-- 217% improvement in gross profit for the three months ended January 31, 2007 vs. the three months ended January 31, 2006 ($564,000 vs. $178,000 respectively). -- $168,000 in positive cash flow from operations. -- The Company processed a record volume of 115 million VoIP minutes of use ("MOU") during the quarter through its NexTone powered VoIP network.Arthur L. Smith, CEO of ATSI, stated, "The Company has achieved a key metric in its development by producing bottom line profits from recurring operations for the first time. Profitability, combined with its consistent production of positive cash flow from operations, positions ATSI to finance its growth and strategic opportunities that meet the Company's future goals and objectives." Mr. Smith added, "Upon completing a successful 2nd quarter, management promptly initiated activities in the 3rd quarter to support continued growth, improve the Company's balance sheet, and increase cash reserves. We look forward to communicating the result of these initiatives in the near future." Adjusted for non-cash items, net income for the three months ended January 31, 2007 was $168,000 vs. a net loss before non-cash items of $35,000 for the three months ended January 31, 2006. Non-cash items include long-term incentive compensation for employees and directors that reflects the Company's adoption of SFAS 123R accounting for the amortization expense of stock option grants. Additional non-cash items incurred during the quarter include interest, depreciation, amortization, and preferred dividend expense. Net income before non-cash items is not a term defined by generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measurements used by other companies. Such non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. The accompanying table includes a detailed reconciliation of net loss reported in accordance with GAAP to net income before non-cash items.
