SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES [Abstract]
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES	NOTE 1– SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Condensed Consolidated 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. Therefore, 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, 2015 included in the Company's Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 14, 2016. 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, 2016. Nature of Operations – The Company is located near Salt Lake City, in Draper, Utah and is a company engaged principally in designing, engineering, and manufacturing sensor technology products and equipment using Bend Sensors® flexible potentiometer technology. The Company suffered losses of $469,375 and $478,687 and used cash in operating activities of $138,012 and $129,406 during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Through March 31, 2016, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $24,439,002. These matters raise doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. 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. The cash and equivalents of $32,779 at March 31, 2016 and $22,706 at December 31, 2015 represent cash on deposit in various bank accounts with a financial institution. Fair Value of Financial Instruments - The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value because of the immediate or short-term nature of these financial instruments. The carrying amounts reported for notes payable approximate fair value because the underlying instruments are at interest rates that approximate current market rates. Accounts Receivable – Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the time product is shipped or services are provided, including any shipping and handling fees, and are shown net of the allowance for bad debts. Due to the limited amount of transactions, collectability of the trade receivables is reasonably assured. While the Company has historically experienced very minimal bad debts it felt it prudent to create an allowance for doubtful accounts to provide for any risk associated with bad debts on current receivables. Most contracts associated with design and development engineering require a deposit of up to 50% of the quoted price of the initial phase of such contracts prior to the commencement of work. As the Company completes each phase or milestone of such a contract additional funding is normally required from the customer. These deposits are considered deferred income until each phase or milestone is completed and accepted by the customer, at which time the agreed upon price for that particular phase of the contract is billed to the customer and the deposit applied. Inventories – Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined by using the first in, first out (FIFO) method. Inventories consist of raw materials. 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 Company's long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment quarterly 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. The Company's analysis did not indicate any impairment of assets as of March 31, 2016. 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 rights to several patents and proprietary technology. Patents and technology are amortized from the date the Company acquires or is awarded the patent or technology rights, 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. The Company's analysis did not indicate any impairment of intangible assets as of March 31, 2016. Research and Development – Research and development costs are recognized as an 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 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 when a triggering event occurs. As described in ASC 360, the Company has adopted the two step goodwill impairment analysis that includes quantitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test. A fair-value-based test is applied at the overall Company level. The test compares the estimated fair value of the Company at the date of the analysis to the carrying value of its net assets. The analysis also requires various judgments and estimates, including general and macroeconomic conditions, industry and the Company's targeted market conditions, as well as relevant entity-specific events; such as a change in the market for the Company's products and services. After considering the qualitative factors that would indicate a need for interim impairment of goodwill and applying the two-step process described in ASC 360, management has determined that the value of Company's assets is not more likely than not less than the carrying value of the Company including goodwill, and that no impairment charge needs be recognized during the reporting periods. Revenue Recognition – Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services have been provided or goods delivered, the price to the buyer is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. Revenue from the sale of products is recorded at the time of shipment to the customers. 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 contracts are met and then recognized as licensing royalty revenue over the remaining term of the contracts. Stock-Based Compensation – Under ASC Topic 718, Stock Compensation, the Company is required to recognize the cost of employee services received in exchange for stock options and awards of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of such options and awards, over the period they vest. Basic and Diluted Earnings (loss) Per Share – Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net earnings (loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares and dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. At March 31, 2016, there were outstanding common share equivalents (options and convertible notes payable) which amounted to 21,720,103 shares of common stock. These common stock equivalents were not included in the computation of diluted loss as their effect would be anti-dilutive. Other convertible notes and options- related exercise prices were less than the average market price of the common stock. Concentrations and Credit Risk - The Company has a major customer who represents a significant portion of revenue, accounts receivable and notes receivable. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, the customer represented 28% of sales and represents 84% of accounts receivable and 100% of notes receivable at March 31, 2016. The Company has a strong relationship with this customer and does not believe this concentration poses a significant risk, as their products are based entirely on the Company's technologies. The Company has the option, under one of the notes receivable, to convert the principal and interest into equity of the customer. Recent Accounting Pronouncements - In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-02, “Leases.” This ASU requires lessees to put most leases on their balance sheets but recognize expenses in the income statement in a manner similar to current accounting treatment. This ASU changes the guidance on sale-leaseback transactions, initial direct costs and lease execution costs, and, for lessors, modifies the classification criteria and the accounting for sales-type and direct financing leases. For public business entities, this ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods therein. Entities are required to use a modified retrospective approach for leases that exist or are entered into after the beginning of the earliest comparative period in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its financial statements and disclosures. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, “Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting.” This ASU simplifies several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, although early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its financial statements and disclosures. The Company has reviewed all other 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.
