FLEXPOINT SENSOR SYSTEMS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)


NOTE 1SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements – The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Flexpoint Sensor Systems, Inc. (the “Company”). These financial statements are condensed and, therefore, do not include all disclosures normally required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Therefore, these statements should be read in conjunction with the most recent annual consolidated financial statements of Flexpoint Sensor Systems, Inc. for the year ended December 31, 2019 included in the Company’s Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 30, 2020. In particular, the Company’s significant accounting principles were presented as Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in that report. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation have been included in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and consist of only normal recurring adjustments. The results of operations presented in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2020.


Nature of Operations – Flexpoint Sensor Systems, Inc. (the Company) is located in Draper, Utah. The Company’s activities to date have included acquiring equipment and enhancing technology, obtaining financing, limited production and seeking long-term manufacturing contracts. The Company’s operations are in designing, engineering, manufacturing and selling sensor technology and equipment using flexible potentiometer technology. Through September 30, 2020, the Company continued to manufacture products and sensors to fill customer orders and provide engineering and design work.


The COVID-19 Pandemic (“the Pandemic”) has had a dramatic effect on our business as well as the business of our customers.  The wide ranging effects on the World Wide business market has led to a general reluctance for businesses to move forward with entering into major commitments until their future markets have been clarified. Because of this, we have experienced a significant slowdown in the size and number of orders received and, while we cannot predict when the influence of the Pandemic will end, we expect that orders will return to their former levels and increase following a return to normal business operations.  


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 highly liquid securities with original maturities of three months or less.


Fair Value MeasurementsThe 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.



8




 

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 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 $114,991 and $114,991 in the periods ended September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, 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.  


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 nine-month period ended September 30, 2020 and during the year ended December 31, 2019.  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 nine-month period ended September 30, 2020 and during year ended December 31, 2019.


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.


Lease Obligations – While the Company has adopted ASC 842 the Company has no leases at the date of this report that are required to be reported under ASC 842.  As the Company enters into such leases it will record obligations under all leases it has entered into pursuant to the reporting requirements under ASC 842, allocating such obligations between current and long term.

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, 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.


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.


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:

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



10




period. At September 30, 2020 and 2019 there were outstanding common share equivalents (options and convertible notes payable) which amounted to 25,987,114 and 23,492,045 of common stock, respectively. These common share equivalents were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 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 represent a significant portion of revenue, accounts receivable and notes receivable.  During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2020, three customers represented 72% of sales and three customers represented 91% of accounts receivable.  The Company has a strong ongoing relationship with these customers with scheduled delivery extending through the year 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 - The Company has reviewed all recently issued, but not yet adopted, accounting standards in order to determine their effects, if any, on its consolidated results of operation, financial position and cash flows.  Based on that review, the Company believes that none of these pronouncements will have a significant effect on its current or future earnings or operations.


NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN


The Company continues to accumulate significant operating losses and has an accumulated deficit of $29,462,056 at September 30, 2020.  These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.


Management is seeking additional funding to provide operating capital for its operations until such time as revenues are sufficient to sustain our level of operations.  However, there is no assurance that additional funding will be available on acceptable terms, if at all.


NOTE 3 – NOTES PAYABLE


The Company applied for and received a Small Business Administration loan under the Paycheck Protection Program in the amount of $59,500.  The loan was funded on April 30, 2020, bears an interest rate of 1% per annum and has a maturity date of April 30, 2022.  Under the terms of the borrowing it is expected that this entire loan amount will be forgiven at such time as the lending institution published the form under which the request for forgiveness of the loan can be filed.  The funds obtained under this loan were used for the payment of salaries, health insurance costs, rent and utilities, all of which expenses qualify for the loan forgiveness under the terms of the loan.


In August 2020 the Company received $50,000 from John Kelley, a large shareholder, to meet operating expenses. Mr. Kelly indicated that he would want the $50,000 loan repaid when the Company was in a position to do so.  This loan has not formally been documented by a note at the time of this filing, and there is no term or interest on the note.


 NOTE 4 – CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE


Convertible Note Payable


At September 30, 2020, there are notes outstanding with principal balances which total $940,000, on which there is $1,200 of debt discount that is being amortized over the term of the note. Of the notes, $900,000 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 $0.05 to $0.07 per share.  $40,000 is a convertible note entered into on August 8, 2011 with a former Company Director, at a rate of $0.20 per share.  That note was due on December 31, 2015 and bears a default interest rate of 10%.



11





Convertible Note Payable - Related Party


At September 30, 2020, there are notes outstanding with two directors of the Company with balances of $164,257 and $54,257, respectively.  The notes bear an 8% annual rate of interest with a 12% default rate and are convertible into shares of restricted common stock. Of the notes, $114,514 is convertible into shares of restricted common stock at $0.07 per share and $104,000 of the notes are convertible at $0.06 per share.  All of these notes have a maturity date of March 31, 2021.


NOTE 5 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 options for shares surrendered shall have immediate vesting terms. Options which are not replacements vested 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.  


As of the years ended December 31, 2005 through 2019, the Company recognized a total of $2,443,768 of stock-based compensation expense, which includes charges of $0 in 2019 and $9 in 2018, leaving $0 in unrecognized expense as of December 31, 2019. There were 2,185,000 and 2,185,000 employee stock options outstanding at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

NOTE 6 – CAPITAL STOCK


Preferred Stock – There are 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.001 per share authorized.  At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, there were no shares of preferred stock issued or outstanding.


Common Stock – There are 200,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001 per share authorized.  At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, there were 99,713,464 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. The Company issued no stock during the nine months ended September 30, 2020.


NOTE 7 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES


The Company currently occupies approximately 12,548 square feet of office and manufacturing space from F.G.B.P. LLC.  The building is located in a business park in Draper, Utah that consists primarily of high tech manufacturing firms and is located adjacent to Utah’s main interstate highway.  The Company entered into a new lease in 2019 for this facility.  The lease entered into is a month-to-month lease with a 90-day termination clause and includes a basic lease payment as well as an additional component for building costs and taxes.  The basic lease rate for Year 1 is $12,000 a month; it increases 3% each year thereafter.  With the basic and additional component, the Company expects to pay a total lease payment of approximately $14,635 per month in 2020.  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.


NOTE 8 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS


At September 30, 2020, there was $5,200 payable to the Chief Executive Officer.  At December 31, 2019, the Company had amounts of $2,197 payable to its Chief Executive Officer for expense reports which had been submitted for payment but were unpaid at December 31, 2019.  


In May 2019, the Company converted the amounts payable to officers to convertible notes in the amounts of $22,000 and $17,000.  The notes bear interest at the rate of 8% per annum with a default rate of 12%, are convertible into shares of common stock at $0.06 per share, and have a maturity date of March 31, 2021.


At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had outstanding notes payable to an officer in the amount of $164,257 and outstanding notes payable to a director in the amount of $54,257.


NOTE 9 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS


The Company has evaluated subsequent events pursuant to ASC Topic 855 and has determined that there are no events that require disclosure as of the date of issuance.


The majority of non-essential businesses are still closed or operating on a limited basis.  It is therefore anticipated that revenue will continue to be negatively impacted through at a minimum the fourth quarter of 2020.  Our ability to generate revenue will be dependent upon the pace at which businesses are allowed to resume operations.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW


Flexpoint Sensor Systems, Inc. is a company engaged principally in improving its unique sensor technology, expanding its suite of products, developing new sensor applications, obtaining financing and seeking long-term sustainable manufacturing contracts.  Our operations have not yet commenced to a commercially sustainable level and include designing, engineering, manufacturing and selling sensor technology and products featuring our Bend Sensor® technology and equipment.


The recent COVID-19 Pandemic (“the Pandemic”) has had a dramatic effect on our business as well as the business of our customers.  The wide ranging effects on the World Wide business market has led to a general reluctance for businesses to move forward with entering into major commitments until their future markets have been clarified. Because of this, we have experienced a significant slowdown in the size and number of orders received and, while we cannot predict when the influence of the Pandemic will end, we expect that orders will return to their former levels and increase following a return to normal business operations.  


On August 20, 2019 the Company announced the development of the world’s first digital bend sensor capable of automatically compensating for changes in the environment, thus guaranteeing consistent performance across temperature and humidity variables. Easily integrated into multiple applications, the data gathered by the sensor will be digitally converted and transmitted, enhancing performance.


The Bend Sensor has traditionally been offered in analog form, but most engineers prefer sensors with digital interfaces such as accelerometers. More attractive to online catalog distributors, Flexpoint’s Digital Bend Sensor (DBS) has an intuitive nature, is more easily integrated with existing products, simplifies design and more importantly, reduces time to market.  


The Company feels that with the ease and simplicity of the digital bend sensor technology, the soon to be released product will bring new opportunities and create various additional applications for Flexpoint’s Bend Sensor Technology.


On July 25, 2019, the Company announced that they had filed a provisional patent for the new “Swell Sensor” designed to detect and stop a Lithium ion or Lithium Polymer battery from charging or discharging, preventing a thermal runway; one of the major ways battery fires occur.


Li-ion and Li-polymer batteries are used today in everything from phones to electric cars. Flexpoint’s technology included in the provisional patent provides a method to protect these batteries, their products and those who use them every day, measuring the expansion or swelling of the battery effectively stopping a potentially dangerous state.




14




Batteries become over heated, over charged, or simply fail due to old age. When this occurs, it is possible for the inner cells of the battery to outgas a flammable electrolyte mixture, causing the battery to swell. The Flexpoint Sensor addresses the swollen battery effect, as batteries are designed to contain as a failsafe the measure of out gassing. The Flexpoint Swell Sensor detects the condition, effectively shutting down the short circuit.  Without this type of detection, some batteries can eventually reach temperatures over 1000º F. Designed to detect the dangerous expansion and stop a Lithium ion or Lithium polymer battery from charging or discharging, the Flexpoint battery expansion sensor was created to prevent thermal runaway—how most battery fires occur. The battery expansion sensor can detect a swollen battery and take appropriate action, effectively shutting it down and sending a notice to the user that the battery is no longer safe.


The Company is currently collaborating with three Fortune 100 companies involving the battery expansion sensor. The overall testing phases range from six to nine months. With confidentiality agreements in place, Flexpoint is now in development with these and other companies to integrate the Battery Expansion Sensor (BXS) into their products. Flexpoint Sensor Systems, Inc. has designed a low cost, viable solution.


During a conference call announcing second quarter 2019 operating results representatives of the Company announced that with the agreements that had been signed and the projects they were pursuing, it was transitioning from a development company to a sales and marketing company.  This represents a significant change for the Company.


On June 20, 2019, the Company announced our exclusive development and licensing agreement with Audio Technology company subVo, LLC introducing a new wave of near perfect sound reproduction for everyday smart and slim devices. Tracking movement in real time, the Bend Sensor® used in the subVo® system knows the exact position of the cone at any given moment, allowing for the amplifier to calibrate, correct, and produce near-perfect sound reproduction, with zero lag time. The Bend Sensor® provides low distortion, flat frequency response, and fast impulse response. In addition to the licensing agreement, the company received income for the previous work for the design and development of the system.


The Flexpoint Bend Sensor® technology will be utilized in subVo’s KlaraT® speaker compensation technology and software algorithm. The sensor, when added to, or printed directly onto the diaphragm of a speaker, enables perfect synergistic motion, sensing precise movements throughout the audible spectrum. The Bend Sensor works with the KlaraT proprietary software, allowing the feedback control and speaker protection algorithms to push speakers to their limits, without distortion or damage. This combined with the auto-calibration algorithm will remove all variability due to tolerances incurred in the manufacturing process, saving time and ultimately cost.  The KlaraT calibration compensates for changes in temperature, humidity, and wear of the speaker itself over time.


On October 18, 2018, the Company announced it had signed a five year manufacturing and supply agreement with Counted LLC.  Counted LLC conceived of a medication delivery monitoring system and dispensing monitoring system.  Flexpoint designed and produced the monitoring system with Flexpoint features, Flexpoint technology and Flexpoint designed electronics to track and report the dispensing of medications in real time.  The information has the potential to be transmitted to physicians, pharmacists and government agencies.  Prototypes have been built and successfully tested with additional production and testing continuing through 2019 and the first quarter of 2020.  Currently Counted has announced that they do not have sufficient funding to continue with the project and the company is pursuing other avenues to provide the funding or transfer the technology to another entity.  


In the rapidly growing and emerging wearables space, Flexpoint has recently received additional purchase orders from multiple glove manufacturers across various market sub-segments, including medical, gaming and virtual reality. The “speed to market” commercialization plans of these companies are driving this increased order volume.  Flexpoint is aggressively going after this evolving market. The recent Pandemic has slowed the orders and, while we cannot predict when the influence of the Pandemic will end, we expect this pattern to continue and increase throughout the remainder of 2020 following a return to business.  In aggregate, Bend Sensor® wearables order volumes are expected to number in the tens of thousands in 2020. The wearables market segment is clearly one where our technology is easily adapted and truly illustrates our technological differentiation.  Flexpoint’s willingness and ability to customize sensors for these innovative companies and deliver them at a competitive price point allows us to deliver real value to our customers.  Again, the Global COVID-19 Pandemic has had a dramatic impact on the orders we have received, however in this quarter we received a significant purchase order from Manus and fulfilled the first sensors from that order before the end of the quarter.  It is expected that the balance of the purchase order will be fulfilled during the next quarter.    




15




On June 15, 2020, Flexpoint announced its largest order from Manus VR https://manus-vr.com/, consisting of 1,000 pairs of sensors for gloves to be phased into three deliveries.  We have delivered two orders of 300 pair each, (we shipped 300 pairs each on June 30th and September 10th of this year), and are currenlty working on the final shipment of 400 pair that we expect to deliver before the end of the year. The Company’s Bend Sensor® continues to be a part of the world’s most trending sectors, one being the VR/AR market. The VR/AR industry is predicted to reach more than $25 billion by 2025 and show steady growth, thereafter.


Manus VR has many clients of large industries such as Netflix, Google, and Rolls Royce. Manus VR is widely known for its role in virtual reality gaming and recently announced its newest design, Manus Polygon. Manus Polygon is a tracking system that eliminates the need for any kind of full-body suit, providing a full-body solution for enterprise VR. Manus Polygon is the latest in real-time software to enable fluid full-body motion within any virtual environment.


These groundbreaking glove systems, combined with unique, leading edge software applications, also adapt to a wide range of other applications, including health rehabilitation, unmanned systems control, smartphone interaction and professional training across multiple industries.  In addition to producing an array of Bend Sensors®, the Company is under agreement to supply integrated assemblies comprised of multiple sensor types and associated electronics.


In the VR/VA marketspace, orders of increasing size and frequency were received during 2019 from Manus VR and Neofect as they strive to fulfill production orders.  Flexpoint also received orders from other global VR/AR customers during the quarter.


Finalizing long-term, constant revenue generating production contracts with our existing and other customers remains our greatest challenge because our on-going business is dependent on the types of revenues and cash flows generated by such contracts. Cash flow and cash requirement risks are closely tied to and are dependent upon our ability to attract significant long-term production contracts.  This process has been impacted by the recent Pandemic and we are unable to determine what the long term effect of these impacts will be at this time. We must continue to obtain funding to operate and expand our operations so that we can deliver our unique Bend Sensor® and Bend Sensor® related technologies and products to the market.  Management believes that even though we are making positive strides forward with our business plan we will need to raise additional operating capital.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES


The challenges posed by the Pandemic in the United States and global economies increased significantly as the first quarter progressed.  Since the onset of the Pandemic, our top priority has been the health and safety of our employees.  During this difficult time we have worked to insure that our customers continue to receive quality, personalized service.  


The Pandemic negatively impacted our revenue during the first three quarters of 2020, and has extended into the fourth quarter as well.  At this time it is impossible to accurately predict when this will end.  Many of our clients, to protect their employees, have sharply curtailed operations and have most employees working from home.  The long-term impact of the Pandemic is difficult to assess at this point, as it will be dependent on how rapidly our clients can resume their business operations and place orders with us for the needed sensors incorporated into their products.


Currently our revenue is primarily from product licensing, development, manufacturing and recurring sales with additional contributions to income from design contract, testing and limited production services for prototypes and samples, and is currently at a level to support our operations.  Depending upon the world returning to some form of normalcy following the end of the Pandemic, we believe, based upon current orders and projected orders over the next twelve months, that we could be producing sensors under long-term contracts in the future that will help support our existing operations and potential future growth. Management recognizes such contracts usually go through a long negotiation process and there can be no guarantee that we will be successful in our negotiations or that such contracts will be sufficient to support our current operations in the near future.


In 2019, we relied on the proceeds of convertible loans from existing shareholders, private placements of our common stock, and fees obtained under licensing agreements.  The balances of the convertible notes have a combined total of $1,158,513 as of September 30, 2020. The notes have an annual interest rate of 8% to 10% and default rates of 10% to 15%, have various maturity dates, and are secured by the Company’s business assets.


Management believes that our current cash burn rate is approximately $60,000 per month.  If the Pandemic ends and business returns to pre-Pandemic levels, with proceeds from additional convertible notes and estimated revenues for manufacturing, production, engineering design and prototype products should be sufficient to fund the next twelve



16




months of operations.  Our auditors have expressed doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern and that we may not realize significant revenue or become profitable within the next twelve months. We will require additional financing to fund our short-term cash needs. We will have to rely on additional debt financing, loans from existing shareholders and private placements of common stock for additional funding. Based upon our anticipated purchase orders over the next twelve months the revenue generated will not be sufficient to cover our operating expenses, based on our current burn rate. However, we cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain short-term financing, or that sources of such financing, if any, will continue to be available, and if available, that they will be on terms favorable to us. Nor is there any guarantee that the projected volume of purchase orders will meet the volumes that we anticipate.


As we enter into new agreements, we must ensure that those agreements provide adequate funding for any pre-production research and development and manufacturing costs. If we are successful in establishing agreements with adequate initial funding, management believes that our operations for the long term will be funded by revenues, licensing fees and/or royalties related to these agreements. However, we have formalized only a few agreements during the past four years and there can be no assurance that the agreements will generate sufficient revenues or be profitable in the future or that a desired technological application will be successful enough to produce the volumes and profits necessary to fund our operations.  


FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES


Our principal commitments at September 30, 2020 consisted of our operating lease of $14,635 per month, and total liabilities of $3,488,500, which includes $1,157,513 of convertible notes payable.  Accrued liabilities at September 30, 2020, were $1,922,684 and were related to payroll, payroll tax liabilities, accrued professional expenses, accrued insurance expense, accrued interest expense on notes and accrued paid time off.  


The Company has a few major customers who represent a significant portion of revenue and accounts receivable.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, three customers represented 72% of sales and three customers represented 91% of accounts receivable.  The Company has a strong ongoing relationship with these customers with scheduled product deliveries extending through the year and does not believe this concentration poses a significant risk, as their products are based entirely on the Company’s technologies.


OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS


We have not entered into any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources and would be considered material to investors.


CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES


The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Estimates of particular significance in our financial statements include goodwill and the annual tests for impairment of goodwill and long-lived assets and valuing stock option compensation.  


The Company's goodwill represents the excess of its reorganization value over the fair value of the net assets upon emergence from bankruptcy. Goodwill is not amortized, therefore, we test our goodwill for impairment annually or when a triggering event occur using a fair value approach. 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. The test requires various judgments and estimates. During 2019 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company recorded no impairment charge to reduce the carrying value of the goodwill to its estimated fair value. As part of the impairment testing performed at December 31, 2019, the Company considered factors such as the global market volatility, variables in the economy, and the overall uncertainty in the markets that has resulted in a decline in the market price of the Company's stock price and market capitalization for a sustained period, as indicators for potential goodwill impairment.


We test long-lived assets for impairment annually or when a triggering event occurs. Impairment is indicated if undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying value of the assets. The amount of impairment is measured using a discounted-cash-flows model considering future revenues, operating costs and risk-adjusted discount rate and



17




other factors. The analysis compares the present value of projected net cash flows for the remaining current year and next two years against the carrying value of the long-lived assets. If the carrying values of the long-lived assets exceed the present value of the discounted projected revenues an impairment expense would be recognized in the period and the carrying value of the assets would be adjusted accordingly. Impairment tests are conducted on an annual basis and, should they indicate a carrying value in excess of fair value, a charge may be required.


Financial accounting standards require that recognition of the cost of employee services received in exchange for stock options and awards of equity instruments be based on the grant-date fair value of such options and awards and is recognized as an expense in operations over the period they vest. The fair value of the options we have granted is estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes American option-pricing model. Option pricing models require the input of highly sensitive assumptions, including expected stock volatility. In addition, our stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate.  Management believes the best input assumptions available were used to value the options and that the resulting option values are reasonable. For the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, we recognized $0 and $0, respectively, of stock-based compensation expense for our stock options and there is no additional unrecognized compensation cost related to employee stock options at the current time.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


The Company continues to concentrate its marketing resources on a limited number of customers that have the greatest potential to generate the most short-term revenue while still building relationships with our larger customers. Management believes this approach has the highest potential to bring long-term commercially viable products to market and will provide sustainable cash flow to fund the Company's operations in the future. Currently, overall revenues are not sufficient to sustain our operations.  The recent Pandemic has had a dramatic effect on our business as well as the business of our customers.  The wide ranging effects on the World Wide business market has led to a general reluctance for businesses to move forward with entering into major commitments until their future markets have been clarified. Because of this, we have experienced a significant slowdown in the size and number of orders received and, while we cannot predict when the influence of the Pandemic will end, we expect that orders will return to their former levels and increase throughout the remainder of 2020 following a return to normal business operations.  Following a return to normal business operations in the world, Management anticipates that revenues will increase as we continue to execute our long-term business plan and cultivate larger customer bases with our existing product offering. However, until the Pandemic ends and a long-term production contract is in place there is no guarantee that our current customer base will order in sufficient volumes to sustain our operations. Therefore, management continues to work with larger companies and industries and is hopeful that in the near future we will sign a long-term licensing or manufacturing contract.


We recognized revenue from repeat orders from our existing customers, design contract, and development engineering.  Revenue is recognized using the ASC 606 five step detailed in Note 1 to the financial statements.  Revenue from the sale of a product is recorded at the time of shipment to the customer.  Revenue from the license agreements was recognized in the period the agreement was concluded, as it is a right of use license and the Company has no further obligations to perform under the terms of the agreement.  Revenue from research and development engineering contracts is recognized as the services are provided and accepted by the customer. Revenue from contracts to license technology to others is deferred until all conditions under the contract are met and then the sale is recognized as licensing royalty revenue over the remaining term of the contract.


The following discussions are based on the consolidated operations of Flexpoint Sensor Systems, Inc. and should be read in conjunction with our unaudited financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, included in Part I, Item 1, above, and the audited financial statements included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.

$                (0.00)


For the three months ending September 30, 2020 revenue was $24,938, a decrease of $29,271 when compared to the same period in 2019. The majority of the revenue variance for this period is attributable to the business slowdown created by the Pandemic.


Of the $225,425 and $222,157 total operating costs and expense for the three months ending September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, $80,070 and $60,498 were for direct research and development cost, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2020, total operating expenses increased by $3,268 when compared to the same period in 2019.  


Other expense for the three month period ended September 30, 2020 was $40,358, a $133,307 decrease compared to the same period in 2019.  The decrease is attributable to a loss of $151,673 on the change in fair value of derivative liabilities recorded in 2019, offset in part by a $38,951 reduction in interest expense and a $57,320 gain recorded on forgiveness of debt.  No similar gains or losses were incurred in 2020.


A net loss of $240,845 was realized for the three months ended September 30, 2020.  A net loss of $341,613 was realized for the three month period ended September 30, 2019 due to the other income items previously discussed.


NINE MONTH PERIODS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2020 AND 2019:

For the nine months ending September 30, 2020 revenue was $106,236, a decrease of $585,014 when compared to the same period in 2019. The majority of the revenue variance for this period is attributable to the $450,000 license agreement revenue recognized in 2019. As earlier discussed, orders from our customers have slowed as the economy has been negatively impacted by the current Pandemic.


Of the $662,805 and $663,407 total operating costs and expense for the nine months ending September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, $227,689 and $213,956 were for direct research and development cost, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, total operating expenses increased by $602 when compared to the same period in 2019.  


Other expense for the nine month period ended September 30, 2020 was $117,882, a $410,911 decrease compared to the same period in 2019.  The decrease is primarily attributable to the loss of $440,367 on the change in fair value of derivative liabilities, offset in part by gains of $90,325 on extinguishment of debt and $57,320 on forgiveness of debt.  Interest was $117,941 lower in 2020 than 2019 due to the conversion of convertible notes to shares of common stock completed in 2019.

A net loss of $674,451 was realized for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.  A net loss of $500,950 was realized for the nine month period ended September 30, 2019.


The chart below represents a summary of our condensed consolidated balance sheets at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.


SUMMARY OF BALANCE SHEET INFORMATION

 

 

 

 

 

September 30, 2020

 

December 31, 2019

         (28,787,605)

Total stockholder’s equity

 $           1,512,390

 

 $           2,184,841


Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $170,004 at September 30, 2020 compared to December 31, 2019. The decrease in cash is due to the payment of operating costs and the operating loss sustained for the nine month period, offset in part by the proceeds from the SBA loan and convertible note obtained.  Our non-current assets decreased at September 30, 2020 due to the depreciation of property and equipment.


Total liabilities increased by $543,192 at September 30, 2020.  The increase was due primarily to the $59,500 note entered into and a convertible note issued in the amount of $50,000, coupled with accruals made for marketing services, interest on notes and payroll accruals.


INFLATION


We do not expect the impact of inflation on our operations to be significant for the next twelve months.


ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK


Not applicable to smaller reporting companies.


ITEM 4.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES


(a)

Disclosure Controls and Procedures


As of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer, who also serves as our Principal Financial Officer.  Our controls and procedures are designed to allow information required to be disclosed in our reports to be recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the specified periods, and accumulated and communicated to management to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure of material information.  Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives.  Based upon the evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at that reasonable assurance level as of the end of the nine-month period ended September 30, 2020.  


The material weaknesses relate to the limited number of persons responsible for the recording and reporting of financial information, the lack of separation of financial reporting duties, and the limited size of our management team in general. We are in the process of evaluating methods of improving our internal control over financial reporting, including the possible addition of financial reporting staff and the increased separation of financial reporting responsibility, and intend to implement such steps as are necessary and possible to correct these material weaknesses


(b)

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting


There have been no changes in internal control over financial reporting during the six months of 2020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
