SARASOTA, FL, May 24, 2005 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX) --
Bentley Commerce Corporation (OTC BB: BLYC) (www.bentleycommerce.com), the leader in Internet and point of purchase barter and trade, announced financial results for its third quarter ended March 31, 2005, of fiscal year 2005. Revenue for the nine months was $379,744 (2196% higher), Operating Expenses were $1,978,442 (43% lower) and Operating Loss was $1,598,698 (53% lower) than the same period in the prior year.

For the three months ended March 31, 2005, Bentley Commerce's revenues were $103,628, an increase of 599.2% as compared to $17,293 for the three months ended March 31, 2004. The increase was due to an increase in trade volume among its affiliated exchanges that resulted in the Company earning more fees during this period, as well as obtaining and utilizing earned trade dollars to offset expenses that would otherwise be paid in cash.

Operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2005, were $703,315, a decrease of 69.6% as compared to $2,316,383 for the three months ended March 31, 2004. This decrease was primarily attributed to consolidating and centralizing the Company's operations at one facility, enabling the company to provide a higher level of customer service while significantly reducing operational costs.

The increase in revenue and the decrease in operating expenses resulted in a 73.9% decrease in the loss from operations that was $599,687 for the three months ended March 31, 2005, compared to $2,299,090 for the three months ended March 31, 2004.

For the nine months ended March 31, 2005, revenues were $379,744 compared to $17,293 for the nine months ended March 31, 2004, a 2195.9% gain. Operating expenses for the nine months ended March 31, 2005, were $1,978,442, down 42.7% compared to $3,452,200 for the nine months ended March 31, 2004. Loss from operations for the nine months ended March 31, 2005, was $1,598,698 a 53.4% decrease compared to $3,434,907 for the nine months ended March 31, 2004.

"Earning revenue in fiscal 2004 in a company that in prior years had none, is one of the key milestones we attained," said Bruce Kamm, Bentley Commerce's CEO. "Being able to do this while substantially decreasing operating expenses is indicative of our management's focus. Couple this with about $500 million in product and service offers in our Internet-based global trade marketplace, and we anticipate a very promising future for Bentley Commerce."
