Falken Industries Ltd. (OTCBB: FLKI) (http://www.falkenltd.com) global player in vehicular and industrial product conceptions, the most popular of which are those marketed under the Clean Plus® brand (http://www.cleanplus.com) announced today that it had, after completion of its due diligence, rejected the unsolicited offer for control made by Norex International.

Manuel Garcia, Communications officer said, "Falken management couldn't get comfortable with Norex' short-term forecasts, their revised proposals which significantly undervalued the business of Falken and most importantly its potential. Moreover, the dilutive impact of Norex' insistence on the issue of more shares, to achieve control was totally unacceptable and clearly not in the best interest of existing shareholders. They simply would not take their offer to the public markets," said Garcia.

"Norex' proposed price and consequential dilution significantly undervalued the company, including the greater value obtainable from the company's strategic plan, especially the value inherent in the company's diversified and robust portfolio of marketed and pipeline products," said Eric Garan of Caprocon a consulting firm advising Falken on the matter.

The rejection which had been anticipated by the market in the last several weeks sent FLKI shares tumbling 48% as short term traders and their markets spooked at the loss of the prospect for a quick gain. The decline is viewed by many as a buying opportunity for investors.

Had Norex taken its offer to the public markets, it is believed the board would likely have recommended the then take-over to shareholders. However Norex was steadfast in its position that control had to be obtained by the issue of new shares which would have the effect of materially diluting the stock.

Garcia stated, "I have had a huge number of messages from clients and suppliers who are pleased with the news. It is partly about a fondness for Falken, but it is mostly about certainty."

The company will now press ahead with ongoing negotiations and consider a supply contract bid from a Norex competitor which is expected to lower cost for productions as much as 11%.
