              FLAMEMASTER'S COMMON STOCK TO BE DELISTED FROM NASDAQ

Sun Valley, California, Flamemaster Corporation (NASDAQ "FAME) announced today
that effective with the opening of trading on Monday, November 15, 2004, it's
common stock will be de-listed from the NASDAQ Small Cap Market. The common
stock will immediately be eligible for quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board under
the symbol "FAME".

Flamemaster received a NASDAQ Staff Determination on November 4, 2004 indicating
that the Company fails to comply with the minimum 500,000 publicly held shares
required for continued listing as set forth in Marketplace Rule 4310( c)(7),

Flamemaster received a de-listing notification from NASDAQ due to concerns over
recent transactions and events. The Company recently completed a 1 for 10
reverse stock split, therefore, Flamemaster no longer meets the minimum 500,000
publicly held shares requirement for continued listing. Furthermore, the
proposed transaction with Best Holdings will likely constitute a change in
voting power and ownership and a change in financial structure.

If the transaction with Best Holdings is completed, the post-transaction company
will be required to meet all initial inclusion criteria for the NASDAQ Small Cap
Market.

The release herein may contain or identify a forward-looking statement. These
statements are based on a number of assumptions and estimates, which are
inherently subject to uncertainty and contingencies, many of which are beyond
the control of the Company and reflect future business decisions, which are
subject to change.
