Disclosure Text Block Supplement [Abstract] |
Mergers, Acquisitions and Dispositions Disclosures [Text Block] | NOTE 4 – ACQUISITIONS 2018 Acquisitions In January 2018, we acquired all of the outstanding shares of common stock of Pay Systems of America, Inc. (“Pay Systems”), a provider of HR, payroll and employee benefits services. The aggregate consideration for the shares consisted of (i) $14,152 in cash and (ii) a subordinated promissory note (the “Pay Systems Note”) in the principal amount of $1,572 subject to adjustment, We funded the cash payment with cash on hand. The Pay Systems Note bears interest at an annual rate of 2.0% and is payable in two installments – one-half, plus accrued interest, on July 1, 2018 and the remaining principal balance and accrued interest on January 1, 2019. In January 2018, we also completed the acquisitions of two other companies that are current resellers of our leading Human Resource Information System platform (“Evolution HCM”). We funded these two acquisitions with cash on hand, subordinated promissory notes and shares of Asure common stock. In April 2018, we acquired all of the assets of a provider of outsourced HR, consulting, and professional services around payroll and employee benefits; and we acquired all of the share capital of a provider of a sensor-based solution that allows organizations across the world to streamline operations, create efficiencies, enhance productivity, and analyze employee engagement. We funded these acquisitions with cash (using borrowed funds under our Second Restated Credit Agreement) and subordinated promissory notes. In April 2018, we also purchased a portfolio of customer accounts and the related contracts for payroll processing services (known as Evolution Payroll) from Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. for an aggregate purchase price of $10,450. The aggregate purchase price consisted of (i) $10,000 in cash and (ii) a subordinated promissory note (the “Evolution Payroll Note”) in the principal amount of $450. The Evolution Payroll Note bears interest at an annual rate of 2.0%, and the unpaid principal and all accrued interest under the Evolution Payroll Note is payable on April 9, 2020. To finance this transaction, we borrowed approximately $10,000 under our Second Restated Credit Agreement. Except for the purchase of Pay Systems of America, Inc. and the Evolution Payroll portfolio, the 2018 acquisitions, individually, were not material to our results of operations, financial position, or cash flows. We have treated the purchase of the Evolution Payroll portfolio as an acquisition of assets, rather than as an acquisition of a business. Purchase Price Allocation Following is the purchase price allocation for the 2018 business 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 acquisitions 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, with the exception of the Evolution Payroll portfolio purchase, using the acquisition method of accounting and recognized assets and liabilities assumed at their fair value as of the dates of acquisitions. The $22,680 of intangible assets subject to amortization consist of $18,700 allocated to Customer Relationships, $2,100 for Developed Technology, $1,550 for Trade Names, and $330 for Noncompete Agreements. To value the Trade Names, we employed the relief from royalty method under the market approach. For the Noncompete Agreements, 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 13.0% to 33.0%, 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 1.0% royalty rate. We believe significant synergies are expected to arise from 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.

The purchase of the Evolution Payroll portfolio has been accounted for as an asset acquisition under the acquisition method of accounting. The amendments in ASU 2017-01 provide a screen to determine when a set of assets and activities is not a business. The screen requires that when substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired (or disposed of) is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets, the set of assets and activities is not a business. Since the acquisition was determined to be an asset acquisition, the total value of the purchase consideration is allocated to the asset acquired. Management assessed the fair value of the promissory note and cash consideration as of April 1, 2018, which was as follows:
|  | Fair Value |
Cash |  | $ | 10,000 |
Promissory note |  |  | 450 |
Debt discount |  |  | (46 | )
Total |  | $ | 10,404 |
Fair value of asset acquired, Customer Relationships |  | $ | 10,404 |
As an asset acquisition, we also capitalized approximately $40 of total costs incurred to complete the acquisition consisting of legal fees of approximately $30 and accounting fees of approximately $10. The total intangible asset of $10,444 is recorded in our consolidated balance sheet within Intangible Assets- Customer Relationships, and is being amortized over its estimated useful life of eight years. Transaction costs incurred for the 2018 business acquisitions were $1,308 and $2,301 in the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively, and were expensed as incurred and included in selling, general and administrative expenses. Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information The following unaudited summary of pro forma combined results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and June 30, 2017 gives effect to our 2017 and 2018 acquisitions as if we had completed them on January 1, 2017. This pro forma summary does not reflect any operating efficiencies, cost savings or revenue enhancements that we may achieve by combining operations. In addition, we have not reflected certain non-recurring expenses, such as legal expenses and other transactions expenses for the first 12 months after the acquisition, in the pro forma summary. We present this pro forma summary for informational purposes only and it is not necessarily indicative of what our actual results of operations would have been had the acquisitions taken place as of January 1, 2017, nor is it indicative of future consolidated results of operations.
