REFLECT SCIENTIFIC, INC. - Quarter Report: 2010 March (Form 10-Q)

NOTE 4 – DEFAULT ON CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES

On June 29, 2009 the Company’s convertible debenture came due.  The Company was unable to repay the amount due of $2,300,000 at that time and the note went into default status.  Under the terms of the debenture, a penalty of 30% of the outstanding principle shall be accrued.  On the date of default the Company recognized this additional amount due of $690,000.  Also under the terms of the debenture, upon default, the Company is required to accrue and pay interest at the default rate of 18%.

In September 2009, Chestnut Ridge Partners, who held $87,000 in debentures, agreed to convert the amount due, including accrued interest, to the Company’s restricted common stock, as provided in the Debenture Agreement.  

In February 2010, management reached agreement with Enable on a plan to settle the debentures held by Enable that are in default.  The settlement agreement is contingent upon the Company making a cash payment to Enable in the amount of $400,000, which amount will be used to reduce the outstanding principle and penalty currently in default.  Upon receipt of the $400,000 payment, the balance of the principle and penalty will be converted into shares of the Company’s common stock at the rate of $0.40 per share.  The Company is currently working on raising the funding to enable it to fulfill the payment obligation under this agreement.  Should the Company successfully raise the necessary funding and make the $400,000 payment specified under the settlement agreement, the conversion of the debenture and penalty balance of $1,875,000 owed to Enable would result in the issuance of 4,687,500 shares of restricted common stock.  The holder of the remaining debentures is involved in bankruptcy proceedings in England and the resolution of those debentures and accrued interest is undetermined.

NOTE 5 – BUSINESS DISPOSITION

On March 2, 2010, the Company sold the assets and certain liabilities of Image Labs and Miralogix to an employee.  The time line from the point the Company made the decision to sell to the accepting of the offer and closing of the transaction was less than two weeks.  The sale was structured such that the Company received no cash from the transaction, while the acquirer took possession of all the assets and assumed all of the liabilities of Image Labs and Miralogix except for those related to accrued payroll and related personnel expenses.  Management’s decision to divest this subsidiary was based on its strategic plan to refocus its product lines and sales efforts to its proprietary green technologies.  A history of Image Labs and Miralogix operating losses, the potential necessity of additional capital expenditures, and the soft market for its products due to economic conditions, were additional considerations in making that determination.  The Company recorded a loss of $947,941 all of which is reported in the period covered by this report.  In conjunction with the disposal of this disposition, $99,100 was transferred to the new owners.    

NOTE 6 – EQUITY TRANSACTIONS

During the three month period ended March 31, 2010, the Company neither sold or issued any shares of its common stock.

NOTE 7 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Loan from Shareholder

During the three month period ended March 31, 2010, a shareholder of the Company had advanced $6,000 in funding in the form of a non-interest bearing loan to the Company.  It is the intent of the Company to repay this loan upon the closing of a major capital raise.

NOTE 8 – FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, 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 9 – NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-13, Revenue Recognition – Multiple Deliverable Revenue Arrangements (“ASU 2009-13”).  ASU 2009-13 updates the existing multiple-element revenue arrangements guidance currently included in FASB ASC 605-25.  The revised guidance provides for two significant changes to the existing multiple-element revenue arrangements guidance.  The first change relates to the determination of when the individual deliverables included in a multiple-element arrangement may be treated as separate units of accounting.  This change will result in the requirement to separate more deliverables within an arrangement, ultimately leading to less revenue deferral.  The second change modifies the manner in which the transaction consideration is allocated across the separately identified deliverables.  Together, these changes will result in earlier recognition of revenue and related costs for multiple-element arrangements than under previous guidance.  This guidance expands the disclosures required for multiple-element revenue arrangements and is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after June 15, 2010.  The Company is currently evaluating the potential future impact, if any, of this guidance on its financial statements.

In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-06 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures – Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements” (“ASU 2010-06”).  ASU 2010-06 requires new disclosures for significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and 2 of the fair value hierarchy and the level if disaggregation of assets or liabilities and the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value.  The updated guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, with the exception of the new Level 3 activity disclosures, which are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2010.  The Company adopted the applicable disclosure requirements beginning with the first quarter of fiscal 2010, with no material impact.

In February 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-09 “Subsequent Events – Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements” (“ASU 2010-09”).  ASU 2010-09 reiterates that an SEC filer is required to evaluate subsequent events through the date that the financial statements are issued and removes the requirement for an SEC filer to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated.  The updated guidance was effective upon issuance.  The Company adopted ASU 2010-09 during the first quarter of 2010.  The adoption did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

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 or 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 10 – SUBSEQUENT EVENT

On April 8, 2009 the Company issued 411,040 shares of its restricted common stock for the payment of patent fees and 50,000 shares of restricted common stock to an employee.

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

Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This periodic report contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 with respect to the Plan of Operations provided below, including information regarding the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, business strategies, operating efficiencies or synergies, competitive positions, growth opportunities, and the plans and objectives of management. The statements made as part of the Plan of Operations that are not historical facts are hereby identified as "forward-looking statements."

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, 2010, 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, 2009.

Plan of Operation and Business Growth

Over the next twelve months our focus will be on the commercialization of products acquired and developed over the last several years.  Included in this focus will be the continued development and commercialization of our ultra low temperature refrigerator line.  Additionally, we will continue to develop and expand our focus on solutions and services to retrofit server and computer rooms to help reduce the cost of cooling such rooms as well as provide a more reliable way to cool such rooms.   We also will continue to focus on the expansion of our detector line and contract manufacturing operations.

Management’s focus over the last several years was on the acquisition and development of our product lines.  Management now feels they have the core product lines in place to now refocus its efforts on the commercialization of the product lines.  As such much of the focus over the next twelve months will be on marketing our products and expanding our customer base.  

Our revenues during the reporting periods have decreased during 2010 compared to 2009 revenues.  We believe this decrease is due in most part to the current economic trends.  Our technology products require large capital outlays from our customers and the downturn in the economy has caused hesitancy on the part of our potential customers to commit funds to capital investments.  We do not expect this trend to continue.  Our products are new to the marketplace and we expect the demand to grow as our products become more familiar. We believe the product lines are becoming commercially accepted and that sales will increase.  

We do not anticipate we will emphasize acquisitions as we have in the past and instead will focus on managing and commercializing our current product lines.  This will require a focus from management on the sales of these products.  We anticipate the future business growth over the next twelve months to come from our current product lines.

Results of Operations

March 31, 2010 and 2009

Revenues decreased during the quarter ended March 31, 2010, to $568,184 from $733,797 for the quarter ended March 31, 2009, a decrease of $165,613.  No revenues were generated from Cryometrix/All Temp Engineering, as we are continuing to refine and commercialize the freezer technologies.  We anticipate revenues for each of the remaining reporting periods of 2010 will approximate those reported for this initial three month period.

Cost of goods decreased in the quarter ending March 31, 2010, as compared to March 31, 2009 to $297,580 from $435,233, a decrease of $137,653. The decrease was the result of reduced sales.  Gross profit percentage increased to 48% for the three months ended March 31, 2010, compared to 41% for the three months ended March 31, 2009.  While the gross profit margin will vary by quarter depending on the mix of products sold, we are working to obtain more favorable pricing from our vendors in order to increase the margins realized on product sales.  

Operating expenses were reduced significantly in the current period.  This reduction is the result of managements cost reduction efforts, primarily related to the operating efficiencies gained from consolidating the California operations.  Operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2010

were $302,136, a reduction of $457,603 from the $759,739 in operating expenses recorded for the three month period ended March 31, 2009.  Operating expenses for each of the remaining reporting periods in 2010 are expected to remain at approximately the levels shown for the period of this report.

The loss from continuing operations for the three month period ended March 31, 2010 was $165,350, a $662,412 reduction from the $827,762 loss for the three month period ended March 31, 2009.  The reduced loss results from the increased profit margin on sales and the reduction in operating expenses.

The loss from discontinued operations for the period ended March 2, 2010, the date of sale, was $199,909.  This compares to the loss for the three months ended March 31, 2009 of $99,949.  The widening losses incurred by the Image Labs and Miralogix subsidiary were a major consideration in our decision to divest that product line and focus our efforts on our green technology products.

The net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was $1,313,200, or $0.04 per share.  This compares to a loss of $927,711, or $0.03 per share, for the three months ended March 31, 2009.

Seasonality and Cyclicality

We do not believe our business is cyclical.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our cash resources at March 31, 2010, were $82,659, with accounts receivable of $299,235 and inventory of $372,079. To date we have relied on revenues and sales of equity and debt securities for our cash resources.   Our working capital deficit on March 31, 2010, was $(3,038,758), due primarily to the $2,925,000 in outstanding debentures and $394,875 in accrued interest on those debentures.  Working capital on December 31, 2009 was a deficit of ($2,621,941).  Management is working to obtain financing to enable it to retire the outstanding debentures and provide the capital needed to commercialize the low temperature freezer and refrigeration technology.  There can be no assurance that funds will be available, or that terms of available funds will be acceptable to the Company.  The inability of Company to obtain funding at acceptable terms could negatively impact its ability to execute its business plan.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2010, our net cash from operating activities was $16,886 which was an increase from the quarter ended March 31, 2009 where the Company used cash of $219,415.  

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We lease office and warehouse space under a non-cancelable operating lease in Utah.  Future minimum lease payments under the operating lease at March 31, 2010 are $247,931for that facility.  In addition, we have an automobile lease with future minimum lease payments of $4,951.

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.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk

Not required

Item 4T.  Controls and Procedures

(a)

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.

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 Chief 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 Chief 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 Chief 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 Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to a reasonable assurance level of achieving such objectives.  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.  In addition, we reviewed our internal controls over financial reporting, and there have been no changes in our internal controls or in other factors in the last fiscal quarter that have materially affected our internal controls over financial reporting.

(b)

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the period covered by this Quarterly Report.

As of March 31, 2010 the Company is in default on its Senior Secured Convertible Debenture.  The Company was unable to repay the debenture as demanded by the debenture holders.  The total amount under default was $2,300,000 plus a default principle of 30% or $690,000.  The total amount currently in default is $2,925,000 after $65,000 of the debentures and penalty were converted in September 2009.
