NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 – NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of Operations – Flexpoint Sensor Systems, Inc. (the Company) is located in West Jordan, Utah. The Company’s activities to date have included acquiring equipment and enhancing technology, obtaining financing, entering into licensing agreements, production and seeking long-term manufacturing contracts. The Company’s operations are in designing, engineering, manufacturing, licensing and selling sensor technology and equipment using flexible potentiometer technology. Through December 31, 2021 the Company continued to manufacture products and sensors to fill customer orders and provide engineering and design work.
Principles of Consolidation – The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Flexpoint Sensor Systems, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Flexpoint International, LLC. Intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents – Cash and cash equivalents are considered to be cash and a highly liquid security with original maturities of three months or less.
Fair Value Measurements – The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that could be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Financial assets are marked to bid prices and financial liabilities are marked to offer prices. The fair value should be calculated based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, not on assumptions specific to the entity. In addition, the fair value of liabilities should include consideration of non-performance risk, including the party’s own credit risk.
Fair value measurements do not include transaction costs. A fair value hierarchy is used to prioritize the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values. Categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The fair value hierarchy is defined into the following three categories:
Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of fair value of assets or liabilities.
To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement is disclosed and is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
The carrying value of the Company’s cash, accounts payable, short-term borrowings (including convertible notes payable), and other current assets and liabilities approximate fair value because of their short-term maturity.
Accounts Receivable – Trade accounts receivable are generally recorded at the time product is shipped or services are provided including any shipping and handling fees. Contracts associated with design and development engineering generally require a deposit of 50% of the quoted price prior to the commencement of work. The deposit is considered deferred income until the entire project is completed and accepted by the customer, at which time the entire contract price is billed to the customer and the deposit applied. The Company has established an allowance for bad debts based on a historical experience and an analysis of risk associated with the account balances. The balance in the allowance account was $105,790 and $105,790 in the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Inventories – The Company does not currently have inventory. However, as production levels increase inventories will be carried on the balance sheet. Inventories will be stated at the lower of cost or market or net realizable value. Cost is determined by using the first in, first out (FIFO) method.
Going Concern – The Company suffered losses of $687,702 and $607,066 during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. At December 31, 2021, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $30,082,373. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
From 2008 through 2021 the Company raised approximately $6.5 million, which includes $479,500 raised in 2021, in additional capital, including accrued interest, through the issuance of long and short-term notes to related and other parties and the receipt of a Paycheck Protection Program loan through the Small Business Administration. All of the notes had an annual interest rate of 10% or 15% and were secured by the Company’s business equipment. The notes also had a conversion feature for restricted common shares ranging from $0.05 to $0.20 per share with maturity dates of December 31, 2018 through March 31, 2021. Management continues to work with investor groups to provide funds for the Company’s operations until its operations produce a positive cash flow.
Property and Equipment – Property and equipment are stated at cost. Additions and major improvements are capitalized while maintenance and repairs are charged to operations. Upon trade-in, sale or retirement of property and equipment, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is recognized. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method and is recognized over the estimated useful lives of the property and equipment, which range from three to ten years.
Valuation of Long-lived Assets – The carrying values of the Company’s long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that they may not be recoverable. When projections indicate that the carrying value of the long-lived asset is not recoverable, the carrying value is reduced by the estimated excess of the carrying value over the projected discounted cash flows. Under similar analysis no impairment charge was taken during the year ended December 31, 2021. Impairment tests will be conducted on an annual basis and, should they indicate a carrying value in excess of fair value, additional impairment charges may be required.
Intangible Assets – Costs to obtain or develop patents are capitalized and amortized over the remaining life of the patents, and technology rights are amortized over their estimated useful lives. The Company currently has the right to several patents and proprietary technology. Patents and technology are amortized from the date the Company acquires or is awarded the patent or technology right, over their estimated useful lives, which range from 5 to 15 years. An impairment charge is recognized if the carrying amount is not recoverable and the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the intangible assets as determined by projected discounted net future cash flows. Under similar analysis there was no impairment charge taken during the year ended December 31, 2021.
Research and Development – Research and development costs are recognized as an expense during the period incurred, which is until the conceptual formulation, design, and testing of a process is completed and the process has been determined to be commercially viable.
Goodwill – Goodwill represents the excess of the Company’s reorganization value over the fair value of net assets of the Company upon emergence from bankruptcy. Goodwill is not amortized, but is tested for impairment annually on December 31, or at interim periods when a triggering event occurs using a fair value approach. According to Accounting Standards Codification (or “ASC”) 350-20 Intangibles – Goodwill and Other, a fair-value-based test is applied at the overall Company level. The test compares the fair value of the Company to the carrying value of its net assets. This test requires various judgments and estimates. The fair value of the Company is allocated to the Company’s assets and liabilities based upon their fair values with the excess fair value allocated to goodwill. An impairment of goodwill is measured as the excess of the carrying amount of goodwill over the determined fair value.
As the Company consists of only one reporting unit, and is publicly traded, management estimates the fair value of its reporting unit utilizing the Company’s market capitalization, multiplying the number of actual shares outstanding by the market price on December 31, as reflected on NASDAQ National Market.
Revenue Recognition – On January 1, 2018 the Company adopted ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, and all of the related amendments (“new revenue standard”). We have applied the new revenue standard to all contracts as of the date of the initial adoption. The new revenue standard establishes five steps whereby a transaction is analyzed to determine if revenue has been earned and can be recognized. The adoption of the new revenue standard did not have any effect on our financial statements. The vast majority of our sales are made to order, for which orders we require a deposit of 50% of the value of the order. That amount is put in a customer deposit account until the entire order has been manufactured and shipped. At the ship date the Company has no further obligations under the contract and the revenue from the sale is recognized.
Following are the five steps of revenue recognition to be considered in determining the recognition of revenue:
Identify the contract with the customer. A contract with a customer exists when: (i) we enter into an enforceable contract with a customer that defines each party’s rights regarding the good to be transferred or the services to be provided and identifies the payment terms related to these goods or services; (ii) the contract has commercial substance and (iii) we determine that collection of substantially all consideration for goods transferred or services rendered is probable based on the customer’s intent and ability to pay the promised consideration. We do not have significant costs to obtain contracts with customers.
Identify the performance obligations in the contract. Generally, our contracts with customers do not include multiple performance obligations to be completed or a period of time. Our performance obligations generally relate to delivering specialized sensors to a customer, subject to the shipping terms of the contract. Limited warranties are provided, under which we typically accept returns and provide either replacement sensors or refunds. We do not have significant returns. We do not offer extended warranty or service plans.
Determine the transaction price. Payment by the customer is due under customary fixed payment terms, and we evaluate if collectability is reasonably assured. Our contracts do not typically contain a financing component, except possibly in a licensing agreement. Revenue is recorded at the contract sales price. Taxes collected from customers relating to product sales and remitted to governmental authorities are excluded from revenues.
Allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract. We typically do not have multiple performance obligations in our contracts with customers. As such, we generally recognize revenue upon transfer of the product to the customer’s control at contractually stated pricing.
Recognize revenue when or as we satisfy a performance obligation. We generally satisfy performance obligations at a point in time upon either shipment or delivery of goods or upon completion of all services detailed in the contract, in accordance with the terms of each contract with the customer. We do not have significant service revenue.
A part of our customer base is made up of international customers. The table below allocates revenue between domestic and international customers. The following table presents Flexpoint Sensor Systems revenues disaggregated by region and product type:

Stock-Based Compensation – The Company, in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation, records all share-based payments to employees at the grant-date fair value of the equity instruments issued. In accordance with ASC 718-10-30-9, Measurement Objective – Fair Value at Grant Date, the Company uses the closing price of the stock, as quoted by NASDAQ, on the date of the grant. The Company believes this pricing method provides the best estimate of the fair value of the consideration given. Compensation cost is recognized over the requisite service period.
Basic and Diluted Loss per Share – Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares and dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. At December 31, 2021 and 2020, there were outstanding common share equivalents (options and convertible notes payable) which amounted to 16,343,281 and 16,705,330, respectively, from convertible notes and 1,900,000 from options for common stock. These common share equivalents were not included in the computation of diluted loss per share as their effect would have been anti-dilutive, thereby decreasing loss per common share.
Concentrations and Credit Risk – The Company has a few major customers who represents a significant portion of revenue, accounts receivable and notes receivable. During the year ended December 31, 2021, three customers represented 76% of sales and two other customers represented 95% of accounts receivable. A customer who is utilizing our technology for commercialization in shoes represented 90% of accounts receivable at December 31, 2021. The Company has a strong relationship with these customers and does not believe this concentration poses a significant risk, as their products are based entirely on the Company’s technologies.
Income Taxes – The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Codification (ASC) 740: Income Taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets will be reflected on the balance sheet when it is determined that it is more likely than not that the asset will be realized
Recent Accounting Pronouncements – In December 2019, the Financial Standards Accounting Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2019-12, “Income Taxes Topic 740-Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes” which intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application of Topic 740. The effective date will be the first quarter of fiscal year 2021 and early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard had no impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements or disclosures.
The Company has reviewed all other FASB-issued ASU accounting pronouncements and interpretations thereof that have effective dates during the period reported and in future periods. The Company has carefully considered the new pronouncements that alter previous GAAP and does not believe that any new or modified principles will have a material impact on the Company’s reported financial position or operations in the near term. The applicability of any standard is subject to the formal review of the Company’s financial management and certain standards are under consideration.
NOTE 2 – PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method and is recognized over the estimated useful lives of the property and equipment, which range from three to ten years. Depreciation expense was $1,451 and $2,239 for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and is included in the administrative and marketing expense on the statement of operations.
No impairment was recognized during the twelve months ended December 31, 2021. Property and equipment at December 31, 2021 and 2020 consisted of the following:

Federal and state net operating loss carry forwards at December 31, 2021 and 2020 were $24,111,906 and $23,424,204, respectively. A portion of the net operating loss carry forwards includes losses incurred prior to February 24, 2004, when a change of greater than 50% in ownership of the Company occurred. As a result of the change of ownership, only a portion of the net operating loss carry forwards incurred prior to the change becomes available each year. The net operating loss carry forwards began to expire in 2020.
The Company has evaluated Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 regarding the impact of the decreased tax rates of the Tax Cuts & Jobs Act. The schedules below reflect the Federal tax provision, deferred tax asset and valuation allowance using the new rates adjusted in the period of enactment.
The following is a reconciliation of the amount of benefit that would result from applying the federal statutory rate to pretax loss with the provision for income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively:

Under FASB ASC 740-10-05-6, tax benefits are recognized only for the tax positions that are more likely than not be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. The amount recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement. Unrecognized tax benefits are tax benefits claimed in the company's tax return that do not meet these recognition and measurement standards.
The Company's policy is to recognize potential interest and penalties accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits with the income tax expense. For the years ended December 31, 2021, and 2020, the Company did not recognize any interest or penalties in its Statement of Operations, nor did it have any interest or penalties accrued in its balance sheet at December 31, 2021 and 2020 relating to unrecognized benefits.
The tax years 2021, 2020, 2019 and 2018 remain open to examination for federal income tax purposes and by other major taxing jurisdictions to which the Company is subject.
On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “Act”) was signed into law making significant changes to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). The Act reduces the federal corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21% effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017. ASC 470 requires the Company to re-measure the existing net deferred tax asset in the period of enactment. The Act also provides for immediate expensing of 100% or the costs of qualified property that is incurred and placed in service during the period from September 27, 2017 to December 31, 2022. Beginning January 1, 2023, the immediate expensing provision is phased down by 20% per year until it is completely phased out as of January 1, 2027. Additionally, effective January 1, 2018, the Act imposes possible limitations on the deductibility of interest expense. As a result of the provisions of the Act, the Company’s deduction for interest expense could be limited in future years. The effects of other provisions of the Act are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
On December 22, 2017, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (“SAB 118”) to provide guidance on accounting for the tax effects of the Act. SAB 118 provides a measurement period that begins in the reporting period that includes the Act’s enactment date and ends when an entity has obtained, prepared and analyzed the information that was needed in order to complete the accounting requirements under ASC 720. However, in no circumstance should the measurement period extend beyond one year from the enactment date. In accordance with SAB 118, a company must reflect in its financial statements the income tax effects of those aspects of the Act for which the accounting under ASC 740 is complete. SAB 118 provides that to the extent that a company’s accounting for certain income tax effects of the Tax Act is incomplete but it is able to determine a reasonable estimate, it must record a provisional estimate in the financial statements.
The Company does not reflect a deferred tax asset in its financial statements, but includes that calculation and valuation in its footnotes. We are still analyzing the impact of certain provisions of the Act and refining our calculations. The Company will disclose any change in the estimates as it refines the accounting for the impact of the Act.
NOTE 5 – NOTES PAYABLE
Convertible Notes Payable – Third Parties
At December 31, 2021 there are convertible notes outstanding with principal balances which total $510,000. Of the notes, $100,000 are convertible notes bearing a 10% annual rate of interest (with a 15% default rate) and are convertible into shares of common stock at the rate of $0.07 per share, $150,000 are convertible notes bearing 10% annual interest (with a 15% default rate) and are convertible into shares of common stock at the rate of $0.06 per share, and $220,000 are convertible notes bearing 10% annual interest (with a 15% default rate) and are convertible into shares of common stock at the rate of $0.05 per share. At December 31, 2021, the Company is in default on all of these convertible notes.
The remaining $40,000 is a convertible note entered into on August 8, 2011 with a former Company Director. That note was due on December 31, 2015, and bears a default interest rate of 10% and is convertible at $0.20 per share.
The Company recorded interest expense of $74,500 related to these notes during the year ended December 31, 2021.

NOTE 7 – STOCK OPTION PLANS
On August 25, 2005, the Board of Directors of the Company approved and adopted the 2005 Stock Incentive Plan (the Plan). The Plan became effective upon its adoption by the Board and continued in effect for ten years, terminating on August 25, 2015. This plan was approved by the stockholders of the Company at their annual meeting of shareholders on November 22, 2005. Under the Plan, the exercise price for all options issued will not be less than the average quoted closing market price of the Company’s trading common stock for the thirty-day period immediately preceding the grant date plus a premium of ten percent. The maximum aggregate number of shares that may be awarded under the plan is 2,500,000 shares. The Company continues to utilize the Black-Scholes option-pricing model for calculating the fair value of the options granted as defined by ASC Topic 718, which is an acceptable valuation approach under ASC 718. This model requires the input of subjective assumptions, including the expected price volatility of the underlying stock.
On August 24, 2015, the Board of Directors approved the issuance of options to purchase 2,185,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. Of the total issued, 1,960,000 options were issued to replace options held by directors and employees which were to expire and 225,000 options were issued to new employees. Of the options issued, 640,000 have an option price of $0.14 per share, 500,000 have an option price of $0.15 per share, 995,000 have an option price of $0.20 per share, and 50,000 have an option price of $0.25 per share. Options issued as replacement shall have immediate vesting terms. Options which are not replacements shall vest over a two-year four-month period in equal installments on the last day of 2015, 2016 and 2017, respectively.
Projected data related to the expected volatility and expected life of stock options is based upon historical and other information, and notably, the Company's common stock has limited trading history. Changes in these subjective assumptions can materially affect the fair value of the estimate, and therefore, the existing valuation models do not provide a precise measure of the fair value of the Company's employee stock options.
Between August 25, 2005 and August 25, 2019, the Company granted options to employees to purchase an aggregate 3,096,000 shares of common stock at exercise prices ranging from $0.15 to $2.07 per share. The options all vested by December 31, 2017 and expire 10 years from the date of grant.
On December 30, 2020 the Board of Directors approved the revaluation of all outstanding stock options, reducing the option price to $0.05 per share. The Company recorded a charge of $8,203 as the result of this change.
As of the years ended December 31, 2005 through 2021, the Company recognized a total of $2,451,971 of stock-based compensation expense, which includes charges of $8,203 in 2020 and $-0- in 2019, leaving $0 in unrecognized expense as of December 31, 2021. There were 1,900,000 and 2,185,000 employee stock options outstanding at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

The building is located in a commercial business district in West Jordan, Utah which consists primarily of high-tech manufacturing firms and it is located adjacent to a major intersection, allowing easy access to Utah’s main interstate highway. The lease is for $6,787 per month and is for a period of twelve months with a 90-day notice clause if our intent is to renew the lease for additional periods.
The Company evaluated the lease under the new lease accounting standard and determined that it was a short-term lease due to the month-to-month provision and the 90-day notice of termination clause.

The Company filed an amendment to their Articles of Incorporation whereby the shareholders approved an increase in the number of shares of common stock authorized.

The notes are secured by the business equipment of the Company.
