American Telecom Services Financial Reporting Update.


CITY OF INDUSTRY, Calif. -- American Telecom Services Inc. (AMEX: TES), a provider of converged communications solutions, today announced that the American Stock Exchange (the "Exchange") has accepted the Company's plan of remediation with respect to its delinquent Annual Report on Form 10-K for its fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 and that the Company has made a reasonable demonstration of its ability to regain compliance with the applicable continued listing standards of the Exchange and that the Company's listing on the exchange will be continued pursuant to an extension granted that will expire on January 16, 2008.

Additionally, the Company received a notice from the Exchange of its determination that the Company has a financial impairment based on a review of summary financial statements that will be included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K, that will be filed within the coming week. The summary financials indicated losses and resulting levels of shareholder equity that were below the Exchange's continued listing standards. The Company is required to submit a plan of remediation (the "Plan") by January 4, 2008 advising the Exchange of any action it has taken, or will take, that would bring the Company into compliance with the Exchange's continued listing standards within a 6-month period. Upon receipt of the Plan, the Exchange will evaluate it and determine whether the Company has made a reasonable demonstration of an ability to regain compliance with the Exchange's continued listing standards. If the Plan is accepted, the Company may be able to continue its listing during the Plan period, during which time it will be subject to periodic reviews to determine whether it is making progress consistent with the Plan.

The payment of dividends on the Company's 8% Convertible Preferred Stock will be delayed. The dividend payment is due on December 15, 2007. According to the terms contained in the Company's Certificate of Designation for such Preferred Stock, this delay in payment will result in an increase in the dividend rate from 8% to 12% during the time that the dividend arrearage remains in effect.
