NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of ATSI Communications, Inc. have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. In the opinion of management, these interim financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Notes to the consolidated financial statements, which would substantially duplicate the disclosure contained in the audited financial statements for the most recent fiscal year ended July 31, 2008, as reported in Form 10-K filed on October 29, 2008, have been omitted.

NOTE 2 - ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

On December 12, 2007, ATSI entered into a $3,000,000 accounts receivable financing agreement with Wells Fargo Business Credit (“WFBC”), a division of Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. On March 26, 2008, WFBC increased the accounts receivable financing to $5,000,000. ATSI may offer to sell with recourse not less than $350,000 and no more than $5,000,000 of its accounts receivable to WFBC each month. WFBC pays to ATSI 85% of the aggregate amount of each account transferred under the Account Transfer Agreement. Once the account is collected by WFBC, it retains the amount originally paid for the account plus a daily factoring rate of 0.0349% for each day outstanding measured from the funding date and until the account is paid by ATSI’s customer. If an account is not paid within 90 days, ATSI must repurchase the account for the amount that it originally received for the account and pay the factor rate that has accrued prior to repurchase. The factoring agreement is for twelve months and ATSI can terminate this agreement upon 30 days written notice, subject to a $15,000 early termination fee. Under the receivable financing agreement with WFBC, ATSI is factoring approximately $60,000 of its monthly receivables. As of January 31, 2009, ATSI had approximately $13,000 of factored account receivables outstanding. ATSI will continue to factor its receivables on a monthly basis as services are rendered to its customers.

issued 425,000 warrants to the note holders, at an exercise price per warrant of $0.19.
The warrants have the following “Put” and “Call” rights: Put right. From and after the
second anniversary of the notes payable, the holder shall have the right to request from ATSI,
upon five (5) Business days prior notice, to acquire from the holders the warrants at a price
$0.39 per warrant. Call right. At any time any warrants are outstanding, if the last sale price of ATSI’s
common stock is greater than $.80 per share for ten (10) consecutive trading days, ATSI shall

Payments on long-term debt of ATSI are due as follows:
	(in thousands)
Fiscal 2009				$	1,086
Fiscal 2010					626
Total payments				$	1,712

ATSI analyzed these instruments for derivative accounting consideration under SFAS 133 and EITF 00-19, and determined that the warrants issued to ATVF, Scott Crist, Roderick Ciaccioa & Vencore Solutions did not meet the definition of equity under SFAS 133 and EITF 00-19, due to the put right. ATSI estimated the fair market value of the put to be the difference between the potential cash settlement price per share and the exercise price, or approximately $85,000 which is the maximum amount of potential cash settlement by ATSI. Because the maximum cash settlement was greater than the fair value of the warrants, ATSI recorded the maximum cash settlement of $85,000 as a liability. Additionally, ATSI analyzed the rest of the instruments for derivative accounting was not applicable.

NOTE 4 – GAIN ON EARLY EXTINGUISHMENT OF DEBT

In December 2007, ATSI entered into a promissory note payable with The Shaar Fund, Ltd. The promissory note was entered into as a result of the settlement agreement reached in which all parties agreed to release each other from all claims relating to the Series D Preferred Stock. As part of the settlement ATSI agreed to pay to The Shaar Fund, Ltd. the sum of $75,000 in cash in December 2007 and issue to The Shaar Fund a promissory note in the original principal amount of $450,000, bearing interest at the rate of 7.5% per annum and payable in 16 quarterly payments over 48 months. If paid in full within the first 18 months, ATSI is entitled to a discount of 22.5% on the then outstanding principal balance. On October 30, 2008, ATSI entered into a note discharged agreement and agreed to pay to The Shaar Fund, Ltd. $290,000 to satisfy the principal and accrued interest outstanding of $390,625 and $7,534, respectively. As a result of the discharge agreement ATSI recognized a gain on early extinguishment of debt $108,160.

NOTE 5 – EQUITY

Common Stock

During the six months ended January 31, 2009 ATSI issued:

- 637,723 common shares to the holders of the Convertible Debentures in lieu of the conversion of notes payable in the principal amount of $166,400 and accrued interest in the amount of $5,785 at a conversion price of $0.27, in accordance with the original terms of the notes which allowed for voluntary conversion by the company at a conversion price at the higher of (a) $0.27 per share or (b) the average closing price of ATSI’s common stock for the 10 days immediately preceding the date of conversion.

NOTE 6 – STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION TO EMPLOYEES

In September 2005, ATSI adopted its 2005 stock compensation plan. This plan authorizes the grant of up to 7.5 million warrants, stock options, restricted common shares, non-restricted common shares and other awards to employees, directors, and certain other persons. The plan is intended to permit ATSI to retain and attract qualified individuals who will contribute to the overall success of ATSI. ATSI’s board of directors determines the terms of any grants under the plan. Exercise prices of all warrants, stock options and other awards vary based on the market price of the shares of common stock as of the date of grant. The warrants, stock options, restricted common stock, non-restricted common stock and other awards vest based on the terms of the individual grant.

In August 2007, ATSI’s board of directors approved an amendment to the plan. Under the amendment, ATSI’s board of directors increased the maximum aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued under the Plan from 7.5 million shares to 17.5 million shares.

During the six months ended January 31, 2009, ATSI granted under the plan, the following stock options

- ATSI granted options to purchase 75,000 common shares to an employee with an exercise price of $0.16 per share, the closing price of ATSI’s common stock on the grant date, September 23, 2008. The options vest equally at each anniversary of the grant date over a three year period. All options expire if not exercised on or before the seventh anniversary of the grant date. Under the fair value option method, ATSI will recognize over the relevant service periods $9,990 of non-cash compensation expense related to un-vested options.

-ATSI granted options to purchase 200,000 common shares to an employee with an exercise price of $0.13 per share, the closing price of ATSI’s common stock on the grant date, October 13, 2008. The options vest equally at each anniversary of the grant date over a three year period. All options expire if not exercised on or before the seventh anniversary of the grant date. Under the fair value option method, ATSI will recognize over the relevant service periods $22,156 of non-cash compensation expense related to un-vested options.

- ATSI granted options to purchase 60,000 common shares to an employee with an exercise price of $0.13 per share, the closing price of ATSI’s common stock on the grant date, November 4, 2008. The options vest equally at each anniversary of the grant date over a three year period. All options expire if not exercised on or before the seventh anniversary of the grant date. Under the fair value option method, ATSI will recognize over the relevant service periods $6,681 of non-cash compensation expense related to un-vested options.

- ATSI granted options to purchase 520,000 common shares to two (2) employees with an exercise price of $0.08 per share, the closing price of ATSI’s common stock on the grant date, January 30, 2009, 250,000 vests September 1, 2009, 10,000 vests November 1, 2009, 250,000 vests September 1, 2010 and 10,000 vests November 1, 2010. All options expire if not exercised on or before the seventh anniversary of the grant date. Under the fair value option method, ATSI will recognize over the relevant service periods $35,564 of non-cash compensation expense related to un-vested options.

- On January 30, 2009, ATSI’s Board of Directors approved the amendment of previously awarded stock options and as a result ATSI reissued 7,619,000 stock options to various employees. The new exercise price of these options is set at $0.08 per share, the closing price as of the date of the amendment of the terms. The options vested upon issuance and will expire if not exercised on or before the seventh anniversary of the grant date. Under SFAS No.123R, a modification of the terms of an award that makes it more valuable shall be treated as an exchange of the original award for a new award. In substance, the entity repurchases the original instrument by issuing a new instrument of greater value, incurring additional compensation cost for that incremental value. The incremental value shall be measured by the difference between (a) the fair value of the modified option determined in accordance with the provisions of this section and (b) the value of the old option immediately before its terms are modified, determined based on the shorter of (1) its remaining expected life or (2) the expected life of the modified option. Upon issuance, ATSI recognized $46,038 of non-cash incremental compensation expense.

The fair value of each option granted is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:

	For the Six Months Ended January 31,
	2009			2008
Expected dividends yield		0.00	%		0.00	%
Expected stock price volatility		128%-296	%		75	%
Risk-free interest rate		2.28%-3.48	%		4.65	%
Expected life of options	4.5 years			6 years

ATSI recognized $130,000 and $524,000 in stock based compensation expense to employees during six months ended January 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Unamortized compensation cost totaled $64,255 and $147,174 at January 31, 2009 and July 31, 2008, respectively.

ATSI estimates the expected life of its options using the “simplified method” allowed for under SAB 107 which is the average between the contract term and the weighted average vesting period of the options.

A summary of the options as of January 31, 2009 and the changes during the six months ended January 31, 2009 is presented below:

2005 Stock Compensation Plan	Options			Weighted-average exercise price		Weighted-average remaining contractual term (years)

Outstanding at July 31, 2008		8,239,000		$	0.19		6
Granted		8,474,000			0.08		7
Forfeited		(8,239,000	)		0.19		4

Outstanding at January 31, 2009		8,474,000			0.08		7

Exercisable at January 31, 2009		7,619,000		$	0.08		7

NOTE 7 – WARRANTS

During the six months ended January 31, 2009, ATSI issued warrants to purchase 425,000 common shares to ATVF, Scott Crist, Roderick Ciaccio & Vencore solutions.

These warrants have the following “Put” and “Call” rights:

Put right. From and after the second anniversary of the warrants, the holder has the right to require ATSI to redeem the warrants upon five (5) Business days prior notice at price of $0.39 per share of common stock.

Call right. At any time any warrants are outstanding ATSI is may require the purchaser to exercise the warrants and pay the exercise price therefore upon five (5) business days written notice if the last sale price of ATSI’s common stock is greater than $.80 per share for ten (10) consecutive trading days,.

The fair value of the warrants was estimated to be $70,760 on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:

Expected dividend yield		0.00	%
Expected stock price volatility		126	%
Risk-free interest rate		3.37	%
Contractual life of warrants	7 years

ATSI analyzed these warrans for derivative accounting consideration under SFAS 133 and EITF 00-19, and determined that the warrants did not meet the definition of equity under SFAS 133 and EITF 00-19, due to the put right. ATSI estimated the fair market value of the put to be the difference between the potential cash settlement price per share and the exercise price, or approximately $85,000 which is the maximum amount of potential cash settlement by ATSI. Because the maximum cash settlement was greater than the fair value of the warrants, ATSI recorded the maximum cash settlement of $85,000 as a liability.

A summary of the warrants as of July 31, 2008 and the changes during the six months ended January 31, 2009 is presented below:

Three Months ended January 31, 2009 Compared to Three Months ended January 31, 2008

VoIP Service. VoIP services revenue decreased by $4,855,000, or 47%, from the quarter ended January 31, 2008 to the quarter ended January 31, 2009. VoIP minutes carried by our network on which we generated revenues decreased by 34 % from approximately 139,710,508 minutes of voice traffic during the quarter ended January 31, 2008 to approximately 93,182,514 minutes of voice traffic during the quarter ended January 31, 2009. Additionally, our average revenue per minute decreased from $0.0736 during the quarter ended January 31, 2008 to $0.0585 for the quarter ended January 31, 2009. This represents a decrease in our average revenue rate per minute of 21%. The decrease in revenue and VoIP minutes is attributable primarily to the overall decrease in international VoIP calling.

Cost of Services (Exclusive of depreciation and amortization). The consolidated cost of services decreased by $4,560,000, or 48%, from the quarter ended January 31, 2008 to the quarter ended January 31, 2009. The decrease in cost of services is a direct result of the decrease in VoIP services revenue. Cost of services, as a percentage of revenue decreased by 1.22 % between periods, from 92.60% of revenue during the quarter ended January 31, 2008 to 91.38% of revenue during the quarter ended January 31, 2009. The decline in cost of services as a percentage of revenue is a result of negotiation of extended terms and lower rates with our vendors. As a result of the decrease in VoIP revenues, our gross margin declined by $295,000 or 39% to $470,000 for the three months ended January 31, 2009 compared to $765,000 for the three months ended January 31, 2008. The percentage decline in gross margin was less than the percentage decline in revenues because of the improvement in cost of services as a percentage of revenue.

Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) Expenses (exclusive of legal and professional fees). SG&A expenses decreased by $9,000, or 2%, from the quarter ended January 31, 2008 to the quarter ended January 31, 2009. The decrease is primarily attributable to the decrease in non-cash compensation expense to employees. During the quarter ended January 31, 2008 we recognized $85,257 in non-cash compensation expense to employees. We only recognized $68,105 in non-cash compensation expense to employees during the quarter ended January 31, 2009.

Legal and professional fees. Legal and professional fees increased by $37,000, or 57%, from the quarter ended January 31, 2008 to the quarter ended January 31, 2009. The increase is attributable to $30,000 in board of director fees incurred during the quarter ended January 31, 2009. We did not incur similar expenses during the quarter ended January 31, 2008.

Bad debt expense. Bad debt expense is comparable between periods at $21,000. During the quarter ended January 31, 2009 we recognized approximately $21,000 in bad debt associated with the write-off of troubled accounts as a result of the deteriorating global financial markets.

Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization increased by $4,000 or 11%, from the quarter ended January 31, 2008 to the quarter ended January 31, 2009. The increase is attributed to the additional amortization associated with the new computers and servers acquired since January 31, 2008.

Operating income (loss). The Company reported an operating loss of $224,000 for the three months ended January 31, 2009 compared to operating income of $103,000 for the three months ended January 31, 2008. The net loss for the three months ended January 31, 2009 was primarily the result of the decline in gross margins and the increase in legal and professional expenses.

Other Income (expense). Other expenses increased by $47,000, or 196% from the quarter ended January 31, 2008 to the quarter ended January 31, 2009. The primary reason for the increase in other expenses is the recognition of $12,000 in expenses relating to our minority interest in Fiesta Communications. Additionally, interest expense between periods increased by $35,000, or 146%, from $24,000 for the quarter ended January 31, 2008 to $59,000 for the quarter ended January 31, 2009. The increase is attributed to increases in the amount outstanding under promissory notes and increases in the interest rates paid by the Company.

Net income (loss) applicable to common stockholders. The Company reported a net loss to common stockholders of $295,000 for the three months ended January 31, 2009 compared to net income of $79,000 available to common stockholders for the three months ended January 31, 2008. The increase net loss for the three months ended January 31, 2009 was primarily the result of the decline in operating income and increases in other expenses between periods.

Additionally, our average revenue per minute decreased from $0.0718 during the six months ended January 31, 2008 to $0.0604 for the six months ended January 31, 2009. This represents a decrease in our average revenue rate per minute of 16%. The decrease in revenue and VoIP minutes is attributable primarily to the overall decrease in international VoIP calling.

Cost of Services (Exclusive of depreciation and amortization). The consolidated cost of services decreased by $6,778,000, or 37%, from the six months ended January 31, 2008 to the six months ended January 31, 2009.

The main reason for the improvement in cost of services is as a result of our negotiations with our vendors of extended terms and improvements in our cost per minute. As a result of the decrease in VoIP revenues, our gross margin declined by $367,000 or 26% to $1,040,000 for the three months ended January 31, 2009 compared to $1,407,000 for the three months ended January 31, 2008. The percentage decline in gross margin was less than the percentage decline in revenues because of the improvement in cost of services as a percentage of revenue.

Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) Expenses (exclusive of legal and professional fees). SG&A expenses decreased by $299,000, or 22%, from the six months ended January 31, 2008 to the six months ended January 31, 2009. The decrease is primarily attributable to the decrease in non-cash compensation expense to employees. During the six months ended January 31, 2008 we recognized $524,000 in non-cash compensation expense to employees. In comparison, we only recognized $130,000 in non-cash compensation expense to employees during the six months ended January 31, 2009.

Legal and professional fees. Legal and professional fees increased by $15,000, or 10%, from the six months ended January 31, 2008 to the six months ended January 31, 2009.

During the six months ended January 31, 2009 we only recognized $2,000 in bad debt expense associated with uncollectible accounts.

Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization increased by $6,000 or 8%, from the six months ended January 31, 2008 to the six months ended January 31, 2009. The increase is attributed to the additional amortization associated with the new computers and servers acquired since January 31, 2008.

Operating income (loss). The Company’s operating loss increased by $70,000, or 34%, from the six months ended January 31, 2008 to the six months ended January 31, 2009. The increase in operating loss between periods is attributed to the decrease in gross margin; the decrease in gross margin and was slightly offset by the decrease between periods in SG&A expenses.

Other Income (expense). Other expense during six months ended January 31, 2009 included a gain on early extinguishment of debt of $108,000, which was attributed to a discount of $108,000 recognized as a result of the settlement of the promissory note with The Shaar Fund. However, the gain was offset by our equity interest in Fiesta Communications and an increase in interest expense of $45,000, or 94%, from $48,000 for the six months ended January 31, 2008 to $93,000 for the six months ended January 31, 2009. The increase is attributed to the additional interest expense incurred as a result of the new promissory notes with various holders for $850,000 and a promissory note with San Antonio National Bank for $425,000.

Net income (loss). Net loss increased by $74,000, or 35%, from the six months ended January 31, 2008 to the six months ended January 31, 2009. The increase in net loss between periods is attributed to the decrease between periods in operating income and the increase between periods in other expenses.

Preferred stock dividends. Preferred stock dividends decreased by $12,000, or 100%, between periods, from $12,000 for the six months ended January 31, 2008 to $0 during the six months ended January 31, 2009. The decrease in preferred dividends between periods is mainly attributed to a decrease in dividends associated with Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, none of which were outstanding during the six months ended January 31, 2009.

Reversal of previously recorded preferred stock dividends. During the six months ended January 31, 2008, we recognized a reversal of previously recorded dividend expense of $340,000. This reversal occurred as result of the settlement agreement reached between ATSI and The Shaar Fund. Under the settlement agreement, the Shaar Fund agreed to surrender 742 shares of ATSI’s 6% Series D Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock and forgive accrued dividends of approximately $340,000 as of October 24, 2007. We did not recognize any reversals of previously recorded preferred stock dividends during the six months ended January 31, 2009.

Net income (loss) applicable to common stockholders. Net (loss) applicable to common stockholders increased by $402,000, or 353%, from the six months ended January 31, 2008 to the six months ended January 31, 2009. The increase in net (loss) between periods is attributed to the decrease between periods of $367,000 in gross margin, increase of $15,000 in legal and professional fees, increase of $45, 000 in interest expense and the increase of $26,000 in minority interest expense. Additionally, during the six months ended January 31, 2008 we recognized a reversal of previously recorded preferred dividend of $340,000. We did not recognize this type of reversal during the six months ended January 31, 2009. The decrease in the reversal of previously recorded preferred divided was slightly offset by the decrease of $394,000 in non-cash compensation expense to employees and a decrease between periods of $67,000 in gain on early extinguishment of debt as a result of the settlement of a promissory note.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Position: We had a cash balance of $1,258,000 as of January 31, 2009. Net cash consumed by operating activities during the six months ended January 31, 2009 was approximately $904,000. Investing activities during the six months ended January 31, 2009 consumed $138,000, consisting of an increase of $70,000 in the note receivable from Fiesta Communications, a related party, and investments in certificates of deposit of $5,000 and $62,000 guarantying the acquisition of various computers and servers. Financing activities during the six months ended January 31, 2009 provided $962,000 in cash. This cash was primarily provided by a promissory note payable of $425,000 with San Antonio National Bank and a financing from various note holders for $850,000. The cash received from the various promissory notes were slightly offset by the cash consumed by debt principal payments of $264,000 associated with various notes payable, acquisition of our common stock of $48,000 and principal payments of $1,000 associated with a capital lease obligation. Overall, our net operating, investing and financing activities during the six months ended January 31, 2009 consumed $80,000 in our available cash.

We are currently utilizing the cash received from various promissory notes payable for $1,275,000. We believe that this financing will allow us to support our growth during the following fiscal year. Additionally, we are utilizing the factoring agreement with Wells Fargo Bank as necessary to provide cash for operations. Under the agreement we are able to factor up to $5,000,000 of our monthly accounts receivable. On average, we are factoring account receivables of $60,000 per month. As of January 31, 2009 we had $13,000 of outstanding receivables under the Wells Fargo Factoring agreement.

Our current cash expenses are expected to be approximately $150,000 per month, including wages, rent, utilities and corporate professional fees. We are currently using approximately $13,000 per month of our available cash to cover all monthly cash expenses. We anticipate that the January 31, 2009 cash balance of $1,258,000 combined with expected net cash flow generated from future operations and the factoring agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, will be sufficient to fund our operations, capital asset expenditures and potential common stock repurchases for the next twelve months.

Our working capital was $468,000 as of January 31, 2009. This represents an improvement of approximately $41,000 from our working capital at July 31, 2008. The improvement can primarily be attributed to the reduction of $414,000 in current liabilities as a result of the settlement of a promissory note with The Shaar Fund and payments to our vendors.
