FSI RAISES $3.375 MILLION IN PRIVATE PLACEMENT

VICTORIA, BRITISH COLUMBIA, April 14, 2005 – FLEXIBLE SOLUTIONS INTERNATIONAL, INC. (AMEX: FSI, FRANKFURT: FXT), the developer and manufacturer of biodegradable and environmentally safe water and energy conservation technology, as well as anti-scalant technology, is pleased to announce today the closing of a $3,375,000 private placement. The funds will be used to eliminate all debt, and the small balance will be added to working capital.

The placement will allow the Company to maintain its existing working capital to increase inventory and marketing, and therefore increase sales, rather than using FSI’s working capital to retire debt. CFO Fred Kupel states, “This placement puts FSI’s balance sheet in a strong position going forward. Management is now freed to concentrate on the many opportunities open to our product line.”

 

Participating investors are a select group of investment funds, and the terms are one common share at $3.75 and a warrant to acquire a further share at $4.50. The total number of shares subscribed for was limited to 900,000, in order to minimize shareholder dilution while providing sufficient funds to retire the debt remaining from the acquisition of our NanoChem division in June 2004.
