ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS.


THE COMPANY

AXCESS provides computer network-based solutions for bettering the utilization
of corporate assets to improve operations productivity, physical security, asset
management, manufacturing logistics and enterprise resource planning (commonly
referred to as ERP), and financial reporting. The Company's products include
hands-free, long range radio frequency identification (RFID) technology used to
track and monitor people, assets, inventory and vehicles, as well as patented
digital video compression technology for enterprise multi-media transmission and
digital recording. The Company's products incorporate patented technologies in
wireless, automatic identification and multi-media. The Company's principal
offices are located at 3208 Commander Drive, Carrollton, Texas, 75006, and its
telephone number is 972-407-6080.

COMPANY EVOLUTION

The Company was formed in November 1982 (as Lasertechnics, Inc.). Prior to 1999,
the Company, through two subsidiaries, sold high-end dye-sublimation card
printers and high-speed laser marking equipment. During 1998 the Company
determined that it could not be consistently profitable selling these products.
Accordingly, in October 1998 the Company discontinued the operations of its 96%
owned subsidiary, Sandia Imaging Systems Corporation, which was engaged in
distributing and reselling high-end dye-sublimation card printers and
consumables. The Company sold this business in December 1998. A second
subsidiary, Lasertechnics Marking Corporation (LMC), was engaged in fabricating,
distributing and selling high-speed laser marking equipment. In April 1999 the
Company sold LMC to affiliates of Amphion Capital Management, a major
stockholder of the Company. See "Item 6. Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operation." See also "Item 12. Certain
Relationships and Related Transactions."

In September 1998, the Company consummated the acquisition of the RFID based
intellectual property assets of ASGI, Inc. and Nauta, Inc., unaffiliated
entities to AXCESS. The intellectual property assets included a patent, trade
secret rights, software, hardware, product designs and all other technical
information necessary for the Company to manufacture and market RFID products to
the access control and asset management markets.

In July 1999, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets, including
the network video technology, of Prism Video, Inc. Prism Video, Inc. was engaged
in the design, manufacture and marketing of video security technology and video
storage products.

In July 1999, the Company hired new senior management, including a new
president and chief executive officer, chief financial officer, and vice
president of sales.

In September 1999, the Company was further reorganized to support the new
corporate direction.

MARKETS

For business organizations, the 1990s were characterized by dramatic efforts to
provide efficiencies such as organizational flattening, the use of the Internet
for more efficient sales channels (e-commerce), and a move towards
business-to-business Internet development to further provide efficiencies for
activities between companies. AXCESS is focused on the next phase of this
revolution, to leverage the corporate network to gain better utilization from
the personnel and hardware assets of the enterprise. The Company's initial focus
has been in the physical security and remote management markets, reducing asset
loss and providing management visibility into remote operations. The American
Society of Industrial Security estimated physical security to be an $11 billion
market including the fastest growing segment, corporate video (CCTV) estimated
to be $1.8 billion growing at 15% annually. According to an updated 1999 study
by Venture Development Corporation, the asset management and access control
markets are


<PAGE>   3

$1.3 billion and the use of RFID is predicted to be $800 million of that,
growing at 25% annually. The transportation market is sized at $200 million,
growing at greater than 20% annually. The Company has established distribution
channels in these markets and expects to enter the fast growing inventory and
warehouse management markets in 2000, currently sized at $112 million and
growing at 25% annually.

PRODUCTS AND SERVICES

RFID

The AXCESS(TM) ActiveTag(TM) RFID system is a high performance, active tag
system used to identify and track people, assets, inventory and vehicles. Based
on patented technology, the AXCESS(TM) RFID System provides users a convenient,
unobtrusive means of identifying people or objects without human interaction.

The flexibility of the ActiveTag(TM) system makes it well suited for a variety
of access control and monitoring applications, including:

     o    VEHICLE AND PERSONNEL ACCESS CONTROL

     o    ASSET AND INVENTORY MANAGEMENT

     o    PERSONNEL TIME AND ATTENDANCE

     o    FLEET MANAGEMENT

The ActiveTag(TM) system's unique features include:

     o    MULTI-USE - assets, people, and vehicle tagging all in one system;

     o    LONG RANGE - automatic hands-free tag reading at up to 70 feet outside
          and 30 feet indoors;

     o    FLEXIBLE COVERAGE ZONES - site configurable for short range or wide
          area coverage;

     o    MULTI-TAG READ - identifies multiple tags instantaneously;

     o    FUNCTIONAL LINKAGE(TM) - associates two or more tag readings as a
          single event;

     o    READ/WRITE CAPABILITY - modifies and retrieves data stored in tag
          memory; and

     o    TCP/IP NETWORK INTERFACE - for transmitting over the enterprise LAN or
          the Internet.

The ActiveTag(TM) system is comprised of radio frequency tags, wake-up antennas
and networked readers. The tags are small transmitter/receivers that once
activated, communicate non-line-of-sight with a reader which passes I.D., time
and location data to Microsoft(R) Windows-based application software for
processing.

The type and tuning of the activator antenna determines the size and location of
each coverage zone, such as a vehicle gate, ingress/egress door, or hallway. As
the tag enters a coverage zone, it receives an activation command from an
antenna located in the ground, next to the doorway or inconspicuously installed
in a ceiling or wall. The tag interprets this command and transmits to a
receiver. In a typical installation, the reader communicates the tag's unique
identification number to the host computer or controller via an
industry-standard hardwired data interface. Currently the AXCESS(TM) RFID System
supports 26-bit Wiegand, RS-232 standard serial communications and Motorola
LonWorks(TM) for Ethernet, token ring and other LAN configurations.

                                       2

<PAGE>   4

Several supporting software packages, including the Company's own ActiveTrac(TM)
software, provide customers the capability to link multiple tag reads using
Functional Linkage(TM). Tag reads can be linked together for decision and
control based on associated credentials, such as a laptop tag matched with its
owner's tag.

DIGITAL VIDEO

AXCESS' Prism Video line of video products provide digital video transmission
and recording solutions for the supervision of remote facilities and the
enterprise from desktop computers. Its core video compression technology is
based on a patented compression/decompression (CODEC) algorithm allowing live
motion video to be transmitted and recorded over various communications and
computer network systems, including telephone lines (POTS), ISDN, cellular phone
lines, very small aperture terminal (V-SAT), and TCP/IP for Local Area Networks
(LAN), Wide Area Networks (WAN) and the Internet. Prism Video products utilize
video, audio, and control signals for specific industry applications and
interface with existing CCTV networks or place the video directly on the
enterprise network.

Prism Video products' flexibility and ability to operate on narrow bandwidth
systems make them well suited for a wide array of applications including:

     o    REMOTE OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT

     o    ENTERPRISE-WIDE CCTV

     o    INTEGRATED VIDEO VALIDATION OF ASSET AND PERSONNEL TRACKING

     o    VIDEO ALARM VERIFICATION

     o    COVERT SURVEILLANCE

Prism Video's unique features include:

     o    PRE-ALARM(TM), EVENT AND LONG DURATION RECORDING - store and retrieve
          digital video on any Microsoft(R) Windows 95, 98 or NT based PC;

     o    FAST FRAME RATES - video is a series of individual picture "fields" or
          "frames" that create motion and the AXCESS patented video compression
          technology provides the fastest frame rates or motion over a given
          digital transmission link or storage facility;

     o    INTEGRATED CCTV PERIPHERALS - software to control standard CCTV
          peripheral equipment;

     o    DYNAMIC BANDWIDTH THROTTLE - allows viewers to control bandwidth used
          based on network capacity; and

     o    NETWORK INTERFACE - provide interface of existing CCTV to network or
          directly hook up to existing LAN/WAN.


RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

The Company plans to continually develop new products utilizing its existing
technology and plans to bring new products to market throughout the fiscal year
ended December 31, 2000. Additionally, the Company is developing new
applications for its technology outside of the security industry, including
inventory management and asset management applications. Development of these
applications requires additional software integration and network interface
capabilities for the Company's products. During 1999 and 1998 the Company spent
$1,733,119 and $2,939,107, respectively, for research and development and plans
to continue spending similar amounts in fiscal year 2000 to develop products to
support the Company's continued revenue growth.

PATENTS AND PROPRIETARY TECHNOLOGY

The Company relies on a combination of patents, trade secrets, technology
licenses, and other intellectual property rights. The Company was awarded three
new patents in 1999, two in digital video compression and one in RFID automatic
identification. The Company has 12 patents in various stages of prosecution with
foreign patent authorities and several additional patents being prepared
for filing. The Company intends to protect and enforce its intellectual property
rights and to preserve its rights relating to its key product technologies to
the extent commercially reasonable. The Company has registered a number of trade
and service marks, including but not limited to the following: AXCESS Inc.(TM),
the AXCESS Inc. (logo)(TM), LANcam, ActiveTag(TM), onlineaccess.com(TM), and
LANcorder (TM).

COMPETITION

The security industry is a mature and very competitive market. Recently the
industry has been experiencing consolidation through several mergers and
acquisitions. The Company competes directly with much larger companies and the
price sensitive nature of the industry is an advantage to these higher volume
manufacturers. The Company believes that it has technological advantages in both
digital video and RFID that offset some of its size disadvantages. Specifically,
the Company's digital video compression/decompression technology is up to 30
times more efficient than certain competitive products and the Company offers
active RFID technology rather than passive RFID technology.

Outside of the security industry, the Company provides products that complement
traditional inventory and asset tracking, such as bar coding. The Company's
technology provides the customers a "hands-free" method to account for
stationary and mobile assets and inventory and provide data to ERP systems.

MANUFACTURING AND SUPPLIERS

The Company outsources the manufacturing of its products and consequently
depends on outside manufacturers to supply finished product. A large number of
manufacturers in the U.S. have the capability to produce the Company's products.
The Company periodically seeks bids for manufacturing and has multiple
manufacturing sources for each of its products.

Although the Company depends on a number of outside suppliers for components of
its products, the Company has designed its current line of products so that it
is not dependent on a single source for any of its products' components.
Although the Company has generally been able to secure adequate suppliers, the
inability of the Company in the future to obtain sufficient suppliers of
component parts could have material adverse effects on the Company's results of
operations.

There are currently no long-term agreements between the Company and its
manufacturers or suppliers.

SALES AND MARKETING

The Company markets, sells and supports dealers, distributors, original
equipment manufacturers (OEMs), value added resellers(VARs) and systems
integrators who sell, install and support end users in applying digital video
and RFID systems and services to their particular application requirements. The
Company provides training and support to its distribution channel, thereby
leveraging the large sales teams used by integrators and distributors. The
Company markets to end users as part of its support of this distribution channel
and anticipates more direct end user sales as the industry moves to network
products and as the Company sells its asset and inventory tracking products.

EMPLOYEES

As of December 31, 1999, the Company had 49 full-time employees and 1 part-time
employee.

GOVERNMENT REGULATION

Government regulations have not had, nor are they expected to have, a material
effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations or
competitive position.


                                       4
<PAGE>   6

ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS

There has been, and it is anticipated that there will continue to be, no
material effect upon the Company's capital expenditures, earnings, or
competitive position due to compliance with existing provisions of federal,
state and local laws regulating the discharge of material into, or otherwise
relating to the protection of, the environment.

RISK FACTORS

We operate in a changing environment that involves numerous risks, some of which
are beyond our control. The following highlights some of these risks.

Auditors' Report

Our auditors have included an explanatory paragraph in their audit opinion with
respect to our consolidated financial statements at December 31, 1999. The
paragraph states that our recurring losses from operations and resulting
continued dependence on access to external financing raise substantial doubts
about our ability to continue as a going concern. Furthermore, the factors
leading to and the existence of the explanatory paragraph may adversely affect
our relationship with customers and suppliers and have an adverse effect on our
ability to obtain financing.

Need for Additional Financing

Failure to obtain additional capital could cause delay or abandonment of our
business plans. The Company anticipates that it will depend on outside sources
of capital to fund operating losses. Additional capital may also be required for
a variety of other reasons, including unforeseen delays, unanticipated expenses,
increased capital requirements, engineering design changes and other technology
risks or other corporate purposes. These additional funds may not be available.
Even if those funds are available, we may not be able to obtain them on a
timely basis, on terms acceptable to us. Failure to obtain additional funds
could result in the delay or abandonment of our development and expansion plans
and we may be unable to fund our ongoing operations.

History of Losses and Expectation of Future Losses; Uncertainty of Future
Profitability

From our incorporation in 1982 through December 31, 1999, we have incurred an
accumulated loss of approximately $91.1 million and have been profitable in only
one fiscal year during that time. There can be no assurance that we will
generate sufficient revenues to achieve profitability in the future.

Future Development of Products

Introducing new technology involves, without limitation, risks of "bugs", prior
release compatibility, customer modifications affecting standard interfaces, and
unanticipated application environment anomalies. Although we use rigorous
testing procedures and protocols, delays in new or modified product
introductions or shipments could have a material adverse effect on our results
of operation.

Much of our ability to compete in the security segment depends on trade secrets,
know-how and proprietary technical knowledge that is unprotected by patents.
Although we continue to implement protective measures and intend to defend our
proprietary rights vigorously when appropriate, there can be no assurance that
these efforts will be successful. Such protections may not preclude competitors
from developing products similar to ours. In addition, the laws of certain
foreign countries do not protect intellectual property rights to the same extent
as do the laws of the United States. There can also be no assurance that third
parties will not assert intellectual property infringement claims against us.
Any such infringement claim could result in protracted and costly litigation and
could have a material adverse effect on our results of operation regardless of
the outcome.



                                       5
<PAGE>   7

Obsolete Technology

The technology we use may become obsolete or limit our ability to compete
effectively within the wireless, automatic identification and multi-media
industries. These industries are characterized by rapidly changing technology,
evolving industry standards and frequent new product introductions. The
introduction of products embodying new technologies or the emergence of industry
standards can render existing products obsolete and unmarketable. Our success
will depend on our ability to enhance our existing products. Our success will
also depend on our ability to develop and introduce, on a timely and
cost-effective basis, new products that keep pace with technological
developments and emerging industry standards and that address increasingly
sophisticated customer requirements.

Our business would be adversely affected if we were to incur difficulties or
delays in developing new products or enhancements or if those products or
enhancements did not gain market acceptance. Specifically:

     o    we may not be successful in identifying, developing and marketing
          product enhancements or new products that respond to technological
          change or evolving industry standards;

     o    we may experience difficulties that could delay or prevent the
          successful development, introduction and marketing of these products;
          and

     o    our new products and enhanced products may not adequately meet the
          requirements of the marketplace and achieve market acceptance or may
          not keep pace with advances made by our competitors.

Outsourcing; Dependence on Manufacturers and Suppliers to Produce Systems

Because we decided to outsource portions of our business, particularly for
manufacturing, we depend heavily on third-party vendors, suppliers, and
contractors. The failure by any of our vendors, suppliers, or contractors to
fulfill their contractual obligations to us could adversely affect our
operations. If we are unable to obtain sufficient components and manufacturers
for the products, or develop alternative sources, delays in product
introductions or shipments could occur and could have a material adverse effect
on our results of operation.

NASDAQ Listing

Our common stock is listed on the NASDAQ SmallCap Market, which requires
maintenance of certain quantitative and other standards for continual listing
thereon.

On August 22, 1998, the Securities and Exchange Commission approved the new
NASDAQ listing requirements for continued listing on the NASDAQ SmallCap Market.
In particular, the new NASDAQ listing requirements require that a company
currently included in NASDAQ meet each of the following standards to maintain
its continued listing: (i) either (A) net tangible assets (defined as total
assets, minus goodwill, minus total liabilities) of $2 million, (B) total market
capitalization of $35 million, or (C) net income (in the latest fiscal year or
in two of the last three fiscal years) of $500,000; (ii) public float of at
least 500,000 shares, with a market value of at least $1 million; (iii) minimum
bid price of $1; (iv) at least two market makers; (v) at least 300 round lot
beneficial shareholders; and (vi) compliance with certain corporate governance
requirements. As of March 20, 2000, the closing bid price of our common stock
was $8.00 per share, which is in excess of the minimum bid price of $1.00 per
share established by the new NASDAQ listing requirements.


                                       6
<PAGE>   8

As of March 20, 2000, our net tangible assets were in excess of the $2 million
threshold established by the new NASDAQ listing requirements.

Although management believes that we will be able to preserve the listing of our
common stock on the NASDAQ SmallCap Market, there can be no assurance that we
will be able to do so. There can be no assurance that our continued losses or
other factors beyond our control will not cause us to fail to meet such
requirements.

If our common stock were delisted from the NASDAQ SmallCap Market, trading, if
any, would likely be conducted in the over-the-counter market on the National
Association of Securities Dealers' OTC Bulletin Board and/or on the pink sheets
of the National Quotation Bureau. As a result, an investor may find it more
difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations as to the price of our
common stock. In addition, our common stock would be subject to rules
promulgated under the Exchange Act applicable to penny stocks. The Commission
has adopted regulations that generally define a "penny stock" to be an equity
security that has a market price (as determined pursuant to regulations adopted
by the Commission) or exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to
certain exceptions. By virtue of being listed on the NASDAQ SmallCap Market, our
common stock will be exempt from the definition of "penny stock." If, however,
our common stock is removed from the NASDAQ SmallCap Market, our securities may
become subject to the penny stock rules that impose additional sales practice
requirements on broker-dealers who sell penny stocks to persons other than
established customers and accredited investors. Consequently, the penny stock
rules may adversely affect the ability of broker-dealers to sell our common
stock and may affect the ability of purchasers of our common stock to sell such
securities in the secondary market.

Small Trading Volume and Volatility of Stock Price

The weekly trading volume of our common stock in the over-the-counter market has
varied from a few thousand shares to 240,000 shares, which may tend to increase
the volatility of the price. Since January 1999 through December 31, 1999, the
closing bid price of our common stock in the over-the-counter market has varied
from a low of $1.25 to a high of $6.00 per share. There can be no assurance that
the price volatility will not continue in the future.

Dependence on Key Personnel

We believe that our ability to successfully implement our business strategy is
highly dependent on our management and product development team. The loss of
services of one or more of these individuals might hinder the achievement of our
development objectives. We cannot give any assurance that we will continue to be
able to hire and retain the qualified personnel needed for our business. The
loss of the services of or the failure to recruit key technical personnel could
adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition.

Potential Adverse Effect of Shares Eligible for Future Sale; Outstanding
Convertible Securities and Warrants

Future sales of our common stock in the public market by existing stockholders,
warrant holders and holders of convertible securities subsequent to the date
hereof could adversely affect the market price of our common stock. At March 20,
2000, 3,319,408 shares of common stock were issued and outstanding with
approximately 1,400,000 shares freely tradable without restriction under the
Securities Act. If exercised, the convertible debt, convertible securities,
warrants and options outstanding at March 20, 2000, would result in over
12,000,000 additional shares of common stock issued and outstanding. See Notes
9, 10 and 11 in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

estimates that there were approximately 5,600 beneficial owners of its common
stock as of the same date.

The Company has not paid dividends on its common stock and does not anticipate

business.

RECENT SALE OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES

During 1999 the Company issued unregistered securities in connection
with each of the transactions described below. The issuance of the preferred
stock, common stock and warrants were exempt from the registration requirements
of the Securities Act by virtue of Section 4(2) thereof as a transaction not
involving a public offering and an appropriate restrictive legend was affixed to
the stock certificates and warrants.

CONVERSION OF NOTES PAYABLE BY STOCKHOLDERS

Under the terms of a Note Purchase Agreement dated December 29, 1997 (the "Note
Purchase Agreement"), the Company borrowed a total of $3,020,233 from Amphion
Ventures L.P. ($400,000), Antiope Partners L.L.C. ($1,820,233) and J. P. Morgan
Investment Corporation ($800,000). In December 1998, Amphion Ventures L.P.,
Antiope Partners L.L.C. and J. P. Morgan Investment Corporation each elected to
Convert one-half of the outstanding indebtedness of the Company to each of them
under the Note Purchase Agreement, including all accrued, but unpaid interest
thereon through December 31, 1998, into shares of the Company's Series I
Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Series I Preferred
Stock"), or Series J Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $.01 per share (the
"Series J Preferred Stock"). In addition, Amphion Ventures L.P. elected to
convert $100,000 of the accrued, but unpaid interest under the terms of its
$1.47 million note payable from the Company (the "Amphion Note Payable") into
shares of Series I Preferred Stock or Series J Preferred Stock.

As a result of the debt conversions described above, the Company issued: (a) 35
shares of Series J Preferred Stock to Amphion Partners L.P. for its conversion
of indebtedness of the Company in the aggregate amount of $350,000 ($200,000
under the terms of the Note Purchase Agreement plus $50,000 of accrued, but
unpaid interest thereon, and $100,000 of accrued, but unpaid interest on the
Amphion Note Payable); (b) 118 shares of Series J Preferred Stock to Antiope
Partners L.L.C. for its conversion of indebtedness of the Company in the
aggregate amount of $1,180,000 ($910,000 under the terms of the Note Purchase
Agreement plus $270,000 of accrued, but unpaid interest thereon); and (c) 50
shares of Series I Preferred Stock to J. P. Morgan Investment Corporation for
its conversion of indebtedness of the Company in the aggregate amount of
$500,000 ($400,000 under the terms of the Note Purchase Agreement plus $100,000
of accrued, but unpaid interest thereon).

Also in December 1998, Amphion Ventures L.P., Antiope Partners L.L.C. and J. P.
Morgan Investment Corporation agreed with the Company to extend the maturity
date of the balance remaining under the senior notes issued under the Note
Purchase Agreement for a period of one year. The balance of the indebtedness
under the senior notes issued under the Note Purchase Agreement was due in
full by the Company on December 31, 1999. The $400,000 note payable to J. P.
Morgan Investment was in default at December 31, 1999. The Company is in
negotiations with J. P. Morgan Investments to pay this note prior to April 15,
2000.

On September 30, 1999 the Company signed a 10% convertible note with Amphion
Ventures, L. P. under which the Company borrowed $5,986,395 through December 31,
1999. On December 31, 1999 Amphion Ventures, L.P. elected to convert $3,323,423
of these borrowings into 332 shares of the Company's Series 2000 Non-Voting
Preferred Stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Series 2000 Non-Voting Preferred
Stock"). The Company also issued warrants to purchase 180,362 shares of common
stock for $2.10 in connection with the issuance of the 10% convertible note.

EQUITY ISSUED TO PURCHASE TECHNOLOGY

In February 1999, the Company issued 300,000 shares of its common stock to XL
Vision, Inc. to purchase a license to use XL Vision, Inc.'s CombiReader
technology.

In July 1999, as part of the total consideration paid by the Company to Prism
Video, Inc. in connection with its acquisition of the digital video technology,
the Company issued 125 shares of its Series 1999 Voting Preferred Stock, par
$.01 per share (the "Series 1999 Voting Preferred Stock") and warrants to
purchase 500,000 shares of common stock for $2.50 per share.

EXERCISE OF PREFERRED STOCK RESET RIGHT BY STOCKHOLDERS

The Series I Preferred Stock and Series J Preferred Stock contain a reset
provision such that if at any time prior to December 31, 1999, the Company
completed an equity financing with third parties raising at least $1,000,000 in
cash, the initial holders of Series I Preferred Stock and Series J Preferred
Stock had the non-assignable right (the "Series I and J Reset Right"), but not
the obligation to exchange all or a portion of their shares of Series I
Preferred Stock or Series J Preferred Stock for shares of a new series of
preferred stock with substantially the same terms and conditions offered to the
participants in the new equity financing. Further, if the Company failed to
complete such an equity financing prior to December 31, 1999, the conversion
price of the Series I Preferred Stock and Series J Preferred Stock would have
been automatically reset to not less than the greater of $1.00 or one-half of
the average closing bid price of the Company's common stock on the NASDAQ
SmallCap Market during the last 20 consecutive trading days of 1999 (the "Series
I and J Conversion Price Reset Right"). The Company successfully raised over
$1,000,000 in equity prior to such date, thereby voiding the Series I and J
Conversion Price Reset Right.

PREFERRED STOCK CONVERSION TERMS

Each share of Series I Preferred Stock and Series 1999 Voting Preferred Stock is
convertible in whole or in part at any time at the option of the holder into
shares of voting common stock of the Company equal to the quotient of (a) the
aggregate original issue price of $10,000 per share divided by (b) the
conversion price of $4.00 and $2.50 per share respectively. The conversion
feature of the Series J Preferred Stock and the Series 2000 Non-Voting Preferred
Stock are substantially the same as the Series I Preferred Stock, except, among
other factors, they are both convertible in whole or in part at any time at the
option of the holder into shares of the Company's non-voting common stock of the
Company based on the same formula, and except that the conversion price of the
Series 2000 Non-Voting Preferred Stock is $3.50. For additional differences
among the Company's Series of Preferred Stock, see Note 10 to Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements.

Series I Preferred Stock, Series J Preferred Stock, Series 1999 Voting Preferred
Stock and Series 2000 Non-Voting Preferred Stock are subject to the optional
redemption at any time by the Company, in whole or in part, at a redemption
price per share equal to the respective original issue price plus any accrued,
unpaid dividends thereon. The Company's optional right of redemption is subject
to each preferred stockholder's right to convert the preferred stock into voting
or non-voting common stock, as the case may be, within ten business days after
the Company's notice of redemption.

The Series I Preferred Stock and Series J Preferred Stock are subject to the
mandatory conversion by the Company into shares of the Company's voting or
non-voting common stock, as the case may be, if the closing bid price per share
of the Company's voting common stock on the NASDAQ SmallCap Market is at least
$10.00 per share for a period of at least 90 consecutive trading days. The
Series 1999 Voting Preferred Stock and Series 2000 Non-Voting Preferred Stock
are also subject to the mandatory conversion by the Company into shares of the
Company's voting or non-voting common stock, as the case may be, if the closing
bid price per share of the Company's common stock on the NASDAQ SmallCap Market
is at least $7.50 per share for a period of 20 consecutive trading days and the
average trading volume of the common stock on NASDAQ is at least




                                       11
<PAGE>   13

50,000 shares per day during that 20 day period. Although the Company's
non-voting common stock may be converted to common stock at any time by a holder
thereof, Amphion Ventures L.P. has agreed not to convert any shares of
non-voting common stock to voting common stock without the prior consent of the
Company.

ITEM 6. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATIONS.

In September 1998, the Company acquired its active radio frequency
identification (RFID) technology. The Company determined this technology to be
its primary and core strategic focus, based on market demand, market size,
product differentiation, competitive environment and other factors.

On October 21, 1998, the Company's Board of Directors approved a plan to exit
the imaging business formerly operated by its Sandia subsidiary as part of the
Company's strategy to redeploy and refocus the Company's resources on its core
RFID asset, vehicle and personnel tracking business. The sale of the imaging
business was completed on December 15, 1998. The Company received a sales price
of $500,000 and reported a loss of $1,095,920 on the disposal in 1998.

In March 1999, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to sell its
Lasertechnics Marking Corporation (LMC) subsidiary to affiliates of Amphion
Capital Management, a major stockholder of the Company. The Company's rights and
interests in DataGlyph(TM) and the technology under development with XL Vision,
Inc. were also included in the sale. On April 30, 1999, the Company completed
the sale and received $500,000 in cash, $2,000,000 in debt cancellation, a
$4,000,000 note receivable due March 2002 (or 2004 under certain conditions), a
$500,000 demand note receivable and a warrant to purchase equity in the
Amphion-controlled enterprise to which Amphion transferred these businesses and
assets, with an exercise price of $2.50 per share, representing approximately 8%
of that enterprise. If LMC is sold by the Amphion-controlled enterprise prior to
April 2001, the Company has the option to exchange its warrant for 20% of the
excess profits (as defined in the acquisition agreement) from any such sale. The
gain from the disposition of LMC and the technology assets totaled approximately
$3,900,000 and was recorded in the quarter ended June 30, 1999.

On July 28, 1999, the Company completed its acquisition of substantially all of
the assets of Prism Video, Inc. The purchase price for the assets included a
note payable to Prism Video, Inc. in the amount of $4,000,000, 125 shares of a
new series of 8% convertible preferred stock and a warrant to acquire 500,000
shares of the Company's common stock. The Company will satisfy its obligations
under the purchase note through an assignment to Prism Video, Inc. of the
principal payments due the Company under its $4,000,000 note receivable from
Amphion Ventures L.P., which was issued to the Company as partial consideration
for the sale of its LMC subsidiary and certain unrelated technology assets. The
preferred stock has a stated value of $10,000 per share and is convertible into
500,000 shares of common stock at a conversion price of $2.50 per share. The
exercise price of the warrant is $2.50. Under the terms of the purchase
agreement, the common stock to be acquired by Prism Video, Inc. upon conversion
of the preferred stock or exercise of the warrant is subject to a three-year
lockup from the date of closing, which may be reduced to two years upon the
occurrence of certain events. Further, Prism Video, Inc. has agreed not to
convert the preferred stock or exercise the warrant until the Company obtains
stockholder approval to issue the common stock issuable upon either the
conversion or exercise thereof, as the case may be.

As a result of these transactions the Company has completely changed its core
technologies and products. The Company provides computer network-based solutions
for improving the utilization of corporate assets to improve operations
productivity, physical security, asset management, manufacturing logistics and
enterprise resource planning (commonly referred to as ERP), and financial
reporting. The Company's products include hands-free, long range RFID technology
used to track and monitor people, assets, inventory and vehicles as well as
patented digital video compression technology for enterprise multi-media
transmission and digital recording. The Company's products


                                       12
<PAGE>   14

incorporate patented technologies in wireless, automatic identification and
multi-media.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Sales and Gross Profit. Through December 31, 1998, the Company had not yet
shipped a significant volume of RFID systems. Sales and marketing efforts were
launched in the fourth quarter of 1998 and orders were being accepted. Initial
shipments began in 1999.

Sales for 1999 and 1998 were $1,246,880 and $43,146, respectively. The Company
realized gross profits of $490,689 in 1999 and $38,848 in 1998.

RFID product sales were $429,459 and $43,146 for 1999 and 1998, respectively.
Cost of sales were $214,309 in 1999 and $4,298 in 1998. In 1999 the Company made
significant upgrades in RFID products and decided to discontinue selling
previous product releases resulting in a $153,783 additional charge. As a result
gross profits from RFID products were $61,367 in 1999 and $38,848 in 1998.

Digital video product sales were $817,421 in 1999 resulting in gross profits of
$429,322. The Company began producing and selling digital video products in July
1999.

Operating Expenses. Operating expenses were $7,890,589 and $8,738,140, in 1999
and 1998, respectively.

Corporate general and administrative expenses were $2,639,166 and $4,384,513 in
1999 and 1998, respectively.

Research and development expenses were $1,733,119 in 1999 and $2,939,107 in
1998, including new product development costs in 1998 associated with the
Technology Development Agreement with XL Vision, Inc. of $2,550,000.  Our rights
and obligations under the Technology Development Agreement was sold in the LMC
transaction.

Selling and marketing expenses were $2,560,739 in 1999 and $633,277 in 1998. The
Company's continuing operations were not initiated until September 1998.

Other income (expense), net was $1,291,332 and $(510,936) in 1999 and 1998,
respectively. A gain of $2,044,109 was realized in 1999 from the sale of the
Company's rights and interests in DataGlyph(TM) and the technology under
development with XL Vision, Inc.

Loss from continuing operations was $6,108,568 and $9,210,228 in 1999 and 1998,
respectively.

Gain (Loss) from discontinued operations was $1,708,545 and $(6,248,828) in 1999
and 1998, respectively. A gain on the disposal of the LMC subsidiary was
realized in 1999.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Since inception, the Company has utilized the proceeds from a number of public
and private sales of its equity securities, the exercise of options and warrants
and more recently, convertible debt and short-term bridge loans from
stockholders to meet its working capital requirements. At December 31, 1999, the
Company had a working capital deficit of $622,458.

The Company's operations continued to generate losses in 1999. The Company's
cash decreased $1,505,979 during 1999 with operating activities using $8,692,878
of cash. The Company funded operations primarily through debt offerings with
financing activities providing net cash of $5,263,077. The Company also realized
net cash of $1,121,000 from discontinued operations in 1999.

At December 31, 1999, the Company is in default on a $400,000 note payable to
J. P. Morgan Investment Corporation (JPMIC). The Company is currently in
negotiations with JPMIC to pay this note in cash or securities of the Company.
The default on this note does not impact the terms, including acceleration of
maturities, of the Company's other debt.

The Company's future working capital requirements will depend upon many factors,
including the extent and timing of the Company's product sales, the Company's
operating results and the status of competitive products. The Company
anticipates that its existing working capital resources and revenues from
operations will not be adequate to satisfy its funding requirements in 2000,
however the Company has agreed to the terms of a private equity placement that
should provide adequate working capital for the remainder of fiscal year 2000.
Under terms of the agreement, the Company will sell $5,000,000 of convertible
preferred stock to an affiliate of a major stockholder. Based on the Company's
existing business plan, the Company believes


                                       13
<PAGE>   15

this will provide adequate working capital for 2000. No additional funds are
available under the 10% convertible note. The Company's actual funding needs
will depend on numerous factors, including actual expenditures and revenues
generated from its operations compared to its business plan. If the Company's
losses continue, the Company may have to obtain sufficient funds to meet its
cash requirements through strategic or other financial transactions with
compatible entities having the resources to support its programs, the sale of
securities or other financing arrangements, or it will be required to curtail
its programs or seek a merger partner. Any additional funding may be on terms
that are unfavorable to the Company or disadvantageous to existing stockholders.
In addition, no assurance may be given that the Company will be successful in
raising additional funds or entering into business alliances.


OTHER

Inflation. Inflation has not had and is not expected to have a material impact
on the operations and financial condition of the Company.

Impact of Year 2000. In prior years, the Company discussed the nature and
progress of its plans to become Year 2000 ready. In late 1999, the Company
completed its remediation and testing of systems. As a result of those planning
and implementation efforts, the Company experienced no significant disruptions
in mission critical information technology and non-information technology
systems and believes those systems successfully responded to the Year 2000 date
change. The Company is not aware of any material problems resulting from Year
2000 issues, either with its products, its internal systems or the products and
services of third parties upon whom the Company relies. The Company will
continue to monitor its mission critical computer applications and those of its
suppliers and vendors throughout the year 2000 to ensure that any latent Year
2000 matters that may arise are addressed promptly.

FINANCIAL STATEMENT SCHEDULE

     Schedule II--Valuation and Qualifying Accounts

The Company has not presented Schedule II "Valuation and Qualifying Accounts" as
all such accounts relate to assets and liabilities of the discontinued
operations, which were presented as "Net assets of discontinued operations" on
the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Net assets of discontinued
operations are recorded at estimated net realizable value.

All other financial statement schedules have been omitted because they are not
applicable or the required information is shown in the consolidated financial
statements and notes thereto.


ITEM 8. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND
        FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE.

KPMG LLP resigned as the Company's independent auditor on October 13, 1999. At a
meeting held on October 19, 1999, the audit committee of the Company's board of
directors approved the engagement of Ernst & Young LLP, as its independent
auditor for the fiscal year ending December 31, 1999, to replace the firm of
KPMG LLP.

The audit reports of KPMG LLP on the Company's financial statements for the past
two fiscal years did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion,
nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or
accounting principles, except for a statement in the audit reports that KPMG LLP
believed the Company's recurring losses from operations and resulting continued
dependence upon access to additional external financing raised substantial doubt
about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. In connection with
the audits of the Company's financial statements for each of the two fiscal
years ended December 31, 1998, and December 31, 1997, and the subsequent interim
period through October 12, 1999, there were no disagreements with KPMG LLP on
any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement
disclosures, or auditing scope procedure which, if not resolved to the
satisfaction of KPMG LLP, would have caused KPMG LLP to make reference to the
subject matter in its reports.

A copy of the disclosures made herein has been provided to KPMG LLP. The
response of KPMG LLP, indicating agreement with the disclosures, is attached as
an exhibit to the Company's annual report and is hereby incorporated by
reference herein.

                REPORT OF ERNST & YOUNG LLP, INDEPENDENT AUDITORS


The Board of Directors and Stockholders
AXCESS, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of AXCESS, Inc. (the
Company) as of December 31, 1999, and the related consolidated statements of
operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the year then ended. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our
opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of AXCESS, Inc., at December 31,
1999, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the year then ended
in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming
that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the
consolidated financial statements, the Company's recurring losses from
operations and resulting continued dependence upon access to additional external
financing raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as an ongoing
concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in
Note 2. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments
that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                               DECEMBER 31, 1999


1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

   Description of Business

     AXCESS Inc. (the Company) provides computer network-based solutions for
improving the utilization of corporate assets to improve operations
productivity, physical security, asset management, manufacturing logistics and
enterprise resource planning (commonly referred to as ERP), and financial
reporting. The Company's products include hands-free, long range RFID (radio
frequency identification) technology used to track and monitor people, assets,
inventory and vehicles as well as patented digital video compression technology
for enterprise multi-media transmission and digital recording. The Company's
products incorporate patented wireless, automatic identification and multi-media
technologies.

     The future results of operations and financial condition of the Company
will be impacted by the following factors, among others: technological change,
dependence on identifying, developing and marketing product enhancements and new
products, dependence on third party manufactures, vendors, suppliers and
contractors, dependence on key personnel, intellectual property rights, and
product liability.

   Company Organization and Basis of Presentation

     The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
the Company and its majority-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany
accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain
reclassifications have been made to the 1998 consolidated financial statements
to conform to the 1999 presentation.

     The Company has received working capital in various forms from Amphion
Ventures, L. P. and affiliates of Amphion Ventures, L. P. including Amphion
Partners, Amphion Investments and Antiope Partners ("Amphion Group"). As a
result the Amphion Group owns approximately 15% of the Company's voting common
stock currently outstanding and approximately 64% of the Company's voting common
stock on a diluted basis, assuming the exercise of warrants and options and the
conversion of preferred stock and convertible debt. See Notes 9, 10 and 11.

   Use of Estimates

     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

   Statements of Cash Flows

     The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with original
maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

                                                  ============     ============
</TABLE>

   Fair Value of Financial Instruments

     The carrying amounts of cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts
payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value because of the short-term
maturity of these instruments.

     The carrying value of the company's note receivable from stockholder
approximates fair value as it bears interest at rates approximating current
market rates.

     The outstanding borrowings under the Company's long-term notes payable bear
interest at current market rates, and therefore, the carrying amount of debt
approximates estimated fair value at December 31, 1999 and 1998.

   Revenue Recognition

     The Company recognizes revenue on sales of its products when the products
are shipped from the Company. Company policy does not allow customers to return
products for credit. The Company currently provides a one year warranty on all
products and maintains a warranty reserve.

   Depreciation and Amortization

     Depreciation on property and equipment is calculated using the
straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets.

   Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of

     Long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles are reviewed for
impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. No impairments have been
recorded by the Company as a result of such reviews. Recoverability of assets to
be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset
to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets
are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by
the amount by which the

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be
disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less
costs to sell.

   Stock Compensation Plans

     The Company accounts for stock based awards to employees under Accounting
Principles Board Opinion No. 25 ("APB No. 25") "Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees". Generally, under APB No. 25, compensation expense would be recorded
on the date of grant only if the current market price of the underlying stock
exceeded the exercise price at the date of the grant.

   Income Taxes

     The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method.
Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the
future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial
statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their
respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using
enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which
those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Valuation
allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the
amount more likely than not to be realized. Income tax expense is the total of
tax payable for the period and the change during the period in deferred tax
assets and liabilities.

   Net Loss Per Common Share

     Basic loss per share data is computed by dividing the net loss applicable
to common stock by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding
during the year. Diluted earnings per share, which includes the dilutive effect
of the conversion of convertible preferred stock and the exercise of options and
warrants has not been presented because, due to the net losses recorded by the
Company for all periods presented, their inclusion would be antidilutive.
Conversion of convertible preferred stock, convertible debt and the exercise of
options and warrants would result in 15,617,476 common shares outstanding at
December 31, 1999.

   Segment Reporting

     The Company operates in one industry segment selling two primary product
lines, digital video and RFID. Digital video product sales were $817,421 in
1999. RFID product sales were $429,459 and $43,146 for 1999 and 1998
respectively. The Company began producing and selling digital video products in
July 1999.

   Recent Accounting Pronouncements

     In June 1998, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133,
Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities ("SFAS 133"), was
issued. SFAS 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative
instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other
contracts (collectively referred to as "derivatives") and for hedging
activities. It requires that all derivatives be recognized as either assets or
liabilities at fair value. The accounting for gains and losses from changes in
fair value of a derivative depends on the intended use of the derivative and its
resulting classification as one of three designated types of hedges or as a
non-hedging instrument. SFAS 133 is effective for all fiscal quarters of fiscal
years beginning after June 15, 2000. The adoption

of this statement is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's
financial statements and related disclosures.

2. OPERATIONS, LIQUIDITY AND GOING CONCERN

     The Company's operations in 1999 and 1998 generated operating losses of
$6,108,568 and $9,210,228 respectively. Although the Company raised gross
proceeds of approximately $6 million and $15 million during 1999 and 1998,
through equity and debt financing transactions, the Company's operations,
capital expenditures and debt service requirements have utilized substantially
all of such proceeds through March 2000. These factors raise substantial doubt
about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

     The Company's business plan for 2000 is predicated principally upon the
successful marketing of its RFID products and the video security and stage
products acquired from Prism Video, Inc. in June 1999. The Company anticipates
that its existing working capital resources and revenues from operations will
not be adequate to satisfy its funding requirements in 2000. However on March
29, 2000 the Company has agreed to the terms of a private equity placement it
believes will provide adequate working capital for 2000. Under terms of the
agreement, the Company will sell $5,000,000 of convertible preferred stock to an
affiliate of the Amphion Group. The Company will issue 500 shares of Series 2000
Preferred Stock with a stated value of $10,000 per share which is convertible to
non-voting common stock based at a conversion price of $3.50 per non-voting
common share.

     The note payable has a face amount of $4,000,000 and is secured by the
Company's $3,902,375 note receivable from Amphion Ventures, L.P. ("Amphion
Ventures"). In addition the shares of common stock which Prism may acquire upon
conversion of preferred stock or by exercise of the warrant are subject to a
three-year lockup from the date of the closing, which may be reduced to two
years upon the occurrence of certain events. The warrant is exercisable on or
before July 28, 2004. Prism has agreed not to convert the preferred stock or
exercise the warrant until the Company obtains stockholder approval to issue the
common stock. The Company intends to submit this proposal at its 2000 annual
meeting of stockholders.

     The purchase price has been allocated to the assets and liabilities
acquired based on preliminary estimates of fair value as follows:

     The purchased technology consists of proprietary digital video compression
technology used in security video and closed circuit television (CCTV) products
as well as the related U.S. and international patent rights. The purchased
technology is being amortized over an average life of five years.

     The following unaudited pro forma information presents the Company's
results of operations as if the acquisition of the Prism assets had occurred as
of January 1, 1998. The pro forma information has been prepared by combining the
results of operations of the Company and Prism for the years ended December 31,
1999 and 1998, adjusted for the additional amortization of the purchase
technology. This pro forma information does not purport to be indicative of what
would have occurred had the acquisition occurred as of that date, or of results
of operations that may occur in the future.

     RFID Technology

     In September 1998, the Company consummated the acquisition of the RFID
based (Radio Frequency Identification) intellectual property assets of ASGI,
Inc., and Nauta, Inc. (collectively, the "Sellers"). The intellectual property
assets acquired included a patent, trade secret rights, software, hardware,
product designs and all other technical information necessary for the Company to
manufacture and market radio frequency identification products in the areas of
access control and asset management. At closing, the Company made a cash payment
of $415,000, signed a one-year promissory note for $685,000, interest at the
prime rate, and delivered 400,000 shares of its common stock. The note was paid
in full in 1999. Up to an aggregate of an additional $6,000,000 is payable by
the Company to the Sellers only if certain net operating profit targets are
realized during each of the next five years. Such amounts will be treated as
additional cost of the RFID technology, if and when paid, and amortized over the
remaining economic life of the technology. At December 31, 1999 no additional
consideration was due to the Sellers.

4. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

     On October 21, 1998 the Company's Board of Directors approved a plan to
exit the Company's existing imaging business as part of the strategy to redeploy
and refocus the Company's resources on its core RFID asset, vehicle and
personnel tracking business. The sale of the assets of the imaging business was
completed on December 15, 1998. The Company received a sales price of $500,000
and recorded a loss of $1,095,920 on the disposal in 1998.

     On April 30, 1999, the Company completed the sale of its Lasertechnics
Marketing Corporation ("LMC") subsidiary to companies included in the Amphion
Group. The Company's rights and interests in DataGlyph(TM) and certain
technology under development with XL Vision, Inc. were also included in the
sale. The Company received $0.5 million in cash, $2.0 million in debt
cancellation, a $4.0 million note receivable due March 2002 (or 2004 under
certain conditions), a $0.5 million demand note receivable and a warrant to
purchase equity in the Amphion Group controlled enterprise to which these
business and assets were transferred with an exercise price of $2.50 per share,
representing approximately 8% of that enterprise. If LMC is subsequently sold
prior to April 2001 by the Amphion Group controlled enterprise, the Company has
the option to exchange its warrant for 20% of the excess profits (as defined in
the acquisition agreements) from any such sale. The Company realized a gain of
$3,900,734 from the disposition of LMC and the technology assets in the quarter
ended June 30, 1999. Of the gain, $1,856,625 resulted from the sale of LMC and
was reported as a gain from discontinued operations. The remainder of the gain,
$2,044,109, was attributable to the sale of the technology assets and was
included in continuing operations. The

   A claim has been made by the Amphion Group controlled enterprize regarding
representations and warranties contained in the purchase and sale agreement. The
Company is vigorously contesting this matter and believes that their ultimate
resolution of this matter will not have a material adverse effect on its
consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. The
purchaser's ability to assert additional claims for indemnification expired on
December 31, 1999.

     At December 31, 1997, the Company owed a $2,100,000 note payable to Xerox
Corporation ("Xerox") in connection with a license agreement for certain
technology. In the first quarter of 1998, the Company agreed to pay Xerox $1.47
million in license fees for certain technology and issued Xerox 120,000 shares
of the Company's common stock. Xerox agreed not to sell any of these shares
before December 1999, at which time their shares may be subject to certain
limitations. The difference between the original note and the sum of cash and
stock ultimately issued to Xerox was $292,458, which was applied as a reduction
of the deferred license fee. The Company funded the payment to Xerox from
proceeds received from Amphion Ventures under the terms of a two-year loan (the
"Amphion Note Payable") with interest at the rate of 10% per annum. Amphion
Ventures received, as a loan origination fee, (i) 15,120 shares of restricted
common stock and (ii) 3-year warrants to purchase 14,700 shares of common stock
with an exercise price of $5.00 per share The license fee of $2,100,000 was
recorded as a deferred license fee and was being amortized over the three year
term of the license agreement. Accordingly, the Company has reflected the
unamortized balance of $532,881 at December 31, 1998 as a noncurrent asset. The
Company's rights and interests in the technology were included in the sale of
LMC and certain assets to Amphion Ventures in March 1999.

     At December 31, 1997, borrowings of $3,000,000 were outstanding under the
terms of a bridge loan financing provided to the Company by Antiope Partners and
J. P. Morgan Investment Corporation ("JPMIC") pursuant to a note purchase
agreement dated June 25, 1997 (the "Note Purchase Agreement"). The Note Purchase
Agreement provided the Company with additional bridge financing up to a total of
$3,000,000 to be funded 60% by Antiope Partners and 40% by JPMIC. The Note
Purchase Agreement provided for an interest rate of 10% per annum for advances
by Antiope Partners and 6.64% per annum for advances by JPMIC.

     In December 1997, JPMIC, Antiope Partners and Amphion Ventures, extended
the maturity of the Note

Purchase Agreement from December 31, 1997 to December 31, 1998 in exchange for
5,647 restricted shares of the Company's common stock and warrants to purchase
30,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $5.00. The Company
recorded a debt discount of $88,412 representing the estimated fair value of the
warrants and restricted stock provided under this arrangement. The debt discount
was accreted to interest expense through the extended maturity date of December
31, 1998.

     In December 1998, the Amphion Group and JPMIC elected to convert one-half
of the outstanding indebtedness of the Company under the Note Purchase
Agreement, including all accrued, but unpaid interest thereon through December
31, 1998, into shares of the Company's Series I Preferred Stock or Series J
Preferred Stock. In addition, the Amphion Group elected to convert $100,000 of
the accrued, but unpaid interest under the Amphion Note Payable into shares of
Series I Preferred Stock and Series J Preferred Stock.

     As a result of the conversions described above, the Company issued: (a) 35
shares of Series J Preferred Stock to the Amphion Group for its conversion of
indebtedness of the Company in the aggregate amount of $350,000 ($200,000 under
the terms of the Note Purchase Agreement plus $50,000 of accrued, but unpaid
interest thereon, and $100,000 of accrued, but unpaid interest on the Amphion
Note Payable); (b) 118 shares of Series J Preferred Stock to Antiope Partners
for its conversion of indebtedness of the Company in the aggregate amount of
$1,180,000 ($910,000 under the terms of the Note Purchase Agreement plus
$270,000 of accrued, but unpaid interest thereon); and (c) 50 shares of Series I
Preferred Stock to JPMIC for its conversion of indebtedness of the Company in
the aggregate amount of $500,000 ($400,000 under the terms of the Note Purchase
Agreement plus $100,000 of accrued, but unpaid interest thereon).

     Also in December 1998, Amphion Ventures, Antiope Partners and JPMIC agreed
with the Company to extend the maturity date of the balance remaining under the
Note Purchase Agreement for a period of one year. The $400,000 note payable to
JPMIC is in default at December 31, 1999. The Company is currently in
negotiations with JPMIC to pay this note in cash or securities of the Company
prior to April 15, 2000. The default on this obligation does not impact the
terms of the Company's other obligations.


     On September 30, 1999, the Company signed a 10% convertible note maturing
September 30, 2002 ("Amphion Convertible Note"), under which the Company can
borrow up to $6,000,000 from Amphion Ventures. Amphion Ventures may convert all
or any portion of the indebtedness into Series 1999 Non-Voting Preferred Stock
of the Company. Initial borrowings totaling $3,787,275 were used to refinance a
portion of the outstanding borrowings and accrued interest under the Note
Purchase Agreement and the Amphion Note Payable. In consideration for the
financing arrangement, the Company issued a warrant to acquire 180,362 shares of
the Company's non-voting common stock at a exercise price of $2.10 per share.
The Company may be required to issue additional warrants covering up to an
aggregate of 533,923 shares of non-voting common stock based on the outstanding
balance of the convertible notes on each of the first two anniversary dates. The
outstanding warrant was valued at $422,011 and recorded as prepaid interest
which the Company is amortizing over 12 months. On December 31, 1999 the Amphion
Group elected to convert $3,323,423 of borrowings into 332 shares of Series 2000
Non-Voting Preferred Stock. See Note 10. No additional borrowings are available
to the Company under the Amphion Convertible Note at December 31, 1999.

10. PREFERRED STOCK (CONTINUED)

   Series G, H, I and J Convertible Preferred Stock

     During 1998, Amphion Ventures purchased 205 shares and 792 shares of the
Company's Series G Convertible Preferred Stock ("Series G Preferred Stock") and
Series H Convertible Preferred Stock ("Series H Preferred Stock"), respectively,
for a total purchase price of $9,970,000. In October 1998, the Company obtained
a formal commitment from Amphion Ventures to purchase up to an additional $2.3
million of shares of either the Company's Series G Preferred Stock, Series H
Preferred Stock, Series I Convertible Preferred Stock ("Series I Preferred
Stock") or Series J Convertible Preferred Stock ("Series J Preferred Stock"),
raising their commitment to a total of $6.3 million, to fund the Company's
operations (the "1998 Amphion Commitment"). In connection with this commitment,
Amphion Ventures received common stock warrants to purchase 264,998 shares of
the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $2.50 per share.

     In connection with the issuance of the Company's Series G Preferred Stock
and the Series H Preferred Stock during 1997 and 1998, the Company agreed with
the initial holders of the Series G Preferred Stock and the Series H Preferred
Stock, that if, at any time prior to December 31, 1999, the Company were to
complete an equity financing raising at least $3,000,000 in new equity, such
initial holders would have the non-assignable right (the "Reset Right"), but not
the obligation to exchange all or a portion of their shares of Series G
Preferred Stock or Series H Preferred Stock for shares of a new series of
preferred stock with substantially the same terms and conditions offered to the
participants in the new equity financing.

     The 1998 Amphion Commitment triggered the reset right held by the holders
of the Series G Preferred Stock and the Series H Preferred Stock. As a result,
all of the holders of the Series G Preferred Stock and the Series H Preferred
Stock elected to exercise their rights to exchange all shares of Series G
Preferred Stock held by such holders for shares of Series I Preferred Stock, as
well as all shares of Series H Preferred Stock held by such holders for shares
of Series J Preferred Stock.

     In connection with its exercise of the Reset Right, Amphion Ventures
exchanged all 405 shares of Series G Preferred Stock held by it for 405 shares
of Series I Preferred Stock and all 792 shares of Series H Preferred Stock held
by it for 792 shares of Series J Preferred Stock. Also, Antiope Partners
converted all 50 shares of Series G Preferred Stock held by it for 50 shares of
Series I Preferred Stock and the other holder converted all 40 shares of Series
G Preferred Stock held by it for 40 shares of Series I Preferred Stock. The
Series I Preferred Stock and Series J Preferred Stock also contain a similar
reset provision such that if at any time prior to December 31, 1999, the Company
were to complete an equity financing with third parties raising at least
$1,000,000 in new equity, the initial holders would have the non-assignable
right (the "Series I and J Reset Right"), but not the obligation to exchange all
or a portion of their shares of Series I Preferred Stock or Series J Preferred
Stock for shares of a new series of preferred stock with substantially the same
terms and conditions offered to the participants in the new equity financing.
Further, if the Company failed to complete such an equity financing prior to
December 31, 1999, the conversion price of the Series I Preferred Stock and
Series J Preferred Stock would automatically be reset to not less than the
greater of $1.00 or one-half of the average closing bid price of the Company's
common stock on the NASDAQ SmallCap Market during the last twenty (20)
consecutive trading days of 1999. Because the Company successfully raised over
$1,000,000 in equity prior to such date, the Series I and J conversion price
reset clause was voided.

     Under the terms of the Amphion Commitment, 213 shares of Series J
Convertible Preferred Stock were purchased during the three month period ended
December 31, 1998, for an aggregate purchase price of $2,130,000. In addition,
the Company issued 98 shares of Series J Preferred Stock to Amphion Ventures on
December 31, 1998, for a total purchase price of $980,000 and 5 shares of Series
J Preferred Stock to Antiope Partners for a total

purchase price of $50,000.

     Each Share of Series I Preferred Stock and Series J Preferred Stock is
convertible in whole or in part at any time at the option of the holder into
shares of voting or non-voting common stock of the Company, respectively, equal
to the quotient of (a) the aggregate original issue price of $10,000 per share
divided by (b) the conversion price of $4.00 per share. The Series I Preferred
Stock and the Series J Preferred Stock are both subject to the optional
redemption at any time by the Company, in whole or in part, at a redemption
price per share equal to the stated value, plus any accrued, but unpaid
dividends thereon. The Company's optional right of redemption is subject to each
Series I Preferred Stock or Series J Preferred Stock holder's right to convert
such Series I Preferred Stock or Series J Preferred Stock into voting or
non-voting common stock, as the case may be, within ten business days after the
Company's notice of redemption.

     The Series I Preferred Stock and the Series J Preferred Stock are also
subject to the mandatory conversion by the Company into shares of the Company's
voting or non-voting common stock, as the case may be, if the closing bid price
of the Company's common stock on the NASDAQ SmallCap Market is at least $10.00
per share for a period of at least ninety (90) consecutive trading days.
Although the Company's non-voting common stock may be converted to common stock
at any time by a holder thereof, Amphion Ventures has agreed not to convert any
shares of non-voting common stock to voting common stock without the prior
consent of the Company.

     The dividends on the Series I Preferred Stock and the Series J Preferred
Stock are payable semi-annually in cash or additional shares of preferred stock
at the Company's option. During 1999 the Company offset accrued dividends
payable to the Amphion Group against a $1,030,624 note receivable from the
Amphion Group. The Company issued 185 shares of preferred stock in 1999 and 108
shares of preferred stock in 1998 as payment for accrued dividends. Accrued
dividends payable totaled $8,448 at December 31, 1999.

     On December 31, 1999, the Company issued 109 and 4 shares of Series J and
Series 1999 Preferred Stock, respectively, to its preferred stockholders for
payment of accrued dividends on the Series A, B, C, I, J and 1999 Preferred
Stock. As the shares of Series J and 1999 Preferred Stock granted were
convertible into shares of common stock at a price less than the fair market
value of the common stock at December 31, 1999, the Company recorded additional
preferred stock dividends of $672,179.

     Series 1999 and 2000 Preferred Stock

     In connection with the purchase of the Prism video assets, the Company
issued 125 shares of Series 1999 Preferred Stock ("Series 1999 Preferred
Stock"). Dividends are payable semi-annually in cash or in additional shares of
Series 1999 Preferred Stock at the option of the Company.

     The shares of common stock which Prism may acquire upon conversion of the
Series 1999 Preferred Stock are subject to a three-year lockup from the date of
the closing, which may be reduced to two years upon the occurrence of certain
events. Prism agreed not to convert the Series 1999 Preferred Stock until the
Company obtains stockholder approval to issue the common stock.

     As described in Note 9, the Company borrowed a total of $5,986,395
from Amphion under the terms of the Amphion Convertible Note. In December 1999,
Amphion elected to convert $3,323,423 of the outstanding indebtedness of the
Company under the Amphion Convertible Note into shares of Series 2000 Non-Voting
Preferred Stock.

10. PREFERRED STOCK (CONTINUED)

As a result of this debt conversion, the Company issued 332 shares of Series
2000 Preferred Stock to Amphion.

     The dividends on the Series 1999 Preferred Stock and the Series 2000
Preferred Stock are payable semi-annually in cash or in additional shares of
Series 1999 Preferred Stock or the Series 2000 Preferred Stock, as the case may
be, at the Company's option.

     The Series 1999 Preferred Stock and the Series 2000 Preferred Stock are
both subject to the optional redemption at any time by the Company, in whole or
in part, at a redemption price per share equal to the stated value, plus any
accrued, but unpaid dividends thereon. The Company's optional right of
redemption is subject to each Series 1999 Preferred Stock or Series 2000
Preferred Stock holder's right to convert such Series 1999 Preferred Stock or
Series 2000 Preferred Stock, as the case may be, into voting or non-voting
common stock, as the case may be, within ten business days after the Company's
notice of redemption.

     Prism Video and the Amphion Group agreed not to convert the Series 1999
Preferred Stock and the Series 2000 Non-Voting Preferred Stock, respectively,
until the Company obtains stockholder approval to issue the common stock.

     The Series 1999 Preferred Stock and the Series 2000 Non-Voting Preferred
Stock are also subject to the mandatory conversion by the Company into shares of
the Company's voting or non-voting common stock, as the case may be, if (a) the
closing bid price of the Company's common stock on the NASDAQ SmallCap Market is
at least $7.50 per share for a period of at least twenty (20) consecutive
trading days and (b) the trading volume of the common stock on the NASDAQ
SmallCap Market is at least 50,000 shares per day as measured by NASDAQ during
each of such twenty (20) consecutive trading days.

11. STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS

     The Company has two stock-based compensation plans.

     Under the Company's Stock Option Plan, the Company may grant up to 900,000
shares of common stock to its employees. The exercise price of each option is
not less than the market price of the Company's stock on the date of grant and
an option's maximum term is ten years. Options granted vest over a four-year
period. The Company has issued stock options to various members of the Board of
Directors and officers of the Company under this plan. (The exercise price of
each option is not less than the average market price of the Company's stock
during the thirty trading days immediately prior to the date of grant and the
option term is ten years.) Options are generally granted each year and have
various vesting requirements. During 1998, 27,698 options outstanding under this
plan and a terminated employee stock option plan were canceled and the Company
granted new options to purchase 27,698 shares at an exercise price of $3.00.
Further, the Company canceled options outstanding under a terminated key
employee stock option plan and granted new options primarily with an exercise
price of $3.00. During 1999, the Company made grants of 750,000 options as an
inducement for the employment of certain officers of the Company, which do not
reduce the 900,000 options available for grant under the stock option plan.

     In 1998, the Company adopted a director compensation plan pursuant to which
it pays each director who is not employed by the Company and who does not
beneficially own more than 5% of the shares of common stock outstanding an
annual grant of 5,000 options to acquire common stock of the Company at an
exercise price equal to the fair market value per share of the common stock at
the time the option is granted (the "Annual Grant"). The Annual Grant
customarily occurs on the date of the Company's annual meeting. The director
compensation plan also provided for an one-time initial grant of 15,000 to each
director of the Company as of July 21, 1998, the date the director compensation
plan was approved by the Company's stockholders (the "Initial Grant"). The
Company has authorized 150,000 shares for issuance under this plan. In 1998, the
Company issued a total of 87,500 options pursuant to the terms of the director
compensation plan. The Company issued 60,000 options at an exercise price of
$4.00 for the Initial Grant, 20,000 options at an exercise price of $3.00 for
the Annual Grant and 7,500 options at an exercise price of $4.00 to the one new
director in 1998.

     At December 31, 1999 the Company had 1,216,127 options outstanding with
exercise prices from $2.50 to $4.00 with 9.5 years weighted average remaining

     FAS 123 requires disclosure of pro forma net earnings and net earnings per
common share information computed as if the Company had accounted for its
employee stock options under the fair value method set forth in FAS 123. The
fair value of the Company's outstanding stock options was estimated at the date

11. STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS (CONTINUED)

     The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in
estimating the fair value of traded options which have no vesting restrictions
and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the
input of highly subjective assumptions including expected stock price
volatility. Because, among other things, changes in the subjective input
assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management's
opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable measure of
the fair value of its employee stock options. For purposes of pro forma
disclosures, the estimated fair value of the options is amortized to expense
over the options' vesting periods.

12. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

     On February 28, 1996, an investor group filed suit against the Company.
This lawsuit arose out of the Company's refusal to recognize the investor
group's attempt to exercise an option to purchase 70,000 shares of common stock
at $9.90 per share. The option had been granted to the Company's former
president and chief executive officer that attempted to transfer his option to
an investor group on the last day of the option term in September 1995. On that
same day, the investor group attempted to exercise the option. The Company
refused to recognize the attempted transfer of the option to the investor group
on the primary grounds that the option was granted personally to the Company's
former president and chief executive officer and the Company believed that it
was not transferable to third parties. The lawsuit sought monetary damages that
the investor group alleged to be not less than $2,800,000. In March 1999, the
parties agreed to the principal terms under which the lawsuit would be

settled and dismissed, with prejudice. Under a settlement reached in the third
quarter of 1999, the Company paid out $1,000,000 to the investor group with an
additional $750,000 payable in 2000.

     The Company is also involved in various other claims and lawsuits which are
generally incidental to its business. The Company is vigorously contesting all
such matters and believes that their ultimate resolution will not have a
material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position, results of
operations or cash flows.

13. INCOME TAXES

Due to the Company's losses, no income tax expense was recorded for the years
ended December 31, 1999 and 1998. At December 31, 1999, the Company had a net
operating loss carryforward of approximately $18,000,000 for U.S. federal income
tax purposes, which will begin expiring in 2000. The tax benefit of the
Company's federal net operating loss carryforward (approximately $6,200,000) has
been fully offset by a valuation allowance, because the Company cannot currently
conclude that it is more likely than not that the benefit will be realized. The
valuation allowance increased by approximately $1,200,000 and $5,000,000 during
1999 and 1998, respectively. A change in ownership, as defined for purposes of
the Internal Revenue Code, occurred in 1996 and the Company believes that a
subsequent ownership change occurred during 1998, each of which limit the annual
utilization of the U.S. federal net operating loss carryforward under the
applicable Internal Revenue Service regulations.

         AXCESS Inc. (the "Company"), a corporation organized and existing under
and by virtue of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the

         FIRST: That the Board of Directors of the Corporation duly adopted
resolutions setting forth the following amendment to the Certificate of
Incorporation of the Corporation (the "Amendment"), declaring the Amendment to
be advisable and calling for the submission of the proposed Amendment to the
stockholders of the Corporation for consideration thereof. The resolution

         RESOLVED, that Article FOURTH, paragraphs (a) and (c)(C)(4) of the
Certificate of Incorporation are hereby amended to read in their entirety as
follows:

         "FOURTH: (a) the total number of shares of capital stock that the

Directors, an annual meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation was duly
called and held, upon notice in accordance with Section 222 of the DGCL, at
which meeting the necessary number of shares as required by statute were voted

                         PREFERENCES, POWERS AND RIGHTS

                                       OF

                     SERIES 2000 NON-VOTING PREFERRED STOCK

                                       OF

                                   AXCESS INC.

                         Pursuant to Section 151 of the
                             General Corporation Law
                            of the State of Delaware

         AXCESS INC., a corporation organized and existing under the General
Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the "Company"), hereby certifies that,
pursuant to the authority contained in Article Fourth of its Certificate of
Incorporation, as amended, and in accordance with the provisions of Sections 103
and 151 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, its Board of
Directors has adopted the following resolution providing for the issuance of the
Series 2000 Non-Voting Preferred Stock:

         RESOLVED, that a series of the class of authorized preferred stock of
the Company is hereby created and the Board of Directors hereby fixes the
designation and amount thereof, and the voting powers, preferences and relative,
participating, optional and other special rights of the shares of such series,
and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof as follows:

         SECTION 1.  DESIGNATION AND AMOUNT. The shares of such series shall
have a par value of $0.01 per share and shall be designated as Series 2000
Non-Voting Preferred Stock and the number of shares constituting the Series 2000
Non-Voting Preferred Stock shall be TWO THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED (2,500). The
Series 2000 Non-Voting Preferred Stock shall have a stated value of Ten Thousand
Dollars ($10,000) per share (the "Original Issue Price").

         SECTION 2.  RANK. The Series 2000 Non-Voting Preferred Stock shall
rank: (a) junior to any other class or series of capital stock of the Company
hereafter created specifically ranking by its terms senior to the Series 2000
Non-Voting Preferred Stock (collectively the "Senior Securities"); (b) prior to
all of the Company's Common Stock and Non-Voting Common Stock, each $0.01 par
value per share (the "Common Stock"); (c) prior to any class or series of
capital stock of the Company hereafter created not specifically ranking by its
terms senior to or on parity with the Series 2000 Non-Voting Preferred Stock
(collectively, with the Common Stock, the "Junior Securities"); and (d) on a
parity with the Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C
Preferred Stock, Series I Preferred Stock, Series J Preferred Stock, Series 1999
Voting Preferred Stock, Series 1999 Non-Voting Preferred Stock of the Company,
and any class or series of capital stock of the Company hereafter created
specifically ranking by its terms on a parity with the Series 2000 Non-




<PAGE>   2

Voting Preferred Stock (the "Parity Securities"), in each case as to
distributions of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
Company, whether voluntary or involuntary (all such distributions being referred
to collectively as "Distributions").

         SECTION 3. DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS.

              (a) Subject to Section 3(d), the holders of record of shares of
Series 2000 Non-Voting Preferred Stock (the "Holders"), in preference to the
holders of shares of capital stock ranking junior to the Series 2000 Non-Voting
Preferred Stock as to dividends, shall be entitled to receive dividends on each
share of Series 2000 Non-Voting Preferred Stock held of record at the annual
rate of 8% of the Original Issue Price, payable semi-annually, to the extent of
funds legally available therefor. Such dividends shall be cumulative, shall
accrue on each share on a daily basis (calculated on the basis of a 360-day
year, whether or not earned or declared, from the date of original issue of such
shares) and shall be payable in arrears, when as and if declared by the Board of
Directors, on the last day of June and December in each year (each such date, a
"Dividend Payment Date"). Each such dividend will be paid to the Holders as they
appear on the stock register of the Company on the record date therefor as shall
be fixed by the Board of Directors, which record date shall not be more than 25
days or less than 10 days preceding the payment date thereof.

              (b) The Company may, at its option, make any dividend payment to
Holders of Series 2000 Non-Voting Preferred Stock in cash or in additional
shares (including fractional shares) of Series 2000 Non-Voting Preferred Stock
or in any combination of cash and such shares. Each such dividend payment (or
portion thereof) to be paid in shares of Series 2000 Non-Voting Preferred Stock
shall be paid by the issuance and delivery to such Holders of that number of
additional shares (including any fractional shares, if applicable) of Series
2000 Non-Voting Preferred Stock as shall be equal to the quotient obtained by
dividing the aggregate dollar amount of such dividend payment (or portion
thereof) by the Original Issue Price per share. Dividends to be paid in
additional shares of Series 2000 Non-Voting Preferred Stock shall be deemed to
have been made when certificates representing such additional shares of Series
2000 Non-Voting Preferred Stock have been delivered to the record holders of the
Series 2000 Non-Voting Preferred Stock entitled to receive the same, in
accordance with the instructions of such holders designated in writing to the
Company at least two business days prior to any Dividend Payment Date. All
shares of Series 2000 Non-Voting Preferred Stock paid as such dividends (the
"Dividend Shares") shall be validly issued, fully paid and non_assessable, shall
be free and clear of preemptive rights and liens, claims and encumbrances of any
kind. Subject to the other provisions of this Certificate of Designation,
holders of shares of Series 2000 Non-Voting Preferred Stock shall not be
entitled to any dividend, whether payable in cash, additional shares of Series
2000 Non-Voting Preferred Stock or other property, in excess of full cumulative
dividends as herein provided. No interest, or sum of money in lieu of interest,
shall be payable under this Certificate of Designation in respect of any
dividend payment or payments on the Series 2000 Non-Voting Preferred Stock which
may be in arrears.

              (c) So long as any Series 2000 Non-Voting Preferred Stock remains
outstanding, the Company will not redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire any
Junior Securities; nor will the Company declare or pay any dividend or make any
distribution (in each case, whether in cash or securities or assets in kind)
upon any Junior Securities (other than stock dividends on Junior Securities,
payable in shares of, options, warrants or similar rights to acquire shares of,
the same

                                       2

<PAGE>   3

class (and series, if applicable) of Junior Securities), or make any sinking
fund or other payment in respect of any of the foregoing if the Company shall
not have paid in full all accrued dividends on the Series 2000 Non-Voting
Preferred Stock in accordance with Section 3(a) hereof.

              (d) Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if
at any time that any shares of Series 2000 Non-Voting Preferred Stock are
outstanding, the closing bid price per share of the Common Stock on the Nasdaq
Stock Market (or, if the Common Stock is not then included in Nasdaq, but is
listed on any national securities exchange, on the principal national securities
exchange on which the Common Stock is the listed) remains above $20.00 per share
(as adjusted for any stock splits, reverse stock splits, stock dividends or
similar events after the date of this Certificate of Designation) for twenty
(20) consecutive trading days, then, commencing on such 20th trading day, the
cumulative dividend will not be payable; provided, however, that, if the closing
bid price per share of the Common Stock remains thereafter below $20.00 for
twenty (20) consecutive trading days (as so adjusted), then the dividend will
resume as of such 20th day.

         SECTION 4.  LIQUIDATION PREFERENCE.

              (a) In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of
the Company (each a "Liquidation Preference"), either voluntary or involuntary,
the Holders of shares of Series 2000 Non-Voting Preferred Stock shall be
entitled to receive, immediately after any distributions to Senior Securities
required by the Company's Certificate of Incorporation or any certificate of
designation, and prior in preference to any distribution to Junior Securities,
and in parity with any distribution to Parity Securities, an amount for each
share of Series 2000 Non-Voting Preferred Stock then outstanding equal to the
Original Issue Price, plus any and all accrued unpaid dividends. If upon the
occurrence of such event, and after payment in full of the preferential amounts
with respect to the Senior Securities, the assets and funds available to be
distributed among the Holders of the Series 2000 Non-Voting Preferred Stock and
Parity Securities shall be insufficient to permit the payment to such Holders of
the full preferential amounts due to the Holders of the Series 2000 Non-Voting
Preferred Stock and the Parity Securities, respectively, then the entire assets
and funds of the Company legally available for distribution shall be distributed
among the Holders of the Series 2000 Non-Voting Preferred Stock and the Parity
Securities, pro rata, based on the respective liquidation amounts to which each
such series of stock is entitled by the Company's Certificate of Incorporation
and any certificate(s) of designation relating thereto.

              (b) Upon the completion of the distribution required by Section
4(a), if assets remain in the Company, they shall be distributed to holders of
Junior Securities in accordance with the Company's Certificate of Incorporation
including any duly adopted certificate(s) of designation relating thereto.

              (c) At each Holder's option, a sale, conveyance or disposition of
all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or the effectuation by the
Company of a transaction or series of related transactions in which any person
or entity acquires more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting power of the
Company (a "Change of Control") shall be deemed to be a Liquidation Event as
described in Section 4(a); provided further that (i) a consolidation, merger,
acquisition, or other business combination of the Company with or into any other
publicly traded company or companies shall not be treated as a Liquidation Event
as defined in Section 4(a), but instead shall

                                       3

<PAGE>   4

be treated pursuant to Section 5(d)(ii) hereof, (ii) the acquisition by Amphion
Ventures L.P., by itself or along with one or more of its affiliates, of more
than fifty percent (50%) of the voting power of the Company shall not be deemed
to be a Change of Control and, accordingly, will not be treated as a Liquidation
Event as defined in Section 4(a) and (iii) a consolidation, merger, acquisition
or other business combination of the Company with or into any other non_publicly
traded company or companies shall be treated as a Liquidation Event as defined
in Section 4(a). The Company shall not effect any transaction described in
Section 4(c)(ii) unless it first gives thirty (30) business days' prior notice
of such transaction (during which time the Holder shall be entitled to convert
its shares of Series 2000 Non-Voting Preferred Stock into non_voting Common
Stock). For purposes of this Section 4(c), the public offering, sale or
distribution of shares of stock (or assets) of the Company's Sandia Imaging
Systems Corporation subsidiary shall not be deemed to be a Liquidation Event.

              (d) In the event that, immediately prior to the closing of a
transaction described in Section 4(c) which would constitute a Liquidation
Event, the cash distributions required by Section 4(a) have not been made, the
Company shall either: (i) cause such closing to be postponed until such cash
distributions have been made, or (ii) cancel such transaction, in which event
the rights of the Holders of Series 2000 Non-Voting Preferred Stock shall be the
same as existing immediately prior to such proposed transaction.

         SECTION 5.  CONVERSION. The record Holders of this Series 2000
Non-Voting Preferred Stock shall have conversion rights as follows (the
"Conversion Rights").

              (a) Right to Convert. On the terms and subject to the conditions
set forth in this Certificate of Designation, each record Holder of Series 2000
Non-Voting Preferred Stock shall be entitled to convert the shares of Series
2000 Non-Voting Preferred Stock held by such Holder, in whole at any time and in
part from time to time, into a number of fully_paid and non_assessable shares of
non_voting Common Stock of the Company equal to the quotient of (i) the
aggregate Original Issue Price of the shares of Series 2000 Non-Voting Preferred
Stock being converted divided by (ii) the Conversion Price as determined
pursuant to this Section 5 (the "Conversion Price"). The Conversion Price shall
initially be THREE DOLLARS AND FIFTY CENTS ($3.50) per share of Series 2000
Non-Voting Preferred Stock. The Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment
from time to time as provided in Section 5(d). Notwithstanding the foregoing or
any other term or provision of this Certificate of Designation, the Holder shall
not be permitted, without the prior written consent of the Company, to convert
any shares of the Series 2000 Non-Voting Preferred Stock to shares of non_voting
Common Stock until such time as the Company shall have received authorization of
its stockholders to issue shares of the Company's non_voting Common Stock to the
Holder upon the conversion by the Holder of any share of Series 2000 Non-Voting
Preferred Stock. The Company hereby agrees to submit such a proposal to its
stockholders for approval at the Company's 2000 annual meeting of stockholders
and to use its best efforts to obtain such approval.

              (b) Mechanics of Conversion. Subject to the terms of Section 5(a)
above, the conversion of shares of Series 2000 Non-Voting Preferred Stock may be
effected by written notice to the Company, and shall be effective upon receipt
of such notice by the Company, or as otherwise provided in such notice, and
delivery to the Company of (i) one or more certificates representing the shares
of Series 2000 Non-Voting Preferred Stock being converted, (ii) a certificate of
guaranteed

                                       4

<PAGE>   5

delivery of such certificates reasonably satisfactory to the Company, or (iii)
evidence of the loss, theft or destruction of such certificates pursuant to
Section 11 of this Certificate of Designation, together with any indemnity or
security reasonably requested by the Company pursuant to such Section 11. Upon
any conversion of shares of Series 2000 Non-Voting Preferred Stock pursuant to
this Section 5, the Holder shall be deemed to be the record holder of the shares
of non_voting Common Stock into which shares of Series 2000 Non-Voting Preferred
Stock have been converted and shall be entitled to receive duly executed
certificates, in proper form, representing such shares of non_voting Common
Stock as soon as practicable thereafter. Anything contained herein to the
contrary notwithstanding, if any conversion of shares of Series 2000 Non-Voting
Preferred Stock would create a fractional share of non_voting Common Stock or a
right to acquire a fractional share of non_voting Common Stock, such fractional
share shall be disregarded and the number of shares of non_voting Common Stock
issuable upon such conversion, in the aggregate, shall be rounded up to the
nearest whole number of shares.

              (c) Reservation of Stock Issuable Upon Conversion. The Company
shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued
shares of non_voting Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the
conversion of the Series 2000 Non-Voting Preferred Stock, such number of its
shares of non_voting Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to
effect the conversion of all then outstanding Series 2000 Non-Voting Preferred
Stock. If at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of non_voting
Common Stock (excluding for this purpose any authorized but unissued shares of
non_voting Common Stock that are properly reserved for some other purpose) shall
be insufficient to cause the conversion into non_voting Common Stock of all
shares of Series 2000 Non-Voting Preferred Stock then outstanding, the Company
will take such corporate action as may be reasonably necessary to increase its
authorized but unissued shares of non-voting Common Stock to such number of
shares as shall be sufficient for such purpose.

              (d) Adjustment to Conversion Price.

                   (i)  Adjustment to Conversion Price Due to Stock Split
Dividend, Etc. If, at any time that any shares of Series 2000 Non-Voting
Preferred Stock remain outstanding, the number of outstanding shares of
non-voting Common Stock is increased by a stock split, stock dividend, or other
similar event, the Conversion Price shall be proportionately reduced, or if the
number of outstanding shares of non-voting Common Stock is decreased by a
reverse stock split, combination or reclassification of shares, or other similar
event, the Conversion Price shall be proportionately increased.

                   (ii) Adjustment Due to Merger, Consolidation, Etc. If, at
any time that any shares of Series 2000 Non-Voting Preferred Stock remain
outstanding, there shall be any merger, consolidation, exchange of shares,
recapitalization, reorganization, or other similar event, as a result of which
shares of non-voting Common Stock of the Company shall be changed into the same
or a different number of shares of the same or another class or classes of stock
or securities of the Company or another entity, or there is a sale of all or
substantially all the Company's assets or there is a Change of Control not
deemed to be a Liquidation Event pursuant to Section 4(c), then the Holders
shall thereafter have the right to receive upon conversion of shares of Series
2000 Non-Voting Preferred Stock, upon the basis and upon the terms and
conditions specified herein and in lieu

                                       5

<PAGE>   6
of the shares of non-voting Common Stock immediately theretofore issuable upon
conversion, such stock, securities and/or other assets which the Holder would
have been entitled to receive in such transaction had such shares of Series 2000
Non-Voting Preferred Stock been converted immediately prior to such transaction,
and in any such case appropriate provisions shall be made with respect to the
rights and interests of the Holders of the Series 2000 Non-Voting Preferred
Stock to the end that the provisions hereof (including, without limitation,
provisions for the adjustment of the Conversion Price and of the number of
shares issuable upon conversion of the Series 2000 Non-Voting Preferred Stock)
shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as may be practicable in relation to
any securities thereafter deliverable upon the exercise hereof. The Company
shall not effect any transaction described in this Section 5(d)(ii) unless (A)
it first gives thirty (30) business days' prior notice to Holders of such
merger, consolidation, exchange of shares, recapitalization, reorganization, or
other similar event (during which time the Holders shall be entitled to convert
their shares of Series 2000 Non-Voting Preferred Stock into non-voting Common
Stock) and (B) the resulting successor or acquiring entity (if not the Company)
assumes by written instrument the obligations of the Company under this
Certificate of Designation including this Section 5(d)(ii).

         SECTION 6. VOTING. The Holders shall not be entitled to vote on any
matter submitted to a vote of the stockholders of the Company, or as to which
the holders of the voting Common Stock shall otherwise be entitled to vote. As
used in this Section 6, all references to votes and voting shall refer as well
to action and actions by written consent.

         SECTION 7.  OPTIONAL REDEMPTION BY COMPANY. The Series 2000 Non-Voting
Preferred Stock shall be subject to the optional redemption by the Company, in
whole at any time or in part from time to time, at a redemption price per share
equal to the Original Issue Price, plus any and all accrued unpaid dividends
thereon. The Company shall give at least ten (10) days' prior written notice of
any redemption pursuant to this Section 7 to each Holder of shares of Series
2000 Non-Voting Preferred Stock to be redeemed. The Company's optional right of
redemption is subject to each Holder's right to convert all or any part of the
shares to be redeemed into non-voting Common Stock pursuant to Section 5,
provided that the Holder gives written notice of such conversion to the Company
in accordance with Section 5 within ten (10) business days after the Company's
notice of redemption. The Holders of Series 2000 Non-Voting Preferred Stock
shall not be entitled to any mandatory redemption of their Series 2000
Non-Voting Preferred Stock without the consent of the Company.

         SECTION 8.  MANDATORY CONVERSION BY COMPANY. Each share of Series 2000
Non-Voting Preferred Stock shall automatically convert into that number of
fully-paid and non_assessable shares of non-voting Common Stock of the Company
equal to the Original Issue Price plus all accrued, but unpaid dividends
thereon, divided by the Conversion Price (subject to adjustment from time to
time as provided in Section 5(d)), upon (a) the closing bid price per share of
the Common Stock on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market (or, if the Common Stock is not
then included in Nasdaq, but is listed on any national securities exchange, on
the principal national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is then
listed) having reached and remained above $7.50 per share for a period of twenty
(20) consecutive trading days and (b) the trading volume of the Common Stock on
Nasdaq or other securities exchange was at least 50,000 shares per day as
measured by Nasdaq or other securities exchange during each of such twenty (20)
consecutive trading days.

         SECTION 9. STATUS OF CONVERTED OR REDEEMED STOCK. In the event any
shares of Series 2000 Non-Voting Preferred Stock shall be converted pursuant to
either Section 5 or 8 hereof or redeemed pursuant to Section 7 hereof, the
shares so converted or redeemed shall be canceled, shall return to the status of
authorized but unissued Preferred Stock of no designated series, and shall not
thereafter be issuable by the Company as Series 2000 Non-Voting Preferred Stock.

         SECTION 10. OTHER PREFERRED STOCK. Nothing contained herein shall be
construed to prevent the Board of Directors from authorizing the creation of, or
to prevent the Company from issuing shares of, one or more series of Preferred
Stock junior to or on parity with the Series 2000 Non-Voting Preferred Stock as
to dividend, liquidation rights or otherwise.

         SECTION 11. LOST OR STOLEN CERTIFICATES. Upon receipt by the Company of
evidence of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any certificates
representing shares of Series 2000 Non-Voting Preferred Stock, and (in the case
of loss, theft or destruction) of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory
to the Company, and upon surrender and cancellation of the certificate(s), if
mutilated, the Company shall execute and deliver to the record Holder thereof
new certificate(s) of like tenor and date. However, the Company shall not be
obligated to re-issue such lost or stolen certificates if the Holder
contemporaneously requests the Company to convert such shares of Series 2000
Non-Voting Preferred Stock into shares of non-voting Common Stock.

         SECTION 12. FRACTIONAL SHARES. In the event a Holder of Series 2000
Non-Voting Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive a fractional interest in
a share of Series 2000 Non-Voting Preferred Stock of less than one one-hundredth
of one share, except as otherwise provided herein, the Company shall either, in
the sole discretion of the Board of Directors, (a) round such fractional
interest up to the next one-hundredth of one whole share of Series 2000
Non-Voting Preferred Stock or (b) deliver cash in the amount of the fair market
value (as determined by the Board of Directors or in any manner prescribed by
the Board of Directors) of such fractional interest.

         SECTION 13. PREEMPTIVE RIGHTS. The Holders of Series 2000 Non-voting
Preferred Stock are not entitled to any preemptive or subscription rights in
respect of any securities of the Company.

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, AXCESS Inc. has caused this certificate to be
signed by its Chief Financial Officer and attested by its Assistant Secretary,
as of the 29th day of December 1999.

AXCESS Inc.                                                    December 30, 1999

              "Convertible Note") and the Series A, B and C Preferred Stock
              Dividends

Ladies and Gentlemen:

         Under the terms of the Convertible Note, Amphion Ventures has the
option to convert all or a portion of the outstanding balance of the Convertible
Note into shares of the Company's Series 1999 Non-Voting Preferred Stock.
Amphion Ventures and the Company hereby desire to amend the Convertible Note
such that $3,323,423.29 of the outstanding principal balance of the Convertible
Note shall be convertible into a new Series 2000 Non-Voting Preferred Stock
instead of the Series 1999 Non-Voting Preferred Stock. The balance of the
Convertible Note (up to $2,676,576.71) may, at the option of Amphion Ventures,
be convertible into shares of the Company's Series 1999 Non-Voting preferred
Stock.

         Amphion Ventures also desires to have the Company pay all accrued, but
unpaid dividends which are outstanding as of the date of this letter on the
shares of Series A, B, and C Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company held by
Amphion Ventures (approximately $94,500; collectively the "Accrued Dividends")
in kind by issuing to Amphion Ventures additional shares of Series A, B or C
Preferred Stock, respectively, of the Company. Further, Amphion Ventures would
like the Company to exchange the additional shares of Series A, B, and C
Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company for 9.45 shares of the Company's
Series J Non-Voting Preferred Stock.

         1. Amendment to Convertible Note; Conversion of Convertible Debt.
Amphion Ventures and the Company hereby agree to amend the Convertible Note by
permitting Amphion Ventures to convert $3,323,423.29 of the outstanding
principal balance of the Convertible Note into shares of the Company's Series
2000 Non-Voting Preferred Stock. The certificates of Designations, Preferences,
Powers and Rights of the Series 2000 Non-Voting Preferred Stock is attached
hereto as Exhibit "A." Accordingly, Amphion Ventures hereby elects to convert
$3,323,423.29 of the Convertible Note into 332.34 shares of the Series 2000
Non-Voting Preferred Stock (the "Series 2000 Shares"). Subject to Section 3
below, the Company hereby consents to the conversion and agrees to issue those
shares to Amphion Ventures. Other than as set forth in this Section 1, the
balance of the Convertible Note shall remain subject to the terms thereof.

         2. Payment of Accrued Dividends; Issuance of Shares. Amphion Ventures
hereby directs the Company to issue 9.45 shares of Series J Non-Voting Preferred
Stock in exchange for the shares of Series A, B and C Convertible Preferred
Stock, respectively, issued to Amphion Ventures as payment in full for the
Accrued Dividends (the "Series J Shares"). On and as of the date of this letter,
the Accrued Dividends shall automatically be converted and discharged in full
and Amphion

the Series 2000 Shares.

         3. Conversion of Preferred Stock to Non-Voting Common Stock. Amphion
Ventures hereby agrees that it shall not, without the prior written consent of
the Company, convert any of the Series J Shares or the Series 2000 Shares to
Non-Voting Common Stock of the Company.

         4. Securities Act Legend; Registration Rights.

                  4.1 The Series J Shares and the Series 2000 Shares
(hereinafter collectively, the "Shares") will not be registered under the

representing the Shares shall bear a restrictive legend substantially to the
effect of the following:

         THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE
         SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, OR THE
         SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. THEY MAY NOT BE SOLD OR
         TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER
         THOSE SECURITIES LAWS OR PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION THEREFROM. ADDITIONAL
         RESTRICTIONS REGARDING THE TERMS UNDER WHICH THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY
         THIS CERTIFICATE MAY BE CONVERTED INTO VOTING OR NON-VOTING COMMON
         STOCK OF THE COMPANY, AS THE CASE MAY BE, ARE SET FORTH IN THE
         RESPECTIVE CERTIFICATES OF DESIGNATIONS, PREFERENCES, POWERS AND RIGHTS
         FOR THE SHARES.

         5. Representations and Warranties by the Company. The Company hereby
represents and warrants to Amphion Ventures as follows:

                  5.1 The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, and has
the corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this agreement, to
issue the Shares on the basis described herein and otherwise to perform its
obligations under this agreement.

                  5.2 The execution and delivery by the Company of this letter
agreement, the issuance of the Shares, and the performance by the Company of its
obligations hereunder, have been duly authorized by all requisite corporate
action on the part of the Company and will not (a) violate any provision of law,
statute, rule or regulation or any order of any court or other agency of
government, (b) conflict with or violate the Certificate of Incorporation or
By-Laws of the Company, in each case as amended, or (c) violate, conflict with
or constitute (with due notice or lapse of time or both) a default under any
indenture, mortgage, lease, license, agreement or other contract or instrument
or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance of
any nature upon the properties or assets of the Company or any of its
subsidiaries, in each case if such violation, conflict, default, lien, charge or
encumbrance would have a material adverse effect on the Company.

<PAGE>   3

                  5.3 This letter agreement has been duly executed and delivered
by the Company and constitutes the valid and legally binding obligation of the
Company, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except to the extent the
enforceability hereof may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, moratorium or
similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally.

                  5.4 Based in part upon the representations and warranties of
Amphion Ventures contained in this letter agreement, no registration or filing
with, or consent or approval of, or other action by, any federal, state or other
governmental department, commission, board, bureau, agency or instrumentality or
any third party is or will be necessary for the execution and delivery of this
agreement by the Company and the issuance of the Shares hereunder, other than
the filing of a notice of sale on Form D with the Securities and Exchange
Commission in accordance with the rules and regulations thereof under the
Securities Act.

                  5.5 The Shares are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid
and non-assessable shares of Series J Non-Voting Preferred Stock or Series 2000
Non-Voting Preferred Stock, as the case may be, and are not subject to any
preemptive rights.

         6. Representations and Warranties of Amphion Ventures. Amphion Ventures
hereby represents and warrants to the Company as follows:

                  6.1 Amphion Ventures is acquiring the Shares for its own
account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution thereof within
the meaning of the Securities Act.

                  6.2 Amphion Ventures understands that the Shares have not been
registered under the Securities Act, by reason of their issuance by the Company
in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act,
and that the Shares must be held by Amphion Ventures indefinitely unless a
subsequent disposition thereof is registered under the Securities Act or is
exempt from such registration.

                  6.3 Amphion Ventures further understands that the exemption
from registration afforded by Rule 144 (the provisions of which are known to it)
promulgated under the Securities Act depends on the satisfaction of various
conditions, and that, if applicable, Rule 144 may afford the basis for sales
only in limited amounts, after compliance with the holding periods and other
provisions thereof.

                  6.4 Amphion Ventures understands that its investment hereunder
involves substantial risks and represents and warrants that it has made such
independent examinations and investigations of the Company as it has deemed
necessary in making its investment decision, and Amphion Ventures further
represents and warrants that it has had sufficient access to the officers,
directors, books and records of the Company as it has deemed necessary to
conduct such examination and investigation and make such investment decision.

                  6.5 Amphion Ventures is able to bear the economic risk of the
investment contemplated by this agreement and has such knowledge and experience
in financial and business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits
and risks of the investment contemplated by this agreement.

     (collectively, the "Warrant Holder"), in consideration for it making
     advances to AXCESS Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company") pursuant to
     the terms of that certain Convertible Note of even date herewith executed
     by the Company payable to the Warrant Holder in the stated principal amount
     of up to $6,000,000 (the "Note");

B.   The total number of shares of the Company's Non-Voting Common Stock (as
     defined in Section 9(a) hereof) (the "Warrant Shares") to be issued to the
     Warrant Holder in consideration of its advances to the Company under the
     Note shall be based upon ten percent (10%) of the outstanding principal
     balance of the Note on the date hereof and on each of the first two
     anniversary dates of the Note. Each Warrant shall be in the form hereof,
     with the exception that the Warrant Shares to be granted upon the exercise
     of each such Warrant shall be exercisable at any time and from time to time
     on or prior to the date which is five years from the date of issuance of
     each such Warrant; and

C.   The number of Warrant Shares to be issued on the date hereof and on each of
     the first two anniversary dates of the Note shall be determined by dividing
     ten percent (10%) of the principal balance of the Note on each applicable
     date by $2.10. The aggregate number of Warrant Shares to be issued under
     the series of Warrants shall not, however, exceed 857,143 Warrant Shares
     (subject to the antidilution provisions of the Warrants).

     THIS CERTIFIES THAT, for value received, the Warrant Holder is entitled to
purchase from the Company, 180,362 Warrant Shares at the exercise price of Two
Dollars and Ten Cents ($2.10) per share (the "Exercise Price"). The number of
Warrant Shares and the Exercise Price shall be adjusted and readjusted or
changed from time to time in accordance with Section 4 hereof.

     This Warrant may be exercised at any time and from time to time on or prior
to September 30, 2004.

     SECTION 1. EXERCISE OF WARRANT.

     The rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised by the Warrant
Holder, in whole or in part, by (a) delivering to the Company a duly executed
notice of exercise in the form of Annex A hereto and (b) at the Warrant Holder's
option, either (i) delivering a check payable to (or wire transfer to the
account of) the Company in an amount equal to the product of (x) the Exercise
Price times (y) the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant is being
exercised (such product, the "Total Exercise Price") or (ii) delivering to the
Company a letter (the "Conversion Letter") requesting conversion or exchange of
a portion of any indebtedness owed by the Company to the Warrant Holder in an
amount equal to the Total Exercise Price or (iii) surrendering to the Company a
portion of this Warrant with a "Value" (as defined below) equal to the Total
Exercise Price. For the purpose of clause (b) (iii) above, "Value" shall mean
the product of (I) the amount by which the average closing price per share of
the Company's Common Stock over the ten trading days preceding the date of
exercise, as reported in The Wall Street Journal, exceeds the Exercise Price and
(II) the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant is surrendered for
the purpose of effecting payment for Warrant Shares. This Warrant shall be
deemed to have been exercised immediately prior to the close of business on the
date of delivery of a duly executed notice of exercise together with the amount
(in cash or by delivering the Conversion Letter or by surrender of a portion of
this Warrant) payable upon exercise of this Warrant and, as of such moment, (i)
the rights of the Warrant Holder, as such, with respect to the number of Warrant
Shares as to which this Warrant is being exercised (and, if applicable,
surrendered as payment of the Total Exercise Price) shall cease, and (ii) such
Warrant Holder shall be deemed to be the record holder of the shares of
Non-Voting Common Stock issuable upon such exercise. As soon as practicable
after the exercise, in whole or in part, of this Warrant, and in any event
within 5 business days thereafter, the Company at its expense (including the
payment by it of any applicable issuance or stamp taxes) will cause to be issued
in the name of and delivered to the Warrant Holder, or as the Warrant Holder
(upon payment by the Warrant Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may
direct, a certificate or certificates for the number of fully paid and
nonassessable shares of Non-Voting Common Stock to which the Warrant Holder
shall be entitled upon such exercise. In the event of partial exercise of this
Warrant and, if applicable, partial surrender of this Warrant pursuant to clause
(b)(iii) of this Section, the Warrant need not be delivered to the Company;
provided that the Warrant Holder agrees to make a notation of such partial
exercise and, if applicable, surrender on the Warrant. If this Warrant is
delivered to the Company, the Company shall issue and deliver to the Warrant
Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights to purchase the remaining Warrant
Shares, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical to this
Warrant.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other term or provision of this
Warrant, the Warrant Holder shall not be permitted, without the prior written
consent of the Company, to exercise its rights to acquire Warrant Shares
hereunder until such time as the Company shall have received the authorization
of its stockholders to issue Warrant Shares to the Warrant Holder upon the
exercise of all or any portion of this Warrant by the Warrant Holder. The
Company hereby agrees to submit such a proposal to its stockholders for approval
at the Company's 2000 annual meeting of stockholders and to use its best efforts
to obtain such approval.

     SECTION 2. INVESTMENT REPRESENTATION.

     By accepting this Warrant, the Warrant Holder represents that the Warrant
Holder is acquiring this Warrant for investment purposes and will not sell or
otherwise dispose of this Warrant or the underlying Warrant Shares in violation
of applicable securities laws. The Warrant Holder acknowledges that the
certificates representing any Warrant Shares will bear a legend indicating that
they have not been registered under the Act, and may not be sold by the Warrant
Holder except pursuant to an effective registration statement or pursuant to an
exemption from registration.

     SECTION 3. VALIDITY OF WARRANT AND ISSUE OF SHARES.

     The Company represents and warrants that this Warrant has been duly
authorized and validly issued and covenants and agrees that all shares of
Non-Voting Common Stock that may be issued upon the exercise of the rights
represented by this Warrant will, when issued upon such exercise, be duly
authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all
taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof. The Company further
covenants and agrees that during the period within which the rights represented
by this Warrant may be exercised, the Company will at all times have authorized
and reserved a sufficient number of shares of Non-Voting Common Stock to provide
for the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant.

     SECTION 4. ANTIDILUTION PROVISIONS.

     The terms of this Warrant shall be subject to adjustment as follows:

     (a) If the Company shall (i) pay a stock dividend or make a distribution to
holders of Non- Voting Common Stock or common stock in shares of its Non-Voting
Common Stock or common stock, as the case may be, (ii) subdivide its outstanding
shares of Non-Voting Common Stock or common stock, (iii) combine its outstanding
shares of Non-Voting Common Stock or common stock into a smaller number of
shares, or (iv) issue by reclassification of its shares of Non-Voting Common
Stock or common stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, (A) the
Exercise Price shall be increased or decreased as the case may be, to an amount
which shall bear the same relation to the Exercise Price in effect immediately
prior to such action as the total number of shares outstanding immediately prior
to such action shall bear to the total number of shares outstanding immediately
after such action and (B) this Warrant automatically shall be adjusted so that
it shall thereafter evidence the right to purchase the kind and number of
Warrant Shares or other securities which the Warrant Holder would have owned and
would have been entitled to receive after such action if this Warrant had been
exercised immediately prior to such action or any record date with respect
thereto. An adjustment made pursuant to this subsection shall become effective


                                       -3-
<PAGE>   4


retroactively immediately after the record date in the case of a dividend or
distribution of Non-Voting Common Stock or common stock and shall become
effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision,
combination or reclassification.

     (b) If the Company shall fix a record date for the making of a distribution
to all holders of Non-Voting Common Stock or its common stock (including any
such distribution made in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the
Company is the continuing corporation) of (i) assets (other than cash dividends
or cash distributions payable out of consolidated net income or retained
earnings or dividends payable in Non-Voting Common Stock or common stock), (ii)
evidences of indebtedness or other debt or equity securities of the Company, or
of any corporation other than the Company (except for the Non-Voting Common
Stock or common stock of the Company) or (iii) subscription rights, options or
warrants to purchase any of the foregoing assets or securities, whether or not
such rights, options or warrants are immediately exercisable (hereinafter
collectively called "Distributions on Common Stock"), the Company shall make
provisions for the Warrant Holder to receive upon exercise of this Warrant, a
proportional amount (depending upon the extent to which this Warrant is
exercised) of such assets, evidences of indebtedness, securities or such other
rights, as if such Warrant Holder had exercised this Warrant on or before such
record date.

     (c) In the case of any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into
another corporation or the sale of all or substantially all the assets of the
Company to another person or entity, this Warrant thereafter shall be
exercisable for the kind and amount of shares of stock or other securities or
property to which a holder of the number of shares of Non-Voting Common Stock of
the Company deliverable upon exercise of this Warrant would have been entitled
upon such consolidation, merger or sale; and, in such case, appropriate
adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions in this Section 4,
to the end that the provisions set forth in this Section 4 (including provisions
with respect to changes in and adjustments of the exercise price) shall
thereafter be applicable, as nearly as reasonably may be, in relation to any
shares of stock or other securities or property thereafter deliverable upon the
exercise of this Warrant.

     (d) Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the exercise
price or any change in the number of Warrant Shares or in the shares of stock or
other securities or property deliverable upon exercise of this Warrant pursuant
to this Section 4, the Company at its expense shall promptly compute such
adjustment or readjustment and change in accordance with the terms hereof and
furnish to each holder hereof a certificate signed by the Chief Financial
Officer of the Company, setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and change
and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment and
change is based. The Company shall, upon the written request at any time of the
Warrant Holder, furnish or cause to be furnished to such Holder, a similar
certificate setting forth (i) such adjustment or readjustment and change, (ii)
the Exercise Price then in effect, and (iii) the number of Warrant Shares and
the amount, if any, of other shares of stock and other securities and property
which would be received upon the exercise of the Warrant.

     (e) The Company shall not be required upon the exercise of this Warrant to
issue any fraction of shares, but shall make any adjustment therefor by rounding
the number of shares obtainable upon exercise to the next highest whole number
of shares.

                                                                  EXHIBIT 10.19

                              EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

         This Agreement is made and entered into this 16th day of July, 1999, by
and between AXCESS Inc. ("Company") and Allen Griebenow ("Employee").

         The following recitals are true and constitute the basis for this
Agreement:

         A.       Pursuant to the terms of that certain Asset Purchase Agreement
                  dated July 15, 999, by and between the Company and Prism
                  Video, Inc. (the "Asset Purchase Agreement"), the Company
                  acquired substantially all of the assets previously used by
                  Prism Video, Inc. in connection with the operation of its
                  video products business;

         B.       Employee possesses significant knowledge and information in
                  matters related to the operation of the video products
                  business, which knowledge and information will be increased,
                  developed and enhanced through his employment by the Company;
                  and

         C.       Without the Employee's agreement to enter into this Agreement
                  with the Company, the Company would not have entered into the
                  Asset Purchase Agreement or agreed to consummate the
                  transactions contemplated thereby.

         NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of employment and other good and
valuable consideration, which is acknowledged to be sufficient, the parties
agree as follows:

         1. TERM. Employee's employment with the Company is "at-will" and this
Agreement may be terminated at any time by either the Employee or the Company.
If this Agreement is terminated by Employee for any reason, Employee shall give
the Company written notice of such termination at least thirty (30) days prior
to the effective termination date.

         2. POSITION AND RESPONSIBILITIES. The Company hereby agrees to employ
the Employee as its President and Chief Executive Officer. The Employee shall
have such responsibilities and authority as is customary for such position and
may from time to time be assigned to the Employee by the Board of Directors of
the Company.

         3. COMPENSATION. As compensation for all services to be performed by
the Employee under this Agreement, the Company shall compensate the Employee as
follows:

               A. SALARY. The Company shall pay to Employee a salary equal to
$17,917 per month, payable monthly in arrears in accordance with the customary
payroll policies of the Company in effect at the time such payment is made or as
the Company and the Employee may otherwise mutually agree. Subject to Employee
meeting the performance objectives assigned to him by the Chairman of the Board
during each fiscal year in which he is employed by the Company, Employee will be
eligible to receive a bonus payable within ninety (90) days after the end of the
Company's fiscal year of up to thirty percent (30%) of his base salary.
Employee's bonus, if any, will be





                                        1

<PAGE>   2


prorated based on the number of months during which he is employed by the
Company during each applicable fiscal year and will not be payable unless
Employee is employed as of the last day of the applicable fiscal year.

               B. BENEFITS AND PERQUISITES. Employee shall be entitled to (a)
paid vacation during each year of employment by the Company in accordance with
the policies of the Company in effect from time to time, (b) options to acquire
450,000 shares of the Company's common stock pursuant to the terms of the
Company's Stock Option Plan and form of Stock Option Agreement and (c) share in
any employee benefits provided by the Company from time to time on the same
basis as similarly situated employees of the Company, so long as the Company
continues to provide or offer such benefits to such employees. The Company may
change or amend any of these benefits at any time.

               C. EXPENSES. The Company shall reimburse the Employee for all
business expenses properly incurred by the Employee in the performance of the
Employee's duties hereunder and in accordance with policies established from
time to time by the Company. All such payments will be subject to deductions as
from time to time may be required to be made pursuant to law, government
regulations or order, or by agreement with, or consent of, the Employee.

         4. A. DEATH. In the event of Employee's death, this Agreement shall
terminate immediately and Employee shall not be entitled to any additional
compensation.

         B. DISABILITY. If, as a result of Employee's incapacity due to physical
or mental illness, Employee shall have been absent from his duties with the
Company on a full-time basis for six (6) months and, within sixty (60) days
after written notice of termination is thereafter given by the Company, Employee
shall not have returned to the full-time performance of Employee's duties,
Company may terminate this Agreement for "Disability" and Employee shall not be
entitled to any additional compensation.

               C. TERMINATION WITHOUT CAUSE. If the Company terminates the
Employee's employment at any time without "Cause" (as defined below), the
Employee shall be entitled to continue to receive his then current salary for
the six (6) month period following Employee's effective termination date. The
obligations of the Company to the Employee under this Section 4C are conditioned
upon the Employee signing a release of claims in the form of Exhibit "A"
attached hereto (the "Release") within twenty-eight (28) days of the date on
which notice of termination is given and upon such Release remaining in full
force and effect thereafter. The severance payment under this Section 4C will be
in the form of salary continuation, payable in accordance with the normal
payroll practices of the Company and will begin at the Company's next regular
payroll period following the effective date of the Release, but shall be
retroactive to the Date of Termination. For purposes of this Agreement, "Cause"
shall mean Employee's engagement in any one of the following: (a) fraud,
misappropriation or embezzlement; (b) after his conviction by a court of
competent jurisdiction of a felony; or (c) after repeated incompetence,
insubordination, dishonesty, other acts detrimental to the interest of the
Company or its affiliates, or any material breach by the Employee of this
Agreement, the Noncompetition, Nonsolicitation and Confidentiality Agreement of
even date herewith or the Company's policies and procedures.





                                        2

<PAGE>   3



         5. DATE OF TERMINATION. For purposes of Section 4 of this Agreement,
the "Date of Termination" shall mean the day the Employee is notified of his
termination by the Company or the date of Employee's resignation or death, as
the case may be.

         6. DISCOVERIES AND INVENTIONS. All inventions, discoveries and ideas
made or conceived by Employee or by Employee and other employees of the Company,
while employed by the Company, shall be owned exclusively by the Company.
Employee hereby agrees that Employee shall have no ownership interest in such
inventions, discoveries or ideas that shall have no claim against the Company
for any additional compensation for such inventions, discoveries or ideas.
Employee hereby agrees to immediately disclose the existence of any such
invention, discovery or idea to the Company. At the request of the Company and
at the Company's expense, either during or after the Term or any extension
thereof, the Employee shall cooperate fully with the Company to secure any
patent and or copyright on any such invention, discovery or idea and hereby
agrees to execute and deliver any and all documents and all documents and
instruments and perform any additional acts that may be necessary or appropriate
to perfect the Company's interest in any such invention, discovery or idea.

         7. SOLE AGREEMENT. The Employee hereby acknowledges the termination of
any and all employment or consulting agreements between him and the Company not
expressly set forth herein, and any affiliates of the Company, and releases the
Company and all affiliates of the Company from any and all obligations that it
or they might otherwise have had to Employee under any employment or consulting
agreement between the Company or any affiliates of the Company and Employee,
including, but not by way of limitation, any obligations of the Company or its
affiliates to pay Employee accrued but unpaid compensation of any sort
whatsoever.

         8. ASSIGNMENT. This Agreement may not be assigned or transferred by
Employee, in whole or in part, without the prior written consent of the Company,
and any assignment in violation of this Section shall be void. The Company shall
have the right to assign this Agreement and any of its rights hereunder to any
of its affiliates or as a part of a sale or transfer of the stock, assets or
business of the Company or any substantial portion thereof.

         9. INTERPRETATION; SEVERABILITY OF INVALID PROVISIONS. All rights and
restrictions contained hereunder may be exercised and shall be applicable and
binding only to the extent that they do not violate any applicable laws and are
intended to be limited to the extent necessary to render this Agreement legal,
valid and enforceable. If any term of this Agreement shall be held to be
illegal, invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the
remaining terms shall remain in full force and effect. The existence of any
claim by the Employee against the Company, whether predicated on this Agreement
or otherwise, shall not constitute a defense to enforcement by the Company of
any or all such provisions or covenants.

         10. RELIEF. The parties acknowledge that a breach or threatened breach
of any of the terms of this Agreement by the Employee would result in material
and irreparable damage and injury to the Company, and that it would be difficult
or impossible to establish the full monetary value of such damage. Therefore,
the Company shall be entitled to injunctive relief by a court of appropriate
jurisdiction in the event of Employee's breach or threatened breach of any of
the terms hereunder.





                                        3

<PAGE>   4



The Company's right to an injunction will not prohibit the Company from pursuing
other remedies, including the recovery of damages.

         11. AGREEMENT BINDING. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the
Company and its successors, assignees and designees and shall be binding upon
Employee and Employee's heirs, executors, administrators and personal
representatives.

         12. NONWAIVER. No failure on the part of either Employee or the Company
to exercise, and no delay by either Employee or the Company in exercising any
right, power, or remedy under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof,
nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or remedy by either
Employee or the Company preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the
exercise by such party of any other right, power or remedy. No express waiver or
assent by either Employee or the Company of any breach of or default in any term
or condition of this Agreement by the other party shall constitute a waiver of
or assent to any succeeding breach of or default in the same or any other term
or condition hereof.

         13. AMENDMENTS AND MODIFICATIONS. This Agreement may be amended or
modified only by a writing signed by the Employee and the Chairman of the Board
of the Company.

         14. GOVERNING LAW. The validity and effect of this Agreement shall be
construed under, governed by and enforced in accordance with the laws of the
State of Texas, without regard to the choice of law provisions, statutes,
regulations or principles of this or any other jurisdiction.

         15. NO CONFLICTING AGREEMENT. Employee represents and warrants that he
is not party to any agreement, contract or understanding which would prohibit
him from entering into this Agreement or performing fully his obligations
hereunder.

         16. ARBITRATION.

                  (a) Any and all disputes arising out of or in connection with
the negotiation, execution, interpretation, performance or non-performance of
this Agreement, shall be referred to and solely and finally resolved by
arbitration. The place of arbitration shall be Dallas, Texas or such other
location as the parties may agree in writing. The arbitration tribunal shall

               (b) The parties agree to facilitate the arbitration by: (i)
making available to one another and to the arbitration tribunal for examination,

         Re:      Series 2000 Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement

Ladies and Gentlemen:

         incuVest, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the "Purchaser"),
has committed to provide up to $5,000,000 of equity financing to AXCESS Inc., a
Delaware corporation (the "Company"), in connection with the Company's 2000 plan
of operations and to maintain the Company's compliance with the net tangible
asset requirement of the Nasdaq listing requirements (the "Commitment"). This
Agreement sets forth the terms and conditions on which the Company will issue
and sell to the Purchaser shares of Series 2000 Non-Voting Preferred Stock of
the Company, par value $0.01 per share ("Series 2000 Preferred Stock"), for an
aggregate purchase price of up to $5,000,000, payable as provided herein.

         1. Advances; Purchase Price; Effectiveness. The Purchaser hereby agrees
to subscribe for and purchase from the Company, and the Company hereby agrees to
issue and sell to the Purchaser, up to $5,000,000 of Series 2000 Preferred
Stock. The purchase price for each share of Series 2000 Preferred Stock shall be
$10,000, payable in cash. The purchase and sale of the Series 2000 Preferred
Stock hereunder shall be effective as of the date the Company receives the
purchase price for each share of Series 2000 Preferred Stock from the Purchaser
(the "Effective Date").

         2. Purchase and Delivery of Shares. Upon its receipt of the purchase
price for each share of Series 2000 Preferred Stock, the Company shall issue and
sell to the Purchaser the number of shares of Series 2000 Preferred Stock (the
"Shares"), the stated value of which shall be $10,000 per share (the "Original
Series 2000 Issue Price"). On and as of the Effective Date, the Company shall
execute and deliver to the Purchaser a stock certificate in proper form
representing the Shares.

         3. Conversion of Series 2000 Preferred Stock to Non-Voting Common
Stock. The Purchaser hereby agrees that it shall not, without the prior written
consent of the Company, convert any Shares to shares of the Company's non-voting
common stock, $0.01 par value per share (the "Non-Voting Common Stock") issuable
to the Purchaser upon its conversion of any Shares until the Company receives
stockholder approval to issue more than twenty percent (20%) of the Company's
outstanding voting or non-voting common stock, as the case may be, at a per
share price potentially less than the per share market price of the Company's
voting common stock on the date of issuance to holders of the Shares. The
Company hereby agrees to submit such a proposal to its stockholders for approval
at the Company's 2000 annual meeting of stockholders. The Board of Directors of
the Company will recommend that the Company's stockholders vote in favor of such
proposal and the Company will otherwise use its best efforts to obtain
stockholder approval of such proposal. The Company's 2000 annual meeting of
stockholders will be held not later than June 30, 2000.

         4. Securities Act Legend; Registration Rights.

                  4.1 The Shares will not be registered under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). Certificates representing the Shares
shall bear a restrictive legend substantially to the effect of the following:

         THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE
         SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, OR THE
         SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. THEY MAY NOT BE SOLD OR
         TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER
         THOSE SECURITIES LAWS OR PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION THEREFROM. ADDITIONAL
         RESTRICTIONS REGARDING THE TERMS UNDER WHICH THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY
         THIS CERTIFICATE MAY BE CONVERTED INTO NON-VOTING COMMON STOCK OF THE
         COMPANY ARE SET FORTH IN THE CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATIONS, PREFERENCES,
         POWERS AND RIGHTS OF THE SERIES 2000 NON-VOTING PREFERRED STOCK.

         5. Representations and Warranties by the Company. The Company hereby
represents and warrants to the Purchaser as follows:

                  5.1 The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, and has
the corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement, to
issue the Shares on the basis described herein and otherwise to perform its
obligations under this Agreement.

                  5.2 The execution and delivery by the Company of this
Agreement, the issuance of the Shares, and the performance by the Company of its
obligations hereunder, have been duly authorized by all requisite corporate
action on the part of the Company and will not (i) violate any provision of law,
statute, rule or regulation or any order of any court or other agency of
government, (ii) conflict with or violate the Certificate of Incorporation
(after amendment to authorize the additional shares of non-voting common stock)
or By-Laws of the Company, in each case as amended, or (iii) violate, conflict
with or constitute (with due notice or lapse of time or both) a default under
any indenture, mortgage, lease, license, agreement or other contract or
instrument or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or
encumbrance of any nature upon the properties or assets of the Company or any of
its subsidiaries, in each case if such violation, conflict, default, lien,
charge or encumbrance would have a material adverse effect on the Company.

                  5.3 This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the
Company and constitutes the valid and legally binding obligation of the Company,
enforceable in accordance with its terms, except to the extent the
enforceability hereof may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, moratorium or
similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally.

                  5.4 Based in part upon the representations and warranties of
the Purchaser contained in this Agreement, no registration or filing with, or
consent or approval of, or other action by, any federal, state or other
governmental department, commission, board, bureau, agency or instrumentality or
any third party is or will be necessary for the execution and delivery of this
Agreement by the Company and the issuance of the Shares hereunder, other than
the filing of a notice of sale on Form D with the Securities and Exchange
Commission and any other required jurisdictions in accordance with the rules and
regulations thereof under the Securities Act and applicable state law.

                  5.5 The Shares are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid
and non-assessable shares of Series 2000 Preferred Stock, and are not subject to
any preemptive rights.

                  5.6 Attached hereto as Exhibit A is a true copy of the
Certificate of Designations, Preferences, Powers and Rights of Series 2000
Non-Voting Preferred Stock, as filed with the Secretary of State of the State of
Delaware on December 29, 1999 (the "Series 2000 Certificate of Designations").
The Board of Directors of the Company approved and adopted resolutions creating
the Series 2000 Preferred Stock and directing the proper officers of the Company
to file the same with the office of the Secretary of State of the State of
Delaware, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Delaware General
Corporation Law.

         6. Representations and Warranties of the Purchaser. The Purchaser
hereby represents and warrants to the Company as follows:

                  6.1 The Purchaser is acquiring the Shares for its own account,
for investment and not with a view to the distribution thereof within the
meaning of the Securities Act.

                  6.2 The Purchaser understands that the Shares have not been
registered under the Securities Act, by reason of their issuance by the Company
in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act,
and that the Shares must be held by the Purchaser indefinitely unless a
subsequent disposition thereof is registered under the Securities Act or is
exempt from such registration.

                  6.3 The Purchaser further understands that the exemption from
registration afforded by Rule 144 (the provisions of which are known to it)
promulgated under the Securities Act depends on the satisfaction of various
conditions, and that, if applicable, Rule 144 may afford the basis for sales
only in limited amounts, after compliance with the holding periods and other
provisions thereof.

                  6.4 The Purchaser understands that its investment hereunder
involves substantial risks and represents and warrants that it has made such
independent examinations and investigations of the Company as it has deemed
necessary in making its investment decision, and the Purchaser further
represents and warrants that it has had sufficient access to the officers,
directors, books and records of the Company as it has deemed necessary to
conduct such examination and investigation and make such investment decision.

                  6.5 The Purchaser is able to bear the economic risk of the
investment contemplated by this Agreement and has such knowledge and experience
in financial and business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits
and risks of the investment contemplated by this Agreement.

         7. Reaffirmation of Representations and Warranties. The date Shares are
purchased shall constitute a reaffirmation of each and every one of the
representations and warranties of the Company set forth in Section 5 of this
Agreement and those of the Purchaser set forth in Section 6 of this Agreement as
if made as of each

                  8.2 This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted
assigns. The rights of the Purchaser hereunder shall be assignable to any holder
of the Shares. Except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, this
Agreement and the rights of the Purchaser hereunder shall not be assignable, and
any purported assignment hereof or thereof shall be void.

                  8.3 This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts and on separate counterparts, each of which shall be an original
instrument, but all of which together shall constitute a single agreement. One
or more signature pages from any counterpart of this Agreement may be attached
to any other counterpart of this Agreement without in any way changing the
effect thereof. This Agreement shall be effective when executed and delivered by
the Company and the Purchaser.

                  8.4 All notices, requests, demands, consents, waivers, or

                  8.5 All representations, warranties and agreements contained
herein shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the sale
of the Shares hereunder.

                  8.6 This Agreement, and all rights, obligations and
liabilities hereunder, shall be construed according to the laws of the State of
New York applicable to contracts made and to be performed wholly therein. Any
judicial proceeding brought against the Company to enforce, or otherwise in
connection with, this Agreement may be brought in any court of competent
jurisdiction in the City of New York, and, by execution and delivery of this
Agreement, the Company (i) accepts, generally and unconditionally, the
nonexclusive jurisdiction of such courts and any related appellate court and
irrevocably agrees to be bound by any final judgment rendered thereby in
connection with this Agreement and (ii) irrevocably waives any objection it may
now or hereafter have as to the venue of any such proceeding brought in such a
court or that such a court is an inconvenient forum.

                  8.7 For purposes of Section 4.(c)(ii) of the Series 2000
Certificate of Designations, the Purchaser is deemed to be an affiliate of
Amphion Ventures L.P.

                  8.8 For so long as the Purchaser owns at least 500 shares of
Series 2000 Preferred Stock (or an equivalent amount of any other securities of
the Company into which the Series 2000 Preferred Stock has been converted), the
Company agrees to include Purchaser's nominee in management's slate of nominees
for the Company's Board of Directors and to solicit proxies in favor of the
election of Purchaser's nominee in connection with any annual or special meeting
of the Company's stockholders (commencing with the election of the Purchaser's
nominee at the Company's 2000 annual meeting of stockholders). The Company will
not support the removal of the Purchaser's nominee to the Board of Directors of
the Company, other than in the event of bad faith or willful misconduct or
unless such removal is requested by the Purchaser's nominee.

                  8.9 The Purchaser shall be entitled to the same registration
rights with respect to the Shares as Amphion Ventures L.P. is entitled in that
certain Registration Rights Agreement, dated September 30, 1999, by and between
the Company and Amphion Ventures L.P.

                         INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' CONSENT


The Board of Directors
AXCESS Inc.:

We consent to incorporation by reference in the registration statements on Form
S-8 (Nos. 33-42214, 33-98160, 333-80843 and 333-80857) and on Form S-3
(No. 333-10665) of AXCESS Inc. of our report dated March 19, 1999, relating to
the consolidated balance sheet of AXCESS Inc. and subsidiaries as of December
31, 1998, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders'
equity and cash flows for the year then ended, which report appears in the
December 31, 1999 annual report on Form 10-KSB.

Our report date March 19, 1999 contains an explanatory paragraph that states
that the company's recurring losses from operations and resulting continued
dependence upon access to additional external financing raise substantial doubt
about the company's ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated
financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the
outcome of this uncertainty.
