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”) and Workspace Management, offering intuitive and innovative cloud-based solutions designed to help organizations of all sizes and complexities build companies of the future. Our cloud platform enables clients worldwide to better manage their people and space in a mobile, digital, multi-generational, and global landscape. Asure’s offerings include a fully-integrated HCM platform, flexible benefits and compliance administration, Human Resources (“HR”) consulting, and time and labor management as well as a full suite of workspace management solutions for conference room scheduling, desk sharing programs, and real estate optimization. We develop, market, sell and support our offerings worldwide through our principal office in Austin, Texas and through additional offices in Alabama, California, Florida, Massachusetts, Michigan, Nebraska, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, Tennessee, Vermont, Washington, and the United Kingdom.

Effective January 1, 2019, we acquired all of the equity interests of Payroll Maxx LLC, a payroll processing company based in Omaha, Nebraska and a licensee of our Evolution software.

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 ("U.S. GAAP") for complete financial statements. Certain reclassifications were made to conform to the current period presentation in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive loss. These reclassifications include a change in the presentation of revenues.

In the opinion of management, these interim financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal, recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position as of March 31, 2019, the results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018, and our statement of changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018.

These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read 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, 2018. 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 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 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 reporting period. 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 the Company 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 consolidated financial statements for continued reasonableness. We make appropriate adjustments, if any, to the estimates used prospectively based upon such periodic evaluation.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Recently Adopted Standards

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)”. The core principle of the standard is that a lessee should recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from leases. A lessee should recognize in its statement of financial position a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use ("ROU") asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. Additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures are also required. We adopted the standard on January 1, 2019, utilizing the cumulative-effect adjustment transition method,

ASURE SOFTWARE, INC.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

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

which applies the provisions of the standard at the effective date without adjusting the comparative periods presented. Upon adoption, we did not record an adjustment to our beginning accumulated deficit.

In addition, we adopted the following additional practical expedients available for implementation:

•An entity need not reassess whether any existing or expired contracts are or contain leases;

•An entity need not reassess lease classification for any existing or expired leases; and

•An entity need not reassess initial direct costs for any existing leases.

The standard did not materially impact operating results or liquidity. We recognized lease liabilities of approximately $8,900 on January 1, 2019. A right-of-use asset of approximately $8,200 was recognized based on the lease liability, adjusted for the reclassification of deferred rent and lease incentive of approximately $680. The standard has no impact on the timing or classification of our cash flows as reported in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. Our accounting for finance leases remained substantially unchanged. Disclosures related to this standard are included in Note 7, Leases.

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-02, “Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income”, which provides entities the option to reclassify tax effects stranded in accumulated other comprehensive income as a result of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“the Tax Act”) to retained earnings. We adopted the standard effective January 1, 2019. The adoption of this accounting standard did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations, cash flows, or presentation thereof.

Standards Yet To Be Adopted

The FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820). The new guidance modifies disclosure requirements related to fair value measurement. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Implementation on a prospective or retrospective basis varies by specific disclosure requirement. Early adoption is permitted. The standard also allows for early adoption of any removed or modified disclosures upon issuance of this ASU while delaying adoption of the additional disclosures until their effective date. We plan to adopt this standard at the effective date and do not expect any material impact from adoption.

The FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40). The new guidance reduces complexity for the accounting for costs of implementing a cloud computing service arrangement and aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal use software license). For public companies, the amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. Implementation should be applied either retrospectively or prospectively to all implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption. The effects of this standard on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows are not expected to be material.

LEASES

At the commencement date of a lease, we recognize a liability to make lease payments and an asset representing the right to use the underlying asset during the lease term. The lease liability is measured at the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As our leases typically do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date taking into consideration necessary adjustments for collateral, depending on the facts and circumstances of the lessee and the leased asset, and term to match the lease term. The ROU asset is measured at cost, which includes the initial measurement of the lease liability and initial direct costs incurred by the Company and excludes lease incentives. Lease liabilities are recorded in other current liabilities and other non-current liabilities. ROU assets are recorded in other assets, net.

Lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Operating lease costs are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Lease agreements that contain both lease and non-lease components are generally accounted for separately.

CONTINGENCIES

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 March 31, 2019, we were not party to any pending legal proceedings.

NOTE 3 – INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, $4,490 and $4,256, respectively, of Funds Held for Clients were invested in short-term available-for-sale securities consisting of government and commercial bonds, including mortgage backed securities. As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we also had $29,859 and $0, respectively, of Funds Held for Clients invested in money market funds. At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we also had $13,932 and $8,111, respectively, in money market funds, classified as cash equivalents.

Investments classified as short-term available-for-sale consisted of the following:



	Amortized Cost		Gross Unrealized Gains ⁽¹⁾		Gross Unrealized Losses ⁽¹⁾			Aggregate Estimated Fair Value
March 31, 2019:
Corporate debt securities -Funds Held for Clients ⁽²⁾	$	4,542	$	34	$	(86	)	$	4,490
December 31, 2018:
Corporate debt securities -Funds Held for Clients ⁽²⁾	$	4,334	$	21	$	(99	)	$	4,256

(1)

Unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities are included as a component of comprehensive loss. At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, there were 26 securities in an unrealized gain position and there were 32 securities in an unrealized loss position. As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, these unrealized losses were less than $25 individually and $52 and $78 in the aggregate, respectively. These securities have not been in a continuous unrealized gain or loss position for more than 12 months. The Company does not intend to sell these investments and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell these investments before recovery of their amortized cost basis, which may be at maturity. The Company reviews its investments to identify and evaluate investments that have an indication of 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 the Company’s intent and ability to hold the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in market value.


(2)	At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, none of these securities were classified as cash and cash equivalents on the Company’s balance sheet.

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.

Term Loan - Wells Fargo

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. 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.

Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement

In March 2018, we entered into a second amended and restated credit agreement (the “Second Restated Credit Agreement”) with Wells Fargo, and the lenders that are parties thereto, amending and restating the terms of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of May 2017.

ASURE SOFTWARE, INC.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

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

The Second Restated Credit Agreement provides for a total of $175,000 in available financing consisting of (a) $105,000 in the aggregate principal amount of term loans; (b) a $5,000 line of credit; (c) a $25,000 delayed draw term loan commitment for the financing of permitted acquisitions, which is a new financing option for us; and (d) a $40,000 accordion. The accordion allows us to increase the amount of financing we receive from our lenders at our option. Financing under the delayed draw term loan commitment and accordion are subject to certain conditions as described in the Second Restated Credit Agreement.

The Second Restated Credit Agreement amends the applicable margin rates for determining the interest rate payable on the loans as follows:



Leverage Ratio	First Out Revolver Base Rate Margin	First Out Revolver LIBOR Rate Margin	First Out TL Base Rate Margin	First Out TL LIBOR Rate Margin	Last Out Base Rate Margin	Last Out LIBOR Rate Margin
≤ 3.25:1	4.25 percentage points	5.25 percentage points	1.75 percentage points	2.75 percentage points	6.75 percentage points	7.75 percentage points
> 3.25:1	4.75 percentage points	5.75 percentage points	2.25 percentage points	3.25 percentage points	7.25 percentage points	8.25 percentage points

The outstanding principal amount of the term loans is payable as follows:


•	$263 beginning on June 30, 2018 and the last day of each fiscal quarter thereafter up to March 31, 2020, plus an additional amount equal to 0.25% of the principal amount of all delayed draw term loans;


•	$656 beginning on June 30, 2020 and the last day of each fiscal quarter thereafter up to March 31, 2021, plus an additional amount equal to 0.625% of the principal amount of all delayed draw term loans; and


•	$1,313 beginning on June 30, 2021 and the last day of each fiscal quarter thereafter, plus an additional amount equal to 1.25% of the principal amount of all delayed draw term loans.

The outstanding principal balance and all accrued and unpaid interest on the term and revolving loans is due on May 25, 2022.

The Second Restated Credit Agreement also:


•	amended our leverage ratio covenant


•	amended our fixed charge coverage ratio to be not less than 1.25:1 at March 31, 2018 and each quarter-end thereafter; and


•	removed the TTM recurring revenue covenant.

In January 2019, we entered into a Consent and Amendment No. 2 to the Second Restated Credit Agreement (the “Consent and Amendment No. 2”), with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association and Goldman Sachs Specialty Lending Holdings, Inc. Under the terms and conditions of the Consent and Amendment No. 2, the agent and required lenders consented to our acquisition of Payroll Maxx LLC as a “permitted acquisition” and we borrowed a delayed draw term loan in the aggregate amount of $8,000. The Consent and Amendment No. 2 also amends, among other things, our leverage ratio covenant to increase the maximum ratio to 6.00:1 at March 31, 2019, June 30, 2019 and September 30, 2019 and then stepping down each quarter-end thereafter through December 31, 2020.

As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , $283 and $0 was outstanding and $4,717 and $5,000, respectively, was available for borrowing under the revolver.

As of March 31, 2019, we were in compliance with all financial covenants and all payments remain current. We expect to be in compliance with our debt agreements and related covenants over the next twelve months.

Receivables

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

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

Receivables from contracts with customers, net of allowance for doubtful accounts of $1,150 were $13,235 at March 31, 2019. Receivables from contracts with customers, net of allowance for doubtful accounts of $1,467, were $14,291 at December 31, 2018.

Deferred Commissions

Deferred commission costs from contracts with customers were $4,009 and $3,675 at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively and are included in other assets on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet. The amount of amortization recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $345.

Deferred Revenue

Revenue of $5,161 was recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2019 that was included in the deferred revenue balance at the beginning of the period.

Transaction Price Allocated to the Remaining Performance Obligations

As of March 31, 2019, approximately $52,622 of revenue is expected to be recognized from remaining performance obligations. We expect to recognize revenue on approximately 58% of these remaining performance obligations over the next 12 months, with the balance recognized thereafter.

Revenue Concentration

During the three months ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018, there were no customers who individually represented 10% or more of consolidated revenue.

NOTE 7 – LEASES

We have entered into eighteen office space lease agreements, which qualify as operating leases under the Topic 842. Under such leases, the lessors receive annual minimum (base) rent. The leases have original terms (excluding extension options) ranging from one 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 loss, rent expense is included in operating expenses under Selling, general and administrative expenses. Total straight line rent expense and deprecation of the ROU asset for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $665.

As of March 31, 2019, we had lease liabilities of $8,864, of which $1,759 are classified as other current accrued liabilities, and ROU assets of $8,182, which are included in other assets on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet. The current and non-current portions of the lease liabilities are included in other accrued liabilities and other liabilities, respectively, on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet. For purposes of calculating the ROU assets and lease liabilities for such leases, 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. Our incremental borrowing rate of 9.00% is estimated to approximate our interest rate on a collateralized basis with similar terms and payments, using a portfolio approach. The weighted average remaining lease term of leases with a lease liability as of March 31, 2019 is 3.0 years (excluding extension options).

Future minimum commitments over the life of all operating leases, which exclude variable rent payments, are as follows:

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 will 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) 750,000 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 cancelled or otherwise terminate following the effective date of the 2018 Plan. We have 1,630,074 options granted and outstanding and 48,739 shares available for grant pursuant to the 2018 Plan as of March 31, 2019. Subject to stockholder approval at our annual stockholders' meeting on May 29, 2019, our board of directors approved an amendment to the 2018 Plan to increase the number of shares of our common stock authorized for issuance under the 2018 Plan by 600,000, or from 750,000 to 1,350,000 shares.

Share based compensation for our stock option plans for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018 were $611 and $194, respectively. No shares of common stock were issued related to exercises of stock options for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and for the three months ended March 31, 2018, respectively.

NOTE 9 – OTHER COMPREHENSIVE LOSS

Comprehensive income (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 income (loss) includes foreign currency translation adjustments.

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



	Foreign Currency Items			Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss Items			Total Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss Items

NOTE 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 approximately 1,630,000 and 1,010,000 shares for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018, 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 income (loss) per common share for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018:



	Three Months Ended March 31, 2019			Three Months Ended March 31, 2018
Net loss	$	(2,894	)	$	(1,925	)
Weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding	15,405,000			12,583,000

NOTE 11 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Company evaluated subsequent events through the date of the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q with the SEC, to ensure that this filing includes appropriate disclosure of events both recognized in the condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2019, and events which occurred subsequent to March 31, 2019 but were not recognized in the condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company has determined that there were no subsequent events which required recognition, adjustment to or disclosure in the financial statements.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2019 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2018

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



	For the Three Months Ended March 31,
	2019		2018
Revenue	100.0	%	100	%

Revenue

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



	For the Three Months Ended March 31,				Increase (Decrease)
Revenue	2019		2018		Increase (Decrease)		%
Recurring	$	23,561	17,485		$	6,076	34.7
Professional services, hardware and other	3,199		1,819		1,380		75.9
Total revenue	$	26,760	$	19,304	$	7,456	38.6

Total revenue represents our consolidated revenues, including sales of our scheduling software, time and attendance and human resource software, as well as complementary hardware devices to enhance our software products. Recurring revenue consists of cloud revenue, maintenance and support revenue and interest earned on client funds. Professional services, hardware and other revenue consists of hardware revenue, on premise software license revenue as well as installation services and other professional services revenue. Revenue mix varies by product.

Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $26,760, an increase of $7,456, or 38.6%, from the $19,304 reported for the three months ended March 31, 2018. Recurring revenue increased due to an increase in cloud revenue. Cloud revenue increased primarily due to our 2017 and 2018 acquisitions and our continued emphasis on selling integrated cloud based solutions.

Although our total customer base is widely spread across industries, our sales are concentrated in certain industry sectors, including corporate education, healthcare, government, legal and non-profit. We continue to target small and medium sized businesses and divisions of larger enterprises in these same industries as prospective customers. Geographically, we sell our products worldwide, but sales are largely concentrated in the United States, Canada and Europe. Additionally, we have reseller partners in North America, UK, South Africa and Asia Pacific.

In addition to continuing to develop our workforce and Agile Workspace management 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 March 31, 2019 was $18,062, an increase of $4,315, or 31.4%, from the $13,747 reported for the three months ended March 31, 2018. Gross profit increased in line with the increase in revenue. Gross margin as a percentage of revenue was 67.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2019 as compared to 71.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The decrease in gross margin is due to the product mix, with an increase in HCM revenue which typically has lower margins.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses primarily consist of salaries and related expenses, including stock-based expenses, for sales and marketing staff, including commissions, as well as marketing programs, which include events, corporate communications and product marketing activities. SG&A also consists 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. SG&A expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2019 were $12,766, an increase of $2,057, or 19.2%, from the $10,709 reported for the three months ended March 31, 2018. SG&A expenses as a percentage of revenue were 47.7% and 55.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018, respectively.

We continue to expand and increase selling costs as we focus on expanding recognition of our brand, increase our direct sales personnel, as well as continue to invest in a new ERP system and resources to improve the financial reporting process.

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

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development (“R&D”) expenses consist primarily of salaries and related expenses, including stock-based expenses. R&D expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2019 were $2,351, an increase of $928, or 65.2%, from the $1,423 reported for the three months ended March 31, 2018. R&D expenses as a percentage of revenues were 8.8% and 7.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018, respectively.

We continue to expand our technical resources by increasing headcount, strategic partnerships and integration development; introducing new hardware products for 2019; as well as increasing investments into our initiative to migrate platforms to Amazon Web Services (“AWS”). We have also made significant investment outside of core R&D dollars into compliance and certifications, including SOC II Type 2 certifications, GDPR compliance, FedRamp certification (AsureSpace) and other initiatives.

We also continue to enhance our products and technologies through organic improvements as well as through 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 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 enhance our solution suite and integrated platform.

Amortization of Intangible Assets

Amortization expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2019 were $2,781, an increase of $1,184, or 74.1%, from the $1,597 reported for the three months ended March 31, 2018. Amortization expenses as a percentage of revenue were 10.4% and 8.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The increases are due to the amortization recorded on the intangibles acquired in the acquisitions during 2018 and the first quarter of 2019.

Other Income and Expense

Other expense for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $2,754, an increase of $994, or 56.5%, from the $1,760 reported for the three months ended March 31, 2018. Other expense as a percentage of revenue was 10.3% and 9.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018, respectively. Other expense for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018 are composed primarily of interest expense on notes payable.

The increase is primarily comprised of an increase in interest expense due to the higher debt balances resulting from our Second Restated Credit Agreement and debt incurred in connection with our acquisitions in 2018 and 2019.

Income Taxes

Provision for income tax expense was $304 as compared to $183 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, an increase of $121, or 66.1%.

Net Income (Loss)

We incurred a net loss of $2,894, or $(0.19) per share, during the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to net loss of $1,925, or $(0.15) per share, during the three months ended March 31, 2018. Net loss as a percentage of total revenues was 10.8% and 10.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

We intend to continue to implement our corporate strategy for growing our 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 2019.

Working Capital. We had working capital of $7,493 at March 31, 2019, a decrease of $3,950 from working capital of $11,443 at December 31, 2018. Working capital as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 includes $11,357 and $11,849 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.

Operating Activities. Net cash provided by operating activities of $4,247 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was primarily driven by a net loss of $2,894, a decrease in accounts receivable of $1,676, resulting from cash collections in the quarter, an increase in accounts payables of $2,052, and non-cash adjustments to net loss of $4,927, primarily due to higher depreciation and amortization expense. This was offset by an increase in inventory of $925 and a decrease in deferred revenue of $623. Net cash used in operating activities of $896 for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was primarily driven by a net loss of $1,925, an increase in accrued expenses and other long-term obligations of $1,826, an increase in accounts payables of $666 and non-cash adjustments to net loss of $2,748. This was offset by an increase in prepaid expenses and other assets of $2,182, a decrease in deferred revenue of $1,265, and an increase in accounts receivable of $535.

Investing Activities. Net cash provided by investing activities of $3,313 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 is primarily due to the net change in funds held for clients offset by the acquisition of Payroll Maxx in the first quarter of 2019. Net cash used in investing activities of $38,071 for the three months ended March 31, 2018 is primarily due to the acquisitions of TelePayroll, Pay Systems and Savers in January 2018 and the funding of our April 2018 acquisitions, and a decrease in funds held for clients.

Financing Activities. Net cash used in financing activities was $6,402 for the three months ended March 31, 2019. We incurred $8,283 of indebtedness. This was offset by debt financing fees of $1,102 and the net change in client fund obligations of $12,862. Net cash provided by financing activities was $36,976 for the three months ended March 31, 2018. We incurred $39,129 of indebtedness. This was offset by debt financing fees of $1,577.

Sources of Liquidity. As of March 31, 2019, Asure’s principal sources of liquidity consisted of approximately $16,591 of cash and cash equivalents, cash generated from operations of our business over the next twelve months, and $4,717 available for borrowing under our Wells Fargo revolver. 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 continue to be focused on growing

our existing software operations and seeking accretive and complimentary strategic acquisitions as part of our growth strategy. We believe the available sources of liquidity described above will be sufficient to fund such growth activities but may raise additional capital or incur additional indebtedness to supplement those sources as we execute on our growth plan. We may need to raise additional capital in the future in order to grow our existing software operations and to seek additional strategic acquisitions in the future. However, we cannot assure that we will be able to raise additional capital on acceptable terms, or at all. Further, we expect to continue to be in compliance with the terms of our debt agreements and related covenants over the next twelve months.

Capital Resources. At March 31, 2019, we had $124,134 outstanding under our Second Restated Credit Agreement with Wells Fargo and our Syndicate Partner. Under the line of credit at March 31, 2019, we have available funds of $4,717, as well as $17,000 on a delayed draw term loan. For further discussion regarding our Second Restated Credit Agreement, see Note 6 to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.
