Overview

Reflect Scientific is engaged in the manufacture and distribution of innovative products targeted at the life science market. Our customers include hospitals, diagnostic laboratories, pharmaceutical and biotech companies, cold chain management, universities, government and private sector research facilities, 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, we acquired technology that has enabled us to expand our line of products to align with, and capitalize on, market needs. Our growing product portfolio includes ultra-low temperature freezers, blast freezers, solvent chillers and refrigerated transportation in addition to supplying OEM products to the life sciences industry.

Our Cryometrix brand ultra-low temperature and blast freezers innovative design enables our customers to save substantially on energy costs related to cryogenic storage. Ultra-low temperature freezers are used worldwide for the storage of vaccines, DNA, RNA, proteins and many other biological and chemical substances. There is a growing need for energy efficient, reliable ultra-low temperature storage units. Our Cryometrix freezers are targeted to this growing market and we have had tremendous success in blood storage and pharmaceutical manufacturing applications. The application of this technology for use in refrigerated trailers (commonly called “reefers”) used to transport goods which need to be maintained in a cold environment significantly broadens the market for this technology. The utilization of this technology in reefers eliminates the current method of cooling, which uses engines run on hydrocarbon fuels. The Cryometrix technology is pollutant free and is more efficient and cost effective than the technologies currently used. Reflect Scientific has added a new product line of solvent chillers. Solvent chillers are used in natural products extraction for optimizing product yield and purity.

Recent Developments

None.

Impact of Coronavirus Pandemic

Starting in late 2019, a novel strain of the coronavirus, or COVID-19, began to rapidly spread around the world and every state in the United States. Most states and cities have at various times instituted quarantines, restrictions on travel, “stay at home” rules, social distancing measures and restrictions on the types of businesses that could continue to operate, as well as guidance in response to the pandemic and the need to contain it. At this time, there continues to be significant volatility and uncertainty relating to the full extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic and the various responses to it will impact our business, operations and financial results.

The pandemic has impacted and may continue to impact some suppliers and manufacturers on some of our products. As a result, we have faced and may continue to face longer supply chain lead-times and higher logistics costs. Additionally, costs for raw materials have also started to increase due to availability, which could negatively affect its business and financial results.

The extent to which the pandemic may impact our results will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted as of the date of this report, including the effectiveness of vaccines and other treatments for COVID-19, and other new information that may emerge concerning the severity of the pandemic and steps taken to contain the pandemic or treat its impact, among others. Nevertheless, the pandemic and the current financial, economic and capital markets environment, and future developments in the global supply chain and other areas present material uncertainty and risk with respect to our performance, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On a regular basis, we evaluate these estimates. These estimates are based on management’s historical industry experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

For a description of the accounting policies that, in management’s opinion, involve the most significant application of judgment or involve complex estimation and which could, if different judgment or estimates were made, materially affect our reported financial position, results of operations, or cash flows, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 filed with the SEC on March 31, 2022.

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, there were no significant changes in our accounting policies and estimates.

Results of Operations

Comparison of the Three Months Ended June 30, 2023 and 2022

The following table sets forth key components of our results of operations during the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, both in dollars and as a percentage of our revenues.

Revenues. Revenues decreased by $431,231, or 77.6%, to $124,384 for the three months ended June 30, 2023, from $555,615 for the three months ended June 30, 2022. Such decrease was primarily due to a significant decrease in freezer and chiller sales and ongoing supply chain delays with manufacturers.

Cost of goods sold. Cost of goods sold decreased by $131,971, or 67.4%, to $63,850 for the three months ended June 30, 2023,from $195,821 for the three months ended June 30, 2022. Such decrease was primarily due to decreased freezer and chillers sales, offset by increased product costs.

Gross profit. Our gross profit as a percentage of sales decreased to 48.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to 64.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The decrease in gross profit percentage was primarily due to the decrease in freezer and chiller sales, which have better margins than other products, offset by increased product costs.

Salaries and wages. Salaries and wages decreased by $4,996, or 3.1%, to $154,569 for the three months ended June 30, 2023,from $159,565 for the three months ended June 30, 2022. Such decrease was primarily due to decreased headcount.

General and administrative. General and administrative expenses decreased by $22,414, or 21.6%, to $81,361 for the three months ended June 30, 2023,from $103,775 for the three months ended June 30, 2022. Such decrease was primarily due to the decline in operations, offset by increased public filing and insurance costs.

Research and development. Research and development expenses decreased by $12,949, or 70.6%, to $5,380 for the three months ended June 30, 2023,from $18,329 for the three months ended June 30, 2022. Such decrease was primarily a result of decreased enhancements to the ultra-cold CBD oil chiller as a result of the decline in operations.

Net income (loss). As a result of the cumulative effect of the factors described above, our net loss was $181,088 for the three months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to net income of $78,125 for the three months ended June 30, 2022. Management continues to look for opportunities to increase sales, improve gross margins and control ongoing operating expenses.

The following table sets forth key components of our results of operations during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, both in dollars and as a percentage of our revenues.

Revenues. Revenues decreased by $943,680, or 72.1%, to $365,511 for the six months ended June 30, 2023, from $1,309,191 for the six months ended June 30, 2022. Such decrease was primarily due to a significant decrease in freezer and chiller sales and ongoing supply chain delays with manufacturers.

Cost of goods sold. Cost of goods sold decreased by $252,627, or 58.7%, to $177,483 for the six months ended June 30, 2023, from $430,110 for the six months ended June 30, 2022. Such decrease was primarily due to decreased freezer and chillers sales, offset by increased product costs.

Gross profit. Our gross profit as a percentage of sales decreased to 51.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to 67.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The decrease in gross profit percentage was primarily due to the decrease in freezer and chiller sales, which have better margins than other products, offset by increased product costs.

Salaries and wages. Salaries and wages decreased by $13,000, or 3.9%, to $316,844 for the six months ended June 30, 2023, from $329,844 for the six months ended June 30, 2022. Such decrease was primarily due to decreased headcount.

General and administrative. General and administrative expenses decreased by $32,600, or 14.8%, to $188,353 for the six months ended June 30, 2023, from $220,953 for the six months ended June 30, 2022. Such decrease was primarily due to the decline in operations, offset by increased public filing and insurance costs.

Research and development. Research and development expenses decreased by $32,208, or 73.8%, to $11,446 for the six months ended June 30, 2023, from $43,654 for the six months ended June 30, 2022. Such decrease was primarily a result of decreased enhancements to the ultra-cold CBD oil chiller as a result of the decline in operations.

Net income (loss). As a result of the cumulative effect of the factors described above, our net loss was $328,927 for the six months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to net income of $284,630 for the six months ended June 30, 2022. Management continues to look for opportunities to increase sales, improve gross margins and control ongoing operating expenses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, our current assets exceeded current liabilities by $1,893,317 and $2,179,237, respectively, and we had cash and cash equivalents of $1,408,758 and $1,381,927, respectively. To date, we have financed our operations primarily through revenue generated from operations, cash proceeds from financing activities, borrowings, and equity contributions by our shareholders.

Summary of Cash Flow

The following table provides detailed information about our net cash flow for the period indicated:

Net cash provided by operating activities was $26,831 for the six months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to net cash used in operating activities of $226,170 for the six months ended June 30, 2022. Significant factors affecting operating cash flows were primarily a result of increased customer deposits, accounts payable and accrued expense payments, and inventory purchases, offset by decreased accounts receivable and net income during the six months ended June 30, 2023.

We continue working to enhance our on-line ordering system to increase sales, develop the market for our ultra-low temperature freezers, work with current vendors to obtain more favorable pricing, and locate new vendors to provide opportunities to further reduce our cost of goods.

We will continue to focus our efforts on our core business activities while pursuing capital resources and evaluating potential future acquisitions which fit within and enhance our core business.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
