-- Advant-e Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: ADVC), a leading provider of Internet-based business-to-business electronic commerce services, today announced financial and operating results for the year ended December 31, 2003.

For the period the Company reported revenues of $2,942,992 compared to $2,008,389 for the fiscal year ended 2002. The 47% increase in revenues is attributed to the expansion and market acceptance of the Company's Internet-based electronic commerce subscription services. Internet-based revenue in 2003 increased 60% from $1,728,996 in 2002 to $2,760,200 in 2003.

Net income for 2003 was $215,175 or $.04 per share compared to a net loss in 2002 of $307,534 or ($.05) per share. These results are due to increased revenue and an active program of cost control and containment.

For the fourth quarter of 2003 the Company reported revenue of $818,641 and net income of $182,836 or $.03 per share compared to revenue of $567,292 and a net loss of $161,301 or ($.03) for the fourth quarter of 2002.

The Company reduced it's total liabilities to $485,935 from $1,213,353 as of December 31, 2003 in large part due to the conversion and payment of the majority of the Company's convertible notes that were issued in 2001 and 2002. Shareholders equity at year-end increased to $879,360 from $22,633 in 2002.

Commenting on the year-end results, Mr. Wadzinski, President and CEO of Advant-e stated, "2003 was a great year for us. With the increase in revenue from our core products and services combined with our vigilance in monitoring expenses, we are pleased to report a significant improvement over 2002. Due to the reduction of the majority of our outstanding debt in 2003 and our improved cash balance, we began 2004 in a much better position as we strive to increase the market acceptance of our existing products and services along with introducing new solutions that help our customers connect, integrate, manage, and expand their e-business trading communities."
