Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant
On July 18, 2007, AXS-One Inc. entered into a Second Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (the “Second Amended Agreement”) with Silicon Valley Bank to amend and restate the terms of its existing loan agreement with Silicon Valley Bank.
The Second Amended Agreement provides for a revolving line of credit in an amount equal to the lesser of $2.5 million or 80% of eligible gross domestic accounts receivable. Borrowings under the revolving line of credit bear interest at prime rate plus one quarter of one percent (0.25%) on the average gross daily financed account balance and there is no collateral handling fee. Should the liquidity ratio (as defined in the Second Amended Agreement) fall below 1.30:1.00, the interest rate would increase to prime rate plus three quarters of one percent (0.75%) on the average gross daily financed account balance in addition to a monthly collateral handling fee of one quarter percent (0.25%) of the average monthly financed receivable balance. AXS-One is required to pay quarterly interest charges equal to 10% of the minimum net facility usage. If actual interest charges incurred exceed minimum, then no additional charge will be assessed. The Second Amended Agreement is secured by substantially all domestic assets of AXS-One. The maturity date of the loan is April 1, 2008. The loan is subject to acceleration upon breach of: (i) a covenant tested quarterly requiring AXS-One’s net loss not to exceed $4.0 million, $2.8 million and $2.4 million for the quarters ended June 30, 2007, September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2007, respectively and (ii) other customary non-financial covenants.
The foregoing description of the Second Amended Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Second Amended Agreement, a copy of which is attached to this Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1.
Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing
On July 17, 2007, AXS-One Inc. (the “Company”) received a written notice from the American Stock Exchange (the “AMEX”) advising that the Company was not in compliance with the AMEX’s listing requirements (contained in Section 1003(a)(ii) of the AMEX Company Guide) because it has shareholders equity of less than $4,000,000 and losses from continuing operations and/or net losses in three out of its four most recent fiscal years. Previously, on October 6, 2006, the AMEX notified the Company that shareholders’ equity as of June 30, 2006 was less than $2,000,000 and losses from continuing operations and/or net losses were incurred in two of the three most recent fiscal years which is also not in compliance with Section 1003(a)(i) of the AMEX Company Guide.
The Company submitted a plan to the AMEX in November 2006 describing the actions it would take to come into compliance with the listing standards by April 6, 2008 and in January 2007 the AMEX accepted the Company’s plan. When this plan was filed, it was anticipated that the Company would not be in compliance with Section 1003(a)(ii) of the AMEX Guide, given that it expected to report an operating loss for 2006. Now that the results for 2006 have been reported, the AMEX has issued this formal notice of additional noncompliance.
The Company’s current 18 month plan submitted to the AMEX in November 2006, if achieved, will bring the Company into compliance with both Section 1003(a)(i) and 1003(a)(ii) by April 6, 2008.

During the plan period, the Company must continue to provide the AMEX staff with updates regarding initiatives set forth in its plan of compliance. The Company will be subject to periodic review by the AMEX staff during the plan period. If the Company is not in compliance with the continued listing standards on April 6, 2008 or the Company does not make progress consistent with the plan during the plan period, then the AMEX may initiate immediate delisting proceedings. If the Company’s common stock is de-listed from the AMEX, the trading market for the Company’s shares may be adversely affected.
The Company is currently included in a list of issuers, which is posted daily on the AMEX website, that are not in compliance with the continued listing standards and “.BC” is appended to the Company’s ticker symbol whenever the Company’s trading symbol is transmitted with a quotation or trade. The website posting and indicator will remain in effect until the Company has regained compliance with all applicable continued listing standards.
On July 20, 2007, the Company issued the press release attached to this Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1 with respect to the foregoing matters.
