NOTE 1 – THE COMPANY AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

We have prepared the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and accordingly, they do not include all information and footnotes required under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, these interim financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal, recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, and the cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015.

You should read these condensed consolidated financial statements in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015.  The results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for a full fiscal year.

 

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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

As of March 31, 2016, Asure’s principal sources of liquidity consisted of approximately $553 of cash and cash equivalents, future cash generated from operations and $3,000 available for borrowing under our Wells Fargo revolver discussed in Note 6 – Notes Payable. We believe that we have and/or will generate sufficient cash for our short- and long-term needs, including meeting the requirements of our term loan, and the related debt covenant requirements. We continue to seek reductions in our expenses as a percentage of revenue on an annual basis and thus may utilize our cash balances in the short-term to reduce long-term costs. Based on current internal projections, we believe that we have and/or will generate sufficient cash for our operational needs, including any required debt payments, for at least the next twelve months.

Management is focused on growing our existing product offering, as well as our customer base, to increase our recurring revenues. We are also exploring additional strategic acquisitions in the near future, although we have no agreements to make any acquisition at this time. 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 12 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.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

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

 

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, “Disclosure of Uncertainties About an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” which requires management to perform interim and annual assessments of an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern (meet its obligations as they become due) within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. If conditions or events raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, certain disclosures are required. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods ending after December 15, 2016, and interim reporting periods thereafter. We adopted the provisions of ASU 2014-15 on January 1, 2016. This adoption did not have any impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03,” Interest — Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs”. This ASU requires reporting entities to record costs paid to third parties that are directly related to issuing debt, and that otherwise would not be incurred, as a deduction to the corresponding debt for presentation purposes. In addition, in August 2015, FASB issued ASU 2015-15, “Interest — Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements-Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to Staff Announcement at the June 18, 2015 Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") Meeting”. Given the absence of authoritative guidance within ASU 2015-03 for debt issuance costs related to line-of-credit arrangements, ASU 2015-15 states the SEC staff would not object to an entity deferring and presenting debt issuance costs as an asset and subsequently amortizing the deferred debt issuance costs ratably over the term of the line-of-credit arrangement, regardless of whether there are any outstanding borrowings on the line-of-credit arrangement. The provisions of each ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. A reporting entity should apply each amendment retrospectively. We adopted ASU 2015-03 on January 1, 2016 for debt issuance costs on our term loan, on a retrospective basis. The impact of adopting ASU 2015-03 on our current period condensed consolidated financial statements was the classification of all deferred financing costs as a deduction to the corresponding debt in addition to the reclassification of deferred financing costs in other current and long term assets to short and long term notes payable as of December 31, 2015, within the condensed consolidated balance sheets to conform to the current period presentation. Other than these reclassifications and additional disclosures, the adoption of ASU 2015-03 did not have an impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, “Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory”. Inventory within the scope of this update is required to be measured at the lower of its cost or net realizable value, with net realizable value being the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. This ASU is effective prospectively for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. We are currently assessing the impact of adopting this standards update on our consolidated financial statements.

 

In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-16, “Business Combinations: Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments,” which requires acquirers to recognize adjustments to provisional amounts identified during the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined. Acquirers should record, in the same period’s financial statements, the effect on earnings of changes in depreciation, amortization, or other income effects, if any, as a result of the change to the provisional amounts, calculated as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. Application of the standard, which should be applied prospectively, is required for the annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2015. We adopted the provisions of ASU 2015-16 on January 1, 2016. The adoption did not have a material impact on our results of operations or financial position.

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, Income Taxes: Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes, to require that deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified entirely as non-current. This amended guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted, and the amended guidance may be applied prospectively to all deferred tax liabilities and assets or retrospectively to all periods presented. We are currently evaluating the effects and timing of the adoption of this new standard, which must be adopted by the first quarter of 2017.

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

 

Although Asure has been, and in the future may be, the defendant or plaintiff in various actions arising in the normal course of business, as of March 31, 2016, we were not party to any pending legal proceedings.

 

NOTE 3 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

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

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

The following table presents the fair value hierarchy for our financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively:

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. We will record any changes to the fair value of contingent consideration due to changes in assumptions used in preparing the valuation model in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss.

 

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. Management estimates probabilities and then applies them to management’s conservative case forecast, most likely case forecast and optimistic case forecast with the various scenarios. The Company has retained a third party expert to assist in determining the value of the contingent consideration.

The valuation of contingent consideration for the FotoPunch acquisition is based on a Monte Carlo simulation model for fiscal 2016 to 2018, with fiscal 2016 being a partial year from January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016. Management provided revenue projections (unobservable input) of $650, $2,203 and $3,925 for fiscal 2016 (partial year), fiscal 2017 and fiscal 2018, respectively. The fair value of this valuation is estimated on a quarterly basis through a collaborative effort by the Company's sales, marketing and finance departments. 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. Management evaluates the fair value on a quarterly basis based upon updated projections.

The following table summarizes the changes in our contingent consideration:

 

Funds held for clients

Funds held for clients represent assets that, based upon the Company's intent, are restricted for use solely for the purposes of satisfying the obligations to remit funds relating to the Company’s payroll and payroll tax filing services, which are classified as client funds obligations on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Funds held for clients are held in demand deposit accounts at major financial institutions and are classified as a current asset on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets since these funds are held solely for the purposes of satisfying the client fund obligations.

Client fund obligations represent the Company's contractual obligations to remit funds to satisfy clients' payroll and tax payment obligations and are recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at the time that the Company impounds funds from clients.  The client fund obligations represent liabilities that will be repaid within one year of the balance sheet date.  The Company has reported client fund obligations as a current liability on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets totaling $28,608 and $0 as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.  The Company has classified funds held for clients as a current asset since these funds are held solely for the purposes of satisfying the client funds obligations.  The Company has reported the cash flows related to the purchases of corporate and client funds marketable securities and related to the proceeds from the sales and maturities of corporate and client funds marketable securities on a gross basis in the investing section of the Condensed Statements of Consolidated Cash Flows.  The Company has reported the cash inflows and outflows related to client fund investments with original maturities of ninety days or less on a net basis within the net increase in restricted cash and cash equivalents and other restricted assets held to satisfy client fund obligations in the investing section of the Statements of Consolidated Cash Flows.  The Company has reported the cash flows related to the cash received from and paid on behalf of clients on a net basis within net increase in client funds obligations in the financing activities section of the Condensed Statements of Consolidated Cash Flows.

 

NOTE 4 – ACQUISITIONS

2016 Acquisition

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

Stock Purchase Agreement

In March 2016, we acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock (the “Shares”) of Mangrove Employer Services, Inc. of Tampa, Florida (“Mangrove”). Pursuant to this stock purchase, we acquired the payroll division of Mangrove, which is engaged in the human resource management and payroll processing businesses. The aggregate consideration for the Shares consisted of (i) $11,348 in cash, a portion of which was used to pay certain obligations of Mangrove and (ii) a secured subordinated promissory note (the “Note”) in the principal amount of $6,000, subject to adjustment as provided in the Stock Purchase Agreement. We funded the cash payment with proceeds from our credit agreement with Wells Fargo. The Note bears interest at an annual rate of 3.50% and matures in March 2018, with the first installment of principal due in March 2017 and the second installment of principal due in March 2018. The Stock Purchase Agreement contains certain customary representations, warranties, indemnities and covenants. Details regarding the financing of the acquisition are described in the below Notes Payable table. Transaction costs for this acquisition were $706 and we expensed them as incurred. The acquisition costs are included in other income(loss) in the Condensed Consolidated Income Statement for three months ended March 31, 2016.

Asset Purchase Agreement

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

 

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

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

Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information

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 and Mangrove in 2016. 

  

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

The following table summarizes the changes in our goodwill:

NOTE 6 – NOTES PAYABLE

The following table summarizes our outstanding debt as of the dates indicated:

 

 

The following table summarizes the future principal payments related to our outstanding debt:

 

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 as follows:

·	$188 on June 30, 2014 and the last day of each fiscal quarter thereafter up to March 31, 2016;

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

·	$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 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. As of March 31, 2016, $0 was outstanding and $3,000 was available for borrowing under the revolver.

ASURE SOFTWARE, INC.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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

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 has remained constant at 5% since the inception of the loan. Interest is payable quarterly and the margin varies based upon our leverage ratio. See table below of applicable margin rates prior to the amendment effective November 11, 2015.

 

As discussed below, the Credit Agreement was amended in November 2015. See table below of applicable margin rates as of November 11, 2015 through March 31, 2016.

 

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 judgements and settlements. As of March 31, 2016, none of these payments were due.

 

Under the Credit Agreement, we were 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. We amended the Credit Agreement in August 2014, March 2015 and November 2015. The August 2014 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 March 2015 amendment authorized us to optionally prepay, subject to specified conditions, the Subordinated Note Payable to Roomtag and revised 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 November 2015 amendment increased the applicable margin relative to the LIBOR rate upon which we compute the interest payable.  We agreed that if our leverage ratio is (a) less than or equal to 2.25:1, (b) greater than 2.25:1 but less than or equal to 2.75:1, (c) greater than 2.75:1 but less than or equal to 3.25:1 or (d) greater than 3.25:1, the applicable margin relative to the LIBOR rate would be 3.00, 3.50, 4.00 or 4.50 percentage points, respectively. We further agreed that until the leverage ratio testing period ending September 30, 2016, we will pay interest based on the 4.50 percentage point margin level.

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

We amended our Credit Agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., in March 2016. Under this amendment, we expanded our overall credit facility by $12,500 to $29,188. The amendment changes the applicable margin rates for determining the interest rate payable on the loan as follows:

 

The March 2016 amendment also amends our leverage ratio requirements under the Credit Agreement.  We have now agreed to a leverage ratio not to exceed 5.00:1 at March 31, 2016, stepping down to 2.25:1 at December 31, 2018.

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.

As of March 31, 2016, we were in compliance with all covenants and all payments remain current. We expect to be in compliance or be able to obtain compliance through debt repayments with the available cash on hand or as we expect to be generated from ordinary course of operations over the next twelve months. 

In March 2016, we acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock (the “Shares”) of Mangrove. Pursuant to this stock purchase, we acquired the payroll division of Mangrove, which is engaged in the human resource management and payroll processing businesses. The aggregate consideration for the Shares consisted of (i) $11,348 in cash, a portion of which was used to pay certain obligations of Mangrove and (ii) a secured subordinated promissory note (the “Note”) in the principal amount of $6,000, subject to adjustment as provided in the Stock Purchase Agreement. We funded the cash payment with proceeds from our credit agreement with Wells Fargo. The Note bears interest at an annual rate of 3.50% and matures in March 2018, with the first installment of principal of $3,000 due in March 2017 and the second installment of principal of $3,000 due in March 2018.

NOTE 7 – SHARE BASED COMPENSATION

 

Share based compensation for our stock option plans for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 were $39 and $37, respectively. We issued 1,500 shares of common stock related to exercises of stock options granted from our Stock Option Plan for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 9,700 for the three months ended March 31, 2015, respectively.

 

Asure has one active equity plan, the 2009 Equity Plan (the “2009 Plan”). The 2009 Plan provides for the issuance of non-qualified and incentive stock options to our employees and consultants. We generally grant stock options with exercise prices greater than or equal to the fair market value at the time of grant.  The options generally vest over three to four years and are exercisable for a period of five to ten years beginning with date of grant.   Our shareholders approved an amendment to the 2009 Plan in June 2014 to increase the number of shares reserved under the plan from 1,200,000 to 1,400,000. We have a total of 546,000 options granted and outstanding pursuant to the 2009 Plan as of March 31, 2016.

NOTE 8 – OTHER COMPREHENSIVE LOSS

Comprehensive loss represents a measure of all changes in equity that result from recognized transactions and other economic events other than those resulting from investments by and distributions to shareholders. Our other comprehensive loss includes foreign currency translation adjustments.

The following table presents the changes in each component of accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax:

 

The following table presents the tax benefit (expense) allocated to each component of other comprehensive income (loss):

 

 

NOTE 9 – NET LOSS PER SHARE

We compute net loss per share based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period.  Diluted net loss per share reflects the maximum dilution that would have resulted from incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options.  We compute the number of common share equivalents, which includes stock options, using the treasury stock method. We have excluded stock options to acquire 546,000 and 971,000 shares as of March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, from the computation of the dilutive stock options because the effect of including the stock options would have been anti-dilutive.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net loss per common share for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015:

Although these forward-looking statements reflect management’s current plans and expectations, which we believe are reasonable as of the filing date of this report, they inherently are subject to certain risks and uncertainties. These risks and uncertainties include — but are not limited to —  adverse changes in the economy, financial markets, and credit markets; delays or reductions in information technology spending;  the development of the market for cloud based workplace applications; product development; market acceptance of new products and product improvements; our ability to retain or increase our customer base;  security breaches; errors, disruptions or delays in our services; privacy concerns; changes in the our sales cycle; competition, including pricing pressures, entry of new competitors, and new technologies; intellectual property enforcement and litigation; our ability to hire, retain and motivate employees;  our ability to manage our growth; our ability to realize benefits from acquisitions;  changes in sales may not be immediately reflected in our operating results due to our subscription model; changes in laws and regulations; and changes in accounting standards.

OVERVIEW

The following review of Asure’s financial position as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 and the results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 should be read in conjunction with our 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Asure’s internet website address is http://www.asuresoftware.com.  Our annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K and amendments to those reports filed or furnished pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 are available through the investor relations page of our internet website free of charge as soon as reasonably practicable after they are electronically filed, or furnished to, the Securities and Exchange Commission.

We target our sales and marketing efforts to a wide range of audiences, from small and medium-sized businesses to Fortune 500 companies and divisions of enterprise organizations throughout the United States, Europe and Asia/Pacific. We generate sales of our solutions through our direct sales teams and indirectly through our channel partners.  We are expanding our investment in our direct sales teams to continue to address our market opportunity. 

 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

The following table sets forth, for the fiscal periods indicated, the percentage of total revenues represented by certain items in Asure’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss:

 

 

Revenue

 

Our revenue was derived from the following sources:

 

 

Revenue represents our consolidated revenues, 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.

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, FotoPunch and Mangrove revenues.

 

Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was $6,722, an increase of $390 or 6.2%, from the $6,332 reported for the three months ended March 31, 2015. Cloud revenue increased from the first quarter of 2015 due to our continued emphasis on selling integrated cloud based solutions. AsureSpace™ revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was $3,734, a slight decrease of $49 or 1.3%, from the $3,783 recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2015. AsureSpace™ cloud and hardware revenues increased, offset by decreases in maintenance and support, on premise software license and professional services revenues. Cloud revenue increased $196, or 10.8%, and hardware revenue increased $90, or 36.9%, over the three months ended March 31, 2015. The largest decrease was in maintenance and support revenue of $255, or 23.7%, primarily caused by the movement of customers from on premise to on demand, cloud based solutions. AsureForce® revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was $2,988, an increase of $439 or 17.2%, from the $2,549 recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2015. This increase was primarily due to the acquisition of Mangrove in March 2016, resulting in $368 of revenue in the first quarter of 2016. Cloud, hardware, on premise software license and professional services revenues increased, with the largest increases in cloud revenue of $294, or 18.9%, and professional services revenue of $155, or 176.1%, over the three months ended March 31, 2015. These increases were offset by a decrease in AsureForce® maintenance and support revenue of $71, or 14.6%, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2015.

 

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.

Gross Margin

 

Consolidated gross margin for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was $4,992, an increase of $312, or 6.7%, from the $4,680 reported for the three months ended March 31, 2015.  Gross margin as a percentage of revenues was 74.3% and 73.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. We attribute the decrease in gross margin to a shift in the mix of our revenue between our higher margin and lower margin product lines.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

 

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2016 were $4,327, an increase of $878 or 25.5%, from the $3,449 reported for the three months ended March 31, 2015.  SG&A expenses as a percentage of revenues were 64.4% and 54.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

 

We’ve reorganized our sales team in 2015 to increase our focus on larger deals in the enterprise and global markets, resulting in higher headcount and increased selling expenses, We continue to evaluate any unnecessary expenses and any increases in SG&A are designed to enhance future revenue growth.

Research and Development Expenses

 

Research and development (“R&D”) expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2015 were $811, an increase of $73, or 10.0%, from the $738 reported for the three months ended March 31, 2015. R&D expenses as a percentage of revenues were 12.1% and 11.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.  

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

 

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

Amortization of Intangible Assets

 

Amortization expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2016 were $377, a decrease of $128, or 25.3%, from the $505 reported for the three months ended March 31, 2015. Amortization expenses as a percentage of revenues were 5.6% and 8.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. 

Other Income and Loss

 

Income Taxes

 

Income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was $44, a decrease of $16, or 26.7%, from the $60 reported for the three months ended March 31, 2015. 

 

Net Loss

 

We incurred a net loss of $1,554, or $(0.25) per share, during the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to a net loss of $483 or $(0.08) per share reported for the three months ended March 31, 2015.  Net loss as a percentage of total revenues was 23.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to net loss of 7.6% of total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2015.

We intend to continue to implement our corporate strategy for growing the software and services business by modestly investing in areas that directly generate revenue and positive cash flows for the Company.  However, uncertainties and challenges remain and there can be no assurance that we can successfully grow our revenues or achieve profitability during the remainder of fiscal year 2016.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES (Amounts in thousands)

 

 

 

Working Capital.  We had a working capital deficit of $13,238 at March 31, 2016, an increase in our deficit of $4,645 from the $8,593 deficit at December 31, 2015. The working capital deficit at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 includes $10,523 and $10,803 of deferred revenue, respectively.  Deferred revenue is an obligation to perform future services.  We expect that deferred revenue will convert to future revenue as we perform our services, but this does not represent future payments. Deferred revenue can vary based on seasonality, expiration of initial multi-year contracts and deals that are billed after implementation rather than in advance of service delivery. We attribute the increase in our working capital deficit to an increase in our current notes payable of $3,787, due to the acquisition of Mangrove in the first quarter of 2016.

 

Operating Activities.  Cash used in operating activities was $638 for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The $638 of cash used in operating activities during the first quarter of 2016 was primarily driven by net income (after adjustment for non-cash items) of $789, a decrease in accounts payable of $798 and a decrease in other accrued liabilities of $748. This was offset by increases in deferred revenue of $637, as well as decreases in accounts receivable of $723, prepaid expenses and other assets of $187, and inventory of $150, respectively. The $546 of cash provided by operating activities during the first quarter of 2015 was primarily driven by net income (after adjustment for non-cash items) of $362, an increase in accounts payable of $648 as well as a decrease in accounts receivable of $401. This was offset by an increase in prepaid expenses and other assets of $195, a decrease in accrued expenses and deferred revenue of $65 and $512, respectively.

 

Investing Activities.  Cash used in investing activities was $24,205 and $632 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015, respectively, due primarily to the acquisition of Mangrove and the increase in funds held for clients in the first quarter of 2016 and due to net purchases of property and equipment in the three months ended March 31, 2015.

 

Financing Activities.  Cash provided by financing activities was $24,201 for the three months ended March 31, 2016. We incurred $12,500 of debt and $12,189 of client fund obligations, primarily due to the cash used in the acquisition of Mangrove and the increase in funds held for clients in the first quarter of 2016. This is offset by debt financing fees of $438. Cash provided by financing activities was $29 for the three months ended March 31, 2015. We incurred $1,000 of debt. This is offset by note payments of $887 and debt financing fees of $75.

 

Sources of Liquidity.  As of March 31, 2016, Asure’s principal sources of liquidity consisted of approximately $553 of cash and cash equivalents and future cash generated from operations. We believe that we have and/or will generate sufficient cash for our short- and long-term needs. Based on current internal projections, we believe that we have and/or will generate sufficient cash for our operational needs, including any required debt payments, for at least the next twelve months. We currently project that we can generate positive cash flows from our operating activities for at least the next twelve months.

 

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

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

Capital Resources. At March 31, 2016, we had $26,188 outstanding under our credit agreement with Wells Fargo. Available funds under the term credit facility were approximately $0 and under the revolving credit facility were approximately $3,000 at March 31, 2016. For further discussion regarding debt and financing arrangements, see Note 6 to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.
