Advant-e Corporation Announces First Quarter

2012 Results

Quarterly Revenue Increased by 7% and Net Income Increased by 1%

Compared to the First Quarter of 2011

DAYTON, Ohio, May 14, 2012 — Advant-e Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: ADVC) today announced financial and operating results for the first quarter of 2012. 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 first quarter of 2012 of $2,465,438 increased by 7% over revenue of $2,300,420 in the first quarter of 2011. Revenue from Edict Systems increased by 8% and revenue from Merkur Group was approximately the same, compared to the first quarter in 2011.

Net income in the first quarter of 2012 was $387,207, or $.006 per share, compared to net income of $385,087, or $.006 per share, in the same period in 2011. Net income for Edict Systems decreased 2% while net income for Merkur Group increased by 20%.

Jason K. Wadzinski, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “We again exceeded our 20% pre-tax profitability goal this quarter, although the higher cost of our new headquarters had an impact on net income. Pre-tax profitability was 24% and our cash position remains strong.”

“We continued rolling out our updated Web EDI service to existing customers this quarter and plan on accelerating conversions over the remainder of this year,” continued Mr. Wadzinski. “This new platform will enable us to offer additional services to our customers as well as attract new customers who want to utilize their EDI data in analyzing their business activities and optimizing performance.”
