HOUSTON, TX -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 08/22/06 -- Flotek Industries, Inc. (AMEX: FTK) announced it has terminated negotiations on a potential acquisition in the downhole drilling tool industry. The Company had discussed the possible acquisition at EnerCom's Oilservice Conference IV on February 16, 2006 and in an interview given on May 15, 2006 to Alan Elliott of Investor's Business Daily. No termination fees are payable by either company.

Jerry D. Dumas, Sr., Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, "Our companies could not reach an agreement that did not impose an onerous debt burden on the combined entity or that provided sufficient accretion to our existing shareholders. We remain focused on strategic acquisitions and are continually evaluating opportunities to expand the Company's geographic footprint and product offerings. Our business operations and prospects for future revenue remain strong; therefore, we are confident in our performance projections and reaffirm our earnings guidance of $1.35 to $1.45 basic earnings per share for the full year."
