JTS International, Inc. Announces the Closing of a Share Exchange Agreement with ATS Co., Ltd.

NEWBURY PARK, Calif.--Jan. 2, 20066, 2006--JTS International, Inc. (OTC: JTSX - News), a Colorado corporation (the "Company" or "JTS"), announces that it has closed a share exchange agreement with ATS Co., Ltd., a Japanese corporation, pursuant to which ATS Co., Ltd. will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

As a result of the closing of the agreement, the following individuals have been appointed to the company's management team: Masayoshi Ichinomiya, President and CEO, Makoto Omori, Secretary and Mr. Takashi Okamoto, Treasurer. The Company's North American office will be located in Newbury Park with its R&D lab, sales and marketing activities taking place at the Company's location in Matsuyama City, Japan.

Headquartered in Matsuyama City, Japan, ATS has acquired the international sales, marketing and distribution rights to the Uvcut(TM) line of patented ultraviolet radiation absorbing resins and coatings developed by JTS Co., Ltd. The following ATS products are designed to protect people, materials, objects and agricultural plants from the harmful and damaging effects of ultraviolet radiation.

-- Uvcut100: The Uvcut100 coating can be applied to the windows of office buildings and homes to prevent fading of carpets, furniture and wall paper.

-- Uvcut100A: The Uvcut100A coating has been developed for application to automobile windows in order to prevent ultraviolet light damage to automobile interiors and to limit the risk of sunburn to drivers and passengers.

-- Uvcut200: The Uvcut200 coating material is designed for use with outdoor illumination equipment. As a result of blocking the emission of ultraviolet light, the amount of flying insects that are drawn to outdoor lighting fixtures at night is significantly reduced.

-- Uvcut300: The Uvcut300 coating material has been designed for application to vinyl plastic agricultural hothouses. Research has shown that the reduction of UV radiation results in greater levels of the plant growth hormone, Gibberellin. The application of Uvcut300 allows farmers to increase the quality and yield of their hothouse crops. The water emulsion-based coating can be easily sprayed on an agricultural hothouse in a UV absorbing density suitable to a particular crop.

The entire Uvcut product line is water resistant, temperature resistant, noncombustible and non-toxic.
