conditions of the Company's stock option plan.


The appointment of Mr. Hettich as CFO of the Company and the resignation of the

Strata-X's Board of Directors. The resignation of Mr. Bradley as CFO was
accepted by Strata-X's Board of Directors as of the date of this press release.
Mr. Bradley's planned departure will allow him to focus his energies on his
consulting business which the Company will continue to engage for certain
accounting and tax services. Mr. Bradley will remain on the Board as a
non-executive Director. "As CFO, Mr. Bradley led the Company from its inception
through considerable growth periods with his efforts being instrumental to those
successes. The Company deeply appreciates his contributions as CFO and very much
looks forward to his continued involvement as a member of the Board," says
Timothy Hoops, CEO.
