ATSI Communications, Inc. ATSX announced today that revenues for the three months ended January
31, 2006 totaled $2,947,000 and resulted in the sixth consecutive quarter of
record revenues since the Company's reincorporation in May 2004. This is a 94%
increase in revenues over the three months ended January 31, 2005. ATSI also
reported that the Company achieved a major milestone during the quarter by
producing positive cash flow from operations for the month of January 2006. Net
loss before non-cash items for the three months ended January 31, 2006 was
$35,000 vs. a net loss before non-cash items of $24,000 for the three months
ended January 31, 2005.
In addition to the continued revenue growth, recent achievements and highlights
for the quarter include:
-- The Company processed a record volume of 62 million VoIP minutes
of use ("MOU") during the quarter, resulting in over 12 million
calls through its NexTone powered VoIP network.
-- The formation of ATSI's new wholly owned subsidiary, Digerati
Networks, Inc., to showcase ATSI's growing VoIP business.
-- 82% improvement in gross profit for the three months ended January
31, 2006 vs. the three months ended January 31, 2005.
Arthur L. Smith, CEO of ATSI stated, "We met some key objectives during the
quarter while continuing the growth trend in our core VoIP business. We
controlled our expenses and achieved a pivotal goal of producing positive cash
flow from operations in January. I am pleased to report that we continue to
make progress and are on a record setting pace in the current quarter, having
exceeded the $1 million mark in monthly revenues for February."
Including non-cash items, net loss applicable to common stockholders for the
three months ended January 31, 2006 was $224,000 vs. a net income applicable to
common stockholders of $868,000 for the three months ended January 31, 2005. The
Company incurred $53,000 in non-cash expense for the quarter ended January 31,
2006 and $2,062,000 in non-cash income for the quarter ended January 31, 2005
associated with the accounting treatment of its derivative instruments.
Additional non-cash items incurred during the quarter include interest,
depreciation, amortization, and preferred dividend expense.
The Company has concluded a detailed analysis of the accounting treatment of its
derivative instruments. The analysis conducted by consultants with a
specialization in derivative accounting identified a convertible note, a
convertible debenture, and warrants to purchase common stock as derivative
instruments in ATSI's financial statements. Management concluded from the
results of the analysis that the Company has a net income gain of $1.43 million
from a reclassification of its derivative instruments, which should be recorded
in its financial results for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2005 and the three
months ended October 31, 2005. The gain in net income is the difference between
the expense resulting from derivative accounting treatment and the expense
originally recorded by ATSI with respect to the derivative instruments. This
non-cash benefit will be reflected in restated financial results for the year
ended July 31, 2005 and the three months ended October 31, 2005. Please refer
to the Company's 10Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for a
complete explanation of the accounting treatment of its derivative instruments.
Net loss 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 loss before
non-cash items.
