AUSTIN, TX, May 12, 2010 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --Asure Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: ASUR), a leading provider of workforce management software, today announced financial results for the fiscal first quarter 2010, ended March 31, 2010.

Q1 Highlights:

• Revenue growth of 2%, excluding divested Visual Asset Manager (VAM),
  $0.1M%, over the comparable period in 2009. iEmployee grew 5% vs. the
  comparable period in 2009; while Netsimplicity, excluding VAM, was
  neutral on a year over year basis for the same period in 2009.
  
• EBITDA* gain of $0.1M vs. a loss ($1.0M) in the same period in 2009
  (See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" section below).
  
• Net loss of ($0.2M), ($0.06) per share vs. a loss of ($1.4M), ($0.44)
  per share, for the same period in 2009. The net loss is comprised of
  ($0.1M) related to Austin HQ excess lease impact and ($0.1M) related to
  the core business lines margin.
  
• Operating Expenses reduced by 44%, or ($1.5M) compared to the same
  period in 2009 largely due to both headcount & rate per head
  efficiencies as well as other cost reductions. One-time costs in both
  Q1 2009 and Q1 2010 were immaterial.

Asure's Chief Executive Officer, Pat Goepel, remarked: "On the heels of positive results last reporting period, we're satisfied with our performance for our fiscal first quarter. Last earnings call, we discussed an outlook of positive EBITDA and potentially breakeven results for our core business operations, excluding the negative impact of our prior Austin headquarters lease arrangement. As part of this turnaround effort, and as was recently announced, we have solved our lease problem, and have guided for strong positive results in the 2nd half of 2010 and as we move forward. Although our core business reported a slight operating loss in the first quarter, we expect improved and positive results beginning in the current second fiscal quarter, excluding one-time charges related to the lease termination. With the distraction, and P&L drain of our lease behind us, we are laser focused on improving our top line and keeping our low cost structure intact."

Dave Scoglio, Asure's Chief Financial Officer, added: "In light of the expected ($0.41) per share charge related to the termination of our lease in fiscal Q2 2010, we are expecting our core business to begin to perform to shareholder's expectations, including double digit revenue growth vs. the comparable period in 2009. We would like to confirm our operational outlook, included below, at this time, and are hopeful that shareholders will be pleased with future results as our renewed cost structure begins to bear fruit. Additionally, as net profits materialize, we expect to utilize our significant Net Operating Loss carry forwards."

Pat Goepel continued, "In addition to our focus on revenue, Asure is investing in new products and services which should add to our momentum, and ultimately drive our 20/20 plan for growth in Revenue and EBITDA. We remain optimistic that we can achieve our revenue plan including preserving a substantial proportion of our Ceridian related revenue stream. In addition, we are already launching new products and partner channels, like NetSimplicity's public calendar module, and iEmployee's newest premier payroll partner, Advantec. We've made great strides in leveraging partnerships, and continue to look for value added resellers to facilitate further penetration into existing and new markets in the near future."
