AXS-One Reports Fourth Consecutive Quarter of Profit For the Quarter Ending June 30, 2002; Quarter Saw Product Upgrade Activity and New Product Launches

RUTHERFORD, N.J., Jul 31, 2002 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- AXS-One Inc. (AMEX: AXO), a leading provider of e-business solutions, today announced total revenues of $9.4 million and $18.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002 compared to $9.9 million and $21.8 million for the corresponding periods last year.

The Company reported operating income, net income and diluted net income per share for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 of $0.5 million, $0.2 million, and $0.01 per share respectively, compared to an operating loss, net loss and diluted net loss per share of $(4.7) million, $(4.9) million, and $(0.20) per share respectively for the same period in 2001. In addition, for the six months ended June 30, 2002, the Company reported operating income, net income and diluted net income per share of $1.1 million, $0.6 million and $0.02 per share respectively, compared to an operating loss, net loss and diluted net loss per share of $(5.7) million, $(6.0) million, and $(0.24) per share respectively, for the same period in 2001. Included in losses for the three and six months of 2001 are restructuring and other costs of $1.1 million.

Revenues of the Central and Eastern Europe subsidiary sold in September 2001 which have been included in the Company's operating results through the date of sale were $0.6 million and $1.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001. Net losses for the sold subsidiaries were $(90) thousand and $(111) thousand for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001.

The second quarter results represented AXS-One's fourth consecutive quarter of profitability, which began with the third quarter of 2001 after the re-alignment of its business model in the second quarter of that year. The receptive response to the product upgrades and new product offerings helped drive revenue opportunities for this quarter.

"The fact that we can generate a profit in spite of the delay of several contract signings is a validation of our business model," commented AXS-One Chief Executive Officer John Rade. "I am especially pleased that beginning in the second quarter of 2002 consulting revenue is picking up compared to recent quarters, as more and more customers install our version 7.0 and license our new AXS-One Collaboration FrameWorks(TM) software. Equally, it is gratifying to see that we can, after considering the subsidiary sold, maintain total revenues versus same quarter last year and even show some first quarter to second quarter growth this year."

During the second quarter, AXS-One's clients continued to upgrade to the latest e-financial and business solutions, AXS-One(TM) Enterprise version 7.0. Additionally, a number of new products were launched, including AXSExcel, TransAXS(R) Financial Reporting and AXS Analytics. These new products provide clients with enhanced management information and control through information sharing and collaboration.

Rade added, "While economic conditions are tough and prospective buyers are very selective about what they do, our new AXS-One Collaboration FrameWorks solutions seem to resonate very well with customers' needs to manage their value/supply chains, preserve investment in existing technology and produce high ROI in days and weeks versus the months and years often experienced with our competitors."
