    Fact-checking the claims made by ke Paulson,the managing director of Ecorub AB

    F or some time now I have been reading highly questionable claims made by kePaulsson, the managing director of Ecorub AB. The claims, made in media and onthe internet, are about the company and the patent owned by the company.Ecorub AB is a small public company company based in Pite, Sweden. Ecorubshares are listed on AktieTorget.

    I am going to analyze the statements from the Investment Memorandum of thecompany and co-relate to the documents in public domain I have found on theinternet. All sources and links to them will bi placed at the bottom of each page.

    As I do not have access to insider information my conclusions can be wrongbecause of the lack of information. I hope that this writing will encourage the

    readers to find more sources of information and to draw their own conclusionsfrom these facts.

    I do hope that you will enjoy the reading

    O n the page 6 of the Investment memorandum is the following text (Googletranslation from Swedish to English):

    " Ecological Rubber "

    Ake Paulsson, entrepreneur, also Managing Director of EcoRub, has since the1990s worked on developing methods for producing high quality products based on rubber powder produced from discarded tires. In 2006 EcoRub granted aEuropean patent (EPO 1127918) for a technology to bind the rubber powder withcopolymers and create a thermo-elastic rubber. The patent is wholly owned by theCompany.

    T his is not the truth!

    The truth is that ke Paulsson have bought the right to commercialize the patent.The patent (page 1) clearly states that the inventor is: Edgar A. Gonzalez (owner and the CE O of Synesis www.ecoflexrtpv.com) while Rerub AB (now known asEcorub AB www.ecorub.se ) is proprietor. So the patent is issued to the inventor

    Edgar A. Gonzalez not to Ecorub AB.Link to the patent: Polyolefin blends containing ground vulcanized rubber

    WHO IS TH E INV ENTO R?

    Edgar A. Gonzales filed a request for assignment of the patent from him to Rerub AB (now Ecorub ABwww.ecorub.se ). As a part of this request he attached acontract of sale. Here is the link to the request for assignment containing thecontract of sale signed by ke Paulsson as buyer and Edgar A. Gonzales asseller.

    Edgar A. Gonzales (owner and the CE O of Synesis www.ecoflexrtpv.com) alsopatented the same invention in USA. US patent 6, 031,009 Polyolefin blendscontaining ground vulcanized rubber (see the next slide). The aforementioned USpatent can be reached here as a whole:

    F urther on the page 6 of the Investment memorandum is the following text (Googletranslation from Swedish to English):

    EcoRub is, according to knowledge of the Board of Directors, the only company inEurope that has a commercially viable method that allows the rubber powder asraw material to produce a material that is competitively priced and feature-wise -"Ecological Rubber". This material in turn can easily be reused.

    T his is not the truth!

    There are several (in fact a whole bunch of) companies in USA and Europeproducing similar materials. Here are the links to the companies selling on theEuropean market:

    http://www.rbrubber.com http://www.rubberplastics.com http://www.enviroext.com/

    The following Swedish companies are dealing with exact the same kind of materialsas Ecorub AB or have very similar technology:

    F urther on the page 6 of the Investment memorandum is the following text(Google translation from Swedish to English):

    "Proof of concept" Ake Paulsson has engaged in the development work that led to the patented technology along with an American inventor. As the initial development work was completed and the patent would be sought decided Ake Paulsson and theU.S. developer to divide the rights geographically.

    EcoRub sought and obtained patents in Europe and the American inventor'scompany, Ecotech Inc., sought and was granted patents in the U.S. and Canada.

    T his is not the truth!

    In the request for grant of a European patent, the only person mentioned as

    inventor is Edgar A. Gonzales not ke Paulsson. You can see that thedocument (request for grant of a European patent) is signed by inventor, Edgar A. Gonzales in 24 of F ebruary 2000.

    See the next slide.

    F urther on the page 6 of the Investment memorandum is the following text(Google translation from Swedish to English):

    His tory In the mid-1990s began Ake Paulsson of EcoRub AB (until 2008 Recycled Rubber, ReRub AB), the experiments which in 2006 resulted in theaforementioned European patent on a technology to bind the rubber powder with copolymers and create a thermo-elastic rubber.

    T his is not the truth!

    It is earlier proved that the inventor is not ke Paulsson but Edgar A.Gonzalez. This fact is clearly seen in the patent document as well as from thedocuments submitted to the Europian Patent O ffice for alignment of the patentfrom the inventor Edgar A. Gonzalea to ke Paulsson of Rerub AB. Rerub Ablater changed its name to Ecorub AB.

    O n the page 11 is the following text (Google translation from Swedish to English):

    A Word from the Manag i ng D i rector

    This patented technology, I have developed in collaboration with an Americaninventor. For some years now has three companies in the United States licensed to produce ecological rubber. A large part of the production goes to the automotiveindustry. Thus it is proved that the technology works in the United States. The big challenge for us is to reach out the European market with our ecological rubber.

    O nce again it is not true!

    ke Paulsson, the managing director of Ecorub AB, is not the inventor.

    He is a buyer of the patent not the inventor. The slides 13 to 17 revealed clearly whois the inventor (Edgar A. Gonzalez) and who has bought the patent (ke Paulsson).

    SO ME QUESTIONS AT TH E END

    I am not pretending that this is the final truth. In contrary, I am afraid that these fewcases might only be the tip of the iceberg.

    To make false statements in an investment memorandum means breaking the low. To dothis while all relevant documents are in public domain, easy accessible via Internet, ispuzzling.

    Does ke Paulson believe that the investors are stupid or ignorant?

    I do not have the answer to this question.

    Have you?

    So, if you are an investor, try to find answers by yourself.

    Dont trust my conclusions, draw your own.

    In case that you will buy Ecorub shares anyway, buy also some Aspirin.

    You may need it.
