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, 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.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for borrowing under our Wells Fargo revolver discussed in Note 6 – Notes Payable. We believe that we have and/or will generate sufficient cashIncome Taxes, which simplifies the accounting for our short- and long-term needs, including meeting the requirements of our term loan, and the related debt covenant requirements. We continue to seek reductions in our expenses as a percentage of revenue on an annual basis and thus may utilize our cash balances in the short-term to reduce long-term costs. Based on current internal projections, we believe that we have and/or will generate sufficient cash for our operational needs, including any required debt payments, for at least the next twelve months from the issuance of the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Management is focused on growing our existing product offering, as well as our customer base, to increase our recurring revenues. We have made and will continue to explore additional strategic acquisitions. We expect to fund any future acquisitions with equity, available cash, future cash from operations, or debt from outside sources.
We cannot assure that we can grow our cash balances or limit our cash consumption and thus maintain sufficient cash balances for our planned operations or future acquisitions. Future business demands may lead to cash utilization at levels greater than recently experienced. We may need to raise additional capital in the future. However, we cannot assure that we will be able to raise additional capital on acceptable terms, or at all. Subjectincome taxes by removing certain exceptions to the foregoing, management believes that we have sufficient capitalgeneral principles in Topic 740. The amendments also improve consistent application of and liquidity to fundsimplify GAAP for other areas of Topic 740 by clarifying and cultivate the growth of our currentamending existing guidance. The standard became effective for interim and future operations for at least the next twelve months from the issuance of these financial statements and to maintain compliance with the terms of our debt agreements and related covenants or to obtain compliance through debt repayments made with the available cash on hand or anticipated for receipt in the ordinary course of operations.

RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

Recently Adopted Standards

In July 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2015-11, “Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory”. Inventory within the scope of this update is required to be measured at the lower of its cost or net realizable value, with net realizable value being the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. This ASU is effective prospectively for fiscal years and interimannual periods beginning after December 15, 2016,2020, with early adoption permitted. We adopted ASU 2019-12 during the provisions of ASU 2015-11 onquarter beginning January 1, 2017. This adoption did not have any impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016,2021, using the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting.”. The purpose of ASU 2016-09 is to simplify the accountingprospective approach except for share-based payment transactions, including the incomehybrid tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification of such activity on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that year. Prospective, retrospective, or modified retrospective application may be used dependent on the specific requirements of the amendments within ASU 2016-09. Effective January 1, 2017, the Companyregimes, which we adopted ASU 2016-09 on a prospective basis. As such, prior periods have not been adjusted.

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

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

Standards Yet To Be Adopted

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

We plan to adopt ASU 2014-09, as well as other clarifications and technical guidance issued by the FASB related to this new revenue standard, on January 1, 2018. We have developed our plan for implementing the new standard, which includes, but is not limited to, identifying contract populations and “in scope” customer contracts, identifying performance obligations in those customer contracts, and evaluating any impact of variable consideration. The Company has evaluated the transition methods and will likely applyusing the modified retrospective transition method, which would resultapproach. The adoption of ASU 2019-12 resulted in an adjustment to retained earnings for the cumulative effect, if any, of applying the standard to contracts that are not completed at the date of initial application. Under this method, we would not restate the prior financial statements presented, therefore the new standard requires us to provide additional disclosures of the amount by which each financial statement line item is affected in the current reporting period during 2018, as comparedno material impact to the guidance that was in effect before the change, and an explanation of the reasons for significant changes, if any.

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


In FebruaryJune 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases2016-13, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 842)”.326): This update establishes a new approach to estimate credit losses on certain financial instruments. The core principleupdate requires financial assets measured at amortized cost to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The amended guidance will also update the impairment model for available-for-sale debt securities, requiring entities to determine whether all or a portion of the unrealized loss on such securities is a credit loss. The Company is currently evaluating this standard is that a lessee should recognizeand the assetspotential effects of these changes to its consolidated financial statements 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 thethis new standard in the first quarterfiscal year beginning January 1, 2023.

2022

Effective January 1, 2022, the Company acquired customer relationships of a payroll business for a cash payment of $1,970, which included $31 of transaction costs, and the delivery of a promissory note in the amount of $411. The acquired customer relationships are currently evaluating the impact ASU 2016-02 will haverecorded as an intangible asset and are being amortized on our consolidated financial statements.a straight-line basis over eight years.


2021

In August 2016,September 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, “StatementCompany acquired certain assets (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) of Cash Flows (Topic 230) Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments”a payroll business, which eliminateswas used to provide payroll processing services. The aggregate purchase price that the diversity in practice related to eight cash flow classification issues.  This ASU is effectiveCompany paid for on January 1, 2018 with early adoption permitted.  We believe its adoption will not significantly impact our consolidated financial statements.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash,” which requires the change in restricted cash or cash equivalents to be included with other changesthese assets was $14,750, paid as follows: (i) $10,325 in cash and cash equivalents inat closing, (ii) the statementdelivery of cash flows. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. We believe its adoption will not significantly impact our consolidated financial statements.

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718) Scope of Modification Accounting,” which clarifies when to account for a change in the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award as a modification. ASU 2017-09 requires modification accounting only if the fair value, the vesting conditions, or the classification244 shares of the award (as equity or liability) changes as a resultCompany’s common stock, which the parties agreed had an aggregate value of the change in terms or conditions. ASU 2017-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. We do not expect the adoption of this accounting standard to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations, cash flows, or presentation thereof.

The aggregated purchase price for these assets was $24,150, paid as follows: (i) $15,000 was paid in cash at closing, (ii) the delivery of 523 shares of the Company’s common stock which both parties agreed had an aggregate value of $4,800 at closing, and (iii) the delivery of a promissory note of $4,350. The promissory note also includes a contingent consideration, which is contingent on certain thresholds and will be based on the trailing twelve-month revenue at September 30, 2022. Additionally, we utilized a Monte Carlo simulation to determine the fair value of the contingent consideration. For the year ended December 31, 2021, there was a measurement period adjustment to the fair value of the contingent consideration of $465. For the quarter ended September 30, 2022, there was a measurement period adjustment to the fair value of the contingent consideration of $404. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 the fair value of the contingent consideration was $671, which will be added to promissory note in the fourth quarter of 2022. The promissory note amount as of September 30, 2022 was $4,080 due to a principal payment made during the period.


NOTE 3 –4 - INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS


Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”)(ASC) 820 Fair“Fair Value Measurements and DisclosuresMeasurement” (ASC 820) defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value inunder U.S. generally accepted accounting principlesGAAP and expandsenhances 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 establishesdescribes a three-tier fair value hierarchy which is based on the reliabilityfollowing three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value, of which the inputs used in measuring fair values. These tiers include: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.

NOTE 4 – ACQUISITIONS
2017(1)See Note 3 — Business Combinations and Asset Acquisitions

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

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

Stock Purchase Agreement

In January 2017, we closed on the acquisition of all of the outstanding shares of common stock (the “Shares”) of Personnel Management Systems, Inc., a Washington corporation (“PMSI”), pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”), among us, PMSI, the sellers identified therein, and the stockholders’ representative named therein. The aggregate consideration for the Shares consisted of (i) $3,875 in cash and (ii) a subordinated promissory note (the “PMSI Note”) in the principal amount of $1,125 subject to adjustment as provided in the Stock Purchase Agreement.

Stock Purchase Agreement

In May 2017, we entered into a stock purchase agreement (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”) with Compass HRM, Inc. (“Compass”) and the sellers and seller representative named therein, pursuant to which the sellers sold 100% of the outstanding shares of capital stock of Compass to us for an aggregate purchase price of $6,000, subject to adjustment as provided in the Stock Purchase Agreement. The aggregate purchase price consists of $4,500 in cash and a subordinated promissory note (“Compass Note”) in the principal amount of $1,500, subject to adjustment. The Compass Note bears interest at an annual rate of 2.0% and matures on May 25, 2022. The Compass Note is payable in five annual installments of $300 on the anniversary of the closing date, subject to adjustment. Compass is headquartered in Tampa, Florida, and provides cloud-based human resource management software, including payroll, benefits, time and attendance, and performance management.
To finance the Compass acquisition, we incurred approximately $4,500 of additional indebtedness pursuant to an additional term loan under our Restated Credit Agreement. See Note 6 –Notes Payable for further details.
Purchase Price Allocation
Following is the purchase price allocation for the 2017 acquisitions. We based the preliminary fair value estimate for the assets acquired and liabilities assumed for these acquisitions upon preliminary calculations and valuations.  Our estimates and assumptions for these acquisition are subject to change as we obtain additional information for our estimates during the respective measurement periods (up to one year from the acquisition date). The primary areas of those preliminary estimates that we have not yet finalized relate to certain tangible assets and liabilities acquired, and income and non-income based taxes.
We recorded the transactions using the acquisition method of accounting and recognized assets and liabilities assumed at their fair value as of the dates of acquisitions. The $24,628 of intangible assets subject to amortization consist of $21,505 allocated to Customer Relationships, $1,521 for Trade Names, $1,010 for Developed Technology, and $592 for Noncompete.  To value the Trade Names, we employed the relief from royalty method under the market approach. For the Noncompetes, we employed a form of the income approach which analyzes the Company’s profitability with these assets in place, in contrast to the Company’s profitability without them. For the Customer Relationships and Developed Technology, we employed a form of the excess earnings method, which is a form of the income approach. The discount rate used in valuing these assets ranged from 14.0% to 17.0%, which reflects the risk associated with the intangible assets related to the other assets and the overall business operations to us. We estimated the fair values of the Trade Names using the relief from royalty method based upon a 1.7% royalty rate.  

We believe significant synergies are expected to arisefrom these strategic acquisitions. This factor contributed to a purchase price that was in excess of the fair value of the net assets acquired and, as a result, we recorded goodwill for each acquisition. A portion of acquired goodwill will be deductible for tax purposes.

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

2016 Acquisitions

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

Stock Purchase Agreement

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

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

Purchase Price Allocation

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

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

We believe significant synergies are expected to arisefrom this strategic acquisition. This factor contributed to a purchase price that was in excess of the fair value of the net assets acquired and, as a result, we recorded goodwill. A portion of acquired goodwill will be deductible for tax purposes.

We believe significant synergies are expected to arise from our strategic acquisitions and their assembled work forces. This factor contributed to a purchase price that was in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations.  We recorded the amount exceedingexcess of the fair value of the net assets acquired at the dateand, as a result, we recorded goodwill for each acquisition. A portion of acquisition as goodwill. We recorded intangible assets apart fromacquired goodwill if the assets had contractual or other legal rights or if the assets couldwill be separated and sold, transferred, licensed, rented or exchanged. Asure’s goodwill relates to the following acquisitions: ADI and Legiant in 2011, PeopleCube in 2012, FotoPunch and Roomtag in 2014, Mangrove in 2016, PMSI, CPI and PSNW in January 2017, and iSystems and Compass in May 2017. 

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

In accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other, we review and evaluate our long-lived assets, including intangible assets with finite lives, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that we may not recover their net book value. We test goodwill for impairment on an annual basis in the fourth fiscal quarter of each year, and between annual tests, if indicators of potential impairment exist, using a fair-value-based approach. There2022, there has been no impairment of goodwill forbased on the periods presented. We amortize intangible assets not considered to have an indefinite useful life usingqualitative assessments performed by the straight-line method over their estimated periodCompany.

NOTE 9 –10 - NET LOSS PER SHARE

We compute net loss per share based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net loss per share reflects the maximum dilution that would have resulted from incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options. We compute the number of common share equivalents, which includes stock options, using the treasury stock method. We have excluded stock options to acquire 904,000 sharesand restricted stock units of 2,285 and 2,040 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017,2022 and 452,000 shares for the nine months ended September 30, 20162021, respectively, from the computation of the dilutive stock optionsdiluted shares because the effect of including the stock options and restricted stock units would have been anti-dilutive.

Asure is a leading global provider of cloud-based Human Capital Management (“HCM”) software and services. We help small and medium-sized businesses (“SMBs”) 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”) time and labor management and Agile Workplace management solutions that enable companies of all sizes and complexitiesfor SMBs. From recruitment to operate more efficiently and proactively manage costs associated with their most expensive assets: real estate, labor and technology.

We currently offer two main product lines, AsureSpace™ and AsureForce®.  Our AsureSpace™ Agile Workplace management solutions enable organizations to manage their office environments and optimize real estate utilization.  Our AsureForce® time and labor managementretirement, our solutions help organizations optimize labor and labor administration costs and activities. With our acquisitions of Mangrove Employer Services, Inc. and the assets of Mangrove COBRAsource Inc. in March 2016, we have entered into the human resource management, payroll processing and benefits administration services businesses, which we are integrating into our existing AsureForce® product line. In January 2017, we closed three strategic acquisitions: Personnel Management Systems, Inc., a provider of outsourced HR solutions; Corporate Payroll, Inc. (Payroll Division), a provider of payroll services; and Payroll Specialties NW, Inc., a provider of payroll services. In May 2017, we closed two strategic acquisitions: iSystems, LLC and Compass HRM. iSystems LLC, through its flagship product, Evolution HCM, offers payroll, tax management and HR software combined with comprehensive back-end service bureau tools to service providersmore than 80,000 SMBs across the United States. Tampa-based Compass HRM is a current resellerStates grow their businesses. About 15,000 of our clients are direct and approximately 65,000 remaining clients are indirect as they have contracts with Reseller Partners that white label our solutions.

We strive to be the most trusted HCM offering (formerly Mangrove), which providesresource 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 resources solutionsand 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 that enhance organizations, people,resulted in federal, state and profits through payrolllocal government imposed restrictions that have since been lifted. As of June 1, 2021, we have opened our offices and HR solutions. The acquisitionresumed in person work. We continue to take proactive measures, including regular cleaning of Compass HRM expandsthe 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 reachbusiness operations as may be required by federal, state or local authorities or that we determine are in the Southeast, particularly Florida. 

For both product lines, support and professional services are other key elementsbest interests of our softwareemployees and services business. As an extension of our perpetual software product offerings, Asure offers our customers maintenance and support contracts that provide ready accessclients.

In 2022, we continue to qualified support staff, software patches and upgrades to our software products.   We also provide installation of and training on our products, add-on software customization and other professional services on a global scale.
We target ouraggressively 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 other pandemic-related factors, which had 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 quarter ended September 30, 2022. 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.

We are unable to estimate the continuing 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 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Recurring Revenues

Recurring revenues include fees for 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® offerspayroll, 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 help organizations optimize labormay 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 labor administration coststhe delivery of checks and activities. Both product groupings include cloud revenue, hardware revenue, maintenance and support revenue,reports that are levied on premise software license revenue and professionala per-employee basis, our recurring revenues increase as our clients hire more employees. Recurring revenues are recognized in the period services revenue. AsureSpace™are rendered.

Recurring revenues include PeopleCube, Meeting Room Managerrevenues relating to the annual processing of payroll forms, such as Form W-2 and Roomtag revenues. AsureForce®Form 1099, and revenues include ADI, Legiant, iEmployee, FotoPunch, Mangrove, iSystemsfrom processing unscheduled payroll runs (such as bonuses) for our clients. Because payroll forms are typically processed in the first quarter of the year and Compass revenues.many of our clients are subject to form filing requirements mandated by the 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. Over time, 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.

Deferred revenue is an obligation to perform future services. We expect that deferred revenue will convert to future revenue as we perform our services, but this does not represent future payments. Deferred revenue can vary based on seasonality, expiration of initial multi-year contracts and deals that are billed after implementation rather than in advance of service delivery. We attribute the increase in our working capital to the issuance of stock in an underwritten public offering and proceeds from notes payable, offset by the acquisitions of PMSI, CPI and PSNW in the first quarter of 2017 and the acquisitions of iSystems and Compass in the second quarter of 2017.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

There were no material changesWe have prepared our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and included the accounts of our wholly owned subsidiaries. We have eliminated all significant intercompany transactions and balances in the consolidation. Preparation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of the assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at fiscal year-end and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the fiscal year. The more significant estimates made by management include the valuation allowance for our gross deferred tax asset, the determination of the fair value of our long-lived assets. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that management believes are reasonable under the given circumstances. These estimates could be materially different under different conditions and assumptions. Additionally, the actual amounts could differ from the estimates made. Management periodically evaluates estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements for continued reasonableness. We prospectively apply appropriate adjustments, if any, to our estimates based upon our periodic evaluation. For a description of our critical accounting policies, and estimates since December 31, 2016.  For additional information on critical accounting policies, refer to “Management’ssee Management’s Discussion and Analysis”Analysis in our 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K.10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.
