LIQUIDITY

On April 11, 2013, we received a letter from The NASDAQ Stock Market (“NASDAQ”) stating that pursuant to Rule 5550(b)(2), we had not met the $35 million minimum Market Value of Listed Securities (“MVLS”) for our common stock for the period from February 26, 2013 to April 10, 2013. Rule 5550(b)(2) requires the Company to have a minimum MVLS of $35 million for at least 30 consecutive business days. In order to regain compliance with Rule 5550(b)(2), the Company’s MVLS must close at $35 million or more for a minimum of 10 consecutive trading days. The NASDAQ notification has no immediate effect on the listing of our common stock and Asure has a grace period of 180 calendar days, or until October 8, 2013, to regain compliance.

Under Rule 5550, we can regain compliance and avoid the potential for delisting of our common stock by satisfying any one of the MVLS test, the minimum equity test  (total stockholders’ equity of $2,500) or the minimum net income test ($500 in net income from operations). Although we cannot control our stock price or market capitalization, we continue to monitor the MVLS for our common stock and are considering various options available to us if our common stock does not trade at a level that is likely to regain compliance within the requisite grace period.

In May 2013, we sold approximately 662,000 shares of common stock to various investors, including certain directors of the Company and other entities affiliated with the directors at a purchase price of $5.31 per share, for proceeds, net of fees and expenses, of approximately $3,500.  We believe this transaction allows us to meet the minimum equity test and brought us back into compliance with the NASDAQ requirements and we are awaiting confirmation from NASDAQ to this effect.

As of June 30, 2013, Asure’s principal source of liquidity consisted of $3,295 of current cash and cash equivalents as well as future cash generated from operations.  We believe that we have and/or will generate sufficient cash for our short- and long-term needs, including meeting the requirements of our Notes Payable, and the related debt covenant requirements. We are continuing to reduce expenses and thus may utilize our cash balances in the short-term to reduce long-term costs. Based on current internal projections, we believe that we currently have and/or will generate sufficient cash for our operational needs, including any required debt payments, for at least the next twelve months.

Management is focused on growing our existing product offering as well as our customer base to increase our recurring customer revenues. We are also exploring additional strategic acquisitions in the near future, although we have no agreements to make any acquisition at this time.  In the short-term, Asure plans to fund any acquisitions with equity, available cash, future cash from operations, or cash or debt raised from outside sources. 

We cannot assure that we can grow our cash balances or limit our cash consumption and thus maintain sufficient cash balances for our planned operations or future acquisitions. Future business demands may lead to cash utilization at levels greater than recently experienced. We may need to raise additional capital in the future. However, we cannot assure that we will be able to raise additional capital on acceptable terms, or at all. Subject to the foregoing, management believes that we have sufficient capital and liquidity to fund and cultivate the growth of our current and future operations for at least the next 12 months and to maintain compliance with the terms of our debt agreements and related covenants or to obtain compliance through debt repayments made with the available cash on hand.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance on disclosures of additional information with respect to changes in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) balances by component and significant items reclassified out of AOCI. Expanded disclosures for presentation of changes in AOCI involve disaggregating the total change of each component of other comprehensive income as well as presenting separately for each such component the portion of the change in AOCI related to (1) amounts reclassified into income and (2) current-period other comprehensive income. Additionally, for amounts reclassified into income, we are required to disclose in one location, based upon each specific AOCI component, the amounts impacting individual income statement line items. We are required to disclose the income statement line item impacts only for components of AOCI reclassified into income in their entirety. We would make the disclosures required with respect to income statement line item impacts in either the notes to the consolidated financial statements or parenthetically on the face of the financial statements. For us, this Accounting Standards Update is effective beginning January 1, 2013. Because this standard only impacts presentation and disclosure requirements, its adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated results of operations or financial condition.
Commitments and Contingencies, Policy [Policy Text Block]
CONTINGENCIES

In December 2012, we demanded a purchase price adjustment from PeopleCube Holding B.V. and Meeting Maker Holding B.V., the sellers of the capital stock of Meeting Maker – United States, Inc. (dba PeopleCube) that we purchased in July 2012, based on matters we discovered after closing.  Both parties have agreed for the post-closing adjustment to be resolved by an Independent Accountant consistent with the purchase agreement.  In January 2013, we filed a claim in federal court seeking contractual indemnification for the sellers’ breach of warranties and representations made in the purchase agreement.  The sellers simultaneously filed a claim in the state court of Massachusetts alleging that we did not comply with certain provisions of the purchase agreement.  In May 2013, the sellers amended their original complaint to allege misrepresentations and omissions by us in connection with the purchase transaction.  The sellers seek an unspecified amount of damages and the trebling of such damages once calculated. We have filed a counterclaim in Massachusetts for breach of warranties and representations.  We believe the sellers' claims for damages are without merit and we are defending against them vigorously.
