Advant-e Corporation Announces First Quarter 2009 Results

Company Reports Net Income for 23^rd Consecutive Quarter; Revenue for Internet-based EDI

Services Increased; Software Revenue Decreased

DAYTON, Ohio, May 15, 2009 — Advant-e Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: AVEE) today announced financial and operating results for the first quarter of 2009. The Company provides Internet-based Electronic Data Interchange services through Edict Systems, Inc. and sells electronic document management software and services through Merkur Group, Inc. Edict Systems and Merkur Group are wholly owned subsidiaries of Advant-e Corporation.

For the first quarter of 2009 the Company reported revenue of $2,155,291, an 8% decrease compared to revenue of $2,345,234 in the first quarter of 2008. Revenue from Edict Systems increased by $111,752, but revenue from Merkur Group fell by $301,695.

Net income for the first quarter of 2009 was $234,677, or $.03 per share, an 11% decrease compared to net income of $264,910, or $.04 per share, for the same period in 2008.

Jason K. Wadzinski, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, remarked, “As stated in previous earnings releases, current economic weakness is having a more pronounced impact on software sales by Merkur Group than internet-based EDI services provided by Edict Systems. Although Merkur’s results are below our internal targets, the steep decline in Merkur’s revenue year-over-year is mainly due to the strong sales Merkur reported in the first quarter of 2008.”

“I believe that given the current economic conditions, our overall performance and level of profitability are satisfactory. We are continuing to focus on our core markets as well as expanding into new industries and we are investing in the people and resources deemed appropriate to position the company for increased activity going forward.”
