EXPLANATORY NOTE

Axion International Holdings, Inc. (“Axion”, “we”, “our” or the “Company”) is filing this Amendment No. 1 to our Form 10-Q for the three months ended June 30, 2015, which was originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on August 14, 2015, to amend, restate and correct our disclosure in section (a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures within Item 4. Control and Procedures to disclose whether our disclosure controls and procedures are effective or not effective as required by Item 307 of Regulation S-K. Except for the information specifically amended and restated in this amendment No. 1, this Form 10-Q/A does not amend any other information set forth in the referenced Form 10-Q, and the Company has not updated disclosures contained in the Form 10-Q to reflect any events that occurred at a date subsequent to May 14, 2015.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.

With the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, we recognize that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that we are required to apply our judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

Based on our evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as required under Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act as a result of the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. 

The material weaknesses, which relate to internal control over financial reporting, that were identified are:

We are committed to improving our financial organization, and we continue to adopt additional processes and procedures over financial reporting. If the issuance of any securities is contemplated, we will consult with legal counsel and appropriate accounting resources to evaluate the financial statement impact that the issuance of such financial instruments may have prior to issuance. Additional measures may be implemented as we evaluate the effectiveness of these efforts.  We cannot assure you that these remediation efforts will be successful or that our internal control over financial reporting will be effective in accomplishing the control objectives.

The relocation of our accounting and administrative functions in 2014 to our facility in Ohio, has allowed for the proper segregation of duties and provided more checks and balances within the department. The additional accounting and administrative personnel will continue to allow for the cross training needed to support us if personnel turn-over occurs within the department. We believe this will greatly decrease any control and procedure issues we may encounter in the future.

In addition, we will continue to evaluate the need and costs to increase our personnel resources and technical accounting expertise within the accounting function to resolve non-routine or complex accounting matters.  As our operations are relatively small and we continue to have net cash losses each quarter, we do not anticipate being able to hire additional internal personnel until such time as our operations are profitable on a cash basis or until our operations are large enough to justify the hiring of additional accounting personnel. As necessary, we may engage consultants in the future in order to ensure proper accounting for our consolidated financial statements. 

We believe that engaging additional knowledgeable personnel with specific technical accounting expertise will remedy the following material weakness: insufficient personnel with an appropriate level of technical accounting knowledge, experience, and training in the application of GAAP commensurate with our complexity and our financial accounting and reporting requirements.

We believe that, when the circumstances allow, the hiring of additional personnel who have the technical expertise and knowledge with the non-routine or technical accounting issues we have encountered in the past will result in both proper recording of these transactions and a much more knowledgeable finance department as a whole. Due to the fact that we have a limited internal accounting staff, additional personnel will also allow for the proper segregation of duties and provide more checks and balances within the department. Additional personnel will also provide the cross training needed to support us if personnel turn-over occurs within the department. We believe this will greatly decrease any control and procedure issues we may encounter in the future. 

(b) Changes in internal control over financial reporting.

We regularly review our system of internal control over financial reporting and make changes to our processes and systems to improve controls and increase efficiency, while ensuring that we maintain an effective internal control environment. Changes may include such activities as implementing new, more efficient systems, consolidating activities, and migrating processes. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three or six months ended June 30, 2015 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
