NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2008
(UNAUDITED)
Note 1 - Nature of Operations
Nature of Operations
Axiom Management, Inc. (“the Company”, “our”, “we”, “us”), formerly Princeton Holdings, Inc. (through July 2007), formerly SkyFrames Communications, Inc. (through June 2007), formerly Action Industries, Inc. (through January 2007) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Pennsylvania. The Company operates as a holding company.
On July 30, 2007, the Company entered into an agreement with Axiom Staff Management, Inc. (Axiom Staff) whereby 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Axiom Staff were exchanged for 11,700,000 shares of the Company. As a result, Axiom Staff became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
For accounting purposes, this transaction has been accounted for as a reverse merger, since the stockholders of Axiom Staff own a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company, and the directors and executive officers of Axiom Staff became the directors and executive officers of the Company. This acquisition was accounted for at historical cost in a manner similar to that in pooling of interests method since after the acquisition, the former shareholders of Axiom Staff acquired majority of the outstanding shares of the Company. The financial statements of the legal acquirer are not significant; therefore, no pro forma financial information is submitted. Thus, the historical financial statements are those of "Axiom Staff Management, Inc. & Subsidiary".
Axiom Staff Management, Inc. was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on August 13, 2003. Axiom Staff is a full-service staff recruitment company that ranges from order fulfillment to human resource management.
Coastal Employment, Inc. (Coastal) was incorporated under the laws of the State of California on September 7, 2006. Coastal is a full-service employment, staff recruitment and human resource management company. Coastal’s main clients are logistics providers, clerical, technical, manufacturing, medical and light industries.
On November 1, 2006, the sole shareholder of Coastal entered into an agreement with Axiom Staff whereby 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Coastal were acquired for $25,000 bonus and 500,000 shares of Axiom Staff. As a result, Coastal became a wholly owned subsidiary of Axiom Staff. Coastal had insignificant operations as of the date of acquisition and the purchase consideration was treated as a deemed dividend to the shareholder as the prior shareholder is related to the officer, director and major shareholder of Axiom.
On December 12, 2007, the Company signed an agreement with an officer and effectively separated from Axiom Staff Management, Inc. Per the agreement, the officer assumed certain liabilities in exchange for 100% of Axiom Staff’s issued and outstanding stock, and the Company retained certain liabilities and 100% of Coastal’s issued and outstanding stock. As a result of the separation, the Company recorded an approximately $1.2 million increase in additional paid-in capital for the net liabilities disposed of. The officer resigned from the office of the Company subsequent to the completion of the transaction. The business operations of Axiom Staff were transferred to the Company and are carried on by the Company.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Axiom Management, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Axiom Staff Management, Inc., (through December 12, 2007) and Coastal Employment, Inc.
All material inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Preparation of Interim Condensed Financial Statements
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X, and Generally Accepted Accounting Principles for interim financial reporting. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company. The information furnished herein reflects all adjustments consisting of normal recurring accruals and adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly present the operating results for the respective periods. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally present in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes for the year ended December 31, 2007 included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10. The results of the nine month period ended September 30, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2008.
Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of 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. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include collectibility of accounts receivable, accounts payable, sales returns and recoverability of long-term assets.
Basic and Diluted Income (Loss) Per Share
Net loss per share is calculated in accordance with the Statement of financial accounting standards No. 128 (SFAS No. 128), "Earnings per share". Basic net loss per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net loss per share is based on the assumption that all dilutive convertible shares and stock options were converted or exercised. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, options and warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period.
Weighted average number of shares used to compute basic and diluted loss per share is the same in these financial statements since the effect of dilutive securities is anti-dilutive.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk are cash, accounts receivable and other receivables arising from its normal business activities. The Company places its cash in what it believes to be credit-worthy financial institutions. The Company has a diversified customer base. The Company controls credit risk related to accounts receivable through credit approvals, credit limits and monitoring procedures. The Company routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers and, based upon factors surrounding the credit risk, establishes an allowance, if required, for uncollectible accounts and, as a consequence, believes that its accounts receivable credit risk exposure beyond such allowance is limited.
Risks and Uncertainties
The Company is subject to substantial risks from, among other things, intense competition associated with the industry in general, other risks associated with financing, liquidity requirements, rapidly changing customer requirements, limited operating history and the volatility of public markets.
Contingencies
Certain conditions may exist as of the date the financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company’s management and legal counsel assess such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company’s legal counsel evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought.
If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potential material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss if determinable and material would be disclosed.
Loss contingencies considered to be remote by management are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantee would be disclosed.
Note 3 - Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2006, FASB issued SFAS 158 ‘Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans—an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R). This Statement improves financial reporting by requiring an employer to recognize the over funded or under funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan (other than a multiemployer plan) as an asset or liability in its statement of financial position and to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income of a business entity or changes in unrestricted net assets of a not-for-profit organization. This Statement also improves financial reporting by requiring an employer to measure the funded status of a plan as of the date of its year-end statement of financial position, with limited exceptions. An employer with publicly traded equity securities is required to initially recognize the funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan and to provide the required disclosures as of the end of the fiscal year ending after December 15, 2006. An employer without publicly traded equity securities is required to recognize the funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan and to provide the required disclosures as of the end of the fiscal year ending after June 15, 2007. However, an employer without publicly traded equity securities is required to disclose the following information in the notes to financial statements for a fiscal year ending after December 15, 2006, but before June 16, 2007, unless it has applied the recognition provisions of this Statement in preparing those financial statements:
| 1. | A brief description of the provisions of this Statement |
| 2. | The date that adoption is required |
| 3. | The date the employer plans to adopt the recognition provisions of this Statement, if earlier. |
The requirement to measure plan assets and benefit obligations as of the date of the employer’s fiscal year-end statement of financial position is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008. Management is currently evaluating the effect of this pronouncement on the consolidated financial statements.
In February 2007, FASB issued FASB Statement No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”. FAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted subject to specific requirements outlined in the new statement. Therefore, calendar-year companies may be able to adopt FAS 159 for their first quarter 2007 financial statements. The new statement allows entities to choose, at specified election dates, to measure eligible financial assets and liabilities at fair value that are not otherwise required to be measured at fair value. If a company elects the fair value option for an eligible item, changes in that item's fair value in subsequent reporting periods must be recognized in current earnings. FAS 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to draw comparison between entities that elect different measurement attributes for similar assets and liabilities. Management is currently evaluating the effect of this pronouncement on the consolidated financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements”. This Statement amends ARB 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling (minority) interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. SFAS No. 160 is effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning October 1, 2009. Management is currently evaluating the effect of this pronouncement on the financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), “Business Combinations”. This Statement replaces SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations. This Statement retains the fundamental requirements in Statement 141 that the acquisition method of accounting (which Statement 141 called the purchase method) be used for all business combinations and for an acquirer to be identified for each business combination. This Statement also establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer: a) recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree; b) recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase and c) determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS No. 141(R) will apply prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after Company’s fiscal year beginning October 1, 2009. While the Company has not yet evaluated this statement for the impact, if any, that SFAS No. 141(R) will have on its financial statements, the Company will be required to expense costs related to any acquisitions after September 30, 2009.
In March, 2008, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”. The new standard is intended to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. It is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. The new standard also improves transparency about the location and amounts of derivative instruments in an entity’s financial statements; how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement 133; and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. FASB Statement No. 161 achieves these improvements by requiring disclosure of the fair values of derivative instruments and their gains and losses in a tabular format. It also provides more information about an entity’s liquidity by requiring disclosure of derivative features that are credit risk–related. Finally, it requires cross-referencing within footnotes to enable financial statement users to locate important. Based on current conditions, the Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 161 to have a significant impact on its results of operations or financial position.
In May of 2008, FSAB issued SFASB No.162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The pronouncement mandates the GAAP hierarchy reside in the accounting literature as opposed to the audit literature. This has the practical impact of elevating FASB Statements of Financial Accounting Concepts in the GAAP hierarchy. This pronouncement will become effective 60 days following SEC approval. The company does not believe this pronouncement will impact its financial statements.
In May of 2008, FASB issued SFASB No. 163, Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts-an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60. The scope of the statement is limited to financial guarantee insurance (and reinsurance) contracts. The pronouncement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2008. The Company does not believe this pronouncement will impact its financial statements.
Note 4 - Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles which contemplate continuation of the company as a going concern. However, the Company has incurred net operating losses of $580,210 and $436,919 during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and the Company's operations do not generate sufficient cash to cover its operating costs. In view of the matters described above, recoverability of a major portion of the recorded asset amounts shown in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet is dependent upon continued operations of the Company, which in turn is dependent upon the Company’s ability to raise additional capital, obtain financing and succeed in its future operations, the financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Management has taken certain restructuring steps to provide the necessary capital to continue its operations. These steps included: 1) acquire profitable operations through issuance of equity instruments; and 2) to continue actively seeking additional funding and restructure the acquired subsidiaries to increase profits and minimize the liabilities.
Furthermore, the Company is planning to purchase an additional subsidiary operating company which will add revenues to the Company.
Note 5 - Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivables of $15,053 and $50,045 as of September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively, comprise of the non- factored receivables of the Company. These receivables are cash on delivery customers and are not factored. The Company invoices the customers and gets paid upfront at the time of delivery of checks to the employees.
Management determines the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful debts based on historical write-off percentages and information collected from individual customers. At September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007 management determined all accounts receivable were fully collectible, as such the balance of the allowance for doubtful accounts is $0 at September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007.
Note 6-Due from Factor
Pursuant to the terms of an agreement between the Company and a factor, the Company sells a majority of its trade accounts receivable to the factor on a pre-approved, recourse basis. The Company maintains all credit risk on accounts sold to the factor with recourse. The price at which the accounts are sold is the invoice amount reduced by the factor commission (3.25% of the invoice amount) and all selling discounts. As of September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, recourse receivables totaled $187,285 and $126,026, respectively.
The Company’s obligations with respect to advances from the factor are limited to the interest charges thereon. The factoring agreement can be terminated by the factor on 30-days written notice.
The status of the Company’s factors receivables are as follows:
| | September 30, 2008 | | | December 31, 2007 | |
Receivables assigned to factor: | | | | | | |
Recourse | | $ | 449,632 | | | $ | 745,222 | |

Forward-looking statements are necessarily based upon estimates and assumptions that are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control and many of which, with respect to future business decisions, are subject to change. Certain statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including, without limitation, statements containing the words "believe," "anticipate," "estimate," "expect," "are of the opinion that" and words of similar import, constitute "forward-looking statements." You should not place any undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.
You should be aware that our results from operations could materially be effected by a number of factors, which include, but are not limited to the following: economic and business conditions specific to the employment services industry; competition and the pricing and of services offered by us and our competitors; changes in customer attitudes toward the use of staffing services; our ability to control costs and expenses, and access to capital. There may be other factors not mentioned above or included elsewhere in this report that may cause actual results to differ materially from any forward-looking information.
OVERVIEW AND BACKGROUND
We operate as a full service employment services company headquartered in Montebello, California. We provide employee management, risk management, and workers compensation insurance and our services range from order fulfillment to human resource management.
The Company is structured as a holding company, and as a holding company, the Company’s operations are conducted through its subsidiary operating companies. We formerly managed our employment services business through Axiom Staff Management, Inc. (“Axiom Staff”) and its subsidiary Coastal Employment, Inc. (“Coastal”). As described in greater detail below, in December 2007, the Company divested its interests in Axiom Staff, while retaining its interest in Coastal.
We currently operate our employment services business through Coastal. Coastal is a full-service employment, staff recruitment and human resource management company. Coastal’s main clients are logistics providers, clerical, technical, manufacturing, medical and light industries.
A more detailed description of our services through Coastal is as follows:
| • | | Permanent, temporary and contract recruitment – We find the best people for all types of jobs in the logistic industry at both the general staffing and professional levels. The positions we fill positions from general labor, forklift drivers, and supervisors in the warehouse operations. In the office we fill positions from clerical to accounts receivable; and from data entry to supervisory positions. Our fees for this service are based upon a general mark up that would include the employee’s salary, workers compensation, and our fee. |
| • | | Employee assessment and selection – We provide a wide array of assessments to validate candidate skills and ensure a good fit between the client and the employee, which leads to higher employee retention rates. We provide background checks, document verification, forklift certification and general office skill testing. Additional services such as extensive background checks for criminal activity, safety training courses for large groups can also be arranged at the customer’s request. |
| • | | Human Resource Administration Services – We support and provide solutions to our customers existing human resource departments as it pertains to our temporary employees on assignment with the customer. We provide all employer services such as hiring, training, disciplinary and firing in regards to our temporary staff on assignment with our customers. We also provide payroll services and tax payment services for our employees assigned to our customers. |
| • | | Risk Management Solutions –Through our Risk Management services, we help clients maximize the return on their human capital investments while assisting individuals to achieve their full potential. We provide a full range of risk management services ranging from facility walk through, forklift training, and train the trainer on safety. Our facility walk throughs are designed to help our customers meet all requirements as set by the California Division of Occupational Safety and Health (CAL OSHA). |
Axiom Staff
We formerly operated our employment services through our subsidiary Axiom Staff Management, Inc. (“Axiom Staff”). Axiom Staff was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on August 13, 2003. Axiom Staff was a full-service staff recruitment company that offered services ranging from order fulfillment to human resource management. During mid-2006, Axiom Staff decided to go into the area of risk management. In order to avoid potential conflicts of interest related to these risk management services and their other employment services, Coastal was formed. Coastal was incorporated under the laws of the State of California on September 7, 2006. On November 1, 2006, the sole shareholder of Coastal, who is also the wife of Mr. James Clapp, entered into an agreement with Axiom Staff whereby Axiom Staff was to receive 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Coastal. As a result, Coastal became a wholly owned subsidiary of Axiom Staff.
On July 30, 2007, the Company entered into an agreement with Axiom Staff whereby 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Axiom Staff were exchanged for 11,700,000 shares of common stock of the Company. As a result, Axiom Staff became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and Coastal became an indirect subsidiary of the Company through the Company’s ownership of Axiom Staff.
For accounting purposes, this transaction has been accounted for as a reverse merger, since the stockholders of Axiom Staff own a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company, and the directors and executive officers of Axiom Staff became the directors and executive officers of the Company. This acquisition was accounted for at historical cost in a manner similar to that in pooling of interests method since after the acquisition, the former shareholders of Axiom Staff acquired majority of the outstanding shares of the Company. The financial statements of the legal acquirer are not significant; therefore, no pro forma financial information is submitted. Thus, the historical financial statements are those of Axiom Staff.
On December 12, 2007, the Company entered into an agreement with Mr. Pete Morales, an officer of the Company at the time, whereby Mr. Morales would receive 100% of the issued and outstanding common stock of Axiom Staff in exchange for his assumption of certain liabilities of Axiom Staff and his resignation from the Company, and the Company would retain certain liabilities of Axiom Staff and would become the direct owner of 100% of the issued and outstanding common stock of Coastal (the “Axiom Staff Sale”).
As a result of the Axiom Staff Sale, the Company retained its interests in Coastal, and its employment, staff recruitment and human resource management operations, but divested its interest in Axiom Staff, and its risk management operations. The result of the above transaction eliminated the risk management division and has forced the Company to outsource such services.

Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk |
Not applicable.
Item 4. | Controls and Procedures |
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) that are designed to assure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (the same person has both titles), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide reasonable assurance only of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily is required to apply its judgment in weighing the costs and benefits of possible new or different controls and procedures. Limitations are inherent in all control systems, so no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and any fraud within the company have been detected.
As required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b), as of the end of the period covered by this report, management, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (the same person has both titles), evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of that date.
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
