2009 Results

Company Reports Net Income Increased by 11% over Second Quarter of

2008 Despite 4% Revenue Decline

DAYTON, Ohio, August 13, 2009 — Advant-e Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: AVEE) today announced financial and operating results for the second 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 second quarter of 2009 the Company reported revenue of $2,200,958, a 4% decrease compared to revenue of $2,300,267 in the second quarter of 2008. Revenue from Edict Systems increased by $65,555, but revenue from Merkur Group fell by $164,864.

Net income for the second quarter of 2009 was $311,263, or $.05 per share, an 11% increase compared to net income of $279,625, or $.04 per share, for the same period in 2008.

Jason K.

While Merkur’s revenue is down over last year, Merkur has contributed significantly to our increased net income in the quarter.”

“Our focus for the remainder of 2009 will be to continue our push into additional industries and increase our investment in upgrades and enhancements, primarily in our Web EDI offerings and integration solutions.”
