Arthur L. Smith, CEO of ATSI, stated, "We had a phenomenal year during
which our team met key financial and operational goals that solidifies a
successful track record of execution over the last 3 fiscal years. We
exceeded our objective of doubling revenues year over year while producing
net earnings per share earlier than expected." Mr. Smith added, "I commend
our team for consistently delivering on the Company's goals and objectives
over the last 12 quarters. Although we expect our growth trend to continue
and result in record annual revenues for FY2008, our management team is
emphasizing improvements in gross margin and cash flow from operations. We
also anticipate a continued increase in the value of our assets that
includes improving our cash reserve during the year."

non-cash items incurred during the year include depreciation and
amortization expense, interest expense, bad debt expense, debt forgiveness

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 loss before non-cash items.
