announced today that the Company's revenue for the three months ended
January 31, 2008 reached $10,293,000, a 46% improvement over revenue for
the three months ended January 31, 2007. As a result, the Company expects
to report record revenue that exceeded the immediately preceding quarter by
$866,000. In addition to record revenue, the Company expects to report its
2nd consecutive quarter of record gross profit, 7th consecutive quarter of
positive cash flow from operations, and 5th consecutive quarter of positive
net income for its 2nd fiscal quarter ended January 31, 2008.
ATSI's Sr. Vice President of Technology and Operations, Ruben Caraveo
stated, "ATSI processed over 135 million minutes of VoIP traffic during the
quarter, continuing a track record of successful execution. The sales
team, led by Joseph Troché, Sr. Vice President of Global Sales, is gaining
traction and filling the sales pipeline with global operators seeking
international VoIP solutions. Mr. Caraveo added, "Although another revenue
record has been broken, ATSI's current market share is only a sliver of the
global voice market estimated to be just over 300 billion minutes of use
annually."

Company's filing of its quarterly report on form 10QSB with the Securities
and Exchange Commission. The Company expects a timely filing of its 10QSB
