Cole, Inc. (the Company) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Utah on November 3, 1999. The Company was organized to engage in any lawful activity for which corporations may be organized under the Utah Revised Business Corporation Act. On December 30, 2003 the Company changed its name to Reflect Scientific, Inc.
Reflect Scientific designs, develops and sells scientific equipment for the Life Science and Manufacturing industries. The Company’s business activities include the manufacture and distribution of unique laboratory consumables and disposables such as filtration and purification products, customized sample handling vials, electronic wiring assemblies, high temperature silicone, graphite and vespel/graphite sealing components for use by original equipment manufacturers (“OEM”) in the chemical analysis industries, primarily in the field of gas/liquid chromatography.
The Company’s chemical detector products serve the analytical instrumentation sector of the Life Sciences market. These optically based chemical detection instruments provide a cost-effective, high-performance alternative for original equipment manufacturers (OEM). One major use for these detectors is the analysis of whole blood for metabolic diseases.
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION: The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Reflect Scientific, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Cryometrix and Julie Martin Scientific Technology. Intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.
NOTE 2—RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
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: Revenue is only recognized on product sales once the product has been shipped to the customer, persuasive evidence of an agreement exists, the price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. The Company sells its products in bothconsiders the USapplicability and internationally through direct sales and independent distributors.
ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE: Accounts receivables are presented netimpact 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 September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company had accounts receivable, net of the allowance, of $206,000 and $73,424, respectively. At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 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 September 30, 2017, inventory was made up of $254,258 of finished goods, less an allowance for obsolescence of $22,652. At December 31, 2016, inventory was comprised of $249,619 of finished goods, less an allowance for obsolescence of $22,652. 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, 2016.
GOODWILL: Goodwill represents the excess of the Company’s acquisition cost over the fair value of net assets of the acquisition. Goodwill is not amortized, but is tested for impairment annually, or when a
triggering event occurs. As described in ACS 360, the Company has adopted the two step goodwill impairment analysis that includes quantitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test. A fair-value-based test is applied at the overall Company level. The test compares the estimated fair value of the Company at the date of the analysis to the carrying value of its net assets. The analysis also requires various judgments and estimates, including general and macroeconomic conditions, industry and the Company’s targeted market conditions, as well as relevant entity-specific events, such as a change in the market for the Company’s products and services. After considering the qualitative factors that would indicate a need for interim impairment of goodwill and applying the two-step process described in ASC 360, management has determined that the value of Company’s assets is not more likely than not less than the carrying value of the Company including goodwill, and that no impairment charge needs be recognized during the reporting periods.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSE - The Company accounts for research and development costs in accordance with the Financialall Accounting Standards Board's Accounting Standard Codification Topic 730 “Research and Development". Under ASC 730, all research and development costs must be charged to expense as incurred. Accordingly, internal research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Third-party research and developments costs are expensed when the contracted work has been performed or as milestone results have been achieved. Company-sponsored research and development costs related to both present and future products are expensed in the period incurred.
EARNINGS PER SHARE: The computation of basic earnings per share of common stock is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted-average number of common shares and dilutive common stock equivalents during the period. Common stock equivalents are not used in calculating dilutive EPS when their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. At September 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company had no common stock equivalents.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS: In May 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB"Updates (“ASUs”) issued ASU No. 2017-09, "Stock Compensation - Scope of Modification Accounting". This ASU requires all modifications to be accounted for as a modification unless the fair value, vesting conditions and classification of the award as equity or liability are the same as the classification of the original award immediately before the original award is modified. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 and for interim periods therein. The Company does not believe this ASU will have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operation or cash flows.
In February 2016,by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-02, “Leases.” This ASU requires lessees to put most leases on their balance sheets but recognize expenses in the income statement in a manner similar to current accounting treatment. This ASU changes the guidance on sale-leaseback transactions, initial direct costs and lease execution costs, and, for lessors, modifies the classification criteria and the accounting for sales-type and direct financing leases. For public business entities, this ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods therein. Entities are required to use a modified retrospective approach for leases that exist or are entered into after the beginning of the earliest comparative period in the financial
statements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its financial statements and disclosures.
In August 2015, the ASB issued ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customer (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date. This ASU defers the effective date of ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customer (Topic 606) for all entities by one year. As a result, all entities will be required to apply the provisions of ASU 2014-09 to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. The Company is currently assessing the adoption date and impact the guidance in this ASU will have, if any, on our consolidated results of operations, cash flows, or financial position.
The Company has reviewedevaluated all other recently issued, but not yet adopted,recent accounting standards in orderpronouncements and determined that the adoption of pronouncements applicable to determine their effects, if any, on its consolidated results of operation, financial position and cash flows. Based on that review, the Company believes that none of these pronouncements willhas not had or is not expected to have a significant effectmaterial impact on its current or future earnings or operations.the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.

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 performance.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 canis 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 no assurance however,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

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 management’s expectationscould 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 necessarily comeimpact our business, operations and financial results.
The pandemic has impacted and may continue to pass. Factorsimpact 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 affect forward- looking statements include a wide rangeemerge concerning the severity of factors that could materially affectthe pandemic and steps taken to contain the pandemic or treat its impact, among others.

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 the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts reported in the unaudited Financial Statementsof assets, liabilities, revenues and accompanying notes. Management bases itsexpenses, 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 couldmay differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The Company believes there have been no significant changes duringestimates.
For a description of the nine month period ended September 30, 2017, to the items disclosed as significant accounting policies that, in management's Notes tomanagement’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 StatementsCondition and Results of Operations – Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” in the Company'sour Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016.2022 filed with the SEC on March 31, 2023.

Revenues increased during the quarter ended September 30, 2017, to $325,870 from $214,404 for the quarter ended September 30, 2016, an increase of $111,466. The increase results primarily from the sale of ultra-low temperature freezers which generated revenue of $106,400 in 2017 but no revenue in 2016. We are continuing work to increase our market penetration in the ultra-low temperature freezer market.
Cost of goods increased in the quarter ending September 30, 2017, as compared to September 30, 2016, to $84,636 from $74,581, an increase of $10,055. The small cost of goods increase, in comparison to the increase in revenue, is attributable to the sale of ultra-low temperature freezers, which carry higher margins than the specialty laboratory products. We realized a gross profit percentage of 74%$241,127 for the three months ended September 30, 2017, compared to 65%March 31, 2023 from $753,576 for the three months ended September 30, 2016.March 31, 2022. The gross profit percentage is dependent on the mixchange was primarily due to a significant decrease in freezer and chiller sales and ongoing supply chain delays with manufacturers.

Cost of product sales, which varies from quartergoods sold. Cost of good sold decreased by $120,656, or 51.5%, 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 decreased to $182,177 in the three months ended September 30, 2017, a decrease of $7,511 over the expenses of $189,688 incurred in the three month period ended September 30, 2016.
