REFLECT SCIENTIFIC, INC.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2018

(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, 2017 financial statements.  Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2018.


NOTE 2 -

ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


ORGANIZATION AND LINE 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.


Reflect Scientific designs, develops and sells scientific equipment for the Life Science and Manufacturing industries. The Company’s business activities include the manufacture and distribution of unique laboratory consumables and disposables such as filtration and purification products, customized sample handling vials, electronic wiring assemblies, high temperature silicone, graphite and vespel/graphite sealing components for use by original equipment manufacturers (“OEM”) in the chemical analysis industries, primarily in the field of gas/liquid chromatography.  


The Company’s chemical detector products serve the analytical instrumentation sector of the Life Sciences market. These optically based chemical detection instruments provide a cost-effective, high-performance alternative for original equipment manufacturers (OEM).   One major use for these detectors is the analysis of whole blood for metabolic diseases.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:


PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION: The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Reflect Scientific, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Cryometrix and Julie Martin Scientific Technology.  Intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.


USE OF ESTIMATES: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.


REVENUE RECOGNITION:  The Company recognizes revenue under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers.  The core principle of the new revenue standard is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled to exchange for those goods or services. The Company only applies the five step model to contracts when it is probable that the Company will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods and services transferred to the customer.  The following five steps are applied to achieve that core principle:


Step 1.  Identify the contract with the customer

Step 2.  Identify the performance obligations in the contract

Step 3.  Determine the transaction price

Step 4.  Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract

Step 5.  Recognize revenue when the Company satisfied a performance obligation


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 March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company had accounts receivable, net of the allowance, of $151,922 and $122,435, respectively.  At March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 the allowance for doubtful accounts was $4,000 and $4,000, respectively.


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 March 31, 2018, inventory was made up of $235,558 of finished goods, less an allowance for obsolescence of $86,339.  At December 31, 2017, inventory was comprised of $241,691 of finished goods, less an allowance for obsolescence of $86,339. There were no raw materials or work in progress for either period presented.




10







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. We perform an impairment analysis on an annual basis.  The Company’s analysis did not indicate any impairment of intangible assets as of the impairment analysis conducted December 31, 2017.


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.


RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSE - The Company accounts for research and development costs in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board's Accounting Standard Codification Topic 730 “Research and Development".  Under ASC 730, all research and development costs must be charged to expense as incurred. Accordingly, internal research and development costs are expensed as incurred.  Third-party research and developments costs are expensed when the contracted work has been performed or as milestone results have been achieved.  Company-sponsored research and development costs related to both present and future products are expensed in the period incurred. 


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 March 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company had no common stock equivalents.


RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS:  Public law No. 115-97, known as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act “the “Tax Act”). Enacted on December 22, 2017, reduced the U.S. federal corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2018.  Also on December 22, 2017, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (“SAB 118”), which provides guidance on accounting for tax effects of the Tax Act.  SAB 118 provides a measurement period of up to one year from the enactment date to complete the accounting.  Any adjustments during this measurement period will be included in net earnings from continuing operations as an adjustment to income tax expense in the



11







reporting period when such adjustments are determined.  As the Company has net operating loss carryforwards which will offset tax liability for the coming year or years, no adjustments for the effect of the income tax rate change is reflected in our financial statements.


In January 2018 the Company adopted ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).  The Company is using the ASU 606 five step model, outlined in Note 2 to the financial statements. We have completed our assessment of the impact under the new revenue standard on our condensed financial statements.  Based on our assessment, we have concluded that our financial statements will not be materially impacted upon adoption.


In February 2018, the Financial Standards Accounting Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Statement Update No. 2018-02, “Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.”  This ASU allows a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) to retained earnings for certain income tax effects stranded in AOCI as a result of the Tax Act.  The reclassification eliminates the stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Act and is intended to improve the usefulness of information reported to financial statement users.  ASU No. 2018-02 is effective for reporting periods beginning on January 1, 2019; early adoption is permitted. The Company does not currently have amounts to be reclassified under this and therefore believes it will not have an impact on its financial statements and statements of operations.


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 3 - GOING CONCERN


The Company continues to accumulate significant operating losses and has an accumulated deficit of $19,952,463 at March 31, 2018.  These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year from the issuance of these financial statements.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.


Management has taken a number of actions to reduce expenses. Management is seeking additional funding through the capital markets to facilitate the settlement of the remaining debentures, as well as to provide operating capital for its operations.  However, there is no assurance that additional funding will be available on acceptable terms, if at all.

 

NOTE 4 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS


In accordance with ASC 855-10 management reviewed all material events through the date of this report. There are no material subsequent events to report.

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;

·

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 three month period ended March 31, 2018, to the items disclosed as significant 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, 2017.

Plan of Operation and Business Growth


Our revenues during the three month reporting periods increased 66% during 2018 compared to 2017 revenues.  


Our efforts continue to be focused on increasing the sales of our life science consumables and detectors while, at the same time, working to enhance the design of our liquid nitrogen refrigeration products.  Of those liquid nitrogen refrigeration products, the ultra-low temperature freezer is receiving highest priority. We have received positive feedback of the improvements and enhancements made to the design of the ultra-low temperature freezer.  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 latest detector design, 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.  


An analysis of operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 follows.

Revenues increased during the quarter ended March 31, 2018, to $425,681 from $255,915 for the quarter ended March 31, 2017, an increase of $169,766.  The increase results primarily from the sale of ultra-low temperature freezers which generated revenue of $131,650 in 2018 compared to revenue of $27,340 in 2017. We are continuing work to increase our market penetration in the ultra-low temperature freezer market.


Cost of goods increased in the quarter ending March 31, 2018, as compared to March 31, 2017, to $109,310 from $90,028, an increase of $19,282. The small cost of goods increase, in comparison to the increase in revenue, is attributable to the sale of ultra-low temperature freezers, which carry higher margins than the specialty laboratory products.  We realized a gross profit percentage of 74% for the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared to 65% for the three months ended March 31, 2017.  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 all product lines.  


Operating expenses increased to $217,650 in the three months ended March 31, 2018, an increase of $49,375 over the expenses of $168,275 incurred in the three month period ended March 31, 2017.  The increase results primarily from increases in salaries, research and development, health insurance, professional fees and commissions, offset by small increases in a number of other expense categories. While we continue to monitor and minimize operating costs, we also realize that certain levels of expenditures are required in order to commercialize the products and achieve market penetration.  


The net profit for the three month period ended March 31, 2018 was $98,721, an increase of $101,109 from the $2,388 loss for the three month period ended March 31, 2017.  Management continues to look for opportunities to increase sales, improve gross margins and control ongoing operating expenses.


The net profit of $98,721 for the three month period ended March 31, 2018 represents a profit of $0.00 per share.  This compares to the net loss of $2,388, or $(0.00) per share, for the three months ended March 31, 2017.


Seasonality and Cyclicality


We do not believe our business is cyclical.


Liquidity and Capital Resources


Our cash resources at March 31, 2018, were $242,676, with accounts receivable of $151,922, net of allowance, and inventory of $149,217, net of allowance. Our working capital on March 31, 2018, was $491,047.  Working capital on December 31, 2017 was $392,326.


For the three month period ended March 31, 2018, net cash provided by operating activities was $6,818 which compares to $30,375 net cash used by operating activities for the three month period ended March 31, 2017.  


Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements


We lease office and warehouse space under a non-cancelable operating lease in Utah.  The office lease has been extended through November 30, 2020.  Future minimum lease payments under the operating lease at March 31, 2018, are $115,157 for that facility.  In addition, on July 7, 2017, the Company entered into an automobile lease with a term of four years. Future minimum lease payments under this lease are $24,531 at March 31, 2018.  The lease has an expiration date of July 7, 2021.
