Advant-e Corporation Announces Second Quarter 2006 Results
Company Reports Record Revenue and Net Income

DAYTON, Ohio, August 3 2006 -- Advant-e Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: ADVC - News), a provider of Internet-based business-to-business electronic commerce services, today announced financial and operating results for the quarter ending June 30, 2006.

For the second quarter of 2006 the Company reported revenues of $1,333,758, a 24% increase over revenues of $1,076,385 in the second quarter of 2005. The increase in revenue is attributed to continued strong demand in grocery and retail as well as growth in the automotive supply chain sector for the company's web EDI services.

Net income for the quarter was a record $230,855, or $.03 per share, a 92% increase over net income of $120,270, or $.02 per share for the same period in 2005.

"The second quarter of 2006 represents another record for Advant-e Corporation, both in revenue as well as net income, " said Jason K. Wadzinski, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "We continue to execute our plan of investing in the company's growth. Our capital spending on infastructure and new product development for the first six months of 2006 increased by 145% over 2005 and we are continuing to increase the Edict Systems staff in support of our growth initiatives. Our position in the grocery and retail sectors continues to be strong and our automotive supply chain activities have increased. Automotive-based revenue has more than doubled in the first six months of this year over last year. I would like to take this opportunity to thank our valued customers, the dedicated and hard-working Edict Systems team, and all our business partners for another excellent quarter."

For the six months ending June 30, 2006 the Company reported revenues of $2,595,927, a 23% increase over revenues of $2,115,873 in the same period in 2005. Net income for the period in 2006 was $398,561, or $.06 per share, compared to $225,379, or $.04 per share in the 2005 period.
