RUTHERFORD, N.J., April 14, 2009 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- AXSO | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- AXS-One Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: AXSO), a leading provider of high performance Records Compliance Management (RCM) software, today announced its financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2008.

For the year ended December 31, 2008, total revenue was $13.4 million, up 12%, compared with total revenues of $11.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2007. License revenue was $4.3 million, up 6%, or $0.2 million, from the $4.1 million in license revenue for 2007. Total operating expenses were $21.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2008, a decrease of 20% percent from $26.1 million in the prior year. The net loss for the year ended December 31, 2008 was $10.1 million, or $(0.27) per diluted share compared to a net loss of $14.9 million, or $(0.42) per diluted share for the prior year.

Total revenues for the fourth quarter of 2008 were $2.5 million, a decrease of $0.8 million or 24% from the fourth quarter 2007 revenues of $3.2 million. License revenue for the fourth quarter was $0.2 million, a decrease of 85% compared to $1.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2007. Service revenue for the fourth quarter was $2.3 million, an increase of $0.3 million or 12% from the fourth quarter of 2007. Total operating expenses for the fourth quarter were $4.9 million, a decrease of 28% percent compared to $6.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2007. The operating loss for the fourth quarter of 2008 was $2.4 million, a $1.1 million or 31% improvement from the fourth quarter 2007 operating loss of $3.5 million. The Company reported a net loss of $3.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2008, or $(0.09) per diluted share compared to a net loss of $4.1 million in the fourth quarter of last year, or $(0.11) per diluted share.

Bill Lyons, Chairman & CEO of AXS-One, commented, "The positive trend in revenue growth we saw in all aspects of our business during the first three quarters of 2008 reversed in the fourth quarter as the global economy collapsed. In a matter of weeks, expected orders were cancelled or put on hold. However, while our fourth quarter license revenues were lower than expected, our revenues for 2008 increased by 12%. Faced with growing downturn in the economy, we have adjusted our business model to reduce costs in line with expected business opportunities for 2009. We took aggressive action and adjusted our cost structure such that we can achieve profitable operations at a much lower level of license revenue than we reported in 2008. Despite an extremely challenging economic climate, we continue to see demand for our products from prospects and partners. We are confident that we will see continued improvement in our profitability during 2009."
