ADB SYSTEMS REPORTS Q2 FINANCIAL RESULTS
Confirms outlook and guidance

Toronto, ON - August 10, 2005 - ADB Systems International (TSX: ADY; OTCBB: ADBYF), a global provider of asset lifecycle management solutions, reported its interim financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2005. All figures are in Canadian dollars.

Consistent with its revised guidance of July 20, ADB’s total revenues for the second quarter of 2005 were $1.29 million, a decrease of 16 percent from $1.54 million in the first quarter and a decrease of three percent from $1.33 million in the second quarter of 2004. Revenues were comprised of software license sales, service fees for software development and implementation, application hosting, maintenance, support and training.

“As reported previously, delays in the implementation of our technology within the National Health Service and longer than expected sales cycles in North America impacted our Q2 results,” said Jeff Lymburner, CEO of ADB Systems. “We have taken a number of corrective measures, and as evidenced by the number of proposals presented to customers, confirmed development projects and the number of purchase orders received in recent weeks, we believe that we are back on plan. Based on recent performance, we anticipate revenues increasing by 15 percent over Q2 2005 results. This would represent a year-over-year increase of 70 percent over Q3 of 2004.”

Net loss in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for the second quarter was $1.18 million or $0.02 per basic share. ADB reported a net loss of $736,000 or $0.01 per basic share in the first quarter of 2005 and $1.42 million or $0.02 per basic share in the second quarter of 2004.

Cash and marketable securities as of June 30, 2005 totaled $234,000.

Since the end of the second quarter, ADB has received a cash investment from a Company Director and revenues from customer activities. The Company is also currently engaged in discussions that it believes will generate appropriate funds to sustain its operations.
