NOTE 6 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

The Company currently occupies a manufacturing facility in Draper, Utah. The lease on the facility expired on December 31, 2014, at which time the Company entered into a three year extension which will expire on December 31, 2017.  Either party may terminate the lease upon 90 day written notice.  Under the terms of the lease the Company paid $8,950 per month in 2015 (the same rate as in 2014), and will pay $9,300 per month in 2016 and $9,600 per month in 2017.

 

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 shareholder of Flexpoint Sensor Systems, Inc.  R&D Products has developed a mattress with multiple air chambers that uses the Company's Bend Sensors® and the Company has entered into an agreement to manufacture the Bend Sensors® for R&D's specific mattress use.  The initial order is for 30,000 Bend Sensors® to be used to begin manufacture of 1,000 mattresses.  During 2007 and 2008 R&D Products deposited with Flexpoint the sum of $100,000 to begin work on the initial production order of 20 commercial beds.  Additional revenue from this contract is dependent upon R&D Products selling either their bed technology directly or licensing their technology to a third party.

 

On September 11, 2008 R&D Products, LLC entered into a long-term Licensing Agreement for their bed technology with a major medical solutions provider (Licensee). The Agreement provides the Licensee the exclusive world–wide rights to R&D's patented medical bed technology. On that same day the Company, R&D Products and the Licensee entered into a long-term joint manufacturing agreement for R&D's medical bed technology and related products. The manufacturing agreement allows for the Company to manufacture sensors for the bed technology and related medical products through 2018 with an option to renew each year thereafter. Production schedules with specific quantities and deadlines are still being outlined. (See Note 2). At this time management is unsure the effect their litigation with R&D will have on this agreement with R&D or its Licensee. 

 

The Company is currently evaluating actions it should take relative to the notes receivable referenced in Note 2, which are in default.
