TXS Texada Software Inc.

NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES OF AMERICA WIRE SERVICES OR DISSEMINATION
IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA


Texada Software Inc. (TSX VENTURE:TXS) (the "Company") is pleased to announce
that further to its press release dated August 2, 2011, the Company's
wholly-owned U.S. subsidiary (the "Subsidiary") has closed the acquisition of
the operating assets of Rolls Scaffold & Equipment Inc., dba Rolls High Reach,
Inc. ("Rolls"), a Southern California-based four location, 50 employee aerial
equipment rental business, which was established in 1958 (the "SoCal
Acquisition"). 


The SoCal Acquisition was accomplished through two separate transactions,
namely: (a) the acquisition of certain rental fleet and other operating business
assets (excluding scaffolding assets and certain other assets which will be
retained by Rolls) from Rolls for cash and assumed liabilities totaling
approximately US $1.1 million; and (b) the acquisition of rental fleet from an
existing lender. The lender provided term financing of approximately US$9.6
million (the "Lender Financing") in conjunction with this acquisition, repayable
over a 48 month period and carrying an interest rate of 7.0% per annum. The
Lender Financing was secured by a first security interest over all of the assets
of the Subsidiary. The Company will act as the guarantor for the Lender
Financing. The lender will also provide additional rental fleet financing of up
to US $3.4 million post-closing, to assist the Company in the expansion of its
rental fleet. The combination of (a) and (b) result in total consideration for
the SoCal Acquisition by the Company of approximately US $10.7 million. 


The vertical integration of the Company's operations into the rental equipment
business is not without risk. These risks include, but are not limited to, the
considerable financial leverage and annual debt repayment requirements relative
to anticipated cash flows, the execution of an operational turnaround for the
acquisition, the effect on operations as a result of any reaction of the
Company's rental industry competitors to its expansion into the rental equipment
sector, the reaction of the Company's existing equipment rental customers for
its asset management software, the ability to retain the Roll's current
customers and attract new customers and the availability of additional capital
to grow the rental business beyond the platform of the acquisition. There can be
no assurances that sufficient capital will be available on acceptable terms and
conditions, or at all. 


Further information on the business can be found at the following website:
www.rollsscaffold.com. The Company is not responsible for any information
included at this website. 


The Company also announced today that it completed the initial closing (the
"Initial Closing"), of the previously announced non-brokered private placement
(the "Private Placement"), of 37,500,000 common shares of the Company (the
"Common Shares") at a price of $0.10 per share for gross proceeds of $3,750,000.
The Company anticipates closing the remainder of the Private Placement of up to
additional 2,500,000 Common Shares for gross proceeds of up to $250,000 in one
or more tranches prior to September 16, 2011. The Company will close the
subsequent tranches of the Private Placement of up to $250,000 regardless of the
closing of the proposed acquisition of the operating assets of DixEquip Inc., as
announced in the Company's press release dated August 2, 2011. The Common Shares
issued in connection with the Initial Closing will be subject to a hold period
of four months and one day from the date of distribution under applicable
securities laws. The Private Placement is subject to receipt of final TSX
Venture Exchange approval.
