On June 29, 2007, we completed the sale of $2,500,000 of debentures.  See our 8-K Current Report dated July 2, 2008, and is incorporated herein by reference.  See Part III, Item 13.


Business


Overview


Reflect Scientific is engaged in the manufacture and distribution of innovative products targeted at the life science market. Our customers include hospitals and diagnostic laboratories, pharmaceutical and biotech companies, universities, government and private sector research facilities, and 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 in 2006 and 2007, we now offer a greatly expanded line of products that take advantage of market needs. Our growing product portfolio includes ultra low temperature freezers and chemical detectors, in addition to supplying OEM products to the life science industry.


Our Visacon brand chemical detectors provide our OEM customers a cost effective detection product that allows them to extend their markets. Detectors use patented optical detection technologies that can be tailored for pharmaceutical, biotechnology or other life science applications.  


Our Cryometrix brand ultra low temperature freezers innovative design enables our customers to save substantially on energy costs related to cryogenic storage. Ultra low temperature freezers are used world-wide for the storage of vaccines, DNA, RNA, proteins and many other biological and chemical samples. There is a growing need for energy efficient, reliable ultra low temperature storage units.  We will continue to expand into this growing market with the Cryometrix freezer.  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 to reefers eliminates the current method of cooling, which uses engines run on hydrocarbon fuels.  The Cryometrix technology is pollutant free and is more cost effective and efficient than technologies currently being used.


Products


Reflect Scientific designs, develops and sells scientific equipment for the Life Science and Manufacturing industries.  Since our wholly owned subsidiary, Reflect Scientific’s, organization in 1991, our focus is and has been on providing value added products, analytic testing equipment and stand alone products for the life science and industrial market place.  Reflect Scientific’s products range from non-mechanical Cyrometrix™ freezers, products and parts for life science industry to tools and analytical services for industrial manufacturing.




5




All of Reflect Scientific’s products and services are developed with one key factor in mind:  Do they provide a superior cost/benefit to the customer than other products in the same market space.  With years of experience in the life science and industrial manufacturing markets, Reflect Scientific has been able to develop not only unique patentable products, but products that we believe offer immediate advantages and cost savings over any other competing and existing products on the market.


We have developed a business model with a focus on intellectual expertise in design and development of products and solutions for life science and industrial manufacturing industries.  We outsource the majority of our manufacturing, allowing us to maintain the flexibility to develop products across multiple lines and industries.  Our strength is in providing products which we believe offer immediate, verifiable, cost saving solutions.  


We have found many companies that can manufacture products to our specification, allowing us to focus on our core competencies of development and design and maintain a flexible corporate structure capable of taking advantage of new opportunities without the large capital investment required to acquire tooling and manufacturing equipment.  This focus on the intellectual expertise as opposed to manufacturing of products also allows us to develop products along multiple industry lines and to tailor our products to specific needs in a variety of industrial settings.  Our products are sold in the biotechnology, pharmaceutical and medical industries, as well as the manufacturing industries such as automotive.


Cryometrix Freezers


Our Cryometrix ultra low temperature freezers are, we believe, a technological breakthrough that provides energy savings and other critically important benefits to cryo-storage customers in the Life Science related industries.  Ultra low temperature freezers are used in multiple industries for the storage of everything from blood to cancer vaccines.  These freezers are used by companies and organizations such as the Red Cross, hospitals and biotechnology research facilities.  


The only ultra low temperature freezers currently available are produced by a limited number of companies and rely on a mechanical process for cooling.  Because of inadequacies in the mechanical process, we believe there is wastage of inventory each year because of the problems of proper cooling found in the mechanical freezers.  


Our freezers are a complete divergence from the current technology used in ultra low temperature freezers.  Through the advantages of our technology, we believe our freezers solve the current inadequacies and provide immediate cost savings for our clients.   Current cryogenic storage equipment falls short of customer expectations in a variety of key performance criteria.

§

High energy usage – a growing problem with rising energy costs

§

Inflexible temperature range – existing units cannot be easily modified for colder requirements (colder temperatures are an industry trend)

§

Sample inventory is at risk in the event of a power failure

§

Poor temperature uniformity –samples in different areas of the freezer can experience wide variations in temperatures which is undesirable from a regulatory standpoint.

Our Cryometrix ultra low temperature freezer uses a new patented design which is powered by liquid nitrogen. Through the use of a liquid nitrogen powered freezer system we are able to address the market need for:

§

Low energy requirements

§

Flexible temperature control – wide range of usable temperatures

§

Power failures have little effect - uses passive liquid nitrogen technology rather than electrically powered compressors.

§

Uniform temperatures throughout freezer – more usable storage volume

§

Much larger storage volume per area of floor space occupied – reduced facilities cost

§

Reliable and essentially maintenance free; further lowering cost of ownership

We believe existing freezers are outdated and our freezers will be the desired technology to which the industry will move, providing us the opportunity to gain a significant market share in this large market.


The adaptation of the freezer technology to refrigeration systems used on trailers (“reefers”) for transporting perishable items opens a significant new market.  Trailers can easily be retrofit with the Cryogenix unit, which provides pollutant free and more efficient operations at a cost savings compared to the diesel powered units currently used.  The reefer market is a $1 billion market.  The non-polluting Cryogenix unit provides significant benefits over any other unit currently marketed.

Detectors


Our 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.


Companies that manufacture beneficial chemicals or biotechnology products are often required to develop a methodology to detect their presence in the environment or in living tissue. Recent market trends have been toward the creation of a dedicated system that is specific for a particular chemical.  As the market expands for dedicated instrumentation, certain critical issues arise.

§

Lack of high quality, high performance OEM instrumentation - large instrument manufacturers sell the service/instrument combination only under their own brand name

§

High price points - instrument company structure does not allow value pricing

Our products provide the building blocks to create such a system. Patented technology provides an array of benefits to the OEM customer.

§

High performance instrumentation - meets or exceeds industry standards for chemical detection

§

Technological breakthroughs provide cost-effective detection instrument solutions

§

Versatile configurations allow tailoring to specific customer need without the necessity for expensive custom engineering

§

Certified by various regulatory agencies for sale worldwide

With the expanding focus on the need for detectors we designed a base system that can be tooled for multiple uses offering flexibility to our customers.  We intend to further penetrate the dedicated OEM instrument market through new product development and continued cost reductions in manufacturing to meet price points.


Reflect Scientific is also poised to provide consumables to the same group of customers that purchase detectors. This one stop shopping is very attractive to customers and is unique in the OEM supply industry, further making Reflect Scientific the choice for OEMs.


Inspection and Testing Equipment


Our inspection and testing equipment product lines were sold effective March 2, 2010.  See Footnote 18 – Subsequent Events to the financial statements.


Competition


The environment for our products and services is intensely competitive. Although the complexity of the products we produce limits the number of companies we compete with, the companies with competing technology are generally larger and often subsidiaries or divisions of very large multinational companies.  Our competitors size and association with large multinational companies gives them advantages over us in the ability to access potential customers.  Many potential customers already purchase products either directly from our competitors or from another subsidiary of these large multinational companies, creating natural inroads to sales that we do not possess.  


Given our relative size verses our competitors, we often have to seek niche markets for our products or focus on selling components to be used in our competitors larger detection units.  We believe, however, that our technology and experience in the ultra low freezers and detectors allows us to be competitive in those markets.  However, since our products are new to the marketplace, the products long term commercial acceptance is still unknown.  Most of our products compete against multiple competitors, with our refrigeration products competing primarily against Thermo Fisher Scientific and Sanyo Corporation.


Growth Plan


We continue to evaluate acquisitions of businesses and technologies to enhance our revenues in the Life Science and green technology markets.  In addition to organic growth with our existing product lines we will continue to research and investigate acquisitions which match our core commitment in order to grow our Company and enhance shareholder value.


We intend to seek to expand the applications for our products and equipment into additional markets as we develop brand recognition.  We hope to be able to leverage off of our existing products and name recognition as we continue forward using



7




our existing offerings and product strength to position us as a key supplier of automation equipment, inspection equipment and cryogenic storage solutions.  This strategic plan will also allow for further diversification of our customer base.


Manufacturing, Supplies, and Quality Control


Many of our products are manufactured by third party manufactures, including our ultra low temperature freezers. We believe by outsourcing our manufacturing we are able to reduce the overall cost of our products.  We do manufacture some products which are less labor and parts intensive in our facility in Orem, Utah.  


Regulation and Environmental Compliance


Presently, none of our products are in highly regulated industries.


Sources and Availability of Raw Materials and Names of Principal Suppliers


Sources and availability of key materials and intermediates continue to remain stable. Where supply is considered a critical success factor for our business, we have certified vendors in place.


Dependence on One or a Few Major Customers


We are not dependent on any large customer.


Need for any Governmental Approval of Principal Products or Services


No products presently being manufactured or sold by us are subject to prior governmental approvals.


Effect of Existing or Probable Governmental Regulations on the Business


The integrated disclosure system for small business issuers adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission in Release No. 34-30968 and effective as of August 13, 1992, substantially modified the information and financial requirements of a “Small Business Issuer,” defined to be an issuer that has revenues of less than $25 million; is a U.S. or Canadian issuer, is not an investment company, and if a majority-owned subsidiary, the parent is also a small business issuer.  We are a “small business issuer.”


The Securities and Exchange Commission, state securities commissions and the North American Securities Administrators Association, Inc. (“NASAA”) have expressed an interest in adopting policies that will streamline the registration process and make it easier for a small business issuer to have access to the public capital markets.


We are also subject to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. This Act creates a strong and independent accounting oversight board to oversee the conduct of auditors of public companies and strengthens auditor independence. It also requires steps to enhance the direct responsibility of senior members of management for financial reporting and for the quality of financial disclosures made by public companies; establishes clear statutory rules to limit, and to expose to public view, possible conflicts of interest affecting securities analysts; creates guidelines for audit committee members appointment, compensation and oversight of the work of public companies auditors; prohibits certain insider trading during pension fund blackout periods; and establishes a federal crime of securities fraud, among other provisions.


Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act requires all companies with securities registered pursuant to Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act to comply with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission regarding proxy solicitations, as outlined in Regulation 14A. Matters submitted to stockholders of our Company at a special or annual meeting thereof or pursuant to a written consent will require our Company to provide our stockholders with the information outlined in Schedules 14A or 14C of Regulation 14; preliminary copies of this information must be submitted to the Securities and Exchange Commission at least 10 days prior to the date that definitive copies of this information are forwarded to our stockholders.


We are also required to file annual reports on Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q with the Securities Exchange Commission on a regular basis, and will be required to timely disclose certain material events (e.g., changes in corporate control; acquisitions or dispositions of a significant amount of assets other than in the ordinary course of business; and bankruptcy) in a Current Report on Form 8-K.

Patent 7,283,224 is included in the assignment of assets and liabilities related to the divestiture of Image Labs and Miralogix. See Footnote 18 – Subsequent Events to the financial statements.


Royalty agreements were executed with JMST, Cryometrix, All Temp and Image Labs as a condition of the companies’ acquisitions. Under the terms of the royalty agreements:


JMST – David Carver will receive a royalty payment on gross revenues related to revenues derived from the Carver Patents or Carver Technology.  Such payments are due on revenue in excess of $500,000 derived from products under the Carver Patents or Carver Technology.  The royalty payment is 2.5% on the revenue in excess of $500,000 and is payable quarterly.  Payments are to be made in Reflect Scientific’s common stock not to exceed 500,000 shares in total. New products developed from the Carver Technology are subject to a royalty of 3% of gross revenues in excess of $100,000, with an additional 2% if gross revenues exceed $600,000. Royalties will also be paid in our common stock annually.  Common stock will be valued at $3.00 per share for these purposes.  Royalty payments are only due for years where there are valid Carver Patents.


Cryometrix – The prior shareholders of Cryometrix receive a 2.5% royalty on all sales, licensing or other distributions on revenue derived from products and technology received from Cryometrix.  The royalty payment is not due or payable unless and until the revenue derived from such products and technology exceeds $3,000,000.  The payment is payable in shares of Reflect Scientific’s common stock not to exceed 2,000,000 shares in aggregate. Common stock will be valued at $1.80 or market value at time of accrual which ever is greater, for these purposes.   Payments are due quarterly.




9




All Temp – The shareholders of All Temp will receive a pro-rata running royalty totaling 5% of the gross annual revenues earned from the All Temp’s business unit.  This revenue covers all revenues received by the All Temp subsidiary or any other business unit of Reflect Scientific which revenue is derived from products or services derived from All Temp as part of its acquisition.  The royalty is payable as long as Reflect Scientific owns and operates the All Temp business provided that the royalty is not payable if the All Temp business does not have earnings of at least 10% measured by earnings before interest and taxes.  The royalty is payable quarterly within 45 days following the close of each quarter. If within three years of the closing of the acquisition of All Temp, Reflect Scientific sells or transfers All Temp, its products or services, All Temp shareholders shall receive a cash payment of six hundred thousand dollars less any accumulated royalties payable.


Image Labs – The shareholders of Image Labs will receive a running earnout on the gross revenues derived from products associated with Image Labs including value added re-sales and custom engineering business segments.  The earnout is established as 1.25% of all gross revenues and an additional 1.25% of all revenues if the company achieves EBIT of 10%.  This segment specifically excludes anything received from our Catpro product lines. The royalty is payable quarterly so long as Reflect Scientific owns the Image Labs’ product line and services and as long as the business segment achieves an earnings before interest and taxes of 10% in the quarter the royalty payments are due.  The royalty lasts for the life of the Image Labs’ shareholders.


Research and Development Costs During the Last Two Fiscal Years


During the year ended December 31, 2009, we expended $307,433 for research and development.  During the year ended December 31, 2008, we expended $297,402 for research and development.  The majority of the research and development on our products was completed by the companies we purchased prior to our acquisition of those companies.  We expect research and development cost to increase in the future with our ownership of the new companies and product lines.


Employees

 

As of March 30, 2010, subsequent to the balance sheet date, we had 5 employees on a full-time basis and 4 part time employees. None of our employees are represented under a collective bargaining agreement. We believe our relations with our employees to be good.

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities


On June 29, 2008, Reflect Scientific pursuant to the securities purchase agreement sold to five institutional investors convertible debentures in the aggregate principal amount of $2,500,000 and stock purchase warrants exercisable over a five year period for 3,846,154 shares of common stock (the “Warrants”) in a private placement.  All purchasers are “accredited investors” and a form D was filed covering this transaction.


We issued all of these securities to persons who were “accredited investors” or “sophisticated investors” as those terms are defined in Regulation D of the Securities and Exchange Commission; and each such investor had prior access to all material information about us. We believe that the offer and sale of these securities were exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, pursuant to Sections 4(2) and 4(6) thereof, and Rule 506 of Regulation D of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Sales to “accredited investors” are preempted from state regulation.


During the year ended December 31, 2009, we issued a net of 719,040 shares of common stock.  Of this amount, 320,450 shares were issued in payment of interest on our debentures, 273,590 shares were issued in the conversion of debentures, 600,000 shares were issued for consulting services, and 25,000 shares were issued to a former employee, for a total of 1,219,040 shares issued.  An original shareholder of All Temp Engineering returned 500,000 shares of stock issued to him in the All Temp acquisition transaction, which shares were cancelled, resulting in the net new issuance of 719,040 shares in 2009.


During the year ended December 31, 2008, 402,072 shares of common stock were issued.  Of that total amount, 212,307 shares were issued for the conversion of debentures and 189,765 shares were issued in payment of interest to the debenture holders.


Use of Proceeds of Registered Securities


There were no proceeds received during the calendar year ended December 31, 2009, from the sale of registered securities.


Purchases of Equity Securities by Us and Affiliated Purchasers


There were no purchases of our equity securities by us or any of our affiliates during the year ended December 31, 2009.  


Item 6. Select Financial Data

 

As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide information under this item.


Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation


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."


The following discussion and analysis provides information which management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of our results of operations and financial condition.  The discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes included in this report as Part II, Item 8.


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 Condensed Consolidated 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.  Reflect Scientific believes there have been no significant changes during the year ended December 31, 2009.


Reflect Scientific’s accounting policies are more fully described in Note 1 of the consolidated financial statements.  As discussed in Note 1, 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 about the future



12




events that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.  Actual differences could differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.  Reflect Scientific believes that the following addresses Reflect Scientific’s most critical accounting policies.


We recognize revenue in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, “Revenue Recognition” (“SAB 104”).  Under SAB 104, revenue is recognized at the point of passage to the customer of title and risk of loss, when there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, the sales price is determinable, and collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured.  We recognize revenue as services are provided with specific long lead time orders.


Our allowance for doubtful accounts is maintained to provide for losses arising from customers’ inability to make required payments.  If there is deterioration of our customers’ credit worthiness and/or there is an increase in the length of time that the receivables are past due greater than the historical assumptions used, additional allowances may be required.


We account for income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Codification (ASC) 740, “Income Taxes”.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.  Deferred tax assets will be reflected on the balance sheet when it is determined that it is more likely than not that the asset will be realized.


Overview


The year ended December 31, 2009 has been a difficult year for the Company.  Historically, significant portions of our revenue come from the manufacture and sale of capital equipment purchased by our customers.  The economic climate the past year has caused many of these customers to defer, significantly reduce, or eliminate altogether their capital budget spending.  The reduced level of capital spending has had a significant impact on our sales for 2009.  Capital markets have also been tight, with the result that we were unable to secure funding with which to retire our debentures which matured June 30, 2009, and we are currently in default on that indebtedness.  Due to the historical losses and the default status on our debentures, our accountants have expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.


The Company has been proactive in making those business decisions which it believes will enable it to carry out its business plan.  Significant cost reduction measures have been implemented, facilities consolidated and personnel reductions made.  We have reached a settlement agreement with the majority holder of our debentures whereby, upon the payment of a portion of the principal, the remaining principal and penalty amount will be converted into common stock of the company.  Our ability to execute this agreement is dependent upon the obtaining of additional funding at terms that are acceptable.  While we have confidence that we will obtain the required financing, we cannot assure you that it will be made available.  If we are unable to secure financing, our ability to proceed with and implement our intended business plan will be negatively impacted.

We had $165,633 in cash as of December 31, 2009, a decrease of $281,404 from December 31, 2008.  We had a working capital deficit of $2,619,541 at December 31, 2009, compared to positive working capital of $263,279.  This change results from the re-classification of the debentures from a long-term liability to a current liability.

$(2,164,396)

$(2,715,082)


Revenue saw a significant reduction for the period ended December 31, 2009 as compared to December 31, 2008.  A significant part of our sales come from the manufacture and installation of capital equipment.  With the downturn in the economy, many companies have elected to defer or cancel capital investments until the economy recovers.  


Our cost of goods decreased in the period ending December 31, 2009, as compared to December 31, 2008, due primarily to the reduced levels of sales.  The percentage on gross margins decreased to 39% in 2009, a 15% decrease over the 54% margins realized in 2008.  Our gross margin percent is heavily influenced by the sales mix.  Also, some of the allocated costs related to cost of sales are fixed costs and are not sales volume dependent.


In the early part of 2009, significant investment was made in sales personnel to increase awareness of our products and generate additional sales.  When it became apparent that the business climate would not support the hoped for sales increases, reductions were made, which will reduce salaries in future periods reported.  Management made the decision to scale back the refrigeration service business, using contractors rather than maintaining employees, service vehicles, and the related expenses.  Savings realized from this change will be reflected in future periods.  


General and administrative expenses decreased to $2,032,636 during the year ended December 31, 2009, from $2,998,008 during the year ended December 31, 2008. This reduction results in part from efficiency measures implemented by management during 2009.  Expense reductions continue to be made, and it is anticipated that the expense level in future periods will continue to decline as we make our operations more efficient and cost effective.

 

The net loss of $4,881,878 for the year ended December 31, 2009 contains the following one-time expenses:




14




Penalty on debenture default

$   690,000

Impairment of long-lived asset charges

     708,265

Stock-based compensation charges

      422,804


Total

$1,821,069


The recording of these charges made a significant impact on the results for the year ended December 31, 2009, and make it difficult to compare the 2009 results against the prior year.


Seasonality and Cyclicality


We do not believe our business is cyclical.


Liquidity and Capital Resources


Our cash resources at December 31, 2009, were $165,633, with accounts receivable of $522,921 and inventory of $591,672. We have relied on revenues and sales of equity and debt securities for cash resources.   As a result of the decreases in cash, accounts receivables, and inventories, coupled with increases in accounts payable , interest payable, and the penalty on the debenture default, we had negative working capital of $2,619,541 at December 31, 2009.  This compares to positive working capital of $263,279 at December 31, 2008.  


In 2009, net cash used by operating activities was $275,130 in cash as compared to $286,105 in 2008.  We are hopeful that in 2010, with the raising of additional capital and the benefit of continued cost reductions, we will be able to further reduce our cash requirements.


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

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements


We lease office and warehouse space under non-cancelable operating leases in both Utah and Montana.  Future minimum lease payments under the operating lease at December 31, 2009 are $260,717 for the Utah facility and $190,339 for the Montana facility.  In addition, we have an automobile lease with future minimum lease payments of $5,825.

Item 9.  Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.


We had no disagreements on accounting and financial disclosures with our accounting firm during the reporting periods covered by this Annual Report.


Item 9A(T). Controls and Procedures


As of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report, we conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”). Based on 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 President 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.

     Management’s Annual Report on 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). Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

 


Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009.  In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control - Integrated Framework.  Based on this evaluation, our management concluded that, as of December 31, 2009, our internal control over financial reporting was effective.


     Inherent Limitations Over Internal Controls


Internal control over financial reporting cannot provide absolute assurance of achieving financial reporting objectives because of its inherent limitations, including the possibility of human error and circumvention by collusion or overriding of controls.  Accordingly, even an effective internal control system may not prevent or detect material misstatements on a timely basis.  Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.


     Changes in internal control over financial reporting


We have made no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the last fiscal year that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.


     Attestation Report of the Registered Public Accounting Firm


This annual report does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.  Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only management’s report in this annual report on Form 10-K.


Item 9(B).  Other Information.


    None; not applicable.

Significant Employees

     

There are no employees who are not executive officers who are expected to make a significant contribution to our Company’s business.


Family Relationships


There are no family relationships between our officers and directors.


Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings


During the past five years, no director, person nominated to become a director, executive officer, promoter or control person of our Company:


(1) was a general partner or executive officer of any business against which any bankruptcy petition was filed, either at the time of the bankruptcy or two years prior to that time;


(2) was convicted in a criminal proceeding or named subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses);


(3) was subject to any order, judgment or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent



17




jurisdiction, permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting his involvement in any type of business, securities or banking activities; or


(4) was found by a court of competent jurisdiction (in a civil action), the Securities and Exchange Commission or the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law, and the judgment has not been reversed, suspended or vacated.


Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act


Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires that our executive officers and directors and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of our common stock, file initial reports of stock ownership and reports of changes in stock ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Officers, directors, and greater than 10% owners are required by applicable regulations to furnish our Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms that they file.


Based solely on a review of the copies of such forms furnished to us or written representations from certain persons, we believe that during our calendar year ended December 31, 2009, all filing requirements applicable to our officers, directors and 10% stockholders were met by such persons.


Code of Ethics


We have adopted a Code of Ethics that applies to all of our directors and executive officers serving in any capacity for our Company, including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller or persons performing similar functions, which Code of Ethics was attached to our Form 10-K annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2003.

Nominating Committee


We have not established a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee because we believe that the three members currently comprising our Board of Directors are able to effectively manage the issues normally considered by a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.


Audit Committee


Due to the size and status of our Company we have no Audit Committee, and are not required to have an audit committee.  We do not believe the lack of an Audit Committee will have any adverse effect on our financial statements, based upon our current operations. We will assess whether an audit committee may be necessary in the future.

Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management


Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners


The following table sets forth, as of March 30, 2010, the names, addresses and number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by all persons known to the management of Reflect Scientific to be beneficial owners of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of common stock, and the names and number of shares beneficially owned by all directors of Reflect Scientific and all executive officers and directors of Reflect Scientific as a group (except as indicated, each beneficial owner listed exercises sole voting power and sole dispositive power over the shares beneficially owned).  


For purposes of this table, information as to the beneficial ownership of shares of common stock is determined in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and includes general voting power and/or investment power with respect to securities. Except as otherwise indicated, all shares of our common stock are beneficially owned, and sole investment and voting power is held, by the person named. For purposes of this table, a person or group of persons is deemed to have "beneficial ownership" of any shares of common stock, which such person has the right to acquire within 60 days after the date hereof. The inclusion herein of such shares listed beneficially owned does not constitute an admission of beneficial ownership.


All percentages are calculated based upon a total number of 35,221,650 shares of common stock outstanding as of March 30, 2010, plus, in the case of the individual or entity for which the calculation is made, that number of options or warrants owned by such individual or entity that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM




Board of Directors and Shareholders of

Reflect Scientific, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Orem, Utah


We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Reflect Scientific, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholder’s equity and cash flows for the years then ended.  These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.


We conducted our audit in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement.  The Company has determined that it is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.  Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purposes of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.


In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Reflect Scientific, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.


The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.  As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company has experienced recurring losses from operations and negative operating cash flows from operations.  The Company is in default on its debentures.  These factors raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.  Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 3.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

REFLECT SCIENTIFIC, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2009 and 2008


NOTE 1 -

ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION 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


Reflect Scientific designs, develops and sells scientific equipment for the Life Science and Manufacturing industries. Our 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.

 

Cryometrix


The Company’s Cryometrix ultra low temperature freezers are a technological breakthrough that provide energy savings and other critically important benefits to cryo-storage customers in the Life Science related industries.  Ultra low temperature freezers are used in multiple industries for the storage of everything from blood to cancer vaccines.  These freezers are used by companies and organizations such as the Red Cross, hospitals and biotechnology research facilities.  The adaptation of the freezer technology to refrigeration systems used on trailers (“reefers”) for transporting perishable items opens a significant new market.  Trailers can easily be retrofit with the Cryogenix unit, which provides pollutant free and more efficient operations at a cost savings compared to the diesel powered units currently used.  The reefer market is a $1 billion market.  The non-polluting Cryogenix unit provides significant benefits over any other unit currently marketed.


Inspection and Testing Equipment

 

Image Labs and Miralogix, the companies that manufactured and sold inspection and testing equipment, was divested effective March 2, 2010.  See Footnote 18.

 

NOTE 2 -

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


a. Accounting Method


The Company’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.  The Company has elected a December 31 year-end.


b. Revenue Recognition


Revenue is only recognized on product sales once the product has been shipped to the customers, persuasive evidence of an agreement exists, delivery has occurred, the price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured.




33




The Company also recognizes revenue on long-term contracts using the percentage-of-completion method. We generally recognize revenue using the percentage-of-completion method for original equipment that requires a minimum of six months to produce. When using the percentage-of-completion method, sales and gross profit are recognized as work is performed based on the relationship between actual costs incurred and total estimated costs at completion. Estimated losses are recognized in full when identified.  The asset “costs and estimated earnings in excess of contract billings on uncompleted contracts” represents revenues recognized in excess of amounts billed.  The liability, “contract billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts,” represents billings in excess of revenues recognized.


c. Estimates


The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.


d. Cash and Cash Equivalents


The company considers all deposit accounts and investment accounts with a maturity of 90 days or less to be cash equivalents.  


e. Accounts Receivable


The Company writes off trade receivables when deemed uncollectible.  The Company estimates allowance for doubtful accounts based on the aged receivable balances and historical losses.  The Company charges off uncollectible accounts when management determines there is no possibility of collecting the related receivable. The Company considers accounts receivable to be past due or delinquent based on contractual terms, which is generally net 30 days.


The Company charged $30,980 and $2,433 to bad debt expense for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The allowance for doubtful accounts balance at December 31, 2009 and 2008 was $80,161.


f. Fixed Assets


Fixed assets are stated at cost.  Expenditure for minor repairs, maintenance, and replacement parts which do not increase the useful lives of the assets are charged to expense as incurred.  All major additions and improvements are capitalized.  Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method.  The lives over which the fixed assets are depreciated range from 5 to 7 years, except for computer equipment, which is depreciated over a 3 year life.  


g. Inventory


Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value based upon the First-In First-Out (FIFO) inventory method.  The Company’s inventory consists of parts for scientific vial kits, refrigerant gases, components for the imaging and inspection systems which it builds, and other scientific items.


h. Advertising Expense


The Company follows the policy of charging the costs of advertising to expense as incurred.  The Company recognized $5,377 and $62,330 of advertising expense during the years ended December 31, 2009, and 2008, respectively.


 



34




i. Newly Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

On July 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (the “Codification”) officially became the single source of authoritative nongovernmental U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), superseding existing FASB, American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, Emerging Issues Task Force, and related accounting literature.  Going forward, only one level of authoritative GAAP will exist.  All other accounting literature will be considered non-authoritative.  The Codification reorganizes the thousands of GAAP pronouncements into roughly 90 accounting topics and displays them using a consistent structure.   Also included in the Codification is relevant SEC guidance organized using the same topical structure in separate sections within the Codification.  The Codification was effective for interim and annual reports ending after September 15, 2009.  The Company adopted the Codification during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009.  The impact on its financial statements is limited to disclosures.  All references to authoritative accounting literature will now be referenced in accordance with the Codification.

ASC Topic 855 (Formerly SFAS 165) – In May 2009, the FASB issued ASC Topic 855, Subsequent Events. ASC Topic 855 establishes standards of accounting for the disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued.  Financial statements are considered available to be issued when they are complete in a form and format that complies with GAAP and all approvals necessary for issuance have been obtained.  An entity is to apply the requirements to interim or annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009.  The Company adopted the provisions of ASC Topic 855 for the quarter ended September 30,, 2009.  


ASC Topic 860 (Formerly SFAS 166) – In June 2009, the FASB issued ASC Topic 860, Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets – an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140.  ASC Topic 860 requires entities to provide more information about sales of securitized financial assets and similar transactions, particularly if the seller retains some risk to the assets.  The statement eliminates the concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity, changes the requirements for the de-recognition of financial assets, and calls upon sellers of the assets to make additional disclosures about them.  ASC Topic 860 is effective for transactions occurring on or after November 15, 2009.  The Company does not expect the adoption of ASC Topic 860 will have a material impact on its financial statements.


ASC Topic 810 (Formerly SFAS 167) – In June 2009, the FASB issued ASC Topic 810, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R).”  ASC Topic 810 amends Interpretation No. 46(R) to require enhanced disclosures that will provide users of financial statements with more transparent information about an enterprise’s involvement in a variable interest entity.  ASC Topic 810 is effective for an entity’s first fiscal period that begins after November 15, 2009.  The Company does not expect the adoption of ASC Topic 810 will have a material impact on its financial statements.


ASC Topic 105 (Formerly SFAS 168) – In June 2009, the FASB issued ASC Topic 105, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles – a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162.”  ASC Topic 105 establishes a new hierarchy of GAAP sources for non-governmental entities under the FASB Accounting Standards Codification and will supersede all accounting standards in U.S. GAAP, aside from those issued by the Securities Exchange Commission. ASC Topic 105 is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009.  The Company does not expect the adoption of ASC Topic 105 will have a material impact on its financial statements.


In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 200-13, 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,



35




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.  Effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009.  The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact, if any, of this guidance on its 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.


j. Basic Earnings per Share


The computation of earnings per share of common stock is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period of the consolidated financial statements as follows:


 

For the Years Ended

December 31,

As of December 31, 2009 the Company had 14,395,215 shares of outstanding common stock equivalents, but due to the net loss, they were not included in the calculation of the net loss per common share as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.


k. Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs


The Company records all shipping and handling cost in cost of goods sold.

 

l. Income Taxes


Deferred taxes are provided on an asset and liability approach whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax basis.  Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.


The Company’s policy is to recognize potential interest and penalties accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits within income tax expense.  For the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, it did not recognize any interest or penalties in its Statement of Operations, nor did it have any interest or penalties accrued in its Balance Sheet at December 31, 2009 and 2008 relating to unrecognized benefits.


m. Principles of consolidation


The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, which include Cryometrix (previously Cryomastor), All Temp Engineering and Image Labs International.  All subsidiaries are wholly owned.  All material intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.





36




n. Research and development expense

 

The Company accounts for research and development costs in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board's Accounting Standard Codification Topic 730 “Research and Development".  Under ASC730, 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.  The Company had $307,433 and $297,402 in research and product development for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.


o.  Stock Based Compensation


The Company applies the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 718 “Stock Based Compensation” which requires companies to measure all employee stock-based compensation awards using a fair value method and record such expense in their financial statements.  


p.  Intangible Assets


Intangible assets include trademarks, trade secrets, patents, customer lists and goodwill acquired through acquisition of subsidiaries.  The patents have been registered with the United States Patent and Trademarks Office.  The costs of obtaining patents are capitalized as incurred.  Intangibles, except for goodwill, are amortized over their estimated useful lives.  


q.  Impairment


The Company reviews long-lived assets, at least annually, to determine if impairment has occurred and whether the economic benefit of the asset (fair value for assets to be used and fair value less disposal cost of assets to be disposed) is expected to be less than the carrying value.  Triggering events, which signal further analysis, consist of a significant decrease in the asset’s market value, a substantial change in the use of an asset, a significant physical change in the asset, a significant change in the legal or business climate that could affect the asset, an accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected to acquire or construct the asset, or a history of losses that imply continued losses associated with assets used to generate revenue.  The impairment analysis conducted subsequent to year-end recognized that certain long-lived assets were impaired due to changed business conditions and a change in business direction.  As a result of that analysis, an impairment charge of $708,265 and $0 was recorded at December 31, 2009 and 2008 respectively.


NOTE 3   GOING CONCERN


The Company is currently in default on the issued and outstanding debentures.  While the Company is working diligently to secure funding to enable it to retire the debenture obligations, there can be no assurance that such funding will be available.  The Company has also accumulated significant operating losses.  These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.


Management has taken a number of actions to reduce expenses including reductions in personnel, consolidation of facilities, and the downsizing of the unprofitable service and maintenance operations conducted by All Temp Engineering.  Management has reached settlement agreements on the majority of the debentures that are in default, which settlement is contingent upon their ability to pay $400,000 in cash, with the remaining balance being converted into shares of the Company’s restricted common stock. Management is seeking additional funding through the capital markets to facilitate this settlement, as well as to provide operating capital for its operations.  Management has also made the decision to discontinue certain operations (See Footnote 18 – Subsequent Events).  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

39






NOTE 11 -

LINE OF CREDIT


The Company has a credit line with a commercial bank of $100,000 secured by its inventory and accounts receivable bearing a variable interest rate, which was 5.50% as of the balance sheet date, and has no stated maturity date. As of December 31, 2009, there was a balance due on the line in the amount of $93,012.


The Company has an additional credit line with a different commercial bank of $50,000 secured by its inventory and accounts receivable bearing a fixed interest rate, which was 7.75% as of the balance sheet date, and has no stated maturity date. As of December 31, 2009, there was a balance due on the line in the amount of $48,464.


NOTE 12 – CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES AND WARRANTS


On June 29, 2007, the Company entered into an agreement to sell $2,500,000 in 12% senior convertible debentures with a maturity date of June 29, 2009, with interest due quarterly.   At the closing, the Company prepaid the first quarterly interest payment and reserved the second quarterly interest payment of $150,000. The agreement allows for the Company to pay the interest in cash or in duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid, and non-assessable shares of common stock at the interest conversion rate, or a combination thereof. The conversion is based on 85% of the volume weighted average stock price for the preceding 10 days.


The debentures have a conversion price of $0.65.  If the Company, at any time while the debenture is outstanding, pays stock dividends, subdivides outstanding shares, sells or grants any option to purchase or dispose of common stock at an effective price lower than the conversion price, issue rights, options or warrants at a price lower than the conversion price, etc., the Company shall promptly deliver to each Holder a notice setting forth the conversion price after such adjustment and provide a brief statement of facts requiring such adjustment.   In addition, if the volume weighted average price for each of any 20 consecutive trading days exceeds 250% of the conversion price, the Company may, within one trading day deliver a written notice to the holder and force the holder to convert a principal amount of the debenture equal to all or part of the holder’s portion of the forced conversion amount.


The agreement also provides for the issuance of 1,923,077 A warrants and 1,923,077 B warrants.  The warrants are exercisable at a price of $0.80 per share for the A warrant and $1.00 per share for the B warrant and expire June 29, 2012.  The Company valued the warrants using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.  For the purpose of the valuation of the warrants, the Company calculated a volatility of 66.48% on its common stock and used the U. S. Treasury bill rate of 4.94% for its risk free rate.  Then the Company allocated a portion of the proceeds to the warrants, based on the relative fair value basis, in the amount of $1,639,029 which was recognized as a contra liability account and was amortized as interest expense over the 2 year term of the agreement.  The intrinsic value of beneficial conversion of the debentures was valued at $5,677,491, which exceeds the effective value of the debentures by $860,971. Therefore, the discount assigned to the beneficial conversion feature is limited to $860,971 and was recognized as a contra liability account and was amortized as interest expense over the 2 year term of the agreement.


As payment for services provided, the Company also issued 192,308 Series A warrants and 192,308 Series B warrants which were valued at $475,925 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and expensed in 2007.




40




The debentures and warrants have anti-dilution protections, and the Company agreed to certain registration rights for the resale of the shares of common stock underlying the debentures and warrants.

At December 31, 2009, the outstanding indebtedness for the debentures and penalty resulting from forfeiture was $2,925.000. Assuming all debentures were converted, 4,500,000 shares of restricted common stock would be issued.  Additionally, assuming all outstanding warrants were exercised,  the total shares issued from conversion and exercise would total 8,651,895 shares.


NOTE 13 – COMMON STOCK OPTIONS


On December 31, 2007, the Company’s board of directors approved an equity plan.  The equity plan known as the 2007 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) reserves up to 6,000,000 shares of the Company’s authorized common stock for issuance to officers, directors, employees and consultants under the terms of the Plan. On December 31, 2009, the Company’s board of directors amended the Plan to authorize 12,000,000 shares.  The Plan permits the board of directors to issue stock options and restricted stock.

The fair value of each option granted under the Plan is estimated on the date of grant, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, based on the following weighted average assumptions:


 Options granted December 31, 2007:

 

 

 

Expected life (years)

 

5.0

 

Expected stock price volatility

 

66.27

%

Expected dividend yield

Risk-free interest rate

 Options granted December 31, 2008:

 Options granted December 31, 2009:

5.0

 

Expected stock price volatility

 

88.22

%

Expected dividend yield

 

0.0

%

Risk-free interest rate

 

2.34

%


The risk-free interest rate is based upon the U.S. Treasury yield curve at the time of grant for the respective expected life of the option. The expected life (estimated period of time outstanding) of options was estimated.  The expected volatility of the Company’s options was calculated using historical data. Expected dividend yield was not considered in the option pricing formula since the Company does not pay dividends and has no current plans to do so in the future. If actual periods of time outstanding and rate of forfeitures differs from the expected rates, the Company may be required to make additional adjustments to compensation expense in future periods.


The Company granted options to purchase 5,000,000 shares of common stock to key directors on December 31, 2007.  On June 13, 2008, the Company granted options to purchase 66,660 shares of common stock to employees. On December 31, 2009, the Company granted options to purchase 5,176,660 shares of common stock to certain officers, directors and employees.  A summary of the status of the Company’s outstanding stock options as of December 31, 2009 and changes during the period then ended is presented below:

NOTE 15 – ROYALTIES


Royalty agreements were executed with JMST, Cryometrix, All Temp and Image Labs as a condition of the companies acquisitions.  Terms of the royalty agreements are as follows:

 

JMST – David Carver will receive a royalty payment on gross revenues related to revenues derived from the Carver Patents or Carver Technology.  Such payments are due on revenue in excess of $500,000 derived from products under the Carver Patents or Carver Technology.  The royalty payment is 2.5% on the revenue in excess of $500,000 and is payable quarterly.  Payments are to be made in Reflect Scientific’s common stock not to exceed 500,000 shares in total. New products developed from the Carver Technology are subject to a royalty of 3% of gross revenues in excess of $100,000, with an additional 2% if gross revenues exceed $600,000. Royalties will also be paid in our common stock annually.  Common stock will be valued at $3.00 per share for these purposes.  Royalty payments are only due for years where there are valid Carver Patents.  At December 31, 2009, there were no royalties due.

 

Cryometrix – The prior shareholders of Cryometrix receive a 2.5% royalty on all sales, licensing or other distributions on revenue derived from products and technology received from Cryometrix.  The royalty payment is not due or payable unless and until the revenue derived from such products and technology exceeds $3,000,000.  The payment is payable in shares of Reflect Scientific’s common stock not to exceed 2,000,000 shares in aggregate. Common stock will be valued at $1.80 or market value at time of accrual which ever is greater, for these purposes.   Payments are due quarterly.  At December 31, 2009, there were no royalties due.

 

All Temp – The shareholders of All Temp will receive a pro-rata running royalty totaling 5% of the gross annual revenues earned from the All Temp’s business unit.  This revenue covers all revenues received by the All Temp subsidiary or any other business unit of Reflect Scientific which revenue is derived from products or services derived from All Temp as part of its acquisition.  The royalty is payable as long as Reflect Scientific owns and operates the All Temp business provided that the royalty is not payable if the All Temp business does not have earnings of at least 10% measured by earnings before interest and taxes.  The royalty is payable quarterly within 45 days following the close of each quarter. If within three years of the closing of the acquisition of All Temp, Reflect Scientific sells or transfers All Temp, its products or services, All Temp shareholders shall receive a cash payment of six hundred thousand dollars less any accumulated royalties payable.  At December 31, 2009, there were no royalties due.

 

Image Labs – The shareholders of Image Labs will receive a running earnout on the gross revenues derived from products associated with Image Labs including value added re-sales and custom engineering business segments.  The earnout is established as 1.25% of all gross revenues and an additional 1.25% of all revenues if the company achieves EBIT of 10%.  This segment specifically excludes anything received from our Catpro product lines. The royalty is payable quarterly so long as Reflect Scientific owns the Image Labs’ product line and services and as long as the business segment achieves an earnings before interest and taxes of 10% in the quarter the royalty payments are due.  At December 31, 2009, there were $22,542 royalties due.

Due to the change in ownership provisions of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, net operating loss carryforwards for Federal income tax reporting purposes are subject to annual limitations.  If a change in ownership occurs, then net operating loss carryforwards may be limited as to use in future years.  At December 31, 2009, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $7,185,866 that may be offset against future taxable income from the year 2009 through 2029. In addition the Company had research and development tax credit carryforwards of $51,627.  During 2009 the company reevaluated its deferred tax assets and concluded that none of the asset would be realizable and that a full valuation allowance should be recorded.  The valuation allowance was increased by $1,878,288 and leaves the company with a net deferred tax asset of $0 as of December 31, 2009.

 

Included in the balance at December 31, 2009, are no tax positions for which the ultimate deductibility is highly certain but for which there is uncertainty about the timing of such deductibility.  Because of the impact of deferred tax accounting, other than interest and penalties, the disallowance of the shorter deductibility period would not affect the annual effective tax rate but would accelerate the payment of cash to the taxing authority to an earlier period.


The tax years 2008 and 2007 remain open to examination for federal income tax purposes and by the other major taxing jurisdictions to which we are subject.

NOTE 17 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS


Loan from Shareholder


At December 31, 2009, a shareholder of the Company had advanced $18,000 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 18 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS.


The Company has evaluated subsequent events through March 31, 2010, the date the financial statements were issued, and has concluded that no recognized subsequent events have occurred since the year ended December 31, 2009.  The Company does note the following non-recognized transactions occurred subsequent to the year end:


Debenture Settlement 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 remaining debenture and penalty balance of $1,875,000 would result in the issuance of 4,687,500 shares of restricted common stock.


Divestiture of Image Labs and Miralogix


On March 2, 2010, Image Labs and Miralogix were sold to an employee.  Under the terms of the agreement all assets were transferred and all liabilities, except those employee related liabilities, such as salary, payroll taxes, and IRA contributions, were assumed by the new owner.  The sale of these entities, which manufacture and sell imaging and inspection devices and systems, will enable the Company to focus on its core green technology businesses.  While the Company received no cash from the transaction, the acquirer assumed all of the Company's liabilities, except those related to accrued payroll, as well as taking possession of the assets.
