ADB SYSTEMS REPORTS Q3 FINANCIAL RESULTS
Provides outlook and guidance

Toronto, ON - November 9, 2005 - ADB Systems International (TSX: ADY; OTCBB: ADBYF), a global provider of asset lifecycle management solutions, announced today its interim financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2005. All figures are in Canadian dollars.

Consistent with its revised guidance of October 13, ADB’s total revenues for the third quarter were $1.12 million. This compares to $1.29 million in the second quarter of 2005, representing a decrease of 13 percent, and to $886,000 in the third quarter of 2004, representing a growth of 26 percent. Revenues were comprised of software license sales, service fees for software development and implementation, application hosting, maintenance, support and training.

In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), ADB reported a net loss for the third quarter of $800,000 or $0.01 per share, basic and diluted. ADB reported a net loss of $1.18 million or $0.02 per basic share in Q2 and a net loss of $1.52 million or $0.02 per share, basic and diluted, in the third quarter of 2004.

“Although we expected better results for the quarter, we have made considerable year-over-year improvements, increasing our revenues by 26 percent and reducing our net loss by almost 50 percent,” said Jeff Lymburner, CEO of ADB Systems.

ADB held cash and marketable securities as of September 30, 2005 totaling $444,000.

ADB announced that Mike Robb resigned as the company’s chief financial officer effective October 14, 2005. Mr. Bulger, who previously served as CFO from 1996 to 1998, will oversee the company’s finance activities, which are now managed by Darryl Kleebaum, ADB’s corporate controller. A chartered accountant, Mr. Kleebaum will also be responsible for certifying ADB’s financial statements.

“Based on recent trends and our existing sales pipeline, we expect to generate a sequential revenue growth of at least 30 percent in Q4 over Q3,” Mr. Lymburner said. “We believe this revenue growth will result from our continued sales efforts in the oil and gas, healthcare, and government sectors, and through increasing activity with our joint venture with GE.”
