These unaudited condensed consolidated interim 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, 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K.  This quarterly report should be read in conjunction with such 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, 2013, the consolidated results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.  The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire fiscal year.

 

These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements include the accounts of Flexible Solutions International, Inc.

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