"We have completed the integration of the recently acquired
iEmployee business and the response from our customers to our
expanded product line has been very positive. We believe we have
the right strategy to continue to grow our business in this large
and expanding workforce management market," said Richard N. Snyder,
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Asure Software.
Software and Services Business
Software and services revenue increased $1.7 million or 177%
from the three months ended April 30, 2007 to the three months
ended April 30, 2008. Revenues include sales of NetSimplicity's
Meeting Room Manager ("MRM") and Visual Asset Manager ("VAM"), and
sales of the Company's iEmployee workforce management software.
Also included in these revenues are software maintenance and
support services and professional services. Software and services
revenue for the three months ended April 30, 2008 was $2.7 million,
essentially flat with the three months ended January 31, 2008.
However, the Company's backlog increased by 66% to approximately
$0.5 million reflecting strong growth in new customer installations
and deployments.
Gross Margin
Software and services gross margins increased $1.3 million or
164% from the three months ended April 30, 2007 versus the three
months ended April 30, 2008. Software and services gross margin for
the 2008 fiscal third quarter was $2.1 million. Gross margin as a
percentage of revenues was 76%, essentially flat with the period
ending January 31, 2008.
Operating Expenses
Total operating expenses decreased $0.4 million or 10% from the
three months ended April 30, 2007 to the three months ended April
30, 2008. Operating expenses for the three months ended April 30,
2008, were $3.7 million, essentially flat with the 2008 fiscal
second quarter.
Net Loss
The Company reported a planned net loss of $1.6 million, or
($0.05) per share, during the three months ended April 30,
2008.
Cash and Liquidity
Cash decreased by a planned reduction of $1.7 million and the
company maintains a cash and securities balance in excess of $16
million.
Outlook
The Company continues to develop its inside sales force for
iEmployee and release new software updates for all product lines.
Management believes its software and services revenues will
continue to increase. Gross margins from the segment are expected
to improve during the next fiscal quarter. In May 2008, management
identified additional operational synergies that enabled the
company to reduce total employee headcount from 146 to 105.
The Company did not have any intellectual property licensing
revenues for the three or nine months ended April 30, 2008.
Management does not anticipate any additional licensing revenues
from the patents which have generated such revenues in prior fiscal
years.
