(OTC BB: ATSX) 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.

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.
