do just that.</P>
<P

applications that range from two- and four-wheel vehicles to
wind turbines, the opportunity for Fallbrook Technologies' new
transmission technology, called NuVinci, is huge. Join us in
an open forum to discuss the best approaches for
commercialization.</P>
<P
style="FONT: 12px Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; COLOR: #666666; TEXT-ALIGN: left">1.
Commercialization has begun: How should Fallbrook Technologies
balance short term cash flow opportunities from its current
2-wheel market with its long term potential in the 4-wheel
market and beyond?</P>
<P
style="FONT: 12px Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; COLOR: #666666; TEXT-ALIGN: left">2.
The applications are seemingly endless: Where to start? What
are the fastest methods for technology adoption? -- a) write
the textbook for the engineering schools; b) find a partner to
license and run with it, c) Drive application from within, or
d) Other.</P>
<P

was the last time you rode a bicycle? Experience the
<EM>NuVinci </EM>technology during the reception before the

the Company</U></STRONG><BR>Fallbrook Technologies is causing
a revolution in drivetrain technology that's winning
prestigious awards and gaining rapid acceptance worldwide.
It's a new way of transmitting mechanical power based on
spheres instead of gears. The <EM>NuVinci </EM>continuously
variable planetary (CVP) technology, an innovative new
continuously variable transmission (CVT), is not only helping
vehicle designers and component manufacturers improve
performance, ride quality, and capabilities in existing
products, <EM>it's driving change and new designs never before
thought possible.</EM></P>
<P
style="FONT: 12px Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; COLOR: #666666; TEXT-ALIGN: left">Fallbrook
has been successful in the bicycle and scooter market, for
which it licenses its technology. With more than 100 patents,
its CVP technology has broad applications to many other
markets, including lawn & garden vehicles, light
electronic vehicles, and traditional automotives. You might
say that the <EM>NuVinci</EM> is the "next big transmission
invention."</P>
