NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Amounts in thousands, except per share data unless otherwise noted) NOTE 1 - THE COMPANY AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION Asure Software, Inc. (“Asure”, the “Company”, “we” and “our”), a Delaware corporation, is a provider of cloud-based Human Capital Management (“HCM”) software solutions delivered as Software-as-a-Service (“SaaS”) for small and medium-sized businesses (“SMBs”). We offer human resources (“HR”) tools necessary to build a thriving workforce, provide the resources to stay compliant with dynamic federal, state, and local tax jurisdictions and their respective labor laws, freeing cash flows so SMBs can spend their financial capital on growing their businesses rather than administrative overhead that can impede growth. Our solutions also provide new ways for employers to connect with their employees in order to enhance their relationships with their talent. Asure’s HCM suite (“Asure HCM”) includes Payroll & Tax solutions, HR compliance and services, Time & Attendance software and data integrations that enable employers and their employees to enhance efficiencies and take advantage of value-added solutions, which we refer to as AsureMarketplace™. AsureMarketplace™ automates interactions between our HCM systems with third-party providers to enhance efficiency, improve accuracy and to extend the range of services offered to employers and their employees. Our approach to HR compliance services leverages technology and on-demand content to enhance scalability and efficiency while prioritizing client interactions. We offer our services directly and indirectly through our network of reseller partners. We strive to be the most trusted HCM resource to SMBs. We target less densely populated U.S. metropolitan cities where fewer of our competitors have a presence. Our solutions solve three primary challenges that prevent businesses from growing: HR complexity, allocation of human and financial capital, and the ability to build great teams. We have and will continue to invest in research and development to expand our solutions. O ur solutions reduce the administrative burden on employers and increase employee productivity while managing the employment lifecycle. The Asure HCM suite includes five product lines: Asure Payroll & Tax, Asure Tax Management Solutions, Asure Time & Attendance, Asure HR Compliance, and AsureMarketplace™. We develop, market, sell and support our offerings nationwide through our principal office in Austin, Texas and from our processing hubs in Alabama, California, Florida, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Tennessee, and Vermont. We have prepared the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) 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. 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 June 30, 2024, comprehensive loss and changes in stockholders’ equity for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023, and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023. Certain amounts in the prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the presentation of the current period financial statements. These reclassifications had no effect on the consolidated financial position or consolidated results of operations of the Company. These unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with our audited Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto filed with the SEC in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 (our “2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K”). The Company’s results for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for a full fiscal year. 7 Table of Contents NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES USE OF ESTIMATES Preparation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of the assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve judgments. The more significant estimates made by management include the valuation allowance for the gross deferred tax assets, the determination of the fair value of its long-lived assets, and the fair value of assets acquired, and liabilities assumed during acquisitions. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions management believes reasonable under the given circumstances. These estimates could be materially different under different conditions and assumptions. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS We consider all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of 90 days or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents include investments in an institutional money market fund, which invests in U.S. Treasury bills, notes and bonds, and/or repurchase agreements, backed by such obligations. Carrying value approximates fair value. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (Topic 740), which requires companies to disaggregate information about their effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid. The standard applies to all entities subject to income taxes. The standard becomes effective for public entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. We are currently evaluating this standard and the potential effects of these changes to our consolidated financial statements and will adopt this new standard in the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2025. In November 2023 , the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which improves reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses for interim and annual periods. In addition, the standard requires public entities that have a single reportable segment to provide all the disclosures required by the standard and all existing segment disclosures in Topic 280. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. We are currently evaluating this standard and the potential effects of these changes to our consolidated financial statements and will adopt this new standard in the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024. ACCUMULATED OTHER COMPREHENSIVE LOSS As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, accumulated other comprehensive loss consisted of net unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities. NOTE 3 - BUSINESS COMBINATIONS AND ASSET ACQUISITIONS 2024 Effective April 30, 2024, we acquired certain assets of an Ohio based reseller partner, which were used to provide payroll processing services. The aggregate purchase price paid for the acquisition of these assets was $ 3,000 , consisting of $ 2,300 paid in cash on hand, and $ 700 in the form of a promissory note, plus 50 shares of Asure common stock. The acquired customer relationships are recorded as an intangible asset and are being amortized on a straight-line basis over eight years . As of June 30, 2024, the promissory note had an outstanding principal balance of $ 700 and matures on October 30, 2025. Effective February 22, 2024, we acquired certain assets of a payroll processing and benefits brokerage servicer based in New Jersey. The aggregate purchase price paid for the acquisition of these assets was $ 6,000 , consisting of $ 500 paid in cash on hand, 450 shares of Asure common stock, having an agreed value of $ 4,500 , and the remaining $ 1,000 in the form of a promissory note. The acquired customer relationships are recorded as an intangible asset and are being amortized on a straight-line basis over eight years . As of June 30, 2024, the promissory note had an outstanding principal balance of $ 963 and matures on February 22, 2026. 8 Table of Contents 2023 Effective October 1, 2023, we acquired certain assets of an Alabama based reseller partner, which were used to provide payroll processing services. The aggregate purchase price paid for these assets was $ 8,391 , consisting of $ 6,891 in cash of which $6,545 was paid at closing and the delivery of a promissory note in the amount of $ 1,500 .

As of June 30, 2024, the promissory note had an outstanding principal balance of $ 1,500 and matures on October 1, 2025. NOTE 4 - INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 820 “Fair Value Measurement” (ASC 820) defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under U.S. GAAP and enhances disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. ASC 820 describes a fair value hierarchy based on the following three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable: Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2: Quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active for identical or similar assets or liabilities; and model-driven valuations whose significant inputs are observable; and Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. The following table presents the fair value hierarchy for our financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis for the periods presented below (in thousands): Total Carrying Value Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 June 30, 2024 Assets: Funds held for clients Money market funds $ 4,411 $ 4,411 $ — $ — Available-for-sale securities 70,565 — 70,565 — Total $ 74,976 $ 4,411 $ 70,565 $ — December 31, 2023 Assets: Funds held for clients Money market funds $ 3,431 $ 3,431 $ — $ — Available-for-sale securities 71,770 — 71,770 — Total $ 75,201 $ 3,431 $ 71,770 $ — 9 Table of Contents Cash equivalents and investments classified as available-for-sale within funds held for clients consisted of the following for the periods presented below (in thousands): Amortized Cost Gross Unrealized Gains (1) Gross Unrealized Losses (1) Aggregate Estimated Fair Value June 30, 2024 Cash equivalents $ 4,422 $ — $ ( 11 ) $ 4,411 Available-for-sale securities: Certificates of deposit 739 1 — 740 Corporate debt securities 64,524 85 ( 1,185 ) 63,424 Municipal bonds 4,231 — ( 203 ) 4,028 U.S. Government agency securities 2,410 — ( 37 ) 2,373 Total available-for-sale securities 71,904 86 ( 1,425 ) 70,565 Total (2) $ 76,326 $ 86 $ ( 1,436 ) $ 74,976 December 31, 2023 Cash equivalents $ 3,447 $ — $ ( 16 ) $ 3,431 Available-for-sale securities: Certificates of deposit 845 2 ( 1 ) 846 Corporate debt securities 67,277 258 ( 1,090 ) 66,445 Municipal bonds 4,251 — ( 239 ) 4,012 U.S. Government agency securities 500 — ( 33 ) 467 Total available-for-sale securities 72,873 260 ( 1,363 ) 71,770 Total (2) $ 76,320 $ 260 $ ( 1,379 ) $ 75,201 (1) Unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities are included as a component of comprehensive loss. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were 22 and 54 securities, respectively, in an unrealized gain position and there were 148 and 113 securities in an unrealized loss position, respectively. As of June 30, 2024, these unrealized losses were less than $ 56 individually and $ 1,425 in the aggregate. As of December 31, 2023, these unrealized losses were less than $ 61 individually and $ 1,363 in the aggregate. We invest in high quality securities with roughly 70% of our portfolio made up of A ratings and above with unrealized losses primarily attributable to macroeconomic factors rather than credit related. 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 credit losses. Factors considered in determining whether a loss is a credit loss include the length of time and extent to which fair value has been less than the cost basis, the credit rating of the investment, 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 June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, none of these securities were classified as cash and cash equivalents on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Funds held for clients represent assets that the Company has classified for use solely for the purposes of satisfying the obligations to remit funds relating to the Company’s payroll and payroll tax filing services, which are classified as client funds obligations on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Funds held for clients have been invested in the following categories for the periods presented below (in thousands): June 30, 2024 December 31, 2023 Cash and cash equivalents held to satisfy client funds obligations $ 119,873 $ 147,305 Short-term marketable securities held to satisfy client funds obligations 11,420 10,042 Long-term marketable securities held to satisfy client funds obligations 59,145 61,728 Total funds held for clients $ 190,438 $ 219,075 10 Table of Contents Expected maturities of available-for-sale securities are as follows for the period presented below (in thousands): June 30, 2024 One year or less $ 11,420 After one year through five years 59,145 Total $ 70,565 NOTE 5 - GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS December 31, 2023 Acquisitions June 30, 2024 Goodwill $ 86,011 $ — $ 86,011 We believe significant synergies are expected to arise from our strategic acquisitions and their assembled work forces. This factor contributed to a purchase price that was in 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 amortizable for tax purposes. As of June 30, 2024, there has been no impairment of goodwill based on the qualitative assessments performed by the Company.

Senior Credit Facility with Structural Capital Investments III, LP On September 12, 2023, we terminated the Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”), among the Company, Structural Capital Investments III, LP (“Structural” and together with the other lenders that were parties thereto, the “Lenders”), and Ocean II PLO LLC, as administrative and collateral agent for the Lender and repaid the outstanding balance on the secured promissory note issued under the Loan Agreement (the “Note”). In connection with the termination, the Company paid the Agent for the benefit of the Lenders an aggregate amount of $ 30,927 (the “Payoff Amount”) in full payment of our outstanding obligations under the Loan Agreement. The Payoff Amount represented $ 30,617 of outstanding principal and interest on the unpaid principal balance, a 1.0 % prepayment fee in the amount of $ 306 and $ 5 for the accrued non-utilization fee and lender expenses associated with the extinguishment.

Receivables from contracts with customers, net of allowance for credit losses of $ 4,787 , were $ 14,202 at December 31, 2023. We had a provision for expected losses of $ 107 , write-offs charged against the allowance for credit losses of $ 5 , and recoveries on previously written off receivables of $ 580 during the six months ended June 30, 2024. No customer represented more than 10% of our net accounts receivable balance as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively . 13 Table of Contents Deferred Commissions Deferred commission costs from contracts with customers w ere $ 11,477 and $ 10,302 at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 , respectively. The amount of amortization recognized for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 was $ 565 and $ 1,191 , respectively, and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 was $ 650 and $ 1,147 , respectively. The increase in amortization during the six months ended June 30, 2024 is primarily due to an increased focus on sales of recurring revenue streams in the prior year that are now being amortized. Deferred Revenue During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 , revenue of $ 888 and $ 6,007 , respectively, an d during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, revenue of $ 170 and $ 5,783 , respectively, was recognized from the deferred revenue balance at the beginning of each period. Transaction Price Allocated to the Remaining Performance Obligations As of June 30, 2024, approximately $ 49,159 of revenue is expected to be recognized from remaining performance obligations. We expect to recognize revenue on approximately 37 % of these remaining performance obligations over the next 12 months, with the balance recognized thereafter. These amounts exclude remaining performance obligations related to contracts for professional services for tax and payroll offerings whose remaining contractual term is less than one year as of June 30, 2024. During the three months ended June 30, 2024, a multi-year license arrangement was finalized primarily driving the increase in our deferred revenue balances as of June 30, 2024 when compared to December 31, 2023. The arrangement is also driving the decrease in our transaction price estimated to be recognized during the next 12 months from 87 % as of December 31, 2023 to 37 % as of June 30, 2024. Revenue Concentration During the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, there were no customers that individually represented 10% or more of consolidated revenue. NOTE 8 - LEASES We have entered into office space lease agreements, which qualify as operating leases under ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)”. Under such leases, the lessors receive annual minimum (base) rent. The leases have original terms (excluding extension options) ranging from one year to eight 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 general and administrative expenses. The components of the rent expense are as follows for the periods presented below (in thousands): Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2024 2023 2024 2023 Operating lease cost $ 507 $ 884 $ 953 $ 1,415 Sublease income — ( 4 ) ( 4 ) ( 9 ) Net rent expense $ 507 $ 880 $ 949 $ 1,406 For purposes of calculating the operating lease assets and lease liabilities, 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. The weighted average discount rate of our operating leases is 10 % as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The weighted average remaining lease term is four years and five years as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. 14 Table of Contents Supplemental cash flow information related to operating leases are as follows for the periods presented below (in thousands): Six Months Ended June 30, 2024 2023 Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of lease liabilities: Operating cash outflows from operating leases $ 1,022 $ 1,439 Future minimum commitments over the life of all operating leases, which exclude variable rent payments, are as follows for the period presented below (in thousands): June 30, 2024 2024 $ 1,030 2025 1,720 2026 1,244 2027 1,028 2028 1,023 2029 683 Thereafter 233 Total minimum lease payments 6,961 Less: imputed interest ( 1,395 ) Total lease liabilities $ 5,566 NOTE 9 - SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION We have one active equity plan, the 2018 Incentive Award Plan (the “2018 Plan”). The 2018 Plan, approved by our stockholders, 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 granted thereunder. The number of shares reserved for issuance under the 2018 Plan is 4,350 shares. We have an aggregate of 2,531 options, restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and performance stock units (“PSUs”) granted and outstanding pursuant to the 2018 Plan as of June 30, 2024. As of June 30, 2024, the number of shares available for future grant under the 2018 Plan is 1,063 . Share based compensation for our stock option plans for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 was $ 1,488 and $ 3,390 , respectively, and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 was $ 1,337 and $ 2,919 , respectively .

The number of RSUs into which the PSUs convert for each executive officer is a sliding scale between 0 % to 200 % of the target amount based on the Company’s achievement of certain performance metrics tied to the Company’s recurring revenue and gross profit for 2024. 15 Table of Contents Effective January 1, 2023, the Compensation Committee approved the grant of PSUs pursuant to a PSU Award Grant Notice and PSU Award Agreement (the “2023 PSU Award Agreement”) under the 2018 Plan to our executive officers payable in the form of RSUs. The number of RSUs into which the PSUs converted for each executive officer was a sliding scale between 0 % to 200 % of the target amount based on the Company’s achievement of certain performance metrics tied to the Company’s recurring revenue and gross profit for 2023. On February 26, 2024, the PSUs converted to RSUs at 200 % of target based on the achievement of set performance metrics, and we paid out a total of 325 RSUs to our executive officers. NOTE 10 - NET LOSS PER SHARE We compute net income or loss per share based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net income per share reflects the maximum dilution that would have resulted from incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options or vesting of RSUs and in some cases PSUs. In periods of net income, we compute the adjustment to the denominator of our dilutive net earnings per share calculation to include these stock options, RSUs, and PSUs, as applicable, using the treasury stock method. Regardless of the period resulting in net income or net loss, we exclude the adjustment to the denominator of our dilutive net loss per share calculation to the extent that they are anti-dilutive. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net loss per common share for the periods presented below (in thousands, except per share amounts): Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2024 2023 2024 2023 Basic: Net loss $ ( 4,360 ) $ ( 3,765 ) $ ( 4,668 ) $ ( 3,426 ) Weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding 25,840 20,651 25,587 20,500 Basic loss per share $ ( 0.17 ) $ ( 0.18 ) $ ( 0.18 ) $ ( 0.17 ) Diluted: Net loss $ ( 4,360 ) $ ( 3,765 ) $ ( 4,668 ) $ ( 3,426 ) Weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding 25,840 20,651 25,587 20,500 Diluted loss per share $ ( 0.17 ) $ ( 0.18 ) $ ( 0.18 ) $ ( 0.17 ) NOTE 11 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS On July 11, 2024, we acquired certain assets of an applicant tracking technology company, which were used to provide hiring solutions to small and medium-sized businesses .
