(1) OPERATIONS, BUSINESS CONDITIONS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

AXS-One Inc. designs, markets and supports records compliance management software that includes digital archiving, business process management, electronic document delivery and integrated records disposition and discovery for e-mail, instant messaging, images, SAP and other corporate records, and until October 31, 2006, financial management applications for global 2000 businesses, and scheduling and time and expense software for professional services organizations. The Company also offers consulting, implementation, training, technical support and maintenance services in support of its customers’ use of its software products.

On October 31, 2006, the Company sold certain assets and liabilities through which it operated the AXS-One Enterprise Solutions financial management and accounting applications business (‘‘Enterprise Solutions’’) to Computron Software, LLC for the sum of $12 million in cash plus future potential consideration for exceeding specified license revenue targets. Additionally, Computron Software, LLC assumed assets of approximately $2.1 million and liabilities of approximately $8.3 million. The Company recorded a gain of $17.2 million on the sale. The assets sold primarily consisted of client contracts, marketing agreements, internally developed software, accounts receivable and fixed assets of the business. The liabilities sold consisted primarily of employee related liabilities, accounts payable and deferred revenue. The Company has classified the Enterprise Solutions business as a discontinued operation in these financial statements. Previously, the Company had two reporting segments, Records Compliance Management and Enterprise Solutions. As a result of the sale of the Enterprise Solutions, Records Compliance Management is the Company’s only reporting segment with two distinct revenue streams; license fees and services.

(a) Basis of Presentation

The accompanying Consolidated Interim Financial Statements include the accounts of AXS-One Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries located in Australia, Singapore, South Africa, and the United Kingdom (collectively, the ‘‘Company’’). All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

Until May 31, 2006, the Company had a 49% ownership in a joint venture in its South African operation, AXS-One African Solutions (Pty) Ltd (‘‘African Solutions’’). The joint venture was considered to be a variable interest entity as defined in FASB Interpretation No. 46R, ‘‘Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities’’ (FIN 46R). However, the Company had determined that it was not the primary beneficiary. Accordingly, until May 31, 2006, the Company used the equity method of accounting for the joint venture whereby investments, including loans to the joint venture, were stated at cost plus or minus the Company’s equity in undistributed earnings or losses. On May 31, 2006, the Company purchased the remaining 51% of African Solutions from African Legends Technology for $161,000 less cash acquired of $20,000, to make it a wholly owned subsidiary. The Company applied purchase account ing to record the transaction. The purchase price was less than the fair value of assets acquired and therefore the Company wrote-down the value of all long-term assets to zero and recorded a gain of $37,000. As of June 1, 2006, 100% of the results of African Solutions are included in the consolidated results of the Company in discontinued operations as it was part of the Enterprise Solutions business segment.

The unaudited Consolidated Interim Financial Statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with US generally accepted accounting principles and, in the opinion of management, contain all adjustments, consisting only of those of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation of these Consolidated Interim Financial Statements.

The preparation of Consolidated Interim Financial Statements in conformity with US generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Consolidated Interim Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Some of the significant estimates involve allowance for doubtful accounts, accrued expenses, provision for income taxes in foreign jurisdictions, assessment of contingencies, and compensation expense pursuant to SFAS No. 123R.

The accompanying Financial Statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Certain information and note disclosures normally contained in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted, although the Company believes the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading.

These Consolidated Interim Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year 2007 or any future periods.

AXS-One incurred a loss of $19.6 million, $15.1 million and $2.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively, from continuing operations. The net loss for the first nine months of 2007 was $10.9 million. We have not yet been able to obtain operating profitability from continuing operations and may not be able to be profitable on a quarterly or annual basis in the future. Management’s initiatives over the last three years, including the restructurings in December 2006, June 2005 and June 2004, the private placements of common stock in June 2005 and April 2004, the executive management salary reductions for most of the second half of 2005 and for all of 2007, the sale of the Enterprise Solutions business, securing additional debt financing of $3.75 million in November 2007 and $5.0 million in May 2007, and the revised Silicon Valley Bank financing have b een designed to improve operating results and liquidity and better position AXS-One to compete under current market conditions. However, we will in the future be required to seek new sources of financing or future accommodations from our existing lenders or other financial institutions, or we may seek equity infusions from private investors. Our ability to fund our operations is heavily dependent on the growth of our revenues over current levels to achieve profitable operations, particularly given the recent sale of the Enterprise Solutions business, which historically was our profitable segment. We may also be required to further reduce operating costs in order to meet our obligations if deemed necessary. If we are unable to achieve profitable operations or secure additional sources of capital, there would be substantial doubt about our ability to fund future operations. No assurance can be given that management’s initiatives will be successful or that any such additional sources of financing, lender accommodations or equity infusions will be available.

(b) Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Statement of Position 97-2, ‘‘Software Revenue Recognition’’ (‘‘SOP 97-2’’), and Statement of Position 98-9, ‘‘Modification of SOP 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, With Respect to Certain Transactions.’’ Revenue from non-cancelable software licenses is recognized when the license agreement has been signed, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable and collectibility is probable. The Company recognizes license revenue from resellers when an end user has placed an order with the reseller and the above revenue recognition criteria have been met with respect to the reseller. In multiple element arrangements, the Company defers the vendor-specific objective evidence (‘‘VSOE’’) of fair value related to the undelivered elements and recognizes revenue on the delivered elements using the residual method. If VSO E of fair value does not exist for any undelivered element, the entire arrangement consideration is deferred until VSOE of fair value is determined for that undelivered element or the element is delivered. The most commonly deferred elements are initial maintenance and consulting services. Initial maintenance is recognized on a straight-line basis over the initial maintenance term. The VSOE of maintenance is determined by using a consistent percentage of maintenance fee to license fee based on renewal rates. Maintenance fees in subsequent years are recognized on a straight-line basis over the life of the applicable agreement. Maintenance contracts entitle the customer to hot-line support and all unspecified product upgrades released during the term of the maintenance contract. Upgrades include any and all unspecified patches or releases related to a licensed software product. Maintenance does not include implementation services to install these upgrades. The VSOE of services is determined by using an average consulting rate per hour for consulting services sold separately multiplied by the estimate of hours required to complete the consulting engagement.

Delivery of software generally occurs when the product (on CDs) is delivered to a common carrier. Occasionally, delivery occurs through electronic means where the software is made available through our secure File Transfer Protocol (FTP) site. The Company generally does not offer any customers or resellers a right of return.

For software license, services and maintenance revenue, the Company assesses whether the fee is fixed and determinable and whether or not collection is probable based on the payment terms associated with the transaction and the credit-worthiness of the customer. If a significant portion of a fee is due after our normal payment terms, which are 30 to 90 days from invoice date, the fee is considered not fixed and determinable. In these cases, the Company recognizes revenue as the fees become due and collectibility is probable.

The Company assesses assuredness of collection based on a number of factors, including past transaction history with the customer and the credit-worthiness of the customer. Collateral is not requested from customers. If it is determined that collection of a fee is not probable, the fee is deferred and revenue is recognized at the time collection becomes probable, which is generally upon receipt of cash.

The Company’s arrangements do not generally include acceptance clauses. However, if an arrangement includes an acceptance provision, acceptance occurs upon the earliest of receipt of a written customer acceptance or expiration of the acceptance period.

The majority of our training and consulting services are billed based on hourly rates. The Company generally recognizes revenue as these services are performed. However, when there is an arrangement that is based on a fixed fee or requires significant work either to alter the underlying software or to build additional complex interfaces so that the software performs as the customer requests, the Company recognizes the related revenue using the percentage of completion method of accounting. This requirement is infrequent. This would apply to our custom programming services, which are generally contracted on a fixed fee basis. Anticipated losses, if any, are charged to operations in the period such losses are determined to be probable.

Revenues from transaction fees associated with subscription arrangements, billable on a per transaction basis and included in services revenue on the Consolidated Statements of Operations, are recognized based on the actual number of transactions processed during the period.

In accordance with EITF Issue No. 01-14, ‘‘Income Statement Characterization of Reimbursement Received for ‘Out of Pocket’ Expenses Incurred,’’ reimbursements received for out-of-pocket expenses incurred are classified as services revenue in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The functional currency for foreign subsidiaries is the local currency. The results of operations for these foreign subsidiaries are translated from local currencies into U.S. dollars using the average exchange rates during each period. Assets and liabilities are translated using exchange rates at the end of the period with translation adjustments accumulated in stockholders’ equity (deficit). Intercompany loans are denominated in U.S. currency. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses, related to short-term intercompany loans, were recorded in the consolidated statements of operations as incurred. As of January 1, 2007, all intercompany loans are considered of a long-term nature and therefore are accounted for in accordance with SFAS 52, ‘‘Foreign Currency Translation,’’ whereby foreign currency transaction gains and losses are recorded in cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment, a component of stockholder s’ equity.

(d) Stock-Based Compensation

On January 1, 2006 the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R (revised 2004), ‘‘Share-Based Payment’’ (‘‘SFAS 123R’’) which requires that the costs resulting from all share-based payment transactions be recognized in the financial statements at their fair values. The Company adopted SFAS 123R using the modified prospective application method under which the provisions of SFAS 123R apply to new awards granted after the adoption date and to awards modified, repurchased, or cancelled after the adoption date. Additionally,

compensation cost for the portion of the awards for which the requisite service has not been rendered that are outstanding as of the adoption date is recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Operations over the remaining service period after the adoption date based on the award’s original estimate of fair value. In connection with the adoption of SFAS 123R, the unearned stock compensation at December 31, 2005 of $0.2 million relating to previous grants of non-vested restricted stock was offset against additional paid-in capital during the first quarter of fiscal 2006. Total share-based compensation expense recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 was $0.1 million and $0.4 million, respectively and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 was $0.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively.

On November 10, 2005, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position 123(R)-3 (‘‘FSP 123R-3’’), ‘‘Transition Election Related to Accounting for the Tax Effects of Share-based Payment Awards,’’ that provides an elective alternative transition method of calculating the pool of excess tax benefits available to absorb tax deficiencies recognized subsequent to the adoption of SFAS 123R (the ‘‘APIC Pool’’) to the method otherwise required by paragraph 81 of SFAS 123R. The Company is currently in a net tax loss position and has not realized any tax benefits under SFAS 123R. In addition, no stock options for which related deferred tax assets have been recorded have been exercised to date.

The fair value of options granted is estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. Expected volatilities are calculated in part based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock. Management monitors share option exercise and employee termination patterns to estimate forfeiture rates within the valuation model. The expected holding period of options represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free interest rate for periods within the expected life of the option is based on the interest rate of a 5-year U.S. Treasury note in effect on the date of the grant.

The table below presents the assumptions used to calculate the fair value of options granted during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006.

Stock Option Plans

The Company has three stock incentive plans: the 1995 Stock Option Plan (the 1995 Plan), the 1998 Stock Option Plan (the 1998 Plan), and the 2005 Stock Incentive Plan (the 2005 Plan). Under the 1995 Plan, the Company could grant up to 4.5 million shares of common stock. The 1995 Plan has expired and no further options can be issued under this plan. Outstanding options under this plan will continue to vest. Under the 1998 Plan, the Company may grant stock options or stock appreciation rights to purchase an aggregate of up to 5 million shares of Common Stock. In accordance with June 2004 and May 2007 amendments, all shares under the 1998 Plan may be used for restricted stock awards. Under the 2005 Plan, the Company may grant stock options, stock appreciation rights and restricted stock to purchase an aggregate of up to 1.5 million shares of Common Stock. All options granted under the foregoing plans expire ten years from the date of grant (or five years for statutory

options granted to 10% stockholders), unless terminated earlier. Substantially all options vest over a four-year period. For a more detailed description of all stock incentive plans, refer to the Company’s 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Stock option transactions for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 under all plans are as follows:


(in thousands)	Number of Shares			Weighted Average Exercise Price			Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life		Aggregate Intrinsic Value as of 9/30/07
Balance, December 31, 2006		5,528			$	2.38

Exercisable at September 30, 2007		3,837			$	2.53		5.26		$	149

The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 was $33,000 and $80,000 as compared to $9,000 and $293,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006. As of September 30, 2007, there was approximately $357,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options granted under the plans. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.20 years.

A summary of stock options outstanding and exercisable as of September 30, 2007 follows:

Restricted Stock

Compensation expense for restricted stock is recorded based on its market value on the date of grant and recognized ratably over the associated service period, the period in which restrictions are removed. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 there were 500,000 and 800,000, respectively shares of restricted stock granted with fair values of $.04 million and $.06 million. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, there were 0 and 400,000, respectively, shares of restricted stock granted, with fair values of $0 and $1 million.

(d) Income Taxes

The Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48 (‘‘FIN 48’’) ‘‘Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes’’, on January 1, 2007. The adoption of FIN 48 had no impact on the Company’s financial position and statement of operations. As of September 30, 2007, there were no or insignificant unrecognized tax benefits.

(2) discontinued operAtions

to hire certain former AXS-One employees assigned to the Enterprise Solutions business. Further, AXS-One agreed to a non-competition agreement which prohibits the Company from engaging in the enterprise financial business for a period of five years. As a result of the transaction with Computron Software, LLC, our employee headcount has been reduced by approximately 70 positions.

There are no liabilities related to discontinued operations as of September 30, 2007.

There was no income statement activity related to discontinued operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The following chart summarizes the income statement for discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006:

(3) Revolving line of credit

On March 6, 2007, the Company entered into a Fourth Loan Modification Agreement (the ‘‘Fourth Modification Agreement’’) with the Bank effective as of February 15, 2007 to amend and supplement its Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement dated as of September 13, 2005 between the Company and the Bank, as amended by the First Loan Modification Agreement dated as of March 14, 2006, the Second Loan Modification Agreement dated as of October 31, 2006, and the Third Loan Modification Agreement dated as of November 11, 2006 (as amended, the ‘‘Loan Agreement’’).

August 31, 2007 and September 30, 2007, and (D) $1.00 as of the month ended October 31, 2007 and as of the last day of each month thereafter and (ii) a covenant requiring the Company to maintain Liquidity (representing the amount of unrestricted cash of the Company at the Bank plus the unused availability under the Loan Agreement) at all times of at least $1 million. The Bank also waived the Company’s existing defaults under the Loan Agreement based on certain failures to meet prior financial covenants during the year ended December 31, 2006.

For each month of 2007 the Company was in compliance with its liquidity covenant but was not in compliance with its minimum tangible net worth covenant of $1.7 million for the months ended February 28 and March 31, 2007. Tangible Net Worth as of March 31, 2007 was $1.2 million. On May 15, 2007, the Bank waived such violations and agreed to forbear until June 15, 2007, from exercising its rights and remedies with respect to the default of the Company for failure to comply with the tangible net worth covenant.

On July 18, 2007, the Company entered into a Second Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement with the Bank to amend and supplement the Loan Agreement (as amended, the ‘‘Second Amended Agreement’’). 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 as long as the Company’s liquidity ratio (as described in the Second Amended Agreement) is above 1.30:1.00. Should the liquidity ratio 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 of one percen t (0.25%) of the average monthly financed receivable balance. The Company 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 the Company. The maturity date of the loan is April 1, 2008. As described in greater detail in the Second Amended Agreement, the loan is subject to acceleration upon breach of: (i) a covenant tested quarterly requiring the Company’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.

For the months ended August 31, 2007 and September 30, 2007, the Company’s liquidity ratio was below 1.30:1.00. This increased the interest rate to prime rate plus three quarters of one percent (0.75%) in addition to a monthly collateral handling fee of one quarter of one percent (0.25%) of the average monthly financed receivable balance. For the months ended August 31, 2007 and September 30, 2007, the Company had no borrowings and therefore paid no more than the minimum required interest of 10% of the net facility usage. For the quarter ended September 30, 2007, the Company was not in compliance with the quarterly net loss of $2.8 million. On November 16, 2007 the bank waived such violation and adjusted the net loss covenant to become a monthly net loss covenant not to exceed a rolling three month net loss, included a minimum license revenue amount for the fourth quarter of 2007, and increased the int erest rate. The interest rate is now prime rate plus one and one-quarter of one percent (1.25%) in addition to a monthly collateral handling fee of one quarter of one percent (0.25%) of the average monthly financed receivable balance. If the Company’s liquidity ratio (as described in the Second Amended Agreement) is above 1.30:1.00, the interest rate decreases to prime rate plus three-quarters of one percent (.75%). As of September 30, 2007 and November 13, 2007, the Company had no outstanding borrowings with the bank.

(4) Convertible noteS

On May 29, 2007, the Company entered into a Convertible Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement (the ‘‘Purchase Agreement’’) pursuant to which it sold and issued an aggregate of $5 million of convertible notes consisting of (i) $2.5 million of Series A 6% Secured Convertible Promissory Notes due May 29, 2009 and (ii) $2.5 million of Series B 6% Secured Convertible Promissory Notes due May 29, 2009, together with warrants to purchase an aggregate of 2 million shares of common stock of AXS-One. Net cash proceeds to AXS-One after transaction expenses were

approximately $4.9 million. The notes and warrants were sold in a private placement under Rule 506 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, to three accredited investors.

The Series A notes mature on May 29, 2009, are convertible into AXS-One common stock at a fixed conversion rate of $1.00 per share, bear interest of 6% per annum and are secured by substantially all the assets of AXS-One. The Series B notes mature on May 29, 2009, are convertible into AXS-One common stock at a fixed conversion rate of $2.50 per share, bear interest of 6% per annum and are secured by substantially all the assets of AXS-One. The security interest of the noteholders has been subordinated to the security interest of Silicon Valley Bank, AXS-One’s current senior lender. Each series of notes may be converted at the option of the noteholder at any time prior to maturity.

Each noteholder received a warrant to purchase a number of shares of AXS-One common stock equal to 40% of the principal amount of notes purchased. Each warrant has an exercise price of $0.01 per share and is exercisable at any time through May 29, 2014. The value of the warrants using the Black Scholes model is $1.3 million using the following assumptions; issue date stock price of $0.66 per share, a risk free rate of 4.59%, a term of seven years and volatility of 66%. The Company calculated the relative value of warrants as a percent of value of the convertible debt and recorded the relative value of $1 million as a discount to the convertible debt offset by an increase to additional-paid-in-capital. This amount will be amortized as interest expense over the two year term of the convertible debt. As of September 30, 2007, the net value of the notes shown in the long-term liabilities section of the Company’s balance sheet is $ 4.2 million. The gross value of the notes as of September 30, 2007 is $5.1 million.

On November 13, 2007, the Company entered into a Convertible Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement pursuant to which it sold and issued on November 16, 2007 an aggregate $3.75 million of Series C 6% Secured Convertible Promissory Notes due May 29, 2009 together with warrants to purchase an aggregate of 3,750,000 shares of common stock of AXS-One at an exercise price of $.01 per share. Net cash proceeds to AXS-One after transaction expenses were approximately $3.65 million. The Series C notes and warrants were sold in a private placement under Rule 506 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, to accredited investors.

The Series C notes will mature on May 29, 2009, will be convertible into AXS-One common stock at a fixed conversion rate of $1.00 per share, bear interest of 6% per annum and are secured by substantially all the assets of AXS-One. The security interest of the Series C noteholders has been subordinated to the security interest of Silicon Valley Bank, AXS-One’s current senior lender and rank pari passu with the Series A and Series B convertible notes issued on May 29, 2007. The Series C notes are convertible at the option of the noteholder at any time on or after December 4, 2007 and prior to maturity.

Each Series C noteholder also received a warrant to purchase a number of shares of AXS-One common stock equal to 100% of the principal amount of notes purchased. Each warrant has an exercise price of $0.01 per share and is exercisable at any time on or after December 4, 2007 during the seven year period following the closing. The value of the warrants using the Black Scholes model is $1.8 million using the following assumptions; issue date stock price of $0.50 per share, a risk free rate of 4.04%, a term of seven years and volatility of 63%. The Company calculated the relative value of warrants as a percent of value of the convertible debt and will record the relative value of $1.2 million as a discount to the convertible debt offset by an increase to additional-paid-in-capital. This amount will be amortized as interest expense over the eighteen month term of the convertible debt.

Executive Overview

We are a leading provider of Records Compliance Management software designed to reduce the inherent risks associated with retaining and managing corporate records as well as to achieve efficiency in our customers business processes and to extend those efficiencies to their customers, suppliers and business partners. Our Records Compliance Management software – The AXS-One Compliance Platform™ – delivers an integrated archiving and electronic records management software solution that enables organizations to manage growing volumes of disparate electronic records, including e-mail and instant messages, images, voice, office documents, ERP-generated data such as SAP and electronic print reports. All records are archived and managed according to corporate records policies from initial capture and indexing through archival, search and ultimate destruction. These products have been developed and optimized to address global issues of regulatory compli ance, corporate governance, litigation readiness, e-discovery, supervision and privacy as they relate to the retention and disposition of electronic records, as well as to significantly reduce infrastructure costs (primarily storage and associated management costs).

Our revenues are derived mainly from license fees from software license agreements entered into with our customers, including through resellers, for both our products and, to a lesser degree, third party products resold by us and services revenues from software maintenance agreements, training, consulting services including installation and custom programming. We also derive a small amount of

Table of Contents

revenue (5.0% and 4.4% of total revenues for the first nine months of 2007 and 2006, respectively) from subscription revenue arrangements.

We are based in Rutherford, New Jersey with approximately 131 full-time employees in continuing operations, as of September 30, 2007, in offices worldwide, including Asia, Australia, South Africa, the United Kingdom and the United States. Our foreign offices generated approximately 45.3% and 37.8% of our total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. We expect that such revenues will continue to represent a significant percentage of our total revenues in the future. Most of our international license fees and services revenues are denominated in foreign currencies. Fluctuations in the value of foreign currencies relative to the US dollar in the future could result in fluctuations in our revenue.

On October 31, 2006, we sold certain assets and liabilities through which we operated the AXS-One Enterprise Solutions financial management and accounting applications business (‘‘Enterprise Solutions’’) to Computron Software, LLC for the sum of $12 million in cash plus future potential consideration for exceeding specified license revenue targets. Additionally, Computron Software, LLC assumed net liabilities of approximately $6.2 million. We recorded a gain of $17.2 million on the sale. The assets sold primarily consisted of client contracts, marketing agreements, internally developed software, accounts receivable and fixed assets of the business. The liabilities sold consisted primarily of employee related liabilities, accounts payable and deferred revenue.

We encounter competition for all of our products in all markets and compete primarily based on the quality of our products, our price, our customer service and our time to implement. The timing of the release of new products is also important to our ability to generate sales. During the second half of 2003, we launched our Records Compliance Management solution for e-mail and Instant Messaging Archival and Supervision in response to new regulatory requirements for financial institutions in the United States as well as to address the need to reduce costs in the e-mail management area. During 2006 and 2007, we announced further significant development of the AXS-One Compliance Platform, focusing primarily on enhancements to address the growing market for litigation readiness and risk management. In 2006, we introduced major new functionality including .PST management and file system archiving. Both leverage the high-performance workflow integrated into the AXS-One Compliance Platform to address the scalability and litigation/liability issues of today’s enterprises associated with managing and migrating .PST files and records stored in file systems. Significant enhancements were made to the product’s Case Management functionality in response to growing pressures on organizations worldwide regarding litigation readiness and e-discovery. Enhancement to Supervisory Review focused on performance, scale and ease of use, in response to enterprise-wide demand for this functionality (versus departmental needs). Finally, usability enhancements were introduced to facilitate administration within the e-mail archiving products and significantly reduce implementation time and effort for the entire platform. In 2007, we further enhanced our product’s Case Management capabilities. Several features were added in this area, such as the ability to create litigation holds, thus preventing deletions of data that is part of a legal case, automatic scheduled updates of case folders and an easy way to export and provide data in response to legal discovery requests. These enhancements position the AXS-One solution as an industry leading solution in this area and further consolidate AXS-One as a technical leader in the Compliance archiving sector.

Our future ability to grow revenue will be directly affected by continued price competition, success of our strategic partnerships and our ability to sustain an increasingly higher maintenance revenue base from which to grow. Our growth rate and total revenues depend significantly on future services for existing customers as well as our ability to expand our customer base and to respond successfully to the pace of technological change. If our maintenance renewal rate or pace of new customer acquisitions slows, our revenues and operating results would be adversely affected.

We have experienced, and may in the future experience, significant fluctuations in our quarterly and annual revenues, results of operations and cash flows. We believe that domestic and international operating results and cash flows will continue to fluctuate significantly in the future as a result of a variety of factors. For a description of these factors that may affect our operating results, see ‘‘Risk Factors’’ in our 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Comparison of Three Months Ended September 30, 2007 to 2006

Revenues

Total revenues from continuing operations increased $0.3 million or 11.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2007 as compared to the corresponding prior year period due to a $0.1 million and $0.2 million increase in license fees and service fees respectively.

Total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2007 included $0.2 million or 10.0% of total revenues from one customer. Total revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2006 included $0.3 million or 12.8% of total revenues from one customer.

The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, each major category of our services revenues as a percent of total services revenues:


	Three Months Ended September 30,
(dollars in thousands)	2007						2006
				% of						% of
	Amount			Total			Amount			Total
Maintenance		$	1,385		71.0	%		$	1,089		62.0	%
Consulting			427		21.9	%			570		32.4	%
Subscription revenue			138		7.1	%			98		5.6	%
Total services revenue		$	1,950		100.0	%		$	1,757		100.0	%

Maintenance revenue increased in the third quarter of 2007 compared with 2006 as a result of increased maintenance contracts from new license agreements in the prior four quarters. Consulting revenue decreased in the same period resulting from two large implementation projects during the third quarter of 2006 with no similar consulting project in the third quarter of 2007. Subscription revenue has increased resulting from larger volumes of records being processed through the Company’s hosted e-Delivery product in the third quarter 2007 compared with the third quarter 2006.

Cost of license fees consists primarily of amortization of capitalized software development costs and amounts paid to third parties with respect to products we resell in conjunction with the licensing of our products. The elements can vary substantially from period to period as a percentage of license fees. Cost of license fees for the three months ended September 30, 2007 were $0.1 million lower than the same period last year due to lower usage and lower cost of third party software as well as no amortization of capitalized software development cost in the third quarter of 2007. All capitalized software development costs have been fully amortized as of December 31, 2006.

Cost of services consists primarily of personnel and third party costs for product quality assurance, training, installation, consulting and customer support. Cost of services decreased $0.8 million or 37.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2007, as compared to the corresponding prior year period. The decrease for the three-month period was mainly due to headcount reductions as a result of the reduction in force implemented in the fourth quarter of 2006. The service margin was 29.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2007 compared with a negative service margin of 24.9% for the corresponding prior year period. This margin improvement was a result of the lower cost in the third quarter of 2007 versus the third quarter of 2006 and higher maintenance revenue.

Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of salaries, commissions and bonuses related to sales and marketing personnel, as well as travel and promotional expenses. Sales and marketing expenses were $0.2 million or 10.7% lower for the three months ended September 30, 2007, as compared to the corresponding prior year period. The decrease for the three-month period was primarily due to headcount reductions as a result of the reduction in force implemented in the fourth quarter of 2006 and lower marketing program cost offset somewhat by the use of third party consultants.

Table of Contents

Research and development expenses consist primarily of personnel costs, costs of equipment, facilities and third party software development costs. Research and development expenses have been charged to operations as incurred. However, certain software development costs were capitalized in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 86 (‘‘SFAS 86’’). Such capitalized software development costs have been amortized to cost of license fees on a straight-line basis over periods not exceeding three years. There was no cost capitalized over the periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006.

Research and development expenses were $0.6 million or 36.6% higher for the three months ended September 30, 2007, as compared to the comparable prior year period. The increase for the three-month period was primarily due to severance cost of approximately $0.7 million related to the departure of the Executive Vice President of R&D, offset slightly by headcount reductions as a result of the reduction in force implemented in the fourth quarter of 2006.

Operating Loss

Operating loss improved by $0.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007 as compared to the corresponding prior year period as a result of the reductions in operating expenses of $0.6 million due to the reasons described and higher sales revenue of $0.3 million.

Other Income (Expense), Net

Other income (expense), net decreased $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007, as compared to the same period in 2006. This decrease is a result of higher interest expense associated with the convertible debt issued on May 29, 2007 and lower foreign exchange transaction gains during the three months ended September 30, 2007 as compared to the same period last year. As of January 1, 2007, the Company has considered its inter-company loans to its foreign subsidiaries to be permanently reinvested. As a result of this decision, all foreign currency translation adjustments are recorded through the foreign currency translation adjustment account in the stockholders’ equity section of the Company’s balance sheet and are no longer recorded on the Company’s Statement of Operations.

Loss from continuing operations

Loss from continuing operations improved $0.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007, as compared to the same period in 2006 for the reasons described in ‘‘Operating Loss’’ above.

Income from discontinued operations

There was no activity in discontinued operations during the three months ended September 30, 2007 compared to income of $2.3 million in the same period of 2006. The Enterprise Solutions business was sold on October 31, 2006 as described in footnote 2 to the financial statements contained herein.

Net loss

The net loss was $4.6 million, or $(0.13) per diluted share for the three months ended September 30, 2007, as compared to $2.8 million or $(0.08) per diluted share for the three months ended September 30, 2006, for the reasons described above.

Comparison of Nine Months Ended September 30, 2007 to 2006

Revenues

Total revenues from continuing operations increased $0.9 million or 12.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 as compared to the corresponding prior year period due to a $1.1 million

Table of Contents

or 63.9% increase in license fees. The nine months ended September 30, 2007 included license revenue of approximately $1.2 million from two large customers, with no comparable sized deals in the first nine months of 2006.

Total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 included $1.2 million, $1.0 million and $0.9 million or 13.3%, 12.0% and 10.4% of total revenues from three customers. Total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 included $1.1 million and $0.9 million or 14.3% and 12.2% of total revenues from two customers.

The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, each major category of our services revenues as a percent of total services revenues:


	Three Months Ended September 30,
(dollars in thousands)	2007						2006
				% of						% of
	Amount			Total			Amount			Total
Maintenance		$	4,029		68.7	%		$	3,450		57.3	%
Consulting			1,378		23.5	%			2,232		37.0	%

Total services revenue		$	5,861		100.0	%		$	6,025		100.0	%

Maintenance revenue increased for the first nine months of 2007 compared with 2006 as a result of increased maintenance contracts from new license agreements in the prior four quarters. Consulting revenue decreased in the same period resulting from two large implementation projects during the first nine months of 2006 with no similar consulting projects in the first nine months of 2007. Subscription revenue has increased resulting from larger volumes of records being processed through the Company’s hosted e-Delivery product in the first nine months of 2007 compared with the first nine months of 2006.

Operating Expenses

Cost of license fees consists primarily of amortization of capitalized software development costs and amounts paid to third parties with respect to products we resell in conjunction with the licensing of our products. The elements can vary substantially from period to period as a percentage of license fees. Costs of license fees for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 were $0.5 million lower than the same period last year due to lower usage and lower cost of third party software as well as there being no amortization of capitalized software development cost in the first nine months of 2007. All capitalized software development costs have been fully amortized as of December 31, 2006.

Cost of services consists primarily of personnel and third party costs for product quality assurance, training, installation, consulting and customer support. Cost of services decreased $2.1 million or 33.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, as compared to the corresponding prior year period. The decrease for the nine-month period was mainly due to headcount reductions as a result of the reduction in force implemented in the fourth quarter of 2006. The service margin was 28.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 compared with a negative service margin of 5.2% for the corresponding prior year period. This margin improvement was the result of the reduction in cost in the second quarter of 2007.

Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of salaries, commissions and bonuses related to sales and marketing personnel, as well as travel and promotional expenses. Sales and marketing expenses were $1.2 million or 15.9% lower for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, as compared to the corresponding prior year period. The decrease for the nine month period was primarily due to headcount reductions as a result of the reduction in force implemented in the fourth quarter of 2006 and lower marketing program costs.

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries for administrative, executive and financial personnel, and outside professional fees. General and administrative expenses were $0.2 million or 5.6% lower during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 as compared to the corresponding prior year period. This reduction resulted from executive management salary reductions, headcount reductions as a result of the reduction in force implemented in the fourth quarter of 2006 and lower facility costs.

Operating Loss

Operating loss improved $4.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 as compared to the corresponding prior year period as a result of the increase in license revenue of $1.1 million and reductions in operating expenses of $3.5 million resulting from the reasons described above.

Other Income (Expense), Net

Other income (expense), net decreased $0.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, as compared to the same period in 2006. This decrease is a result of higher interest expense associated with the convertible debt issued on May 29, 2007 and lower foreign exchange transaction gains during the three months ended September 30, 2007 as compared to the same period last year. As of January 1, 2007, the Company has considered its inter-company loans to its foreign subsidiaries to be permanently reinvested.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Silicon Valley Bank Financing

On August 11, 2004, the Company entered into a two-year Loan and Security Agreement (the ‘‘Agreement’’) with Silicon Valley Bank (the ‘‘Bank’’) which contained a revolving line of credit under which the Company had available the lesser of $4.0 million or 80% of eligible accounts, as defined.

Table of Contents

On January 27, 2005, March 28, 2005 and September 13, 2005, the Company entered into modifications to the Agreement (the ‘‘Amended Agreement’’) in order to revise certain terms of the Agreement including the loan fees, interest on the loan and the financial covenants.

On October 31, 2006 the Company and the Bank entered into a Second Loan Modification Agreement and an Intellectual Property Security Agreement. The Second Loan Modification Agreement served (a) to amend the Amended Agreement by reducing the amount the Company may borrow on a revolving basis from (i) up to the lesser of (A) $4 million or (B) 80.0% of the Eligible Accounts to (ii) up to the lesser of (A) $2 million or (B) 70.0% of the Eligible Accounts, and (b) as an agreement by the Bank to forbear until November 10, 2006 from exercising its rights and remedies with respect to the default of the Company for failure to comply with certain financial covenants under the Amended Agreement at September 30, 2006. The Intellectual Property Security Agreement serves to supplement the Amended Agreement by including among the assets securing the Company’s indebtedness to the Bank, a security interest in all of the Company&rsquo ;s right, title and interest in, to and under its intellectual property.

On November 11, 2006 the Company and the Bank entered into a Third Loan Modification Agreement. The Third Loan Modification Agreement serves (a) to amend the Second Loan Modification Agreement by increasing the amount the Company may borrow on a revolving basis from (i) up to the lesser of (A) $2 million or (B) 70.0% of the Eligible Accounts to (ii) up to the lesser of (A) $4 million or (B) 70.0% of the Eligible Accounts, and (b) as an agreement by the Bank to extend the forbearance from exercising its rights and remedies with respect to the default of the Company through December 10, 2006 for failure to comply with certain financial covenants under the Amended Agreement at September 30, 2006.

Subject to certain borrowing base limitations and compliance with covenants, the Fourth Modification Agreement served to amend the Loan Agreement by changing the amount the Company may borrow on a revolving basis from (i) up to the lesser of (A) $4 million or (B) 70.0% of the Eligible Accounts (as such term is defined in the Loan Agreement) to (ii) up to the lesser of (A) $2.5 million or (B) 80.0% of the Eligible Accounts (as such term is defined in the Loan Agreement). The Fourth Modification Agreement also extended the maturity date of the Loan Agreement from February 15, 2007 to April 1, 2008. In addition, the Fourth Modification Agreement deleted the existing financial covenants contained in the Loan Agreement and added two new financial covenants: (i) a covenant requiring the Company to maintain a Tangible Net Worth (as defined in the Fourth Modification Agreement) of at least (A) $1.7 million as of the months ended J anuary 31, 2007, February 28, 2007 and March 31, 2007, (B) $0.6 million as of the months ended April 30, 2007, May 31, 2007 and June 30, 2007, (C) ($150,000) as of the months ended July 31, 2007, August 31, 2007 and September 30, 2007, and (D) $1.00 as of the month ended October 31, 2007 and as of the last day of each month thereafter and (ii) a covenant requiring the Company to maintain Liquidity (representing the amount of unrestricted cash of the Company at the Bank plus the unused availability under the Loan Agreement) at all times of at least $1 million. The Bank also waived the Company’s existing defaults under the Loan Agreement based on certain failures to meet prior financial covenants during the year ended December 31, 2006.

For each month of 2007 the Company was in compliance with its liquidity covenant but was not in compliance with its minimum tangible net worth covenant of $1.7 million for the months ended February 28 and March 31, 2007. Tangible net worth as of March 31, 2007 was $1.2 million. On May 15, 2007, the Bank waived such violations and agreed to forbear until June 15, 2007 from exercising its rights and remedies with respect to the default of the Company for failure to comply with the tangible net worth covenant.

Table of Contents

On July 18, 2007, the Company entered into a Second Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement with the Bank to amend and supplement the Loan Agreement (as amended, the ‘‘Second Amended Agreement’’). 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 as long as the Company’s liquidity ratio (as described in the Second Amended Agreement) is above 1.30:1.00. Should the liquidity ratio 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 of one percent (0.25%) of the average monthly financed receivable balance. The Company 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 the Company. The maturity date of the loan is April 1, 2008. As described in greater detail in the Second Amended Agreement, the loan is subject to acceleration upon breach of: (i) a covenant tested quarterly requiring the Company’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.

For the months ended August 31, 2007 and September 30, 2007, the Company’s liquidity ratio was below 1.30:1.00. This increased the interest rate to prime rate plus three quarters of one percent (0.75%) in addition to a monthly collateral handling fee of one quarter of one percent (0.25%) of the average monthly financed receivable balance. For the months ended August 31, 2007 and September 30, 2007, the Company had no borrowings and therefore paid no more than the minimum required interest of 10% of the net facility usage. For the quarter ended September 30, 2007, the Company was not in compliance with the quarterly net loss of $2.8 million. Effective November 16, 2007 the bank waived such violation and adjusted the net loss covenant to become a monthly net loss covenant not to exceed a rolling three month net loss, included a minimum license revenue amount for the fourth quarter of 2007, and increased the i nterest rate. The interest rate is now prime rate plus one and one-quarter of one percent (1.25%) in addition to a monthly collateral handling fee of one quarter of one percent (0.25%) of the average monthly financed receivable balance. If the Company’s liquidity ratio (as described in the Second Amended Agreement) is above 1.30:1.00, the interest rate decreases to prime rate plus three-quarters of one percent (.75%). As of September 30, 2007 and November 13, 2007, the Company had no outstanding borrowings with the bank.

Secured Convertible Note Financing

On May 29, 2007, the Company entered into a Convertible Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement (the ‘‘Purchase Agreement’’) pursuant to which it sold and issued an aggregate of $5 million of convertible notes consisting of (i) $2.5 million of Series A 6% Secured Convertible Promissory Notes due May 29, 2009 and (ii) $2.5 million of Series B 6% Secured Convertible Promissory Notes due May 29, 2009, together with warrants to purchase an aggregate of 2 million shares of common stock of AXS-One. Net proceeds to AXS-One after transaction expenses were approximately $4.9 million. The notes and warrants were sold in a private placement under Rule 506 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, to three accredited investors.

Change in Stock Listing

On October 16, 2007, the board of directors of the Company approved the voluntary removal of the Company’s common stock listing from the American Stock Exchange which was effective following the close of the market on November 5, 2007. The Company shares began to trade on the OTC Bulletin Board beginning on November 6, 2007 under the symbol AXSO.

Liquidity and Cash Flow

Our operating activities used cash of $9.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and $12.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. Net cash used in operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 is primarily the result of the net loss from continuing operations and an increase in other assets, offset slightly by decreased accounts receivable, decreased prepaid expenses and other current assets, non-cash interest expense, depreciation and non-cash stock compensation expense.

Our investing activities used $0.1 million and $0.2 million of cash for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The use of cash in each year was primarily for the purchase of computer equipment for the Company’s internal operations.

Cash provided by financing activities was $5.0 million and 2.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, cash was provided by the issuance of convertible debt, described in more detail above, and the exercise of stock options during the period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, cash was provided by borrowings on bank debt and the exercise of stock options during the period offset slightly by debt issuance cost.

Cash used by discontinued operations was $1.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. Cash provided by discontinued operations was $9.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, cash used related to payment of cash to Computron Software, LLC related to collection of their accounts receivable received by us and required to be returned to Computron Software, LLC. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, cash was provided by net income from discontinued operations and by the change in net assets held for sale.

We have no significant capital commitments. Planned capital expenditures for the year 2007 are expected to be less than $0.5 million. Our aggregate minimum operating lease payments for 2007 will be approximately $1.2 million. We have $50,000 of remaining aggregate minimum royalties payable to third party software providers in accordance with 2007 agreements for third party software used in conjunction with our software. Future commitments to third party software providers are as follows:

AXS-One incurred a loss from continuing operations of $19.6 million, $15.1 million and $2.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The net loss for the first nine months of 2007 was $10.9 million. We have not yet been able to obtain operating profitability from continuing operations and may not be able to be profitable on a quarterly or annual basis in the future. Management’s initiatives over the last three years, including the restructurings in December 2006, June 2005 and June 2004, the private placements of common stock in June 2005 and April 2004, the executive management salary reductions for most of the second half of 2005 and for all of 2007, the sale of the Enterprise Solutions business, securing additional debt financing of $3.75 million in November 2007 and $5.0 million in May 2007, and the revised Silicon Valley Bank financing have been designed to improve operating results and liquidity and better position AXS-One to compete under current market conditions. However, we will in the future be required to seek new sources of financing or future accommodations from our existing lender or other financial institutions, or we may seek equity infusions from private investors. Our ability to fund our operations is heavily dependent on the growth of our revenues over current levels to achieve profitable operations, particularly given the recent sale of the Enterprise Solutions business, which historically was our profitable segment. We may also be required to further reduce operating costs in order to meet our obligations if deemed necessary. If we are unable to achieve profitable operations or secure additional sources of capital, there would be substantial doubt about our ability to fund future operations. No assurance can be given that management’s initiatives will be successful or that any such additional sources of financing, lender accommodations or equity infusions will be available.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Our critical accounting policy is revenue recognition.

Revenue Recognition

Table of Contents

of maintenance is determined by using a consistent percentage of maintenance fee to license fee based on renewal rates. Maintenance fees in subsequent years are recognized on a straight-line basis over the life of the applicable agreement. Maintenance contracts entitle the customer to hot-line support and all unspecified product upgrades released during the term of the maintenance contract. Upgrades include any and all unspecified patches or releases related to a licensed software product. Maintenance does not include implementation services to install these upgrades. The VSOE of services is determined by using an average consulting rate per hour for consulting services sold separately multiplied by the estimate of hours required to complete the consulting engagement.

The majority of our training and consulting services are billed based on hourly rates. The Company generally recognizes revenue as these services are performed. However, when there is an arrangement that is based on a fixed fee or requires significant work either to alter the underlying software or to build additional complex interfaces so that the software performs as the customer requests, the Company recognizes the related revenue using the percentage of completion method of accounting. This would apply to our custom programming services, which are generally contracted on a fixed fee basis. Anticipated losses, if any, are charged to operations in the period such losses are determined to be probable.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In July 2006, the FASB issued FIN 48 ‘‘Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes’’. This interpretation requires that we recognize in our financial statements the impact of a tax position, if that position is more likely than not of being sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the position. The provisions of FIN 48 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48 (‘‘FIN 48’’) ‘‘Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes’’, on January 1, 2007. The adoption of FIN 48 had no impact on the Company’s financial position and statement of operations. As of September 30, 2007, there were no or insignificant unrecognized tax benefits. As of January 1, 2007, the Company is subject to income tax examinations for its U.S. federal income taxes for the fiscal years 2005 and 2006 and for non-U.S. income taxes for the tax years 1999 through 2006.

Table of Contents

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 157 ‘‘Fair Value Measurements’’, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP, and expands disclosure about fair value measurement. FASB Statement No. 157 applies to other accounting pronouncements that require fair value measurements or permit fair value measurements. The new guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currently evaluating the potential impact, if any, of the adoption of FASB Statement No. 157 on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Certain Factors That May Affect Future Results and Financial Condition and the Market Price of Securities

See our 2006 Annual Report on Form 10K for a detailed discussion of risk factors.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

In the normal course of business, we are exposed to fluctuations in interest rates and equity market risks as we seek debt and equity capital to sustain our operations. We are also exposed to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates as the financial results and financial conditions of our foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars in consolidation. We do not use derivative instruments or hedging to manage our exposures and do not currently hold any market risk sensitive instruments for trading purposes.

Item 4T. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure based on the definition of ‘‘disclosure controls and procedures’’ in Rule 13a-15(e). 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 only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relat ionship of possible controls and procedures.

The Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2007. Based upon the foregoing, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2007.

Internal controls over financial reporting

There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2007 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
