American Telecom Services, Inc. Reports Fiscal Year End 2007 Results

City of Industry, California, October 1, 2007 - American Telecom Services Inc. (AMEX: TES), a provider of converged communications solutions, today announced its financial results for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2007.

For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, the company reports a net loss $20.3 million before charges of $0.4 million and $0.3 million for accrued Preferred Stock dividends and Accretion of Redeemable Preferred Stock or $3.12 per fully diluted share (based on 6.5 million common shares outstanding), compared to a net loss for the year ended June 30, 2006 of $5.7 million, or $1.54 per fully diluted share (based on approximately 3.7 million shares weighted-average common shares outstanding) for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006. Inclusive of the above charges for dividends and accretion, net loss was $21.1 million, or $3.24 per share (basic and diluted), upon gross revenues of $25.2 million and net revenues of $14.0 million (after recognizing rebates, other promotional allowances, sales returns and a reserve for future sales returns {due to a refinement in the promotional programs} in accordance with GAAP) as compared to a net loss of approximately $5.7 million, or $1.54 per share (basic and diluted), upon gross revenues of approximately $3.3 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006. The opinion of the company’s independent registered public accountants in connection with the company’s financial statements for the 2007 fiscal year will contain an explanatory paragraph that, citing the company’s losses from operations and a stockholders’ deficiency, expresses substantial doubt about the company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management believes it can remediate this condition based on current operating plans which include, among other things, substantial reductions in promotional spending and planned product design enhancements that may materially improve gross margins in the coming quarters. The Annual Report on Form 10-K will be filed within the next several days.

The cost of sales for fiscal 2007 was $14.7 million. On a GAAP basis, gross profit was $(0.7) million or (4.7%), down from 38.3% in the prior fiscal period. On a non GAAP basis, removing the effect of the $6.0 million of promotional expenses allocated to sales, gross profit margin was 26.6%, down from 41.9% in the previous fiscal year. Please see Exhibit 3 for a reconciliation of this non-GAAP measurement.

Management believes these non-GAAP measurements are valuable to convey the results of the operations because it allows for a clearer and more accurate representation of the way management measures its control of costs and supply chain efficiency as the company grows. Management regards the costs of rebates programs as promotional expenses which motivate channels to advertise our products and should be classed in selling expenses for the purpose of building distribution-consumer awareness-and contributing to the activation of service for future recurring revenue from some consumers. A risk of this measurement is that it excludes the effects of discounts and promotional spending from revenue.

Total operating expenses in the 2007 fiscal year were $19.8 million, inclusive of $0.3 million of non-cash charges relating to share-based compensation granted to employees and non-employees for services compared to $4.7 million of operating expenses for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006. The company incurred $12.9 million in selling, marketing and development expenses during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 compared to $2.4 million in selling, marketing and development expenses last year. General and administrative expenses for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 were $6.9 million, compared to $2.2 million in general and administrative expenses for the prior year.

The company concluded the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 with $2.0 million in cash and cash equivalents compared to $12.4 million in cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2006. The company ended the 2007 fiscal year with $2.4 million in accounts receivable, up from $1.0 million in fiscal 2006. Prepaid expense at the end of 2007 was $2.4 million compared to $0.8 million in 2006. The company has increased its inventory in anticipation of future orders as well as used its cash for future production and near term receipts of product in process and transit not included in the year-end inventory, to support future sales in an effort to reduce expedited/ air freight charges as incurred in prior quarters. Working capital was $5.8 million as of June 30, 2007.

The company achieved several important milestones during fiscal 2007, including:

·	Revenue Growth – During fiscal 2007 American Telecom was able to grow gross revenues to approximately $25.2 million compared to approximately $3.3 million as of the end of the last fiscal year.

Net revenues for fiscal 2007, which recognized rebates, other promotional allowances, returns and a the additional provision for a reserve for sales returns (due to a refinement in the promotional programs) in accordance with GAAP, were $14.0 million, up 350% compared to fiscal 2006 net revenue of $2.9 million.

During the third fiscal quarter, the company implemented refinements to its promotional program, which allowed for expanded distribution but modified the sales results at existing anchor channels. While the number of product models was expanded at specific accounts and is expected to remain stable, unit volume although acceptable, was reduced along with promotional activity in the existing channels. The company began a stock balancing program for specific existing channels in fiscal Q4 with the expectation of redistributing this product into expanded retail channels. The company recorded an additional returns reserve included in the fourth quarter numbers of approximately $2.4 million. This reserve, which was a direct result of the change in promotional activity, represented about 10% of our gross sales and had a negative effect on the amount of net sales reported during the quarter.

The company has been able to expand the number of retail locations and has expectations that it will be effective in redistributing the recently returned inventory. The company believes the ultimate result of this shift will be relatively neutral to revenue over time because while it will be selling fewer units per model, per store, to consumers, it will be selling into many more store locations. Additionally, the company believes this planned refinement in its promotional policies will continue to allow it to improve its promotional expense ratio, which was already down to 27.3% of sales during the fourth quarter compared to 31.6% in the third quarter.

Retail Penetration - As of the end of the fiscal year, the company’s products were available in approximately 25,000 stores up from 9,500 stores at the beginning of the year. American Telecom’s products are now carried by some of the most important “e-tailers” and “brick and mortar” retailers in the country.

Focus on Recurring Revenue - In April, the company augmented its senior management team and implemented several programs to specifically improve the efficiency of its activation process and to increase the conversion into paid users of those people activating the promotional service. In the past few months, the company has made significant strides toward converting those people activating the promotional service into paid users.

Substantial Improvements in Promotional/Rebates Expenses - The Company has refined its rebate policies, tying most programs to activations and in many cases to the customer actually providing credit card information and making a service purchase. These changes have begun to pay off in significantly lower rebate and promotional expenses with the promotional expense ratio to sales falling to 27.3% in Q4 compared to 31.6% in Q3. The company expects this ratio to continue to show improvement over the coming quarters due to these ongoing efforts and due to many of the newer retail relationships the company has established that do not use rebate programs to promote.

Standard Gross Margin - The Company has ended the fiscal year with a standard gross margin at 27%. During the fiscal period 2008 there will be a significant effort to increase gross margins. The company contemplates negotiating agreements with its manufacturers to incorporate a recently designed integrated circuit (chipset) into most of the company's handsets over time. If such agreements are successfully consummated, the company believes that these chipsets will reduce its costs and improve production lead times.
