REFLECT SCIENTIFIC, INC.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)



NOTE 1 -

BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION


The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted in accordance with rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  The information furnished in the interim condensed consolidated financial statements includes normal recurring adjustments and reflects all adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of such financial statements.  Although management believes the disclosures and information presented are adequate to make the information not misleading, it is suggested that these interim condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the Company’s most recent audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in its December 31, 2015 financial statements.  Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2016.


NOTE 2 -

ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS


Cole, Inc. (the Company) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Utah on November 3, 1999. The Company was organized to engage in any lawful activity for which corporations may be organized under the Utah Revised Business Corporation Act.  On December 30, 2003 the Company changed its name to Reflect Scientific, Inc.


NOTE 3 – FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS


The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, payables and notes payable.  The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents and payables approximates fair value because of the short-term nature of these items.  The carrying amount of the notes payable approximates fair value as the individual borrowings bear interest at rates that approximate market interest rates for similar debt instruments.


NOTE 4 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE:  Accounts receivables are presented net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses. The Company reviews the accounts receivable on a periodic basis and makes general and specific allowances when there is doubt as to the collectability of individual balances. In evaluating the collectability of individual receivable balances, the Company considers many factors, including the age of the balance, a customer’s historical payment history, its current credit-worthiness and current economic trends. Accounts are written off after exhaustive efforts at collection. At September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company had accounts receivable of $90,099 and $140,362, respectively.  At September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 the allowance for doubtful accounts was $4,000 and $4,000, respectively.



9








INVENTORY - Inventories are presented net of an allowance for obsolescence and are stated at the lower of cost or market value based upon the average cost inventory method.  The Company’s inventory consists of parts for scientific vial kits, refrigerant gases, components for detectors and ultra-low temperature freezers which it builds and other scientific items. At September 30, 2016, inventory was made up of $209,892 of finished goods, less an allowance for obsolescence of $12,500.  At December 31, 2015, inventory was comprised of $218,909 of finished goods, less an allowance for obsolescence of $12,500.  There were no raw materials or work in progress for either period presented.


INTANGIBLE ASSETS:  Costs to obtain or develop patents are capitalized and amortized over the life of the patents. Patents are amortized from the date the Company acquires or is awarded the patent 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 September 30, 2016.


GOODWILL: Goodwill represents the excess of the Company’s acquisition cost over the fair value of net assets of the acquisition. Goodwill is not amortized, but is tested for impairment annually, or when a triggering event occurs. As described in ACS 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.


EARNINGS PER SHARE: The computation of basic earnings per share of common stock is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted-average number of common shares and dilutive common stock equivalents during the period.  Common stock equivalents are not used in calculating dilutive EPS when their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.  At September 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company had no common stock equivalents.    


NOTE 5 – RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS - UPDATE


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



10







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.


NOTE 6 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS


None.


Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations


Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements


The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the “Act”) provides a safe harbor for forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of our Company. Our Company and our representatives may from time to time make written or oral statements that are “forward-looking,” including statements contained in this Annual Report and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and in reports to our Company’s stockholders. Management believes that all statements that express expectations and projections with respect to future matters, as well as from developments beyond our Company’s control including changes in global economic conditions are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Act. These statements are made on the basis of management’s views and assumptions, as of the time the statements are made, regarding future events and business performance. There can be no assurance however, that management’s expectations will necessarily come to pass. Factors that may affect forward- looking statements include a wide range of factors that could materially affect future developments and performance, including the following:


·

Changes in Company-wide strategies, which may result in changes in the types or mix of businesses in which our Company is involved or chooses to invest;

·

Changes in U.S., global or regional economic conditions;

·

Changes in U.S. and global financial and equity markets, including significant interest rate fluctuations, which may impede our Company’s access to, or increase the cost of, external financing for our operations and investments;

·

Increased competitive pressures, both domestically and internationally;



11







·

Legal and regulatory developments, such as regulatory actions affecting environmental activities;

·

The imposition by foreign countries of trade restrictions and changes in international tax laws or currency controls;

·

Adverse weather conditions or natural disasters, such as hurricanes and earthquakes, labor disputes, which may lead to increased costs or disruption of operations.


This list of factors that may affect future performance and the accuracy of forward-looking statements are illustrative, but by no means exhaustive. Accordingly, all forward-looking statements should be evaluated with the understanding of their inherent uncertainty.


Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates


The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the unaudited Financial Statements and accompanying notes.  Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.  The Company believes there have been no significant changes during the nine month period ended September 30, 2016, to the items disclosed as critical accounting policies in management's Notes to the Financial Statements in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.


Plan of Operation and Business Growth


Our efforts continue to be focused on increasing the sales of our life science consumables and detectors while, at the same time, working to commercialize our liquid nitrogen refrigeration products.  Of those liquid nitrogen refrigeration products, the ultra-low temperature freezer is receiving highest priority.  We also continue work on the refrigerated trailer, or “reefer.”  We have our first manufactured unit operational, have conducted a number of road tests and are working to develop alliances with contract manufacturers for those products.

 

We also continue to focus on the expansion of our detector.  We believe that the enhanced functionality of our new detector, coupled with its low cost, provides us with a competitive edge over products currently being sold in that specialized market.


Concurrent with the development and commercialization of the above products, we have completed our on-line catalog and are making progress in enrolling new distributors for our consumable products.  


Our revenues during the nine months have increased by $208,391during 2016 compared to 2015 revenues, but decreased by $41,668 for this three month reporting period compared the one year ago.

Revenues decreased during the quarter ended September 30, 2016, to $214,404 from $256,072 for the quarter ended September 30, 2015, a decrease of $41,668.  The decrease in revenues seen during the quarter resulted from lower sales levels of our specialized laboratory supplies, as compared to sales levels for the same period in the prior year.


The decreased sales during the reporting period result in a correspondingly decrease in cost of goods sold for the quarter ending September 30, 2016, as compared to September 30, 2015 to $74,581 from $106,562, a decrease of $31,981. The gross profit   percentage increased to 65% for the three months ended September 30, 2016, compared to 58% for the three months ended September 30, 2015.  The gross profit percentage is dependent on the mix of product sales, which varies from quarter to quarter.  We continue to actively work to obtain more favorable pricing from our vendors in order to increase the margins realized on our product lines.


Our operating expenses decreased by $5,773 in the three-month period ended September 30, 2016 over the comparable 2015 period.  Operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2016 were $189,688, compared to operating expenses of $195,461 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2015.  Management continues to look for operating efficiencies which will reduce operating expense levels.  Operating expenses for the remaining nine months of 2016 are expected to approximate the expense levels shown for the three-month period ended June 30, 2016.


The net loss for the three-month period ended September 30, 2016 was $49,920, an increase of $3,729 from the $46,191 loss for the three-month period ended September 30, 2015.  


The net loss per share for the three months ended September 30, 2016 was $0.00 per share.  This compares to a net loss per share of $0.00 per share for the three-month period ended September 30, 2015.

Revenues increased during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2015 to $975,761 from $767,370 for the nine- month period ended September 30, 2015, an increase of $208,391.  The revenues were generated from our specialized laboratory supplies, detectors and ultra-low temperature freezers.  The increase primarily results from increased ultra-low temperature sales in 2016.  


With the increase in sales, cost of goods in the nine-month period ending September 30, 2016 increased by $2,718, to $286,946 from $284,228 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2015. The gross profit percentage increased to 71% for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016, compared to 63% for the nine months ended September 30, 2015.  The gross profit percentage is dependent on the mix of product sales, which varies from quarter to quarter.  We continue to actively work to obtain more favorable pricing from our vendors in order to increase the margins realized on our product lines.  


Operating expenses for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016 increased to $620,751 compared to $578,670 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, an increase of $42,081. The increase relates primarily to research and development work related to the ultra-low temperature products.  As we continue to work to commercialize the ultra-low temperature product line we anticipate expenses levels for the remaining three months of 2016 will remain close to the level experienced through the last three months.


Net income for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016 was $67,764, a $1,132,778 decline from the $1,200,542 net income for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2015, which benefited from the one-time gain on extinguishment of debt of $1,355,375.  Management continues to look for opportunities to increase revenue, improve gross margins and reduce ongoing operating expenses in order to achieve profitability.


Earnings per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was $0.00.  Earnings per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was $0.02 per share.


Seasonality and Cyclicality


We do not believe our business is cyclical.


Liquidity and Capital Resources


Our cash resources at September 30, 2015, were $315,774, with accounts receivable of $90,099, net of



14







allowance, and inventory of $197,392, net of allowance. Accounts receivable decreased $46,263 as the result of receiving payment on our ultra-low temperature sales, and customer deposits decreased by $56,417, as the deposits made with orders were applied to invoiced amounts upon shipment of the freezers.  To this point in time we have relied on revenues and sales of equity and debt securities for our cash resources.   Our working capital on September 30, 2016, was $559,360, which is an increase of $73,080 over the working capital on December 31, 2015 of $486,280.


For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016, net cash provided from operating activities was $32,145 which compares to $79,060 net cash provided from operating activities for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2015, a change of $46,915. The change results primarily from the paying down of accounts payable and the application of customer deposits held.


Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements


We lease office and warehouse space under a non-cancelable operating lease in Utah which runs through November 30, 2017.  Future minimum lease payments under the operating lease at September 30, 2016 are $43,400 for that facility.  In addition, on May 9, 2014, the Company entered into an automobile lease. Future minimum lease payments under this lease are $6,240 at September 30, 2016, with minimum lease payments of $1,872 due for the remainder of 2016 and $4,368 in 2017.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.


As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures.  Based upon this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that information required to be disclosed is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the specified periods, and is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure of material information required to be included in our periodic Securities and Exchange Commission reports.  Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective at that reasonable assurance level as of the end of the period covered by this report based upon our current level of transactions and staff.  However, it should be noted that the design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote
