WE ARE NOT SOLICITING YOUR PROXY.
NO VOTE OR OTHER ACTION BY THE COMPANY’S SECURITYHOLDERS IS REQUIRED IN RESPONSE TO THIS INFORMATION STATEMENT.

CHANGE OF CONTROL
 
    As of October 10, 2007 the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (“Agreement”), between and among the Company, Eastern Concept Development Ltd., (“Eastern”) a corporation organized and existing under the laws of Hong Kong, a Special Administrative Region of the Peoples’ Republic of China, Mr. Benny Lee, the shareholder of Eastern (“Eastern Shareholder”), Foshan Wanzhi Electronic Technology Co., Ltd. (“Foshan”), a corporation organized under the laws of the Peoples’ Republic of China, Jun Chen the representative of the shareholders of Foshan (“Foshan Shareholders”) and Duane Bennett, the Chief Executive Officer and Director of Company ("Mr. Bennett").

Pursuant to the Agreement the Company will acquire one hundred percent (100%) of all of the issued and outstanding share capital of Eastern from the Eastern Shareholder in exchange for 35,351,667 shares of common stock of the Company in a transaction intended to qualify as a tax-free exchange pursuant to sections 351 and 368(a)(1)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, in addition to the payment by the Eastern Shareholder of $262,500 to the Northeast Nominee Trust, as additional consideration in the transaction.. A copy of the Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.
 
 
1

 
 
    Subsequent to the share exchange, Eastern or a subsidiary of Eastern will acquire from the Foshan Shareholders, all of the share capital of Foshan for approximately $1.3 million, and Foshan shall become an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
 
The closing contemplated in the Agreement (the “Closing”) shall be held at a mutually agreed upon time and place on or before October 18, 2007, or on another date to be agreed to in writing by the parties (the "Closing Date”).

The $262,500 payment by the Eastern Shareholder to the Northeast Nominee Trust represents a payment to a majority shareholder of the Company, of which Mr. Bennett is the trustee.  The children of Mr. Bennett are the beneficiaries of the Northeast Nominee Trust and Mr. Bennett is considered the beneficial owner of the corpus of the Trust...
   
 It is important to note that Mr. Bennett had no pre-existing material relationship of any kind with Eastern, Foshan or the Eastern Shareholder or Foshan Shareholders prior to the Agreement described herein.
 
    The Company has agreed to use its best efforts to insure the conditions under the Agreement will be satisfied as promptly as practicable so that the Closing conditions under Agreement will occur and a change of control of Company will happen as soon as possible.

The foregoing summary of selected provisions of the Share Exchange Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Share Exchange Agreement, a copy of which is included as an exhibit 10 hereto..

As a result of the exchange of a majority of AXIO’s common stock for all of the share capital of Eastern Concept, the Eastern Concept Shareholder and his designee have acquired majority control of the outstanding common stock of AXIO and have appointed their candidate to the Board of Directors at closing.  The existing director will continue to serve and will resign in compliance with Rule 14f-1 of the Exchange Act.  It is worth noting that Karol Kapinos had earlier resigned from his position as a director of the Registrant, and Lawrence Nault had earlier resigned from his position as President of the Registrant.  Bennett continued as a Director and was appointed as Chief Executive Officer of the Registrant.  A Form 8-K reporting these management changes was filed with the Commission on October 11, 2007.

As of the Closing, Benny Lee will be appointed as a Director, to serve together with Bennett, and he will be appointed to the offices of Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Secretary of the Registrant.  At Closing, Bennett will resign his office as Chief Executive Officer and will resign his position as a director effective upon the expiration of the ten day period after a Schedule 14F-1 has been mailed to shareholders of record. Accordingly, the new Board of Directors will consist of Mr. Benny Lee, as the sole director, but Bennett’s resignation, which will enable to Benny Lee to serve as the sole Director in his place, will only be effective upon the expiration of the ten day period.

Starting in 1983, as Vice President-International, Asia/Pacific, for MasterCard, Mr. Lee was responsible for the expansion of the MasterCard membership network in the Asia/Pacific region by first getting Nanyang Commercial Bank to convert its Federal Card to Federal MasterCard and thus, initially break-through into the China card market.  Based in Hong Kong, he assisted many financial institutions in Asia/Pacific in initiating MasterCard operations, including Bank of China when it introduced The Greatwall MasterCard, the first credit card in China.  In 1990, Mr. Lee was transferred to Canada, where as Vice President-Canada Region, he opened the first MasterCard office in Toronto.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS’ MEETINGS AND COMMITTEES

The Company presently does not have an audit committee, compensation committee or nominating committee.  The Company does not have an audit committee charter or a charter governing the nominating process as the management of the Company believes that until this point it has been premature at the early stage of the Company’s management and business development to form an audit, compensation or nominating committee.  However, the new management of the Company may form an audit, compensation and nominating committee in the future.  Until these committees are established, these decisions will continue to be made by the Board of Directors.  Although the Board of Directors has not established any minimum qualifications for director candidates, when considering potential director candidates, the Board considers the candidate’s character, judgment, skills and experience in the context of the needs of the Company and the Board of Directors.
 
The Company’s Board of Directors does not currently provide a process for stockholders to send communications to the Board of Directors as the Company management believes that until this point it has been premature given the limited liquidity of the common stock of the Company to develop such processes.  However, the new management of the Company may establish a process for stockholder communications in the future.
 
CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

           AXIO originally incorporated in Massachusetts as Axiom First Corporation on May 22, 2003. Northeast Nominee Trust owned 100% of Axiom First Corporation. AXIO also created a second corporation, Axiom Second Corporation, which was also incorporated in Massachusetts on May 22, 2003. Axiom First owned, and continues to own, 100% of its subsidiary, Axiom Second Corporation. The next month, on June 12, 2003 director Bennett deeded to Axiom Second Corporation the property located at 80 Cochran Street in Chicopee, Massachusetts. In June 2004, AXIO incorporated Axiom III, Inc., a Nevada corporation. By agreement dated June 30, 2004, Northeast Nominee Trust entered into a share exchange with Axiom III, Inc., in which the trust exchanged its 100% ownership in Axiom First Corporation for 2,500,000 shares of Axiom III, Inc., and Axiom III, Inc. assumed 100% ownership of Axiom First Corporation and its subsidiary. Bennett is the Trustee and beneficial owner of the Northeast Nominee Trust, and is also the Chief Executive Officer and Director of AXIO.

Bennett is the beneficial owner of 1,000,000 shares of common stock of AXIO held by the Northeast Nominee Trust through his position as Trustee.  As part of the transaction, Bennett will retain ownership of said 1,000,000 shares of common stock, and will agree with the Company not to sell in excess of 10,000 shares per day for a one year period of time pursuant to a Leak-Out Agreement.

As part of the consideration for the share exchange transaction, the Eastern Concept Shareholder paid the sum of $262,500 to the Northeast Nominee Trust.  As previously mentioned, Bennett is Trustee and a beneficial owner of the Northeast Nominee Trust.

Except for the transactions described above, there are no proposed transactions and no transactions during the past two years to which the Company was (or is) a party, and in which any officer, director, or principal stockholder, or their affiliates or associates, was also a party.
