FLEXPOINT SENSOR SYSTEMS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
(A Development Stage Company)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Condensed Interim Financial Statements
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Flexpoint Sensor Systems, Inc. and its subsidiaries (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. These statements should be read in conjunction with the most recent annual consolidated financial statements of Flexpoint Sensor Systems, Inc. and subsidiaries for the year ended December 31, 2006, included in the Companys Form 10-KSB filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 14, 2007. In particular, The Companys 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, 2007.
Nature of Operations -
The Company is located near Salt Lake City, in Draper, Utah and is a development stage company engaged principally in designing, engineering, and manufacturing sensor technology and equipment using flexible potentiometer technology. The Company is in the development stage as planned operations have not commenced. Development stage activities primarily include acquiring equipment and technology, organizing activities, obtaining financing and seeking manufacturing contracts. During the three months ended September 30, 2007, the Company entered into new manufacturing agreements which are described in Note 4. Even though the Company is making strides forward with its business plan, it is likely that significant progress may not occur within the next four to six months. Accordingly, the Company may not realize significant revenues or become profitable within the next twelve months, which would require additional financing to fund its long-term cash needs. The Company may be required to rely on debt financing, loans from related parties, and private placements of common stock for additional funding. These sources of financing may only be available on terms not acceptable to the Company.
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.
Valuation of Long-lived Assets -
The carrying values of the Companys 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. As a result of managements assessment of the recoverability of long-lived assets, including property and equipment, patents and proprietary technology, and goodwill, at September 30, 2007, no impairment loss was identified or recognized through that date.
Research and Development -
Research and development costs are recognized as expense during the period incurred 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 Companys reorganization value over the fair value of net assets of the Company upon emergence from bankruptcy. Goodwill is not amortized, but is tested for
8
FLEXPOINT SENSOR SYSTEMS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
(A Development Stage Company)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
impairment annually or when a triggering event occurs 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. This test requires various judgments and estimates. The fair value the Company is determined using the market value of the Companys common stock. The fair value of the Company is allocated to the Companys 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.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company records stock-based compensation according to the provisions of FASB Statement No. 123 (Revised 2004), Share-Based Payment. As such, the Company recognizes expense for employee compensation from stock options and awards equal to the grant-date fair value over the vesting 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 of common shares outstanding during the period. At September 30, 2007, there were outstanding options and warrants to purchase 4,888,335 shares of common stock. At September 30, 2006, there were outstanding options and warrants to purchase 4,515,335 shares of common stock. These options and warrants 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.
NOTE 2
COMMON STOCK
Private Placement of Common Stock and Warrants
On June 8, 2007, the Company issued 1,000,000 shares of common stock through a private placement for $1,000,000 in cash.
On September 18, 2007, the Company issued 500,000 shares of common stock through a private placement for $200,000 in cash and $300,000 receivable from the stockholders.
Exercise of Warrants
On June 27, 2006, the Company issued 300,000 shares of common stock upon the exercise of warrants at $0.70 per share to Summit Resource Group. The Company received $210,000 from the exercise of the warrants.
NOTE 3
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 will continue in effect for ten years, unless terminated. This plan was approved by the stockholders of the Company 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 Companys 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.
On February 8, 2007, the Company granted employee options to purchase an aggregate 382,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.18 per share. The options vest on the anniversary of the grant date and expire on August 25, 2015, which is 10 years from date of Board approval of the Plan. The Company used the following assumptions in estimating the fair value of the options granted on February 8, 2007: market value at

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
time of issuance - $1.45; expected holding period 6 years; risk-free interest rate 4.86%; dividend yield 0%; and expected volatility 200%. Using these assumptions, the options granted
have a weighted-average fair value of $1.43 per share.
On June 4, 2007, the Company granted an employee options to purchase an aggregate 300,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.38 per share. The options vest on the anniversary of the grant date and expire on August 25, 2015, which is 10 years from date of Board approval of the Plan.

NOTE 4 MANUFACTURING CONTRACTS
In September 2005 the Company entered into a manufacturing agreement with R&D Products, LLC, a Utah limited liability company, doing business in Midvale, Utah. For the purpose of this contract, management considers R&D Products to be a Related Party because a controlling member of R&D Products, LLC is also a non-controlling interest shareholder of Flexpoint Sensor Systems, Inc. R&D Products has developed a mattress with multiple air chambers that uses the Companys Bend Sensors
®
and the Company has agreed to manufacture the Bend Sensors
®
for the mattresses. The initial order is for 30,000 Bend Sensors® to be used to begin manufacture of 1,000 mattresses. The realization of the manufacturing and sales of the Bend Sensors
®
is dependent upon R&D Products selling either their bed technology directly or licensing their technology to a third party. There are no guarantees that R&D will make such sales in such quantities to meet the demands of this contract.

FLEXPOINT SENSOR SYSTEMS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
(A Development Stage Company)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
In September 2007 the Company entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the Agreement) with Precision Pumping Systems, Inc. (Precision), a Washington corporation, with its principal office in Kelso, Washington. Under the terms of the agreement, Precision will market and distribute the patented Wave Sensor
®
, a flow meter utilizing Bend Sensor
®
technology to determine the presence and volume of liquid flow through a pipeline. The amount and direction of the flow can be continuously measured, monitored and recorded. The Wave Sensors
®
will be marketed and distributed by Precision to all types of industries, including original equipment manufacturers, municipalities, irrigation companies, governmental agencies and individual property owners. The Agreement is for a period of three years. Within one month prior to the conclusion of the three year period, the Agreement may be extended for one or more successive one year terms upon the mutual written agreement of both parties.
In September 2007 the Company entered into an agreement with Intertek Industrial Corp. on an automotive seat monitoring device application for emergency response vehicles. This monitoring device places the Companys Bend Sensors
®
in each rear passenger seat with a monitor viewable to the vehicles driver. The foolproof system informs the driver if the emergency medical technicians are seated and properly secured prior to departure and while the vehicle is in motion. Revenue from the development fees and the initial purchase order are estimated to exceed $100,000 and will impact both the third and fourth quarters of 2007.
NOTE 5 LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
On January 20, 2006, Sensitron, Inc., the Companys wholly owned subsidiary, filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the District of Utah, Central Division, against Michael W. Wallace, d/b/a Pure Imagination, seeking patent rights for a patent and patent application that Mr. Wallace filed with the United States Trademark and Patent Office. Mr. Wallace assisted Sensitron with the development of certain software to be used in combination with our Bend Sensor
®
technology related to the SEAT MAT™ system. Mr. Wallace failed to deliver the source code to Sensitron and failed to list our employees and previous employees as co-inventors on the patent he obtained and for his pending application for a patent. Sensitron is seeking a copy of the source code and ownership of the patent or correction of the patent and patent application to add the appropriate co-inventors. Sensitron is also seeking unspecified damages along with its costs and attorneys fees. As of September 30, 2007, this action is pending in the United States District Court.
On July 3, 2001, Flexpoint Sensor Systems, Inc. filed a voluntary petition for reorganization pursuant to Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. The petition was filed in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Utah, File No. 01-29577JAB. On February 24, 2004 the bankruptcy court confirmed our Plan of Reorganization. In our bankruptcy proceeding we objected to the $1,700,000 claim made by Delco Electronics, Inc. (Delphi). We believe that Delphi is precluded by the terms of the agreement from any financial recovery due to its breach of the sponsorship agreement. Other potential claims are breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duties owed to Flexpoint, Inc. pursuant to the contract, and intentional and negligent interference with Flexpoint, Inc.s contractual and business relationship with General Motors. We are currently attempting to negotiate a settlement to this controversy.
