NOTE 1 – THE COMPANY AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Asure Software, Inc., (“Asure”, the “Company”, “we” and “our”), a Delaware Corporation, is a leading provider of Human Capital Management (“HCM”) software solutions. We help small and medium-sized companies grow by helping them build more productive teams, providing the tools and resources that help them stay compliant with ever-changing federal, state, and local tax jurisdictions and labor laws, and better allocate cash so they can spend their financial capital on growing their business rather than back-office overhead expenses. Asure’s Human Capital Management suite, named Asure HCM, includes cloud-based Payroll, Tax Services, and Time & Attendance software as well as human resources (“HR”) services ranging from HR projects to completely outsourcing payroll and HR staff. We also offer these products and services through our network of reseller partners.

Our platform vision is to help clients grow their business and become the most trusted HCM resource to entrepreneurs everywhere. Our product strategy is driven by three primary challenges that prevent businesses from growing: HR complexity, allocation of both human and financial capital, and the ability to build great teams. The Asure HCM suite includes four product lines: Asure Payroll & Tax, Asure HR, Asure Time & Attendance, and Asure HRServices.

We develop, market, sell and support our offerings nationwide through our principal office in Austin, Texas and from our processing hubs in California, Florida, Nebraska, New Jersey, New York, Tennessee, and Vermont. In May 2021, we closed our Washington office where we provided our HR consulting services as employees from that office now work remotely.

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

In the opinion of management, these interim financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal, recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position as of September 30, 2021 and the results of operations, statements of changes in stockholders’ equity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020, and our statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020.

These unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with our audited Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto filed with the SEC in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 (our “2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K”). The results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for a full fiscal year.

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

USE OF ESTIMATES

Preparation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of the assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve judgments. The more significant estimates made by management include the valuation allowance for the gross deferred tax assets, useful lives of long-lived assets, the determination of the fair value of its long-lived assets, and the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed during acquisitions. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions management believes reasonable under the given circumstances. These estimates could be materially different under different conditions and assumptions. Additionally, the actual amounts could differ from the estimates made. Management periodically evaluates estimates used in the preparation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for continued reasonableness. We make appropriate adjustments, if any, to the estimates used prospectively based upon such periodic evaluation.

CASH EQUIVALENTS

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of 90 days or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents include investments in an institutional money market fund, which invests in U.S. Treasury bills, notes and bonds, and/or repurchase agreements, backed by such obligations. Carrying value approximates fair value. Cash and cash equivalents are deposited at various area banks, which at times may exceed federally insured limits. The Company monitors the viability of the banking institutions carrying its assets on a regular basis, and has the ability to transfer cash to various institutions during times of risk. The Company has not experienced any losses related to these cash balances, and believes its credit risk to be minimal.

SIGNIFICANT RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

The coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic has resulted in a global economic slowdown and disruptions that have and could continue to negatively impact our business. The pandemic and numerous measures implemented to contain the virus such as business shutdowns, shelter-in-place orders and travel bans and restrictions have caused businesses, especially small and medium-sized businesses, some of whom are our customers, to reduce headcount or cease operations as customer demand decreased. Given the economic slowdown and other risks and uncertainties associated with the pandemic, we expect our business, financial condition, results of operations and growth prospects to be adversely affected in the future. Our business is impacted by employment levels as we have contracts that charge clients on a per-employee basis. In addition, the conditions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic could adversely affect our customers’ ability or willingness to purchase our offerings, delay prospective customers’ purchasing decisions, delay the provisioning of our offerings, lengthen payment terms, reduce the value or duration of customer subscription contracts, or affect attrition rates, all of which could adversely affect our future sales, operating results and overall financial performance.

The duration and extent of the impact from the COVID-19 pandemic depends on future developments that cannot be accurately predicted at this time, such as the severity and transmission rate of the virus and potential variants, the extent and effectiveness of containment actions, including the administration of vaccinations and the impact of these and other factors on our employees, customers, partners and vendors. If we are not able to respond to and manage the impact of such events effectively, our business will be harmed.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

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

RECLASSIFICATION

The Company reclassified its presentation of restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents included in funds held for clients as of September 30, 2020 in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows to conform to the current period presentation. Such reclassification had no effect on the consolidated financial position or consolidated results of operations of the Company.

ACCUMULATED OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS)

As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) consisted of net unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities.

NOTE 3 – INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

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

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

The following table presents the fair value hierarchy for our financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively (in thousands):

The contractual obligations and earn out provision are accounted for as a contingent liability and fair value is determined using Level 3 inputs, as estimating the fair value of these contingent liabilities require the use of significant and subjective inputs that may and are likely to change over the duration of the liabilities. The following table discloses the change in the gross contingent purchase consideration on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2021 (in thousands):

December 31, 2020			$	3,880

As of December 31, 2020, these unrealized losses were less than $2 individually and $2 in the aggregate. These securities have not been in a continuous unrealized gain or loss position for more than 12 months. We do not intend to sell these investments and we do not expect to sell these investments before recovery of their amortized cost basis, which may be at maturity. We review our investments to identify and evaluate investments that indicate possible other-than-temporary impairment. Factors considered in determining whether a loss is other-than-temporary include the length of time and extent to which fair value has been less than the cost basis, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the investee, and our intent and ability to hold the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in market value.

			December 31, 2020						Acquisitions						September 30, 2021
Goodwill			$	73,958					$	12,156					$	86,114

We believe significant synergies are expected to arise from these strategic acquisitions and their assembled workforces. This factor contributed to a purchase price that was in excess of the fair value of the net assets acquired and, as a result, we recorded goodwill for each acquisition. A portion of acquired goodwill will be amortizable for tax purposes. As of September 30, 2021, there has been no impairment of goodwill based on the qualitative assessments performed by the Company.

In July 2020, we acquired certain assets of a payroll tax business (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”). The initial purchase price for the assets was $4,250, which we paid in cash at closing. The Asset Purchase Agreement set forth two subsequent purchase consideration payments, which are contingent on certain thresholds. The first contingent purchase consideration of $1,975, was offset by certain net amounts owed to us by the seller related to transition services in the amount of $191, was paid in June 2021 (a total payment of $1,784). The second and final contingent purchase consideration, will be based on the trailing twelve-month revenue at October 31, 2021, and will generally be made by April 30, 2022. We utilized a Monte Carlo simulation to determine the fair value of the contingent consideration. The adjustment to the fair value of the contingent consideration as of September 30, 2021 was the aforementioned $191 offset.

In September 2021, the Company acquired certain assets (the “Second Asset Purchase Agreement”) of a payroll business, which was used to provide payroll processing services. The aggregate purchase price that the Company paid for these assets was $14,750, paid as follows: (i) $10,325 in cash at closing, (ii) the delivery of a promissory note in the amount of $2,213, and (iii) the delivery of 244 shares of the Company’s common stock, which the parties agreed had an aggregate value of $2,213 as of September 30, 2021. The Second Asset Purchase Agreement is subject to working capital adjustments to the purchase price.

Also in September 2021, we acquired certain assets of a payroll business (the “Third Asset Purchase Agreement”). The initial purchase price for the assets was $24,150, of which $15,000 was paid in cash at closing. The Third Asset Purchase Agreement also included the delivery of 523 shares of the Company’s common stock, which both parties agreed had an aggregate value of $4,800 at closing. Finally, the Third Asset Purchase Agreement set forth a promissory note initially valued at $4,350 and includes a contingent consideration, which is contingent on certain thresholds and will be based on the trailing twelve-month revenue at September 30, 2022, which we expect will be paid in the fourth quarter of 2022. The promissory note has since been adjusted to $4,318 to account for a shortfall in working capital. We utilized a Monte Carlo simulation to determine the fair value of the contingent consideration. There was no adjustment to the fair value of the contingent consideration at September 30, 2021.

The Second Asset Purchase Agreement and Third Asset Purchase Agreement mentioned above were of small, privately held companies, whose historic cash basis financial statements were unaudited and not prepared under generally accepted accounting principals in the United States, including, but not limited to, differences in revenue recognition. The disclosure of supplemental pro forma financial information suggested under ASC 805 for a public business entity has been deemed impracticable by management due to these reasons.

The gross carrying amount and accumulated amortization of our intangible assets as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 are as follows (in thousands, except weighted average periods):

Subordinated Notes Payable - Acquisitions

There remains an outstanding principal balance on the subordinated note payable issued in connection with the purchase of a business we acquired in 2018, which note matured on July 1, 2021. Payment on the principal balance was withheld as security for an outstanding claim for which we are entitled to indemnification under the purchase agreement. We will make the payment, subject to our right of offset under the purchase agreement, when these claims are resolved. Due to our rights under the purchase agreement and the terms of this note, we are not in default under the note.

See Note 4 — Goodwill and Intangible Assets for further discussion regarding the issuance of subordinated notes payable related to acquisitions.

PPP Loan with Pinnacle Bank

Due to the effects of COVID-19 on our business and the related need to support our operations, we received an unsecured Paycheck Protection Program loan in the amount of $8,856 (the “PPP Loan”) in April 2020 from Pinnacle Bank (the “Lender”) under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act. In June 2021, we received notice from our Lender that the Small Business Administration (“SBA”) had approved our application for forgiveness of our PPP Loan. The amount forgiven of $8,560 was the amount we requested in our forgiveness application but was less than the original principal balance due, in part, to changes in SBA guidance following the date of our original loan application. Following the grant of forgiveness, we had an outstanding principal balance of $296 and an additional immaterial amount of accrued interest in our PPP Loan, both of which were paid in full in June 2021. During the three months ended June 30, 2021 the Company recorded a gain on the forgiveness of the PPP Loan and accrued interest in the amount of $8,654. The gain on the forgiveness of the PPP Loan is reflected on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income, and is a non-taxable event.

Term Loan with Wells Fargo N.A.

In March 2014, we entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Wells Fargo, as administrative agent, and the lenders that are party thereto. In connection with the Credit Agreement, we and our wholly owned active subsidiaries entered into a Guaranty and Security Agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, guaranteeing all obligations under the Credit Agreement and granted a security interest in substantially all of our and our subsidiaries’ assets. The Credit Agreement was amended and restated multiple times, with the most recent amendment and restatement effective December 31, 2019. The Credit Agreement was also amended, but not restated, on August 10, 2020. Following the amendment, the Credit Agreement provided for $10,000 in term loans and a $5,000 revolver and provided for new applicable margin rates for determining the interest payable on loans and amended certain of our financial covenants as described in our 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K. For the period ending December 31, 2020, no amount was outstanding and $4,500 was available for borrowing under the revolver. During the three months ended September 30, 2021, we terminated the Credit Agreement. We paid Wells Fargo an aggregate amount of approximately $9,925 in full payment of our outstanding obligations, including $9,750 due on the note and immaterial amounts of interest, fees and other expenses.

Senior Credit Facility with Structural Capital Investments III, LP

On September 10, 2021, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with Structural Capital Investments III, LP (“Structural” and together with the other lenders that are or become parties thereto, the “Lenders”), and Ocean II PLO LLC, as administrative and collateral agent for Structural and the Lenders (“Agent”), under the terms of which the Lenders have committed to lend us up to $50,000 in term loan financing to support our growth needs (the “Facility”) until March 31, 2022. The Company also entered into a secured promissory note with the Agent evidencing our obligations under the Facility. The Company’s obligations are further guaranteed by each of our subsidiaries and secured by our assets and the assets of our subsidiaries.

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

Principal payments begin after the expiration of the interest only period, and are based on a five year amortization schedule, with a balloon payment due in October 2025. The table above in this Note 5 — Notes Payable summarizing future principal payments assumes the Company will not extend the period of interest only payments to October 2024. Upon payment in full of the obligations under the Facility, we are to pay Lenders a final payment fee equal to 1.0% of the increase in our market capitalization since the onset of the agreement, at that time valued at $182,400.

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

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

NOTE 6 – CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS AND REVENUE CONCENTRATION

Receivables

Receivables from contracts with customers, net of allowance for doubtful accounts of $2,730, were $4,595 at September 30, 2021. Receivables from contracts with customers, net of allowance for doubtful accounts of $2,194, were $3,848 at December 31, 2020. No customers represented more than 10% of our net accounts receivable balance as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

Deferred Commissions

Deferred commission costs from contracts with customers were $4,475 and $3,792 at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The amount of amortization recognized for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $424 and $963, respectively, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 was $220 and $660, respectively.

Deferred Revenue

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, revenue of $460 and $4,308, and the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, revenue of $259 and $3,652, respectively, was recognized from the deferred revenue balance at the beginning of each period.

Transaction Price Allocated to the Remaining Performance Obligations

As of September 30, 2021, approximately $23,945 of revenue is expected to be recognized from remaining performance obligations. We expect to recognize revenue on approximately 71% of these remaining performance obligations over the next 12 months, with the balance recognized thereafter.

Revenue Concentration

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, there were no customers that individually represented 10% or more of consolidated revenue.

NOTE 7 – LEASES

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

We record base rent expense under the straight-line method over the term of the lease. In the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss), rent expense is included in operating expenses under general and administrative expenses. The components of the rent expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 were as follows (in thousands):

			Three Months Ended September 30,												Nine Months Ended September 30,
			2021						2020						2021						2020
Operating lease cost			$	496					$	540					$	1,610					$	1,613
Sublease income			(11)						(11)						(32)						(107)
Net rent expense			$	485					$	529					$	1,578					$	1,506

For purposes of calculating the operating lease assets and lease liabilities, extension options are not included in the lease term unless it is reasonably certain we will exercise the option, or the lessor has the sole ability to exercise the option. The weighted average discount rate of our operating leases is 8% as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The weighted average remaining lease term is five years and six years as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

NOTE 8 – SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

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

The number of shares available for issuance under the 2018 Plan is equal to the sum of (i) 2,350 shares, and (ii) any shares subject to issued and outstanding awards under the 2009 Plan as of the effective date of the 2018 Plan that expire, are canceled or otherwise terminate following the effective date of the 2018 Plan. We have outstanding options to purchase 1,872 shares at a weighted average exercise price of $8.01. During the three and nine months ending September 30, 2021 we issued employee stock options to purchase 25 and 954 shares, respectively. The weighted average exercise price of these awards was $9.39 and $7.83 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. These awards will vest over a three year period. We also had 193 outstanding restricted stock units as of September 30, 2021.

As of September 30, 2021, we had 1,615 shares available for grant pursuant to the 2018 Plan.

Share based compensation for our stock option plans for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020 was $714 and $1,295, respectively and for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020 was $1,340 and $1,025, respectively. We issued 9 and 58 shares of common stock related to exercises of stock options for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. We forfeited 77 and issued 7 shares of common stock related to the issuance of vested restricted stock units, net for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

NOTE 9 – NET EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

We compute net earnings (loss) per share based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net earnings (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 and restricted stock units of approximately 2,014 and 2,040 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, and 1,859 and 2,063 shares for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, from the computation of the diluted shares because the effect of including the stock options and restricted stock units would have been anti-dilutive.

NOTE 10 – EMPLOYEE RETENTION TAX CREDIT

In March 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES) was signed into law, providing numerous tax provisions and other stimulus measures, including the Employee Retention Tax Credit (“ERTC”): a refundable tax credit against certain employment taxes. The Taxpayer Certainty and Disaster Tax Relief Act of 2020 and the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 extended and expanded the availability of the ERTC. We have qualified for the ERTC in all three quarters of 2021. During the quarter ended September 30, 2021, we recorded an aggregate benefit of $10,533 in Other income (expense), net in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) to reflect the ERTC for the three quarters in 2021. The receivable for the ERTC benefit as of September 30, 2021 is in Other current assets on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at September 30, 2021.

Asure is a leading provider of cloud-based Human Capital Management (“HCM”) software and services. We help small and medium-sized businesses grow by offering the HR tools necessary to build a better workforce, providing the resources to stay compliant with ever changing federal, state, and local tax jurisdictions and labor laws, ultimately freeing their cash flows so they can spend their financial capital on growing their business rather than back-office overhead that impedes growth. Asure’s HCM suite, named AsureHCM, includes cloud-based Payroll & Tax, HR, and Time & Attendance software as well as HR Services ranging from HR projects to completely outsourcing payroll and HR staff. We also offer these products and services through our network of Reseller Partners.

We are a leading provider of cloud-based HCM solutions, delivered as a software-as-a-service (“SaaS”) for small and medium-sized businesses (“SMBs”). From recruitment to retirement, our solutions help more than 80,000 SMBs across the United States grow their businesses. About 10,000 of our clients are direct and approximately 70,000 remaining clients are indirect as they have contracts with Reseller Partners that white label our solutions.

We strive to be the most trusted HCM resource to entrepreneurs and are focused on less densely populated U.S. metropolitan cities where fewer of our competitors have a presence. Our solution strategy solves three primary challenges that prevent businesses from growing: HR complexity, allocation of human and financial capital, and the ability to build great teams. We have invested in, and intend to continue to invest in, research and development to expand our solution. Asure HCM, our user-friendly solution, reduces the administrative burden on employers and increases employee productivity while managing the complete employment lifecycle.

Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak to be a global pandemic. In response, federal, state and local governments imposed various restrictions on social and commercial activity to promote social distancing in an effort to slow the spread of the disease, and certain restrictions remain in place. Beginning in February 2020, we took various actions in order to minimize the risk of COVID-19 to our employees, our clients, and the communities in which we operate, and in March 2020, we prohibited all business-related travel and began transitioning our employees to work-from-home arrangements. As of June 1, 2021, we have opened our offices and resumed in person work. We continue to take proactive measures, including regular cleaning of the offices, and monitoring of the Center for Disease Control guidelines for returning to work. We will continue to actively monitor the situation and may take further actions that alter our business operations as may be required by federal, state or local authorities or that we determine are in the best interests of our employees and clients.

Beginning in 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted the operations of our clients and client prospects and may continue to do so for an indefinite period of time. Across many industries, temporary and permanent business closures as well as business occupancy limitations have resulted in significant layoffs and employee furloughs since late March 2020. Because we charge our clients on a per-employee basis for certain services we provide, decreases in the headcounts of our clients at the onset of the pandemic negatively impacted our recurring revenue during 2020. We expect our recurring revenue in future periods to continue to be negatively impacted by headcount reductions until employment levels across our client base return to pre-pandemic levels. Further, at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, a limited number of new clients temporarily delayed service implementation. As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to create uncertainty and the potential for ongoing business disruptions, we may experience similar client-driven delays in service implementation in the future.

In 2020, we continued to aggressively invest in sales and marketing and in research and development to drive future growth and expand our market share. Lower headcount at our clients and the other pandemic-related factors described above, which had and may continue to have a negative impact on recurring revenue, combined with increased sales and marketing and research and development expenses, cumulatively had an adverse impact on our operating results for the year ended December 31, 2020. We expect net income to be negatively affected by the impact of the pandemic on our recurring revenue and our deliberate, increased level of investment in sales and marketing and research and development to drive the growth of our business.

Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, our sales force traveled frequently to market our solution set. The current remote work environment presents a unique opportunity because each sales employee is able to meet virtually with a greater number of client prospects in a given day than they would if conducting in-person meetings. Although we have not experienced such challenges to date, if clients and client prospects are not as willing or available to engage by video conference and teleconference, the shift from in-person to virtual sales meetings could negatively affect our sales efforts, impede client acquisition and lengthen our sales cycles, which would negatively impact our business and results of operations and could impact our financial condition in the future.

The employee retention tax credit (“ERTC”) for 2020 was established under the CARES Act and amended by the Taxpayer Certainty and Disaster Tax Relief Act of 2020 and provided for changes in the employee retention credit for 2020 and provided an additional credit. The Company evaluated its eligibility for the ERTC for the three quarters lapsed in 2021. It was determined that the Company qualified for the employee retention credit for each quarter ended in 2021. As a result, as of September 30, 2021 approximately $10,533 was recognized in Interest (expense) income, net for the ERTC. For further discussion, see Note 10 — Employee Retention Credit.

We are unable to estimate the full impact the COVID-19 pandemic could have on our business and results of operations in the future due to numerous uncertainties, including the severity of the disease, the occurrence of variant strains, the duration of the outbreak, actions that may be taken by governmental authorities, the impact it may have on the business of our clients and other factors identified in Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors” in our 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K. As a result, the effect of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic may not be fully reflected in our results of operations and overall financial performance until future periods.

Acquisitions

On September 30, 2021, our subsidiary, Evolution Payroll Processing LLC (“EPP”), acquired certain assets of a New Jersey corporation, which were used to provide payroll processing services. The aggregate purchase price we paid for the assets was $24,150, including: (i) $15,000 in cash at closing, (ii) the delivery of a promissory note of $4,350, and (iii) the delivery of 523 shares of the Company’s common stock which the parties agreed had an aggregate value of $4,800 as of September 30, 2021. At closing, the face amount of the promissory note was adjusted to $4,318 to account for a shortfall in working capital. The agreement is subject to future adjustments to the purchase price, including working capital and an earnout.

Also on September 30, 2021, EPP acquired certain assets of a Vermont corporation, which were used to provide payroll processing services. The aggregate purchase price for these assets was $14,750, paid as follows: (i) $10,325 in cash at closing, (ii) the delivery of a promissory note in the amount of $2,213, and (iii) the delivery of 244 shares of the Company’s common stock which the parties agreed had an aggregate value of $2,213 as of September 30, 2021. The agreement is subject to a future working capital adjustment to the purchase price.

Revenue

Revenues are comprised of recurring revenues, professional services, hardware, and other revenues. We expect our revenues to increase as we introduce new applications, expand our client base and renew and expand relationships with existing clients. As a percentage of total revenues, we expect our mix of recurring revenues, and professional services, hardware and other revenues to remain relatively constant. While revenue mix varies by product, recurring revenue represented over 91% of total revenue in the third quarter.

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

			Three Months Ended September 30,												Variance
			2021						2020						$						%
Recurring			$	16,374					$	15,273					$	1,101					7		%
Professional services, hardware and other			1,607						742						865						117		%
Total			$	17,981					$	16,015					$	1,966					12		%

			Nine Months Ended September 30,												Variance
			2021						2020						$						%
Recurring			$	51,688					$	47,442					$	4,246					9		%
Professional services, hardware and other			3,263						1,635						1,628						100		%
Total			$	54,951					$	49,077					$	5,874					12		%

Revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2021, increased sequentially $813 or 5%, from $17,168 for the three months ended June 30, 2021 primarily due to increased demand of our ERTC service and underlying growth in our core business.

Recurring Revenues

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

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

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

Revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was $17,981, an increase of $1,966, or 12%, from $16,015 for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The 12% growth was split between two-thirds organic and one-third inorgranic growth. The inorganic growth was driven by an increase in clients from our acquisitions at the beginning of 2021. Higher account balances in funds held for clients increased interest revenue compared to the prior year.

Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $54,951, an increase of $5,874, or 12%, from $49,077 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Recurring revenue increased primarily due to an increase in clients due to our acquisitions at the beginning of 2021 and higher account balances in funds held for clients and correlated interest revenue.

Professional Services, Hardware and Other Revenues

Professional Services, Hardware and Other Revenues represents implementation fees, one-time consulting projects, on-premise maintenance, and hardware devices to enhance our software products.

Professional services, hardware and other revenue increased $865, or 117%, for the three months ended September 30, 2021 from the similar period in 2020 due to the continued success of our Employee Retention Tax Credit (“ERTC”) service launch, which we anticipate to have a positive impact on our operating results through 2021.

Professional services, hardware and other revenue increased $1,628, or 100%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 from the similar period in 2020, due to the implementation of our ERTC service in 2021.

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

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

Gross Profit and Gross Margin

Consolidated gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was $10,868, an increase of $1,795, or 20%, from $9,073 for the three months ended September 30, 2020. Gross margin as a percentage of revenue was 60% for the three months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to 57% for the three months ended September 30, 2020. Our increase in gross margin is primarily attributable to the increase in revenue and more efficient operations.

Consolidated gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $33,305, an increase of $5,018, or 18%, from $28,287 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Gross margin as a percentage of revenue was 61% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to 58% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Our increase in gross margin is primarily attributable to the increase in revenue and more efficient operations.

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

Sales and Marketing Expenses

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

Selling and marketing expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2021 were $3,897, an increase of $324, or 9%, from $3,573 for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The increase in sales and marketing is primarily due to increased personnel costs offset by lower discretionary marketing spend as we focus on hiring direct sales personnel. Sales and marketing expenses as a percentage of revenue remained flat at 22% for the three months ended September 30, 2021 from 22% for the same period in 2020.

Selling and marketing expenses as a percentage of revenue remained flat at 20% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 from 20% for the same period in 2020.

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

General and Administrative Expenses

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

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2021 were $7,005, an increase of $1,058, or 18%, from $5,947 for the three months ended September 30, 2020, primarily attributable to increased personnel, contracting and placement costs. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue increased to 39% for the three months ended September 30, 2021 from 37% for the same period in 2020.

General and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 were $20,324, an increase of $3,840, or 23%, from $16,484 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, primarily attributable to increased personnel, contracting and placement costs. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue increased to 37% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 from 34% for the same period in 2020.

We continue to drive efficiencies within our payroll operations by continually reevaluating our vendor relationships.

Research and Development Expenses

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

R&D expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2021 were $1,505, a decrease of $300, or 17%, from $1,805 for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The decrease in R&D expense is primarily attributable to an increase in investment costs offset by an increase in capitalization costs. R&D expenses as a percentage of revenues decreased to 8% for the three months ended September 30, 2021 from 11% for the same period in 2020.

R&D expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 were $3,972, a decrease of $384, or 9%, from $4,356 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The decrease in R&D expense is primarily attributable to an increase in investment costs offset by an increase in capitalization costs. R&D expenses as a percentage of revenues decreased to 7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 from 9% for the same period in 2020.

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

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

Amortization of Intangible Assets

Amortization expense in operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was $2,534, an increase of $110, or 5%, from $2,424 for the three months ended September 30, 2020.

Income and loss from operations as a percentage of total revenues was 30% and 30% for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

We generated income from operations of $7,494, or $0.39 per share, during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to a loss from operations of $10,470, or $0.66 per share, during the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

We intend to continue to implement our corporate strategy for growing our software and services business by investing in areas that directly generate revenue and positive cash flows for the Company. However, uncertainties and challenges remain, including the effects of COVID-19, inflation and supply chain disruptions, and there can be no assurance that we can successfully grow our revenues or achieve profitability during the remainder of fiscal year 2021.

Working Capital. We had working capital of $17,356 at September 30, 2021, an increase of $9,148 from working capital of $8,208 at December 31, 2020. Working capital as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 includes $1,501 and $4,416 of short-term deferred revenue, respectively. Deferred revenue is an obligation to perform future services. We expect that deferred revenue will convert to future revenue as we perform our services, but this does not represent future payments. Deferred revenue can vary based on seasonality, expiration of initial multi-year contracts and deals that are billed after implementation rather than in advance of service delivery.

These amounts were offset by proceeds from our notes payable of $29,425. Net cash provided by financing activities was $65,494 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, which primarily consisted of a net increase in client fund obligations of $68,441.

Sources of Liquidity. As of September 30, 2021, the Company’s principal sources of liquidity consisted of approximately $11,506 of cash and cash equivalents, cash generated from operations of our business over the next twelve months, and $20,000 available for borrowing under our credit facility with Structural Capital Investments III, LP, which is discussed in Note 5 — Notes Payable, to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

Preparation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of the assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve judgments. The more significant estimates made by management include the valuation allowance for the gross deferred tax assets, 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. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions management believes reasonable under the given circumstances. These estimates could be materially different under different conditions and assumptions. Additionally, the actual amounts could differ from the estimates made. Management periodically evaluates estimates used in the preparation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for continued reasonableness. We make appropriate adjustments, if any, to the estimates used prospectively based upon such periodic evaluation. Information regarding recent accounting pronouncements is provided in Note 2, Significant Accounting Policies, to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Such information is incorporated by reference herein.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Control and Procedures

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports filed or submitted by Asure to the SEC is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported, within the time periods specified by the SEC’s rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to management including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, performed an evaluation to conclude with reasonable assurance that Asure’s disclosure controls and procedures were designed and operating effectively to report the information each company is required to disclose in the reports they file with the SEC on a timely basis. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of Asure have concluded that as of September 30, 2021, disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Change in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

During the period ended September 30, 2021, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Although we have been, and in the future may be, the defendant or plaintiff in various actions arising in the normal course of business, as of September 30, 2021, we were not party to any pending legal proceedings that are material to our business.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

We have updated certain of the risk factors described in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K (the “Risk Factors”) to reflect the termination of our Third Restated Credit Agreement and the entering of the Senior Credit Facility with Structural Capital Investments III, LLP. The Risk Factors, as updated below, should be carefully considered, together with the other information contained or incorporated by reference in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in our other filings with the SEC, in connection with evaluating the Company, our business, and the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Other risks that we do not presently know about or that we presently believe are not material could also adversely affect us. The risk factors described below update the risk factors disclosed in Part I, Item 1A. in our 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K to include additional information, and should be read in conjunction with the risk factors in our 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

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

Acquisitions and investments involve numerous risks, including:

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

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

•diversion of financial and managerial resources from existing operations;

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

•market positions;

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

•potential loss of key employees of the acquired company;

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

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

•difficulty of transitioning the acquired technology onto our existing platforms and customer acceptance of multiple

•platforms on a temporary or permanent basis;

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

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

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

•additional stock based compensation;

•the loss of acquired deferred revenue and unbilled deferred revenue;

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

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

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

•the tax effects of any such acquisitions.

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

Our ability to make scheduled payments on or to refinance our existing indebtedness (including the indebtedness under our Senior Credit Facility with Structural Capital Investments III LP and our subordinated promissory notes) depends on our future performance, which is subject to economic, financial, competitive and other factors that may be beyond our control.

Our business may not generate cash flow from operations in the future sufficient to service our debt and support our growth strategies. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flow, we may be required to pursue one or more alternatives, such as selling assets, restructuring debt or obtaining additional equity capital on terms that may be onerous or dilutive. Our ability to refinance our indebtedness will depend on the capital markets and our financial condition at such time. We may not be able to engage in any of these activities or on desirable terms, which could result in a default on our debt obligations, including under our current debt obligations. In addition, if for any reason we are unable to meet our debt service and repayment obligations, we would be in default under the terms of our Senior Credit Facility with Structural Capital Investments III LP, which would allow our creditors at that time to declare all outstanding indebtedness to be due and payable. Under these circumstances, our lenders could compel us to apply all of our available cash to repay our indebtedness.

Our ability to incur debt and the use of our funds could be limited by the restrictive covenants in our loan agreement for our term loan and revolving credit facility.

Our agreement with Structural Capital Investments III LP provides for a credit facility that contains restrictive covenants, including restrictions on our ability to pay dividends to stockholders, as well as requirements to comply with certain leverage ratios and other financial maintenance tests and stringent requirements around regulatory compliance. These restrictive covenants and requirements limit the amount of borrowings that are available to us. The agreement covenants may also affect our ability to obtain future financing and to pursue attractive business opportunities and our flexibility in planning for, and reacting to, changes in business conditions. These covenants could place us at a disadvantage compared to some of our competitors, who may have fewer restrictive covenants and may not be required to operate under these restrictions.
