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, 2018 financial statements.  Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2019.

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.  

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION: The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Reflect Scientific, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Cryometrix. 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.

 We have applied the new revenue standard to all contracts from the date of initial application.  We recognize revenue when or as we satisfy a performance obligation.  We generally satisfy performance obligations at a point in time upon shipment of goods or, with our freezers, upon final acceptance of the unit by the customer, in accordance with the terms of each contract with the customer.  

A part of our customer base is made up of international customers.  The table below allocates revenue between domestic and international customers.

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, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had accounts receivable, net of the allowance, of $131,702 and $155,543, respectively.  At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 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, 2019, inventory was made up of $241,374 of finished goods, less an allowance for obsolescence of $86,339.  At December 31, 2018, inventory was comprised of $228,664 of finished goods, less an allowance for obsolescence of $86,339. There were no raw materials or work in progress for either period presented.

INTANGIBLE ASSETS:  Costs to obtain or develop patents are capitalized and amortized over the life of the patents. Patents are amortized from the date the Company acquires or is awarded the patent over their estimated useful lives, which range from 5 to 15 years.  An impairment charge is recognized if the carrying amount is not recoverable and the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the intangible assets as determined by projected discounted net future cash flows. 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, 2018.

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 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.

NOTE 3 -   GOING CONCERN

The Company continues to accumulate significant operating losses and has an accumulated deficit of $20,306,242 at March 31, 2019.  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 -   LEASES

We adopted ASC 842 using the modified retrospective approach, which allows us not to restate our comparative periods prior to the adoption of the standard on January 1, 2019.  As a result prior period presented before this adoption are not adjusted to reflect the effect of this new standard.

We have operating leases for our office and warehouse facility as well as for an automobile.  We used the lease termination dates of November 30, 2020 for the building and July 7, 2021 for the automobile to calculate right of use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities.

NOTE 5 -   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 has adopted the new revenue recognition and lease accounting standards. The Company believes there have been no other significant changes during the three month period ended March 31, 2019, 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, 2018.

Plan of Operation and Business Growth

Our revenues during the three month reporting periods decreased 23% during 2019 compared to 2018 revenues, as freezer sales for the period were $59,231 lower in 2019 than 2018.

Our efforts continue to be focused on increasing the sales of our life science consumables 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.

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 months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 follows.

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended March 31, 2019 and 2018

Revenues decreased during the quarter ended March 31, 2019, to $326,314 from $425,681 for the quarter ended March 31, 2018, a decrease of $99,367.  The decrease results primarily from the sale of ultra-low

17

temperature freezers which generated revenue of $72,419 in 2019 compared to revenue of $131,650 in 2018. We are continuing work to increase our market penetration in the ultra-low temperature freezer market.

Cost of goods decreased in the quarter ending March 31, 2019, as compared to March 31, 2018, to $93,906 from $109,310, a decrease of $15,404. We realized a gross profit percentage of 71% for the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to 74% for the three months ended March 31, 2018.  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 $237,744 in the three months ended March 31, 2019, an increase of $20,094 over the expenses of $217,650 incurred in the three-month period ended March 31, 2018.  The increase results primarily from increases in salaries, research and development, health insurance, professional fees, and advertising 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 loss for the three-month period ended March 31, 2019 was $5,535, which compares to a net income of $98,721for the three-month period ended March 31, 2018.  Management continues to look for opportunities to increase sales, improve gross margins and control ongoing operating expenses.

The net loss of $5,535 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2019 represents a loss of $0.00 per share.  This compares to the net income of $98,271, or gain of $0.00 per share, for the three months ended March 31, 2018.

Seasonality and Cyclicality

We do not believe our business is cyclical.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our cash resources at March 31, 2019, were $255,481, with accounts receivable of $131,702, net of allowance, and inventory of $155,035, net of allowance. Our working capital on March 31, 2019, was $396,937.  Working capital on December 31, 2018 was $446,877.

For the three-month period ended March 31, 2019, net cash provided by operating activities was $35,351 which compares to $6,818 net cash provided by operating activities for the three-month period ended March 31, 2018.

(a)

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

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

(b)

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act.  Management reviewed our internal controls over financial reporting, and there have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting for the three month period ended March 31, 2019 that have materially affected, or are like to affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
