AXCESS INTERNATIONAL INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
     (a) Description of Business and Going Concern
     The Company is a provider of patented Radio Frequency Identification (“RFID”) and Real Time Location Systems (“RTLS”) solutions that locate, track, monitor, count and protect people, assets, and vehicles, thereby improving productivity, security and access to real-time intelligence. The Company’s multiuse, single-system solutions include active, dual and semi-active RFID tags, activators and readers that support automatic monitoring and tracking applications, such as electronic asset protection and asset management, and automatic personnel and vehicle access control. Axcess’ web-based software provides a suite of management tools that include reporting, display, decision and control functions that enable productivity, security and local positioning.
     Our auditors included an explanatory paragraph in their audit opinion with respect to our consolidated financial statements at December 31, 2007. The paragraph states that our recurring losses from operations and resulting continued dependence on access to external financing raise substantial doubts about our ability to continue as a going concern. Furthermore, the factors leading to and the existence of the explanatory paragraph may adversely affect our relationship with customers and suppliers and have an adverse effect on our ability to obtain financing.
     We do not have sufficient working capital to sustain our operations. We have been unable to generate sufficient revenues to sustain our operations. We will have to obtain funds to meet our cash requirements through business alliances, such as strategic or financial transactions with third parties, the sale of securities or other financing arrangements, or we may be required to curtail our operations, seek a merger partner, or seek protection under federal bankruptcy laws. Any of the foregoing may be on terms that are unfavorable to us or disadvantageous to existing stockholders. In addition, no assurance may be given that we will be successful in raising additional funds or entering into business alliances.
     The Company’s business plan for 2008 is predicated principally upon the successful marketing of its RFID. During the first nine months of 2008, operating activities utilized approximately $2.0 million of cash. The Company anticipates that its existing working capital resources and revenues from operations will not be adequate to satisfy its funding requirements in 2008. We are currently experiencing declining liquidity, losses from operations and negative cash flows, which make it difficult for us to meet our current cash requirements, including payments to vendors, and may jeopardize our ability to continue as a going concern. Management is attempting to obtain equity financing for use in the Company’s operations. In addition, management is trying to expand the Company’s sales and obtain profitable operations.
     The future results of operations and financial condition of the Company will be impacted by the following factors, among others: changes from anticipated levels of sales, access to capital, future national or regional economic and competitive conditions, changes in relationships with customers, difficulties in developing and marketing new products, marketing existing products, customer acceptance of existing and new products, validity of patents, technological change, dependence on key personnel, availability of key component parts, dependence on third party manufacturers, vendors, contractors, product liability, casualty to or other disruption of the production facilities, delays and disruptions in the shipment of the Company’s products, and the ability of the Company to meet its stated business goals.
     If the Company’s losses or lack of operating capital continue, the Company will have to obtain funds to meet its cash requirements through business alliances, such as strategic or financial transactions with third parties, the sale of securities or other financing arrangements, or the Company may be required to curtail its operations, seek a merger partner, or seek protection under federal bankruptcy laws. Any of the foregoing may be on terms that are unfavorable to the Company or disadvantageous to existing stockholders. In addition, no assurance may be given that the Company will be successful in raising additional funds or entering into business alliances.
     (b) Company Organization
     The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its majority-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
     The Company has received working capital in various forms from Amphion Ventures, L. P. and affiliates of Amphion Ventures, L. P. including Amphion Partners, Amphion Investments LLC, Antiope Partners LLC, VennWorks LLC (formerly incuVest LLC), Amphion Capital Management LLC, Amphion Innovations plc,

Amphion Innovations US Inc. and NVW, LLC (collectively, the “Amphion Group”). The Amphion Group owns approximately 56% of the outstanding voting common stock of the Company.
     (c) Basis of presentation
     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that effect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. As discussed below, the Company makes significant assumptions in recording its allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory valuation, impairment of long-lived assets, warranty costs, the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, the value of components of equity and debt instruments and stock based compensation expense. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and the differences may be significant.
     The accompanying unaudited financial statements as of September 30, 2008 and for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for audited financial statements. In the opinion of management, the interim information includes all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods. The footnote disclosures related to the interim financial information included herein are also unaudited. Such financial information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto as of December 31, 2007 and for the year then ended included in our annual report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007.
     (d) Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
     Our most critical accounting policies, which are those that require significant judgment, include: allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory valuation, warranty costs, the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, the value of components of equity and debt instruments and stock based compensation expense. In-depth descriptions of these can be found in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 (the “2007 Form 10-KSB”). There have been no material changes in our existing accounting policies from the disclosures included in our 2007 Form 10-KSB.
     (e) Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes
     On January 1, 2007, we adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statements No. 109” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes by prescribing a two-step method of first evaluating whether a tax position has met a more likely than not recognition threshold and second, measuring that tax position to determine the amount of benefit to be recognized in the financial statements. FIN 48 provides guidance on the presentation of such positions within a classified statement of financial position as well as on derecognition, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition.
     As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, we recognized no change in our recorded assets or liabilities for unrecognized income tax benefits. Based on our analysis of all material tax positions taken, management believes the technical merits of these positions are justified and expects that the full amount of the deductions taken and associated tax benefits will be allowed.
     FIN 48 requires the evaluation of a tax position as a two-step process. We must determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. If the tax position meets the “more likely than not” recognition threshold, then the tax benefit is measured and recorded at the largest amount that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The re-assessment of our tax positions in accordance with FIN 48 did not result in any material change to our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
     We have also assessed the classification of interest and penalties, if any, related to income tax matters. Pursuant to the application of FIN 48, we have made an accounting election to treat interest and penalties related to income tax matters, if any, as a component of income tax expense rather than other operating expenses.
     (f) Inventory
     Inventory is valued at the lower of cost or market using the first-in, first-out method. Inventory was comprised of the following:

     The Company recorded a charge of $8,419 for inventory impairment during the year ended December 31, 2007. The amounts reflect items that have not been able to be used by the Company’s contract manufacturers in the building of additional products. The impairment charges were as a result of the change in strategy to contract manufacturing and the reduction of sales of video products.
     The components of cost of sales are summarized as follows:

     (g) Stock-Based Compensation
     Beginning January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123R”), using the modified prospective transition method. In addition, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 “Share-Based Payment” (SAB 107”) in March 2005, which provides supplemental SFAS 123R application guidance based in the views of the SEC. Under the modified prospective transition method, compensation cost recognized in the twelve months ended December 31, 2006 includes: (a) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted prior to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS No. 123, and (b) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted beginning January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123R. In accordance with the modified prospective transition method, results for prior periods have not been restated.
     Stock based compensation expense under SFAS 123R for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 was $547,655 and $485,243, respectively which was recorded in operating expenses. This expense increased net loss per share by $0.018 and $0.017 for 2008 and 2007, respectively. The Company did not recognize a tax benefit from the stock compensation expense because the Company considers it is more likely than not the related deferred tax assets, which have been reduced by a full valuation allowance, will not be realized.
     The Black-Scholes option-pricing model was used to estimate the option fair value. The option pricing model requires a number of assumptions, of which the most significant are, expected stock price volatility, risk-free interest rate and the expected option term (the amount of time from the grant date until the options are exercised or expire). Expected volatility was calculated based upon actual historical stock price movements over the most recent periods at the time of the grants equal to the expected option term.

     (i) Revenue Recognition
     The Company’s revenue transactions consist predominately of sales of products to customers. The Company follows the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 104 Revenue Recognition and Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue 00-21 Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables. Specifically, the Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, title and risk of loss have passed to the customer, generally upon shipment, the price is fixed or determinable and collect ability is reasonably assured. For those arrangements with multiple elements, or in related arrangements with the same customer, the arrangement is divided into separate units of accounting if certain criteria are met, including whether the delivered item has stand-alone value to the customer and whether there is objective and reliable evidence of the fair value of the undelivered items. The consideration received is allocated among the separate units of accounting based on their respective fair values, and the applicable revenue recognition criteria are applied to each of the separate units. In cases where there is objective and reliable evidence of the fair value of the undelivered item in an arrangement but no such evidence for the delivered item, the residual method is used to allocate the arrangement consideration. For units of accounting which include more than one deliverable, the Company generally recognizes all revenue and cost of revenue for the unit of accounting over the period in which the last undelivered item is delivered.
     At the time revenue is recognized, the Company establishes an accrual for estimated warranty expenses associated with sales, recorded as a component of cost of revenues. The Company’s customers and distributors generally do not have return rights.
     We defer revenue for sales where we have not completed the earnings process in accordance with the applicable revenue recognition guidance. These deferred amounts are reflected as liabilities in our consolidated financial statements as deferred revenue. Deferred revenue was $25,710 as of September 30, 2008 and $42,060 as of December 31, 2007.
(2) Contingencies
     Axcess is engaged in a number of lawsuits with approximately five vendors who claim they are owed amounts from $500 to $45,000, which aggregates in total $76,326. We are currently defending or seeking to settle each of the vendor’s claims. At September 30, 2008, we had accrued the delinquent amounts we expect to be liable for, based on the claims described in this paragraph.
(3) Preferred Stock
     The Company has authorized 10,000,000 shares of convertible preferred stock, of which shares designated in three series are currently outstanding. Information with respect to the series of preferred stock outstanding at each balance sheet date is summarized below.

If the loans are not repaid or converted prior to their maturity date then Axcess shall issue to Amphion a warrant to purchase Axcess Common Shares at the closing price on the given date equivalent to ten percent (10%) of the outstanding amount (i.e. amount outstanding divided by closing stock price times 10%). If the amount is not repaid or converted prior to the next thirty days then Axcess will issue another warrant equal to an additional 10% and that will continue every thirty (30) days until Axcess has issued five warrants. As of September 30, 2008 the outstanding principal balance on all of the outstanding notes is $795,273 and the Company has issued 393,518 warrants with strike prices that range from $0.75 to $1.42 with a weighted average of $1.11 during the nine months ended September 30, 2008. The notes and balances as of September 30, 2008 are:

     As previously discussed, for all notes executed and detailed above, Amphion Innovations has the option to convert the notes payable under the same terms as a completed preferred offering occurring within a specified time period (generally 30 — 45 days subsequent to the execution date). Therefore, consideration was given to the contingent beneficial conversion feature due to the trigger event that occurred on April 25, 2008 and September 1, 2008 upon completion of the 2008 series preferred equity offerings. For notes executed prior to March 14, 2008 and on July 30, 2008, the option period expired and are no longer considered convertible. For notes issued between March 15, 2008 and April 15, 2008 the conversion price of $1.00 exceeded the stock price of $0.88 on the date of

contingency resolution. There is no incremental increase of intrinsic value at the contingency resolution date and therefore there is no additional beneficial conversion discount to be recorded.
(5) Significant Customers
     During the three months ended September 30, 2008, the Company had three customers that accounted for 62% of revenue. During the three months ended September 30, 2007 the Company had three customers that accounted for 41% of revenue.
     During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Company had three customers that accounted for 49% of revenue. During the nine months ended September 30, 2007 the Company had one customer that accounted for 67% of revenue.
(6) Recent Accounting Pronouncements
     In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards “SFAS” No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”). This statement was effective as of the beginning of fiscal 2008. SFAS 157 provides a common fair value hierarchy for companies to follow in determining fair value measurements in the preparation of financial statements and expands disclosure requirements relating to how fair value measurements were developed. SFAS 157 clarifies the principle that fair value should be based on the assumptions that the marketplace would use when pricing an asset or liability, rather than company specific data. The adoption of SFAS 157 did not have a material impact on our results of operations and financial position.
     In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Liabilities, Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” (“SFAS 159”). This statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. SFAS 159 was effective as of the beginning of fiscal 2008 and had no impact on our results of operations and financial position.
     In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” SFAS No. 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and provides entities with a framework for selecting the principles used in preparation of financial statements that are presented inconformity with GAAP. The current GAAP hierarchy has been criticized because it is directed to the auditor rather than the entity, it is complex, and it ranks FASB Statements of Financial Accounting Concepts, which are subject to the same level of due process as FASB Statements of Financial Accounting Standards, below industry practices that are widely recognized as generally accepted but that are not subject to due process. The Board believes the GAAP hierarchy should be directed to entities because it is the entity (not its auditors) that is responsible for selecting accounting principles for financial statements that are presented in conformity with GAAP. The adoption of FASB 162 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.
(7) Subsequent Event
     On October 9, 2008 the Company raised an additional $100,000 of additional working capital through an exempt Preferred Stock offering under the Securities Act of 1933 Section 4(6) private offering of preferred stock to accredited and institutional investors. The Preferred Stock is designated as 2008B Preferred and consists of 13 and 1/3 shares of Preferred Stock bearing no dividends. However, the shares are convertible into common stock on a ten thousand (10,000) to one basis. In addition, the Company issued 66,667 warrants to purchase the Company’s common stock exercisable for five years at $1.50 per share. Each warrant will be callable by the Company if and when the Company’s common stock share price exceeds $3.00 per share for at least twenty (20) consecutive trading days. The Company will use the proceeds for general working capital.
     The company has also entered into an additional loan with Amphion Innovations plc. totaling $100,000 leaving an outstanding balance of $895,273.

Recent Developments: Going Concern and Liquidity Problems
     Our auditors included an explanatory paragraph in their audit opinion with respect to our consolidated financial statements at December 31, 2007. The paragraph states that our recurring losses from operations and resulting continued dependence on access to external financing raise substantial doubts about our ability to continue as a going concern. Furthermore, the factors leading to and the existence of the explanatory paragraph may adversely affect our relationship with customers and suppliers and have an adverse effect on our ability to obtain financing.
     We do not have sufficient working capital to sustain our operations. We have been unable to generate sufficient revenues to sustain our operations. We will have to obtain funds to meet our cash requirements through business alliances, such as strategic or financial transactions with third parties, the sale of securities or other financing arrangements, or we may be required to curtail our operations, seek a merger partner, or seek protection under federal bankruptcy laws. Any of the foregoing may be on terms that are unfavorable to us or disadvantageous to existing stockholders. In addition, no assurance may be given that we will be successful in raising additional funds or entering into business alliances.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
     Since inception, we have utilized the proceeds from a number of public and private sales of our equity securities, the exercise of options, convertible debt, short-term bridge loans from stockholders and more recently, preferred equity offerings and exercise of warrants, to meet our working capital requirements. At September 30, 2008, we had working capital deficit of $2,908,125.
     Our operations generated losses in 2008. Our cash increased $164,337 during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 with operating activities using $1,978,764 of cash. We funded operations through cash raised from contingently convertible debt and a preferred equity offering. No assurance can be given that such activities will continue to be available to provide funding to us. Our business plan for 2008 is predicated principally upon the successful marketing of our RFID products. We anticipate that our existing working capital resources and revenues from operations will not be adequate to satisfy our funding requirements throughout 2008.
     Our working capital requirements will depend upon many factors, including the extent and timing of our product sales, our operating results, the status of competitive products, and actual expenditures and revenues compared to our business plan. We are currently experiencing declining liquidity, losses from operations and negative cash flows, which make it difficult for us to meet our current cash requirements, including payments to vendors, and may jeopardize our ability to continue as a going concern. We intend to address our liquidity problems by controlling costs, seeking additional funding (through capital raising transactions and business alliances) and

14


Table of Contents

maintaining focus on revenues and collections.
     If our losses continue, we will have to obtain funds to meet our cash requirements through business alliances, such as strategic or financial transactions with third parties, the sale of securities or other financing arrangements, or we may be required to curtail our operations, seek a merger partner, or seek protection under federal bankruptcy laws. Any of the foregoing may be on terms that are unfavorable to us or disadvantageous to existing stockholders. We have no current conclusions as to whether the current financial crisis will have a detrimental effect on our ability to raise capital or secure additional financing however it is likely that obtaining debt or equity financing will be more difficult for the foreseeable future. In addition, no assurance may be given that we will be successful in raising additional funds or entering into business alliances.
Amphion Convertible Note
     On December 17, 2007 and through September 30, 2008, Axcess has entered into multiple convertible notes with Amphion Innovations plc. If Axcess completes an offering of any of its securities and the aggregate proceeds to Axcess are at least $1,000,000 (“Transaction”) then Amphion would have had the option to convert these notes on the same terms as the completed offering. If the loans are not repaid or converted prior to their maturity date then Axcess shall issue to Amphion a warrant to purchase Axcess Common Shares at the closing price on the given date equivalent to ten percent (10%) of the outstanding amount (i.e. amount outstanding divided by closing stock price times 10%). If the amount is not repaid or converted prior to the next thirty days then Axcess will issue another warrant equal to an additional 10% and that will continue every thirty (30) days until Axcess has issued five warrants. As of September 30, 2008 the outstanding principal balance on all of the outstanding notes is $795,273 and the Company has issued 393,518 warrants with strike prices that range from $0.75 to $1.42 with a weighted average of $1.11 during the nine months ended September 30, 2008. The notes and balances as of September 30, 2008 are:

     As previously discussed, for all notes executed and detailed above, Amphion Innovations has the option to convert the notes payable under the same terms as a completed preferred offering occurring within a specified time period (generally 30 — 45 days subsequent to the execution date). Therefore, consideration was given to the contingent beneficial conversion feature due to the trigger event that occurred on April 25, 2008 and September 1, 2008 upon completion of the 2008 series preferred equity offerings. For notes executed prior to March 14, 2008 and on July 30, 2008, the option period expired and are no longer considered convertible. For notes issued between March 15, 2008 and April 15, 2008, the conversion price of $1.00 exceeded the stock price of $0.88 on the date of contingency resolution. There is no incremental increase of intrinsic value at the contingency resolution date and therefore there is no additional beneficial conversion discount to be recorded.
Sales and Marketing Initiatives
     In the past our sales volume has not been sufficient to sustain our operations. During 2007, we continued to see broad-based awareness and acceptance of RFID on a world-wide basis. Our approach for 2008 has been:
  1.   We continue to focus on replicating our past success;
 
  2.   We continue to add integrators and partners to our sales channel;
 
  3.   We continue to improve our professional skill sets and resources to grow the business.

     While there can be no assurance that our efforts will be successful, we believe that these accomplishments will assist us in our goal of becoming profitable.
Results of Operations
Three Months Ended September 30, 2008 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2007
     Sales and Gross Profit. Sales for the three months ended September 30, 2008 were $511,190 and for the three months ended September 30, 2007 were $281,656. Cost of sales for the three months ended September 30, 2008 were $250,898 and for the three months ended September 30, 2007 were $136,871. The gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2008 was $260,292 and $144,785 for the three months ended September 30, 2007. The majority of the increase in sales is a result of the increased size of the deals that were completed during the quarter. The gross margin percent for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 was 51%. We continue to expect the margin will continue to be stable in the 40% to 50% range.
     Operating Expenses. Operating expenses were $1,112,811 for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and $1,139,629 for the three months ended September 30, 2007. The expenses are basically flat year over year.
     Research and development expenses were $451,274 for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and $397,074 for the three months ended September 30, 2007. The majority of the increase relates to an additional headcount.
     Corporate general and administrative expenses were $359,703 for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and $419,110 for the three months ended September 30, 2007. The decrease is related to a reduction in investor relations activity and lower stock based compensation, offset by higher legal expenses and costs associated with relocating our corporate offices.
     Selling and marketing expenses were $298,855 for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and $319,957 for the three months ended September 30, 2007. Selling and marketing expense were basically flat for the period compared to the previous year. We did have some increases in advertising and trade show expenses but were able to offset the increases with decreases in advertising and salary expenses.
     Depreciation and amortization expenses were $2,979 for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and $3,488 for the three months ended September 30, 2007. The decrease is a result of decreased depreciation expense as a result of the age of our equipment.
     Other expenses, net. Other expenses, net, were $100,296 for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and $81,545 for the three months ended September 30, 2007. Interest expense was $20,967 higher during the three months ended September 30, 2008, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2007, reflecting the expense associated with the warrants that were issued with the convertible notes.
     Net Loss. Net loss was $952,815 for the three months ended September 30, 2008, compared to a loss of $1,076,389 for the three months ended September 30, 2007. The decrease is mainly related to improved gross profit.
     Preferred Stock dividend requirements. Preferred Stock dividend requirements were $211,867 for three months ended September 30, 2008 and $2,129,728 for three months ended September 30, 2007. During 2008 we recorded $171,984 related to the 2008B Preferred equity offering. During 2007 we recorded $2,050,000 related to the 2007 preferred equity offering. Recurring preferred Stock dividend requirements were $39,883 and $79,728 in 2008 and 2007, respectively.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2008 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2007
     Sales and Gross Profit. Sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 were $1,175,022 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 were $2,963,437. Cost of sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 were $615,494 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 were $1,280,977. The gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was $559,528 and $1,682,460 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The majority of the decrease in sales is a result of the Barbados Contract awarded in January 2007. The gross margin percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was 48% compared to 57% for the same period in 2007. The lower gross margin percent was a result of the Barbados contract. We continue to expect the margin will continue to be stable in the 40% to 50% range.
     Operating Expenses. Operating expenses were $3,917,011 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and $5,212,543 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The majority of the decrease relates to the timing of the development of our next generation product, lower gross profit and increased selling expenses as a result of the Barbados contract.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Controls and Procedures
     The Company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer are responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures for the Company.
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
     Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and chief financial officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”), as of September 30, 2008. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and our chief financial officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective and not adequately designed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the applicable rules and forms and that such information was accumulated and communicated to our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, in a manner that allowed for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
   Based on our evaluation, management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of September 30, 2008. Management has determined that (i) we are unable to maintain the proper segregation of various accounting and finance duties because of our small size and limited resources, (ii) much of the

17


Table of Contents

financial closing process is done off-line on electronic spreadsheets that are maintained on individual computers and are not backed up and (iii) based on our staffing we rely on our Chief Financial Officer to provide a significant amount of our compensating controls.
     We intend to remediate these material weaknesses during 2008. Notwithstanding these material weaknesses, we believe that our financial conditions, results of operations and cash flows presented in this report of Form 10-Q are fairly presented in all material respects.
(b) Changes in Internal Controls
   During the period ended September 30, 2008, there has been no change in internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
     Axcess is engaged in a number of lawsuits with approximately five vendors who claim they are owed amounts from $500 to $45,000, which aggregates in total $76,326. We are currently defending or seeking to settle each of the vendor’s claims. At September 30, 2008, we had accrued the delinquent amounts we expect to be liable for, for the claims described in this paragraph.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
     Not required
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
     During the three months ended September 30, 2008, the Company issued unregistered securities in connection with the transactions described below. The proceeds were used for general working capital requirements. The issuance of stock was exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, as amended by virtue of Sections 4(2) and 4(6) thereof, as transactions not involving a public offering and accredited investors only and an appropriate restrictive legend was affixed to the stock certificates.
2008B Preferred Offering
     Beginning on September 30, 2008 the Company authorized the raising of $600,000 of additional working capital through an exempt Preferred Stock offering under the Securities Act of 1933 Section 4(6) private offering of preferred stock to accredited and institutional investors. The Preferred Stock is designated as 2008B Preferred and consists of 80 shares of Preferred Stock bearing no dividends. However, the shares are convertible into common stock on a ten thousand (10,000) to one basis. In addition, the Company issued 400,000 warrants to purchase the Company’s common stock exercisable for five years at $1.50 per share. Each warrant will be callable by the Company if and when the Company’s common stock share price exceeds $3.00 per share for at least twenty (20) consecutive trading days. The Company will use the proceeds for general working capital.
     As of September 30, 2008 the Company had 66 and 2/3 shares of Series 2008B Preferred shares outstanding.
