CONSOLIDATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION	6 Months Ended

CONSOLIDATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION	'
	1. CONSOLIDATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
	The Reorganization
	Paycom Software, Inc. (“Software”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Payroll Software Merger Sub, LLC (“Merger Sub”) were formed as Delaware entities on October 31, 2013, and December 23, 2013, respectively, in anticipation of an initial public offering (“IPO”) and were wholly-owned subsidiaries of Paycom Payroll, LLC (“Paycom”) prior to December 31, 2013.
	On January 1, 2014, we consummated a reorganization pursuant to which: (i) affiliates of Welsh, Carson, Anderson & Stowe, L.P. contributed WCAS Paycom Holdings, Inc. (“WCAS Holdings”) and WCAS CP IV Blocker, Inc. (“CP IV Blocker”), which collectively own all of the Series A Preferred Units of Paycom Payroll Holdings, LLC (“Holdings”), to Software in exchange for shares of common stock of Software and (ii) the owners of outstanding Series B Preferred Units of Holdings contributed their Series B Preferred Units of Holdings to Software in exchange for shares of common stock of Software. Immediately after these contributions, Merger Sub merged with and into Holdings with Holdings surviving the merger. Upon consummation of the merger, the remaining holders of outstanding common and incentive units of Holdings received shares of common stock of Software for their common and incentive units by operation of Delaware law and Holdings’ ownership interest in Software was cancelled. Outstanding common units, Series B Preferred Units and WCAS Holdings and CP IV Blocker were contributed to Software in exchange for, or converted into, 45,708,573 shares of common stock and 8,121,101 shares of restricted stock of Software. Following these transactions, all outstanding Series C Preferred Units were eliminated in an intercompany transaction between Holdings and WCAS Holdings, and we assumed the 14% Note due 2017 issued by WCAS Holdings (the “2017 Note”). Following the reorganization, Software became a holding company with its principal asset being the Series A Preferred Units of Holdings (collectively, the “2014 Reorganization”).
	Software’s acquisition of WCAS Holdings and Holdings in the 2014 Reorganization represented transactions under common control and were required to be retrospectively applied to the financial statements for all prior periods when the financial statements were issued for a period that included the date the transactions occurred. Therefore, our consolidated financial statements are presented as if WCAS Holdings and Holdings were wholly-owned subsidiaries in periods prior to the 2014 Reorganization. The acquisition of CP IV Blocker was not deemed to be a reorganization under common control and therefore our historical consolidated financial statements for periods prior to January 1, 2014 include the ownership of a minority equity interest in CP IV Blocker, which was eliminated upon the acquisition of CP IV Blocker on January 1, 2014.
	Our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial results of Software, WCAS Holdings, CP IV Blocker and Holdings, effective January 1, 2014. Intercompany balances and transactions were eliminated in consolidation.
	Unless we state otherwise or the context otherwise requires, the terms “we,” “us,” “our” and the “Company” refer, prior to the 2014 Reorganization, to Holdings, Holdings’ consolidated subsidiaries and WCAS Holdings collectively and, after the 2014 Reorganization, to Software and its consolidated subsidiaries.
	Basis of Presentation
	The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial statements that permit reduced disclosure for interim periods. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments necessary to fairly present our condensed consolidated financial position as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, our condensed consolidated results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 and our condensed consolidated cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013. Such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in in conjunction with our final prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) (the “Prospectus”) with the SEC on April 15, 2014.
	Use of Estimates
	The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant estimates include the useful life for long-lived and intangible assets, the life of our client relationships, the fair market value of our equity incentive awards and the fair value of our financial instruments. These estimates are based on historical experience where applicable and other assumptions that management believes are reasonable under circumstances. As such, actual results could materially differ from these estimates.
	Segment Information
	We operate in a single operating segment and a single reporting segment and all required financial segment information is presented in the condensed consolidated financial statements.
	Anti-Dilutive Securities
	We excluded 1,984,938 shares of restricted stock from the diluted earnings per share calculation for the three months ended June 30, 2014 because they were anti-dilutive.
	Subsequent Events
	We have evaluated subsequent events for recognition or disclosure in our condensed consolidated financial statements and determined that no subsequent events would require adjustment to the condensed consolidated financial statements or additional disclosure other than the information disclosed herein. See “Note 13-Subsequent Events.”
	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
	Software’s significant accounting policies discussed in Note 2 to its audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year December 31, 2013 included in the Prospectus filed with the SEC on April 15, 2014, have not changed.
	Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
	In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued authoritative guidance which added new disclosure requirements to measure obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation within the scope of this guidance is fixed at the reporting date and disclose the arrangements and the total outstanding amount of obligation for all parties. We adopted this new guidance for the six months ended June 30, 2014, which did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
	In July 2013, the FASB issued authoritative guidance which requires entities to present an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward. We adopted this new guidance for the six months ended June 30, 2014, which did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
	In May 2014, the FASB issued authoritative guidance which included a comprehensive new revenue recognition model that requires revenue to be recognized in a manner to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received in exchange for those goods or services. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016, and early adoption is not permitted. Accordingly, the standard is effective for us on January 1, 2017. We are currently evaluating the impact that the standard will have on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
	In June 2014, the FASB issued authoritative guidance for share-based payments which requires that a performance target that affects vesting, and that could be achieved after the requisite service period, be treated as a performance condition. As such, the performance target should not be reflected in estimating the grant date fair value of the award. This update further clarifies that compensation cost should be recognized in the period in which it becomes probable that the performance target will be achieved and should represent the compensation cost attributable to the period(s) for which the requisite service has already been rendered. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Accordingly, the standard is effective for us on January 1, 2016. We do not anticipate that the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

FUNDS HELD FOR CLIENTS AND CLIENT FUNDS OBLIGATION	'
	4. FUNDS HELD FOR CLIENTS AND CLIENT FUNDS OBLIGATION
	As part of our payroll and tax filing application, we collect funds for federal, state and local employment taxes from clients, handle applicable regulatory tax filings, correspondence and amendments, remit the funds to appropriate tax agencies, and handle other employer-related services. Amounts collected by us from clients for their federal, state and local employment taxes earn interest during the interval between receipt and disbursement, as we invest these funds in money market funds and certificates of deposit. These collections from clients are typically disbursed from one to 30 days after receipt, with some funds being held for up to 120 days. These investments are shown in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as “Funds held for clients”, and the offsetting liability for the tax filings is shown as “Client funds obligation.” As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the funds held for clients were invested in demand deposits, short-term certificates of deposit and money market funds. The interest earned on these funds is included in “Other income (expense), net”, on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

	-1	In December 2011, we consolidated pre-existing construction loans for the construction of a new corporate headquarters, processing center and gymnasium into a term note (the “2011 Consolidated Loan”). Under the 2011 Consolidated Loan, principal and interest was payable monthly based on a 20 year amortization rate of 5.0%. The 2011 Consolidated Loan was collateralized by a first mortgage covering our original corporate headquarters building and was secured by a first lien security interest in certain personal property relating to our original corporate headquarters building. As of June 30, 2014, the 2011 Consolidated Loan was consolidated into the 2021 Consolidated Loan. See note (3) below for more information on, and the definition of, the 2021 Consolidated Loan.
	-2	In March 2013, we entered into a construction loan agreement for the construction of a second building at our corporate headquarters with Kirkpatrick Bank due May 1, 2015, which allowed for a maximum principal amount of $12.3 million (the “2013 Construction Loan”). The 2013 Construction Loan was secured by a first mortgage covering the second headquarters building and a first lien security interest in certain personal property relating to the second headquarters building. Under the 2013 Construction Loan, interest accrued monthly at the Wall Street Journal U.S. Prime Rate plus 0.5%, adjusted monthly, subject to a minimum interest rate of 4.0% per annum. Interest on the 2013 Construction Loan was payable monthly on the first day of each month. This loan, along with the 2011 Consolidated Loan, was converted into a term loan in July 2013.
	In November 2013, we entered into a loan agreement for the purchase of approximately 18.3 acres for future expansion at our headquarters with Kirkpatrick Bank, which allowed for a maximum principal amount of $3.0 million (“2013 Land Loan”). Under the 2013 Land Loan, interest accrued monthly at the Wall Street Journal U.S. Prime Rate plus 0.5%, adjusted monthly, subject to a minimum interest rate of 4.0% per annum.
	In December 2013, we consolidated the 2013 Construction Loan and the 2013 Land Loan (“2013 Consolidated Loan”) under a modification agreement that increased the combined maximum principal amount of the 2013 Consolidated Loan to $14.6 million. The 2013 Consolidated Loan was secured by a first mortgage covering all of the second headquarters building and a first lien security interest in certain personal property relating to the second headquarters building. Under the 2013 Consolidated Loan, interest accrued monthly at the Wall Street Journal U.S. Prime rate plus 0.5%, adjusted monthly, subject to a minimum interest rate of 4.0% per annum. As of June 30, 2014, the 2013 Consolidated Loan was consolidated into the 2021 Consolidated Loan. See note (3) below for more information on, and the definition of, the 2021 Consolidated Loan.
	The 2011 Consolidated Loan and the 2013 Consolidated Loan were subject to certain financial covenants, as defined in the applicable agreement, including maintaining a debt coverage ratio of indebtedness (defined as current maturities of long-term debt, interest expense and distributions) to EBITDA of less than 1.5 to 1.0. As of December 31, 2013, we were not in compliance with the financial covenant related to the debt coverage ratio. We obtained a letter of waiver from the lender that excluded this item from the calculation as of December 31, 2013 and which remains in effect through April 30, 2015. We were in compliance with the financial covenant related to the debt coverage ratio as of June 30, 2014.
	-3	In June 2014, our only outstanding indebtedness consisted of a term note under a Loan Agreement (the “2021 Consolidated Loan”) with an outstanding principal balance of $27.4 million as of June 30, 2014. The 2021 Consolidated Loan is due to Kirkpatrick Bank and matures on May 30, 2021. Under the 2021 Consolidated Loan, interest is payable monthly and accrues at a fixed rate of 4.75% per annum. The 2021 Consolidated Loan is secured by a mortgage covering our headquarters buildings and certain personal property relating to our headquarters buildings.
	-4	In April 2014, we paid off the balance of the 2017 Note that was issued by WCAS Holdings and was payable to Welsh, Carson, Anderson & Stowe X, L.P., a related party (“WCAS X”) with proceeds from our IPO. The 2017 Note accrued interest at a rate of 14% per annum. As of December 31, 2013, the outstanding principal balance of the 2017 Note was $46.2 million.
	-5	In April 2014, we paid off the balance of the 10% Senior Note due 2022 (the “2022 Note”) with WCAS Capital Partners IV, L.P., a related party (“WCAS CP IV”) with proceeds from our IPO and from existing cash. The 2022 Note accrued interest at a rate of 10% per annum. As of December 31, 2013, the outstanding principal amount of the 2022 Note was $18.8 million.
	The 2022 Note was issued at a discount of $2.4 million. In conjunction with the payoff of this note, we wrote off the remaining, unamortized discount of $0.5 million. The total unamortized discount related to this note was $4.1 million as of December 31, 2013.
	As of June 30, 2014, the carrying value and fair value of our total long-term debt, including the current portion were $27.4 million. As of December 31, 2013, the carrying value and fair value of our total long-term debt, including the current portion, were $82.0 million and $84.9 million, respectively. The fair value of variable rate long-term debt approximates its market value because the cost of borrowing fluctuates based upon market conditions. The fair value of fixed rate long-term debt is estimated based on the borrowing rates currently available to us for bank loans with similar terms and maturities.

	6. EMPLOYEE SAVINGS PLAN
	Our employees that are over the age of 21 and have completed 90 days of service are eligible to participate in our 401(k) plan. We have made a Qualified Automatic Contribution Arrangement (“QACA”) election, whereby we make a matching contribution equal to 100% of the first 1% of salary deferrals and 50% of salary deferrals between 2% and 6%, up to a maximum matching contribution of 3.5% of salary each plan year for our employees. We are allowed to make additional discretionary matching contributions and discretionary profit sharing contributions. Employees are 100% vested in amounts attributable to salary deferrals and rollover contributions. The QACA matching contributions will be 100% vested after two years of employment from the date of hire. If an employee terminates service prior to completing two years of employment, the employee will not be vested in these contributions. The discretionary contributions are vested over a six year period. Matching contributions amounted to $0.4 million and $0.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively. Matching contributions amounted to $0.2 million and $0.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS	6 Months Ended

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS	'
	7. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
	Our financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, funds held for clients, client funds obligation, long-term debt and derivative liability. The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, funds held for clients and client fund obligations approximates fair value because of the short-term nature of the instruments.
	We measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value at each reporting period. Fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. A financial instrument’s classification within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Three levels of inputs may be used to measure fair value are as follow:
	Level 1—Unadjusted observable inputs that reflect quoted prices in active markets
	Level 2—Input other than quoted prices in active markets that are directly or indirectly observable
	Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity
	We use observable data, when available. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, we did not have any transfers between Levels 1, 2 or 3 in the three-tier fair value hierarchy.
	We had no financial assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2014. The following tables provide a summary of the fair value of financial instruments that are measured on a recurring basis using the above input categories as of December 31, 2013:
		December 31, 2013
		Level 1			Level 2			Level 3		Total
	Liabilities
	Derivative liability	$	—		$	—		$	1,107	$	1,107
		$	—		$	—		$	1,107	$	1,107
	The derivative liability related to the 2022 Note was classified as a Level 3 financial instrument due to valuation being based upon significant unobservable inputs. See “Note 5 Long-Term Debt” for additional information.
	The key inputs used to calculate the fair value of the embedded derivative are: probability of exit, remaining term, yield volatility, credit spread, and risk-free rate. In general, increases in the probability of exit, credit spread, and risk-free rate would increase the value of the embedded derivative. Conversely, increases in the remaining term and yield volatility would decrease the value of the embedded derivative.
	Quantitative information regarding significant unobservable inputs used for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements of financial instruments were as follows as of December 31, 2013:
		Significant unobservable input(s) / sensitivity of the fair value to the
		changes in the unobservable inputs
		December 31, 2013
		Valuation Technique		Key Inputs	Range
	Derivative Liability	Lattice Model		Probability of exit	90%
				Remaining term	0.8 years - 8.3 years
				Yield Volatility	21.4% - 31.1%
				Credit Spread	8.90%
				Risk-free rate	0.13% - 2.45%
	The following table summarizes the changes in fair value of our Level 3 financial instruments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2014:
		Three Months			Six Months

Total change in fair value of derivative liability, including write-off of the balance due to payoff of the associated loan, recognized as “Other income (expense), net” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income, was $(0.5 million) and $(1.1 million) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively.

	Prior to the 2014 Reorganization, Holdings had four authorized classes of limited liability company interests (each a “unit”). Series A Preferred Units were voting units with first priority of distribution, entitled to a preferred yield (as defined within our limited liability company agreement) of 9% with regard to certain future asset distributions and conversion features. Series B Preferred Units were non-voting units, entitled to receive distributions only after certain conditions were met. Common units were voting units. Incentive units were non-voting units reserved for issuance to our employees, officers, directors and other service providers.
	On January 1, 2014, we consummated the 2014 Reorganization, pursuant to which: (i) affiliates of Welsh, Carson, Anderson & Stowe, L.P., contributed WCAS Holdings and CP IV Blocker, which collectively own all of the Series A Preferred Units of Holdings, to Software in exchange for shares of common stock of Software and (ii) the owners of outstanding Series B Preferred Units of Holdings contributed their Series B Preferred Units of Holdings to Software in exchange for shares of common stock of Software. Immediately after these contributions, Merger Sub merged with and into Holdings with Holdings surviving the merger. Upon consummation of the merger, the remaining holders of outstanding common and incentive units of Holdings received shares of common stock of Software for their common and incentive units by operation of Delaware law and Holdings’ ownership interest in Software was cancelled. Outstanding common units, Series B Preferred Units and WCAS Holdings and CP IV Blocker were contributed to Software in exchange for, or converted into, 45,708,573 shares of common stock and 8,121,101 shares of restricted common stock of Software.
	The shares of restricted stock were issued subject to various vesting conditions. A portion of the restricted stock is subject to time-based vesting conditions, while the remaining portion is subject to performance-based vesting conditions. The performance-based vesting conditions are based on our total enterprise value exceeding certain specified thresholds. For additional information concerning the vesting conditions of the restricted stock, see “Executive Compensation—Narrative Discussion Regarding Summary Compensation Table—Equity Incentive Units and Restricted Stock Awards” included in the Prospectus filed with the SEC on April 15, 2014.
	Following these transactions, all outstanding Series C Preferred Units were eliminated in an intercompany transaction between Holdings and WCAS Holdings, and we assumed the 2017 Note. As a result of the 2014 Reorganization, we recorded a one-time reclassification of $29.6 million of historical accumulated deficit to additional paid in capital on January 1, 2014. Following the 2014 Reorganization, Software became a holding company with its principal asset being the Series A Preferred Units of Holdings.
	As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, there was $1.1 million and $1.3 million, respectively, of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested restricted stock issued to employees. The unrecognized compensation cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.9 years. On April 21, 2014, 217,378 shares of restricted stock automatically vested and converted into shares of common stock.

The Trust provided $2.0 million as an up-front job creation payment for the construction of certain public infrastructure improvements related to our new principal executive offices in northwest Oklahoma City. In exchange for the funding, we agreed to create at least 492 jobs over a five year period, with an average first year salary in excess of $37 thousand and make a minimum capital investment in the project of at least $15.0 million. We further agreed that we would be responsible for repayment of any amount that was not offset by earned job creation payments. As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we had earned $1.8 million and $1.5 million of job creation payments, respectively. We believe that we will fulfill the obligations under this agreement within the time frame specified.
	Legal Proceedings
	In July 2013, Dr. Lakshmi Arunachalam filed a complaint against Paycom Payroll, LLC (“Paycom”) in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware alleging that Paycom infringes on U.S. Patent No. 8,244,833 assigned to her. Paycom denied all claims made against it by Dr. Arunachalam in her complaint, asserted various defenses and counterclaims for non-infringement and challenged the validity and enforceability of U.S. Patent No. 8,244,833. The initial lawsuit was dismissed and a complaint was filed by Pi-Net International, Inc. on April 18, 2014, along with the claims of infringement of two additional patents, U.S. Patent No. 5,987,500 and U.S. Patent No. 8,108,492.
	On July 1, 2014, Paycom, Webexchange, Inc., Dr. Arunachalam, and Pi-Net International, Inc. entered into a confidential settlement agreement. As part of this settlement agreement, Pi-Net International, Inc. and Paycom entered a stipulation of dismissal with prejudice on July 1, 2014.
	We are involved in various other legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business. Although we cannot predict the outcome of these proceedings, legal matters are subject to inherent uncertainties and there exists the possibility that the ultimate resolution of these matters could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
	Operating Leases
	We lease office space under several noncancellable operating leases with contractual terms expiring from 2014 to 2019. Minimum rent expenses are recognized over the lease term. The lease term is defined as the fixed noncancellable term of the lease plus all periods, if any, for which failure to renew the lease imposes a penalty on us in an amount that a renewal appears, at the inception of the lease, to be reasonably assured. When a lease contains a predetermined fixed escalation of the minimum rent, we recognize the related rent expense on a straight-line basis and record the difference between the recognized rent expense and the amount payable under the lease as a liability.
	Future annual minimum lease payments under noncancellable operating leases with initial or remaining terms of one year or more at June 30, 2014 were as follows:
	Year Ending December 31,	Operating
	2014	$	1,566

	Total minimum lease payments	$	13,660
	On July 3, 2014, we entered into a new lease for our Boston sales office. This new lease replaces the lease that had previously been in place. The new lease increases total future minimum lease payments by $1.3 million and is not included in the table above.
	Rent expense under operating leases for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 was $0.8 million and $1.4 million, respectively. Rent expense under operating leases for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 was $0.5 million and $0.9 million, respectively.

	12. INCOME TAXES
	The provision for income taxes is based on a current estimate of the annual effective income tax rate adjusted to reflect the impact of discrete items. Significant management judgment is required in estimating operating income in order to determine our estimated effective income tax rate. The effective income tax rate was 42.82% and 31.95% for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The effective income tax rate was 42.06% and 32.01% for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The higher effective income tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 is primarily a result of our 2014 Reorganization, as the 2013 effective income tax rate only includes WCAS Holdings which has historically been treated as a consolidated corporation that is taxed under Subchapter C of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (a “Subchapter C Corporation”).
	As a result of the 2014 Reorganization, we are treated as a Subchapter C Corporation and, therefore, subject to both federal and state income taxes. Holdings continues to be recognized as a wholly-owned partnership for income tax purposes. Accordingly, we recorded a one-time non-cash charge to equity of $0.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, for the amount of the deferred tax liability resulting from the exchange of common units, incentive units and Series B Preferred Units of Holdings for common stock and restricted stock of Software as part of the 2014 Reorganization.
	Pro Forma Income Tax Expense
	In connection with the 2014 Reorganization, we became taxed as a Subchapter C Corporation effective January 1, 2014.The pro forma net income applied in computing the pro forma EPS for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 is based on our historical net income as adjusted to reflect our conversion to a Subchapter C Corporation as if it had occurred as of January 1, 2013. The pro forma net income includes an adjustment to income tax expense, the amount of which was determined at an effective tax rate of 46.9%, which resulted in an incremental pro forma income tax expense of $0.1 million and $0.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively.

	Paycom Software, Inc. (“Software”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Payroll Software Merger Sub, LLC (“Merger Sub”) were formed as Delaware entities on October 31, 2013, and December 23, 2013, respectively, in anticipation of an initial public offering (“IPO”) and were wholly-owned subsidiaries of Paycom Payroll, LLC (“Paycom”) prior to December 31, 2013.
	On January 1, 2014, we consummated a reorganization pursuant to which: (i) affiliates of Welsh, Carson, Anderson & Stowe, L.P. contributed WCAS Paycom Holdings, Inc. (“WCAS Holdings”) and WCAS CP IV Blocker, Inc. (“CP IV Blocker”), which collectively own all of the Series A Preferred Units of Paycom Payroll Holdings, LLC (“Holdings”), to Software in exchange for shares of common stock of Software and (ii) the owners of outstanding Series B Preferred Units of Holdings contributed their Series B Preferred Units of Holdings to Software in exchange for shares of common stock of Software. Immediately after these contributions, Merger Sub merged with and into Holdings with Holdings surviving the merger. Upon consummation of the merger, the remaining holders of outstanding common and incentive units of Holdings received shares of common stock of Software for their common and incentive units by operation of Delaware law and Holdings’ ownership interest in Software was cancelled. Outstanding common units, Series B Preferred Units and WCAS Holdings and CP IV Blocker were contributed to Software in exchange for, or converted into, 45,708,573 shares of common stock and 8,121,101 shares of restricted stock of Software. Following these transactions, all outstanding Series C Preferred Units were eliminated in an intercompany transaction between Holdings and WCAS Holdings, and we assumed the 14% Note due 2017 issued by WCAS Holdings (the “2017 Note”). Following the reorganization, Software became a holding company with its principal asset being the Series A Preferred Units of Holdings (collectively, the “2014 Reorganization”).
	Software’s acquisition of WCAS Holdings and Holdings in the 2014 Reorganization represented transactions under common control and were required to be retrospectively applied to the financial statements for all prior periods when the financial statements were issued for a period that included the date the transactions occurred. Therefore, our consolidated financial statements are presented as if WCAS Holdings and Holdings were wholly-owned subsidiaries in periods prior to the 2014 Reorganization. The acquisition of CP IV Blocker was not deemed to be a reorganization under common control and therefore our historical consolidated financial statements for periods prior to January 1, 2014 include the ownership of a minority equity interest in CP IV Blocker, which was eliminated upon the acquisition of CP IV Blocker on January 1, 2014.
	Our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial results of Software, WCAS Holdings, CP IV Blocker and Holdings, effective January 1, 2014. Intercompany balances and transactions were eliminated in consolidation.
	Unless we state otherwise or the context otherwise requires, the terms “we,” “us,” “our” and the “Company” refer, prior to the 2014 Reorganization, to Holdings, Holdings’ consolidated subsidiaries and WCAS Holdings collectively and, after the 2014 Reorganization, to Software and its consolidated subsidiaries.

Significant estimates include the useful life for long-lived and intangible assets, the life of our client relationships, the fair market value of our equity incentive awards and the fair value of our financial instruments. These estimates are based on historical experience where applicable and other assumptions that management believes are reasonable under circumstances. As such, actual results could materially differ from these estimates.

	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements	'
	Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
	In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued authoritative guidance which added new disclosure requirements to measure obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation within the scope of this guidance is fixed at the reporting date and disclose the arrangements and the total outstanding amount of obligation for all parties. We adopted this new guidance for the six months ended June 30, 2014, which did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
	In July 2013, the FASB issued authoritative guidance which requires entities to present an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward. We adopted this new guidance for the six months ended June 30, 2014, which did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
	In May 2014, the FASB issued authoritative guidance which included a comprehensive new revenue recognition model that requires revenue to be recognized in a manner to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received in exchange for those goods or services. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016, and early adoption is not permitted. Accordingly, the standard is effective for us on January 1, 2017. We are currently evaluating the impact that the standard will have on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
	In June 2014, the FASB issued authoritative guidance for share-based payments which requires that a performance target that affects vesting, and that could be achieved after the requisite service period, be treated as a performance condition. As such, the performance target should not be reflected in estimating the grant date fair value of the award. This update further clarifies that compensation cost should be recognized in the period in which it becomes probable that the performance target will be achieved and should represent the compensation cost attributable to the period(s) for which the requisite service has already been rendered. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Accordingly, the standard is effective for us on January 1, 2016. We do not anticipate that the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

	-1	In December 2011, we consolidated pre-existing construction loans for the construction of a new corporate headquarters, processing center and gymnasium into a term note (the “2011 Consolidated Loan”). Under the 2011 Consolidated Loan, principal and interest was payable monthly based on a 20 year amortization rate of 5.0%. The 2011 Consolidated Loan was collateralized by a first mortgage covering our original corporate headquarters building and was secured by a first lien security interest in certain personal property relating to our original corporate headquarters building. As of June 30, 2014, the 2011 Consolidated Loan was consolidated into the 2021 Consolidated Loan. See note (3) below for more information on, and the definition of, the 2021 Consolidated Loan.
	-2	In March 2013, we entered into a construction loan agreement for the construction of a second building at our corporate headquarters with Kirkpatrick Bank due May 1, 2015, which allowed for a maximum principal amount of $12.3 million (the “2013 Construction Loan”). The 2013 Construction Loan was secured by a first mortgage covering the second headquarters building and a first lien security interest in certain personal property relating to the second headquarters building. Under the 2013 Construction Loan, interest accrued monthly at the Wall Street Journal U.S. Prime Rate plus 0.5%, adjusted monthly, subject to a minimum interest rate of 4.0% per annum. Interest on the 2013 Construction Loan was payable monthly on the first day of each month. This loan, along with the 2011 Consolidated Loan, was converted into a term loan in July 2013.
	In November 2013, we entered into a loan agreement for the purchase of approximately 18.3 acres for future expansion at our headquarters with Kirkpatrick Bank, which allowed for a maximum principal amount of $3.0 million (“2013 Land Loan”). Under the 2013 Land Loan, interest accrued monthly at the Wall Street Journal U.S. Prime Rate plus 0.5%, adjusted monthly, subject to a minimum interest rate of 4.0% per annum.
	In December 2013, we consolidated the 2013 Construction Loan and the 2013 Land Loan (“2013 Consolidated Loan”) under a modification agreement that increased the combined maximum principal amount of the 2013 Consolidated Loan to $14.6 million. The 2013 Consolidated Loan was secured by a first mortgage covering all of the second headquarters building and a first lien security interest in certain personal property relating to the second headquarters building. Under the 2013 Consolidated Loan, interest accrued monthly at the Wall Street Journal U.S. Prime rate plus 0.5%, adjusted monthly, subject to a minimum interest rate of 4.0% per annum. As of June 30, 2014, the 2013 Consolidated Loan was consolidated into the 2021 Consolidated Loan. See note (3) below for more information on, and the definition of, the 2021 Consolidated Loan.
	The 2011 Consolidated Loan and the 2013 Consolidated Loan were subject to certain financial covenants, as defined in the applicable agreement, including maintaining a debt coverage ratio of indebtedness (defined as current maturities of long-term debt, interest expense and distributions) to EBITDA of less than 1.5 to 1.0. As of December 31, 2013, we were not in compliance with the financial covenant related to the debt coverage ratio. We obtained a letter of waiver from the lender that excluded this item from the calculation as of December 31, 2013 and which remains in effect through April 30, 2015. We were in compliance with the financial covenant related to the debt coverage ratio as of June 30, 2014.
	-3	In June 2014, our only outstanding indebtedness consisted of a term note under a Loan Agreement (the “2021 Consolidated Loan”) with an outstanding principal balance of $27.4 million as of June 30, 2014. The 2021 Consolidated Loan is due to Kirkpatrick Bank and matures on May 30, 2021. Under the 2021 Consolidated Loan, interest is payable monthly and accrues at a fixed rate of 4.75% per annum. The 2021 Consolidated Loan is secured by a mortgage covering our headquarters buildings and certain personal property relating to our headquarters buildings.
	-4	In April 2014, we paid off the balance of the 2017 Note that was issued by WCAS Holdings and was payable to Welsh, Carson, Anderson & Stowe X, L.P., a related party (“WCAS X”) with proceeds from our IPO. The 2017 Note accrued interest at a rate of 14% per annum. As of December 31, 2013, the outstanding principal balance of the 2017 Note was $46.2 million.
	-5	In April 2014, we paid off the balance of the 10% Senior Note due 2022 (the “2022 Note”) with WCAS Capital Partners IV, L.P., a related party (“WCAS CP IV”) with proceeds from our IPO and from existing cash. The 2022 Note accrued interest at a rate of 10% per annum. As of December 31, 2013, the outstanding principal amount of the 2022 Note was $18.8 million.
