Business
Overview
Reflect Scientific is engaged in the manufacture and distribution of innovative products targeted at the life science market. Our customers include hospitals and diagnostic laboratories, pharmaceutical and biotech companies, universities, government and private sector research facilities as well as chemical and industrial companies.
Our goal is to provide our customers with the best solution for their needs. This philosophy extends into our business strategies and acquisition plans. Through a series of strategic acquisitions in 2006 and 2007, we now offer a greatly expanded line of products that take advantage of market needs. Our growing product portfolio includes ultra low temperature freezers and chemical detectors, in addition to supplying OEM products to the life science industry.
Our Visacon brand chemical detectors provide our OEM customers a cost effective detection product that allows them to extend their markets. Detectors use patented optical detection technologies that can be tailored for pharmaceutical, biotechnology or other life science applications.
Our Cryometrix brand ultra low temperature freezers innovative design enables our customers to save substantially on energy costs related to cryogenic storage. Ultra low temperature freezers are used world wide for the storage of vaccines, DNA, RNA, proteins and many other biological and chemical samples. There is a growing need for energy efficient, reliable ultra low temperature storage units. We will continue to expand into this growing market with the Cryometrix freezer.
Organization
Reflect Scientific was organized under the laws of the State of Utah on November 3, 1999, under the name “Cole, Inc.” On December 31, 2003, we acquired Reflect Scientific, Inc., a California corporation and currently our wholly-owned subsidiary, changed our name to “Reflect Scientific, Inc.” and succeeded to the business operations of Reflect Scientific, Inc., that involved the manufacture and distribution of 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.

JMST had created a line of chemical detection instruments that are used in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology and homeland security markets. The patented technology allows researchers to accurately analyze chemical formulations for their composition and identity.
On November 15, 2006, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Image Labs Merger Agreement”) to acquire Image Acquisition Corp., a Georgia corporation by our wholly-owned subsidiary; Smithgall & Associates, Inc., dba Image Labs International, a Georgia corporation (“Image Labs”).

Business
Reflect Scientific designs, develops and sells scientific equipment for the Life Science and Manufacturing industries. Since our wholly owned subsidiary, Reflect Scientific’s, organization in 1991, our focus is and has been on providing value added products, analytic testing equipment and stand alone products for the life science and industrial market place. Reflect Scientific’s products range from non-mechanical CyrometrixTM freezers, products and parts for life science industry to tools and analytical services for industrial manufacturing.
All of Reflect Scientific’s products and services are developed with one key factor in mind-do they provide a superior cost/benefit to the customer than other products in the same marketspace. With years of experience in the life science and industrial manufacturing markets, Reflect Scientific has been able to develop not only unique patentable products but products that we believe offer immediate advantages and cost savings over any other competing and existing products on the market.
We have developed a business model with a focus on intellectual expertise in design and development of products and solutions for life science and industrial manufacturing industries. We outsource the majority of our manufacturing allowing us to maintain flexibility to develop products across multiple lines and industries. Our strength is in providing products which we believe offer immediate verifiable cost saving solutions.
We have found many companies that can manufacture products to our specification allowing us to focus on our core competencies of development and design and maintain a flexible corporate structure capable of taking advantage of new opportunities without the large capital investment for tooling and manufacturing equipment. This focus on the intellectual expertise as opposed to manufacturing of products also allows us to develop products along multiple industries and to tailor our products to specific needs in a variety of industrial settings. Our products are sold in the biotechnology, pharmaceutical, medical industries as well as the manufacturing industries such as automotive.
PRODUCTS
Cryometrix Freezers
Our Cryometrix ultra low temperature freezers are, we believe, a technological breakthrough that provides energy savings and other critically important benefits to cryo-storage customers in the Life Science related industries. Ultra low temperature freezers are used in multiple industries for the storage of everything from blood to cancer vaccines. These freezers are used by companies and organizations like the Red Cross, hospitals and biotechnology research facilities.
Currently, the only ultra low temperature freezers are produced by only a few companies and rely on a mechanical process for cooling. Because of inadequacies in the mechanical process, we believe there is wastage of inventory each year because of the problems of proper cooling found in the mechanical freezers.
Our freezers are a complete divergence from the current technology used in ultra low temperature freezers. Through the advantages of our technology, we believe, our freezers solve the current inadequacies resulting in immediate cost savings for our clients. Current cryogenic storage equipment falls short of customer expectations in a variety of key performance criteria.

§
High energy usage – a growing problem with rising energy costs
§
Inflexible temperature range – existing units cannot be easily modified for colder requirements (colder temperatures are an industry trend)
§
Sample inventory is at risk in the event of a power failure
§
Poor temperature uniformity –samples in different areas of the freezer can experience wide variations in temperatures which is undesirable from a regulatory standpoint.
Our Cryometrix ultra low temperature freezer uses a new patented design which is powered by liquid nitrogen. Through the use of a liquid nitrogen powered freezer system we are able to address the market need for:
§
Low energy requirements
§
Flexible temperature control – wide range of usable temperatures
§
Power failures have little effect - uses passive liquid nitrogen technology rather than electrically powered compressors.
§
Uniform temperatures throughout freezer – more usable storage volume
§
Much larger storage volume per area of floor space occupied – reduced facilities cost
§
Reliable and essentially maintenance free; further lowering cost of ownership
We believe existing freezers are outdated and our freezers will be the direction the industry will move offering us a chance to gain a significant market share in this large market.
Detectors
Our 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.
Companies that manufacture beneficial chemicals or biotechnology products are often required to develop a methodology to detect their presence in the environment or in living tissue. Recent market trends have been toward the creation of a dedicated system that is specific for a particular chemical. As the market expands for dedicated instrumentation, certain critical issues arise.
§
Lack of high quality, high performance OEM instrumentation - large instrument manufacturers sell the service/instrument combination only under their own brand name
§
High price points - instrument company structure does not allow value pricing
Our products provide the building blocks to create such a system. Patented technology provides an array of benefits to the OEM customer.
§
High performance instrumentation - meets or exceeds industry standards for chemical detection
§
Technological breakthroughs provide cost-effective detection instrument solutions
§
Versatile configurations allow tailoring to specific customer need without the necessity for expensive custom engineering
§
Certified by various regulatory agencies for sale worldwide
With the expanding focus on the need for detectors we designed a base system that can be tooled for multiple uses offering flexibility to our customers. We intend to further penetrate the dedicated OEM instrument market through new product development and continued cost reductions in manufacturing to meet price points.
Reflect Scientific is also poised to provide consumables to the same group of customers that purchase detectors. This one stop shopping is very attractive to customers and is unique in the OEM supply industry further making Reflect Scientific the choice for OEMs.
Testing Equipment
Our testing equipment provides automated inspection products and services including part handling and automation to manufacturers of automotive and diesel catalysts and filters, exhaust systems, and OEM’s including inspection of in service components such as Diesel Particulate Filters. Although there are several markets that can be addressed with these products
7
the first to be accessed is the automotive industry. The inspection product for this market takes advantage of the increased focus on environmental protection with respect to emissions from gas and diesel engines as well as the increased attention to 100% inspection directives from OEM’s. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Tier 2 emission standards on diesel cars and light trucks will be phased in from 2004 – 2010 and beyond.
Through our subsidiary, CATPRO, Inc., we will continue forward with the CATPRO line using its presence in the market and its strength as a product to position itself as a key supplier of automation equipment, inspection equipment and data management solutions.
Competition
The environment for our products and services is intensely competitive. Although the complexity of the products we produce limits the number of companies we compete with, the companies with competing technology are generally larger and often subsidiaries or divisions of very large multinational companies. Our competitors’ size and association with large multinational companies creates advantages over us in the ability to access potential customers. Many potential customers already purchase products either directly from our competitors or from another subsidiary of these large multinational companies creating natural inroads to sales that we do not possess.
Given our relative size verses our competitors, we often have to seek niche markets for our products or focus on selling components to be used in our competitors larger detection units. We believe, however, that our technology and experience in the ultra low freezers and detectors allows us to be competitive in our markets. However, since our products are new to the marketplace, the products long term commercial acceptance is still unknown. Most of our products compete against multiple competitors with our refrigeration products competing primarily against Thermo Fisher Scientific and Sanyo Corporation.
Growth Plan
We continue to evaluate acquisitions of businesses and technologies to enhance our revenues in the Life Science market. To that end, we completed the acquisition of All Temp in January 2007 and Image Labs in February 2007, and we acquired Cryometrix in June, 2006.
We intend to seek to expand the applications for our products and equipment into additional markets as we develop brand recognition. We hope to be able to leverage off of our existing products and name recognition as we continue forward using our existing offerings and product strength to position us as a key supplier of automation equipment, inspection equipment and cryogenic storage solutions. This strategic plan will also allow for further diversification of our customer base.
All Temp provides service and installation of ultra low temperature freezers and other environmental chambers. A strong synergy with the Cryometrix freezer products also exists. We will be able to further vertically integrate our freezer line of business and gain revenues from service contracts, installations and other services provided by All Temp.
Image Labs expertise is in the field of machine vision and robotics. A key component to product extension of the Cryometrix freezers is automation. Image Labs will provide the necessary technology to create product line extensions that integrate automation into existing products. Larger automated freezer systems are used world wide for the storage of vaccines and tissues and will allow Reflect Scientific to participate in this market.
CatPro, a division of Image Labs, provides automated inspection products and services, including part handling and automation to manufacturers of automotive and diesel catalysts and filters, exhaust systems and OEM’s, and inspection of in service components such as Diesel Particulate Filters.
Manufacturing, Supplies, and Quality Control
Many of our products are manufactured by third party manufactures, including our ultra low temperature freezers. We believe by outsourcing our manufacturing we are able to reduce the overall cost of our products. We do manufacture some products which are less labor and parts intensive in our facility in Orem, Utah.
Regulation and Environmental Compliance
Presently, none of our products are in highly regulated industries.
8
Sources and Availability of Raw Materials and Names of Principal Suppliers
Sources and availability of key materials and intermediates continue to remain stable. Where supply is considered a critical success factor for our business, we have certified vendors in place.
Dependence on One or a Few Major Customers
With the recent acquisitions and expansion of our product line, we are not dependent on any large customer.
Need for any Governmental Approval of Principal Products or Services
No products presently being manufactured or sold by us are subject to prior governmental approvals.
Effect of Existing or Probable Governmental Regulations on the Business
The integrated disclosure system for small business issuers adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission in Release No. 34-30968 and effective as of August 13, 1992, substantially modified the information and financial requirements of a “Small Business Issuer,” defined to be an issuer that has revenues of less than $25 million; is a U.S. or Canadian issuer, is not an investment company, and if a majority-owned subsidiary, the parent is also a smaller reporting companies. We are a “small business issuer.”
The Securities and Exchange Commission, state securities commissions and the North American Securities Administrators Association, Inc. (“NASAA”) have expressed an interest in adopting policies that will streamline the registration process and make it easier for a smaller reporting issuer to have access to the public capital markets.
We are also subject to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. This Act creates a strong and independent accounting oversight board to oversee the conduct of auditors of public companies and strengthens auditor independence. It also requires steps to enhance the direct responsibility of senior members of management for financial reporting and for the quality of financial disclosures made by public companies; establishes clear statutory rules to limit, and to expose to public view, possible conflicts of interest affecting securities analysts; creates guidelines for audit committee members’ appointment, compensation and oversight of the work of public companies’ auditors; prohibits certain insider trading during pension bund blackout periods; and establishes a federal crime of securities fraud, among other provisions.
Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act requires all companies with securities registered pursuant to Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act to comply with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission regarding proxy solicitations, as outlined in Regulation 14A. Matters submitted to stockholders of our Company at a special or annual meeting thereof or pursuant to a written consent will require our Company to provide our stockholders with the information outlined in Schedules 14A or 14C of Regulation 14; preliminary copies of this information must be submitted to the Securities and Exchange Commission at least 10 days prior to the date that definitive copies of this information are forwarded to our stockholders.
We are also required to file annual reports on Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q with the Securities Exchange Commission on a regular basis, and will be required to timely disclose certain material events (e.g., changes in corporate control; acquisitions or dispositions of a significant amount of assets other than in the ordinary course of business; and bankruptcy) in a Current Report on Form 8-K.

On June 29, 2006, Reflect Scientific pursuant to the securities purchase agreement sold to five institutional investors convertible debentures in the aggregate principal amount of $2,500,000 and stock purchase warrants exercisable over a five year period for 3,846,154 shares of common stock (the “Warrants”) in a private placement. All purchasers are “accredited investors” and a form D was filed covering this transaction.
* We issued all of these securities to persons who were “accredited investors” or “sophisticated investors” as those terms are defined in Regulation D of the Securities and Exchange Commission; and each such investor had prior access to all material information about us. We believe that the offer and sale of these securities were exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, pursuant to Sections 4(2) and 4(6) thereof, and Rule 506 of Regulation D of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Sales to “accredited investors” are preempted from state regulation.

Certain statements in this Report constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such a difference include, among others, uncertainties relating to general economic and business conditions; industry trends; changes in demand for our products and services; uncertainties relating to customer plans and commitments and the timing of orders received from customers; announcements or changes in our pricing policies or that of our competitors; unanticipated delays in the development, market acceptance or installation of our products and services; changes in government regulations; availability of management and other key personnel; availability, terms and deployment of capital; relationships with third-party equipment suppliers; and worldwide political stability and economic growth. The words "believe", "expect", "anticipate", "intend" and "plan" and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date the statement was made.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Reflect Scientific’s accounting policies are more fully described in Note 2 of the consolidated financial statements. As discussed in Note 2, 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 about the future events that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual differences could differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Reflect Scientific believes that the following addresses Reflect Scientific’s most critical accounting policies.
We recognize revenue in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, “Revenue Recognition” (“SAB 104”). Under SAB 104, revenue is recognized at the point of passage to the customer of title and risk of loss, when there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, the sales price is determinable, and collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. We recognize revenue as services are provided with specific long lead time orders.
The Company recognizes revenue on long-term contracts using the percentage-of-completion method. We generally recognize revenue using the percentage-of-completion method for original equipment that requires a minimum of six months to produce. When using the percentage-of-completion method, sales and gross profit are recognized as work is performed
14
based on the relationship between actual costs incurred and total estimated costs at completion. Estimated losses are recognized in full when identified. The asset, “costs and estimated earnings in excess of contract billings on uncompleted contracts” represents revenues recognized in excess of amounts billed. The liability, “contract billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts,” represents billings in excess of revenues recognized.
Our allowance for doubtful accounts is maintained to provide for losses arising from customers’ inability to make required payments. If there is deterioration of our customers’ credit worthiness and/or there is an increase in the length of time that the receivables are past due greater than the historical assumptions used, additional allowances may be required.
We account for income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“SFAS No. 109). Under SFAS No. 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets will be reflected on the balance sheet when it is determined that it is more likely than not that the asset will be realized.
Intangible assets include trademarks, trade secrets, patents, customer lists and goodwill acquired through acquisitions of subsidiaries. The Patents have been registered with the United States Patent and Trademarks office. The costs of obtaining patents are capitalized as incurred. Intangibles, except for goodwill, are amortized over their estimated useful lives.
The Company reviews long-lived assets, at least annually, to determine if impairment has occurred and whether the economic benefit of the asset (fair value for assets to be used and fair value less disposal costs for assets to be disposed) is expected to be less than the carrying value. Triggering events, which signal further analysis, consist of a significant decrease in the asset’s market value, a substantial change in the use of an asset, a significant physical change in the asset, a significant change in the legal or business climate that could affect the asset, an accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected to acquire or construct the asset, or a history of losses that imply continued losses associated with assets used to generate revenue. No such adjustments were required for the year ended December 31, 2008.
Plan of Operation
For the next 12 months, we see:
(1) A continued expansion of our core business through the development and commercialization of new products, which have already been identified, to meet existing market opportunities. This will be supported by an ongoing effort to create strategic marketing alliances that are targeted towards increasing net present value by optimizing cost and speed to market. Several new products are currently pending commercialization.
(2) The continuation of a complementary growth initiative, through strategic acquisitions, to improve our position with respect to tools, technologies and intellectual property as well as providing a near term increase in earnings.
(3) As part of an ongoing management process, our fund raising efforts and support for the above initiatives will be continuously reviewed and prioritized to ensure that returns are commensurate with levels of investment.
During 2006, we entered into material agreements with JSMT, LLC and Cryrometrix, Inc. These agreements resulted in the acquisition of strategic products and technologies that will allow us to increase our market penetration into the Life Sciences market.
During 2005 and 2006, we focused extensively on the acquisition of additional companies and their products and on the raising of capital to support our expanding operations. With the closing of the last acquisition in February 2007, we are changing our focus and management’s efforts to more marketing and selling of the product line. Additionally, we are hopeful; we can reduce some of our expenses associated with consultants, attorneys and accountants without the need for outside support of the acquisitions.
Our Business Growth
Our sales have increased substantially from 2006 through December 2008, as we completed the acquisition of new companies and their products. We anticipate this trend to continue in the future as we continue to expand our marketing and sales efforts related to our product lines. The long term growth of our product lines are still unknown as we have only recently completed the final acquisitions. We are hopeful based on sales during 2008 that the product lines are becoming commercially accepted and that sales will continue to increase.
We do not anticipate we will emphasize acquisitions as we have in the past and instead will focus on managing our current product lines. This will require a focus from management on the sales of these products. We completed a capital raise in
15
June 2007, with the hope we will be able to use the capital to aggressively market our products and pay for the expansion resulting from the acquisitions. We anticipate the future business growth over the next twelve months to come from our current product line.
Results of Operations
December 31, 2008 and 2007
Our revenues increased during the year ended December 31, 2008, to $10,126,805 from $8,020,266 for the year ended December 31, 2007, primarily as a result of increased business from our acquisitions.
Our cost of goods increased in the period ending December 31, 2008, as compared to December 31, 2007, to $5,500,694 from $4,633,278. The difference is primarily attributed to increased sales. The percentage on gross margins for the two years was essentially unchanged.
General and administrative expenses decreased to $2,998,008 during the year ended December 31, 2008, from $3,447,791 during the year ended December 31, 2007. This was due to our stabilization of our operations and our costs of operations. With this stability and our increase in revenues, our operating loss decreased to $535,033, after the operating loss in 2007 of $5,410,334. In 2007 we expanded operations in an effort to staff anticipated product development and product launches.
With the acquisitions, our salaries increased from $1,752,103 to $1,855,730 from December 31, 2007 to December 31, 2008. We anticipate salaries will increase further as we search for additional management personnel. We anticipate, however, that we will reduce expenses in other areas to somewhat offset future salary increases. One area we are hopeful in reducing expenses is the consulting, legal and accounting cost associated with the acquisitions.
There were expenses associated with the acquisitions in 2007, and as a result, we had a net loss of $2,164,396 for the year ended December 31, 2008, compared to net loss of $7,076,619 for the year ended December 31, 2007. With many of the acquisitions not closing until the first part of 2007, it will be difficult to compare last year's results with future periods or expected results going forward. We anticipate that sales will continue to increase and will be able to offset expenses going forward. Since we are in the initial phases of several product launches and these products are entering into new markets, the time frame until we reach profitability is still unknown.
Seasonality and Cyclicality
We do not believe our business is cyclical.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our cash resources at December 31, 2008, were $447,037, with accounts receivable of $1,005,864 and inventory of $765,589. We have relied on revenues and sales of equity and debt securities for cash resources. As a result of the issuances of debt and common stock, our working capital on December 31, 2008, was $263,279. To complete acquisitions and to fund our expanding operations, much of the working capital was used in the first part of 2007 requiring us to raise additional capital which was completed in June 2007. This capital was used to increase our manufacturing resulting in increased inventory. We hope to devote some of the available cash to marketing to help increase sales over the next twelve months.
Historically, we have financed our working capital requirements through the issuances of debt and common stock which has generated sufficient funds to offset shortfalls and cover losses. As we continue to expand our operations, we anticipate seeking additional capital through the sale of equity securities. It is highly likely we will again seek additional capital in the equity markets. At this time we do not know the extent of the overall financing will need in the future. Financing will depend on how well our products are received in the marketplace.
In 2008, net cash used by operating activities was $286,105 as opposed to $1,930,313 in 2007. The major changes were the result of the acquisitions and the cost to cover such acquisitions. We were able to offset the use of cash by raising additional equity in 2007. We are hopeful that in 2009, with the additional capital to focus on operations, including marketing, we will be able to reduce our loss for the year.
We anticipate losses to continue as we expand our sales efforts. Since the products are new to the marketplace, we are not sure how sales will be in upcoming quarters but we anticipate they will continue to increase and should start covering our expenses.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure
With the hiring of David Strate as our CFO, our auditors, HJ & Associates, LLC, were no longer independent. We engaged Mantyla McReynolds, LLC effective October 3, 2007. With the hiring of David Strate as the CFO of Reflect Scientific, we were required to change auditors and accordingly, notified HJ & Associates that we were going to dismiss them as auditors effective October 1, 2007 for all further services because of the hiring of Mr. Strate. Mr. Strate was employed by HJ & Associates at the time we hired him and we believed, along with HJ & Associates, that this created a potential conflict of interest going forward and would make HJ & Associates no longer independent in the future. We have had no disagreements with any of our auditors or accountants.
Item 9(A)T. Controls and Procedures.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our President and CFO, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our President and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report were effective such that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our President and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure. A controls system cannot provide absolute assurance, however, that the objectives of the controls system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to
Ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
As of December 31, 2008 we conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our president (also our principal executive officer and principal financial officer), of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting established in “Internal Control — Integrated Framework,” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (COSO) of the Treadway Commission. Based upon this assessment, we determined that there are material weaknesses affecting our internal control over financial reporting
17
The matters involving internal controls and procedures that the Company’s management consider to be material weaknesses under COSO and SEC rules are: (1) lack of a functioning audit committee and lack of independent directors on the Company’s board of directors, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures; (2) inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives; (3) insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of US GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements; and (4) ineffective controls over period end financial disclosure and reporting processes. The aforementioned potential material weaknesses were identified by the Company’s Chief Financial Officer in connection with the preparation of our financial statements as of December 31, 2008 and communicated the matters to our management and board of directors.
Management believes that the material weaknesses set forth in items (2), (3) and (4) above did not have an affect on the Company’s financial results. However, the lack of a functioning audit committee and lack of a majority of independent directors on the Company’s board of directors, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures, can impact the Company’s financial statements for the future years.
Management’s Remediation Initiatives
Although the Company is unable to meet the standards under COSO because of the limited funds available to a company of our size, we are committed to improving our financial organization. As funds become available, we will undertake to: (1) create a position to segregate duties consistent with control objectives, (2) increase our personnel resources and technical accounting expertise within the accounting function (3) appoint one or more outside directors to our board of directors who shall be appointed to the audit committee of the Company resulting in a fully functioning audit committee who will undertake the oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures; and (4) prepare and implement sufficient written policies and checklists which will set forth procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of US GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements.
We will continue to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of our internal controls and procedures and our internal control over financial reporting on an ongoing basis and are committed to taking further action and implementing additional enhancements or improvements, as necessary and as funds allow. However, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. The design of any system of controls is based in part on 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. Projections of any evaluation of controls effectiveness to future periods are subject to risks.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.
Changes in internal control over financial reporting
There have been no changes in internal control over financial reporting.

Family Relationships
There are no family relationships between our officers and directors.
Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings
During the past five years, no director, person nominated to become a director, executive officer, promoter or control person of our Company:
(1) was a general partner or executive officer of any business against which any bankruptcy petition was filed, either at the time of the bankruptcy or two years prior to that time;
(2) was convicted in a criminal proceeding or named subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses);
(3) was subject to any order, judgment or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction, permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting his involvement in any type of business, securities or banking activities; or
(4) was found by a court of competent jurisdiction (in a civil action), the Securities and Exchange Commission or the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law, and the judgment has not been reversed, suspended or vacated.
Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires that our executive officers and directors and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of our common stock, file initial reports of stock ownership and reports of changes in stock ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Officers, directors, and greater than 10% owners are required by applicable regulations to furnish our Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms that they file.
Based solely on a review of the copies of such forms furnished to us or written representations from certain persons, we believe that during our calendar year ended December 31, 2008, all filing requirements applicable to our officers, directors and 10% stockholders were met by such persons.
Code of Ethics
We have adopted a Code of Ethics that applies to all of our directors and executive officers serving in any capacity for our Company, including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller or persons performing similar functions, which Code of Ethics was attached to our Form 10-KSB annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2003. See Part III, Item 13.
Nominating Committee
We have not established a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee because we believe that our three members Board of Directors are able to effectively manage the issues normally considered by a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.
Audit Committee
We have no Audit Committee, and we are not required to have an audit committee; we do not believe the lack of an Audit Committee will have any adverse effect on our financial statements, based upon our current operations. We will assess whether an audit committee may be necessary in the future.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Reflect Scientific, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Orem, Utah
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Reflect Scientific, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholder’s equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audit in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company has determined that it is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purposes of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Reflect Scientific, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

REFLECT SCIENTIFIC, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2008 and 2007
NOTE 1 -
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.
Reflect Scientific, Inc. a California Corporation, was incorporated on June 14, 1993, under the laws of California to engage in the manufacture of test kits for use in scientific studies.
On December 30, 2003, pursuant to an agreement and plan of reorganization, the Company completed a reverse merger with the shareholders of Reflect Scientific, Inc. in which it acquired 100% of Reflect Scientific, Inc., a California Company in exchange for 22,914,949 common shares of the Company. The terms of the acquisition are detailed in an 8-K filing dated December 31, 2003. Under the terms of the agreement, the President of Reflect Scientific, Inc. became the President of the Company and was elected to the Board of Directors; the acquisition was accounted for as a recapitalization of Reflect Scientific, Inc. because the members of Reflect Scientific, Inc. controlled the Company after the acquisition. Reflect Scientific, Inc. was treated as the acquiring entity for accounting purposes and Cole, Inc. was the surviving entity for legal purposes. There was no adjustment to the carrying values of the assets or liabilities of Reflect Scientific, Inc. and no goodwill was recorded. The operations for the year ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 are those of Reflect Scientific, Inc.
Cryomastor, (renamed Cryometrix) was acquired in its entirety through a merger agreement on June 27, 2006 where Reflect Scientific issued 3,000,000 shares of common stock as well as $700,000 in cash to Cryomastor shareholders. In addition John Dain was paid $300,000 for the assignment of a key product patent to Reflect Scientific. The acquired assets will allow Reflect Scientific to manufacture and market cryogenic storage systems without significant investment in infrastructure.
All Temp Engineering was acquired in its entirety through a merger agreement on January 19, 2007 where Reflect Scientific issued 1,000,000 shares of common stock to All Temp Engineering shareholders. The Company entered into this merger after considering All Temp’s business history, financial condition, and intellectual property. The Company has a desire to expand its services and attract and retain talented technical personnel and believed there were strategic and financial advantages to combining the businesses.
Image Labs International was acquired in its entirety through a merger agreement on March 6, 2007 where Reflect Scientific issued 525,000 shares of common stock as well as $200,000 in cash to Image Labs International shareholders.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
a. Accounting Method
The Company’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The Company has elected a December 31 year-end.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2008 and 2007
37
NOTE 2 -
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
b. Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenues as required by Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104 “Revenue Recognition”. Revenue is only recognized on product sales once the product has been shipped to the customers, and all other obligations and criteria of SAB 104 have been met. These criteria are: persuasive evidence of an agreement exists, delivery has occurred, and the price is fixed or determinable,and collectability is reasonable assured.
The Company also recognizes revenue on long-term contracts, using the percentage-of-completion method. We generally recognize revenue using the percentage-of-completion method for original equipment that requires a minimum of six months to produce. When using the percentage-of-completion method, sales and gross profit are recognized as work is performed based on the relationship between actual costs incurred and total estimated costs at completion. Estimated losses are recognized in full when identified. The asset ”costs and estimated earnings in excess of contract billings on uncompleted contracts” represents revenues recognized in excess of amounts billed. The liability, ”contract billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts, ”represents billings in excess of revenues recognized.
c. Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
d. Cash and Cash Equivalents
The company considers all deposit accounts and investment accounts with a maturity of one year or less to be cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2008 and 2007 the company had no cash equivalents.
e. Accounts Receivable
The Company writes off trade receivables when deemed uncollectible. The Company estimates allowance for doubtful accounts based on the aged receivable balances and historical losses. The Company charges off uncollectible accounts when management determines there is no possibility of collecting the related receivable. The Company considers accounts receivable to be past due or delinquent based on contractual terms, which is generally net 30 days.
The Company charged $2,433 and $82,344 to bad debt expense for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The allowance for doubtful accounts balance at December 31, 2008 and 2007 was $80,161.
f. Fixed Assets
Fixed assets are stated at cost. Expenditure for minor repairs, maintenance, and replacement parts which do not increase the useful lives of the assets are charged to expense as incurred. All major additions and improvements are capitalized. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method. The lives over which the fixed assets are depreciated range from 5 to 7 years.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2008 and 2007
g. Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value based upon the First-In First-Out (FIFO) inventory method. The Company’s inventory consists of parts for scientific vial kits, refrigerant gases and other scientific items.
h. Advertising Expense
The Company follows the policy of charging the costs of advertising to expense as incurred. The Company recognized $62,330 and $42,654 of advertising expense during the years ended December 31, 2008, and 2007, respectively.
i. Newly Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial and Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141(R), “Business Combinations.” SFAS 141(R) changes the accounting for and reporting of business combination transactions in the following way: Recognition with certain exceptions of 100% of the fair values of assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and non controlling interests of acquired businesses; measurement of all acquirer shares issued in consideration for a business combination at fair value on the acquisition date; recognition of contingent consideration arrangements at their acquisition date fair values, with subsequent changes in fair value generally reflected in earnings; recognition of pre-acquisition gain and loss contingencies at their acquisition date fair value; capitalization of in-process research and development (IPR&D) assets acquired at acquisition date fair value; recognition of acquisition-related transaction costs as expense when incurred; recognition of acquisition-related restructuring cost accruals in acquisition accounting only if the criteria in Statement No. 146 are met as of the acquisition date; and recognition of changes in the acquirer’s income tax valuation allowance resulting from the business combination separately from the business combination as adjustments to income tax expense. SFAS No. 141(R) is effective for the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008 with earlier adoption prohibited. The adoption of SFAS No. 141(R) will affect valuation of business acquisitions made in 2009 and forward.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160 "Non-controlling Interest in Consolidated Financial Statements – an Amendment of ARB 51.” SFAS 160 clarifies that a non-controlling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. It also requires consolidated net income to be reported at amounts that include the amounts attributable to both the parent and the non-controlling interest, and requires disclosure, on the face of the consolidated statement of income, of the amounts of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the non-controlling interest. SAFS 160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited. We do not anticipate a material impact upon adoption.
In March 2008, the FSAB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” SFAS 161 is intended to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity's financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. We do not anticipate a material impact upon adoption.

i. Newly Issued Accounting Pronouncements (Continued)
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements.” SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expends disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements and does not require any new fair value measurements. The provisions of SFAS 157 were originally to be effective beginning January 1, 2008. Subsequently, the FASB provided for a one-year deferral of the provisions of SFAS 157 for non-financial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in consolidated financial statements on a non-recurring basis. The Company adopted SFAS 157 on January 1, 2008 for financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value on a recurring basis, with no material impact on its consolidated financial statements. We are currently evaluating the input of adopting the provisions of SFAS 157 for non-financial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed on a non-recurring basis.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.” SFAS No. 159 allows entities to voluntarily choose, at specified election dates, to measure many financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value. The election is made on an instrument-by-instrument basis and is irrevocable. If the fair value option is elected for an instrument, SFAS No. 159 specifies that all subsequent changes in fair value for that instrument shall be reported in earnings. SFAS No. 159 is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. The Company elected not to measure any additional financial assets or liabilities at fair value at the time SFAS 159 was adopted on January 1, 2008. As a result, implementation of SFAS 159 had no impact on the Company’s financial statements.
j. Basic Earnings per Share
The computation of earnings per share of common stock is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period of the consolidated financial statements as follows:

As of December 31, 2008 the Company had 9,181,838 shares of outstanding common stock equivalents; however, the company experienced a net loss during the year. The net loss would make the common stock equivalents anti-dilutive and as such the diluted earnings per share will not be calculated.
k. Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs
The Company records all shipping and handling cost in cost of goods sold.

l. Income Taxes
Deferred taxes are provided on an asset and liability approach whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax basis. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.
The provision (benefit) for income taxes for the year ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 consist of the following:

l. Income Taxes (Continued)
The income tax provision differs from the amount of income tax determined by applying the U.S. federal and state income tax rates of 34% to pretax income from continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 due to the following.

Due to the change in ownership provisions of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, net operating loss carryforwards for Federal income tax reporting purposes are subject to annual limitations. If a change in ownership occurs, then net operating loss carryforwards may be limited as to use in future years. At December 31, 2008, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $830,500 that may be offset against future taxable income from the year 2008 through 2028. During 2008 the company reevaluated its deferred tax assets and concluded that none of the asset would be realizable and that a full valuation allowance should be recorded. The valuation allowance was increased by $215,950 and leaves the company with a net deferred tax asset of $0 as of December 31, 2008.
The Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, on January 1, 2007. As a result of the implementation of Interpretation 48, the Company recognized no increase in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits, and we have recorded no additional interest or penalties. The adoption of FIN 48 did not impact our effective tax rates.
Included in the balance at December 31, 2008, are no tax positions for which the ultimate deductibility is highly certain but for which there is uncertainty about the timing of such deductibility. Because of the impact of deferred tax accounting, other than interest and penalties, the disallowance of the shorter deductibility period would not affect the annual effective tax rate but would accelerate the payment of cash to the taxing authority to an earlier period.
Our policy is to recognize potential interest and penalties accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits within income tax expense. For the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, we did not recognize any interest or penalties in our Statement of Operations, nor did we have any interest or penalties accrued in our Balance Sheet at December 31, 2008 and 2007 relating to unrecognized benefits.
The tax years 2007 and 2006 remain open to examination for federal income tax purposes and by the other major taxing jurisdictions to which we are subject.
m. Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, which include Cryometrix (previously Cryomastor), All Temp Engineering and Image Labs International. All subsidiaries are wholly owned. All material intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

n. Research and development expense
The Company accounts for research and development costs in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board's Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 2 ("SFAS 2"), "Accounting for Research and Development Costs". Under SFAS 2, 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. The Company had $297,402 and $198,396 in research and product development for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
o. Stock Based Compensation
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS 123R, “Share-Based Payments” (“SFAS No. 123R”), a revision of SFAS No. 123 “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS No. 123”), which requires companies to measure all employee stock-based compensation awards using a fair value method and record such expense in their financial statements. The Company adopted this standard effective December 1, 2006, and elected the modified-prospective transition method. Under the modified-prospective transition method, awards that are granted, modified, repurchased or canceled after the date of adoption should be measured and accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 123R. The Company had no options outstanding prior to the issuance of SFAS No. 123R.
p. Intangible Assets
Intangible assets include trademarks, trade secrets, patents, customer lists and goodwill acquired through acquisitions of subsidiaries. The Patents have been registered with the United States Patent and Trademarks office. The costs of obtaining patents are capitalized as incurred. Intangibles, except for goodwill, are amortized over their estimated useful lives.
q. Impairment
The Company reviews long-lived assets, at least annually, to determine if impairment has occurred and whether the economic benefit of the asset (fair value for assets to be used and fair value less disposal costs for assets to be disposed) is expected to be less than the carrying value. Triggering events, which signal further analysis, consist of a significant decrease in the asset’s market value, a substantial change in the use of an asset, a significant physical change in the asset, a significant change in the legal or business climate that could affect the asset, an accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected to acquire or construct the asset, or a history of losses that imply continued losses associated with assets used to generate revenue. No such adjustments were required for the year ended December 31, 2008.

REFLECT SCIENTIFIC, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2008 and 2007
NOTE 12 – CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES AND WARRANTS
On June 29, 2007, the Company entered into an agreement to sell $2,500,000 in 12% senior convertible debentures with a maturity date of June 29, 2009, with interest due quarterly. At the closing, the Company prepaid the first quarterly interest payment and reserved the second quarterly interest payment for a total of $150,000. The agreement allows for the Company to pay the interest in cash or in duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid, and non-assessable shares of common stock at the interest conversion rate, or a combination thereof.
The debentures have a conversion price of $0.65. If the Company, at any time while the debenture is outstanding, pays stock dividends, subdivides outstanding shares, sells or grants any option to purchase or dispose of common stock at an effective price lower than the conversion price, issue rights, options or warrants at a price lower than the conversion price, etc., the Company shall promptly deliver to each Holder a notice setting forth the conversion price after such adjustment and provide a brief statement of facts requiring such adjustment. In addition, if the volume weighted average price for each of any 20 consecutive trading days exceeds 250% of the conversion price, the Company may, within one trading day deliver a written notice to the holder and force the holder to convert a principal amount of the debenture equal to all or part of the holder’s portion of the forced conversion amount.
The agreement also provides for the issuance of 1,923,077 A warrants and 1,923,077 B warrants. The warrants are exercisable at a price of $0.80 per share for the A warrant and $1.00 per share for the B warrant and expire June 29, 2012. The Company valued the warrants using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. For the purpose of the valuation of the warrants, the Company calculated a volatility of 66.48% on its common stock and used the U. S. Treasury bill rate of 4.94% for its risk free rate. Then the Company allocated a portion of the proceeds to the warrants, based on the relative fair value basis, in the amount of $1,639,029 which is recognized as a contra liability account and will be amortized as interest expense over the 2 year term of the agreement. The intrinsic value of beneficial conversion of the debentures was valued at $5,677,491, which exceeds the effective value of the debentures of $860,971. Therefore, the discount assigned to the beneficial conversion feature is limited to $860,971 and is recognized as a contra liability account and will be amortized as interest expense over the 2 year term of the agreement.
As payment for services provided, the Company also issued 192,308 A warrants and 192,308 B warrants which were valued at $475,925 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and expensed during 2007.
The debentures and warrants have anti-dilution protections, and the Company has agreed to certain registration rights for the resale of the shares of common stock underlying the debentures and warrants.
A summary of the status of the Company’s outstanding stock warrants as of December 31, 2008 and changes during the period then ended is presented below:

NOTE 13 – COMMON STOCK OPTIONS
On December 31, 2007, the Company’s board of directors approved an equity plan. The equity plan known as the 2007 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) reserves up to 6,000,000 shares of the Company’s authorized common stock for issuance to officers, directors, employees and consultants under the terms of the Plan. The Plan permits the board of directors to issue stock options and restricted stock.
The fair value of each option granted under the Plan is estimated on the date of grant, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, based on the following weighted average assumptions:
|
|
|
|
|
|
Expected life (years) |
|
5.0 |
|
|
Expected stock price volatility |
|
65.79 - 66.27 |
% |
|
Expected dividend yield |
|
0.0 |
% |
|
Risk-free interest rate |
|
3.38 – 3.41 |
% |
The risk-free interest rate is based upon the U.S. Treasury yield curve at the time of grant for the respective expected life of the option. The expected life (estimated period of time outstanding) of options was estimated. The expected volatility of the Company’s options was calculated using historical data. Expected dividend yield was not considered in the option pricing formula since the Company does not pay dividends and has no current plans to do so in the future. If actual periods of time outstanding and rate of forfeitures differs from the expected rates, the Company may be required to make additional adjustments to compensation expense in future periods.
