April 1, 2008 -- AdStar, Inc. (OTCBB: ADST) today announced an agreement in principle to acquire Relevantis in an all-stock transaction. The acquisition underscores AdStar's commitment to reposition itself as a full service supplier of mobile advertising solutions and adds important proprietary technologies for mobile advertising applications and infrastructures.

Recently, Relevantis has introduced a number of industry 'firsts,' including the first advertising platform to support paid icons for interactive maps and navigation systems; the first to enable highly interactive AJAX advertisements on mobile phones; and the first advertising solution to support Android, Google's mobile phone operating system.'
Leslie continued, 'When we started working with Scott Searle and Relevantis, we quickly recognized the myriad opportunities that we could pursue by combining our two companies and complementary technologies. Our marketing partnership was the initial step. Now, as a single enterprise, we will be better equipped to capitalize on the opportunities, and we will be able to deliver a variety of compelling product and service offerings to the marketplace.'
'We are excited about becoming part of AdStar, and see enormous opportunity to leverage Relevantis' cutting-edge technologies to expand AdStar into new markets,' said Searle. 'As AdStar moves forward in the mobile advertising industry, we can offer publishers, advertisers and developers new ways to monetize their mobile content through relevant and integrated advertising, while also improving the customer experience. Relevantis has worked closely with AdStar over the past year, so we are prepared to immediately bring the solutions to market.'
