Infotopia Announces Relocation of Its Corporate Offices to Canfield, Ohio
Infotopia Expends Staff and Personnel
Hires New Vice President of Corporate Finance
BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 14, 2001--Infotopia, Inc. (OTC BB: IFTP) (``Infotopia'' or the ``Company''), announced today that it is relocating corporate offices from Raynham, Massachusetts to Canfield, Ohio. The new offices will be fully operational during the first week of July. This new corporate move will benefit the Company, as the lease cost is substantially lower than on East and West Coast metropolitan areas. New central location will also minimize travel time and expense for Company's employees involved in overseeing Pacific operations. The company will maintain its East Coast presence through working with its New York based attorneys, accountants and public relations firms.

The Company has also announced that it has employed Mr. Ronald Fricke as its Vice President of Corporate Finance. Mr. Fricke will be involved in financial matters of the Company, specifically working with banking institutions on securing various, traditional types of funding, such as lines of credits. His previous experience of working with public entities will also benefit Infotopia in preparing financial forecasts and SEC filings. Mr. Fricke served as the Vice President and Financial Manager for Corporate Banking for PNC Financial Service Corporation, in Pittsburgh, PA and prior to that the Audit Manager for KPMG Peat Marwick, where he gathered extensive skills in preparing public corporations' 10Q's and K's. In addition Mr. Fricke is a Certified Public Accountant and is a graduate from Duquennes University.

Alan Ricks, Vice President of Operations, stated, `` This corporate move is a part of a strategic and carefully planned process of establishing a solid infrastructure that Infotopia requires in order to sustain the fast paced growth it is experiencing. After evaluation of other areas of the country we concluded that the relatively low operational cost of midwestern location along with the lower labor expense would enable us to keep our corporate overhead low. The location will keep us in close proximity to the New York Financial Markets.''

Daniel Hoyng, stated, ``Mr. Fricke's experience will help us to establish traditional lines of institutional credit and corporate financing thus allowing us to significantly reduce our dependence on equity funding. His audit background will further strengthen our accounting department. Infotopia is please to attract an individual with Mr. Fricke's experience and qualifications.''
