NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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

NOTE 1 – THE COMPANY AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

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

We have prepared the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and accordingly, they do not include all information and footnotes required under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, these interim financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal, recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, and the cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014.

You should read these condensed consolidated financial statements in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014. The results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for a full fiscal year.

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

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

LIQUIDITY

As of September 30, 2015, Asure’s principal sources of liquidity consisted of approximately $122 of cash and cash equivalents and future cash generated from operations. We believe that we have and/or will generate sufficient cash for our short- and long-term needs, including meeting the requirements of our term loan, and the related debt covenant requirements. We continue to seek reductions in our expenses as a percentage of revenue on an annual basis and thus may utilize our cash balances in the short-term to reduce long-term costs. Based on current internal projections, we believe that we have and/or will generate sufficient cash for our operational needs, including any required debt payments, for at least the next twelve months.

Management is focused on growing our existing product offering, as well as our customer base, to increase our recurring revenues. We are also exploring additional strategic acquisitions in the near future, although we have no agreements to make any acquisition at this time. We expect to fund any future acquisitions with equity, available cash, future cash from operations, or debt from outside sources.

We cannot assure that we can grow our cash balances or limit our cash consumption and thus maintain sufficient cash balances for our planned operations or future acquisitions. Future business demands may lead to cash utilization at levels greater than recently experienced. We may need to raise additional capital in the future. However, we cannot assure that we will be able to raise additional capital on acceptable terms, or at all. Subject to the foregoing, management believes that we have sufficient capital and liquidity to fund and cultivate the growth of our current and future operations for at least the next 12 months and to maintain compliance with the terms of our debt agreements and related covenants or to obtain compliance through debt repayments made with the available cash on hand or anticipated for receipt in the ordinary course of operations.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Accounting Standards Codification “ASC” Topic 606). The purpose of this ASU is to converge revenue recognition requirements per GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The amendments in this ASU are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption not permitted by the FASB; however, in August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date after public comment respondents supported a proposal to delay the effective date of this ASU to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. We are currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, "Interest—Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs ("ASU 2015-03"). ASU 2015-03 requires debt issuance costs to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the associated debt liability, consistent with the presentation of a debt discount. Prior to the issuance of the standard, debt issuance costs were required to be presented in the balance sheet as an asset. The Company is currently assessing the impact that adopting this new accounting guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures. ASU 2015-03 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Accordingly, the standard is effective for the Company on January 1, 2016.

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

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

CONTINGENCIES

In February 2014, we reached an agreement to settle all claims and dismiss all pending litigation with PeopleCube Holding B.V. and Meeting Maker Holding B.V., the sellers of the capital stock of Meeting Maker – United States, Inc. (dba PeopleCube) that we purchased in July 2012.

Under the settlement agreement, the parties agreed to dismiss the litigation and we settled the remaining balance due by us of $2,460 on the Subordinated Notes Payable: PeopleCube Acquisition Note for $1,700. Separately, our insurance carrier agreed to pay us $500 in conjunction with the settlement. With the insurance proceeds and after offsetting any related litigation and other settlement costs incurred in 2014 of $226, we recorded a net gain of $1,034 on the settlement in the first quarter of 2014. We paid this note in full in the first quarter of 2014. Finally, as part of the original purchase price in the Meeting Maker acquisition, we issued 255,000 shares of our common stock subject to a lockup that expired as to 125,000 shares in June 2013 and 130,000 shares in June 2014. This settlement also removed the lockup for the remaining 130,000 shares.

Although Asure has been, and in the future may be, the defendant or plaintiff in various actions arising in the normal course of business, as of September 30, 2015, we were not party to any pending legal proceedings.

NOTE 3 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

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

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

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 measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively:

			Fair Value Measure at September 30, 2015
	Total		Quoted		Significant
	Carrying		Prices		Other		Significant
	Value at		in Active		Observable		Unobservable
	September 30,		Market		Inputs		Inputs
Description	2015		(Level 1)		(Level 2)		(Level 3)

Liabilities:
Contingent consideration		327	$	-	$	-	$	327
Total	$	327	$	-	$	-	$	327

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

Contingent consideration

In connection with the acquisition of FotoPunch, Inc. (“FotoPunch”) in July 2014, we recorded contingent consideration based upon the expected achievement of certain milestone goals. We will record any changes to the fair value of contingent consideration due to changes in assumptions used in preparing the valuation model in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Loss. The balance at September 30, 2015 was $262, adjusted from the original amount of $327 after the valuation was finalized in the first quarter of 2015.

Table of Contents

ASURE SOFTWARE, INC.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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

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

Significant changes in any of the unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of contingent consideration in isolation could result in a significantly lower or higher fair value. A change in projected revenue growth rates would be accompanied by a directionally similar change in fair value. Management evaluates the fair value on a quarterly basis based upon updated projections. There has been no change to the fair value as of September 30, 2015.

NOTE 4 – ACQUISITIONS

2014 Acquisitions

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

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

The $3,000 earnout is payable over three earnout periods (with the first, second and third periods ending June 30, 2015, June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2018, respectively) based on the FotoPunch operations achieving specified target revenues in an earnout period. At least 75% of the target revenues must be achieved in the first and second earnout periods and at least 50% of the target revenues must be achieved in the third earnout period. The earnout (“contingent consideration”) was recorded in Accrued Expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet with an estimated fair value of $327 at the date of acquisition. No earnout consideration was payable as of June 30, 2015. The fair value at September 30, 2015 was $262, adjusted from the original amount of $327 after the valuation was finalized in the first quarter of 2015.

The purchase price was allocated based upon fair value, as follows: net assets of ($1); technology of $440; and goodwill of $1,388. The fair value of technology was determined using the income approach.

In August 2014, Asure acquired substantially all the assets of Roomtag, LLC (“Roomtag”). The aggregate consideration for the assets consisted of (i) $933 in cash and (ii) an unsecured subordinated promissory note (“Note”) for $754. We funded the $933 cash payment with proceeds from our credit agreement with Wells Fargo. The Note bears interest at an annual rate of 0.36% and is payable on October 31, 2016. We recorded the Note at fair value using a discount rate of 5%, which resulted in an original issue discount of $73, which will accrete up the note to its aggregate principal amount over the course of the life of the loan using the effective interest method. In August 2015, we paid $722 in full payment of this Note, after applying a 5% discount.

2012 Acquisition

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

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

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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

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

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

NOTE 5 – GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Asure accounted for its historical acquisitions in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations. We recorded the amount exceeding the fair value of net assets acquired at the date of acquisition as goodwill. We recorded intangible assets apart from goodwill if the assets had contractual or other legal rights or if the assets could be separated and sold, transferred, licensed, rented or exchanged. Asure’s goodwill relates to the acquisitions of ADI and Legiant in 2011, the acquisition of PeopleCube in 2012 and the acquisitions of FotoPunch and Roomtag in 2014.

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

The following table summarizes the changes in our goodwill:

Balance at December 31, 2014	$	17,500
Adjustments to goodwill		(60	)

Balance at September 30, 2015	$	17,438

Subordinated Notes Payable: Roomtag Acquisition Note

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

In August 2015, we paid $722 to retire this Note in full, after applying a 5% discount.

Term Loan - Wells Fargo

In March 2014, we entered into a Credit Agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and the lenders that are party thereto. We used the proceeds of the term loan to finance the repayment of all amounts outstanding under our loan agreement with Deerpath and the payment of certain fees, cost and expenses related to the Credit Agreement.

The Credit Agreement provides for a term loan in the amount of $15,000. The term loan will mature in March 2019. The outstanding principal amount of the term loan is payable as follows:

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

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

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

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

The Credit Agreement also provides for a revolving loan commitment in the aggregate amount of up to $3,000. The outstanding principal amount of the revolving loan is due and payable in March 2019. Additionally, the Credit Agreement provides for a $10,000 uncommitted incremental term loan facility to support permitted acquisitions. In July 2014, we borrowed $1,500 under the revolver, which was used to fund a portion of the acquisition cost of all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of FotoPunch, Inc. In August 2014, we borrowed $1,000 under the revolver which was used to fund a portion of the acquisition cost of substantially all the assets of Roomtag, LLC. We repaid the balance on the revolver in 2014, leaving a balance of $0 at December 31, 2014. As of September 30, 2015, $0 was outstanding and $0 was available for borrowing under the revolver.

The term loan and revolving loan will bear interest, at our option, at (i) the greater of 1% or LIBOR, plus an applicable margin or (ii) a base rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus an applicable margin. We have elected to use the LIBOR rate plus the applicable margin, which was has remained constant at 5% since the inception of the loan. Interest is payable quarterly and the margin varies based upon our leverage ratio. See table below of applicable margin rates as of September 30, 2015.

Total Leverage Ratio	Base Rate Margin			LIBOR Rate Margin
> 2.75:1.0		3.00	%		4.00	%
< 2.75:1.0 but > 2.25:1.0		2.50	%		3.50	%
< 2.25:1.0		2.00	%		3.00	%

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

Total Leverage Ratio	Base Rate Margin			LIBOR Rate Margin
> 3.25:1.0		3.50	%		4.50	%
< 3.25:1.0 but > 2.75:1.0		3.00	%		4.00	%
< 2.75:1.0 but > 2.25:1.0		2.50	%		3.50	%
< 2.25:1.0		2.00	%		3.00	%

We may voluntarily prepay the principal amount outstanding under the revolving loan at any time without penalty or premium. However, we must pay a premium if we make a voluntary prepayment of outstanding principal under the term loan during the first two years following the closing date or if we are required to prepay outstanding principal under the Credit Agreement with proceeds resulting from certain asset sales or debt incurrence. The premium is 1% or 0.5% of the principal amount being prepaid depending on whether the prepayment occurs on or before the first anniversary of the closing date or subsequent to the first anniversary date through the second anniversary of the closing date. In addition, we are required to repay outstanding principal on an annual basis with 50% of excess cash flow, certain over advances, asset sale proceeds, debt proceeds, and proceeds from judgments and settlements. As of September 30, 2015, none of these payments were due.

Under the Credit Agreement, we were required to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.5 to 1.0 beginning with the quarter ending June 30, 2014 and each calendar quarter thereafter, and a leverage ratio of not greater than 3.5 to 1.0 beginning with the quarter ending June 30, 2014 with the levels stepping down thereafter. We amended the Credit Agreement in August 2014, March 2015 and November 2015. The August 2014 amendment revised the leverage ratio beginning with the quarter ending September 30, 2014 to a leverage ratio of not greater than 3.6 to 1.0 with the levels stepping down thereafter. The March 2015 amendment authorized us to optionally prepay, subject to specified conditions, the Subordinated Note Payable to Roomtag and revised the leverage ratio beginning with the quarter ended March 31, 2015 to a leverage ratio of not greater than 3.5 to 1.0 with the levels stepping down thereafter. The November 2015 amendment increased the applicable margin relative to the LIBOR rate upon which we compute the interest payable. We agreed that if our leverage ratio is (a) less than or equal to 2.25:1, (b) greater than 2.25:1 but less than or equal to 2.75:1, (c) greater than 2.75:1 but less than or equal to 3.25:1 or (d) greater than 3.25:1, the applicable margin relative to the LIBOR rate would be 3.00, 3.50, 4.00 or 4.50 percentage points, respectively. We further agreed that until the leverage ratio testing period ending September 30, 2016, we will pay interest based on the 4.50 percentage point margin level.

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

As of September 30, 2015, we were current on our payments under the Credit Agreement, but were not in compliance with our leverage ratio and fixed charge coverage ratio covenants. As a result of entering into the November 2015 amendment, the lenders waived this non-compliance. With this, we expect to be in compliance during the next twelve months with our debt covenants and with our payment obligations, in the latter case using our available cash on hand or as expected to be generated from operations.

The Credit Agreement contains customary events of default, including, among others, payment defaults, covenant defaults, judgment defaults, bankruptcy and insolvency events, cross defaults to certain indebtedness, incorrect representations or warranties, and change of control. In some cases, the defaults are subject to customary notice and grace period provisions.

In March 2014 and in connection with the Credit Agreement, we and our wholly-owned active subsidiaries entered into a Guaranty and Security Agreement with Wells Fargo Bank. Under the Guaranty and Security Agreement, we and each of our wholly-owned active subsidiaries have guaranteed all obligations under the Credit Agreement and granted a security interest in substantially all of our and our subsidiaries’ assets.

NOTE 7 – SHARE BASED COMPENSATION

Share based compensation for our stock option plans for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 were $237 and $50, respectively, and $335 and $131 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. We issued 0 shares of common stock related to exercises of stock options granted from our Stock Option Plan for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 1,500 shares of common stock for the three months ended September 30, 2014, respectively.

Asure has one active equity plan, the 2009 Equity Plan (the “2009 Plan”). The 2009 Plan provides for the issuance of non-qualified and incentive stock options to our employees and consultants. We generally grant stock options with exercise prices greater than or equal to the fair market value at the time of grant. The options generally vest over three to four years and are exercisable for a period of five to ten years beginning with date of grant. Our shareholders approved an amendment to the 2009 Plan in June 2014 to increase the number of shares reserved under the plan from 1,200,000 to 1,400,000. We have a total of 684,000 options granted and outstanding pursuant to the 2009 Plan as of September 30, 2015.

NOTE 8 – OTHER COMPREHENSIVE LOSS

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

NOTE 9 – NET LOSS PER SHARE

We compute net loss per share based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net loss per share reflects the maximum dilution that would have resulted from incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options. We compute the number of common share equivalents, which includes stock options, using the treasury stock method. We have excluded stock options to acquire 114,000 and 684,000 shares for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively, and 209,000 and 728,000 shares for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, from the computation of the dilutive stock options because the effect of including the stock options would have been anti-dilutive.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net loss per common share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014:

	For the Three Months					For the Nine Months

Table of Contents

Revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2015 was $6,654, a decrease of $376 or 5.3%, from the $7,030 reported for the three months ended September 30, 2014. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in professional services revenue and maintenance and support revenue, offset by a smaller increase in hardware revenue. AsureSpace™ revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2015 was $4,083, a decrease of $317 or 7.2%, from the $4,400 recorded for the three months ended September 30, 2014. The majority of the decrease was in professional services and maintenance and support revenues. Professional services revenue decreased $181 or 20.6% and maintenance and support revenue decreased $124 or 11.6% as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2014. These were offset by an increase in cloud revenue of $96 or 5.5%. We continue to emphasize the sale of integrated cloud based solutions. AsureForce® revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2015 was $2,571, a decrease of $59 or 2.2%, from the $2,630 recorded for the three months ended September 30, 2014. This decrease was primarily in cloud revenue with a decrease of $123 or 7.3% as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2014. Hardware revenue increased $148 or 69.0% as we increased our focus on hardware sales along with software sales.

Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was $20,145, an increase of $40 or 0.2%, from the $20,105 reported for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. This increase was primarily due to an increase in hardware revenue, offset by decreases in maintenance and support revenue and professional services revenue. AsureSpace™ revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was $12,114, an increase of $81 or 0.7%, from the $12,033 recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. This increase was primarily due to an increase in cloud revenue and hardware revenue, offset by decreases in maintenance and support, on premise software license and professional services revenue. AsureForce® revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was $8,032, a decrease of $40 or 0.5%, from the $8,072 recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. On premise software license and hardware revenue increased by $235 or 91.5% and $272 or 36.4%, respectively, offset by a decrease in cloud revenue of $396 or 7.8%, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

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

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

Gross Margin

Consolidated gross margin for the three months ended September 30, 2015 was $4,904, a decrease of $531, or 9.8%, from the $5,435 reported for the three months ended September 30, 2014. Gross margin as a percentage of revenues was 73.7% and 77.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Consolidated gross margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was $14,864, a decrease of $715, or 4.6%, from the $15,579 reported for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Gross margins as a percentage of revenues were 73.8% and 77.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The decrease in gross margin percentage is primarily due to a shift in the mix of our revenue between our higher margin and lower margin product lines.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2015 were $3,866, an increase of $313 or 8.8%, from the $3,553 reported for the three months ended September 30, 2014. SG&A expenses as a percentage of revenues were 58.1% and 50.5% for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

SG&A expenses as a percentage of revenues were 54.2% and 51.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

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

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development (“R&D”) expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2015 were $786, a decrease of $82, or 9.4%, from the $868 reported for the three months ended September 30, 2014. R&D expenses as a percentage of revenues were 11.8% and 12.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

R&D expenses as a percentage of revenues were 11.3% and 12.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

The decrease in both quarter and year to date R&D expenses is due to higher expenses incurred in 2014 from increased headcount and the related placement fees, as well as severance expense for another employee recorded in the second quarter of 2014. The placement fees and severance expenses incurred in 2014 resulted in a decrease as compared to 2015 R&D expenses quarter and year to date in 2015.

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

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

We intend to continue to implement our corporate strategy for growing the software and services business by modestly investing in areas that directly generate revenue and positive cash flows for the Company. However, uncertainties and challenges remain and there can be no assurance that we can successfully grow our revenues or achieve profitability during the remainder of fiscal year 2015.

Working Capital. We had a working capital deficit of $8,307 at September 30, 2015, an increase in our deficit of $993, or 13.6%, from the $7,314 deficit at December 31, 2014. The working capital deficit at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 includes $10,125 and $10,641 of deferred revenue, respectively. Deferred revenue is an obligation to perform future services. We expect that deferred revenue will convert to reportable future revenue as we perform our services, but this does not represent future payments. Deferred revenue can vary based on seasonality, expiration of initial multi-year contracts and deals that are billed after implementation rather than in advance of service delivery. We attribute the increase in our working capital deficit to an increase in accounts payable of $559, an increase in accrued compensation and benefits of $110, an increase in other accrued liabilities of $190 together with a decrease in accounts receivable of $1,047, offset by an increase in inventory of $530, and a decrease in deferred revenue of $516.

Operating Activities. Cash provided by operating activities was $1,993 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. The $1,993 of cash provided by operating activities during the first nine months of 2015 was primarily driven by net income (after adjustment for non-cash items) of $1,799, a decrease in accounts receivable of $977, and an increase in accounts payable of $542 and accrued expenses of $354. This was offset by an increase in inventory of $530, an increase in prepaid expenses and other assets of $927, and a decrease in deferred revenue of $222. The $1,671 of cash provided by operating activities during the first nine months of 2014 was primarily driven by the net income (after adjustment for non-cash items) of $2,289, a decrease in accounts receivable of $182, an increase in accrued expenses and other long-term obligations of $150 and the release of restricted cash of $400, offset by a decrease in deferred revenue of $1,015, and an increase in inventory and prepaid expense and other assets of $241 and $122, respectively.

Investing Activities. Cash used in investing activities was $1,272 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 due primarily to net purchases of property and equipment. Cash used in investing activities was $3,449 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 due primarily to the acquisitions of FotoPunch and Roomtag in the third quarter of 2014.

Financing Activities. Cash provided by financing activities was $914 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. We incurred $4,250 of debt and collected $585 of net proceeds from exercise of stock options. This was offset by note payments of $5,527, payments on capital leases of $147, and debt financing fees of $75. Cash used in financing activities was $520 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. We incurred $18,179 of debt, as well as received cash of $373 from insurance proceeds for settlement of notes payable, net of expenses. This was offset by note payments of $17,723, payments on amendment of senior notes payable of $704, and debt financing fees of $565.

Sources of Liquidity. As of September 30, 2015, Asure’s principal sources of liquidity consisted of approximately $122 of cash and cash equivalents and future cash generated from operations. We believe that we have and/or will generate sufficient cash for our short- and long-term needs. Based on current internal projections, we believe that we have and/or will generate sufficient cash for our operational needs, including any required debt payments, for at least the next twelve months. We currently project that we can generate positive cash flows from our operating activities for at least the next twelve months.

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

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