Axis Technologies Group, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: AXTG), a green
technology designer, manufacturer and marketer of a proprietary
line of energy-saving, daylight harvesting, electronic dimming
ballasts for the commercial lighting industry, released a Letter to
Shareholders today:
Dear fellow shareholders:
Axis management filed an 8-K on Friday which details the
termination of a financing agreement entered into by Axis with
DHAB, LLC which had the intent to obtain financing for working
capital and paying off a Senior Secured Convertible Note with
Gemini Strategies, LLC. The agreement set forth a deadline date for
the financing of July 1, 2010. In connection with this agreement
dated April 22, 2010, the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary,
Axis Technologies, Inc., had entered into an Amendment Agreement
with Gemini Strategies, LLC and Gemini Master Fund, Ltd. which
provided an extension of the maturity date of the outstanding
Convertible Note to July 1, 2010.
Obviously, this deadline date was not met and has necessitated
the Company to terminate the current agreement with DHAB, LLC. In
the meantime, Gemini has notified the Company of a Disposition of
Collateral to exercise their rights under the terms of the Senior
Secured Convertible Note. However, the Company is in close contact
with Gemini and is working in tandem with Gemini management to
assist Axis in curing the default, including working with major
shareholders of the Company and pursuing alternative financing. One
of the terms of the original agreement with DHAB precluded the
Company to "shop around" for other financing alternatives, however,
the Company has already identified interested potential financing
sources just in case the DHAB agreement did not result in a
closing.
Management is confident that the Company can cure the default
with Gemini in the near future and obtain the working capital to
build the inventory necessary to fulfill orders already on
backorder. We have not been idle during the past few months.
Although working to complete the financing was a major investment
in time and effort, the Company has continued to identify future
potential business with both major distributors and end users. The
major hurdle has been the need to pay off Gemini and having the
working capital to capitalize on the business that we know is out
there.
We know that Axis Technologies offers clients the least
expensive, easiest to install daylight harvesting ballast available
today. And the "lowest hanging fruit" for maximizing energy
efficiency in building with windows and skylights is the
retrofitting of already installed fluorescent lighting fixtures.
Axis Technologies' addressable ballast will be the next generation
product for companies and utilities that have a focus on managing
peak load demand. But the lack of capital has delayed our market
launch for a few months. We are excited about the prospects for
this new technology and are confident that, once we complete a
capital raise, shareholders will enjoy much more frequent news from
their Company.
We understand shareholders' frustration and appreciate
everyone's patience -- the same frustration and need for patience
that management has had to endure recently. Although, upon initial
inspection, this news of further delays in financing is not
welcome, the next step in obtaining the necessary capital from
other sources can now be taken. Again, we already are in
discussions with those interested alternative sources and we remain
open to a quick close with DHAB, LLC with different terms should
they finally have the capital raised to move forward.
Signed,
Jim Erickson President of Axis Technologies, Inc.

About Axis Technologies Group, Inc.
(www.axistechnologyinc.com)
Axis Technologies Group, Inc., through its wholly owned
subsidiary, Axis Technologies, Inc., designs, manufactures and
markets a proprietary line of energy-saving and daylight harvesting
electronic dimming ballasts for the commercial lighting industry.
The patented Axis Dimming/Daylight Harvesting Ballast is a new
technology that transforms the standard ballast into a dynamic
energy-saving system that can reduce lighting energy costs by up to
70%. The company's target market is small to large commercial users
of fluorescent lighting to include office buildings, wholesale and
retail buildings, hospitals, schools, and government buildings. The
Axis Ballast utilizes an individual photo sensor to automatically
adjust the amount of electrical current flowing to the light
fixture and then dims or increases lighting in conjunction with the
amount of available sunlight. The Axis Ballast avoids "over-lit"
conditions that increase energy costs by harvesting and utilizing
free daylight from windows or skylights. As the amount of available
daylight fluctuates, the Axis Ballast automatically keeps lighting
"tuned" to the desired level in a designated area
(www.axistechnologyinc.com/products.html). Underwriters
Laboratories (UL) has approved Axis products for sale in both the
United States and Canada. The Axis Dimming/Daylight Harvesting
ballast is priced competitively and is the only daylight harvesting
ballast system that can be marketed as a replacement for a standard
ballast. Numerous utilities have included the Axis ballast in their
rebate programs offered to their commercial and government
customers.
