           X-CHANGE CORPORATION RE-ACQUIRES AIRGATE TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

         DALLAS--(Business Wire)--July 28, 2005. The X-Change Corporation (OTC
Bulletin Board: XCHC) has completed the acquisition of AirGATE Technologies,
Inc., an early-stage company specializing in radio frequency identification
(RFID), wireless and intelligent, sensor technology.

         In September 2004, to focus on opportunities in the oil and gas
industry, the X-Change Corporation sold its former interest in AirGATE, an RFID
Company, to the company's employees. The X-Change Corporation received 3.5
Million shares of its common stock and retained a percentage interest in AirGATE
projects under development.

         In December 2004, AirGATE received a purchase order from a Fortune 1000
technology company with interests in the oil and gas industry for the
development of a radio frequency enabled tool. Phase I is complete and the
customer and AirGATE are evaluating the results, and expect further testing in
the near future in Phase II of the project. AirGATE and its customer have filed
two patent applications based on the system and technology.

         With a keen interest in the oil industry and AirGATE's development of
oil field technology and its potential, a decision was made by X-Change
Corporation executives and board members to re-acquire AirGATE. In exchange for
AirGATE, X-Change Corporation issued 10,000,000 shares of its common stock to
the shareholders of AirGATE.

         In addition to its work in the petroleum industry, AirGATE has
continued research and development on its child safety seat "Smart Buckle"
technology and has conducted RFID tests in aerospace, medical instruments and
automotive component re-manufacture with leaders in those industries.

         In conjunction with the acquisition of AirGATE, Charles Stidham has
resigned as Chief Executive Officer and director at X-Change Corporation, and
Dean Elliot resigned as President of the Company. Michael L. Sheriff takes on
the new position as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer at X-Change
Corporation. Scott R. Thompson remains as CFO, Treasurer and will replace Mark
Pierce as Secretary. Mr. Thompson also remains a director, and Robert Barbee
continues as a director and President of the Company's oil and gas subsidiary.
Additional information is available in the Company's 8K filing.

         The new management team has evaluated and will continue to appraise the
prior activities of the X-Change Corporation.

         "Just as AirGATE has focused its efforts on technology services with an
emphasis in the oil and gas industry, it is important that the X-Change
Corporation focus its energies on proven opportunities as well," said Sheriff.
"In reviewing past information and records, we believe that

information released on financial projections, reserves and potential
opportunities may have been overly optimistic. In addition, we continue to
evaluate the opportunities in Cambodia, but have not yet established a permanent
presence in that country. Over the next ninety days, senior management will
evaluate the Company's position relative to leases, production, reserves and
overseas opportunities. If it is determined that these areas are not in the long
term best interests of the company, they will be liquidated or sold."
