Share based compensation for our stock option plans for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 were $24 and $11, respectively. We issued 2,500 and 6,125 shares of common stock related to exercises of stock options granted from our Stock Option Plan for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

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 our employees and consultants. We generally grant stock options with exercise prices greater than or equal to the fair market value at the time of grant.  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.   Our shareholders approved an amendment to the 2009 Plan in June 2012 to increase the number of shares reserved under the plan from 525,000 to 900,000. We have a total of 677,000 options granted and outstanding pursuant to the 2009 Plan as of March 31, 2013.
