"While we saw an increase in deal closings during the second quarter, specifically with our partner Sun Microsystems, our reported results are below our expectations," commented Bill Lyons, chairman and CEO of AXS-One. "We continue to experience lengthy sales cycles which resulted in a number of deals that were anticipated to close being pushed out into subsequent quarters. However, recently released industry studies that highlight AXS-One's complete integrated platform solution validate our belief that our software is appropriately positioned within this growing and dynamic market. These factors, combined with improved execution on our sales pipeline, should allow us to grow revenues and continue our progress toward a return to profitability."
