Flexpoint Completes Comprehensive Testing of the Pedestrian Impact System

DRAPER, Utah--Oct. 2, 20050, 2005--Flexpoint Sensor Systems, Inc. (OTCBB:FLXT) today announced they have recently completed the current phase of internal testing of their Pedestrian Impact Detection System as requested by European and U.S. Automotive Suppliers. This fulfills a requirement and brings Flexpoint closer to consummating an agreement.

Flexpoint's Pedestrian System recently completed extensive testing following protocol created by European Enhanced Vehicle-Safety Committee guidelines. The results confirmed the system is capable of distinguishing between a human leg and inanimate objects within milliseconds. Upon impact, the Bend Sensor(R) can trigger a safety response which may include raising the hood, lowering the engine block, or tightening the seat belt.

"Our Pedestrian Impact System has now been tested by Tier 1 suppliers, auto makers, and our engineering team proving its ability time and time again," stated CEO of Flexpoint, Clark Mower. "This vigorous process is characteristic of the auto industry, especially when they are evaluating technology that could potentially save lives. We are sharing these results with the automotive suppliers including the company that required this data prior to entering into a joint relationship."

"In addition, we are receiving renewed interest in our Seat Occupant Detection System by both European and North American Tier 1 suppliers. We have already supplied samples and may be providing additional samples for testing of this application by the end of the year."

Flexpoint Sensor Systems, Inc. has developed and patented the Bend Sensor(R) technology. The Bend Sensor is a technological breakthrough that offers a superior solution for applications that require accurate measurement and sensing of deflection, acceleration and range of motion. Global market opportunities include automotive, medical, industrial controls, government, health and fitness, security, computer, aerospace, transportation and consumer products.
