They do not include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The December 31, 20212022, consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements but dodoes not include all disclosures required by GAAP. However, except as disclosed herein, there has been no material change in the information disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 20212022, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 31, 2022.2023.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements, consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments, have been made. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 20222023, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022.2023.

NOTE 2—RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

The Company considers the applicability and impact of all Accounting Standards Updates (“ASUs”) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). ASUs not listed below were assessedThe Company has evaluated all recent accounting pronouncements and determined that the adoption of pronouncements applicable to be eitherthe Company has not applicablehad or areis not expected to have minimala material impact on the Company’sCompany's condensed consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13 Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which requires the measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held at amortized cost. ASU 2016-13 replaces the existing incurred loss impairment model with an expected loss methodology, which will result in more timely recognition of credit losses. ASU 2016-13 is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2019. This pronouncement was amended under ASU 2019-10 to allow an extension on the adoption date for entities that qualify as a small reporting company. The Company has elected this extension and the effective date for the Company to adopt this standard will be for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company has not completed its assessment of the standard but does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08 Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers. This ASU amends ASC 805 to require acquiring entities to apply ASC 606 to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities in business combinations. The ASU is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. This ASU should be applied prospectively to acquisitions occurring on or after the effective date of December 15, 2022, and early adoption is permitted. The Company has not completed its assessment of the standard but does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on our 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 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, 20212022 filed with the SEC on March 31, 2022.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022,2023, there were no significant changes in our accounting policies and estimates.
