ATC Healthcare Announces First Quarter 2006 Results of Operations; Sales up 8% from the Fourth Quarter

ATC Healthcare, Inc. (AMEX:AHN), a national leader in
medical staffing, today reported results for its first quarter of
fiscal year end 2006, which ended May 31, 2005.
   Revenues for the first quarter ended May 31, 2005 net of
discontinued operations were $17.0 million compared to $18.7 million
for the quarter ended May 31, 2004. The reduction in revenues is due
to the Company closing marginally performing offices during the second
half of fiscal 2004. Net loss for the quarter ended May 31, 2005 was
$1.4 million including a loss on discontinued operations of $577
thousand or $(0.05) per diluted share (EPS), versus a net loss of $55
thousand including income from discontinued operations of $245
thousand or $0.00 per diluted share (EPS) for the quarter ending May
31, 2004
   "ATC made considerable progress during this quarter. We sold our
Allcare Nursing business helping to bring our debt down to manageable
levels. We were awarded $12 million in new government contracts and
increased sales 8% from the prior quarter. We will continue to look
for ways to rebuild revenue and improve our operations so that we can
deliver better bottom line results as we go forward this year" stated
David Savitsky, Chief Executive Officer.
   In conjunction with this release, management will host a
