Advant-e Corporation Announces Third Quarter

2011 Results

Record Quarterly Revenue Increased by 3% and Net Income Increased

DAYTON, Ohio, November 10, 2011 — Advant-e Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: ADVC) today announced financial and operating results for the third quarter of 2011. The Company provides Internet-based Electronic Data Interchange services through Edict Systems and sells electronic document management software and services through Merkur Group.

Revenue in the third quarter of 2011 of $2,447,674 increased by 3% over revenue of $2,380,510 in the third quarter of 2010. Revenue from Edict Systems increased by 6% and revenue from Merkur Group decreased 14%.

Net income in the third quarter of 2011 was $455,542, or $.007 per share, compared to net income of $434,231, or $.006 per share, in the same period in 2010. Net income from Edict increased 11% while Merkur net income decreased by 36%.

Jason K. Wadzinski, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “Edict Systems reported record revenue and net income this quarter. In addition to growth in both the grocery and automotive industries, we are making some progress in the health care sector.”

“Customers of Edict’s Web EDI service will be upgraded to the latest version over the next several quarters,” continued Mr. Wadzinski. “This upgrade will allow us to expand the depth of our service offerings to our customers and their large trading partners.”

“Although we continue to experience weakness in our software business, Merkur Group contributed approximately $40,000 to net income in the third quarter of 2011.”
