FLEXIBLE SOLUTIONS EXPECTS RECORD REVENUES IN THIRD QUARTER

Results and Conference Call Scheduled for Monday, Nov. 15 at 2 p.m. Eastern Time

VICTORIA, B.C., Oct. 5, 2004 – FLEXIBLE SOLUTIONS INTERNATIONAL, INC. (AMEX: FSI, FRANKFURT: FXT), the developer and manufacturer of environmentally safe water and energy conservation technology, today announced that it expects to report record revenues for the third quarter ended Sept. 30, 2004, due to increasing sales from an expanded product line.

Third quarter revenues, which for the first time include sales resulting from FSI’s June 9 acquisition of Donlar Corp., are expected to be approximately $1.37 million, compared with $40,000 in the corresponding period of 2003.

For the nine months, FSI expects to report revenues of approximately $4.5 million, calculated on a pro-forma basis as if the acquisition of Donlar had been in effect on Jan. 1, 2004. In the first nine months of 2003, Flexible Solutions had revenues of $1.98 million.

“I am very pleased at the progress we have made in integrating Donlar and its personnel into Flexible Solutions’ new NanoChem Solutions Division,” stated Chief Executive Officer Dan O’Brien. “Significant cost reductions are already in place and synergistic product sales opportunities between divisions have begun to improve our cost of sales and are expected to increase total sales in future quarters. We anticipate that FSI could be cash flow positive in the third quarter, although depreciation and amortization from the Donlar acquisition could reflect on the bottom line. The new ‘green chemistry’ line of environmentally friendly water-soluble products now offered by NanoChem Solutions will result in a significant reduction of the seasonality in FSI’s sales. In addition, increased sales of FSI’s Ecosavr and Heatsavr swimming pool products outside North America made solid contributions to our third quarter results.”

Mr. O’Brien also said that as well as focusing its marketing efforts for the Company’s WaterSavr evaporation control product on drought stricken areas of the Western United States, significant new interest in the technology is being generated among potential clients in the Far East and Europe.

Flexible Solutions will announce actual financial results for the third quarter and nine months of 2004 on Monday, Nov. 15. Mr. O’Brien and Chief Financial Officer Fred Kupel will host a conference call for members of the investment community at 2 p.m. Eastern time. To make reservations for the call, contact Karen Boudewyn at 250-447-9969 as soon as possible as the number of participants is limited. A full transcript of the call will be made available on the Company’s website: www.flexiblesolutions.com .
