized as outlined below.
 
Hardware devices sold to customers (typically time clock, LCD panel and other peripheral devices) are not essential to the functionality of the software and as such are treated as non-software elements for revenue recognition purposes.  Hardware revenue is recognized when title passes to the customer, typically the date the hardware is shipped.  If hardware is sold under a HaaS arrangement, title to the hardware remains with Asure and hardware usage revenue is recognized ratably over the non-cancellable term of the hardware service delivery, typically one year.
 
Our professional services offerings which typically include data migration, set up, training, and implementation services are also not essential to the functionality of our products, as third parties or customers themselves can perform these services.  Set up and implementation services typically occur at the start of the software arrangement while certain other professional services, depending on the nature of the services and customer requirements, may occur several months later.  Professional services performed for a fixed fee can be reasonably estimated and are recognized on a proportional performance basis. Revenue for professional services engagements billed on a time and materials basis are recognized as the services are delivered.  Revenues on all other professional services engagements are recognized upon the earlier of the completion of the services deliverable or the expiration of the customer’s right to receive the service.
 
Maintenance/support revenues are recognized ratably over the non-cancellable term of the support agreement.  Initial maintenance/support terms are typically one to three years and are renewable on an annual basis.
 
We do not recognize revenue for agreements with rights of return, refundable fees, cancellation rights or substantive acceptance clauses until these return, refund or cancellation rights have expired or acceptance has occurred.  Our arrangements with resellers do not allow for any rights of return.
 
Deferred revenue includes amounts received from customers in excess of revenue recognized, and is comprised of deferred maintenance, service and other revenue.  We recognize deferred revenues when we complete the service and over the terms of the arrangements, primarily ranging from one to three years.
 
ADVERTISING COSTS

We expense advertising costs as we incur them.  Advertising expenses were $9 and $0 for 2014 and 2013, respectively. We recorded these expenses as part of sales and marketing expenses on our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss.

 LEASE OBLIGATIONS

Asure recognizes its lease obligations with scheduled rent increases over the term of the lease on a straight-line basis. Accordingly, we charge the total amount of base rentals over the term of our leases to expense on a straight-line method, recording the amount of rental expense in excess of lease payments as a deferred rent liability. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, we had no deferred rent liabilities. We also recognize capital lease obligations and record the underlying assets and liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, Asure had $429 and $399 in capital lease obligations, respectively.
 
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION

We measure the financial statements of our foreign subsidiaries using the local currency as the functional currency. Accordingly, we translate the assets and liabilities of these foreign subsidiaries at current exchange rates at each balance sheet date. We record translation adjustments arising from the translation of net assets located outside of the United States into United States dollars in accumulated other comprehensive loss as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. We translate income and expenses from the foreign subsidiaries using monthly average exchange rates. We include net gains and losses resulting from foreign exchange transactions in other income and expenses, which were not significant in 2014 and 2013.

INCOME TAXES

We account for income taxes using the liability method under ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events included in the financial statements. Under the liability method, we determine deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which we expect the differences to reverse. We reduce deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that we will not realize some component or all of the deferred tax assets.
 
SHARE BASED COMPENSATION
  
We adopted Statement ASC 718 effective August 1, 2005, using the modified prospective application transition method. The modified prospective application method requires that companies recognize compensation expense on stock-based payment awards that are modified, repurchased or cancelled after the effective date.  We estimate the fair value of each award granted from our stock option plans at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. During 2014 and 2013, we granted 190,000 and 216,000 stock options, respectively.

As of December 31, 2014, we expect to recognize $375 of unrecognized compensation costs related to non-vested option grants over the course of the following three years.
 
We issued 12,000 shares of common stock related to exercises of stock options granted from our stock option plans for 2014 and 17,000 shares in 2013.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
 
In July 2013, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-11 (ASU 2013-11), which updated the guidance in ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes. The amendments in ASU 2013-11 generally provide guidance for the presentation of unrecognized tax benefits when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists at the reporting date. The guidance requires an unrecognized tax benefit to be presented as a decrease in a deferred tax asset where a net operating loss, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists and certain criteria are met. This guidance became effective for us as of January 1, 2014 and is consistent with our present practice.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This new standard will replace most current U.S. GAAP guidance on revenue recognition and eliminate all industry-specific guidance. The new revenue recognition standard provides a unified model to determine when and how revenue is recognized. The core principle is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration for which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. We will adopt this standard effective January 1, 2017, as required. The standard can be applied either retrospectively to each period presented or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. We are evaluating the impact of adopting this new standard on our financial statements.

NOTE 3 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

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

ASC 820 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which is based on the reliability of the inputs used in measuring fair values. These tiers include:
 
Level 1: 	Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;	
 
                Level 2: 	Quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active for identical or similar assets or liabilities; and model-driven valuations whose significant inputs are observable; and	
 
                Level 3: 	Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

For our level 2 asset, the fair value is based on information obtained from our third party service provider and approximates carrying value.

The following summarizes quantitative information about Level 3 fair value measurements.

Contingent consideration

In connection with the acquisition of FotoPunch, Inc. (“FotoPunch”) in July 2014, we recorded contingent consideration based upon the expected achievement of certain milestone goals. Any changes to the fair value of contingent consideration due to changes in assumptions used in preparing the valuation model will be recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Loss. There have been no changes in the valuation of the contingent consideration recorded in 2014.

Contingent consideration is valued using a multi-scenario discounted cash flow method. The assumptions used in preparing the discounted cash flow method include estimates for outcomes if milestone goals are achieved and the probability of achieving each outcome. Probabilities were estimated by management and then applied to management’s conservative case forecast, most likely case forecast and optimistic case forecast with the various scenarios. 

 Significant changes in any of the unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of contingent consideration in isolation could result in a significantly lower or higher fair value. A change in projected revenue growth rates would be accompanied by a directionally similar change in fair value.
 
Other Financial Assets and Liabilities
 
Financial assets and liabilities with carrying amounts approximating fair value include cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities.  The carrying amount of these financial assets and liabilities approximates fair value because of their short maturities.

Our line of credit and notes payable, including current portion, as of December 31, 2014, had a carrying value of $15,131.  This carrying value approximates fair value.  The fair value is based on interest rates that are currently available to us for issuance of debt with similar terms and remaining maturities.

NOTE 4 - ACQUISITIONS

2014 Acquisitions

In July 2014, Asure acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock (the “Shares”) of FotoPunch, a Delaware corporation, a cloud-based time and labor solution provider whose photo-based time clock technology transforms any mobile device into a biometric, geo-located time clock. We have been working with FotoPunch since 2012 as a technology partner for our GeoPunch™ solution, which was launched to help customers support a workforce that is increasingly mobile, global and dispersed.

           The aggregate consideration for the Shares consisted of (i) $1,500 in cash, a portion of which was used to pay certain obligations of FotoPunch and (ii) up to an additional $3,000 in post-closing earnout payments. We funded the $1,500 cash payment with proceeds from our credit agreement with Wells Fargo.

The $3,000 earnout is payable over three earnout periods (with the first, second and third periods ending June 30, 2015, June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2018, respectively) based on the FotoPunch operations achieving specified target revenues in an earnout period. At least 75% of the target revenues must be achieved in the first and second earnout periods and at least 50% of the target revenues must be achieved in the third earnout period. The earnout (“contingent consideration”) was recorded in Accrued Expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet with an estimated fair value of $327 at the date of acquisition. The fair value as of December 31, 2014 remained unchanged at $327.

The purchase price was allocated based upon fair value, as follows: net assets of ($1); technology of $440; goodwill of $1,388. The fair value of technology was determined using the income approach.
 
In August 2014, Asure acquired substantially all the assets of Roomtag, LLC (“Roomtag”). The aggregate consideration for the assets consisted of (i) $933 in cash and (ii) an unsecured subordinated promissory note (“Note”) for $754. We funded the $933 cash payment with proceeds from our credit agreement with Wells Fargo. The Note bears interest at an annual rate of 0.36% and is payable on October 31, 2016. We recorded the Note at fair value using a discount rate of 5%, which resulted in an original issue discount of $73, which will accrete up the note to its aggregate principal amount over the course of the life of the loan using the effective interest method. The balance of the Note at December 31, 2014 is $694.
 
The purchase price was allocated based upon fair value, as follows:

Net assets	 	$	(60	)	
Trade Name	 	 	35	 	
Technology	 	 	173

2012 Acquisition

In July 2012, Asure acquired the capital stock of Meeting Maker – United States, Inc., doing business as (“dba”) PeopleCube, for a combination of cash and Asure common stock. The 2012 acquisition of PeopleCube gave Asure a product line that includes software to assist customers in driving integrated facility management of offices, conference rooms, video conferencing, events and training, alternative workspaces and lobby use.

The purchase price was composed of $9,800 in cash, subject to a post-closing working capital adjustment, (ii) 255,000 shares of our common stock, par value $0.01 per share, representing just under five percent of Asure’s outstanding shares and valued at $2.94 per share and (iii) an additional $3,000 note from us due on October 31, 2014, subject to offset of any amounts owed by the seller under the indemnification provisions of the stock purchase agreement. The note was adjusted to a fair value of $2,404 at the date of purchase based on our incremental borrowing rate. We recorded the note at fair value using a discount rate of 10%, which resulted in an original issue discount of $622, which will accrete up the note to its aggregate principal amount over the course of the life of the loan using the effective interest method. Details regarding the financing of the acquisition are described in Note 6 – Notes Payable. Transaction costs for this acquisition were $905 and we expensed them as incurred.

In December 2012, we demanded a purchase price adjustment from PeopleCube Holding B.V. and Meeting Maker Holding B.V., the sellers of the capital stock of Meeting Maker – United States, Inc. (dba PeopleCube) that we purchased in July 2012, based on matters we discovered after closing.  In the third quarter of 2013, we reached an agreement to settle our post-closing working capital adjustment dispute. The parties agreed to a post-closing working capital adjustment due to us of $496, with accrued interest of $44, totaling $540. The parties agreed to reduce the original $3,000 deferred purchase payment by the post-closing adjustment amount of $540. This also had the effect of reducing our long-term debt by a like amount and $496 was deducted from our goodwill balance. The remaining deferred purchase price balance under the Subordinated Notes Payable: PeopleCube Acquisition Note then became $2,460.

In February 2014, we reached an agreement to settle all claims and dismiss all pending litigation with the sellers of PeopleCube. Under the settlement agreement, the parties agreed to dismiss the litigation and settle the remaining balance due of $2,460 on the Subordinated Notes Payable: PeopleCube Acquisition Note for $1,700. Separately, our insurance carrier agreed to pay us $500 in conjunction with the settlement.  With the insurance proceeds and after offsetting any related litigation costs incurred in 2014, we recorded a net gain of $1,034 on the settlement in the first quarter of 2014. We paid this note in full in 2014. Finally, as part of the original purchase price in the Meeting Maker acquisition, we issued 255,000 shares of our common stock subject to a lockup expiring as to 125,000 shares in June 2013 and 130,000 shares in June 2014.  This settlement also removed the lockup for the remaining 130,000 shares.
 
NOTE 5 - GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS
 
Asure accounted for its historical acquisitions in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations.  We recorded the amount exceeding the fair value of net assets acquired at the date of acquisition as goodwill. We recorded intangible assets apart from goodwill if the assets had contractual or other legal rights or if the assets could be separated and sold, transferred, licensed, rented or exchanged. Asure’s goodwill relates to the acquisitions of ADI and Legiant in 2011, the acquisition of PeopleCube in 2012 and the acquisitions of FotoPunch and Roomtag in 2014. 

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

In the third quarter of 2013, we reached an agreement to settle our purchase price post-closing adjustment dispute with the sellers of PeopleCube. The parties agreed to a post-closing adjustment due to us of $496, with accrued interest of $44, totaling $540. The post-closing adjustment of $496 was deducted from our goodwill balance at September 30, 2013.

The following table summarizes the annual changes in our goodwill:
 
Balance at December 31, 2012	 	$	15,525

Amortization expenses recorded in Cost of Sales were $360 and $317 for 2014 and 2013, respectively.

In August 2013, we entered into a purchase agreement to sell certain customer relationships, developed technology and trade names related to certain intangible assets acquired in the purchase of PeopleCube. The selling price for these assets was $140 with a gain recognized of $72.

Subordinated Convertible Notes Payable - 9% Notes

In September 2011, we sold $1,500 of our 9% subordinated convertible notes (“9% Notes”) in a private placement to accredited investors to finance the ADI acquisition. The 9% Notes pay interest on each of March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31, beginning on December 31, 2011, at a rate of 9% per year and matured on September 30, 2014. The 9% Notes are secured by all of our assets, but are subordinated to our obligations under the Term Loan discussed below.
 
In March 2012, we amended the terms of the 9% Notes to eliminate the embedded derivative features resulting in a settlement or extinguishment of the derivative liability. Under the terms of the amendment, each holder of 9% Notes was permitted to convert the outstanding principal balance due there under into shares of our common stock at the conversion price originally set forth in the 9% Notes ($5.00 per share of common stock) on or before March 15, 2012.   Holders of approximately $1,400 of the total $1,500 of principal amount of 9% Notes converted their 9% Notes to common stock. The 9% Notes matured September 30, 2014. At December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we had $0 and $238 outstanding, respectively, under the 9% Notes.
 
Subordinated Notes Payable: PeopleCube Acquisition Note

In July 2012, we issued a $3,000 Note to the seller in the PeopleCube stock acquisition. The note was due October 31, 2014, subject to offset of any amounts owed by the seller to us under the indemnification provisions of the stock purchase agreement. We recorded the note at fair value using a discount rate of 10%, which resulted in an original issue discount of $622, which will accrete up the note to its aggregate principal amount over the course of the life of the loan using the effective interest method.

In the third quarter of 2013, we reached an agreement to settle our post-closing working capital adjustment dispute with PeopleCube Holding B.V. and Meeting Maker Holding B.V., the sellers of the capital stock of Meeting Maker – United States, Inc. (dba PeopleCube). The parties agreed to a post-closing adjustment due to us of $496, with accrued interest of $44, totaling $540. The parties agreed to reduce the original $3,000 deferred purchase payment by the post-closing adjustment amount of $540. This also had the effect of reducing our note by a like amount. The remaining deferred purchase price balance under the Subordinated Notes Payable: PeopleCube Acquisition Note became $2,460.

In February 2014, we reached an agreement to settle all claims and dismiss all pending litigation with PeopleCube Holding B.V. and Meeting Maker Holding B.V., the sellers of the capital stock of Meeting Maker – United States, Inc. (dba PeopleCube). Under the settlement agreement, the parties agreed to dismiss the litigation and we settled the remaining balance due by us of $2,460 on the Subordinated Notes Payable: PeopleCube Acquisition Note for $1,700. Separately, our insurance carrier agreed to pay us $500 in conjunction with the settlement.  With the insurance proceeds and after offsetting any related litigation costs incurred in 2014, we recorded a net gain of $1,034 on the settlement in the first quarter of 2014.  We paid this note in full in the first quarter of 2014. Finally, as part of the original purchase price in the Meeting Maker acquisition, we issued 255,000 shares of our common stock subject to a lockup expiring as to 125,000 shares in June 2013 and 130,000 shares in June 2014.  This settlement also removed the lockup for the remaining 130,000 shares.

Subordinated Notes Payable: Roomtag Acquisition Note

In August 2014, we acquired substantially all the assets of Roomtag. The aggregate consideration for the assets consisted of (i) $933 in cash, and (ii) an unsecured subordinated promissory note (“Note”) for $754. We funded the $933 cash payment with proceeds from our credit agreement with Wells Fargo. The Note bears interest at an annual rate of 0.36% and is payable on October 31, 2016. We recorded the Note at fair value using a discount rate of 5%, which resulted in an original issue discount of $73, which will accrete up the note to its aggregate principal amount over the course of the life of the loan using the effective interest method. This Note is subordinated to our obligations under the Term Loan discussed below.

Senior Note Payable
 
In July 2012, we and our wholly-owned subsidiaries entered into a loan agreement with Deerpath Funding, LP, a Delaware limited partnership, as lender, administrative agent and collateral agent (“Deerpath”). Under the loan agreement, we borrowed $14,500 to (i) finance the cash purchase consideration for the acquisition of PeopleCube, (ii) pay outstanding indebtedness under the 15% Notes (including partial interest and subordination consent payments of $134 to Mr. Goepel, our Chief Executive Officer, and $81 to Pinnacle Fund, which is controlled by David Sandberg, our Chairman) and our bank line of credit, and (iii) pay transaction costs and expenses of the term loan and the acquisition of PeopleCube.
 
We made quarterly principal payments of $362 each on the senior note payable beginning October 1, 2012. We paid the required $2,000 principal payment in May 2013. The balance of this note of $14,085 was refinanced under a new facility with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. in March 2014, as discussed below. We were in compliance with all covenant requirements as of December 31, 2013, and through the payoff date. We recorded a loss on debt refinancing of $1,402 in the first quarter of 2014, of which $704 is a pre-payment premium and $698 is non-cash deferred financing costs.

Term Loan - Wells Fargo
 
In March 2014, we entered into a Credit Agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and the lenders that are party thereto. We used the proceeds of the term loan to finance the repayment of all amounts outstanding under our loan agreement with Deerpath and the payment of certain fees, cost and expenses related to the Credit Agreement. 
 
The Credit Agreement provides for a term loan in the amount of $15,000. The term loan will mature in March 2019. The outstanding principal amount of the term loan is payable follows:

·  	$375 on June 30, 2017 and the last day of each fiscal quarter thereafter, with a final payment of the remaining balance due on March 31, 2019	

The first three scheduled principal payments of $188 each were made timely in June, September and December 2014.  
 
The Credit Agreement also provides for a revolving loan commitment in the aggregate amount of up to $3,000. The outstanding principal amount of the revolving loan is due and payable in March 2019. Additionally, the Credit Agreement provides for a $10,000 uncommitted incremental term loan facility to support permitted acquisitions. Under the revolver, $0 was outstanding and $3,000 was available for borrowing at December 31, 2014. In July 2014, we borrowed $1,500 under the revolver, which was used to fund a portion of the acquisition cost of all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of FotoPunch, Inc. In August 2014, we borrowed $1,000 under the revolver which was used to fund a portion of the acquisition cost of substantially all the assets of Roomtag, LLC. We repaid the balance on the revolver, leaving a balance of $0 at December 31, 2014.

The term loan and revolving loan will bear interest, at our option, at (i) the greater of 1% or LIBOR, plus an applicable margin or (ii) a base rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus an applicable margin. We have elected to use the LIBOR rate plus the applicable margin, which was 5% for the first nine months ended December 31, 2014. Interest is payable quarterly and the margin varies based upon our leverage ratio. See table below of applicable margin rates.

Total Leverage Ratio	 	Base Rate Margin	 	 	LIBOR Rate Margin	 	
> 2.75:1.0	 	 	3.00	%	 	 	4.00	%	
< 2.75:1.0 but > 2.25:1	 	 	2.50	%	 	 	3.50	%	
< 2.25:1	 	 	2.00	%	 	 	3.00	%	
 
We may voluntarily prepay the principal amount outstanding under the revolving loan at any time without penalty or premium.  However, we must pay a premium if we make a voluntary prepayment of outstanding principal under the term loan during the first two years following the closing date or if we are required to prepay outstanding principal under the Credit Agreement with proceeds resulting from certain asset sales or debt incurrence. The premium is 1% or 0.5% of the principal amount being prepaid depending on whether the prepayment occurs on or before the first anniversary of the closing date or subsequent to the first anniversary date through the second anniversary of the closing date. In addition, we are required to repay outstanding principal on an annual basis with 50% of excess cash flow, certain over advances, asset sale proceeds, debt proceeds, and proceeds from judgments and settlements. As of December 31, 2014, none of these payments were due.
 
Under the Credit Agreement, we are required to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.5 to 1.0 beginning with the quarter ending June 30, 2014 and each calendar quarter thereafter, and a leverage ratio of not greater than 3.5 to 1.0 beginning with the quarter ending June 30, 2014 with the levels stepping down thereafter. The Credit Agreement was amended in August 2014. The Amendment revised the leverage ratio beginning with the quarter ending September 30, 2014 to a leverage ratio of not greater than 3.6 to 1.0 with the levels stepping down thereafter. The Credit Agreement was amended in March 2015 to authorize us to optionally prepay, subject to specified conditions, the Subordinated Note Payable to Roomtag and to revise the leverage ratio beginning with the quarter ended March 31, 2015 to a leverage ratio of not greater than 3.5 to 1.0 with the levels stepping down thereafter.
 
The Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including, among others, limitations with respect to debt, liens, fundamental changes, sale of assets, prepayment of debt, investments, dividends, and transactions with affiliates.

 We were in compliance with the covenant requirements as of December 31, 2014 and expect to be in compliance or be able to obtain compliance through debt repayments with the available cash on hand or as expected to be generated from operations over the subsequent twelve month period.
 
The Credit Agreement contains customary events of default, including, among others, payment defaults, covenant defaults, judgment defaults, bankruptcy and insolvency events, cross defaults to certain indebtedness, incorrect representations or warranties, and change of control. In some cases, the defaults are subject to customary notice and grace period provisions.
 
In March 2014 and in connection with the Credit Agreement, we and our wholly-owned active subsidiaries entered into a Guaranty and Security Agreement with Wells Fargo Bank. Under the Guaranty and Security Agreement, we and each of our wholly-owned active subsidiaries have guaranteed all obligations under the Credit Agreement and granted a security interest in substantially all of our and our subsidiaries’ assets.

Less accumulated depreciation	 	 	(10,779	)	 	 	(10,333	)	
 	 	$	1,539	 	 	$	1,233	 	

We record the amortization of our capital leases as depreciation expense on our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss. Depreciation and amortization expenses relating to property and equipment were approximately $462 and $449 for 2014 and 2013, respectively.
 
NOTE 8 - STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
 
In May 2013, we sold approximately 662,000 shares of common stock to various investors, including certain directors of the Company and other entities affiliated with the directors at a purchase price of $5.31 per share, for proceeds, net of fees and expenses, of approximately $3,433. We sold the shares pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-3 and a related prospectus supplement. We used $2,000 of the funds to make a required principal payment under our loan agreement with Deerpath Funding. We used the balance of the net proceeds for general corporate purposes and repayment of additional outstanding debt.
 
SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAM
 
Pursuant to Asure’s stock repurchase plan, we may repurchase up to 450,000 shares of our common stock.  We have repurchased a total of 384,000 shares for approximately $5.0 million over the life of the plan.  Management will periodically assess repurchasing additional shares, depending on our cash position, market conditions, financial covenants and other factors.  While the program remains in place, we did not repurchase any shares during 2014 or 2013.

STOCK AND STOCK OPTION PLANS

Asure has one active equity plan, the 2009 Equity Plan (the “2009 Plan”). The 2009 Plan provides for the issuance of non-qualified and incentive stock options to our employees and consultants. We generally grant stock options with exercise prices greater than or equal to the fair market value at the time of grant.  The options generally vest over three to four years and are exercisable for a period of five to ten years beginning with date of grant.   Our shareholders approved an amendment to the 2009 Plan in June 2014 to increase the number of shares reserved under the plan from 1,200,000 to 1,400,000. We have a total of 735,000 options granted and outstanding pursuant to the 2009 Plan as of December 31, 2014.
 
We use the Black-Scholes option valuation model to value employee stock awards. We estimate stock price volatility based upon our historical volatility. Estimated option life and forfeiture rate assumptions are derived from historical data. For stock-based compensation awards with graded vesting, we recognize compensation expense using the straight-line amortization method.

Total compensation expense recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss for stock based awards was $226 and $160 for 2014 and 2013, respectively.

NOTE 11 - NET LOSS PER SHARE

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net loss per common share for 2014 and 2013. 

We have excluded stock options to acquire 735,000 and 795,000 shares for 2014 and 2013, respectively, from the computation of the dilutive stock options because the effect of including the stock options would have been anti-dilutive.

At December 31, 2014, we had federal net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $116,620, research and development credit carryforwards of approximately $4,981 and alternative minimum tax credit carryforwards of approximately $161. The net operating loss and research and development credit carryforwards will expire in varying amounts from 2018 through 2034, if not utilized. Minimum tax credit carryforwards carry forward indefinitely.
 
As a result of various acquisitions by the Company in prior years, we may be subject to a substantial annual limitation in the utilization of the net operating losses and credit carryforwards due to the “change in ownership” provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. The annual limitation may result in the expiration of net operating losses before utilization.
 
Due to the uncertainty surrounding the timing of realizing the benefits of its favorable tax attributes in future tax returns, we have placed a valuation allowance against our net deferred tax assets, exclusive of goodwill. During 2014, the valuation allowance increased by approximately $563 due primarily to operations, including expiration of tax carryforwards.  Approximately $8,251 of the valuation allowance relates to tax benefits for stock option deductions included in our net operating loss carryforward which we will allocate, if and when realized, directly to contributed capital to the extent the benefits exceed amounts attributable to book deferred compensation expense.
    
We consider undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries as permanently reinvested and, accordingly, we have made no provision for U.S. federal or state income taxes thereon.

Our provision for income taxes attributable to continuing operations differs from the expected tax expense (benefit) amount computed by applying the statutory federal income tax rate of 34% to income before income taxes as a result of the following:
 
 	For 2014	 	 	For  2013	 	
 	 	 	 	 	 	 	
Computed at statutory rate	 	$	(49	) 	 	$	(525	)

Tax carryforwards not benefitted	 	 	281	 	 	 	197	 	
 	 	$	117	 	 	$	117	 	
 
The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of January 1, 2014 was approximately $1,252. The reconciliation of our unrecognized tax benefits at the beginning and end of the year is as follows:
 
Balance at January 1, 2014	 	$	1,252	 	
Additions based on tax positions related to the current year	 	 	34	 	
Additions for tax positions of prior years	 	 	2	 	
Balance at December 31, 2014	 	$	1,288	 	
 
As of December 31, 2014, we had $1,288 of unrecognized tax benefits, which would affect the effective tax rate if recognized. The Company’s assessment of its unrecognized tax benefits is subject to change as a function of the Company’s financial statement audit. 
 
Our practice is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense.  During 2014, we recognized $11 of interest and penalties in our income tax expense. 
 
Asure files tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and in several state and foreign jurisdictions.  We are no longer subject to U.S. federal income tax examinations for years ending before December 31, 2011 and are no longer subject to state and local or foreign income tax examinations by tax authorities for years ending before December 31, 2010.  Asure is not currently under audit for federal, state or any foreign jurisdictions.
 
NOTE 13 - LEASE COMMITMENTS
 
Asure’s future minimum lease payments under all operating and capital leases as of December 31, 2014 are as follows:

Total rent expense under all operating leases for 2014 and 2013 were $624 and $671, respectively. For 2014 and 2013, approximately 47.2% and 45.1%, respectively, of our total operating lease obligations relates to our corporate office facility at Wild Basin in Austin, Texas.
