("Asure" or the "Company") a Delaware corporation, is a provider of web-based workforce management solutions that enable organizations to manage their office environment as well as their human resource and payroll processes effectively and efficiently. The Company was incorporated in 1985 and has principal executive offices located at 110 Wild Basin Road, Austin, Texas 78746. The Company telephone number is (512) 437-2700 and the Company website is www.asuresoftware.com. The Company does not intend for information contained on its website to be part of this Annual Report on Form 10-K (the "Report"). Asure makes available free of charge, on or through its website, its annual report on Form 10-K, its quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, its current reports on Form 8-K, and amendments to those reports filed or furnished pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, as soon as reasonably practicable after the Company electronically files such material or furnishes it to the Securities and Exchange Commission. In September 2007, the Company announced its name change to “Asure Software” to reflect the Company’s focus on its software business for its future growth. As a software and services provider, in October 2007, Asure purchased iSarla Inc., a Delaware corporation and application service provider that offers on-demand software solutions. As a result of the iEmployee acquisition, the Company currently offers two main product lines in its software and services business: NetSimplicity and iEmployee. Asure’s NetSimplicity product line provides simple and affordable solutions to common office administration problems. NetSimplicity’s flagship product, Meeting Room Manager, automates the entire facility scheduling process: reserving rooms, requesting equipment, ordering food, sending invitations, reporting on the meeting environment and more. Asure’s iEmployee product line helps simplify the HR process and improves employee productivity by managing and communicating human resources, employee benefits and payroll information. iEmployee's web-based solutions include Time & Attendance, Timesheets, Human Resource Benefits, Expenses and others. Additional business information is contained elsewhere in this Report, including under Item 7 of Part II ( Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations ). On January 29, 2009, Asure’s Board announced its plan to take the Company private. Due to concerns including the loss of liquidity and reduced requirements for regular financial reporting and disclosure, a group of shareholders led by Red Oak Fund, LP (“Red Oak”) opposed the Go-Private effort. As shareholder vote counts substantiated that a majority of shareholders also opposed the go-private effort, the Board canceled the special meeting and withdrew its proposal to go private. Subsequently, Red Oak nominated a slate of board directors, and such slate was elected to replace Asure’s prior Board during the Company’s annual shareholders’ meeting on August 28, 2009. On October 1, 2011, the Company, through ADI Software, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Purchaser”), purchased substantially all of the assets and assumed certain liabilities of ADI Time, LLC (“Seller”) relating to its time and attendance software and management services business, pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement (“APA”) by and among the Company, Purchaser and Seller. The APA contains certain customary representations, warranties, indemnities and covenants of the Company, Purchaser and Seller. The purchase price for the assets consisted of $6,000 in cash and a promissory note of the Purchaser (“Purchaser Note”) in the aggregate principal amount of $1,095. The Purchaser Note bears interest at an annual rate of 0.16%, will mature on October 1, 2014, and is guaranteed by the Company. The Purchaser may offset any indemnification payments owed by the Seller under the APA against up to $1 million under the Purchaser Note. The cash portion of the purchase price was funded with the Company’s cash on hand and proceeds from the Credit Agreement and the Subordinated Notes. On December 14, 2011, the Company, through Asure Legiant, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Purchaser”), purchased substantially all of the assets and assumed certain liabilities of WG Ross Corp., d/b/a Legiant (“Seller”), relating to its cloud computing time and attendance software and management services pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement (“APA”) by and among the Company, Purchaser, Seller and, with respect to Section 6.6 only, ADI Software, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The APA contains certain customary representations, warranties, indemnities and covenants of the Company, Purchaser and Seller. The purchase price for the assets was $4,000, consisting of $1,511 in cash and three subordinated promissory notes of the Purchaser in the aggregate principal amount of $2,489, as adjusted pursuant to the terms of the APA. One of the promissory notes is for an aggregate principal amount of $250, bears interest at an annual rate of 0.20%, and will mature on February 1, 2012. The second promissory note is for an aggregate principal amount of $478, bears interest at an annual rate of 5.00%, and will mature on October 1, 2014. The third promissory note is for an aggregate principal amount of $1,761, bears interest at an annual rate of 0.20%, and will mature on October 1, 2014. The Purchaser may offset any indemnification payments owed by the Seller under the APA against up to $1 million under the third promissory note. All three promissory notes are guaranteed by the Company and are subordinated to the Company’s bank financing. The cash portion of the purchase price was funded with the Company’s cash on hand and proceeds from the Company’s bank financing. Table of Contents 3 According to the Nasdaq Capital Markets Rule 5550 (b) on Continue Listing Standards for Primary Equity Securities, the Company failed to meet the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement of $2,500 as of December 31, 2011. The Company's stockholders’ equity as of December 31, 2011 was $2,064. The Company did not meet this requirement primarily due to the mark-to-market impact of the derivative liability associated with the subordinated convertible notes outstanding. Subsequent to December 31, 2011, the terms of the subordinated convertible notes were amended to eliminate the embedded derivative features resulting in a settlement or extinguishment of the derivative liability. The Company estimates that the impact of this transaction will result in the Company exceeding the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement as of March 31, 2012. The Company has informed Nasdaq's MarketWatch department regarding this matter. PRODUCTS AND SERVICES Asure Software, Inc. is a provider of cloud based workplace management solutions that enable organizations to manage their office environment and human resource processes effectively and efficiently. Asure Software offers two main product lines which provide workspace management solutions and workforce management solutions. These services are delivered to customers under the “SaaS” model, which is software as a service offered on a subscription basis. In recent years, this has come to be referred to as a “cloud based” solution. Asure Software’s workspace management solution (Netsimplicity) automates the scheduling of a facility, including reserving rooms, requesting equipment, ordering food, sending invitations, and reporting on the meeting environment. This solution includes a Microsoft Outlook add-on which provides additional scheduling tools that Outlook is unable to provide. The software can be accessed from a browser, Microsoft Outlook, mobile devices, or from LCD panels that Asure provides. Asure Software is a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner, which means that solution team “is the top level of Microsoft solutions partners and have access to the tools and support they need to help them stand out in the marketplace.” The Company believes that this certification is a testament to the quality of Asure Software’s workspace management solution. Asure Software’s workforce management product line simplifies HR processes and improves productivity by managing and communicating human resource information, employee benefits and payroll information. This solution set includes Time & Labor Management, Timesheets, Expenses, Accrual Management and other features which further enable HR Management teams with full featured workforce management solutions. The software products associated with this product line include iEmployee, ADI Time and Legiant. Asure Software also has a proprietary line of time clocks and mobile applications which complement the workforce management software product set. The time clocks provide bar code, proximity and biometric inputs options which give options to best fit the client environmental needs. The Company believes these technology additions continue to improve the its ability to provide HR management solutions to all employees through every communication medium. To help expand and grow the company, Asure Software recently acquired ADI Time and Legiant who are leading providers of cloud computing time and attendance solutions. These acquisitions provided the company with a complementary client base in manufacturing, healthcare, retail and distribution industries among others. Following these acquisitions, Asure Software’s workforce management and workplace management solutions have approximately 1,550 and 1,000 customers, respectively. The Company has a base of multinationals that it services, including such companies as Microsoft, McDonalds, and Nike, Inc. Support and professional services are other key elements of Asure’s software and services business. As an extension of its perpetual software product offerings, Asure offers its customers maintenance and support contracts that provide ready access to qualified support staff, software patches and upgrades to the Company’s software products, all without any additional cost to the customer. At the customer’s request, the Company provides installation of and training on its products, add-on software customization, and other professional services PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT The technology industry is characterized by continuing improvements in technology, resulting in the frequent introduction of new products, short product life cycles, changes in customer needs and continual improvement in product performance characteristics. To be successful, Asure strives to be cost-effective and timely in enhancing its current software applications, developing new innovative software solutions that address the increasingly sophisticated and varied needs of an evolving range of customers, and anticipating technological advances and evolving industry standards and practices. Asure’s strategy is to deliver the right technology to its customer base in order to realize efficiencies in the workplace. Table of Contents 4 Asure Software’s development teams are located in Warwick, Rhode Island and Austin, Texas, and are staffed with software developers, quality assurance engineers and support specialists who work closely with the Company’s customers and the Company’s sales and marketing teams to build products based on market requirements and customer feedback. The product roadmaps are developed based on inputs from customers, competitive comparisons, and relevant technology innovations. The Company’s research and development strategy is to continue to enhance the functionality of its software and hardware products through new releases and new feature developments. Asure will also continue to evaluate opportunities for developing new software so that organizations may further streamline and automate the tasks associated with administering their businesses. The Company seeks to simultaneously allow organizations to improve their productivity while reducing the costs associated with those business tasks. Despite the Company’s best efforts, there can be no assurance that Asure will complete its existing and future development efforts or that its new and enhanced software products will adequately meet the requirements of the marketplace and achieve market acceptance. Additionally, Asure may experience difficulties that could delay or prevent the successful development or introduction of new or enhanced software products. In the case of acquiring new or complementary software products or technologies, the Company may not be able to integrate the acquisitions into its current product lines. Furthermore, despite extensive testing, errors may be found in the Company’s new software products or releases after shipment, resulting in a diversion of development resources, increased service costs, loss of revenue and/or delay in market acceptance. SALES AND DISTRIBUTION Asure’s software products and services are sold through a direct and channel (partner) model, which enables the Company to sell its software solutions in an efficient, cost-effective manner. Prospective customer visits the Company’s websites in order to gather the needed product information, and can optionally register for webcasts, product demonstrations, white papers and other pertinent product information. At that point, the prospective customer provides contact information via the website and a sales representative follows up to provide further information and conclude the sale. These leads are tracked and tied directly into the Company’s marketing and tracking programs for lead generation. In addition to this direct, inside sales model, the Company supplements these efforts with its partner programs described below. By working with these partners, the Company expands the reach of its direct sales force and gains access to key opportunities in major market segments worldwide. The Company has two distinct levels of partners in its Partner Program: Reseller Partners and Referral Partners. Reseller Partners . Reseller Partners are companies that represent the Company globally, as well as before the Federal government and with companies that offer complementary products to either the workspace management product line or the workforce product line. Reseller Partners commit to a minimum level of business per year with the Company and receive a channel discount for that commitment. The Company’s Reseller Partners outside the United States include Novera in Australia which represents the workspace product line. The Company also has several Reseller Partners that represent the software in the Federal government space. Resellers of the Company’s workforce product line include Oasis Outsourcing in the United States, a large provider of human resource outsourcing solutions. Referral Partners . Referral Partners provide the Company with the name and particular information about a customer and its needs as a sales lead. If the Company accepts the sales lead, the Company registers it for a particular Referral Partner. If the Company makes a sale as a direct result of such a lead, the Company will pay the Referral Partner a sales lead referral fee. Currently, the Company has a number of Referral Partners including PolyVision Corp./Steelcase and e-Innovative Solutions for the workspace product line and several smaller firms for workspace Time & Attendance product. These Referral Partners do not represent more than 10% of the Company’s revenue. COMPETITION Asure’s workspace management line of scheduling software products has a competitive advantage in the marketplace by being able to automate business processes that are otherwise typically performed manually or with the assistance of general-purpose office software tools such as Microsoft Outlook®, Exchange® or Excel®. Meeting Room Manager competes with other scheduling software applications offered by companies such as PeopleCube, Dean Evans and Associates, and Emergingsoft. The principal competitive advantages of Meeting Room Manager with respect to these other products include Meeting Room Manager’s broad product capabilities, Software-as-a-Service (“SaaS) delivery model, more customizable user interface, and price. Table of Contents 5 Asure’s workforce management line of time and attendance and human resource software has a competitive advantage in the marketplace by being able to serve organizations looking for specific point-solutions as well as organizations looking for an integrated suite of solutions. By being able to compete tactically with point-solutions and strategically with an integrated suite of solutions, Asure can serve the needs of a broad spectrum of companies. While Asure has the advantage of flexibility, ease-of-use, Software-as-a-Service (“SaaS) delivery model, affordability and speed of delivery, the Company faces certain challenges with various types of competitors: • Vendors with face-to-face sales contact. In this highly relationship-based sales process, vendors with a field-based sales team who meets and consults with prospects have an advantage. iEmployee does not have a field-based approach to sales but focuses instead on high-touch marketing campaigns and leveraging relationships with channel partners to build relationships with prospects. • National payroll processors with loss-leader products. Large brand and market share vendors (like ADP, Inc.) can offer equivalent point solutions at little or no cost to prospects when in a competitive engagement because these loss leader products become inconsequential next to their core business offerings. • Single application vendors. Vendors that offer similar point-solutions like Time & Attendance, Employee/Manager Self-Service, Paystubs, etc. can be perceived as better meeting an immediate and specific need. Since the market for the Company’s products and services is subject to rapid technological change and since there are relatively low barriers to entry in the workplace management software market, the Company may encounter new entrants or competition from vendors in some or all aspects of its two product lines. Competition from these potential market entrants may take many forms. Some of the Company’s competitors, both current and future, may have greater financial, technical and marketing resources than the Company and therefore, may be able to respond quicker to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements. As a result, they may compete more effectively on price and other terms. Additionally, those competitors may devote greater resources in developing products or in promoting and selling their products to achieve greater market acceptance. Asure is actively taking measures to effectively address its competitive challenges. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to achieve or maintain a competitive advantage with respect to any of the competitive factors. MARKETING Asure Software’s marketing plan incorporates both corporate marketing and marketing communications (marcomm). Marketing communications activities feed into lead generation for the sales team by providing appropriate messaging for all sales campaigns and prospecting, while corporate marketing activities drive consistent brand messaging throughout the organization. The tenants of this marketing plan are aligned with the central goals of aligning lead generation with sales objectives, building a brand presence, developing and delivering consistent messaging around all product lines, and integrating scalable programs for partner execution. The integrated elements of these tenants include a mix of demand generation, public relations, print media, trade shows, and other corporate communications activities to ensure a consistent and accurate flow of information to and from prospects, customers and other key stakeholders. The consistent growth of the customer base relies on the development and implementation of a comprehensive integrated marketing plan. Although the Company’s customers include many Fortune 500 companies and that base continues to grow, the marketing plan is primarily aimed at reaching small and medium-sized businesses and divisions of enterprise organizations throughout the United States, Europe and Asia/Pacific. The Company targets these prospects by utilizing search engine marketing including search engine optimization, pay per click advertising and social media, as well as other competitive tools such as industry peer analysis and vertical integration targeting. Additional marketing strategies include outbound e-mail marketing, lead nurturing, targeted trade shows and industry focused print advertising. TRADEMARKS The Company has registered Asure Software® as a federal trademark with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (the “USPTO”). The Company’s other trademarks include Face Time Clock®, Legiant Timecard®, and ADI Time®”, which are federally registered with the USPTO, and iEmployee™, Netsimplicty™, AsureForce™, AsureSpace™, ADI™ and Legiant Express™, which are common law trademarks. The Company has pending applications at the USPTO to federally register the marks AsureForce and Asure Space.” Table of Contents 6 EMPLOYEES As of March 15, 2012, the Company had a total of 66 employees in the following departments: The size and composition of Asure's workforce is continually evaluated and adjusted. The Company also occasionally hires contractors to support its sales and marketing, information technology and administrative functions. None of the Company’s employees are represented by a collective bargaining agreement. Asure has not experienced any work stoppages and considers its relations with its employees to be good. Additionally, Asure augments its workforce capacity in ‘research and development’ and ‘Customer service and technical support’ by contracting for services through third parties. The future performance of the Company depends largely on its ability to continually and effectively attract, train, retain, motivate and manage highly qualified and experienced technical, sales, marketing and managerial personnel. Asure's future development and growth depend on the efforts of key management personnel and technical employees. Asure uses incentives, including competitive compensation and stock option plans to attract and retain well-qualified employees. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will continue to attract and retain personnel with the requisite capabilities and experience. The loss of one or more of Asure's key management or technical personnel could have a material and adverse effect on its business and operating results.

RISK FACTORS The Company is a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and is not required to provide the information required under this item. ITEM 2. PROPERTIES On April 28, 2010, Asure Software, Inc. (the “Company”), entered into an Amendment to the Building Lease originally dated January 6, 1998 (the “Lease”) between Asure Software and WB One & Two, LTD (“Landlord”). Pursuant to the terms of the amended Lease and related amendments, the Landlord agreed to reduce the square footage leased by the Company from 137 square feet to approximately 9 square feet in the building located at 110 Wild Basin Road. In addition, the current gross monthly rent of $299 was reduced to $20. In exchange for the rent and square footage reduction, the Company agreed to a onetime payment of $1,500 and to forgo approximately $159 of monthly subtenant income it received from the excess space under the current lease. Additionally, the Company forfeited its rights to any potential future net profits interest in the lease. The Company took a one time charge related to the lease modification of approximately $1,200 in its second quarter of 2010. On December 14, 2011, as part of the acquisition of Legiant, the Company assumed the lease of Legiant for approximately 4 square feet of space located at 108 Wild Basin Road (the “Legiant Lease”). The monthly rent related to the Legiant Lease was $7 and the Company assumed the $5 security deposit. On January 12, 2012, the Company entered into the Sixth Amendment to Lease with the Landlord (“Sixth Amendment”). The Sixth Amendment expanded the Company’s premises by approximately 4 square feet to a total of approximately 11 square feet. The Sixth Amendment also terminated the Legiant Lease effective on February 1, 2012 (the “Expansion Date”). From the Expansion Date to April 1, 2013, the Company will continue to pay the $20 in Asure monthly rent plus approximately $5 in monthly rent for the expansion space. On April 1, 2013, the monthly rent converts to $8 plus the Company’s pro rata share of building expenses and real estate taxes. The Sixth Amendment also extended the term of the Lease to December 31, 2015. The Company also leases 5 square feet in Warwick, Rhode Island and small office suites in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and New York, New York primarily used for remote employees and executive meeting space respectively. In the first quarter of 2012, the Company closed its smaller offices in Mumbai, India and Vancouver, British Columbia and moved duties and responsibilities to both existing and new personal in its offices in Austin, TX and Warwick, RI. Management believes that the leased properties described above are adequate to meet Asure's current operational requirements and can accommodate further physical expansion of office space as needed ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS Asure was the defendant or plaintiff in various actions that arose in the normal course of business, none of the pending legal proceedings to which the Company is a party are material to the Company.

The conversion price will be adjusted for certain events, such as stock dividends and stock splits. Additionally, if the Company subsequently issues common stock at a price below the then current conversion price, the conversion price will be reset to the greater of $3.27 per share (the closing price of the Company’s Common Stock on September 30, 2011) or such lower price. In the event that a holder of a 9% Note elects to convert the 9% Note into equity, and the Company determines that such conversion would jeopardize the Company’s tax benefits under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, the Company may elect to prepay any or all of such 9% Notes prior to conversion, subject to certain limitations at a purchase price equal to the product of the number of shares into which the 9% Note is convertible and the volume weighted average closing price during the 20 day trading period beginning on the 10th day before the conversion notice is received by the Company multiplied by the Premium Rate. The Premium Rate is 1.1 if a holder notifies the Company of an intention to convert their 9% Note into equity prior to the date that is 90 days before the maturity date and 1.5 if such notification is made within 90 days of the maturity date. The 9% Notes also contain customary terms of default. On March 10, 2012, the Company amended and restated each of the Convertible Notes (the “A&R Convertible Notes”) and amended and restated the Registration Rights Agreement (the “Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement”). The changes made to the Convertible Notes and the Registration Rights Agreement, resulted in a change of accounting treatment of the derivatives. Effective on March 10, 2012, the derivatives will no longer be required to be accounted for on a separate basis. Therefore, the Company will no longer be required to re-measure the value of the derivatives after the amendment date and will write-off the fair value of the derivative after the amendment. The Company estimates that it will recognize approximately $42,000 in additional non-cash expense to re-measure the A&R Convertible Notes and approximately $220,000 in one time cash expense related to consideration expected to be paid to holders of the Convertible Notes for agreeing to the terms of the A&R Convertible Notes. These expenses will be offset by a one time non-cash gain of approximately $672,000 associated with the writing-off of the derivative due to the adopted amendment. The Company has received conversion elections and/or indication of intent to convert from holders representing $1,150 of the total $1,500 of principal amount of notes. These conversions resulted in the company recognizing a one time non-cash charge of approximately $1,898 and an equal increase in the Company’s equity for the value of approximately $230,000 shares issued based on an estimated share price of $8.25. This expense was offset by a one time non-cash gain of $970 related to the extinguishment of the debt owed to the holders upon conversion. The estimated net effect of the above transactions on the Company’s financial statements in the quarter ending March 31, 2012 is an increase in one time expenses of approximately $518 and a net increase in shareholder’s equity of approximately $1,585. In the event that the estimated share price is not $8.25 or holders representing an amount other than $1,150,000 elect to convert, the non cash charges, non cash gains and impact on the Company’s financial statement will be different from that set forth above.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following table sets forth, for the fiscal periods indicated, the percentage of total revenues represented by certain items in Asure's Consolidated Statements of Operations: Overview During the period ended December 31, 2010, the Company focused on its core software business through reducing unnecessary expenses and growing and maintaining its customer base and thus growing revenue. Outside of its core software business, Asure accomplished three major goals. First, on April 28, 2010, Asure Software, Inc. (the “Company”), entered into an Amendment to the Building Lease originally dated January 6, 1998 (the “Lease”) between Asure Software and WB One & Two, LTD (“Landlord”). Pursuant to the terms of the amended Lease and related amendments, the Landlord agreed to reduce the square footage leased by the Company from 137,530 square feet to approximately 9,000 square feet. In addition, the current monthly rent of $299 was reduced to $20. In exchange for the rent and square footage reduction, the Company agreed to a one time payment of $1,500 and to forgo approximately $159 of monthly sub-tenant income it received from the excess space under the current lease. Additionally, the Company forfeited its rights to any potential future net profits interest in the lease. The Company took a one time charge related to the lease modification of approximately $1,200 in its second quarter of 2010. This transaction saved the company approximately $120 per month in excess real estate cash flow going forward. Secondly, Asure sold off the last active remnants of its intellectual property business. Thirdly, the Company ensured NASDAQ compliance through a reverse 10 for 1 stock split in November 2009.

The Company was able to retain substantially all of the monthly revenue associated with the former Ceridian customers. Under the continued guidance and direction of its new directors and Chief Executive Officer, Asure will continue to implement its corporate strategy for growing its software and services business. However, uncertainties and challenges remain and there can be no assurances that Asure can successfully grow its revenues or achieve profitability and positive cash flows during calendar year 2012. On October 1, 2011, the Company, through ADI Software, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Purchaser”), purchased substantially all of the assets and assumed certain liabilities of ADI Time, LLC (“Seller”) relating to its time and attendance software and management services business, pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement (“APA”) by and among the Company, Purchaser and Seller. The APA contains certain customary representations, warranties, indemnities and covenants of the Company, Purchaser and Seller. The purchase price for the assets consisted of $6,000 in cash and a promissory note of the Purchaser (“Purchaser Note”) in the aggregate principal amount of $1,095. The Purchaser Note bears interest at an annual rate of 0.16%, will mature on October 1, 2014, and is guaranteed by the Company. The Purchaser may offset any indemnification payments owed by the Seller under the APA against up to $1 million under the Purchaser Note. The cash portion of the purchase price was funded with the Company’s cash on hand and proceeds from the Credit Agreement and the Subordinated Notes. On December 14, 2011, the Company, through Asure Legiant, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Purchaser”), purchased substantially all of the assets and assumed certain liabilities of WG Ross Corp., d/b/a Legiant (“Seller”), relating to its cloud computing time and attendance software and management services pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement (“APA”) by and among the Company, Purchaser, Seller and, with respect to Section 6.6 only, ADI Software, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The APA contains certain customary representations, warranties, indemnities and covenants of the Company, Purchaser and Seller. The purchase price for the assets was $4,000, consisting of approximately $1,511 in cash and three subordinated promissory notes of the Purchaser in the aggregate principal amount of approximately $2,489, as adjusted pursuant to the terms of the APA. One of the promissory notes is for an aggregate principal amount of $250, bears interest at an annual rate of 0.20%, and will mature on February 1, 2012. The second promissory note is for an aggregate principal amount of $478, bears interest at an annual rate of 5.00%, and will mature on October 1, 2014. The third promissory note is for an aggregate principal amount of approximately $1,761, bears interest at an annual rate of 0.20%, and will mature on October 1, 2014. The Purchaser may offset any indemnification payments owed by the Seller under the APA against up to $1 million under the third promissory note. All three promissory notes are guaranteed by the Company and are subordinated to the Company’s bank financing. The cash portion of the purchase price was funded with the Company’s cash on hand and proceeds from the Company’s bank financing. Revenues Consolidated revenues were $10.9 million for the year ended December, 31 2011 and $10.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2010. The increase was $0.9 million, or 9%. Consolidated revenues represent the combined revenues of the Company and its subsidiaries, including sales of the Company’s scheduling software, time and attendance and human resource software, complementary hardware devices to enhance its software products, software maintenance and support services, installation and training services and other professional services. During the year ended December 31, 2011, the $0.9 million increase in total revenues is due primarily the acquisitions of ADI Time and Legiant in the fourth quarter of 2011, $1.4 million, and offset by a net reduction in Asure’s core business of ($0.4 million). The net reduction in Asure’s core businesses was driven by lower perpetual software licenses revenues, ($0.6) million in the NetSimplicity product line driven by management’s strategy to prioritize sales of its software subscriptions (SaaS or cloud-based) revenues. Hardware product revenue also declined, ($0.3) million, as a result of the company’s continued focus on building recurring, vs. onetime, revenue streams. Both recurring revenue streams, maintenance and software subscription revenues, increased over the previous year by $0.2 million. Table of Contents 12 The $1.4 million increase in acquisition revenue broke down as follows: $450 in software subscription revenue; $439 in hardware revenue; $168 in onetime software license revenue; $206 in maintenance revenue and $54 in professional services revenue. During year ended December 31, 2011, software subscription revenues for Asure’s core businesses increased by $0.2 million. iEmployee’s, ADI Time’s, and Legiant’s time and attendance and human resource software, as well as the Company’s Meeting Room Manager On Demand software, are delivered to customers under the “SaaS” model, which is software as a service offered on a subscription basis. In recent times, this type of software subscription has become known as “cloud-based” software subscriptions in addition to being referred to as a “SaaS”model. When purchasing any of Asure’s cloud-based software solutions, customers do not need to install or maintain the software on their own servers. Additionally, purchasing an annual subscription may not require as stringent approval requirements as purchasing a perpetual license. Thus, purchasing our products on a subscription basis is becoming more appealing to customers as they try to meet operational goals while reducing capital expenditures. NetSimplicity’s Meeting Room Manager cloud-based software subscription revenue increased $0.4 million or 55% while iEmployee software subscription revenue decreasing by $0.2 million, or 5%. NetSimplicity software subscription increases were driven by new sales and the accretive nature of recurring subscription revenue. Increased sales drove the monthly base of NetSimplicity software subscription revenue up 11% at the end of 2011 compared to the run rate present in December 2010. iEmployee's decline of ($0.2) million was driven by the onetime settlement revenue recognized in the first seven months of 2010 from Ceridian Corp. due to the dissolution of a reseller arrangement between Asure and Ceridian Corp as outlined in the company’s Form 8-K on May 3, 2010. During 2011, software license (NetSimplicity) revenues decreased by $0.6 million. The Company continues to focus efforts on the repetitive nature of its Meeting Room Manager On Demand software subscription product as an alternative to the one time nature of its perpetual, in-house software solution. These factors contributed to the decrease in NetSimplicity revenues of $0.2 million. ADI Time and Legiant divisions contributed $215 and $32 respectively to software license revenue in the fourth quarter of 2011. While the Company focuses its efforts on obtaining software subscription revenue from its direct customers, as opposed to one time perpetual, in house software, ADI Time’s resellers are currently actively marketing both solutions. ADI perpetual revenue from resellers amounted to $129 of its $160 in revenue for the year ending December 31, 2011. During 2011, hardware revenues decreased by $0.3 million for Asure’s core business. This decrease was driven by NetSimplicity’s LCD panel revenue which decreased by $0.3 million due to a shift away from a onetime revenue focus. During 2011, Asure’s core business maintenance revenue increased by $251. Contributing to this increase was new onetime license sales, and aggressive focus on both retaining and winning back maintenance customers. The Company now has an employee dedicated to customer renewals and expects to drive higher retention of current maintenance revenue to offset the fact that the Company is not actively selling this onetime license revenue to new customers in 2012. Additionally, Asure has proactively added, and continues to enforce, an auto-renew provision (absent sufficient notice) to its annual maintenance contracts in an effort to retain customers in the NetSimplicity product line specifically. The Company will be working to implement similar provisions for its acquired businesses in 2012. Although the Company’s sales have been concentrated in certain industries, including corporate, education, healthcare, governmental, legal and non-profit, Asure’s total customer base is widely spread across industries. Geographically, Asure sells its products worldwide, but sales are largely concentrated in the United States and Canada. Additionally, Asure has a distribution partner in Australia. For the year ended December 31, 2011, Asure continued to target small and medium businesses and divisions of enterprises in these same industries. As the overall workforce management solutions market continues to experience significant growth related to SaaS products, Asure will continue to focus on sales of its Meeting Room Manager On Demand and iEmployee SaaS products, including NetSimplicity’s Meeting Room Manager On Demand as an alternative to its perpetual in-house software solution in 2012. In addition to continuing to develop its workforce management solutions and release new software updates and enhancements, the Company is actively exploring other opportunities to acquire additional products or technologies to complement its current software and services. In 2011, the Company acquired ADI Time and Legiant to enhance both its channel delivery capabilities and its time and labor management technology. Table of Contents 13 Gross Margin Consolidated gross margins were $8.7 million in 2011 and $7.8 million in 2010, an increase of $0.9 million, or 11%. Consolidated gross margin percentages were 79.1% for 2011 and 77.5% for 2010. The cost of sales relates primarily to compensation and related consulting expenses, hardware expenses and the amortization of the Company’s purchased software development costs. These expenses represented approximately 78 % and 81% of the total cost of sales for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. These expenses were flat, at $1.8 million, year over year. Reductions of $0.4 million in Asure’s core business due to lower hardware expenses of $228 were offset by incremental acquisition cost of sales of $356 in these expense categories. The Company includes intangible amortization related to developed technology within cost of sales. During 2012 Asure expects to continue proactively managing its cost of sales by maximizing efficiencies throughout the Company. Selling, General and Administrative Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses were $6.2 million in 2011 and $5.7 million in 2010, an increase of $.5 million, or 9%. SG&A expenses were 56.7% and 56.7% of total revenues for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Of this $0.5 million increase, approximately $261 was related to the acquisitions of ADI Time and Legiant in the fourth quarter of 2011 and $262 was related to Asure’s core businesses. Additionally, increased headcount related expenses, $261, was driven by increased sales expenses due to the Company's efforts to quickly ramp up a sales team to support growth with a third party provider. Travel and professional services, largely due to the firm’s acquisitions of ADI Time and Legiant, amounted to increases of $90 and $50 respectively. Offsetting these increases were decreases due to the 2010 Loss on Lease Amendment and depreciation expense of $96 and $86 respectively. Legal expenses and professional services related expenses related to acquisitions are expected to be approximately $0.2 million in 2012. Significant additional legal expenses and/or professional services related expenses may be incurred in the future during prospective due diligence if the company were to decide to engage in additional merger or acquisition related activity Research and Development Research and development ("R&D") expenses were $1.7 million in 2011 and $1.4 million in 2010, an increase of $232 or 16.1%. R&D expenses were 15.3% and 14.4% of total revenues for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The increase was primarily driven by the acquisitions of ADI Time and Legiant in the fourth quarter, $264. During the year ended December 31, 2011, Asure improved products and technologies through organic improvements and through acquired intellectual property. The workforce product line continued to innovate by adding mobile solutions, world class SaaS hosting infrastructure and a proprietary time clock product set. The proprietary time clock product set includes multiple models which incorporate keypad and touch screen user interfaces, as well as proximity card, bar code card, and biometric data input. The workforce software product lines continued to evolve through quarterly feature releases and monthly maintenance releases. These product releases continued to serve client requests, and maintain a technological edge with competition. During the year ended December 31, 2011, Asure continued to develop the workspace product line and released enhancements to the Microsoft Outlook Plug-in, Web and Interactive LCD interfaces. Technology advances allowed the company to release new interface versions to the product including Socialview and a mobile product. These interface improvements allow clients to access the products through multiple hardware and physical locations. Table of Contents 14 Asure’s development efforts for future releases and enhancements are driven by feedback received from its existing and potential customers and by gauging marketing trends. Management believes it has the appropriate development team to design and further improve its workforce management solutions. Loss on Lease Amendment On April 28, 2010 the Company entered into an Amendment to its current building lease with Wild Basin. Pursuant to the terms of the amended Lease, the Landlord agreed to reduce the square footage leased by the Company from 137,000 square feet to 9,000 square feet for the lease’s remaining three years. In addition, the monthly rent of $299 was reduced to $20 beginning April 1, 2010. In exchange for the rent and square footage reduction, the Company made a onetime payment of $1,500 and agreed to forgo approximately $159 of monthly sub-tenant income it received from the excess space under the prior lease. Additionally, the Company forfeited its rights to any potential future net profits interest in the lease. The approxinately $1,200 loss, in 2010, consists of the following expenses; a $1,500 lease termination fee, the write-off of $186 of subtenant lease hold improvements and $45 in transaction costs. These expenses were offset by the reversal of the following liabilities; $254 of leasehold advances; $235 of leasehold impairments and $39 of other net liabilities. Amortization of intangible assets Amortization expenses were $0.7 million and $0.6 million in 2011 and 2010, respectively. Amortization expenses were 6.2% and 6.0% of total revenues in 2011and 2010, respectively. Upon acquiring the iEmployee business in October 2007, Asure recorded several intangible assets, which are being amortized over their estimated useful lives. The amortization expenses during the years ended December 31, 2010 relate entirely to these acquired intangible assets (see Note 5, in the accompanying financial statements), while the amortization expenses in 2011 relate as well to the acquisitions of ADI Time and Legiant in the fourth quarter of 2011. Other Income and loss Other loss was $668 in 2011, and other income was $20 in 2010. During 2011, the $668 was driven by embedded derivative accounting manifested as mark to market of $561 on the conversion option associated with the convertible debt and original issue discount amortization of $19. Additionally, non-cash interest expense (original issue discount) of $23 was related to the fair valuation of seller promissory notes from both the ADI and Legiant acquisitions in the fourth quarter of 2011. Interest expense in 2011, excluding the market to market and OID noted above, increased by $95 over 2010, driven primarily by $101 of acquisition related debt interest expense. Due to the global market economic environment during 2011, the Company incurred a $74 foreign exchange rate gain, related to its exposure to the Indian Rupee and the Canadian dollar, a $128 increase from 2010 loss of $54. In 2010 Asure sold its 1,312,014 shares of Common Stock in VTEL, resulting in a $130 gain. This gain was offset by interest expense and foreign exchange rate gain of $74 and loss of $54 respectively . Income Taxes At December 31, 2011, the Company had federal net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $119.3 million, R&D credit carryforwards of approximately $4.7 million and alternative minimum tax credit carryforwards of approximately $0.2 million. The net operating loss and R&D credit carryforwards will expire in varying amounts from 2012 through 2032, if not utilized. Minimum tax credit carryforwards carry forward indefinitely. Utilization of the net operating losses and credit carryforwards may be subject to a substantial annual limitation due to the "change in ownership" provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. The annual limitation may result in the expiration of net operating losses before utilization. Table of Contents 15 Due to the uncertainty surrounding the timing of realizing the benefits of its favorable tax attributes in future tax returns, the Company has placed a valuation allowance against its net deferred tax asset, exclusive of goodwill. During the year ended December 31, 2011, the valuation allowance decreased by approximately $11.4 million due primarily to operations, including expirations of tax carryforwards. Approximately $8.3 million of the valuation allowance relates to tax benefits for stock option deductions included in the net operating loss carryforward which, when realized, will be allocated directly to contributed capital to the extent the benefits exceed amounts attributable to book deferred compensation expense. Undistributed earnings of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are considered permanently reinvested and, accordingly, no provision for U.S. federal or state income taxes has been provided thereon. Net Loss Net loss was $0.65 million and $1.10 million in 2011 and 2010, respectively. The decrease in net loss was $0.5 million, or 43 %. Net loss as a percentage of total revenues was 5.9% and 11.3% in 2011 and 2010, respectively. Liquidity and Capital Resources Working capital was ($4.3) million at December 31, 2011, a decrease of $4.0 million from $(320) at December 31, 2010. The decrease was due to an increase of $0.5 million in the line of credit and an increase of $0.4 million in note payable; each due to our 2011 acquisitions. In addition, deferred revenue increased $3.0 million in 2011 compared to 2010. Cash provided by operating activities was $3,353 in the year ending December 31, 2011 and was $0.93 million in the year ending December 31, 2010. The $3.4 million of cash provided by operating activities during the year ended December 31, 2011 was primarily driven by growth in deferred revenue of $1.5 million, non-cash depreciation and amortization of $1.0 million and an increase in accounts payable of $0.4 million. The $0.9 million used during the year ended December 31, 2010 was due primarily to $1.1 million in net loss which was driven by the one-time amendment to the Company’s building lease with WB One & Two, Ltd. Cash used in investing activities for the year ending December 31, 2011 was $10.4 million. Components of this $10.4 million include the acquisitions of ADI Time and Legiant of $10.4 million and purchases of property and equipment of $0.2 million. Cash used in investing activities was $141 for the year ending December 31, 2010 due to net purchases of property and equipment. Asure’s current operations are not capital intensive, however management does anticipate approximately $0.4 to $0.7 million in capital expenditures to both upgrade our cloud infrastructure and position it for growth during the next calendar year in 2012. Table of Contents For the year ended December 31, 2011 2010 (in thousands) Working capital (deficit) $ (4,315 ) $ (320 ) Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments 1,067 1,070 Cash provided by/(used in) operating activities 3,353 (939 ) Cash (used in) investing activities (10,496 ) (141 ) Cash provided by/(used in) financing activities 7,231 (158 ) 16 Cash provided by financing activities of $7.2 million was driven by debt raised for the acquisitions of ADI and Legiant during the year ended December 31, 2011. Cash used in financing activities was $158 for the year ending December 31, 2010 related to the repurchase of treasury stock for $110 and payments on capital leases of $48. Management believes it currently has sufficient cash and short-term investments on hand to fund its operations during the next twelve months and beyond without needing to obtain long-term financing. Pursuant to Asure’s stock repurchase plan, the Company is allowed to repurchase up to 300,000 shares (adjusted for the 10 to 1 reverse stock split) of the Company’s common stock. During the year ended December 31, 2010 Asure repurchased 43,364 shares of common stock for $110. In total, Asure has repurchased 256,107 shares for approximately $5.0 million over the life of the plan. These shares are held in Treasury. The Company did not purchase any stock under this plan during the year ending December 31, 2011. Management will periodically assess repurchasing additional shares, depending on the Company’s cash position, market conditions and other factors. As of December 31, 2011, Asure’s principal source of liquidity consisted of approximately $1,067 of current cash and cash equivalents as well as future cash generated from operations. The Company believes that it has and/or will generate sufficient cash for its short and long term needs including any required debt payments. The Company is continuing to reduce expenses and thus may utilize its cash balances in the short-term to reduce long-term costs. The Company expects that it will be able to generate positive cash flows from operating activities in the next calendar year as well. Management is focused on growing its existing software operations and looking to make strategic acquisitions in the near future. Any acquisitions will be funded with cash on the balance sheet, cash from operations, debt raised and/or through the issuance of equity. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to grow its cash balances or limit its cash consumption and thus maintain sufficient cash balances, and it is possible that the Company’s future business demands may lead to cash utilization at levels greater than recently experienced. Management believes that the Company has sufficient capital and liquidity to fund and cultivate the growth of its current and future operations for the next 12 months and thereafter. However, due to uncertainties related to the timing and costs of these efforts, Asure may need to raise additional capital in the future. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to raise additional capital if and when it is needed. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and include the accounts of Asure's wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in the consolidation. Preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of the assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at fiscal year end and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the fiscal year. The more significant estimates made by management include the valuation allowance for the gross deferred tax asset, contingency legal reserves, lease impairment, useful lives of fixed assets, the determination of the fair value of its long-lived assets, and the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed during the iEmployee acquisition. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the given circumstances. These estimates could be materially different under different conditions and assumptions. Additionally, the actual amounts could differ from the estimates made. Management periodically evaluates estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements for continued reasonableness. Appropriate adjustments, if any, to the estimates used are made prospectively based upon such periodic evaluation. Management believes the following represent Asure’s critical accounting policies: Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable and collectability is probable. The Company recognizes software revenue in accordance with FASB ASC 985-605, Revenue Recognition – (FASB ASC 985-605). The Company’s revenues consists of software license, software subscription and service fees. Revenue from the software element is earned through the licensing or right to use the Company’s software and from the sale of specific software products. Service fee income is earned through the sale of maintenance and technical support, training and installation. Revenue from the sale of hardware devices is recognized upon shipment of the hardware. Asure also sells multiple elements within a single sale. Table of Contents 17 Since the Company currently offers software both as a perpetual license and as software as a service, revenue recognition varies based on which of these forms of software the customer purchases. When the Company sells software licenses in a multiple element arrangement and vendor-specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) of fair value is available for the undelivered element, sales revenue is generally recognized on the date the product is shipped, using the residual method, with a portion of revenue recorded as deferred (unearned) due to the applicable undelivered elements. VSOE of fair value for the maintenance, training and installation services are based on the prices charged for the maintenance and services when sold separately. Undelivered elements for our multiple element arrangements with a customer are generally restricted to post contract support, training and install. The amount of revenue allocated to these undelivered elements is based on the VSOE of fair value for those undelivered elements. Deferred revenue due to undelivered elements is recognized ratably on a straight-line basis over the service period (typically one year) or when the service is completed. When VSOE of fair value is not available for the undelivered element of a multiple element arrangement, sales revenue is generally recognized ratably, on a straight-line basis over the service period of the undelivered element. The Company’s training and installation services are not essential to the functionality of the Company’s products as such services can be provided by a third party or the customers themselves. The Company also sells software subscriptions and may at times sell related setup, implementation and professional services in the same arrangement. Setup and implementation services typically occur at start of the software subscription period, while certain professional services may not occur until several months later depending on the nature of the services and the customer requirements. Prior to January 1, 2010, the Company recognized the total contract value of software subscriptions and related services ratably as a single unit of accounting over the contract term, beginning when the customer was able to utilize the software. Subsequent to the adoption of the updated FASB ASC 605, the Company accounts each of these elements as separate accounting units. The Company allocates the value of the arrangement to each unit of accounting based on vendor specific objective evidence of selling price, when it exists, third-party evidence of selling prices for like services or estimated selling price. Software subscription service revenues are recognized pro-rata over the life of the software subscription contract, while the related setup, implementation or professional services revenues are recognized upon completion. The result of the adoption is an immaterial acceleration of setup, implementation and professional service revenues related to software subscription transactions The Company does not recognize revenue for agreements with rights of return, refundable fees, cancellation rights or acceptance clauses until such rights of return, refund or cancellation have expired or acceptance has occurred. The Company's arrangements with resellers do not allow for any rights of return. Deferred revenue includes amounts received from customers in excess of revenue recognized, and is comprised of deferred maintenance, service and other revenue. Deferred revenues are recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations when the service is completed and over the terms of the arrangements, primarily ranging from one to three years. Intangible Assets and Goodwill The Company records the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations at their respective fair values at the date of acquisition, with any excess purchase price recorded as goodwill. Valuation of intangible assets and in-process research and development entails significant estimates and assumptions including, but not limited to, estimating future cash flows from product sales, developing appropriate discount rates, estimating probability rates for the continuation of customer relationships and renewal of customer contracts, and approximating the useful lives of the intangible assets acquired U.S. GAAP requires that intangible assets other than goodwill with an indefinite life should not be amortized until their life is determined to be finite, and all other intangible assets must be amortized over their useful lives. The Company is currently amortizing its acquired intangible assets with definite lives over periods ranging from one to nine years. Impairment of Intangible Assets and Long-Lived Assets In accordance with FASB ASC 350, Asure reviews and evaluates its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their net book value may not be recoverable. When such factors and circumstances exist, including those noted above, the Company compares the assets’ carrying amounts against the estimated undiscounted cash flows to be generated by those assets over their estimated useful lives. If the carrying amounts are greater than the undiscounted cash flows, the fair values of those assets are estimated by discounting the projected cash flows. Any excess of the carrying amounts over the fair values are recorded as impairments in that fiscal period. Table of Contents 18 On May 3, 2010, the Company and Ceridian Corporation (“Ceridian”), a reseller of the Company’s iEmployee products, entered into an agreement by which joint customers of the Company and Ceridian were given until July 31, 2010 to choose either to (i) contract directly with the Company to continue using our goods and services, or (ii) continue using Ceridian’s offerings that may not include the Company’s products and services. Depending on the number of customers that contracted with Asure and the related pricing, the cash flows associated with the Ceridian customers may vary from historical levels. Thus the Company tested the Ceridian customer relationships intangible asset for impairment in accordance with FASB ASC 350. The Company compared the asset’s carrying amount against the estimated undiscounted cash flows to be generated from the customers that contracted with Asure over the estimated useful life of the intangible asset. The undiscounted cash flows from the intangible asset exceeded the carrying value of the intangible asset and thus no impairment was required. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In October 2009, the FASB updated FASB ASC 605, Revenue Recognition (FASB ASC 605) to address how to determine whether an arrangement involving multiple deliverables contains more than one unit of accounting and how the arrangement consideration should be measured and allocated to the separate units of accounting. This guidance eliminates the residual method and replaces it with the “relative selling price” method when allocating revenue in a multiple deliverable arrangement. The selling price for each deliverable shall be determined using vendor specific objective evidence of selling price, if it exists, otherwise third-party evidence of selling price shall be used. If neither exists for a deliverable, the vendor shall use its best estimate of the selling price for that deliverable. After adoption, this guidance will also require expanded qualitative and quantitative disclosures. The updated FASB ASC 605 is effective for the Company’s revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted the updated FASB ASC 605 on January 1, 2010 on a prospective basis for any new contracts entered into after the date of adoption. The adoptions of this ASC update did not have a material impact to its condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009. However, the Company cannot predict whether the impact of this update will have a material impact in future quarters due to potential changes in products and product mix. Prior to the adoption of the updated FASB ASC 605, the Company accounted for its software subscriptions and related setup, implementation and professional services as a single accounting unit. Thus all revenues associated with such an arrangement were recognized pro-rata over the life of the software subscription service contract. Subsequent to the adoption of the updated FASB ASC 605, the Company accounts for each of these elements as separate accounting units. Thus the software subscription service revenue is recognized pro-rata over the life of the software subscription contract, while the related setup and implementation revenues are recognized upon completion. The result of the adoption is an immaterial acceleration of setup and implementation revenues related to software subscriptions. On May 12, 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04 (Topic 220): Fair Value Measurement. The new guidance creates a uniform framework for applying fair value measurement principles. It eliminates differences between GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. New disclosures required by the guidance include: quantitative information about the significant unobservable inputs used for Level 3 measurements; a qualitative discussion about the sensitivity of recurring Level 3 measurements to changes in the unobservable inputs disclosed, including the interrelationship between inputs; and a description of the company's valuation processes. This guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011, and all amendments will be applied prospectively with any changes in measurements recognized in income in the period of adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on the financial statements and related disclosures, but is not expected to be material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements. On June 17, 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05 (Topic 820): Comprehensive Income. The new guidance amends disclosure requirements for the presentation of comprehensive income. The amended guidance eliminates the option to present components of other comprehensive income (“OCI”) as part of the statement of changes in shareholders' equity. All changes in OCI will be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive financial statements. The guidance does not change the items that must be reported in OCI. This guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim reporting periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2011 with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this guidance will not impact the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows and will only impact the presentation of OCI in the consolidated financial statements.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Asure Software, Inc. as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2011. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Asure Software, Inc. at December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2011, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Amounts in thousands, except per share data or otherwise noted) NOTE 1 - THE COMPANY Asure Software, Inc. ("Asure" or the "Company"), a Delaware corporation d/b/a Asure Software and incorporated in 1985, is a provider of web-based workforce management solutions that enable organizations to manage their office environment as well as their human resource and payroll processes effectively and efficiently. In September 2007, the Company announced its name change to “Asure Software” to reflect the Company’s focus on its software business for its future growth. In October 2007, Asure purchased iSarla Inc., a Delaware corporation and application service provider that offers on-demand software solutions that help simplify the human resource process and improve employee productivity by managing and communicating human resources, employee benefits and payroll information. Under the trade name “iEmployee,” these web-based solutions include Time & Attendance, Timesheets, Human Resource Benefits, Expenses and others. Asure’s software business also includes software products and services from its NetSimplicity product line, which provides simple and affordable solutions to common office administration problems. NetSimplicity’s flagship product, Meeting Room Manager, automates the entire facility scheduling process: reserving rooms, requesting equipment, ordering food, sending invitations, reporting on the meeting environment and more. Effective September 19, 2008, the Company transferred the listing of its common stock from the Nasdaq Global Market Exchange to the Nasdaq Capital Market Exchange. The Company’s trading symbol continued to be “ASUR” and the trading of the Company’s stock was unaffected by this change. As a result of this transfer, Asure was provided an additional 180 calendar days, or until February 2, 2009, to regain compliance with the minimum $1.00 share bid price requirement pursuant to Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4450(a)(5). Due to the continued unprecedented market conditions, Nasdaq, on several occasions, further suspended the enforcement of its rules requiring a minimum $1.00 share bid price for all Nasdaq-listed companies. Consequently, Asure’s current compliance deadline had been extended until November 17, 2009. As a method of gaining the required $1.00 share bid price, effective on December 28, 2009, Asure implemented a reverse stock split approved by Asure’s stockholders at the December 17, 2009 Annual Meeting. Pursuant to the reverse stock split, every ten shares of issued and outstanding common stock of Asure, $.01 par value per share were automatically converted to one issued and outstanding share of common stock without any change in the par value of such shares. Historical share data presented in these consolidated financial statements and notes thereto have been restated to reflect this reverse stock split as of the date earliest presented herin. On January 29, 2009, Asure’s Board announced its plan to take the Company private. Due to concerns including the loss of liquidity and reduced requirements for regular financial reporting and disclosure, a group of shareholders led by Red Oak Fund, LP (“Red Oak”) opposed the go-private effort. As shareholder vote counts indicated a majority of shareholders also opposed the Go-Private effort, the Board canceled the special meeting and withdrew its proposal to go private. Subsequently, Red Oak nominated a slate of board directors, who were elected to replace Asure’s prior Board during the Company’s annual shareholders’ meeting on August 28, 2009. In addition to a new board of directors, the Company is currently managed by a new Chief Executive Officer, who the new board of directors believes will be able to implement its strategy for growing the software business and achieving profitability and positive cash flows. However, uncertainties and challenges remain and there can be no assurances that Asure's current strategy will be successful. On November 24, 2009, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a change in the Company's fiscal year end from July 31 to December 31 of each year. This change to the calendar year reporting cycle began January 1, 2010. Effective December 17, 2009 the shareholders voted to approve an amendment to the Company’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation to change the Company’s name from Forgent Networks, Inc. to Asure Software, Inc On October 1, 2011, the Company, through ADI Software, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Purchaser”), purchased substantially all of the assets and assumed certain liabilities of ADI Time, LLC (“Seller”) relating to its time and attendance software and management services business, pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement (“APA”) by and among the Company, Purchaser and Seller. The APA contains certain customary representations, warranties, indemnities and covenants of the Company, Purchaser and Seller. The purchase price for the assets consisted of $6,000 in cash and a promissory note of the Purchaser (“Purchaser Note”) in the aggregate principal amount of $1,095. The Purchaser Note bears interest at an annual rate of 0.16%, will mature on October 1, 2014, and is guaranteed by the Company. The Purchaser may offset any indemnification payments owed by the Seller under the APA against up to $1 million under the Purchaser Note. The cash portion of the purchase price was funded with the Company’s cash on hand and proceeds from the Credit Agreement and the Subordinated Notes. (further discussed in Note 4) Table of Contents F-6 ASURE SOFTWARE, INC. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Amounts in thousands, except per share data or otherwise noted) On December 14, 2011, the Company, through Asure Legiant, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Purchaser”), purchased substantially all of the assets and assumed certain liabilities of WG Ross Corp., d/b/a Legiant (“Seller”), relating to its cloud computing time and attendance software and management services pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement (“APA”) by and among the Company, Purchaser, Seller and, with respect to Section 6.6 only, ADI Software, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The APA contains certain customary representations, warranties, indemnities and covenants of the Company, Purchaser and Seller. The purchase price for the assets was $4,000, consisting of $1,511 in cash and three subordinated promissory notes of the Purchaser in the aggregate principal amount of $2,489, as adjusted pursuant to the terms of the APA. One of the promissory notes is for an aggregate principal amount of $250 bears interest at an annual rate of 0.20%, and will mature on February 1, 2012. The second promissory note is for an aggregate principal amount of $478 bears interest at an annual rate of 5.00%, and will mature on October 1, 2014. The third promissory note is for an aggregate principal amount of $1,761 bears interest at an annual rate of 0.20%, and will mature on October 1, 2014. The Purchaser may offset any indemnification payments owed by the Seller under the APA against up to $1 million under the third promissory note. All three promissory notes are guaranteed by the Company and are subordinated to the Company’s bank financing. The cash portion of the purchase price was funded with the Company’s cash on hand and proceeds from the Company’s bank financing. According to the Nasdaq Capital Markets Rule 5550 (b) on Continue Listing Standards for Primary Equity Securities, the Company failed to meet the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement of $2,500 as of December 31, 2011. The Company's stockholders’ equity as of December 31, 2011 was $2,064. The Company did not meet this requirement primarily due to the mark-to-market impact of the derivative liability associated with the subordinated convertible notes outstanding. Subsequent to December 31, 2011, the terms of the subordinated convertible notes were amended to eliminate the embedded derivative features resulting in a settlement or extinguishment of the derivative liability. The Company estimates that the impact of this transaction will result in the Company exceeding the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement as of March 31, 2012. The Company has informed Nasdaq's MarketWatch department regarding this matter. NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES BASIS OF PRESENTATION Asure’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year’s financial statement to conform to the current year presentation. SEGMENTS The chief operating decision maker is the Company’s Chief Executive Officer who reviews financial information presented on a company-wide basis. Accordingly, in accordance with ASC 280, the Company determined that is has a single reporting segment and operating unit structure. USE OF ESTIMATES Preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of the assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at fiscal year end and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the fiscal year. The more significant estimates made by management include the valuation allowance for the gross deferred tax assets, lease impairment, useful lives of fixed assets, the determination of the fair value of its long-lived assets, and the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed during the iEmployee, ADI Time and Legiant acquisitions. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the given circumstances. These estimates could be materially different under different conditions and assumptions. Additionally, the actual amounts could differ from the estimates made. Management periodically evaluates estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements for continued reasonableness. Appropriate adjustments, if any, to the estimates used are made prospectively based upon such periodic evaluation. LIQUIDITY As of December 31, 2011, Asure’s principal source of liquidity consisted of $1,067 of current cash and cash equivalents as well as future cash generated from operations. Cash and equivalents were $1,070 at December 31, 2010. While the cash balance is relatively unchanged from prior year, the Company used approximately $3.1 million in operating cash flow in the acquisitions of ADI Time and Legiant in the fourth quarter of 2011. The Company believes that it has and/or will generate sufficient cash for its short and long term needs. The Company may continue to reduce expenses and thus may utilize its cash balances in the short-term to reduce long-term costs. The Company expects that it will be able to generate positive cash flows from operating activities in the next calendar year as well. Management is focused on growing its existing software operations and looking to make strategic acquisitions in the near future. In the short-term, any acquisitions will be funded with cash on the balance sheet, cash from operations, and cash or debt raised from outside sources as well as with equity. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to grow its cash balances or limit its cash consumption and thus maintain sufficient cash balances, and it is possible that the Company’s future business demands may lead to cash utilization at levels greater than recently experienced. Management believes that the Company has sufficient capital and liquidity to fund and cultivate the growth of its current and future operations for the next 12 months and thereafter. However, due to uncertainties related to the timing and costs of these efforts, Asure may need to raise additional capital in the future. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to raise additional capital if and when it is needed. Table of Contents F-7 ASURE SOFTWARE, INC. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Amounts in thousands, except per share data or otherwise noted) CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS Cash and cash equivalents include cash deposits and highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS We apply the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements for financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, and non-financial assets and liabilities such as goodwill, intangible assets and property and equipment that are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. CREDIT POLICY The Company reviews potential customers' credit ratings to evaluate customers' ability to pay an obligation within the payment term, which is usually net thirty days. When payment is reasonably assured and no known barriers exist to legally enforce the payment, the Company extends credit to customers. An account is placed on "Credit Hold" if a placed order exceeds the credit limit and may be placed on "Credit Hold" sooner if circumstances warrant. The Company follows its credit policy consistently and constantly monitors all of its delinquent accounts for indications of uncollectability. DERIVATIVE The Company’s convertible notes payable contain embedded derivative instruments related to the conversion feature that are accounted for separately. The fair values of these instruments are re-measured each reporting period and a gain or loss is recorded for the change in fair value. CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK The Company grants credit to customers in the ordinary course of business. Concentrations of credit risk related to the Company’s trade accounts receivable are limited due to the large number of customers, including third-party resellers, and their dispersion across several industries and geographic areas. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and maintains reserves for potential credit losses. The Company requires advanced payments or secured transactions when deemed necessary. ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts at an amount estimated to be sufficient to provide adequate protection against losses resulting from extending credit to the Company’s customers. This allowance is based in the aggregate, on historical collection experience, age of receivables, and general economic conditions. The allowance for doubtful accounts also considers the need for specific customer reserves based on the customer’s payment experience, credit-worthiness and age of receivable balances. Asure’s bad debts have not been material and have been within management expectations. The allowances for doubtful accounts as of December 31, 2011 does not include $61 in Provision for Doubtful accounts from the Company’s acquisitions in the fourth quarter of 2011. The allowances for doubtful accounts as of December 31, 2011and 2010 are as follows: Table of Contents BALANCE AT BEGINNING OF YEAR PROVISION FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE WRITE-OFF OF UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE BALANCE AT END OF YEAR Year ended December 31, 2011 $ 46 10 (37 ) $ 19 Year ended December 31, 2010 34 51 (39 ) $ 46 F-8 ASURE SOFTWARE, INC. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Amounts in thousands, except per share data or otherwise noted) INVENTORY Inventory consists of finished goods and is stated at the lower of cost or market. Inventory includes purchased LCD panels and a full range of biometric and card recognition clocks that are sold as part of the Company’s workforce management solutions as well as its human resource and payroll processes to complement its NetSimplicity, Time and Labor Management (ADI Time, Legiant and iEmployee) software products respectively. The Company routinely assesses its on-hand inventory for timely identification and measurement of obsolete, slow-moving or otherwise impaired inventory. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT Property and equipment, including software, furniture and equipment, are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Internal support equipment is video teleconferencing equipment used internally for purposes such as sales and marketing demonstrations, Company meetings, testing, troubleshooting customer problems and engineering, and is recorded at manufactured cost, if the Company constructed the asset or is recorded at cost, if purchased. Depreciation is recorded using the straight-line method over the estimated economic useful lives of the assets, which range from two to five years. Property and equipment also includes leasehold improvements and capital leases, which are recorded at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization of leasehold improvements and capital leases is recorded using the straight-line method over the shorter of the lease term or over the life of the respective assets, as applicable. Gains or losses related to retirements or disposition of fixed assets are recognized in the period incurred. Repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. The Company periodically reviews the estimated economic useful lives of its property and equipment and makes adjustments, if necessary, according to the latest information available. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS We accounted for the acquisitions using the acquisition method of accounting based on ASC 805— Business Combinations , which requires recognition and measurement of all identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their full fair value as of the date control is obtained. The fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed has been determined based upon our estimates of the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the acquisitions. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired. While we used our best estimates and assumptions to measure the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date, our estimates are inherently uncertain and subject to refinement. As a result, during the measurement period, not to exceed one year from the date of acquisition, any changes in the estimated fair values of the net assets recorded for the acquisitions will result in an adjustment to goodwill. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period or final determination of the values of assets acquired or liabilities assumed, whichever comes first, any subsequent adjustments are recorded to our consolidated statements of operations. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price in a business combination over the fair value of net tangible and intangible assets acquired in a business combination. Goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual basis in the fourth fiscal quarter of each year, and between annual tests if indicators of potential impairment exist, using a fair-value-based approach. See Note 4 for additional information regarding goodwill. Intangible assets that are not considered to have an indefinite useful life are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated period of benefit, which generally ranges from one to ten years. Each period we evaluate the estimated remaining useful life of intangible assets and assess whether events or changes in circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining period of amortization or indicate that impairment exists. No impairments of finite-lived intangible assets have been identified during any of the periods presented. See Note 5 for additional information regarding intangible assets. IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS In accordance with FASB ASC 350, Asure reviews and evaluates its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their net book value may not be recoverable. When such factors and circumstances exist, including those noted above, the Company compares the assets’ carrying amounts against the estimated undiscounted cash flows to be generated by those assets over their estimated useful lives. If the carrying amounts are greater than the undiscounted cash flows, the fair values of those assets are estimated by discounting the projected cash flows. Any excess of the carrying amounts over the fair values are recorded as impairments in that fiscal period. No impairment of long-lived assets has been identified during any of the periods presented. Table of Contents F-9 ASURE SOFTWARE, INC. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Amounts in thousands, except per share data or otherwise noted) ORIGINAL ISSUE DISCOUNTS Original issue discounts, when incurred on the issuance of debt, are recognized as a reduction of the current loan obligations and amortized to interest expense over the life of the related indebtedness using the effective interest rate method. The Company’s original issue discounts were $518 at October 1, 2011 and an additional $382 on December 14, 2011 for the ADI Time and Legiant acquisitions, respectively. At the time of any repurchases or retirements of related debt, the remaining amount of net original issue discounts will be written off and included in the calculation of gain/(loss) on retirement in the consolidated statement of operations. We recognized amortization of original issue discounts totaling $44 during the year ended December 31, 2011 which has been recorded in interest expense – amortization of OID and derivative mark-to-market in the consolidated statement of operations. REVENUE RECOGNITION The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable and collectability is probable. The Company recognizes software revenue in accordance with FASB ASC 985-605, Revenue Recognition (FASB ASC 985-605). The Company’s revenues consists of software license, software subscription and service fees. Revenue from the software element is earned through the licensing or right to use the Company’s software and from the sale of specific software products. Service fee income is earned through the sale of maintenance and technical support, training and installation. Revenue from the sale of hardware devices is recognized upon shipment of the hardware. Asure also sells multiple elements within a single sale. Since the Company currently offers software both as a perpetual license and as software as a service, revenue recognition varies based on which of these forms of software the customer purchases. When the Company sells software licenses in a multiple element arrangement and vendor-specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) of fair value is available for the undelivered element, sales revenue is generally recognized on the date the product is shipped, using the residual method, with a portion of revenue recorded as deferred (unearned) due to the applicable undelivered elements. VSOE of fair value for the maintenance, training and installation services are based on the prices charged for the maintenance and services when sold separately. Undelivered elements for our multiple element arrangements with a customer are generally restricted to post contract support, training and install. The amount of revenue allocated to these undelivered elements is based on the VSOE of fair value for those undelivered elements. Deferred revenue due to undelivered elements is recognized ratably on a straight-line basis over the service period (typically one year) or when the service is completed. When VSOE of fair value is not available for the undelivered element of a multiple element arrangement, sales revenue is recognized ratably, on a straight-line basis over the service period of the undelivered element. The Company’s training and installation services are not essential to the functionality of the Company’s products as such services can be provided by a third party or the customers themselves. The Company also sells software subscriptions and may at times sell related setup, implementation and professional services in the same arrangement. Setup and implementation services typically occur at start of the software subscription period, while certain professional services may not occur several months later depending on the nature of the services and the customer requirements. Prior to January 1, 2010, the Company recognized the total contract value of software subscriptions and related services ratably as a single unit of accounting over the contract term, beginning when the customer was able to utilize the software. Subsequent to the adoption of the updated FASB ASC 605, the Company accounts each of these elements as separate accounting units for new contracts entered into beginning January 1, 2010. We allocate the value of the arrangement to each unit of accounting based on vendor specific objective evidence of selling price, when it exists, third-party evidence of selling prices for like services or estimated selling price. Software subscription service revenues are recognized pro-rata over the life of the software subscription contract, while the related setup, implementation or professional services revenues are recognized upon completion. The result of the adoption is an immaterial acceleration of setup, implementation and professional service revenues related to software subscription transactions. Table of Contents F-10 ASURE SOFTWARE, INC. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Amounts in thousands, except per share data or otherwise noted) The Company does not recognize revenue for agreements with rights of return, refundable fees, cancellation rights or acceptance clauses until such rights of return, refund or cancellation have expired or acceptance has occurred. The Company's arrangements with resellers do not allow for any rights of return. Deferred revenue includes amounts received from customers in excess of revenue recognized, and is comprised of deferred maintenance, service and other revenue. Deferred revenues are recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations when the service is completed and over the terms of the arrangements, primarily ranging from one to three years. ADVERTISING COSTS The Company expenses advertising costs as they are incurred. Advertising expenses were $3 and $25 for the years ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. These expenses are recorded as part of sales and marketing expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. LEASE OBLIGATIONS Asure recognizes its lease obligations with scheduled rent increases over the term of the lease on a straight-line basis. Accordingly, the total amount of base rentals over the term of the Company’s leases is charged to expense on a straight-line method, with the amount of rental expense in excess of lease payments recorded as a deferred rent liability. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company had deferred rent liabilities of $5 and $0, respectively, all of which are classified as long-term liabilities. The Company also recognizes capital lease obligations and records the underlying assets and liabilities on its Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, Asure had $66 and $73 in capital lease obligations, respectively. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION The financial statements of the Company's foreign subsidiaries are measured using the local currency as the functional currency. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities of these foreign subsidiaries are translated at current exchange rates at each balance sheet date. Translation adjustments arising from the translation of net assets located outside of the United States into United States dollars are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as a separate component of stockholders' equity. Income and expenses from the foreign subsidiaries are translated using monthly average exchange rates. Net gains and losses resulting from foreign exchange transactions are included in other income and expenses and were not significant in calendar years 2011 and 2010. INCOME TAXES The Company accounts for income taxes using the liability method under FASB ASC 740, "Accounting for Income Taxes," which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Under the liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that some component or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. In June 2006, the FASB issued an accounting standard regarding uncertain tax positions now codified with FASB ASC 740This standard clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements. This interpretation defines the minimum recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements. Additionally, this standard provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods and transition. Asure adopted this standard effective August 1, 2007. The adoption did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Table of Contents F-11 ASURE SOFTWARE, INC. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Amounts in thousands, except per share data or otherwise noted) SHARE BASED COMPENSATION In December 2004, the FASB issued an accounting standard now codified as ASC 718, Stock Compensation. This revised standard addresses the accounting for stock-based payment transactions in which a company receives employee services in exchange for either equity instruments of the company or liabilities that are based on the fair value of the company's equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of such equity instruments. Under this standard, companies may not account for stock-based compensation transactions using the intrinsic-value method .Instead, companies are required to account for such transactions using a fair-value method and recognize the related expense in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The Company adopted Statement ASC 718 effective August 1, 2005, using the modified prospective application transition method. The modified prospective application method requires that companies recognize compensation expense on stock-based payment awards that are modified, repurchased or cancelled after the effective date. The fair value of each award granted from Asure's stock option plans are estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. 313 and 15 stock options were granted during the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010. As of December 31, 2011, $182 of unrecognized compensation costs related to non-vested option grants is expected to be recognized over the course of the following 3 years. The Company issued 2 thousand shares of common stock related to exercises of stock options granted from its Stock Option Plans for the year ended December 31, 2011 and no shares in the year ended December 31, 2010. COMPREHENSIVE LOSS In accordance with the disclosure requirements of ASC 220, Comprehensive Income, the Company’s comprehensive loss is comprised of net loss and foreign currency translation adjustments. The following table presents the Company’s comprehensive loss and its components for the years ended December 31, 2011, and 2010. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In October 2009, the FASB updated FASB ASC 605, Revenue Recognition (FASB ASC 605) to address how to determine whether an arrangement involving multiple deliverables contains more than one unit of accounting and how the arrangement consideration should be measured and allocated to the separate units of accounting. This guidance eliminates the residual method and replaces it with the “relative selling price” method when allocating revenue in a multiple deliverable arrangement. The selling price for each deliverable shall be determined using vendor specific objective evidence of selling price, if it exists, otherwise third-party evidence of selling price shall be used. If neither exists for a deliverable, the vendor shall use its best estimate of the selling price for that deliverable. After adoption, this guidance will also require expanded qualitative and quantitative disclosures. The updated FASB ASC 605 is effective for the Company’s revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted the updated FASB ASC 605 on January 1, 2010 on a prospective basis for any new contracts entered into after the date of adoption. The adoptions of this ASC update did not have a material impact to its condensed consolidated statement of operations for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010. However, the Company cannot predict whether the impact of this update will have a material impact in future quarters due to potential changes in products and product mix. Prior to the adoption of the updated FASB ASC 605, the Company accounted for its software subscriptions and related setup, implementation and professional services as a single accounting unit. Thus all revenues associated with such an arrangement were recognized pro-rata over the life of the software subscription service contract. Subsequent to the adoption of the updated FASB ASC 605, the Company accounts for each of these elements as separate accounting units. Thus the software subscription service revenue is recognized pro-rata over the life of the software subscription contract, while the related setup and implementation revenues are recognized upon completion. The result of the adoption is an immaterial acceleration of setup and implementation revenues related to software subscriptions.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Amounts in thousands, except per share data or otherwise noted) On May 12, 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04 (Topic 220): Fair Value Measurement. The new guidance creates a uniform framework for applying fair value measurement principles. It eliminates differences between GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. New disclosures required by the guidance include: quantitative information about the significant unobservable inputs used for Level 3 measurements; a qualitative discussion about the sensitivity of recurring Level 3 measurements to changes in the unobservable inputs disclosed, including the interrelationship between inputs; and a description of the company's valuation processes. This guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011, and all amendments will be applied prospectively with any changes in measurements recognized in income in the period of adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on the financial statements and related disclosures, but is not expected to be material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements On June 17, 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05 (Topic 820): Comprehensive Income. The new guidance amends disclosure requirements for the presentation of comprehensive income. The amended guidance eliminates the option to present components of other comprehensive income (“OCI”) as part of the statement of changes in shareholders' equity. All changes in OCI will be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive financial statements. The guidance does not change the items that must be reported in OCI. This guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim reporting periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2011 with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this guidance will not impact the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows and will only impact the presentation of OCI in the consolidated financial statements NOTE 3 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS Effective August 1, 2008, Asure adopted ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The adoption of FASB ASC 820 did not have a material impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements. ASC 820 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which is based on the reliability of the inputs used in measuring fair values. These tiers include: The following table presents the fair value hierarchy for the Company’s financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively: Table of Contents Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2: Quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active for identical or similar assets or liabilities; and model-driven valuations whose significant inputs are observable; and Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Amounts in thousands, except per share data or otherwise noted) Other Financial Assets and Liabilities Financial assets and liabilities with carrying amounts approximating fair value include cash, trade accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities. The carrying amount of these financial assets and liabilities approximates fair value because of their short maturities. The Company’s line of credit and notes payable, subordinated convertible notes payable and subordinated notes payable including current portion, as of December 31, 2011, had a carrying value of $6,419. This carrying value approximates fair value. The fair value is based on interest rates that are currently available to us for issuance of debt with similar terms and remaining maturities. See Note #4 for further discussion of the valuation of the Company’s derivative liability NOTE 4 - ACQUISITIONS, DEBT COMMITMENTS AND DERIVATIVE LIABILTY During fiscal 2011, the Company made two acquisitions for approximately $10.4 million in aggregate purchase consideration. The 2011 acquisitions were funded from available cash on hand, long-term debt, and promissory notes issued to the sellers On October 1, 2011, the Company, through ADI Software, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company purchased substantially all of the assets and assumed certain liabilities of ADI Time, LLC relating to its time and attendance software and management services business, pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement (“APA”) by and among the Company, ADI Software, LLC and ADI Time, LLC. The APA contains certain customary representations, warranties, indemnities and covenants of the Company, ADI Software, LLC and ADI Time, LLC. The Company expects to benefit through the additions of ADI Time, LLC’s proprietary Time and Labor Management software and its complementary proprietary time clock hardware solutions in addition to its network of resellers. The purchase price for the assets consisted of $6,000 in cash and a promissory note of ADI Software, LLC (“Purchaser Note”) in the aggregate principal amount of $1,095. The Purchaser Note bears interest at an annual rate of 0.16%, will mature on October 1, 2014, and is guaranteed by the Company. ADI Software, LLC may offset any indemnification payments owed by ADI Time, LLC under the APA against up to $1 million under the Purchaser Note. The cash portion of the purchase price was funded with the Company’s cash on hand and proceeds from the Company’s bank financing. On December 14, 2011, the Company, through Asure Legiant, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, purchased substantially all of the assets and assumed certain liabilities of WG Ross Corp., d/b/a Legiant, relating to its cloud computing time and attendance software and management services pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement (“APA”) by and among the Company, Asure Legiant, LLC, Legiant and, with respect to Section 6.6 only, ADI Software, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The APA contains certain customary representations, warranties, indemnities and covenants of the Company, Asure Legiant, LLC and Legiant. The Company expects to benefit by acquiring a large set of customers on its existing proprietary Time and Labor Management software solution with minimal acquired general & administrative expenses. The purchase price for the assets was $4,000, consisting of approximately $1,511 in cash and three subordinated promissory notes of the Asure Legiant, LLC in the aggregate principal amount of approximately $2,489, as adjusted pursuant to the terms of the APA. One of the promissory notes is for an aggregate principal amount of $250, bears interest at an annual rate of 0.20%, and will mature on February 1, 2012. The second promissory note is for an aggregate principal amount of approximately $479, bears interest at an annual rate of 5.00%, and will mature on October 1, 2014. The third promissory note is for an aggregate principal amount of approximately $1,761, bears interest at an annual rate of 0.20%, and will mature on October 1, 2014. Asure Legiant, LLC may offset any indemnification payments owed by Legiant under the APA against up to $1 million under the third promissory note. All three promissory notes are guaranteed by the Company and are subordinated to the Company’s bank financing. The cash portion of the purchase price was funded with the Company’s cash on hand and proceeds from the Company’s bank financing. Details regarding the financing of the acquisition is described in the below Notes Payable table. Transaction costs for these acquisitions were $130.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Amounts in thousands, except per share data or otherwise noted) In connection with the assumptions, the Company issued or assumed the following debt instruments: ADI Time - Sellers Note In conjunction with the acquisition of ADI Software, LLC; the Company entered into a Promissory Note in the amount of $1,095 with the Seller. The Promissory Note bears interest at an annual rate of 0.16%, will mature on October 1, 2014, and is guaranteed by the Company. The Purchaser may offset any indemnification payments owed by the Seller under the APA against up to $1,000 under the Purchaser Note. The Company recorded the note at fair value using a discount rate of 9%, which resulted in an unamortized discount of $226, which will accrete up the note to its aggregate principal amount over the course of the life of the loan using the effective interest method. In conjunction with the acquisition of Legiant Software, LLC the Company entered into three separate Promissory Notes all payable to the Sellers. The details of each of the Promissory Notes is as follows: Legiant - Sellers Note #1 Legiant Acquisition-Sellers Note #1 is for an aggregate principal amount of $250 bears interest at an annual rate of 0.20%, matured on February 1, 2012, and was paid in full.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Amounts in thousands, except per share data or otherwise noted) Legiant Acquisition-Sellers Note #2 Legiant Acquisition-Sellers Note #2 is for the principal amount of $478, bears interest at an annual rate of 5.00% and requires monthly payments of $10 until the maturity date of October 1, 2014. Legiant Acquisition-Sellers Note #3 Legiant Acquisition-Sellers Note #3 is for an aggregate principal amount of $1,761, bears interest at an annual rate of 0.20%, and will mature on October 1, 2014 when all interest and principal are due. The Company may offset any indemnification payments owed by the Seller under the acquisition agreement against up to $1 million under Sellers Note #3. The Company recorded the note at fair value using a discount rate of 9%, which resulted in an unamortized discount of $377, which will accrete up the note to its aggregate principal amount over the course of the life of the loan using the effective interest method and will be payable, in cash, on October 1, 2014. All three promissory notes are guaranteed by the Company and are subordinated to the Company’s bank financing discussed below. Subordinated Convertible Notes Payable On September 30, 2011, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “9% Note Purchase Agreement”) relating to the sale of $1,500 aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 9% subordinated convertible notes (“9% Notes”) in a private placement to accredited investors to finance the ADI acquisition. The 9% Notes will pay interest on each of March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31, beginning on December 31, 2011, at a rate of 9% per year. The 9% Note will mature on September 30, 2014. The 9% Note is secured by all of the assets of the Company and is subordinated to the Company’s obligations to the Bank and the 15% Notes. Beginning 12 months from the date of issuance, the holder may convert the 9% Notes into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $5.00 per share. The conversion price will be adjusted for certain events, such as stock dividends and stock splits. Additionally, if the Company subsequently issues common stock at a price below the then current conversion price, the conversion price will be reset to the greater of $3.27 per share (the closing price of the Company’s Common Stock on September 30, 2011) or such lower price. In the event that a holder of a 9% Note elects to convert the 9% Note into equity, and the Company determines that such conversion would jeopardize the Company’s tax benefits under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, the Company may elect to prepay any or all of such 9% Notes prior to conversion, subject to certain limitations at a purchase price equal to the product of the number of shares into which the 9% Note is convertible and the volume weighted average closing price during the 20 day trading period beginning on the 10th day before the conversion notice is received by the Company multiplied by the Premium Rate. The Premium Rate is 1.1 if a holder notifies the Company of an intention to convert their 9% Note into equity prior to the date that is 90 days before the maturity date and 1.5 if such notification is made within 90 days of the maturity date. The 9% Notes also contain customary terms of default. The 9% Note Purchase Agreement provides that, if the Company issues common stock below $3.25 per share, each holder of the 9% Notes outstanding at that time will have the right to purchase its pro rata portion of such stock issuance. These convertible notes contain embedded derivative instruments related to the conversion feature that are accounted for separately. The derivative instruments entered into to finance the ADI acquisition. The fair values of these instruments are re-measured each reporting period and a gain or loss is recorded for the change in fair value. At inception, the conversion feature was valued at $274 and resulted in an original issue discount on the convertible debt, which will accrete up the note to its aggregate principal amount over the course of the life of the loan using the effective interest method. The Company used a Monte Carlo simulation in a risk-neutral framework to simulate market capitalization outcomes of the Company, including considerations of the Company’s projected share price volatility, to estimate the fair value of the embedded derivative. The fair value of the conversion feature was $835 at December 31, 2011, with $561 being recorded in the income statement for the mark-to-market impact. This amount of $561 was recorded in interest expense – amortization of OID and derivative mark-to-market in the consolidated statements of operations. Subsequent to December 31, 2011, the terms of the convertible notes were amended to eliminate the embedded derivative features resulting in a settlement or extinguishment of the derivative liability. See Note 13 for further information. Mr. Goepel, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, purchased $200 of the 9% Notes. Red Oak Fund, LP purchased $600 of the 9% Notes. Mr. Sandberg, the Company’s Chairman, is the controlling member of Red Oak Partners, LLC, which manages the Red Oak Fund. Table of Contents F-17 ASURE SOFTWARE, INC. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Amounts in thousands, except per share data or otherwise noted) Subordinated Notes Payable On September 30, 2011, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “15% Note Purchase Agreement”) relating to the sale of $1,700 aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 15% subordinated notes (“15% Notes”) in a private placement to accredited investors. The 15% Note will pay interest on each of March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31, beginning on December 31, 2011, at a rate of 15% per year. The 15% Notes will mature on September 30, 2014. The 15% Notes are secured by all of the assets of the Company and are subordinated to the Company’s obligations to the Bank. The 15% Notes also contain customary terms of default. Patrick Goepel, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer purchased $500 of the 15% Notes. Pinnacle Fund, LLLP purchased $300 of the 15% Notes.

Red Oak Partners, LLC is also the manager of the Pinnacle Fund, LLLP. Credit Agreement On September 29, 2011, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank N.A. (“Bank”), providing for a $500 line of credit (the “Credit Agreement”), which was fully utilized as of December 31, 2011. The line of credit bears interest at a rate of 1.5% above the CB Floating Rate and matures on September 28, 2012. The CB Floating rate is defined as the Bank’s prime rate, as announced from time to time, provided that the CB Floating Rate may not be less than the adjusted one month LIBOR rate. The aggregate principal amount of advances outstanding at any one time under the line of credit may not exceed 80% of eligible trade accounts and accounts receivable or the maximum principal amount then available, whichever is less. The Company’s obligations to the Bank are guaranteed by ADI Software, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and secured by all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including but not limited to limitations with respect to debt, liens, sale of equity interests, mergers and acquisitions, sale of assets, and loans or advances to and investments in others. The Company is also required to maintain total cash and marketable securities of not less than $300, beginning on December 31, 2011; a debt service coverage ratio of not less than 1.2 to 1.0 for each period of four consecutive fiscal quarters beginning the twelve months ending December 31, 2011; and EBITDA of not less than $100 for each fiscal quarter beginning the quarter ending December 31, 2011. The Company was in compliance with these covenants at December 31, 2011. Events of default under the Credit Agreement include, among others, (i) the failure to pay when due the obligations owing to the Bank, (ii) the failure to perform covenants set forth in the Credit Agreement (as described above), (iii) any materially incorrect or misleading representation, warranty or certificate to the Bank, (iv) any materially incorrect or misleading representation in any financial statement or other information delivered to the Bank, (v) certain cross defaults and cross accelerations, (vi) the failure to perform under the guaranty, (vii) the occurrence of certain bankruptcy or insolvency events, (viii) judgments against the Company or its subsidiaries, and (ix) certain material adverse changes. In some cases, the events of default are subject to customary notice and grace period provisions. The following is a schedule of the payments of principal on the debt obligations, by year, through maturity, in thousands.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Amounts in thousands, except per share data or otherwise noted) NOTE 5 - INTANGIBLE ASSETS Asure accounted for its historical acquisitions in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations. The Company recorded the amount exceeding the fair value of net assets acquired at the date of acquisition as goodwill. The Company recorded intangible assets apart from goodwill if the assets had contractual or other legal rights or if the assets could be separated and sold, transferred, licensed, rented or exchanged. Asure’s goodwill relates to the current year acquisitions of ADI Time and Legiant.Asure’s intangible assets relate to ADI Time, Legiant and its acquisition of iSarla Inc. and the iEmployee operations. In accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and O ther, Asure reviews and evaluates its long-lived assets, including intangible assets with finite lives, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their net book value may not be recoverable. Based on Asure’s impairment test, no impairment was identified for the Company’s intangible assets for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010. On May 3, 2010, the Company and Ceridian Corporation (“Ceridian”), a reseller of the Company’s iEmployee products, entered into an agreement by which joint customers of the Company and Ceridian were given until July 31, 2010 to choose either to (i) contract directly with the Company to continue using our goods and services, or (ii) continue using Ceridian’s offerings that may not include the Company’s products and services. Depending on the number of customers that contracted with Asure and the related pricing, the cash flows associated with the Ceridian customers may vary from historical levels. Thus the Company tested the Customer Relationships intangible asset for impairment in accordance with ASC 350. The Company compared the asset’s carrying amount against the estimated undiscounted cash flows to be generated from the customers that contracted with Asure over the estimated useful life of the intangible asset. The undiscounted cash flows from the intangible asset exceeded the carrying value of the intangible asset and thus no impairment was required. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, the gross carrying amount and accumulated amortization of the Company’s intangible assets are are as follows: Table of Contents December 31, 2011 Intangible Asset Amortization Period (in Years) Gross Accumulated Amortization Net Developed Technology 5 $ 1,586 $ (794 ) $ 792 Customer Relationships 8 6,767 (2,175 ) 4,592 Reseller Relationship 7 853 (30 ) 823 Trade Names 5 325 (253 ) 72 Covenant not-to-compete 4 182 (154 ) 28 $ 9,713 $ (3,406 ) $ 6,307 F-19 ASURE SOFTWARE, INC.

Amortization expenses were $680 and $598 for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 respectively, included in Operating Expenses. Amortization expenses recorded in Cost of Goods Sold were $202 and $183 for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. $19 of the $202 for the year ended December 31, 2011 relates to the acquisitions in the fourth quarter. The following table summarizes the estimated amortization expense relating to the Company’s intangible assets for the next five fiscal years as of December 31, 2011: NOTE 6 - PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT Property and equipment and related depreciable useful lives as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 are composed of the following: The amortization of the capital leases is recorded as depreciation expense on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Amounts in thousands, except per share data or otherwise noted) NOTE 7 - LEASE IMPAIRMENT During the quarter ended June 30, 2009, Wild Basin One &Two, Ltd. (“Wild Basin”), Asure’s landlord, communicated to Asure that it needed to accumulate additional reserves, in excess of the reserves currently remitted as required by Wild Basin’s loan agreement. Due to these additional reserves, Wild Basin stated that it is unable to remit any net profit interest payments to the Company as stipulated under the terms of Asure’s lease agreement. Additionally, the then current rental market in Austin, Texas continued to show depressed leasing rates. Based on these factors, management analyzed the discounted cash flows related to its Wild Basin property lease and subleases over the remainder of the lease term. Although the Company continued to actively sublease the vacated space, the rates on the new subleases were less than originally anticipated due to the current market rates at that time. Management calculated the economic value of the lost sublease rental income and recorded an additional impairment charge of $630 to the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended July 31, 2009. On April 28, 2010 the Company entered into an Amendment to its current building lease with Wild Basin. Pursuant to the terms of the amended Lease, the Landlord agreed to reduce the square footage leased by the Company from 137 thousand square feet to 9 thousand square feet for the lease’s remaining three years. In addition, the monthly rent of $299 was reduced to $20 beginning April 1, 2010. In exchange for the rent and square footage reduction, the Company made a one time payment of $1,500 and agreed to forgo approximately $159 of monthly sub-tenant income it received from the excess space under the prior lease, resulting in the Company recording a loss on lease agreement of $1,203 during the year ended December 31, 2010. Additionally, the Company forfeited its rights to any potential future net profits interest in the lease. The $1,203 loss consists of the following expenses; the $1,500 lease termination fee, the write-off of $186 of subtenant lease hold improvements and $45 in transaction costs. These expenses were offset by the reversal of the following liabilities; $254 of leasehold advance, $235 of leasehold impairment and $39 of other net liabilities. NOTE 8 - STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAM Pursuant to Asure’s stock repurchase plan, the Company is allowed to repurchase up to 300 shares of the Company’s common stock. During the year ended December 31, 2010 Asure repurchased 43 shares of common stock for $110. In total, Asure has repurchased 256 shares for approximately $5.0 million over the life of the plan. Management will periodically assess repurchasing additional shares, depending on the Company’s cash position, market conditions and other factors. While the program remains in place, the Company did not repurchase any shares during 2011. STOCK AND STOCK OPTION PLANS Asure has one active equity plan, the 2009 Equity Plan (the "2009 Plan"). The 2009 Plan provides for the issuance of non-qualified and incentive stock options to employees and consultants of the Company. Stock options are generally granted with exercise price greater than or equal to the fair market value at the time of grant and the options generally vest over three to four years and are exercisable for a period of five to ten years beginning with date of grant. The Company’s 1996 Plan expired in April 2006, whereby the Company can no longer grant options under these plans. However, options previously granted remain outstanding. Total compensation expense recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for stock based awards was $81 and 53 for the years ending December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The following table summarizes the assumptions used to develop their fair value for 2011, 2010: As of December 31, 2011, Asure had reserved shares of common stock for future issuance under the 2009 and 1996 Plans as follows: Table of Contents Year Ended December 31, 2011 2010 Risk-free interest rate 0.875 % 2.34 % Expected volatility 0.91 0.987 Expected life in years 3.89 4.53 Dividend yield - - Options outstanding 353 Options available for future grant 0 Shares reserved 353 F-21 ASURE SOFTWARE, INC.

NOTE 10 - REVENUE CONCENTRATION The revenue concentration from customers individually representing 10% or more in revenue for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 are as follows: NOTE 11 - GAIN ON SALE OF INVESTMENT On September 30, 2010, Asure entered into a Promissory Note with VTEL Products Corporation (VTEL) and J. Merritt Belisle for the sale of its shares of Common Stock in VTEL. Asure sold 1,312,014 shares for $130 with $10 due immediately, $60 due September 30, 2011, and the remaining $60 due September 30, 2012. Asure recorded a gain on sale of $130 in the third quarter of 2010 as these shares were carried at zero value on the balance sheet. In addition to the note receivable, Asure retains the right to receive 3% of net proceeds of the consideration received by VTEL or its shareholders in connection with a potential change of control. If no such change of control happens within 5 years, Asure has the right, with written notice, to request VTEL to repurchase this right at fair market value. Asure has not placed a value on this right due to the uncertainty surrounding the future outcome.

Significant components of the Company's deferred taxes at December 31, 2011 and 2010 are as follows: Table of Contents For The Year Ended For the Year Ended December 31, December 31, 2011 2010 Current: Federal $ - $ (50 ) State 1 (1 ) Foreign 43 43 Total current 44 (8 ) Deferred: Federal 25 -- State 3 -- Foreign - -- Total deferred 28 -- $ 72 (8 ) 2011 2010 DEFERRED TAX ASSETS: Current deferred tax assets Deferred revenue $ 454 $ 257 Accrued expenses 91 52 Other 7 17 552 326 Valuation allowance (543 ) (320 ) Net current deferred tax assets 9 6 Noncurrent deferred tax assets Net operating losses 40,718 52,047 Research and development credit carryforwards 3,875 3,818 Minimum tax credit carryforwards 161 161 Fixed assets 367 1,060 Stock compensation 65 56 Other - 20 45,186 57,162 Valuation allowance (44,449 ) (56,116 ) Net noncurrent deferred tax assets 737 1,046 Noncurrent deferred tax liabilities Acquired intangibles (746 ) (1,052 ) Goodwill (28 ) Total noncurrent deferred tax liabilities (774 ) (1,052 ) Net current deferred tax asset 9 6 Net noncurrent deferred tax iability $ (37 ) $ (6 ) F-24 ASURE SOFTWARE, INC. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Amounts in thousands, except per share data or otherwise noted) At December 31, 2011, the Company had federal net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $119,295 research and development credit carryforwards of approximately $4,698 and alternative minimum tax credit carryforwards of approximately $161. The net operating loss and research and development credit carryforwards will expire in varying amounts from 2012 through 2032, if not utilized. Minimum tax credit carryforwards carry forward indefinitely. As a result of various acquisitions by the Company in prior years, utilization of the net operating losses and credit carryforwards may be subject to a substantial annual limitation due to the "change in ownership" provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. The annual limitation may result in the expiration of net operating losses before utilization. Due to the uncertainty surrounding the timing of realizing the benefits of its favorable tax attributes in future tax returns, the Company has placed a valuation allowance against its net deferred tax asset, exclusive of goodwill. During the year ended December 31, 2011, the valuation allowance decreased by approximately $11,445 due primarily to operations, including expiration of tax carryforwards. Approximately $8,251 of the valuation allowance relates to tax benefits for stock option deductions included in the net operating loss carryforward which, when realized, will be allocated directly to contributed capital to the extent the benefits exceed amounts attributable to book deferred compensation expense. Undistributed earnings of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are considered permanently reinvested and, accordingly, no provision for U.S. federal or state income taxes has been provided thereon. The Company’s provision (benefit) for income taxes attributable to continuing operations differs from the expected tax expense (benefit) amount computed by applying the statutory federal income tax rate of 34% to income before income taxes as a result of the following: Effective August 1, 2007, the Company adopted ASC 740-10 regarding uncertain tax positions. The Company did not record any additional tax liability as a result of the adoption of ASC 740-10 and no adjustment was required to the August 1, 2007 balance of retained earnings. The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of January 1, 2011 was approximately $998. The reconciliation of the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits at the beginning and end of the year is as follows: As of December 31, 2011 the Company had $1,051 of unrecognized tax benefits, which would affect the effective tax rate if recognized. The Company’s assessment of the unrecognized tax benefits is subject to change as a function of income tax audits by the taxing authorities. The Company’s practice is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2011, the Company recognized $3 of interest and penalties in its income tax expense.

Approximately 76.0% of Asure’s total operating lease obligations relates to its corporate office facility at Wild Basin in Austin, Texas. On April 28, 2010 the Company entered into an Amendment to its current building lease with Wild Basin.

In addition, the monthly rent of $299 was reduced to $20 beginning April 1, 2010. In exchange for the rent and square footage reduction, the Company made a onetime payment of $1,500 and agreed to forgo approximately $159 of monthly sub-tenant income it received from the excess space under the prior lease, resulting in the Company recording a loss on lease agreement of $1,203 during the year ended December 31, 2010 NOTE 15 - CONTINGENCIES Asure was the defendant or plaintiff in various actions that arose in the normal course of business.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Amounts in thousands, except per share data or otherwise noted) NOTE 16 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS Amendment and Restatement of the Convertible Notes and Registration Rights Agreements On March 10, 2012, the Company amended and restated each of the Subordinated convertible notes payable (the “Convertible Notes”) which: The Company also amended and restated the Registration Rights Agreement to among other things: The changes made to the Convertible Notes and the Registration Rights Agreement, resulted in a change of accounting treatment of the derivatives on the Convertible Notes. Effective on March 10, 2012, the derivatives will no longer be required to be accounted for on a separate basis. Therefore, the Company will no longer be required to re-measure the fairvalue of the derivatives after the amendment date and will write-off the fair value of the derivative after the amendment. The Company will record the impact of this change in the first quarter of 2012. The Company has received conversion elections and/or indication of intent to convert from holders representing $1,150 of the total $1,500 of principal amount of Convertible Notes. 3-for-2 Stock Split On March 27, 2012, the Board of Directors declared a 3-for-2 stock split, payable April 30, 2012 to the holders of record of the Company’s common stock as of the close of business on April 23, 2012. The Company will make cash payments based upon the closing price of the Company’s shares on the record date in lieu of the issuance of fractional shares. Share and per share information in these financial statements does not reflect the impact of this proposed 3 for 2 stock split.

The aggregate principal amount of the Short-Term Note shall be reduced by the amount of the Actual Cash Deficiency. 1.4. Allocation of Purchase Price . Seller and Purchaser agree that the Purchase Price shall be allocated among the Purchased Assets for all purposes as shown on the allocation schedule (the “Allocation Schedule”). A draft of the Allocation Schedule shall be prepared by Purchaser and delivered to Seller within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date. For a period of ten (10) days after Purchaser provides the Allocation Schedule to Seller, Seller shall have the opportunity to review and comment on the Allocation Schedule. If Seller notifies Purchaser in writing that Seller objects to one or more items reflected in the Allocation Schedule, Purchaser and Seller shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such dispute; provided, however, that if Purchaser and Seller are unable to resolve any dispute with respect to the Allocation Schedule within twenty (20) days after the end of 10 day review and comment period, such dispute shall be referred to an impartial firm of independent certified public accountants with offices in Austin, Texas and with no prior relationship with either Seller or Parent (the “Independent Accountants”), as mutually agreed to by Purchaser and Seller, for resolution as promptly as practicable. The Allocation Schedule as so agreed to or determined by the Independent Accountants shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties, and the parties agree that that all tax returns (including IRS Form 8594) and all financial statements of the parties shall be prepared in a manner consistent with (and the parties shall not otherwise file a tax return or take any tax position inconsistent with) the such Allocation Schedule. The fees and expenses of the Independent Accountants shall be borne equally by Purchaser and Seller. -4- 1.5. Purchase Price Adjustment . (a) Within 60 days after the Closing Date, Purchaser will prepare and deliver to Seller a statement setting forth its calculation of Closing Working Capital (the “Closing Working Capital Statement). The Closing Working Capital Statement shall include only those categories of assets and liabilities and line items included in, and be in form consistent with, the working capital statement set forth on Schedule 1.5(a) (the “Illustrative Working Capital Statement”). The determination of Closing Working Capital shall be made in accordance with GAAP, and to the extent conforming with GAAP, in accordance with the accounting policies and practices consistent with those used in the preparation of the Illustrative Working Capital Statement. For the avoidance of doubt, if and to the extent the definition of Closing Working Capital or the Illustrative Working Capital Statement excludes any particular assets or liabilities from the computation of Closing Working Capital the same shall be excluded from such computation even though the excluded assets or liabilities might otherwise constitute a current asset or current liability in accordance with GAAP. “Closing Working Capital” means, as of the close of business on the Closing Date, (a) cash and cash equivalents (with any deposits posted to Seller’s bank accounts on or prior to the Closing Date to be included as a component of cash whether or not yet collected), accounts receivable, net of bad debt reserve, prepaid expenses and all other current assets of the Seller determined in accordance with GAAP, but excluding inventories and all Excluded Assets, minus (b) accounts payable and all other current liabilities of the Seller determined in accordance with GAAP, but excluding retainers, deferred revenues, accrued rent, accrued wages or compensation expenses, severance, accrued interest expense, current obligations under indebtedness arrangements and all other Excluded Liabilities, determined as set forth in this Section 1.5 and in accordance with the Illustrative Working Capital Statement. The “Post-Closing Adjustment” shall be an amount equal to the Closing Working Capital minus $257,000 (the “Target Working Capital”). If the Post-Closing Adjustment is a positive number, the Purchase Price shall be increased by an amount equal to the Post Closing Adjustment. If the Post-Closing Adjustment is a negative number, then the Purchase Price shall be decreased by an amount equal to the Post Closing Adjustment. (b) After receipt of the Closing Working Capital Statement, Seller will have 30 days (the “Review Period”) to review the Closing Working Capital Statement. As part of such review, Seller and Seller’s accountants will have reasonable access during normal business hours to the relevant books and records of Purchaser (and the right to copies of the same for review offsite), the personnel of, and work papers prepared by, Purchaser or Purchaser’s accountants to the extent that they relate to the Closing Working Capital Statement for the purpose of reviewing the Closing Working Capital Statement and to prepare a Statement of Objections. (c) On or prior to the last day of the Review Period, Seller may object to the Closing Working Capital Statement by delivering to Purchaser a written statement setting forth Seller’s objections in reasonable detail, indicating each disputed item or amount and the basis for Seller’s disagreement (the “Statement of Objections”). If Seller fails to deliver the Statement of Objections before the expiration of the Review Period, the Closing Working Capital Statement shall be deemed to have been accepted by Seller. If Seller delivers the Statement of Objections before the expiration of the Review Period, Purchaser and Seller shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such objections within 30 days after delivery of the Statement of Objections, and, if so resolved within such 30 day period, the Post-Closing Adjustment, with any changes as may be agreed to in writing by Purchaser and Seller, shall be final and binding. -5- (d) If Seller and Purchaser are unable to resolve the objections set forth in the Statement of Objections within 30 days after delivery of such Statement of Objections to Purchaser, then such objections shall be resolved by the Independent Accountants, who shall act as experts and not arbitrators to resolve the specific items and amounts under dispute and make any adjustments to the Post-Closing Adjustment. The Independent Accountants will make a determination as soon as practicable within 30 days after their engagement (or such other time as the parties shall agree in writing) and their determination will be conclusive and binding upon the parties. The Seller and Purchaser will each pay one-half of the fees and expenses of the Independent Accountants. (e) The aggregate principal amount of the Balloon Holdback Note shall be increased or reduced by the amount of the Post-Closing Adjustment on the date in which the Post-Closing Adjustment is finally determined pursuant to Section 1.5(c) or Section 1.5(d). 1.6. Assumption of Seller Liabilities . Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, Purchaser shall assume and agree to pay, perform and discharge only the following liabilities of Seller (collectively, the “Assumed Liabilities”): (a) all obligations and liabilities arising and accruing after the Closing Date from the Customer Accounts and Assigned Contracts but only to the extent that such liabilities were incurred in the ordinary course of business and do not relate to any failure to perform, improper performance, warranty or other breach or violation by Seller on or prior to the Closing Date.

The failure of the Purchaser to pay the Holdback Amount on the applicable payment date under the Balloon Holdback Note in connection with its exercise of its offset rights as permitted by this Section 5.4 shall not constitute an Event of Default under the Balloon Holdback Note, Former Shareholder Tracking Holdback Note, the License Agreement or the Guaranty. Purchaser Indemnitees shall not be entitled to offset against the Short-Term Note and the Former Shareholder Tracking Holdback Note any Losses for which they may be entitled to indemnification under this Agreement. -21- 5.5.

Purchaser will pay the amount of any Loss incurred by the Seller Indemnitee within 10 days following the determination of Purchaser’s liability for and the amount of such Loss (whether such determination is made pursuant to the procedures set forth under this Section 5.6, by agreement between the Purchaser and the Seller Indemnitee or by final adjudication). -22- 5.7.

(c) So long as the Indemnifying Party is conducting the defense of the Third Party Claim in accordance with Section 5.7(b) above, (A) the Indemnified Party may retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense and participate in the defense of the Third Party Claim, (B) the Indemnified Party will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (not to be withheld or delayed unreasonably), and (C) the Indemnifying Party will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (not to be withheld or delayed unreasonably).

Following the date of termination of Optionee’s Continuous Service Status for any reason (the “ Termination Date ”), Optionee may exercise the Option only as set forth in the Notice and this Section 5. To the extent that Optionee is not entitled to exercise this Option as of the Termination Date, or if Optionee does not exercise this Option within the Termination Period set forth in the Notice or the termination periods set forth below, the Option shall terminate in its entirety. In no event, may any Option be exercised after the Expiration Date of the Option as set forth in the Notice. (a) Termination . In the event of termination of Optionee’s Continuous Service Status other than as a result of Optionee’s disability or death or for Cause (as defined in the Plan), Optionee may, to the extent Optionee is vested in the Option Shares at the date of such termination (the “ Termination Date ”), exercise this Option during the Termination Period set forth in the Notice. (b) Other Terminations . In connection with any termination other than a termination covered by Section 5(a), Optionee may exercise the Option only as described below: (i) Termination upon Disability of Optionee .

THE OPTIONEE HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE ISSUANCE AND EXERCISE OF THIS OPTION MAY HAVE TAX CONSEQUENCES TO THE OPTIONEE AND THAT ANY AND ALL SUCH TAX CONSEQUENCES ARE THE SOLE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE OPTIONEE. OPTIONEE SHOULD CONSULT A TAX ADVISER BEFORE ACCEPTING AND/OR EXERCISING THIS OPTION OR DISPOSING OF THE SHARES. (a) Incentive Stock Option . (i) Tax Treatment upon Exercise and Sale of Shares . If this Option qualifies as an Incentive Stock Option, there will be no regular federal income tax liability upon the exercise of the Option, although the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the Shares on the date of exercise over the Exercise Price will be treated as an adjustment to the alternative minimum tax for federal tax purposes and may subject Optionee to the alternative minimum tax in the year of exercise. If Shares issued upon exercise of an Incentive Stock Option are held for at least one year after exercise and are disposed of at least two years after the Option grant date, any gain realized on disposition of the Shares will also be treated as long-term capital gain for federal income tax purposes. If Shares issued upon exercise of an Incentive Stock Option are disposed of within such one-year period or within two years after the Option grant date, any gain realized on such disposition will be treated as compensation income (taxable at ordinary income rates) to the extent of the difference between the Exercise Price and the lesser of (i) the fair market value of the Shares on the date of exercise, or (ii) the sale price of the Shares. (ii) Notice of Disqualifying Dispositions . With respect to any Shares issued upon exercise of an Incentive Stock Option, if Optionee sells or otherwise disposes of such Shares on or before the later of (i) the date two years after the Option grant date, or (ii) the date one year after the date of exercise, Optionee shall immediately notify the Company in writing of such disposition. Optionee acknowledges and agrees that he or she may be subject to income tax withholding by the Company on the compensation income recognized by Optionee from the early disposition by payment in cash or out of the current earnings paid to Optionee. (b) Nonstatutory Stock Option . If this Option does not qualify as an Incentive Stock Option, there may be a regular federal (and state) income tax liability upon the exercise of the Option. Optionee will be treated as having received compensation income (taxable at ordinary income tax rates) equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the Shares on the date of exercise over the Exercise Price. If Optionee is an Employee, the Company will be required to withhold from Optionee’s compensation or collect from Optionee and pay to the applicable taxing authorities an amount equal to a percentage of this compensation income at the time of exercise. If Shares issued upon exercise of a Nonstatutory Stock Option are held for at least one year, any gain realized on disposition of the Shares will be treated as long-term capital gain for federal income tax purposes. -4- 8. Lock-Up Agreement . In connection with the initial public offering of the Company’s securities and upon request of the Company or the underwriters managing any underwritten offering of the Company’s securities, Optionee hereby agrees not to sell, make any short sale of, loan, grant any option for the purchase of, or otherwise dispose of any securities of the Company however and whenever acquired (other than those included in the registration) without the prior written consent of the Company or such underwriters, as the case may be, for such period of time (not to exceed 180 days) from the effective date of such registration as may be requested by the Company or such managing underwriters and to execute an agreement reflecting the foregoing as may be requested by the underwriters at the time of the public offering. 9. Effect of Agreement .

Optionee acknowledges and agrees that he or she may be subject to income tax withholding by the Company on the compensation income recognized by Optionee from the early disposition by payment in cash or out of the current earnings paid to Optionee. (b) Nonstatutory Stock Option . If this Option does not qualify as an Incentive Stock Option, there may be a regular federal (and state) income tax liability upon the exercise of the Option. Optionee will be treated as having received compensation income (taxable at ordinary income tax rates) equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the Shares on the date of exercise over the Exercise Price. If Optionee is an Employee, the Company will be required to withhold from Optionee’s compensation or collect from Optionee and pay to the applicable taxing authorities an amount equal to a percentage of this compensation income at the time of exercise. If Shares issued upon exercise of a Nonstatutory Stock Option are held for at least one year, any gain realized on disposition of the Shares will be treated as long-term capital gain for federal income tax purposes. -4- 8.

Tenant agrees after notice thereof to abide by such reasonable rules and Tenant shall not solicit business in the parking or other Common Areas; nor shall Tenant distribute any handbills or other advertising matter in automobiles parked in the parking area or in other Common Areas. 6.3 Common Area Maintenance Costs . During the Term, Landlord shall be responsible to annually pay Common Area Maintenance Expenses in an amount not to exceed the Common Area Maintenance Expenses payable as of the Base Year, which for purposes of this section shall be the year 2011.

The term “Common Area Maintenance Expenses” shall mean the total cost and expense incurred in operating and maintaining the Building and the Common Areas in and adjoining the Building for use by Tenant and the other tenants of the Building and Complex and the concessionaires, officers, employees, agents, customers and invitees of Tenant.

In addition, Common Area Maintenance Expenses shall not include (a) repairs and general maintenance paid from proceeds of insurance or by a tenant or other third parties, (b) alterations attributable to tenants in, or other occupants of the Complex or vacant rentable space in the Complex, (c) the cost of capital improvements, replacements or expenses, and such other costs that, under generally accepted accounting principals (“GAAP”), consistently applied would be considered capital or are otherwise outside normal costs and expenses in connection with the operation, cleaning, management, security, maintenance and repair of similar buildings, (d) depreciation, (e) principal or interest payments or ground lease payments relating to the Complex, (f) lease commissions or marketing costs, (g) costs, repairs or other work occasioned by fire, windstorm or other casualty or condemnation, (h) rental concessions granted to tenants or costs associated with the negotiation, execution or enforcement of this Lease or leases with other tenants, (i) costs incurred in connection with the sale, financing, refinancing or mortgaging of all or any portion of the Complex, (i) any penalties or liquidated damages Landlord pays under this Lease or to any other tenants or occupants of the Complex, (l) costs associated with correcting any violation of law, or to comply with laws enacted after the Execution of the Lease, (l) political or charitable contributions, (m) reserves of any kind, including, without limitation, replacement reserves and reserves for bad debts or lost rent or any similar charge not involving the payment of money to third parties; (n) wages or salaries of employees over the rank of building superintendent; (o) expenses resulting from any violation by Landlord of the terms of any lease of space in the Building or Complex or of any ground or underlying lease or mortgage to which this Lease is subordinate; (p) costs of compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, as from time to time amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder; and (q) any cost and expense incurred by or on behalf of Landlord in removing and disposing or causing to be removed or disposed hazardous or toxic substances or materials, or any cooling or chiller system and the chemicals used in such system from any part of the Building. Landlord shall deliver an annual statement Tenant by May 15 th of each year during the Term setting forth in detail the Common Area Maintenance Expenses. Tenant shall be entitled to inspect Landlord’s books and records related to the costs and expenses and Additional Rent at any time within one hundred and eighty (180) days following Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s annual statements for such Common Area Maintenance Expenses. If the parties mutually agree as to any discrepancy, Landlord shall credit any overpayment toward the next Additional Rent payment falling due or pay such overpayment to Tenant within thirty (30) days of such determination. If the variance is ten percent (10%) or more in the aggregate, Landlord shall pay the reasonable costs of said inspection. Tenant’s right of inspection shall expire on the one hundred and eightieth (180 th ) day from Tenant’s receipt thereof. If the parties fail to agree on any such discrepancy, then such dispute will be resolved by an accounting firm mutually acceptable to both parties or, in the absence of agreement, by a regionally recognized accounting firm selected by lot after eliminating Landlord’s auditors, Tenant's auditor and one additional firm designated as objectionable by each of Tenant and Landlord.

Tenant agrees to pay directly to the authority charged with the collection thereof, all charges for directly metered gas, electricity and telephone utilities used or consumed in the Premises. Landlord shall be responsible for payment of all charges for water and sewer utilities to the Building (which are included in the Common Area Maintenance Expenses). It is currently anticipated that all gas & electricity utilities are not separately metered but are sub-metered. Tenant shall pay to Landlord as Additional Rent, on demand, Tenant's direct sub-metered share of such charges for such utilities and/or services at the rate charged by the respective utility company plus the fee charged by the company selected to read such meters and provide the billing with respect to the foregoing .

The current HVAC system includes a VAV System within the Premises. The VAV system within the Premises shall be connected to Tenant’s Submeter. In addition, the HVAC system on the rooftop of the Building serves not only the Premises but also serves also the common areas on the second (2 nd ) floor of the Building (the “Rooftop HVAC Unit”). All of the gas and electricity consumed by the Rooftop HVAC Unit shall be separately submetered. Tenant shall pay to Landlord as Additional Rent, on demand, Tenant's Proportionate share of the submetered gas and electricity charges therefore. Tenant’s proportionate share shall be based upon the usable square footage of the Premises versus the total square footage of the second (2 nd ) floor. “With respect to all of the charges for which Tenant is responsible for under this section of the Lease, Tenant agrees to make its payment to Landlord no later than ten (10) days after receiving a billing with respect thereto from Landlord. Any failure by Tenant to pay the Additional Rent and/or charges under this section of the lease shall constitute a default by Tenant of its obligations under this Lease.” Landlord shall be under no obligation to furnish any utilities to the Premises and shall not be liable for any interruption or failure in the supply of any such utilities to the Premises, nor shall any interruption or failure entitle Tenant to an abatement of Rent. Tenant agrees it will at all times keep sufficient heat in the Premises to prevent the pipes therein from freezing. Landlord shall have the right to install a wireless intranet, Internet and communications network (“Landlord’s Wi-Fi”) within the Building or Complex for the use of itself or tenants and their respective employees and agents.

Tenant shall have the right to install a wireless intranet, Internet and communications network (“Tenant’s Wi-Fi Network”) within the Premises for the use of Tenant and its employees, subject to this subsection and all other terms and conditions of this Lease.

For purposes of this Lease, the “ Business Hours ” shall mean 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on Monday through Friday and 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. on Saturday (except holidays). The cost of maintenance and service calls to adjust and regulate the HVAC system shall be charged to Tenant if the need for maintenance work results from either Tenant’s unreasonable adjustment of room thermostats or Tenant’s failure to comply with its obligations under the Lease. Such work shall be charged at hourly rates equal to then-current journeyman’s wages for HVAC mechanics 7.3 Repairs. Landlord shall, as part of the Operating Expenses, repair and maintain in a reasonably good condition (a) the Building’s shell and other structural portions of the Building and Complex (including the roof and foundations, floor slabs and exterior walls), (b) the basic plumbing, heating, ventilating, air conditioning, sprinkler and electrical systems within the Building’s core and (c) the Common Areas; provided, however, to the extent such maintenance or repairs are required as a result of any negligence of Tenant or any of Tenant’s agents, employees, contractors, licensees or invitees, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as additional rent, the costs of such maintenance and repairs. 7.4 Interruption of Services or Repairs. Anything in this Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, if the stoppage of services or a required repair, which Landlord is obligated to provide for Tenant, causes any portion of the Premises to become unusable by Tenant for more than twenty (20) consecutive days, then and in that event Tenant, as its sole remedy, shall be entitled to a pro-rata abatement of Fixed Rent as to such unusable portion of the Premises, commencing with the 2 nd day that the same are unusable.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above in this Section l0.l, if Tenant shall default in the performance of any of its obligations which Tenant has defaulted in more than twice previously in the same Lease Year (although Tenant shall have cured any such previous default after notice from Landlord and within the notice period) then Landlord lawfully may, but shall not be obligated to, immediately, or at any time thereafter during the existence of such default, and without demand or further notice, avail itself of and exercise any remedies permitted in this Section l0.l or by law, including but not limited to termination of this Lease. l0.2 Landlord’s Remedies . In the event that this Lease is terminated under any of the provisions contained in Section l0.l or shall be otherwise terminated for breach of any obligation of Tenant under this Lease, Tenant covenants to pay forthwith to Landlord, as compensation, the excess of the total Rent reserved for the remainder of the Term over the rental value of the Premises for the balance of the Term.

Tenant further covenants as an additional and cumulative obligation after such ending to pay punctually to Landlord all the sums and perform in the same manner and to the same extent and at the same time as if this Lease had not been terminated.

The obligations of this Lease shall run with the land, and this Lease shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns except that only the original Landlord named herein shall be liable for obligations accruing before the beginning of the Term, and thereafter the original Landlord named herein and each successive owner of the Premises shall be liable only for obligations accruing during the period of its ownership. The obligations of Landlord shall be binding upon the assets of Landlord which comprise only the Building (and the rents, income sales proceeds and insurance proceeds therefrom) but not upon other assets of Landlord nor any other land owned by Landlord near or adjacent to the Building. Without limiting the next preceding sentence, it is expressly agreed that if Landlord is a trust, Landlord's obligations hereunder shall not be binding upon the trustees of said trust individually nor upon the shareholders or beneficiaries of said trust, but only upon the trustees as trustees and upon their trust estate. l2.6 Acts of God .

Landlord and Tenant will cause their respective insurers to issue appropriate waiver of subrogation rights endorsements to all policies of insurance carried in connection with the Building or the Premises or the contents of either of them. l2.8 Status Certificate . Tenant agrees from time to time, upon not less than twenty (20) days' prior written request by Landlord, to execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord a statement in writing in form reasonably acceptable to Tenant certifying that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect and that Tenant has no defenses, offsets or counterclaims against its obligations to pay the Annual Fixed Rent and any Additional Rent and other charges and to perform its other covenants under this Lease (or, if there have been any modifications that the same is in full force and effect as modified and stating the modifications and, if there are any defenses, offsets, or counterclaims, setting them forth in reasonable detail), and the dates to which the Annual Fixed Rent and any additional rent and other charges have been paid. Any such statement delivered pursuant to this Section l2.8 may be relied upon by any prospective purchaser or mortgagee of the Premises, Building or the Complex or any prospective assignee of any such mortgage. l2.9 Rights of Mortgagee, Subordination, Estoppel Certifcate . l2.9.l It is agreed that the rights and interest of Tenant under this Lease shall be (i) subject and subordinate to any present or future mortgage or mortgages and to any and all advances to be made thereunder, and to the interest thereon upon the Premises or any property of which the Premises are a part, if the holder of such mortgage or mortgages shall elect, by notice to Tenant, to subject and subordinate the rights and interest of Tenant under this Lease to its mortgage, or (ii) prior to present or future mortgage or mortgages, if the holder of such mortgage shall elect, by notice to Tenant, to give the rights and interest of Tenant under this Lease priority to its mortgage. In the event of either of such elections, and upon notification by the holder of such mortgage or mortgages to that effect, the rights and interest of Tenant under this Lease shall be deemed to be subordinate to, or to have priority over, as the case may be, said mortgage or mortgages, irrespective of the time of execution or time of recording of any such mortgage or mortgages. Tenant agrees that it will, within twenty (20) days of Tenant’s receipt of a request of Landlord, execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all instruments in form reasonably acceptable to Tenant deemed by Landlord necessary or desirable to give effect to or notice of such subordination or priority. Any mortgage to which this Lease shall be subordinated may contain such terms, provisions and conditions as the mortgagee deems usual or customary. No holder of a mortgage shall be liable either as mortgagee or as assignee to perform, or be liable in damages for failure to perform, any of the obligations of Landlord unless and until such holder shall have acquired indefeasible title to the Premises and then only subject to and with the benefit of the provisions of Section l2.5. The word "mortgage" as used herein includes mortgages and modifications, consolidations, extensions, renewals, replacements and substitutes thereof. 12.9.2 Within twenty (20) days following the execution of this Lease, Landlord and Tenant shall execute and deliver a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement (“SNDA”) in the form required by Citizens Bank and Landlord shall procure such Citizens Bank execution. l2.9.3 Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall provide for the execution and delivery by Tenant a SNDA from any mortgagee holding a mortgage and this Lease shall not be subordinate to any such mortgage until such time as the SNDA has been executed and delivered by the holder of such mortgage to Tenant. Such agreement shall be delivered contemporaneously with the execution of the Lease. In the event that the holder of any mortgage or prospective mortgage on the property of which the Premises are a part, shall request any modification of any of the provisions of this Lease not substantially affecting Tenant’s rights, Tenant agrees to enter into a written agreement in recordable form with such holder or prospective holder, which shall effect such modification and shall provide that such modification shall become effective and binding upon Tenant and shall have the same force as an amendment to this Lease in the event of a foreclosure or other similar action taken by such holder or prospective holder. A provision directly relating to the rents payable hereunder, the duration of Lease Term hereof, or the size, use or location of the Premises shall be deemed a provision substantially affecting Tenant's rights, as well as a material change in the terms of the Lease in the reasonable judgment of the Tenant. l2.9.3a No assignment or sublease by Tenant of this Lease and no agreement to make or accept any surrender, termination or cancellation of this Lease and no agreement to modify so as to reduce the Rent, change the Term, or otherwise materially change the rights of Landlord under this Lease, or to relieve Tenant of any obligations or liability under this Lease, shall be valid unless consented to by Landlord's mortgagees of record, if any; provided, that Landlord shall be responsible for obtaining such consent and by executing any such document, shall be deemed to have represented to Tenant that such consent has been obtained. No act or failure to act on the part of Landlord which would entitle Tenant under the terms of this Lease, or by law, to be relieved of Tenant's obligations hereunder or to terminate this Lease, shall result in a release or termination of such obligations or a termination of this Lease unless (i) Tenant shall have first given written notice of Landlord's act or failure to act to Landlord's mortgagees of record, if any, specifying the act or failure to act on the part of Landlord which could or would give basis to Tenant's rights; and (ii) such mortgagees, after receipt of such notice, have failed or refused to correct or cure the condition complained of within a Reasonable Time thereafter; but nothing contained in this Section l2.9.3 shall be deemed to impose any obligation on any such mortgagees to correct or cure any such condition. “Reasonable Time" as used above means and includes a reasonable time to obtain possession of the mortgaged premises if the mortgagee elects to do so and a reasonable time to correct or cure the condition if such condition is determined to exist. Tenant agrees on request of Landlord to execute and deliver from time to time any agreement which may reasonably be deemed necessary to implement the provisions of this Section l2.9. The covenants and agreements contained in this Lease with respect to the rights, powers and benefits of a mortgagee (particularly, without limitation thereby, the covenants and agreements contained in this Section l2.9) constitute a continuing offer to any person, corporation or other entity becoming the mortgagee of the mortgaged premises, and such mortgagee is hereby constituted an obligee of Tenant to the same extent as though its name were written hereon as such; and such mortgagee shall be entitled to enforce such provisions in its own name. 12.9.4 Landlord and Tenant agree to execute, acknowledge and deliver to the other party, and to any assignee, mortgagee, lender or any other third party which either may designate, a statement in writing (an “Estoppel Certificate”) certifying that, if true, (i) to the best of that party's knowledge, this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect, (ii) that said party has no known defenses, offsets or counterclaims against its obligations to pay the Rent or any other charges and to perform its other covenants under this Lease (or, if there have been any modifications that the same is in full force and effect as modified and stating the modifications and, if there are any known defenses, offsets or counterclaims, setting them forth in reasonable detail), and (iii) a statement that, to the best of that party's knowledge, the other party is not in default hereunder (or if in default, the general nature of such default). The Estoppel Certificate shall be delivered by Tenant within thirty (30) days of request thereof by Landlord. l2.l0 No Accord and Satisfaction . No acceptance by Landlord of a lesser sum than the Annual Fixed Rent, additional rent or any other charge then due shall be deemed to be other than on account of the earliest installment of such rent or charge due, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any check or payment as rent or other charge be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord's right to recover the balance of such installment or pursue any other remedy in this Lease provided. l2.l1 Applicable Law and Construction . This Lease shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the state in which the Complex is located. If any term of this Lease, or the application thereof to any person or circumstances, shall to any extent be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Lease, or the application of such term to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each term of this Lease shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. There are no oral or written agreements between Landlord and Tenant affecting this Lease. This Lease may be amended only by instruments in writing executed by Landlord and Tenant. The titles of the several Articles and Sections contained herein are for convenience only and shall not be considered in construing this Lease. If there be more than one tenant of the Premises, the obligations imposed by this Lease upon Tenant shall be joint and several. l2.l2 Warranties . It is agreed that no warranties or representations, either express or implied in law or in fact, have been made by Landlord. l2.l3 Submission not an Option . The submission of this Lease or a summary of some or all of its provisions for examination does not constitute a reservation of or option for the Premises, or an offer to Lease, it being understood and agreed that this Lease shall not bind Landlord nor Tenant in any manner whatsoever until it has been approved and executed by Landlord and Tenant. l2.l4 Holdover by Tenant; Tenant at Will . If the Tenant remains in possession of the premises after the expiration of the terms of this Lease and continues to pay rent without any express agreement as to holding over, the Landlord's acceptance of rent will be deemed an acknowledgment of the Tenant's holding over upon a month-to-month tenancy, subject, however, to all of the terms and conditions of this Lease except as to the term hereof and any option to renew the term. l2.l5 Tenancy at Sufferance . If the Tenant remains in possession of the Premises after the expiration of the term of this Lease, whether as a month-to-month tenant pursuant to Section l2.l4 or otherwise, and the Landlord at any time declines to accept the rent at the rate specified herein, then the Tenant's holding over thereafter will be deemed to be as a tenant at sufferance. The Tenant will nevertheless be subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Lease except as to the term hereof and any option to renew the term and except that the Tenant will pay monthly rent at 125% of the amount otherwise due hereunder and, if Tenant remains in occupancy for in excess of sixty (60) days after the expiration of the term of this Lease, Tenant will pay all reasonable and actual losses, costs or damages (including reasonable attorneys' fees) sustained by the Landlord on account of such holding over. l2.16 Not a Partnership . Landlord shall not be deemed, in any way or for any purpose, to have become, by the execution of this Lease or any action taken thereunder, a partner of Tenant in its business or otherwise a joint venturer, or a member of any enterprise with Tenant. l2.17 Joint and Several Liability . If two or more individuals, corporations, partnerships or other business associations, or any combination of two or more thereof, shall sign this Lease as Tenant, the liability of each such individual, corporation, partnership or other business association to pay rent and perform all other obligations hereunder shall be deemed to be joint and several. l2.18 Items Included in Rent . Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, all amounts payable by Tenant to or on behalf of Landlord under this Lease, whether or not expressly denominated as Rent, including, without limitation, the Annual Fixed Rent and any Additional Rent, shall constitute rent for the purpose of Section 502(b)(7) of the Bankruptcy Code. l2.19 Signs . Tenant shall not place or install, or permit or suffer to be placed, installed or maintained, any sign upon or outside of the Premises or in any part of the entire Premises unless approved by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained , Tenant shall be granted significant identity on the Building visible from Interstate 95 and monument signage directly in front of the Building, visible from entry streets. Landlord shall pay for the planning, fabrication, installation and maintenance of such Building and Monument signage. Tenant shall also be listed on the Building directory and shall be entitled to place signs bearing Tenant’s name inside the Premises which are visible from outside the Premises. 12.20 Environmental Indemnity . Tenant shall defend, indemnify and save harmless Landlord and its agents and employees against all loss, liability or expense relating to personal property or economic injury (including any costs incurred by Landlord in connection with the correction of any violation of environmental laws if Landlord is required by law to perform such correction) arising from the presence of hazardous materials located within the Premises or Complex if introduced by Tenant in violation of law. For purposes of this Lease the term “environmental laws” shall be defined to include all present or future laws or regulations regarding the use, storage, removal or abatement of hazardous, toxic and/or environmentally controlled materials. Landlord hereby represents to Tenant that, there is no hazardous materials or EHM’s located on the Premises and accordingly hereby agrees to remediate any such hazardous material condition that materially affects Tenant’s use of the Premises. If Landlord fails to remediate within a period of one hundred eighty (180) days, Tenant’s sole remedy shall be to terminate if the existence of such hazardous materials materially affects Tenant’s use of the Premises. Landlord shall provide confirmation that the premises are free of any environmentally hazardous material. Landlord agrees to comply, and to cause other tenants at the Building to comply, with all Environmental Laws concerning the proper storage, handling and disposal of any toxic or hazardous materials or substances.

TENANT: ASURE SOFIWARE, INC., a Delaware corporation By: Name: Title: LANDLORD: WILD BASIN I & ll INVESTORS, LP, a Texas limited partnership By: Landlord Witness: By: Name: Atberd E. Anderson Title: President 7 EXHIBIT A OUTLINE AND LOCATION OF PREMISES Suite 150 4,129 rsf Expansion Space Suite 100 6,977 rsf Asure Current Premises WILD BASIN 1,1st FLOOR A-1 EXHIBITB WORK LETTER 1. This Work Letter shall set forth the obligations of Landlord and Tenant with respect to certain improvements to be performed by Landlord in the Expansion Space, it being agreed that Landlord shall have no obligation to perform any improvements in the Current Premises. All improvements described in this Work Letter to be constructed in and upon the Expansion Space by Landlord are hereinafter referred to as the "Landlord's Work."Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that Plans (hereinafter defined) for the Landlord's Work have not yet been prepared and, therefore, it is impossible to determine the exact cost of the Landlord's Work at this time. Accordingly, Landlord and Tenant agree that Landlord's obligation to pay for the cost of Landlord's Work shall be limited to $37,500.00 (the "Construction Allowance") and that Tenant shall be responsible for the cost of Landlord's Work to the extent that it exceeds the Construction Allowance ("Excess Costs"). The Construction Allowance may only be used for the cost of preparing the Plans and for hard costs in connection with the Landlord's Work, and in no event shall the Construction Allowance be used for the purchase of cabling, equipment, furniture or other items of personal property of Tenant. Any portion of the Construction Allowance remaining on the date that is six (6) months after the Expansion Date shall be the sole property of Landlord and Tenant shall not be entitled to any credit, payment or abatement on account thereof. Landlord shall enter into a direct contract for Landlord's Work with a general contractor selected by Landlord. In addition, Landlord shall have the right to select and/or approve of any subcontractors used in connection with the Landlord's Work. Tenant shall pay Landlord, within ten (10) days after Landlord's written demand, a construction fee equal to 4% of the cost of Landlord's Work to compensate for its construction management services in connection with Landlord's Work. Landlord reserves the right to deduct such fee from the Construction Allowance. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, in no event shall Landlord be required to perform any of the Landlord's Work during any period an uncured default by Tenant exists under the Lease, as amended hereby. Provided Tenant has paid Landlord any Excess Costs, in the event Landlord fails to pay any contractor in connection with the Landlord's Work and such non-payment results in a lien on the Premises, then such lien shall not be deemed a default by Tenant and Tenant shall have no obligations to release or bond over such lien. 2. Space planning, architectural and engineering (mechanical, electrical and plumbing) drawings for the Landlord's Work shall be prepared at Tenant's sole cost and expense, subject to funding through the Construction Allowance. The space planning, architectural and engineering drawings are collectively referred to herein as the "Plans". 3. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord any information reasonably requested by Landlord and shall deliver to Landlord Tenant's approval or disapproval of any preliminary or final layout, drawings, or plans within five (5) business days after written request. Any disapproval shall be in writing and shall set forth in reasonable detail the reasons for such disapproval. Tenant shall devote such time in consultation with Landlord and Landlord's architect and engineer as may be required to provide all information Landlord deems necessary in order to enable Landlord's architect and engineer to complete, and obtain Tenant's written approval of the Plans for Landlord's Work. Neither the approval ofthe Plans nor the supervision of Landlord's Work by Landlord shall constitute a representation or warranty by Landlord as to the accuracy, adequacy, sufficiency and propriety of the Plans or the quality of workmanship or compliance of Landlord's Work with applicable law. B-1 4. Prior to commencing any construction of Landlord's Work, Landlord shall submit to Tenant a written estimate setting forth the anticipated cost of the Landlord's Work, including but not limited to labor and materials, architect's fees, contractor's fees and permit fees. Within five (5} business days thereafter, Tenant shall either notify Landlord in writing of its approval of the cost estimate, or specify its objections thereto in reasonable detail and any desired changes to the proposed Landlord's Work. In the event Tenant notifies Landlord of such objections and desired changes, Tenant shall work with Landlord in good fuith to alter the scope of Landlord's Work in order to reach a mutually acceptable alternative cost estimate. 5. If Landlord's estimate and/or the actual cost of Landlord's Work shall exceed the maximum Construction Allowance, Tenant shall pay to Landlord fifty percent (50%} of such Excess Costs within two (2} business days after Landlord's written demand. Landlord shall not be required to proceed with Landlord's Work until Tenant pays such portion of the Excess Costs and any delay in the completion of Landlord's Work due to a delay by Tenant in making such payment shall be deemed a Delay. Upon substantial completion of Landlord's Work, Tenant shall pay the remaining portion of the Excess Costs within ten (I0} business days after receipt of an invoice therefor from Landlord. The statements of costs submitted to Landlord by Landlord's contractors shall be conclusive for purposes of detennining the actual cost of the items described therein. Excess Costs constitute rent payable pursuant to the Lease, and the fuilure to timely pay same constitutes a default under the Lease. 6. If Tenant shall request any changes to Landlord's Work that are approved in writing by Landlord ("Change Orders"}, Landlord shall have any necessary revisions to the Plans prepared, and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord on demand for the cost of preparing such revisions. Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing of the estimated increased cost, if any, which will be chargeable to Tenant by reason of such Change Orders and Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing whether it desires to proceed with such Change Order within two (2} business days after receiving Landlord's estimate of the cost ofthe Change Order. If Tenant approves the Change Order in writing, the increased cost shall be deemed Excess Costs hereunder and shall be subject to the provisions of Paragraph 5 above. If Tenant fails to timely notify Landlord of its approval or disapproval of the requested Change Order, Landlord shall have the option to continue work on the Expansion Space disregarding the requested Change Order, or Landlord may elect to discontinue work on the Expansion Space until it receives notice of Tenant's decision, in which event Tenant shall be responsible for any delay in completion of Landlord's Work resulting therefrom. 7. Following approval of the Plans and the payment by Tenant of the required portion of the Excess Costs, if any, Landlord shall cause Landlord's Work to be constructed substantially in accordance with the approved Plans, so long as no default shall occur under the Lease, as amended hereby. Landlord's Work shall be perfonned in a good and workmanlike manner and in compliance with all applicable laws. Landlord shall notify Tenant upon substantial completion o fLandlord's Work. B-2 8. Tenant acknowledges that the Landlord's Work may be performed by Landlord in the Expansion Space during normal business hours subsequent to the Expansion Date. Landlord and Tenant agree to cooperate with each other in order to enable the Landlord's Work to be performed in a timely manner and with as little inconvenience to the operation of Tenant's business as is reasonably possible. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any delay in the completion of the Landlord's Work or inconvenience suffered by Tenant during the performance of the Landlord's Work shall not delay the Expansion Date nor shall it subject Landlord to any liability for any loss or damage resulting therefrom or entitle Tenant to any credit, abatement or adjustment of rent or other swns payable under the Lease, as amended hereby. 9. Landlord's and Tenant's representatives for coordination of construction and approval of any revisions to the Plans will be as follows, provided that either party may change its representative upon written notice to the other: 10. This Work Letter shall not be applicable to any additional space added to the Expansion Space at any time or from time to time, whether by any options under the Lease or otherwise, or to any portion of the Expansion Space or any additions to the Expansion Space in the event of a renewal or extension of the Lease tenn, as amended hereby, whether by any options under the Lease or otherwise, unless expressly so provided in the Lease or any amendment or supplement to the Lease.

Landlord's Representative: Tenant's Representative: Curt Whitlatch Asure Software HPJ Real Estate, Inc. 110 Wild Basin Rd. #100 3600 North Capital ofTexas Highway Austin TX, 78746 Building B, Suite 250 214-704810 Austin, TX 78746 (512) 835-4455 B-3 EXHIBIT 14.01 ASURE SOFTWARE CODE OF BUSINESS CONDUCT AND ETHICS Introduction Our Company’s reputation for honesty and integrity is the sum of the personal reputations of our directors, officers and employees. To protect this reputation and to promote compliance with laws, rules and regulations, this Code of Business Conduct and Ethics has been adopted by our Board of Directors. This Code is only one aspect of our commitment. You must also be familiar with and comply with all other policies contained in our employee policy manual. This Code sets out the basic standards of ethics and conduct to which all of our directors, officers and employees are held. These standards are designed to deter wrongdoing and to promote honest and ethical conduct, but will not cover all situations. If a law conflicts with a policy in this Code, you must comply with the law; however, if a local custom or policy conflicts with this Code, you must comply with the Code. If you have any doubts whatsoever as to the propriety of a particular situation, you should submit it in writing to our Company’s Director of Human Resources, who will review the situation and take appropriate action in keeping with this Code, our other corporate policies and the applicable law. If your concern relates to that individual, you should submit your concern, in writing, to the President of the Company. The mailing address of each of those individuals is included at the end of this Code. Those who violate the standards set out in this Code will be subject to disciplinary action. 1. Scope If you are a director, officer or employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, you are subject to this Code. 2. Honest and Ethical Conduct We, as a Company, require honest and ethical conduct from everyone subject to this Code. Each of you has a responsibility to all other directors, officers and employees of our Company, and to our Company itself, to act in good faith, responsibly, with due care, competence and diligence, without misrepresenting material facts or allowing your independent judgment to be subordinated and otherwise to conduct yourself in a manner that meets with our ethical and legal standards. 3. Compliance with Laws, Rules and Regulations You are required to comply with all applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations, both in letter and in spirit. Although you are not expected to know the details of all the applicable laws, rules and regulations, we expect you to seek advice from our Company's Director of Human Resources if you have any questions about whether the requirement applies to the situation or what conduct may be required to comply with any law, rule or regulation. 4. Conflicts of Interest You must handle in an ethical manner any actual or apparent conflict of interest between your personal and business relationships. Conflicts of interest are prohibited as a matter of policy. A "conflict of interest" exists when a person's private interest interferes in any way with the interests of our Company. For example, a conflict situation arises if you take actions or have interests that interfere with your ability to perform your work for our Company objectively and effectively. Conflicts of interest also may arise if you, or a member of your family, receive an improper personal benefit as a result of your position with our Company. If you become aware of any material transaction or relationship that reasonably could be expected to give rise to a conflict of interest, you should report it promptly to our Company’s Director of Human Resources or President. Conflicts of interest are prohibited as a matter of Company policy, except under guidelines approved by the Board of Directors. The following standards apply to certain common situations where potential conflicts of interest may arise: A. Gifts and Entertainment Personal gifts and entertainment offered by persons doing business with our Company may be accepted when offered in the ordinary and normal course of the business relationship. However, the frequency and cost of any such gifts or entertainment may not be so excessive that your ability to exercise independent judgment on behalf of our Company is or may appear to be compromised. B. Financial Interests In Other Organizations The determination whether any outside investment, financial arrangement or other interest in another organization is improper depends on the facts and circumstances of each case. Your ownership of an interest in another organization may be inappropriate if the other organization has a material business relationship with, or is a direct competitor of, our Company and your financial interest is of such a size that your ability to exercise independent judgment on behalf of our Company is or may appear to be compromised. As a general rule, a passive investment would not likely be considered improper if it: (1) is in publicly traded shares; (2) represents less than 1% of the outstanding equity of the organization in question; and (3) represents less than 5% of your net worth. Other interests also may not be improper, depending on the circumstances. C. Outside Business Activities The determination of whether any outside position an employee may hold is improper will depend on the facts and circumstances of each case. Your involvement in trade associations, professional societies, and charitable and similar organizations will not normally be viewed as improper. However, if those activities are likely to take substantial time from or otherwise conflict with your responsibilities to our Company, you should obtain prior approval from your supervisor. Other outside associations or activities in which you may be involved are likely to be viewed as improper only if they would interfere with your ability to devote proper time and attention to your responsibilities to our Company or if your involvement is with another Company with which our Company does business or competes. For a director, employment or affiliation with a Company with which our Company does business or competes must be fully disclosed to our Company’s Board of Directors and must satisfy any other standards established by applicable law, rule (including rule of any applicable stock exchange) or regulation and any other corporate governance guidelines that our Company may establish. D. Indirect Violations You should not indirectly, through a spouse, family member, affiliate, friend, partner, or associate, have any interest or engage in any activity that would violate this Code if you directly had the interest or engaged in the activity. Any such relationship should be fully disclosed to our Company’s Director of Human Resources or President (or the Board of Directors if you are a director), who will make a determination whether the relationship is inappropriate, based upon the standards set forth in this Code. 5. Corporate Opportunities You are prohibited from taking for yourself, personally, opportunities that are discovered through the use of corporate property, information or position, unless the Board of Directors has declined to pursue the opportunity. You may not use corporate property, information, or position for personal gain, or to compete with our Company directly. You owe a duty to our Company to advance its legitimate interests whenever the opportunity to do so arises. 6. Fair Dealing You should endeavor to deal fairly with our Company’s suppliers, competitors and employees and with other persons with whom our Company does business. You should not take unfair advantage of anyone through manipulation, concealment, abuse of privileged information, misrepresentation of material facts, or any other unfair-dealing practice. 7. Public Disclosures It is our Company’s policy to provide full, fair, accurate, timely, and understandable disclosure in all reports and documents that we file with, or submit to, the Securities and Exchange Commission and in all other public communications made by our Company. 8. Confidentiality You should maintain the confidentiality of all confidential information entrusted to you by our Company or by persons with whom our Company does business, except when disclosure is authorized or legally mandated. Confidential information includes all non-public information that might be of use to competitors of, or harmful to, our Company or persons with whom our Company does business, if disclosed. 9. Insider Trading If you have access to material, non-public information concerning our Company, you are not permitted to use or share that information for stock trading purposes, or for any other purpose except the conduct of our Company’s business. All non-public information about our Company should be considered confidential information. Insider trading, which is the use of material, non- public information for personal financial benefit or to "tip" others who might make an investment decision on the basis of this information, is not only unethical but also illegal. The prohibition on insider trading applies not only to our Company’s securities, but also to securities of other companies if you learn of material non-public information about these companies in the course of your duties to the Company. Violations of this prohibition against "insider trading" may subject you to criminal or civil liability, in addition to disciplinary action by our Company. 10. Protection and Proper Use of Company Assets You should protect our Company’s assets and promote their efficient use. Theft, carelessness, and waste have a direct impact on our Company’s profitability. All corporate assets should be used for legitimate business purposes. The obligation of employees to protect the Company's assets includes its proprietary information. Proprietary information includes intellectual property such as trade secrets patents, trademarks, and copyrights, as well as business, marketing and service plans, engineering and manufacturing ideas, designs, databases, records, salary information and any unpublished financial data and reports. Unauthorized use or distribution of this information would violate Company policy. It could also be illegal and result in civil or even criminal penalties. 11. Interpretations and Waivers of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics If you are uncertain whether a particular activity or relationship is improper under this Code or requires a waiver of this Code, you should disclose it to our Company's Director of Human Resources or President (or the Board of Directors if you are a director), who will make a determination first, whether a waiver of this Code is required and second, if required, whether a waiver will be granted. You may be required to agree to conditions before a waiver or a continuing waiver is granted. However, any waiver of this Code for an executive officer or director may be made only by the Company’s Board of Directors and will be promptly disclosed to the extent required by applicable law, rule (including any rule of any applicable stock exchange) or regulation. 12. Reporting any Illegal or Unethical Behavior Our Company desires to promote ethical behavior. Employees are encouraged to talk to supervisors, managers or other appropriate personnel when in doubt about the best course of action in a particular situation. Additionally, employees should promptly report violations of laws, rules, regulations or this Code to our Company’s Director of Human Resources or President. Any report or allegation of a violation of applicable laws, rules, regulations or this Code need not be signed and may be sent anonymously. All reports of violations of this Code, including reports sent anonymously, will be promptly investigated and, if found to be accurate, acted upon in a timely manner. If any report of wrongdoing relates to accounting or financial reporting matters, or relates to persons involved in the development or implementation of our Company's system of internal controls, a copy of the report will be promptly provided to the chairman of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, which may participate in the investigation and resolution of the matter. It is the policy of our Company not to allow actual or threatened retaliation, harassment or discrimination due to reports of misconduct by others made in good faith by employees. Employees are expected to cooperate in internal investigations of misconduct. 13. Compliance Standards and Procedures This Code is intended as a statement of basic principles and standards and does not include specific rules that apply to every situation. Its contents have to be viewed within the framework of our Company’s other policies, practices, instructions and the requirements of the law. This Code is in addition to other policies, practices or instructions of our Company that must be observed. Moreover, the absence of a specific corporate policy, practice or instruction covering a particular situation does not relieve you of the responsibility for exercising the highest ethical standards applicable to the circumstances. In some situations, it is difficult to know right from wrong. Because this Code does not anticipate every situation that will arise, it is important that each of you approach a new question or problem in a deliberate fashion: (a) Determine if you know all the facts. (b) Identify exactly what it is that concerns you. (c) Discuss the problem with a supervisor or, if you are a director, the Company's Director of Human Resources. (d) Seek help from other resources such as other management personnel or our Company’s Director of Human Resources. (e) Seek guidance before taking any action that you believe may be unethical or dishonest. You will be governed by the following compliance standards: • You are personally responsible for your own conduct and for complying with all provisions of this Code and for properly reporting known or suspected violations; • If you are a supervisor, manager, director or officer, you must use your best efforts to ensure that employees understand and comply with this Code; for your violation of this Code; Violation of any of the standards contained in this Code, or in any other policy, practice or instruction of our Company, can result in disciplinary actions, including dismissal and civil or criminal action against the violator. This Code should not be construed as a contract of employment and does not change any person's status as an at-will employee. This Code is for the benefit of our Company, and no other person is entitled to enforce this Code. This Code does not, and should not be construed to, create any private cause of action or remedy in any other person for a violation of the Code. Adopted by Resolution of the Board of Directors June 10, 2004 • No one has the authority or right to order, request or even influence you to violate this Code or the law; a request or order from another person will not be an excuse for your violation of this Code; • Any attempt by you to induce another director, officer or employee of our Company to violate this Code, whether successful or not, is itself a violation of this Code and may be a violation of law; • Any retaliation or threat of retaliation against any director, officer or employee of our Company for refusing to violate this Code, or for reporting in good faith the violation or suspected violation of this Code, is itself a violation of this may be a violation of law; and • Our Company expects that every reported violation of this Code will be investigated.
