Falken's (OTCBB: FLKI) Board Advisory Committee agreed today to retain Capprocon, a European consulting firm specialized in business valuations and due diligence efforts. The report will be used in preparation for its recommendation to the Board and Shareholders relating to an unexpected offer from Norex International for a control stock position in FLKI at $ 1,50 per share which the Committee believed "close but insufficient."

In order to best ensure shareholder interest, the due diligence will be conducted and the analysis made independently of the current status of Falken's complex purchasing and manufacturing business and will include financial, operation, legal, human resources issues, environment, licensing, assets ownership, accounting policies used to highlight critical areas that may require special attention by existing shareholders.

Manuel Garcia, Communications Officer for FLKI said: "It is an utmost important step prior to management's decision on the matter to avoid unpleasant business surprises in allowing control to pass to Norex, no matter how friendly the relationship." Norex is an important supplier and manufacturer of Falken's global product conceptions.

The due diligence is independent of that being conducted by Norex International and which is scheduled to be completed by the end of the 1Q 2011. The Committee's approach will include common valuation methods such as discounting future cash flows, capitalizing earnings, and notably a market approach using financial statistics of other comparable companies, market multiples, comparable transaction and so-called Rule of Thumb approaches. The diligence will also identify fixed, financial, intellectual and other assets net of aggregate liabilities to abstract a value of shareholders' equity to which redundant assets will be added to the value of the going concern valuation.

Preliminary estimates by the Committee suggest a valuation of $ 1,80- $2,00 per share for a control position, dilution issues considered, provoking the need for an independent analysis before deciding on the sufficiency of the Norex proposal at $ 1,50 per share.
