CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

          This document contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements other than statements of historical fact are “forward-looking statements” for the purposes of the federal and state securities laws, including, but not limited to any projections of earnings, revenue or other financial items; any statements of the plans, strategies and objectives of management for future operations; any statements concerning proposed new services or developments; any statements regarding future economic conditions or performance; any statements regarding future economic conditions or performance; any statements of belief; and any statements of assumptions underlying any of the foregoing.

          Forward-looking statements may include the words “may,” “could,” “will,” “estimate,” “intend,” “continue,” “believe,” “expect” or “anticipate” or other similar words. These forward-looking statements present our estimates and assumptions only as of the date of this report. Except for our ongoing obligation to disclose material information as required by the federal securities laws, we do not intend, and undertake no obligation, to update any forward-looking statement.

          Although we believe that the expectations reflected in any of our forward-looking statements are reasonable, actual results could differ materially from those projected or assumed in any of our forward-looking statements. Our future financial condition and results of operations, as well as any forward-looking statements, are subject to change and inherent risks and uncertainties. The factors impacting these risks and uncertainties include but are not limited to:

 

 

 

 

Increased competitive pressures from existing competitors and new entrants;

 

 

 

 

Increases in interest rates or our cost of borrowing or a default under any material debt agreement;

 

 

 

 

Deterioration in general or regional economic conditions;

 

 

 

 

Adverse state or federal legislation or regulation that increases the costs of compliance, or adverse findings by a regulator with respect to existing operations;

 

 

 

 

Loss of customers or sales weakness;

 

 

 

 

Inability to achieve future sales levels or other operating results;

 

 

 

 

The unavailability of funds for capital expenditures; and

 

 

 

 

Operational inefficiencies in distribution or other systems.

          For a detailed description of these and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statement, please see “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.

FLEXIBLE SOLUTIONS INTERNATIONAL, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Period Ended September 30, 2010
(U.S. Dollars)

 

 

1.

Basis of Presentation.

          These unaudited consolidated financial statements of Flexible Solutions International, Inc (the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information. These financial statements are condensed and do not include all disclosures required for annual financial statements. The organization and business of the Company, accounting policies followed by the Company and other information are contained in the notes to the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements filed as part of the Company’s December 31, 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K. This quarterly report should be read in conjunction with the annual report.

          In the opinion of the Company’s management, these consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary to present fairly the Company’s consolidated financial position at September 30, 2010, and the consolidated results of operations and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire fiscal year.

          These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, and its wholly-owned subsidiaries Flexible Solutions, Ltd. (“Flexible Ltd.”), and NanoChem Solutions Inc. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated. The Company was incorporated May 12, 1998 in the State of Nevada and had no operations until June 30, 1998.

          The Company and its subsidiaries develop, manufacture and market specialty chemicals which slow the evaporation of water. The Company’s primary product, HEAT$AVR®, is marketed for use in swimming pools and spas where its use, by slowing the evaporation of water, allows the water to retain a higher temperature for a longer period of time and thereby reduces the energy required to maintain the desired temperature of the water in the pool. Another product, WATER$AVR®, is marketed for water conservation in irrigation canals, aquaculture, and reservoirs where its use slows water loss due to evaporation. In addition to the water conservation products, the Company also manufacturers and markets water-soluble chemicals utilizing thermal polyaspartate biopolymers (referred to as “TPAs”), which are beta-proteins manufactured from the common biological amino acid, L-aspartic. TPAs can be formulated to prevent corrosion and scaling in water piping within the petroleum, chemical, utility and mining industries. TPAs are also used as proteins to enhance fertilizers in improving crop yields and as additives for household laundry detergents, consumer care products and pesticides.

2.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.

 

 

 

          These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States applicable to a going concern and reflect the policies outlined below.

 

 

 

 

(a)

Cash and Cash Equivalents.

 

 

 

          The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original or remaining maturity of less than three months at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are maintained with several financial institutions.

 

 

 

 

(b)

Inventories and Cost of Sales

 

 

 

          The Company has four major classes of inventory: finished goods, work in progress, raw materials and supplies. In all classes, inventory is valued at the lower of cost and market. Cost is determined on a first-in, first-out basis. Cost of sales includes all expenditures incurred in bringing the goods to the point of sale. Inventory costs and costs of sales include direct costs of the raw material, inbound freight charges, warehousing costs, handling costs (receiving and purchasing) and utilities and overhead expenses related to the Company’s manufacturing and processing facilities.

 

 

 

 

(c)

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

 

 

          The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts when management estimates collectibility to be uncertain. Accounts receivable are continually reviewed to determine which, if any, accounts are doubtful of collection. In making the determination of the appropriate allowance amount, the Company considers current economic and industry conditions, relationships with each significant customer, overall customer credit-worthiness and historical experience.

          Costs capitalized on self-constructed assets are classified as plant under construction and include contracted costs and supplies, but do not include capitalized interest costs. The Company does not commence depreciating its plant under construction until it becomes operational.

 

 

 

 

(e)

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets.

 

 

 

          In accordance with ASC 360, “Property, Plant and Equipment”, the Company reviews long-lived assets, including, but not limited to, property and equipment, patents and other assets, for impairment annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amounts of assets may not be recoverable. The carrying value of long-lived assets is assessed for impairment by evaluating operating performance and future undiscounted cash flows of the underlying assets. If the sum of the expected future cash flows of an asset is less than its carrying value, an impairment measurement is indicated. Impairment charges are recorded to the extent that an asset’s carrying value exceeds its fair value. Accordingly, actual results could vary significantly from such estimates. There were no impairment charges during the periods presented.

 

 

 

 

(f)

Foreign Currency.

 

 

 

          The functional currency of one of the Company’s subsidiaries is the Canadian Dollar. The translation of the Canadian Dollar to the reporting currency of the U.S. Dollar is performed for assets and liabilities using exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Revenue and expense transactions are translated using average exchange rates prevailing during the year. Translation adjustments arising on conversion of the financial statements from the subsidiary’s functional currency, Canadian Dollars, into the reporting currency, U.S. Dollars, are excluded from the determination of income (loss) and are disclosed as other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders’ equity.

 

 

 

          Foreign exchange gains and losses relating to transactions not denominated in the applicable local currency are included in operating income (loss) if realized during the year and in comprehensive income (loss) if they remain unrealized at the end of the year.

 

 

 

 

(g)

Revenue Recognition.

 

 

 

                    Revenue from product sales is recognized at the time the product is shipped since title and risk of loss are transferred to the purchaser upon delivery to the carrier. Shipments are made F.O.B. shipping point. The Company recognizes revenue when there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, delivery to the carrier has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable, collectibility is reasonably assured and there are no significant remaining performance obligations. When significant post-delivery obligations exist, revenue is deferred until such obligations are fulfilled. To date there have been no such significant post-delivery obligations.

 

 

 

                    Provisions are made at the time the related revenue is recognized for estimated product returns. Since the Company’s inception, product returns have been insignificant; therefore no provision has been established for estimated product returns.

(h)

Stock Issued in Exchange for Services.

 

 

 

          The Company’s common stock issued in exchange for services is valued at an estimated fair market value based upon trading prices of the Company’s common stock on the dates of the stock transactions. The corresponding expense of the services rendered is recognized over the period that the services are performed.

 

 

 

 

(i)

Stock-based Compensation.

 

 

 

          The Company recognizes compensation expense for all share-based payments in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation,. Under the fair value recognition provisions of ASC 718, the Company recognizes share-based compensation expense, net of an estimated forfeiture rate, over the requisite service period of the award.

 

 

 

          The fair value at grant date of stock options is estimated using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model. Compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the stock option vesting period based on the estimated number of stock options that are expected to vest.

 

 

 

 

(j)

Comprehensive Income.

 

 

 

          Other comprehensive income refers to revenues, expenses, gains and losses that under generally accepted accounting principles are included in comprehensive income, but are excluded from net income as these amounts are recorded directly as an adjustment to stockholders’ equity. The Company’s other comprehensive income is primarily comprised of unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses.

 

 

 

 

(k)

Income (loss) Per Share.

 

 

 

          Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding in the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share are calculated giving effect to the potential dilution of the exercise of options and warrants.

 

 

 

 

(l)

Use of Estimates.

 

 

 

          The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and would impact the results of operations and cash flows.

 

 

 

 

(m)

Financial Instruments.

 

 

 

          The fair market value of the Company’s financial instruments comprising cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, long term deposits and accounts payable were estimated to approximate their carrying values due to immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments. The Company maintains cash balances at financial institutions which at times, exceed federally insured amounts. The Company has not experienced any material losses in such accounts.

          The Company is exposed to foreign exchange and interest rate risk to the extent that market value rate fluctuations materially differ from financial assets and liabilities, subject to fixed long-term rates.

 

 

 

 

(n)

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

 

 

          In August 2009, an update was made to Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures — “Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value.” This update permits entities to measure the fair value of liabilities, in circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for an identical liability is not available, using a valuation technique that uses a quoted price of an identical liability when traded as an asset, quoted prices for similar liabilities or similar liabilities when traded as assets or the income or market approach that is consistent with the principles of Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. Effective upon issuance, the Company has adopted this guidance with no material impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

 

 

          Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The standard describes a fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs described below, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value.

 

 

 

 

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

 

 

 

 

Level 2 – Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

 

 

 

 

Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

 

 

 

          The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, long term deposits and accounts payable for all periods presented approximate their respective carrying amounts due to the short term nature of these financial instruments. The fair values of long term debt approximate their carrying amounts as they bear market rates of interest.

 

 

 

 

(o)

Contingencies

 

 

 

          Certain conditions may exist as of the date the financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company’s management and its legal counsel assess such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company’s legal counsel evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought.

FLEXIBLE SOLUTIONS INTERNATIONAL, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Period Ended September 30, 2010
(U.S. Dollars)

 

 

 

          If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potential material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss if determinable and material, would be disclosed.

 

 

 

          Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed.

 

 

 

 

(p)

Income Taxes

 

 

 

          Federal, state and foreign income taxes are computed at current tax rates, less tax credits. Provisions for income taxes include amounts that are currently payable, plus changes in deferred income tax assets and liabilities. Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance so that the assets are recognized only to the extent that when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized.

 

 

 

 

(q)

Risk Management

 

 

 

          The Company’s credit risk is primarily attributable to its accounts receivable. The amounts presented in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets are net of allowances for doubtful accounts, estimated by the Company’s management based on prior experience and the current economic environment. The Company is exposed to credit-related losses in the event of non-performance by counterparties to the financial instruments. Credit exposure is minimized by dealing with only credit worthy counterparties. Accounts receivable for the three primary customers totals $1,184,245 (59%) as at September 30, 2010 (2009 - $1,030,960 or 67%).

 

 

 

          The credit risk on cash and cash equivalents is limited because the Company limits its exposure to credit loss by placing its cash and cash equivalents with major financial institutions.

 

 

 

          The Company is not exposed to significant interest rate risk to the extent that long term debt owed to foreign government agencies is subject to a fixed rate of interest.

 

 

 

          In order to manage its exposure to foreign exchange risks, the Company is closely monitoring the fluctuations in the foreign currency exchange rates and the impact on the value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

 

 

          In October 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2009-13, Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangement (ASU 2009-13), which amends Codification Topic 605, Revenue Recognition. This update provides amendments to the criteria for separating deliverables, measuring and allocating arrangement consideration to one or more units of accounting. This update also establishes a selling price hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable. ASU 2009-13 is effective for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of the update may have on its consolidated results of operations and financial position.

 

 

 

          In June 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-1 to FASB Codification Topic 105, Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, based on SFAS No. 168, FASB Accounting Guidance Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles — a replacement of SFAS No. 162. This statement establishes that the FASB Codification becomes the single official source of authoritative U.S. GAAP superseding all non-SEC accounting and reporting standards and literature. Only one level of authoritative U.S. GAAP will exist and all other literature will be considered non-authoritative. The FASB Codification became effective for interim and annual periods ending on or after September 15, 2009. The Company adopted the FASB Codification beginning in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009. Given that the FASB Codification does not change U.S. GAAP, this statement had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations. Where possible, previously disclosed FASB references have been replaced with FASB Codification references.

 

 

 

          In June 2009, an update was made to ASC 810, Consolidation. This update amends previous guidance to require the Company to perform an analysis to determine whether its variable interests give it a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity. The update is effective for annual periods beginning after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period, and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of the update may have on its consolidated results of operations and financial position.

 

 

 

          In May 2009, the FASB issued guidance which is included in FASB Codification Topic 855, Subsequent Events, (ASC 855). ASC 855 establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued. The Company has evaluated subsequent events through September 30, 2010 for appropriate accounting and disclosure in accordance with this standard.

 

 

 

          In April 2009, the FASB issued guidance which is included in FASB Codification Topic 320, Investments — Debt and Equity Securities, (ASC 320). ASC 320 amended the other-than-temporary impairment guidance for debt securities to make the guidance more operational and to improve the presentation and disclosure of other-than-temporary impairments on debt and equity securities. The Company’s implementation of this standard on May 1, 2009 did not have a significant impact on its consolidated statements of operations and financial position.

SEGMENTED, SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMER INFORMATION AND ECONOMIC DEPENDENCY.

 

 

 

The Company operates in two segments:

 

 

 

          (a) Development and marketing of two lines of energy and water conservation products (as shown under the column heading “EWCP” below), which consists of a (i) liquid swimming pool blanket which saves energy and water by inhibiting evaporation from the pool surface, and (ii) food-safe powdered form of the active ingredient within the liquid blanket and which is designed to be used in still or slow moving drinking water sources.

 

 

 

          (b) Manufacture of biodegradable polymers (“BCPA’s”) used by the petroleum, chemical, utility and mining industries to prevent corrosion and scaling in water piping. This product can also be used in detergents to increase biodegradability and in agriculture to increase crop yields by enhancing fertilizer uptake.

 

 

          The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in Note 2, Significant Accounting Policies. The Company evaluates performance based on profit or loss from operations before income taxes, not including nonrecurring gains and losses and foreign exchange gains and losses.

                    The Company’s reportable segments are strategic business units that offer different, but synergistic products and services. They are managed separately because each business requires different technology and marketing strategies.

The services were not performed and in the proceedings the Company sought the return of the shares and the repayment of the loan. On the date of issuance, the transaction was recorded as shares issued for services at a fair market value of $0.80 per share. On April 30, 2009 the Supreme Court of British Columbia ruled in favor of the Company and ordered Equity Trust S.A. to return the 100,000 shares and repay the loan with interest ($30,514US). The Company has reversed the expense recorded for the shares in the year ended December 31, 2009.

Item 2.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation.

Overview

          The Company develops, manufactures and markets specialty chemicals that slow the evaporation of water. The Company also manufactures and markets biodegradable polymers which are used in the oil, gas and agriculture industries.

Results of Operations

          The Company has two product lines:

Energy and Water Conservation products. The Company’s HEAT$AVR® product is used in swimming pools and spas. The product forms a thin, transparent layer on the water’s surface. The transparent layer slows the evaporation of water, allowing the water to retain a higher temperature for a longer period of time and thereby reducing the energy required to maintain the desired temperature of the water. WATER$AVR®, a modified version of HEAT$AVR®, can be used in reservoirs, potable water storage tanks, livestock watering ponds, canals, and irrigation ditches.

BCPA products. The second product TPA’s (i.e. thermal polyaspartate biopolymers) are biodegradable polymers used by the petroleum, chemical, utility and mining industries to prevent corrosion and scaling in water piping. This product can also be used in detergents to increase biodegradability and in agriculture to increase crop yields by enhancing fertilizer uptake.

          The Company’s US subsidiary, Nanochem Solutions, Inc has normally generated income and paid income taxes on its profits. However, the Company’s Canadian subsidiary, Flexible Solutions Ltd., normally generates losses. The losses of the Company’s Canadian subsidiary cannot be used to reduce any taxes payable by the Company’s US subsidiary. As a result, and since for financial reporting purposes the operating results of the US and Canadian subsidiaries are consolidated, the income tax expense (benefit) shown in the Company’s statements of operations reflects the combined income tax (benefit) of the subsidiaries.

Material changes in the Company’s Statement of Operations for the periods presented are discussed below:

          In 2007, the Company began construction of a plant in Taber Alberta. The plant will be used to manufacture aspartic acid which is the major component of TPAs. Presently the Company buys its aspartic acid from China where the base raw material is oil. The Company’s plant in Taber will use sugar as the base raw material. Although the Company expects that it will still import some aspartic acid from China, using aspartic acid manufactured by it’s plant from sugar will reduce its raw material costs, reduce price fluctuations generated by oil prices and reduce shipping costs.

          The Company expects that the Taber plant will begin commercial production in late 2010 or early 2011 and expects to spend approximately another $500,000 before commercial production begins.

          The Company has sufficient cash resources to meets its future commitments and cash flow requirements for the coming year. As of September 30, 2010 working capital was $5,796,857 (2009 - $5,724,264) and the Company has no substantial commitments that require significant outlays of cash over the coming fiscal year.

          The Company is committed to minimum rental payments for property and premises aggregating approximately $322,370 over the term of three leases, the last expiring on June 30, 2014.

          Commitments in each of the next five years are approximately as follows:
