        AXS-ONE ANNOUNCES SALE OF ITS ENTERPRISE FINANCIALS PRODUCT LINE
      Parallax Capital Partners to Purchase Financial Management Solutions

RUTHERFORD, NJ, November 1, 2006 - AXS-One Inc., (AMEX: AXO), a leading provider
of high-performance records compliance management software solutions, announced
today that it has sold the assets of its Enterprise Financials product line to
Computron Software, LLC (Computron), a subsidiary of Parallax Capital Partners,
LLC (Parallax) of Irvine, California, for $12 million in cash plus future
potential consideration if specified license revenue thresholds are exceeded.
Parallax intends to retain all of the AXS-One Enterprise Financials employees
and will continue to operate the Enterprise Financials business under the
Computron name.

Customers of the Enterprise Financials business include top companies in the
financial services, insurance, health care, life sciences, manufacturing and
government sectors. AXS-One, founded in 1978, will continue to operate its
records compliance management software business out of its Rutherford, NJ
headquarters and its international offices.

Bill Lyons, Chairman and CEO of AXS-One said, "We believe AXS-One's Enterprise
Financials technology and the market opportunity for financial applications has
excellent potential. For more than 20 years, AXS-One has been known for
developing great technologies including a suite of Enterprise Financials
applications. We firmly believe that this divestiture is in the best interests
of our shareholders, our customers and our employees. Parallax has the capital
and expertise to ensure the necessary resources are in place to maximize the
value of the Enterprise Financials applications for customers, partners and
employees."

Lyons added, "This action will enable AXS-One to have full focus on its Records
Compliance Management (RCM) products, customers and partners. It is our
intention to become the leader in the RCM space and with a strengthened balance
sheet, we will be able to compete more effectively and reinforce the confidence
of our partners and prospects to insure our long-term success in the RCM
segment."

"The Enterprise Financials products are a powerful, comprehensive, and reliable
solution that has been meeting the needs of thousands of end user customers
worldwide for over 20 years," said James Hale, Managing Partner, Parallax
Capital Partners. "We will work very closely with our customers to continue
moving the solutions forward with a commitment to protecting their investments
in the Enterprise Financials line. We also



will have a great team of experienced, talented people supporting and improving
these solutions on a daily basis."

AXS-One will work closely with Computron to ensure a seamless transition for the
Enterprise Financial customers. The transaction is part of AXS One's strategy to
focus on its core RCM product line.
