(in thousands)

          $ 1,457  

ATSI analyzed the above note payable instruments for derivative accounting consideration and determined that the warrants issued to ATVF, Scott Crist, Roderick Ciaccioa & Vencore Solutions qualify as derivative instruments, 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 as of January 31, 2010.  Additionally, ATSI analyzed the rest of the instruments for derivative accounting and determined that liability treatment was not applicable.

On October 12, 2010, three of the warrant holders exercised their put rights and as a result, the Company made payments to the related warrant holders amounting to $75,000 which was charged to derivative liability and resulted in a remaining balance of $10,000 as of January 31, 2011.  The Company cancelled the related warrants as a result of the payment made for the put rights.

On December 21, 2010, Alfonso Torres waived the accrued interest on his note up to January 31, 2011. As a result, ATSI recognized a gain on forgiveness of accrued interest for $92,000 during the quarter ended January 31, 2011.

On December 30, 2010, an investor relations firm hired by the Company entered into a debt purchase agreement with Alfonso Torres wherein it acquired $100,000 of ATSI’s outstanding debt.. On January 7, 2011, ATSI entered into a debt settlement agreement with the investor relations firm in which ATSI issued 5,000,000 common shares to settle the $100,000 of debt acquired from Alfonso Torres. The difference in the fair value of the shares issued and the amount of debt settled amounting to $100,000 was recognized as a loss on debt extinguishment in the consolidated statements of operations.

NOTE 3 – STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

In September 2005, ATSI adopted its 2005 stock compensation plan.  This plan, as amended, authorizes the grant of up to 17.5 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.

SPECIAL NOTE:  This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  “Forward looking statements” are those statements that describe management’s beliefs and expectations about the future.  We have identified forward-looking statements by using words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “could,” “estimate,” “may,” “expect,” ”plan,” and “intend.”  Although we believe these expectations are reasonable, our operations involve a number of risks and uncertainties.  Some of these risks include the availability and capacity of competitive data transmission networks and our ability to raise sufficient capital to continue operations.  Additional risks are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 8, 2010.

The following is a discussion of the consolidated financial condition and results of operations of ATSI for the three and six months ended January 31, 2011 and 2010.  It should be read in conjunction with our Consolidated Financial Statements, the Notes thereto, and the other financial information included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended July 31, 2010.  For purposes of the following discussion, fiscal 2011 or 2011 refers to the year ended July 31, 2011 and fiscal 2010 or 2010 refers to the year ended July 31, 2010.

Three Months ended January 31, 2011 Compared to Three Months ended January 31, 2010

VoIP Services.  VoIP services revenue decreased by $1,030,000, or 21%, from the quarter ended January 31, 2010 to the quarter ended January 31, 2011.  VoIP minutes carried by our network decreased by 19% from approximately 151,507,891 minutes of voice traffic during the quarter ended January 31, 2010 to approximately 122,880,493 minutes of voice traffic during the quarter ended January 31, 2011.  Our average revenue per minute decreased from $0.032 during the quarter ended January 31, 2010 to $0.031 for the quarter ended January 31, 2011. The decrease in revenue and the average revenue per minute is attributable primarily to the price pressure in our market due to a reduction of international termination.

Hosted Services. Hosted services revenue increased by $45,000, or 167%, from the quarter ended January 31, 2010 to the quarter ended January 31, 2011. The increase in revenue between periods is primarily attributed to the increase in customers that are generating significant monthly recurring hosted services revenue. Hosted services include fully hosted IP/PBX services, IP trunking, call center applications, prepaid services, interactive voice response auto attendant, call recording, simultaneous calling, voicemail to email conversion, and multiple other IP/PBX features in a hosted environment.

Cost of Services (exclusive of depreciation and amortization).  The consolidated cost of services decreased by $929,000, or 21%, from the quarter ended January 31, 2010 to the quarter ended January 31, 2011.  The decrease in cost of services is a direct correlation to the decrease in VoIP services revenue.  Cost of services, as a percentage of revenue decreased by 0.52 % between periods, from 92.19% of revenue during the quarter ended January 31, 2010 to 91.67% of revenue during the quarter ended January 31, 2011.  The decrease in cost of services as a percentage of revenue was due to the decrease in costs from our vendors realized during the quarter ended January 31, 2011.

Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) Expenses (exclusive of legal and professional fees).  SG&A expenses increased by $67,000, or 19%, from the quarter ended January 31, 2010 to the quarter ended January 31, 2011.  The increase in SG&A is primarily attributed to the recognition of $94,000 in non-cash expense related to a consulting agreement with various individuals for investor relations services.

Legal and professional fees.  Legal and professional fees increased by $36,000, or 88%, from the quarter ended January 31, 2010 to the quarter ended January 31, 2011.  The increase is attributable to the increase in legal fees associated with our rebranding strategy and various SEC filings.

Bad debt. Bad debt increased by $40,000, or 100%, from the quarter ended January 31, 2010 to the quarter ended January 31, 2011. The increase is attributable to the increase in bad debt expense for certain accounts receivable we deemed we were unlikely to collect. We did not recognize any bad debt expense during the quarter   ended January 31, 2010.
 
Depreciation and amortization.  Depreciation and amortization decreased by $18,000 or 41%, from the quarter ended January 31, 2010 to the quarter ended January 31, 2011.  The decrease is attributed to the decline in depreciation on assets that had reached their useful life; as a result the assets were no longer required to be depreciated during the three months ended January 31, 2011.
 
Operating loss.  The Company reported an operating loss of $241,000 for the three months ended January 31, 2011 compared to an operating loss of $60,000 for the three months end January 31, 2010.  The increase in operating loss is primarily attributed to the decrease in margin of $56,000 between periods and the increase in SG&A of $67,000 primarily attributed to the recognition of $94,000 in non-cash expense related to a consulting agreement with various individuals for investor relations services and the recognition of $40,000 of bad debt expense.

Other income (expense).  Other expenses increased by $21,000, or 55% from the quarter ended January 31, 2010 to the quarter ended January 31, 2011. The primary reason for the increase in other expenses is attributed to the recognition of $100,000 in loss on debt extinguishment related to the debt settlement agreement with Recap Marketing, in which ATSI issued 5,000,000 common shares with a value of $200,000 to settle $100,000 of debt acquired from Alfonso Torres; the difference between the market value of the common shares issued and the debt was recognized as a loss. Additionally, during the quarter ended January 31, 2011 the Company recognized a gain on forgiveness of accrued interest of $92,000 related to the interest waiver agreement entered with Alfonso Torres.  Furthermore, ATSI recognized an increase in interest expense between periods associated to the additional interest incurred for the increase in outstanding financings secured during the quarter ended January 31, 2011.

Net Loss Attributable to ATSI Communications, Inc.  Net loss attributable to ATSI's shareholders increased by $202,000 or 206%, from the quarter ended January 31, 2010 to the quarter ended January 31, 2011.  The increase in net loss is primarily attributed to the decrease in margin of $56,000 between periods and the increase in SG&A of $67,000 primarily attributed to the recognition of $94,000 in non-cash expense related to a consulting agreement with various individuals for investor relation services and the recognition of $40,000 of bad debt expense.

Six Months ended January 31, 2011 Compared to Six Months ended January 31, 2010

VoIP Services.  VoIP services revenue decreased by $1,791,000, or 18%, from the six months ended January 31, 2010 to the six months ended January 31, 2011.  VoIP minutes carried by our network decreased by 14% from approximately 285,046,402 minutes of voice traffic during the six months ended January 31, 2010 to approximately 243,873,481 minutes of voice traffic during the six months ended January 31, 2011.  Our average revenue per minute decreased from $0.035 during the six months ended January 31, 2010 to $0.033 for the six months ended January 31, 2011. The decrease in revenue and the average revenue per minute is attributable primarily to the price pressure in our market due to a reduction of international termination.

Hosted Services. Hosted services revenue increased by $73,000, or 162%, from the six months ended January 31, 2010 to the six months ended January 31, 2011. The increase in revenue between periods is primarily attributed to the increase in customers that are generating significant monthly recurring hosted services revenue. Hosted services include fully hosted IP/PBX services, IP trunking, call center applications, prepaid services, interactive voice response auto attendant, call recording, simultaneous calling, voicemail to email conversion, and multiple other IP/PBX features in a hosted environment.

Cost of Services (exclusive of depreciation and amortization).  The consolidated cost of services decreased by $1,769,000, or 19%, from the six months ended January 31, 2010 to the six months ended January 31, 2011.  The decrease in cost of services is a direct correlation to the decrease in VoIP services revenue.  Cost of services, as a percentage of revenue decreased by 2.04% between periods, from 93.30% of revenue during the six months ended January 31, 2010 to 91.26% of revenue during the six months ended January 31, 2011.  The decrease in cost of services as a percentage of revenue was due to the decrease in costs from our vendors realized during the quarter ended January 31, 2011. Also, as a result of the decrease in costs of service as a percent of sales, our gross margin improved by $51,000, or 8%, from $662,000 for the six months ended January 31, 2010 compared to $713,000 for the six months ended January 31, 2011.

Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) Expenses (exclusive of legal and professional fees).  SG&A expenses increased by $275,000, or 38%, from the six months ended January 31, 2010 to the six months ended January 31, 2011.  The increase in SG&A is primarily attributed to the recognition of $261,000 in non-cash compensation expense to employees during the six months ended January 31, 2011 (we only recognized $17,000 in non-cash compensation expense to employees during the six months ended January 31, 2010) and the recognition of $94,000 in non-cash expense related to a consulting agreement with various individuals for investor relations services.

Legal and professional fees.  Legal and professional fees decreased by $6,000, or 4%, from the six months ended January 31, 2010 to the six months ended January 31, 2011.  The decrease is attributable to the decrease in investor relations fees, audit fees and attorney's fees as a result of expense control measures implemented during fiscal 2011.

Bad debt. Bad debt increased by $40,000, or 100%, from the six months ended January 31, 2010 to the six months ended January 31, 2011.

We did not recognize any bad debt expense during the six months ended January 31, 2010.

Depreciation and amortization.  Depreciation and amortization decreased by $36,000 or 41%, from the six months ended January 31, 2010 to the six months ended January 31, 2011.  The decrease is attributed to the decline in depreciation on assets that had reached their useful life; as a result the assets were no longer required to be depreciated during the six months ended January 31, 2011.
 
Operating loss.  The Company reported an operating loss $512,000 for the six months ended January 31, 2011 compared to an operating loss of $290,000 for the six months end January 31, 2010. The increase in operating loss is primarily attributed to the recognition of $261,000 in non-cash compensation expense to employees during the six months ended January 31, 2011 (we only recognized $17,000 of non-cash compensation expense to employees during the six months ended January 31, 2010), the recognition of $94,000 in non-cash expense related to a consulting agreement with various individuals for investor relations services and the recognition of $40,000 of bad debt expense during the six months ended January 31, 2011; during the six months ended January 31, 2010 we did not recognize any bad debt expense.  The increase in expenses was slightly offset by an improvement in gross margins of $51,000.

Other income (expense).  Other expenses increased by $24,000, or 29% from the six months ended January 31, 2010 to the six months ended January 31, 2011.  The primary reason for the increase in other expenses is attributed to the recognition of $100,000 in loss on debt extinguishment related to the debt settlement agreement with Recap Marketing, in which ATSI issued 5,000,000 common shares with a value of $200,000 to settle $100,000 of debt acquired from Alfonso Torres; the difference between the market value of the common shares issued and the debt was recognized as a loss.

During the six months ended January 31, 2010, we recognized $24,000 associated to the losses incurred in Fiesta and Telefamilia, however, during the six months ended January 31, 2011 we did not incur any losses related to Fiesta and Telefamilia, since the related investment has been written off.

Net Loss Attributable to ATSI Communications, Inc.  Net loss attributable to ATSI's shareholders increased by $270,000 or 78%, from the six months ended January 31, 2010 to the six months ended January 31, 2011.  The increase in net loss is primarily attributed to the recognition of $261,000 in non-cash compensation expense to employees during the six months ended January 31, 2011 (we only recognized $17,000 of non-cash compensation expense to employees during the six months ended January 31, 2010), the recognition of $94,000 in non-cash expense related to a consulting agreement with various individuals for investor relations services and the recognition of $40,000 of bad debt expense during the six months ended January 31, 2011; during the six months ended January 31, 2010 we did not recognize any bad debt expense.  The increase in expenses was slightly offset by an improvement in gross margins of $51,000.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Position:  We had a cash balance of $162,000 as of January 31, 2011.  Net cash consumed by operating activities during the six months ended January 31, 2011 was approximately $335,000. Investing activities during the six months ended January 31, 2011 consumed $14,000, consisting of the acquisition of various servers and computers.  Financing activities during the six months ended January 31, 2011 provided $438,000 in cash.  We received proceeds of $877,000 from various promissory notes during the six months ended January 31, 2011. The cash consumed during the period is associated with the debt principal payments of $291,000 related to various notes payable, the acquisition of a put option on certain warrants for $75,000 and the payment of financing fees on the Thermo Credit note of $73,000. Overall, our net operating, investing and financing activities during the six months ended January 31, 2011 contributed $89,000 of our available cash.

We are currently utilizing our available cash to fund any deficiencies in our cash flows from operations.  During the six months ended January 31, 2011 we received $400,000 from Texas Ventures under the 24 month promissory note.  On August 2, 2010, we entered into a $750,000 revolving credit facility with Thermo Credit to finance our expected growth during the year ending July 31, 2011.

Our current cash expenses are expected to be approximately $150,000 per month, including wages, rent, utilities, corporate professional fees and debt service.  We are currently using $118,000 in cash generated from operations of our available cash to cover all monthly cash outflows.  We anticipate that the cash balance of $162,000, the $750,000 revolving credit facility with Thermo Credit, combined with our ability to raise additional cash from our funding sources and expected net cash flow generated from future operations, will be sufficient to fund our operations and capital asset expenditures for the next twelve months.

Our working capital deficit was $184,000 as of January 31, 2011.  This represents an improvement of $406,000 from our working capital deficit at July 31, 2010 of $590,000.
