Management Commentary

Pat Goepel, Chief Executive Officer of Asure Software commented, "We are extremely pleased with continued consumer demand for SaaS-based solutions among our workforce management and workspace management product lines. Key sales and bookings for this quarter include PSSI in the U.S. and PriceWaterhouseCoopers and KPMG in the UK. These relationships are driven by prospect and customer needs for innovative technology solutions and a long-term strategic partnership that helps them meet their people, time and space needs around managing global, mobile workforces. Our continued focus on bringing highly differentiated SaaS solutions to the market has been well accepted by the market and we expect this trend to continue."

Kristi Richburg, Asure's Controller & Interim Chief Financial Officer added, "Improvements in net income in the second quarter reflect our lower cost of debt under our new financial arrangement with Wells Fargo. We are also pleased with our year over year performance with increased Cloud revenue. We expect to be at the lower end of our revenue and EBITDA guidance for the full year. However, driven by an uptick in bookings, we anticipate a stronger second half of the year and expect year over year growth in both revenue and EBITDA along with continued positive free cash generation in the second half of the year and expect continued growth in 2015."

"Safe Harbor" Statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995:

Statements in this press release regarding Asure's business which are not historical facts are "forward-looking statements" that involve risks and uncertainties. Such risks and uncertainties could cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements.

*Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release includes the following financial measures defined as non-GAAP financial measures by the Securities and Exchange Commission: EBITDA and GAAP Net Income/(Loss) excluding one-time items. These supplemental financial measures are not required by GAAP, nor is the presentation of this financial information intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. Management recognizes that non-GAAP financial measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the items associated with Asure's earnings results as determined in accordance with GAAP. However, for the reasons described below, management uses these non-GAAP measures to evaluate the performance of Asure's business. Asure's management believes that it is important to provide investors with these same tools, together with reconciliation to GAAP, for evaluating the performance of Asure's business, as it may provide additional insight into Asure's financial results. See the "Reconciliation of GAAP Net Income/(Loss) to Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, Amortization and Stock Compensation Expense (EBITDA)" and the "Reconciliation of GAAP Net Income/(Loss) to Net Earnings Excluding One-Time Items" tables included in this press release for further information regarding these non-GAAP financial measures. In addition, these measures are presented because management believes they are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and others in the evaluation of companies. EBITDA is calculated by adding income taxes, interest expense, depreciation and amortization and stock compensation expense to net earnings. EBITDA is not defined under GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net earnings and other consolidated earnings data prepared in accordance with GAAP or as a measure of Asure's profitability.

Net Earnings Excluding One-Time Items is calculated by combining the company's GAAP Net Earnings, or earnings per share, with items that are one time in nature and are not expected to recur on a dollar or per share basis.

Free Cash Flow is computed by subtracting capital expenditures from cash flow from operations, each as determined in accordance with GAAP and as reflected in the statement of cash flows.

Non-GAAP Revenue is computed by adding back the deferred revenue fair market valuation to GAAP revenue.
