ADDVANTAGE TECHNOLOGIES GROUP, INC. ANNOUNCES
    REDEMPTION OF PREFERRED SHARES


BROKEN ARROW, Oklahoma November 27, 2007 – ADDvantage Technologies Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:AEY) (the “Company”) announced today that it has redeemed  300,000 shares of its Series B 7% Cumulative Preferred Stock at its aggregate stated value of $12.0 million, plus accrued but unpaid dividends totaling $133,480, representing all of the Company’s outstanding Series B Preferred shares. The Company has financed the redemption with bank debt from its primary lender by amending and extending an existing term loan facility that currently has $4.3 million outstanding.  The new combined $16.3 million Term Debt will mature over five years and requires quarterly principal payments of $407,500, plus accrued interest, beginning January 2008. Interest on the outstanding indebtedness accrues at a rate equal to 1.4% per annum in excess to the 30day London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), currently 6.18%. 

Management expects the redemption will increase earnings per share attributable to the common stockholders by approximately $0.03 cents per year as the dividends payable with respect to the Series B 7% Cumulative Preferred Stock are not deductible for federal income tax purposes, while the interst on the bank debt will be deductible.  Furthermore, the resulting impact to the Company’s cash flows from the transaction is expected to be neutral for fiscal 2008 and 2009.  The approximate $100,000 increase in the quarterly principal payments associated with the amended Term Loan is expected to be offset by the expected reduction in the amounts of  taxes paid by the Company.    All of the outstanding shares of Series B 7% Cumulative Preferred Stock were held beneficially by David Chymiak, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company, and Kenneth Chymiak, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company.
