FLEXXTECH SELLS UNDER-PERFORMING NORTH TEXAS CIRCUIT BOARD CO. AND ACQUIRES PARADIGM CABLING SYSTEMS LOS ANGELES, CA: SEPTEMBER 17, 2002: Flexxtech Corporation (OTCBB: FLXC) sold through its subsidiary, Primavera Corporation, 100% of the shares of North Texas Circuit Board Company (NTCB) of Grand Prairie, Texas to BC Electronics, Inc. All closing documents were received on September 13, 2002. The purchase price consisted of over $2.25 million that was loaned to NTCB by BC Electronics over the last three months, and ten percent of the net profits of NTCB through December 31, 2007. In an unrelated transaction, Flexxtech acquired eighty percent of W3M, Inc. (dba Paradigm Cabling Systems) as of September 13, 2002. The acquisition price was $1,425,000 of newly issued Class A Preferred Shares. The Class A Preferred Shares are a new class that will be presented to shareholders for a vote within the next 30 days. The transaction is also contingent upon the satisfaction by Flexxtech of audited financial statements, which are expected to be completed by November 1, 2002 for the period ending September 30, 2002. Additional information on Paradigm will be available in upcoming releases and SEC filings. Additionally, the following directors of Flexxtech and its subsidiaries resigned to pursue other interest: Khahn Tran, David Pimentel, Chris Beshlian, of Flexxtech Corporation; Hector Escamellia of Primavera Corporation and Linette Malloy, of NTCB. Greg Mardock became the sole director and officer of Primavera Corporation and President of NTCB prior to the NTCB and BC Electronics transaction. In addition, on September 16, 2002, Michael Cummings, the CEO and President of Paradigm Corporation, became a director of Flexxtech Corporation. Greg Mardock, President of Flexxtech stated, "We continue to move forward with our plans to increase shareholder value in these difficult times. This past year has been difficult for us to pursue our plans. Our plans for growth are contingent on the availability of capital to facilitate change and growth. Our high hopes for NTCB were crippled by our inability to attract the proper capital necessary. We have disposed of our under-performing asset NTCB and its anticipated future losses and piling debt. Our acquisition of Paradigm will not require the intense cash requirements of NTCB. Paradigm sales for 2001 reached $5.6 million with an unaudited loss of near 10%. A restructuring in the first quarter of 2002 should prove to be beneficial for Paradigm moving forward. I am confident we can restore shareholder value and continue moving forward."
