Axis Technologies Benefiting From State Mandates for Energy Reduction Resulting in Sustained Increase in Sales Momentum Recently Enacted Legislation Generating Numerous Ballast Installations in Federal, State, City and County Buildings LINCOLN, NE--(MARKET WIRE)--Aug 26, 2008 -- Axis Technologies Group, Inc. (Other OTC:AXTG.PK - News), a green
technology designer, manufacturer and marketer of a
proprietary line of energy saving and daylight harvesting
electronic
dimming ballasts for the commercial lighting industry, announced
today that
the company has received many orders in the past sixty days
for its
ballasts to be installed in government buildings at all
levels including
schools, universities, hospitals, prisons, libraries, military
facilities,
state office buildings, etc. Most states have passed legislation
that
mandates energy reductions, renewable energy, compliance
with LEED
(Leadership in Environmental and Energy Designs) standards,
lighting
controls, Green practices, etc., and in many cases, provides
incentives,
rebates, or low-interest loans to enhance compliance. The various programs that are available from various utilities can be found at www.dsireusa.org (Database of State Incentives for Renewables and Efficiency). Kip Hirschbach, CEO of Axis Technologies, Inc., said, "Many of the states' energy reduction programs have goals of from 10 to 30% that is expected by a certain date. The Axis Dimming/Daylight Harvesting ballast can greatly help the building managers in reaching these aggressive timelines. We are especially gratified to see that our efforts at building awareness within the industry through our many trade show participations have built an attractive referral base that is generating incoming sales leads well after these trade shows."

About the Axis Ballast: A standard "ballast" is an electronic component that regulates voltage in light fixtures. Axis Technologies Group, Inc. has developed an innovative new ballast with the aim of expanding daylight harvesting into mainstream lighting applications. The patented Axis Dimming/Daylight Harvesting Ballast is a new technology that transforms the ballast, a once standard lighting industry staple, into a dynamic energy saving system that can reduce lighting energy costs by up to 70%. 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 keeps lighting "tuned" to the desired level in a designated area. About Axis Technologies Group, Inc.: Axis Technologies Group, Inc. conducts its business through this wholly owned subsidiary Axis Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation headquartered in Lincoln, Nebraska. 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 company's target market is small to large commercial users of fluorescent lighting including office buildings, wholesale and retail buildings, hospitals, schools, and government buildings. In 2002, Underwriters Laboratory (UL) approved Axis products for sale in both the United States and Canada. The Axis ballast is priced competitively and is the only daylight harvesting ballast system that can be marketed as a replacement for a standard ballast.
