If you are considering participation in our option exchange program through our Offer to Exchange dated February 1, 2008, please review the following information together with the Supplement to Offer to Exchange dated February 11, 2008 being provided together with this letter.
The Supplement contains important information regarding AXS-One and the option exchange offer, including (1) certain summary financial information of AXS-One Inc., (2) a new Section 6 (“Conditions to Offer”) containing a more limited set of conditions under with the offer may be terminated, and (3) additional information regarding participation in the offering by our executive officers. This information, which supplements and revises information in the Offer to Exchange dated February 1, 2008, may be relevant to your decision on whether to participate in the option exchange.
In addition, you may have noted that the Letter of Transmittal in connection with the Offer to Exchange says that you have read and understood the terms of the offer to exchange. You are not actually required to read and understand all of the terms of the offer in order to participate in the offer, and we will give no effect to language in any Letter of Transmittal that represents that you have read and understood the terms of the offer. Of course, it is still necessary to follow the procedures described in the offer, and we continue to recommend that you carefully read all materials you receive in connection with the offer.
Furthermore, we wish to confirm and advise you that all conditions to the offer, other than those subject to applicable law, must be satisfied or waived before the expiration of the offer. Please note that revised Section 6 contained in the Supplement contains revised information regarding the conditions to the offer.
Finally, the Offer to Exchange refers in Section 17 to forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act. We wish to clarify that the safe harbor provided in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 does not apply to statements made in connection with this offer.
If you have any questions about the offer, please call Joseph Dwyer at (201) 935-3400.

_______________
The offer and withdrawal rights expire
at 5:00 p.m., New York time, on March 3, 2008
unless the offer is extended.
_______________
As specifically noted, this Supplement is provided to revise and supplement some of the information provided in the Offer to Exchange dated February 1, 2008.
A. The Offer to Exchange section entitled “The Offer – 6. Conditions of the Offer” is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
6. Conditions of the Offer.
Notwithstanding any other provision of the offer, we will not be required to accept any options tendered for exchange, and we may terminate or amend the offer, or postpone our acceptance and cancellation of any options tendered for exchange (in each case, subject to Rule 13e-4(f)(5) under the Securities Exchange Act), if, at any time on or after February 1, 2008 and prior to the expiration date, any of the following events has occurred, and the occurrence of such event or events makes it inadvisable, in our reasonable judgment, for us to proceed with the offer or with the acceptance and cancellation of options tendered for exchange:
(a) there shall have been instituted or be pending any action or proceeding by or before any government or governmental, regulatory or administrative agency, authority or tribunal that challenges the making of the offer, the acquisition of some or all of the tendered options pursuant to the offer or the issuance of new options;
(b) there shall have been any action taken or pending, or approval withheld, or any statute, rule, regulation, judgment, order or injunction sought, promulgated, enacted, entered, amended, enforced or applicable to the offer or us or any of our subsidiaries, by or before any court or any authority, agency or tribunal that would:
(1) make the acceptance for exchange of, or issuance of new options for, some or all of the tendered options illegal or otherwise restrict or prohibit consummation of the offer;
(2) delay or restrict our ability, or render us unable, to accept for exchange, or issue new options for, some or all of the tendered options; or
(3) materially impair the contemplated benefits of the offer to us;
(c) there shall have occurred:
(1) any general suspension of trading in, or limitation on prices for, securities on any national securities exchange or in the over-the-counter market;
(2) the declaration of a banking moratorium or any suspension of payments in respect of banks in the United States, whether or not mandatory;
(3) the commencement of a war, armed hostilities or other international or national crisis involving the United States;
(4) any limitation, whether or not mandatory, by any governmental, regulatory or administrative agency or authority on the extension of credit by banks or other lending institutions in the United States; or
(5) in the case of any of the foregoing existing at the time of the commencement of the offer, a material acceleration or worsening thereof;
(d) a tender or exchange offer with respect to some or all of our capital stock, or a merger or acquisition proposal for our company, shall have been proposed, announced or made by another person or entity or shall have been publicly disclosed.
The conditions to the offer are for our benefit. We may assert them prior to the expiration date. We may waive them, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time prior to the expiration date, in our discretion, whether or not we waive any other condition to the offer. Our failure at any time to exercise any of these rights will not be deemed a waiver of any such rights. The waiver of any of these rights with respect to particular facts and circumstances will not be deemed a waiver with respect to any other facts and circumstances. Any determination we make concerning the events described in this Section 6 will be final and binding upon all persons.
B. The following information is added to the Offer to Exchange section entitled “The Offer – 10. Interests of Directors and Officers; Transactions and Arrangements Concerning the Options”:
10. Interests of Directors and Officers; Transactions and Arrangements Concerning the Options.
We currently have three executive officers. William P. Lyons, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer holds options to purchase 900,000 shares of AXS-One common stock (23.5% of our outstanding stock options). However, Mr. Lyons is a member of our Board of Directors and is therefore not eligible to participate in this offer. Mr. Joseph Dwyer, our Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer holds options to purchase 300,000 shares of AXS-One common stock (7.9% of our outstanding stock options). Mr. Philip Rugani, our Executive Vice President – Field Operations does not hold any options to purchase AXS-One common stock.
Certain of our non-employee directors hold options to purchase AXS-One common stock (Anthony Bloom – 50,000 shares (1.3% of our outstanding stock options); Daniel Burch – 120,000 shares
-2-
(3.1% of our outstanding stock options); Harold Copperman – 50,000 shares (1.3% of our outstanding stock options); Robert Migliorino – 153,000 shares (4.0% of our outstanding stock options); Allan Weingarten – 110,000 shares (2.9% of our outstanding stock options)). However, they are not employees and are therefore not eligible to participate in the offer.
C. The following Summary Financial Information of AXS-One is hereby provided, except that ratio of earnings to fixed charges is omitted since the company did not have net income from continuing operations during the applicable periods:
