(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

(a) Basis of Presentation, Consolidation, and Use of Estimates

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and 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. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Future events, including the impact from the outbreak of the novel coronavirus disease (“COVID-19”), and their effects cannot be predicted with certainty; accordingly, accounting estimates require the exercise of judgment. Accounting estimates used in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements change as new events occur, as more experience is acquired, as additional information is obtained and as the operating environment changes.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Beginning in fiscal 2020, the Company simplified the presentation of revenue and cost of revenues on its Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. The line items “Recurring fees” and “Implementation services and other” have been combined into one revenue line: “Recurring and other revenue”. Likewise, the line items “Cost of revenues - recurring revenues” and “Cost of revenues - implementation services and other” have been combined into one line: “Cost of revenues”. The Company changed the presentation of revenue and cost of revenues as Implementation services and other has become a smaller component of its overall revenue mix due to the human capital management (“HCM”) suite becoming a larger part of the portfolio. Previously reported results for the years ended June 30, 2018 and 2019 have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.

(b) Concentrations of Risk

The Company regularly maintains cash balances that exceed Federal Depository Insurance Corporation limits. No individual client represents 10% or more of total revenues. For all periods presented, 100% of total revenues were generated by clients in the United States.

(c) Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.

(d) Funds Held For Clients, Corporate Investments and Client Fund Obligations

The Company obtains funds from clients in advance of performing payroll and payroll tax filing services on behalf of those clients. Funds held for clients represent assets that are used solely for the purposes of satisfying the obligations to remit funds relating to payroll and payroll tax filing services. The Company has classified Funds held for clients as a current asset since these funds are held solely for the purposes of satisfying the client fund obligations. Funds

held for clients is primarily comprised of cash and cash equivalents invested in demand deposit accounts. The Company also invests a portion of its funds held for clients and corporate funds in marketable securities.

Marketable securities classified as available-for-sale are recorded at fair value on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Unrealized gains and losses, net of applicable income taxes, are reported as Other comprehensive income (loss) in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. Interest on marketable securities included in Funds held for clients is reported as Interest income on funds held for clients and interest on Corporate investments is reported as Other income on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive income, respectively.

The Company reviews the composition of its portfolio for any available-for-sale security that has a fair value that falls below its amortized cost. If any security fits this criterion, the Company further evaluates whether other-than-temporary impairment exists by considering whether the Company has the intent and ability to retain the security for a period of time sufficient enough to allow for anticipated fair value recovery. The Company did not record any other-than-temporary impairment charges during the years ended June 30, 2018, 2019 or 2020.

Client fund obligations represent the Company’s contractual obligations to remit funds to satisfy clients’ payroll and tax payment obligations and are recorded in the accompanying balance sheets at the time that the Company obtains funds from clients. The client fund obligations represent liabilities that will be repaid within one year of the balance sheet date.

(e) Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. Amounts collected on trade accounts receivable are included in Net cash provided by operating activities in the statements of cash flows. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts reflecting estimated potential losses in its accounts receivable portfolio. In establishing the required allowance, management considers historical losses adjusted to take into account current market conditions and the Company’s clients’ financial conditions, the amount of receivables in dispute, the current receivables aging and current payment patterns. The Company reviews its allowance for doubtful accounts quarterly. Past due balances over 60 days and over a specified amount are reviewed individually for collectability. All other balances are reviewed on a pooled basis. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all commercially reasonable means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. The Company does not have any off-balance-sheet credit exposure related to its clients.

Activity in the allowance for doubtful accounts was as follows:

(f) Prepaid Expenses and Other Assets

Prepaid expenses and other assets consist primarily of prepaid licensing fees, prepaid insurance premiums, deposits with vendors and time clocks available for sale or lease.

(g) Capitalized Internal-Use Software

The Company applies Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 350-40, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software, to the accounting for costs of internal-use software. Internal-use software costs are capitalized when module development begins, it is probable that the project will be completed, and the software will be used as intended. Costs associated with preliminary project stage activities, training, maintenance and all other post implementation stage activities are expensed as incurred. The Company also capitalizes certain costs related to specific upgrades and enhancements when it is probable the expenditures will result in significant additional functionality. The capitalization policy provides for the capitalization of certain payroll costs for employees who are directly associated with developing internal-use software as well as certain

external direct costs, such as consulting fees. Capitalized employee costs are limited to the time directly spent on such projects.

Capitalized internal-use software costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives, generally over a 24 or 36-month period. Management evaluates the useful lives of these assets on an annual basis and tests for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances occur that could impact the recoverability of these assets.

(h) Property and Equipment and Long-Lived Assets

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation on property and equipment is calculated on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally three to seven years for most classes of assets, or over the term of the related lease for leasehold improvements.

Long-lived assets, such as property and equipment, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If circumstances require a long-lived asset or asset group to be tested for possible impairment, the Company first compares the undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by that asset or asset group to its carrying amount. If the carrying amount of the long-lived asset or asset group is not recoverable on an undiscounted cash flow basis, an impairment is recognized to the extent that the carrying amount exceeds its fair value. Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques including discounted cash flow models, quoted market values and third-party independent appraisals, as considered necessary.

(i) Intangible Assets, Net of Accumulated Amortization

Intangible assets are comprised primarily of acquired client relationships, proprietary technology, trade name and non-solicitation agreements and are reported net of accumulated amortization on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Client relationships use the straight-line method of amortization over a five to nine-year time frame from the date of acquisition, while proprietary technology and trade name use the straight-line method of amortization over a five-year period from the date of acquisition. Non-solicitation agreements use the straight-line method of amortization over the term of the related agreements. The Company tests intangible assets for potential impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable.

(j) Goodwill

Goodwill is an asset representing the future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired in a business combination that are not individually identified and separately recognized. Goodwill is not amortized, but instead is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level. If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the Company would record an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, but the loss recognized should not exceed the amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit.

The Company performs its annual impairment review of goodwill in its fiscal fourth quarter or when a triggering event occurs between annual impairment tests. No impairment was recorded in fiscal 2018, 2019 or 2020 as a result of the Company’s qualitative assessments over its single reporting segment.

(k) Leases

The Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“Topic 842”), effective July 1, 2019. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in Operating lease right-of-use assets, Accrued expenses, and Long-term operating lease liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Right-of-use assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. In determining the present value of lease payments, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date. The operating lease right-of-use assets also include any lease payments made at or before the commencement date and are reduced by any lease incentives received. The Company’s lease terms may include options to extend or not terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that it will exercise any such options. For the majority of its leases, the Company concluded that it is not reasonably certain that any renewal options would be exercised, and, therefore, the amounts are not recognized as part of Operating lease right-

of-use assets nor Operating lease liabilities. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the expected lease term.

The Company’s most significant leases are real estate leases of office space. The remaining operating leases are primarily comprised of leases of printers and other equipment. For all leases, the Company has elected the practical expedient permitted under Topic 842 to combine lease and non-lease components. As a result, non-lease components, such as common area or equipment maintenance charges, are accounted for as a single lease element. The Company does not have any finance leases.

Fixed lease expense payments are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Variable lease payments vary because of changes in facts or circumstances occurring after the commencement date, other than the passage of time, and are often due to changes in an external market rate or the value of an index (e.g. Consumer Price Index). Certain of the Company’s operating lease agreements include variable payments that are passed through by the landlord, such as insurance, taxes, and common area maintenance, payments based on the usage of the asset, and rental payments adjusted periodically for inflation. Variable payments are expensed as incurred and included within variable rent expense.

The Company’s lease agreements do not contain material residual value guarantees, restrictions, or covenants.

(l) Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

Deferred tax assets may be reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent we determine it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Management judgment is required in determining the period in which the reversal of a valuation allowance should occur. The Company is required to consider all available evidence, both positive and negative, such as historical levels of income and future forecasts of taxable income among other items, in determining whether a full or partial release of its valuation allowance is required. The Company is also required to schedule future taxable income in accordance with accounting standards that address income taxes to assess the appropriateness of a valuation allowance, which further requires the exercise of significant management judgment. The Company’s accounting for deferred tax consequences represents the best estimate of those future events.

The Company recognizes the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not of being sustained. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs. When applicable, the Company records interest and penalties as an element of income tax expense.

Refer to Note 13 for additional information on income taxes.

(m) Revenue Recognition

The Company applies Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“Topic 606”), effective as of July 1, 2018. Topic 606 requires revenue to be recognized when an entity transfers control of goods or services to a customer in an amount that reflects the consideration to which a company also expects to be entitled to for those goods or services. To achieve this core principle, the Company recognizes revenue from contracts with customers based on the following five steps:

1)Identify the contract with a customer;
2)Identify the performance obligations in the contract;
3)Determine the transaction price;
4)Allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract; and
5)Recognize revenue when or as the Company satisfies a performance obligation.

The Company derives its revenue from contracts predominantly from recurring and non-recurring service fees. While the majority of its agreements are generally cancellable by the client on 60 days’ notice or less, the Company began entering into term arrangements in fiscal 2018, which are generally two years in length. Recurring fees are derived from payroll, timekeeping, and HR-related cloud-based computing services as follows:

Payroll processing and related services, including payroll reporting and tax filing services are delivered on a weekly, biweekly, semi-monthly, or monthly basis depending upon the payroll frequency of the client and on an annual basis if a client selects W-2 preparation and processing services,

Time and attendance reporting services, including time clock rentals, are delivered on a monthly basis, and

Cloud-based HR software solutions, including employee administration and benefits enrollment and administration, are delivered on a monthly basis.

The majority of the Company’s recurring fees are satisfied over time as services are provided. The performance obligations related to payroll services are satisfied upon the processing of the client’s payroll with the fee charged and collected based on a per employee per payroll frequency fee. The performance obligations related to time and attendance services and HR related services are satisfied over time each month with the fee charged and collected based on a per employee per month fee. For subscription-based fees which can include payroll, time and attendance, and HR related services, the Company recognizes the applicable recurring fees over time each month with the fee charged and collected based on a per employee per month fee.

The Company has certain optional performance obligations that are satisfied at a point in time including the sales of time clocks and W-2 services.

Non-recurring service fees consist mainly of nonrefundable implementation fees, which involve setting the client up in, and loading data into, the Company’s cloud-based modules. These implementation activities are considered set-up activities. The Company has determined that the nonrefundable upfront fees provide certain clients with a material right to renew the contract. Implementation fees are deferred and amortized generally over a period up to 24 months.

Sales taxes collected from clients and remitted to governmental authorities where applicable are accounted for on a net basis and therefore are excluded from revenues in the statements of operations and comprehensive income.

Interest income collected on funds held for clients is recognized in recurring revenues when earned as the collection, holding and remittance of these funds are components of providing these services.

(n) Cost of Revenues

Cost of revenues consists primarily of costs to provide payroll and HCM solutions relating to the provision of ongoing client support and implementation activities and also includes amortization of capitalized internal-use software. The Company generally expenses these costs when incurred except for costs related to the implementation of the Company’s proprietary products. These costs were previously expensed when incurred, but after the adoption of Topic 606 and ASC 340-40, such costs are capitalized and amortized over a period of 7 years.

(o) Advertising

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising costs amounted to $179, $283 and $1,023 for the years ended June 30, 2018, 2019 and 2020, respectively.

(p) Stock-Based Compensation

The Company recognizes all employee stock-based compensation as a cost in the financial statements. Equity-classified awards, including those under the 2014 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”), are measured at the grant date fair value of the award and expense is recognized, net of assumed forfeitures, on a straight-line basis over the

requisite service period for each separately vesting portion of the award. For stock options and estimated shares purchasable under the ESPP, the Company estimates grant date fair value using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and periodically updates the assumed forfeiture rates for actual experience over their vesting term or the term of the ESPP purchase period.

(q) Commitments and Contingencies

Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines, and penalties and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Legal costs incurred in connection with loss contingencies are expensed as incurred.

(r) Segment Information

The Company’s chief operating decision maker reviews the financial results of the Company in total when evaluating financial performance and for purposes of allocating resources. The Company has thus determined that it operates in a single cloud-based software solution reporting segment.

(s) Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

The Company adopted ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), including subsequent amendments and Subtopic 340-40, effective as of July 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective method of transition, which limited the application of the new standard only to contracts that were not completed as of the effective date. The adoption of Topic 606 did not have a material impact in the timing or amount of revenue recognized. However, it did have a material impact on its consolidated balance sheet due to the deferral of costs of obtaining and fulfilling a contract as detailed below.

Under the legacy revenue standard through fiscal 2018, the Company accounted for implementation and recurring services each as a separate unit of account. The Company was able to establish standalone value for implementation services as supported by the activity of third-party resellers and other vendors that performed certain implementation services. The Company observed that third party implementation activity had continued to decrease over time and at the same time, the Company had invested in proprietary modules and processes that impact implementation activities. The Company determined that from July 1, 2018 forward it no longer had a sufficient basis to establish standalone value of implementations for its proprietary products due to the culmination of the changes to the Company’s modules and processes that eliminated the ability of third parties to perform implementation services. Similarly, the Company determined that these implementation services are not a separate performance obligation under Topic 606 for contracts entered into after July 1, 2018 and the associated implementation fees are treated as nonrefundable upfront fees which are deferred and amortized over a period of time instead of recognized upon completion. The Company recognized $2,191, net of deferred taxes, of contract assets for implementation fees related to open contracts as of July 1, 2018, which began when the Company was still able to establish standalone value for implementation activities. This adjustment was recorded through retained earnings (accumulated deficit) in the statement of changes in stockholder’s equity upon adoption on July 1, 2018.

In addition, the Company is required to defer costs of obtaining and fulfilling a new contract and amortize them over the expected period of benefit, which it has determined to be 7 years. The Company recognized the cumulative effect related to the deferral of the costs of obtaining new contracts of $50,481, net of deferred taxes, which was recorded through retained earnings (accumulated deficit) in the statement of changes in stockholder’s equity upon adoption on July 1, 2018.

The cumulative effect of the changes made to the July 1, 2018 balance sheet due to the adoption of Topic 606 were as follows:

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which requires lessees to recognize leases on-balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. The new standard establishes a right-of-use (“ROU”) model that requires a lessee to recognize a ROU asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with a term longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern and classification of expense recognition in the income statement.

 

The Company adopted the new standard on July 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective method and the transition relief guidance provided by the FASB in ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements. Consequently, the Company did not update financial information or provide disclosures required under the new standard for dates and periods prior to July 1, 2019. The Company elected the package of practical expedients and did not reassess prior conclusions on whether contracts are or contain a lease, lease classification, and initial direct costs. In addition, the Company adopted the lessee practical expedient to combine lease and non-lease components for all asset classes and elected to not recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities for leases with a term of 12 months or less.

Adoption of the new standard resulted in the Company recording operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities of $52,083 and $83,852, respectively, as of July 1, 2019. The ROU assets were recorded net of $31,769 in deferred rent adjustments that were previously recorded in Accrued expenses and Deferred rent on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2019. The adoption of this standard did not result in any cumulative-effect

adjustments to Retained earnings. Additionally, there was no impact on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income or the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows as a result of the adoption of Topic 842 for the years ended June 30, 2018 and 2019. Refer to Note 2(k) and Note 12 for additional disclosures over the Company’s leases.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (“ASU 2020-04”), which provides optional practical expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts and transactions, including debt agreements, affected by interest rate reform as regulators discontinue the use of the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) and other similar reference rates. This standard is effective for contract modifications made as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022, on a prospective basis. The Company adopted this standard upon its issuance, and it did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

(t) Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (“ASU 2018-13”), which amends the requirements for fair value measurement disclosures. ASU 2018-13 removes, modifies or adds certain disclosure requirements under GAAP. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. Any new disclosure requirements must be applied on a prospective basis in the interim and annual periods of initial adoption; all removed or modified requirements must be applied retrospectively to all periods presented. The Company adopted ASU 2018-13 on July 1, 2020, and the adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”) which provides guidance to reduce complexity in certain areas of accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and simplifies various aspects of the current guidance to promote consistent application of the standard among reporting entities. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020 with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2019-12 effective July 1, 2020, and the adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the FASB or other standard setting bodies that are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, the Company believes that the impact of other recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements upon adoption.
