you ever dream of "owning" the market with your
technology?<BR>Fallbrook Technologies has the opportunity to do just
that.</P>
<P
style="FONT: bold 12px Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; COLOR: #666666; TEXT-ALIGN: center">With
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
style="FONT: bold 12px Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; COLOR: #666666; TEXT-ALIGN: left">When
was the last time you rode a bicycle? Experience the <EM>NuVinci
</EM>technology during the reception before the program, and network
with a large, diverse audience of entrepreneurs, technologists, and
professionals.<BR><BR>SPECIAL GUEST: Tony Ellsworth of
Ellsworth Bikes will be available with some his bikes that have the
NuVinci transmission.</P>

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>
