Press Release

ATS CORPORATION ANNOUNCES FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR THE FIRST QUARTER ENDED
MARCH 31, 2007

McLEAN, Va.—(MARKET WIRE)—May 10, 2007— ATS Corporation (“ATSC”) (OTCBB: ATCT), a leading information technology company that delivers innovative technology solutions to federal, state, and local government organizations, today announced operating results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2007.  Prior to the acquisition of Advanced Technology Systems, Inc. on January 16, 2007, ATSC was a blank check company without operating units.

ATSC reported revenue of $23.5 million for the first quarter of 2007.  Net loss was $6.8 million or $0.33 per diluted share.  This included a loss of $6.9 million on derivative liabilities attributed to our warrants.  Because our warrant agreement, until March 14, 2007, was not clear as to whether we were required to net cash settle the warrants if we were unable to deliver common stock to the warrant holders, we were required to mark the warrants to market as liabilities and therefore recognize gains or losses on the increase or decrease in the fair market value of the warrants.  Effective March 14, 2007, the warrant agreement was clarified to state that we are not required to net cash settle the instruments if we are unable to deliver shares of common stock to the warrant holders.  We are therefore no longer required to mark the warrants to market and the warrants have now been reclassified as stockholders’ equity from liabilities.

The other elements of cost impacting earnings for the quarter were $774,000 of amortization of intangibles associated with the ATSI acquisition and $5,000 associated with the RISI acquisition.  We expect these amounts to be approximately $930,000 and $15,000, respectively, in future quarters.

We also had a charge of approximately $600,000 associated with stock based compensation during the quarter.  This amount was primarily due to stock options that vested during the quarter.  We expect the amount of stock based compensation to be approximately $100,000 per quarter going forward.

Business Highlights

ATSC President and Chief Executive Officer Dr. Edward H. Bersoff stated, “I am pleased with all that we have been able to accomplish in the past several months, including the finalization of the acquisition of ATSI on January 16, 2007, and RISI on March 1, 2007; selecting our new independent accounting firm; negotiating our $9 million bridge credit facility while working on putting in place a three-year line of credit; creating a new business development organization; and implementing a company-wide incentive program.”

Conference Call

ATSC will conduct a first quarter conference call on Thursday, May 10, at 5:00 p.m. ET.  The dial-in number for the live teleconference is 877-715-5282, conference ID # 8778959.  Recorded replay of the teleconference will be available beginning May 11 on the company website:  www.atsva.com for one year from the conference call and by telephone at 877-519-4471, conference ID # 8778959, beginning at 8:00 p.m. ET on May 10, 2007 through 11:59 p.m. ET on May 24, 2007.
