PACEL Corp. Reports Second Straight Quarter of Revenue Increases Over 250%

MANASSAS, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 25, 2001--PACEL Corp. (OTC BB: PLRP)
announced today that for the three months ended June 30, 2001, sales were
$226,000 for a total of $429,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2001,
compared to $58,000 for the second quarter of 2000 and a total of $116,000
for the six months ended June 30, 2000, an increase of $313,000 or 270%.

The increase in revenues is directly attributed to the sales generated from
existing NATO contracts of Fairfax Communications Limited and from
EBStor.com's increased business in consulting and Web development.

The Company intends to continue to focus its efforts on the marketing of
the ChildWatch(TM) family of products and e-Centurion anti-virus software.
Only limited revenues from the ChildWatch software have been realized to
date due to marketing delays.

The Company's marketing delays stem from the inability to obtain financing
through the second quarter, a difficulty that the Company is working to
address.

David Calkins, president and CEO of PACEL Corp., said, "As a result of our
efforts to obtain continued sources of financing, we have entered into an
equity line of credit arrangement and also issued some convertible
debentures. As part of these financings, registration rights were provided
to the security holders.

"A registration statement was filed on April 25, 2001 with the SEC to
register the shares that may be issued under the equity line of credit
arrangement. This registration statement was subsequently withdrawn on July
10, 2001 to address certain regulatory issues. We anticipate filing a new
registration statement with the SEC covering the common stock under these
arrangements.

"Once the registration statement is declared effective by the SEC, we
intend to use a portion of the proceeds from the equity line of credit to
help fund our marketing plans. In an effort to continue the promotion and
marketing rollout of ChildWatch and e-Centurion, PACEL Corp. has engaged
various services in exchange for stock.

"While this has caused some dilution, we are confident that our stock value
will increase in conjunction with continued increases in sales."

The "Pacesetter" in Internet security, PACEL Corp. is a software
development company headquartered in Manassas, Virginia, a suburb of
Washington, D.C. Two subsidiary companies, EBStor.com and Fairfax
Communications, Limited, provide Web and e-commerce solutions and goods and
services to NATO, respectively.
