ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 17, 2000

Eltrax Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq:ELTX), a global provider of outsourced information technology solutions, announced that it has closed a three-year, $20 million asset-based revolving credit facility with Pennsylvania-based

PNC Bank. This credit facility replaces Eltrax's facility with Citizens Bank (formerly State Street Bank). Eltrax used approximately $11.6 million of the new facility to retire outstanding indebtedness, and intends to use the available balance for working capital needs and general corporate purposes.

"We are pleased to have PNC as our lender," said Bill Fielder, vice president and chief financial officer of Eltrax. "Establishing this new credit facility is one of several steps necessary to fund the growth we expect to see in our application service provider and technology services consulting business over the next twelve months."

Also, as previously announced, Eltrax is exploring various alternatives to further its strategy of expanding its penetration of the network and application service provider markets, including the valuation and possible disposition of certain non-strategic assets. However, there can be no assurance that any such disposition will occur.
