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 September 30, 2019, the results of operations and statements of changes in stockholders' equity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018, and our statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and September 30, 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 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,

(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.
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 did not materially impact our operating results or liquidity upon adoption. 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 requirements. Early adoption is permitted. The standard also allows for the early adoption of any removed or modified disclosures upon issuance of this ASU while delaying the 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 ROU 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 September 30, 2019, we were not a party to any pending legal proceedings.

NOTE 3 – INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, $18,806 and $4,256, respectively, of funds held for clients were invested in available-for-sale securities consisting of government and commercial bonds, including mortgage-backed securities. As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we also had $23,508 and $0, respectively, of funds held for clients invested in money market funds and other cash equivalents. Additionally, at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we had $11,588 and $8,111, respectively, in money market funds, classified as cash equivalents.
Investments classified as available-for-sale consisted of the following:

| Amortized Cost |  | Gross Unrealized Gains (1) |  | Gross Unrealized Losses (1) |  | Aggregate Estimated Fair Value
September 30, 2019: |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Funds Held for Clients (2) |  |  |  |  |  |  |

Corporate debt securities | $ | 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 September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, there were 63 and 26 securities, respectively, in an unrealized gain position and there were 32 and 32 securities, respectively, in an unrealized loss position. As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, these unrealized losses were less than $30 individually and $117 in the aggregate. These securities have not been in a continuous unrealized gain or loss position for more than 12 months. We do not intend to sell these investments and we do not expect to sell these investments before recovery of their amortized cost basis, which may be at maturity. We review our investments to identify and evaluate investments that indicate possible other-than-temporary impairment. Factors considered in determining whether a loss is other-than-temporary include the length of time and extent to which fair value has been less than the cost basis, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the investee, and our intent and ability to hold the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in market value.

(2) | At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, none of these securities were classified as cash and cash equivalents on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Expected maturities of available-for-sale securities as of September 30, 2019 are as follows:

One year or less | $ | 3,681 |
After one year through five years | 11,422 |
After five years through 10 years | 234 |
After 10 years | 3,469 |
| $ | 18,806 |

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, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively:

Term Loan - Wells Fargo
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, which had previously amended and restated our credit agreement from March 2014. The Second Restated 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. We and our wholly-owned active subsidiaries are also parties to a Guaranty and Security Agreement with Wells Fargo Bank in connection with our Second Restated Credit Agreement (and earlier versions of the credit agreement). 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.
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; and (d) a $40,000 accordion. 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

LIBOR is expected to be discontinued after 2021. The Second Restated Credit Agreement provides procedures for determining a replacement or alternative rate in the event that LIBOR is unavailable. However, there can be no assurances as to whether such replacement or alternative rate will be more or less favorable than LIBOR. We intend to monitor the developments with respect to the potential phasing out of LIBOR after 2021 and will work with our lenders to ensure any transition away from LIBOR will have minimal impact on our financial condition. We however can provide no assurances regarding the impact of the discontinuation of LIBOR on the interest rate that we would be required to pay or on our financial condition.
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 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 September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, $4,000 and $0 was outstanding and $1,000 and $5,000, respectively, was available for borrowing under the revolver.
As of September 30, 2019, we are in compliance with all terms of our credit agreement as our lenders have waived compliance with our leverage ratio covenant of 6.00 to 1:00 as of September 30, 2019, and further consented to advances made to our United Kingdom subsidiaries in excess of the $3,000 limit. The waivers were made conditional upon a number of factors related to the pending sale of our workspace solution business (see Note 11 -Subsequent Events). If we are unable to close on the sale of our workspace solution business by December 15, 2019, or close on the sale but otherwise fail to satisfy the conditions to the waiver, then the lenders' waiver will expire. We are also in the process of negotiating an amendment to our credit facility with our lenders. If we are unable to negotiate an amendment by the date we close on the sale of our workspace solution business, the lenders will modify our maturity date to March 13, 2020 to provide time for us to complete and enter an amendment with our lenders or to facilitate a credit facility with new lenders.
We expect to be in compliance with our debt agreements and related covenants over the next twelve months.
NOTE 6 – CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS AND REVENUE CONCENTRATION
Receivables
Receivables from contracts with customers, net of allowance for doubtful accounts of $1,047 were $12,900 at September 30, 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 $4,518 and $3,675 at September 30, 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 and nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $545 and $1,361, respectively.
Deferred Revenue
Revenue of $1,730 and $9,918 was recognized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 that was included in the deferred revenue balance at the beginning of each period.
Transaction Price Allocated to the Remaining Performance Obligations
As of September 30, 2019, approximately $44,494 of revenue is expected to be recognized from remaining performance obligations. We expect to recognize revenue on approximately 64% of these remaining performance obligations over the next 12 months, with the balance recognized thereafter.

Revenue Concentration
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018, there were no customers that 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 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 and nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $409 and $1,223, respectively.
As of September 30, 2019, we had lease liabilities of $7,475, of which $1,628 are classified as other current accrued liabilities, and ROU assets of $6,895, 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 September 30, 2019 is 6.0 years (excluding extension options).

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 continues 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) 1,350,000 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 canceled or otherwise terminate following the effective date of the 2018 Plan. We have outstanding options to purchase 2,063,154 shares at a weighted exercise price of $9.11, of which options to purchase 600,500 shares at an exercise price of $6.39, exercisable over a three year period, were granted in the three months ended September 30,2019. As of September 30, 2019, we had 156,153 shares available for grant pursuant to the 2018 Plan. In May 2019, our shareholders approved a one-time program to exchange underwater options to purchase shares of our common stock held by eligible employees for a lesser number of restricted stock units under the 2018 Plan. We have twelve months from May 2019 to implement this one-time program.

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 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
Beginning balance, December 31, 2018 | $ | (828 | ) |  | $ | (78 | ) |  | $ | (906 | )

Unrealized loss on marketable securities | 22 |  |  | — |  |  | $ | 22 |
Other comprehensive loss | $ | (538 | ) |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | (538 | )

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 2,063,000 and 1,568,000 shares for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and September 30, 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 and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018:

| Three Months Ended September 30, 2019 |  | Three Months Ended September 30, 2018 |  | Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019 |  | Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018
Net loss | $ | (3,356 | ) |  | $ | (3,584 | ) |  | $ | (11,217 | ) |  | $ | (9,277 | )

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

| For the Three Months Ended September 30, |  | Increase (Decrease) |  |
Revenue | 2019 |  | 2018 |  |  | %
Recurring | $ | 21,220 |  |  | $ | 19,561 |  |  | $ | 1,659 |  |  | 8.5 |
Professional services, hardware and other | 3,339 |  |  | 3,897 |  |  | (558 | ) |  | (14.3 | )
Total revenue | $ | 24,559 |  |  | $ | 23,458 |  |  | $ | 1,101 |  |  | 4.7 |
| For the Nine Months Ended September 30, |  | Increase (Decrease) |  |
| 2019 |  | 2018 |  |  | %
Recurring | $ | 65,214 |  |  | $ | 54,795 |  |  | $ | 10,419 |  |  | 19.0 |
Professional services, hardware and other | 10,946 |  |  | 9,734 |  |  | 1,212 |  |  | 12.5 |
Total revenue | $ | 76,160 |  |  | $ | 64,529 |  |  | $ | 11,631 |  |  | 18.0 |

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 September 30, 2019 was $24,559, an increase of $1,101, or 4.7%, from the $23,458 reported for the three months ended September 30, 2018. Recurring revenue increased primarily due to an increase in cloud revenue. Cloud revenue increased $1,120, or 6.1%, primarily due to our 2017 and 2018 acquisitions and our continued emphasis on selling integrated cloud-based solutions.
Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $76,160, an increase of $11,631, or 18.0%, from the $64,529 reported for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. This increase was primarily due to an increase in cloud and hardware revenue. Cloud revenue increased $9,447, or 18.5%, primarily as a result of the cloud revenue recognized by the 2018 acquisitions and our continued emphasis on selling integrated cloud-based solutions. Hardware revenue also increased as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2018, due to the timing of work performed on contracts.
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 September 30, 2019 was $15,507, a slight increase of $520 or 3.5%, from the $14,987 reported for the three months ended September 30, 2018. Gross margin as a percentage of revenue was 63.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to 63.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2018. The decrease in gross margin is due to the mix of hardware and professional services revenue, with an increase in HCM revenue, which typically has lower margins.
Consolidated gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $48,559, an increase of $5,278 or 12.2%, from the $43,281 reported for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. Gross margins as a percentage of revenue were 63.8% and 67.1%
21

for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. HCM revenue, which typically has lower gross margins, represents a larger portion of our revenue mix, therefore, resulting in a slight decrease in the gross margin as a percentage of revenue.
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 September 30, 2019 were $11,395, an increase of $343, or 3.1%, from the $11,052 reported for the three months ended September 30, 2018. SG&A expenses as a percentage of revenue decreased slightly to 46.4% from 47.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018, respectively.
SG&A expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 were $36,019, an increase of $2,625, or 7.9%, from the $33,394 reported for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. SG&A expenses as a percentage of revenue slightly decreased to 47.3% from 51.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 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.
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development (“R&D”) expenses consist primarily of salaries and related expenses, including stock-based expenses for employees supporting our R&D activities. R&D expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2019 were $2,501, a decrease of $1,013, or 28.8%, from the $3,514 reported for the three months ended September 30, 2018. R&D expenses as a percentage of revenues decreased to 10.2% from 15.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018, respectively.
R&D expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 were $6,730, an increase of $235, or 3.6%, from the $6,495 reported for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. R&D expenses as a percentage of revenue were 8.8% as compared to 10.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 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 investments 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 groundwork 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.
In the third quarter of 2019, we released a number of key objectives demonstrated at our customer event, including: expanded integration with our Evolution Platform and Asure Force Time and attendance, expanded Benefits functionality in our Evolution Advanced HR product, and our new 10” Touch Panels for our AsureSpace business. Additionally, as we’ve completed migration of all core applications to Amazon AWS, we were able to right-size our instance footprint by the end of Q3, realizing a reduced hosting expense going forward. R&D expenses in other elements are in line with our general objectives noted previously.
Amortization of Intangible Assets
22

Amortization expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2019 were $2,375, a decrease of $72, or 2.9%, from the $2,447 reported for the three months ended September 30, 2018. Amortization expenses as a percentage of revenue were 9.7% and 10.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Amortization expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 were $7,918, an increase of $1,880, or 31.1% compared to $6,038, reported for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. Amortization expenses as a percentage of revenue were 10.4% and 9.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 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 September 30, 2019 was $2,864, an increase of $1,003, or 53.9%, from the $1,861 reported for the three months ended September 30, 2018. Other expense as a percentage of revenue was consistent at 11.7% and 7.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018, respectively. Other expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $8,709, an increase of $2,366, or 37.3%, from the $6,343 reported for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. Other expense as a percentage of revenue was 11.4% and 9.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Other expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 are composed primarily of interest expense on notes payable. The increase over the nine months ended 2018 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 the second half of 2018 and the first quarter of 2019.
Income Taxes
For the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, we recorded an income tax benefit of $272 and $303, a decrease of $31, or 10.2%, respectively. We incurred a provision for income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 of $400, an increase of $112, or 38.9%, from $288 reported for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively.
Net Income (Loss)
We incurred a net loss of $3,356, or $(0.22) per share, during the three months ended September 30, 2019, compared to a net loss of $3,584, or $(0.24) per share, during the three months ended September 30, 2018. Net loss as a percentage of total revenues was 13.7% and 15.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
We incurred a net loss of $11,217, or $(0.73) per share, during the nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to a net loss of $9,277, or $(0.68) per share reported for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. Net loss as a percentage of total revenue was 14.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to a net loss of 14.4% of total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.
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 $3,629 at September 30, 2019, a decrease of $7,814 from working capital of $11,443 at December 31, 2018. Working capital as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 includes $12,362 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.

Net cash provided by operating activities of $3,923 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was primarily driven by a net loss of $11,217, a decrease in accounts receivable of $2,930, resulting from cash collections in the quarter, an decrease in prepaid expenses and other assets of $16, and non-cash adjustments to net loss of $14,489, primarily due to higher depreciation and amortization expense. This was offset by an increase in inventory of $2,062 and a increase in deferred revenue of $148. The $6,062 of cash used in operating activities during the first nine months of 2018 was primarily driven by a net loss of $9,277, an increase in accounts receivable of $6,587 and an increase in other assets of $2,250. This was offset by non-cash adjustments of $11,620.
Investing Activities. Net cash provided by investing activities of $36,552 for the nine months ended September 30, 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 $53,788 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 is primarily due to the acquisitions in January 2018 and April 2018, offset by a decrease in funds held for clients
Financing Activities. Net cash used in financing activities was $43,310 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. We incurred $16,000 of indebtedness. This was offset by debt financing fees of $1,102 and the net change in client fund obligations of $49,964. Net cash provided by financing activities was $51,380 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. We incurred $41,290 of indebtedness and net proceeds of approximately $39,156 from the issuance of our common stock in an underwritten public offering we completed in June 2018, partially offset by payments on debt of $10,312, and debt financing fees of $1,693.
Sources of Liquidity. As of September 30, 2019, Asure’s principal sources of liquidity consisted of approximately $12,576 of cash and cash equivalents, cash generated from operations of our business over the next twelve months, and $1,000 available for borrowing under our Wells Fargo revolver. Based on current internal projections, and accounting for the closing of the sale of our workspace solutions business, 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 complementary strategic acquisitions as part of our growth strategy. We believe the available sources of liquidity described above, including in connection with the sale of our workspace solution business, 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, following the consummation of the sale of our workspace solution business, 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 September 30, 2019, we had $111,366 outstanding under our Second Restated Credit Agreement with Wells Fargo and Goldman Sachs. Under the line of credit at September 30, 2019, we have available funds of $1,000, 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.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Control and Procedures
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for us. Based on an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act were effective as of September 30, 2019 to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Change in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
During the period ended September 30, 2019, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Although we have been, and in the future may be, the defendant or plaintiff in various actions arising in the normal course of business, as of September 30, 2019, we were not party to any pending legal proceedings.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Commission on March 19, 2019, and investors are encouraged to review such risk factors prior to making an investment in the Company.
Risks Related to the Proposed Transaction with FM Systems Group, LLC and FMS Bidco UK Limited
There Can Be No Assurance That The Proposed Transaction Will Be Consummated As Contemplated In Accordance With The Purchase Agreement.
There can be no assurances that the proposed transaction with Buyer will be consummated as originally contemplated, or that we will realize any or all of the benefits that our management expected to realize upon the consummation of the transaction.
While we expect the Purchase Agreement to be consummated in accordance with its terms, the completion of the proposed transaction with Buyer is subject to certain conditions. If the transaction is not completed, our ongoing business could be adversely affected, and it would be subject to a variety of risks associated with the failure to complete the transaction, including the following:
•incurrence of substantial costs in connection with the proposed transaction such as legal, accounting, financial advisory, HSR filing, and regulatory fees;
•diversion of management focus and resources from operational matters and other strategic opportunities while working to implement the transaction;
•amounts due to our senior lenders under our credit facility may be accelerated; and
•reputational harm due to the adverse perception of any failure to successfully complete the transaction.
If the transaction is not completed, these risks could materially affect our business and financial results and the price of our common stock.
The Pendency Of The Proposed Transaction Could Adversely Affect Our Business And Operations.
Prior to consummation of the transaction with Buyer, some of our business relationships may delay, defer or withdraw their business with us, which could negatively affect revenues, earnings, cash flows and expenses, regardless of whether the transaction with Buyer is completed. Similarly, current and prospective employees may experience uncertainty about their future roles with us, which may materially adversely affect our ability to attract and retain key personnel during the pendency of the transaction. In addition, due to operating restrictions in the Purchase Agreement, the Company may be unable, during the pendency of the transaction with Buyer to pursue strategic transactions, undertake significant capital projects, undertake certain significant financing transactions and otherwise pursue other actions, even if such actions would prove beneficial.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
None.
