VICTORIA,  BRITISH COLUMBIA,  May 14, 2020 - FLEXIBLE  SOLUTIONS  INTERNATIONAL,
INC. (NYSE Amex:  FSI,  FRANKFURT:  FXT), is the developer and  manufacturer  of
biodegradable  polymers  for oil  extraction,  detergent  ingredients  and water
treatment as well as crop nutrient  availability  chemistry.  Flexible Solutions
also  manufactures  biodegradable  and  environmentally  safe  water and  energy
conservation technologies. Today the Company announces financial results for the
first quarter (Q1) ended March 31, 2020.

Mr.  Daniel B.  O'Brien,  CEO,  states,  "The  first  quarter of 2020 has been a
difficult  time for many  companies  and  millions  of  people.  The  Company is
satisfied  with our financial  performance  considering  the covid  crisis." Mr.
O'Brien  continues,  "We  remain  in full  production  and are  proud  that  our
agriculture and cleaning product  ingredients are aiding in the struggle against
the disease."

     o    Sales in the first  quarter  (Q1) were  $8,429,486,  down less than 1%
          when  compared to sales of $8,471,476  in the  corresponding  period a
          year ago. The financials show a Q1, 2020 net profit of $1,264,675,  or
          $0.10 per share, compared to a net profit of $1,011,150,  or $0.09 per
          share,  in Q1,  2019.

     o    Basic  weighted  average  shares used in computing  earnings per share
          amounts  were  12,237,798  and  11,705,613  for Q1,  2020 and Q1, 2019
          respectively.

     o    Non-GAAP  operating cash flow: For the 3 months ending March 31, 2020,
          net income reflects $177,640 of non-cash charges (depreciation,  stock
          option  expenses),   as  well  as  gain  (loss)  on  disposition  (and
          involuntary  disposition) of equipment,  gain on investment,  interest
          expense, interest income, write down of inventory, and income tax; Net
          income attributable to non-controlling  interests. These are items not
          related to operating or current operating activities. When these items
          are removed,  the Company shows operating cash flow of $1,778,785,  or
          $0.15 per share. This compares with operating cash flow of $1,300,360,
          or $0.11 per  share,  in the  corresponding  3 months of 2019 (see the
          table that follows for details of these calculations).

The NanoChem  division  continues to be the dominant  source of revenue and cash
flow for the Company. New opportunities  continue to unfold in detergent,  water
treatment,  oil field  extraction and agricultural use to further increase sales
in this division.

Notes:  certain  items not  related to  "operations"  of the  Company  have been
excluded from net ----- income as follows.

a)   Non-GAAP -:: Flexible Solutions  International  purchased 65% of ENP in 4th
     quarter, 2018 (October 2018).  Therefore 3 month Net Income is also reduced
     by  the  dollar   amount  of   non-controlling   interest  in  ENP(see  the
     financials).

b)   Non-GAAP - amounts exclude  certain cash and non-cash  items:  depreciation
     and stock compensation expense (2020 = $177,640, 2019 = $154,026), interest
     expense (2020 = $101,425,  2019 = $129,007),  interest income (2020 = $414,
     2019 = $16,252), gain on investment (2020 = $199,529, 2019 = $230,652), net
     gain/(loss)  on involuntary  disposition  of equipment  (2020 = N/A, 2019 =
     N/A), write down of inventory (2019 = N/A, 2018 = N/A), deferred income tax
     recovery (2020 = N/A, 2019 = $125,999),  Income tax (2020 =$434,988, 2019 =
     $379,080),  and Net income attributable to non-controlling  interests.  See
     the financial statements for all adjustments.

c)   The revenue and gain from the 50% investment in the private
     Florida LLC  announced  in January 2019 is not treated as revenue or profit
     from operations by Flexible  Solutions given the Company only purchased 50%
     of the LLC. The profit is treated as investment income and therefore occurs
     below  Operating  income in the  Statement of  Operations.  As a result the
     gains from all investments,  including that of the Florida LLC, are removed
     from the  calculation  to arrive at  Operating  Cash  Flow.

d)   Non-GAAP - amounts represent  depreciation and stock compensation expense.
