Asure Software Announces 1Q 2010 Financial Results

Austin, Texas, December 9, 2009. Asure Software (NASDAQ: ASUR), a leading provider of workforce management software, today announced financial results for the Fiscal 2010 first quarter, ended October 31, 2009.

Q1 Highlights:

As expected, revenue declined 4% vs. the previous quarter to $2.3M. iEmployee's revenue grew 3% compared to Q4 ‘09, driven largely by growth in clock sales, which grew 41% over Q4 ’09. Additionally, iEmployee posted record new bookings in Q1 ’10, a 69% improvement over Q4 ’09. NetSimplicity's revenue declined 12% vs. the previous quarter. This drop was anticipated as we transition the business from a perpetual license model to a SaaS model. Importantly, NetSim’s SaaS revenue component grew 10% over Q4 ’09.

Operating expenses decreased in Q1 2010 versus Q4 2009 by ($4.0M), (55%), due to both a significant decline in one-time costs, ($3.3M) and operational efficiency, ($0.7M). Q1 ’10 one-time costs were driven by final proxy contest charges and severance expenses. Operational efficiencies were realized in many areas, with the most significant being in Compensation. The full effect of recent reductions in force drove $0.5M in reduced operating expenses in Q1 ’10.

Q1 ’10 was EBITDA neutral, excluding one-time costs of $1.1M and excess net lease expense of $0.1M.

Pat Goepel, Asure’s Chief Executive Officer remarked “We will see a new Asure rise in 2010; we have drastically reduced operating costs and will put negative one-time events behind us as we move forward. The upcoming short period for November and December, 2009 will yield similar levels of adjusted EBITDA and going forward the only anticipated one-time costs will be in the form of investments to further enhance our products and services and improve operational efficiency. By calendar Q1, 2010, we expect to begin seeing the benefits of our growth plan and along with our normalized lower cost structure, expect to be EBITDA positive.”

“Furthermore,…” continued Goepel, “…Asure is committed to reducing exposure to our Austin Headquarters lease arrangement which can only accelerate our plan to become profitable for the calendar year 2010. We continue to believe that our business and assets are undervalued and we wish to inform shareholders that we presently have 1.2M shares available under our current stock buyback plan and we intend to be active in the near future.

Chairman of the Board, David Sandberg, added, “Lastly, in one week’s time we have an important Annual Meeting where we are asking shareholders to approve several proposals. Among these are non-routine votes seeking ratification of a 10-for-1 reverse split in order to retain our Nasdaq listing, a rights plan to protect our $150+ million in tax

loss carryforwards, and an equity plan to facilitate the granting of options as part of a new compensation plan to our employees given we have ended the furlough period but are retaining salaries at furlough levels. I represent the largest shareholder of the Company and I believe these proposals are the right moves for the Company and are in the shareholders’ best interests as we strive for value creation. For these reasons, I ask each shareholder to consider and vote in support of each of our proposals if you agree, and to do so in time for next week’s meeting. If you have not yet done so, please contact our proxy solicitor, InvestorCom, Inc., at (203) 972-9300.”
