ADDvantage Technologies Reports Fiscal 2007 Third Quarter Earnings

Record Revenue of $17.6 Million
Record Net Income of $0.19 per diluted share

BROKEN ARROW, Oklahoma, August 13, 2007 – ADDvantage Technologies Group, Inc. (AMEX: AEY), today announced its results for fiscal third quarter 2007.

For the three month period ended June 30, 2007, revenue increased 33% to $17.6 million, compared to $13.2 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2006, the highest level of quarterly revenue achieved in the Company’s history.

Net income attributable to common stockholders in the third quarter of 2007 was $2.0 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, compared to $1.1 million, or $0.11 per diluted share for the same period last year, an increase of 82%.

For the nine months ended June 30, 2007, revenue totaled $48.4 million, compared to $40.4 million for the first nine months of 2006, representing an increase of 20%. Net income attributable to common stockholders for the nine months was $5.0 million, or $0.49 per diluted share, a 43% increase from net income of $3.5 million, or $0.35 per diluted share, for the first nine months of fiscal 2006.

Ken Chymiak, ADDvantage Technologies Group President and CEO, commented, “This was a stellar quarter for us, as we achieved the highest level of revenue and profitability in the Company’s history. We experienced strong demand for new products from several large customers that are performing system upgrades to offer additional and expanded ‘triple play’ services.  In addition, our third quarter and fiscal 2007 revenues continue to be bolstered by sales of our recently added digital converter box product line which totaled $0.9 million for the quarter and $2.2 million year to date.  Along with our continued success, we have had some exciting business developments in recent months. We announced the expansion of our Scientific-Atlanta (SA) authorized repair service agreement, which added the SA PrismaÒ Fiber Optics product line to our list of authorized repair services.  Additionally, JDSU, a leading manufacturer of test and optical products, appointed our Jones Broadband subsidiary as its service partner for the western United States.  In addition, we recently announced that we have added four new members to our Board of Directors. This has been a very successful time for ADDvantage, and we are optimistic that we can continue this momentum through the remainder of the fourth quarter and into fiscal 2008.”

Mr. Chymiak added, “Prior to the July 1, 2007 effective date of the FCC ban on sales of legacy converter boxes, we had anticipated a surge in domestic buying. However, many of the smaller and mid-size cable companies expected the deadline to be extended or applied for an FCC waiver. The FCC granted several waivers on June 29, 2007, and continues to review waiver requests.  For the quarter ending September 30, 2007, we have received several purchase orders from domestic cable companies that have been granted FCC waivers.  As such, we expect there will continue to be a domestic market for our legacy boxes until the FCC waivers expire, some of which extend until February 2009.  In addition, we continue to receive international orders which we expect will be our largest market over the next several years.”
