Item 1. Description of Business
Business Development
History
Reflect Scientific, Inc., a Utah corporation (the Company, we, our, us and words of similar import), was organized under the laws of the State of Utah on November 3, 1999, under the name Cole, Inc. On December 31, 2003, we acquired Reflect Scientific, Inc., a California corporation. We changed our name to Reflect Scientific, Inc. and succeeded to the business operations of our wholly-owned subsidiary, that involved 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. See our 8-K Current Report dated December 31, 2003, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 15, 2004, and is incorporated herein by reference. See Part IV, Item 15.
On November 29, 2005, we announced the execution of a Letter of Intent to acquire Cryomastor Corporation, a California corporation (Cryomastor [sometimes called Cryometrix, its amended name).
Effective as of April 4, 2006, we entered into a Purchase Agreement (the JMST Agreement) with JM SciTech, LLC, a limited liability company organized under the laws of the State of Colorado, and doing business as JMST Systems (JMST); David Carver, an individual (Carver); and Julie Martin, an individual (Martin) (JMST, Carver and Martin are sometimes hereinafter referred to collectively as Sellers). Pursuant to the JMST Agreement, we purchased and JMST sold all right, title and interest in and to the JMST Technology (the JMST Technology), as described in the JMST Agreement; and Carver conveyed and assigned any rights he had in and to certain patents (the Carver Patents) and related intellectual assets as described in the JMST Agreement (collectively, including the Carver Patents, referred to herein as the Carver Technology). JMST had created a line of chemical detection instruments that are used in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology and homeland security markets. The patented technology allows researchers to accurately analyze chemical formulations for their
4
composition and identity. See our 8-K Current Report dated April 4, 2006, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 7, and is incorporated herein by reference. See Part IV, Item 15.
On June 27, 2006, we completed the acquisition of Cryomastor pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Cryomastor Merger Agreement), which became our wholly-owned subsidiary; changed its name to Cryometrix, Inc.; and succeeded to its business operations, which involved the manufacture and sale of ultra low temperature freezer systems powered by liquid nitrogen for use in bio-repositories associated with the biotech and pharmaceutical industries, as well as government facilities, universities and many other diverse applications that require a large number of reliable and energy efficient freezers. See our 8-K Current Report dated June 27, 2006, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 30, 2006, and is incorporated herein by reference. See Part IV, Item 15.
On November 15, 2006, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Image Labs Merger Agreement) between Image Acquisition Corp., a Georgia corporation and our wholly-owned subsidiary (Merger Subsidiary); Smithgall & Associates, Inc., dba Image Labs International, a Georgia corporation (Image Labs); and Brian Smithgall (Smithgall), the sole shareholder of Image Labs (the Image Labs Shareholder). Established in 1993 and located in Bozeman, Montana, Image Labs is a manufacturer and developer of factory automation equipment. The primary product lines focus in the areas of automated inspection, measurement and material handling. See our 8-K Current Report dated November 15, 2006, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 21, 2006, and is incorporated herein by reference. See Part IV, Item 15. In February 2010, management made the decision to divest this business.
On November 17, 2006, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the The All Temp Merger Agreement) between our wholly-owned subsidiary, Cryometrix, Inc. (Merger Subsidiary); All Temp Engineering Inc., a California corporation (All Temp); J F Dain & E L Dain CO T Tee Dain Family Revocable Trust U/A Dated 12/17/2001 (the Dain Trust) and Nicholas J. Henneman (Henneman), the sole All Temp Shareholders (collectively, the All Temp Shareholders); and John F. Dain, individually (Dain). All Temp was located in San Jose, California and had been providing engineered solutions and services to the cryogenics industry for over 24 years. All Temp served numerous companies in business sectors such as biotech, pharmaceutical, medical devices, research, universities, semiconductor, aerospace, military, and industrial food processing. See our 8-K Current Report dated November 17, 2006, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 22, 2006, and is incorporated herein by reference. See Part IV, Item 15.
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 IV, Item 15.
On October 31, 2009, the Company completed the contract obligations of All Temp and moved its Cryometrix subsidiary to Montana. The consolidation of the manufacturing operations was made to bring greater efficiencies while at the same time provide cost savings.
On March 2, 2010, the Company sold the assets and certain liabilities of Image Labs and Miralogix to an employee. The time line from the point at which the Company made the decision to sell to the accepting of the offer and closing of the transaction was less than two weeks. The sale was structured such that the Company received no cash from the transaction, while the acquirer took possession of all the assets and assumed all of the liabilities of Image Labs and Miralogix except for those related to accrued payroll and related personnel expenses. Managements decision to divest this subsidiary was based on its strategic plan to refocus its product lines and sales efforts to its proprietary green technologies. A history of operating losses at Image Labs and Miralogix, the potential necessity of additional capital expenditures, and the soft market for its products due to economic conditions, were additional considerations in making that determination. The Company recorded a loss of $947,941 all of which is reported in the twelve month period covered by this report. In conjunction with the disposal of this business entity, $99,100 in cash was transferred to the new owners. With the sale of operations in Montana, the Cryometrix subsidiary was moved to and consolidated with the Reflect Scientific operations in Utah.

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. Through a series of strategic acquisitions, 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 in 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 the 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 Scientifics, 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 Scientifics products range from non-mechanical Cyrometrix freezers, products and parts for life science industry to tools and analytical services for industrial manufacturing.
All of Reflect Scientifics products and services are developed with one key factor in mind: Providing a superior cost/benefit to the customer than do 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 organizations and companies 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 inherent 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 mechanical 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.
7
§
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 disposed of effective March 2, 2010.
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 are required 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 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. 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
We are 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; changes in executive officers and directors; and bankruptcy) in a Current Report on Form 8-K.
Patents, Trademarks, Licenses, Franchises, Concessions, Royalty Agreements or Labor Contracts, including Duration

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities
On June 29, 2008, Reflect Scientific pursuant to the securities purchase agreement sold to five institutional investors
12
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, 2010, the net number of shares outstanding was reduced by 1,389,760. This reduction was the net result of 1,850,800 shares returned to the Company by agreement, which shares were cancelled, reduced by the issuance of 411,040 shares in payment of patent fees and 50,000 shares issued to an employee.
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.
Use of Proceeds of Registered Securities
There were no proceeds received during the calendar year ended December 31, 2010, from the sale of registered securities.
Purchases of Equity Securities by Us and Affiliated Purchasers

Item 7. Managements 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 Companys 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 Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be
13
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, 2010.
Reflect Scientifics accounting policies are more fully described in Note 2 of the consolidated financial statements. As discussed in Note 2, 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 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 results could differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Reflect Scientific believes that the following addresses Reflect Scientifics most critical accounting policies.
We recognize revenue when the following criteria have been met: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (2) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, (3) the price is fixed or determinable and (4) collectability is reasonably assured.
Product revenues are recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, risk of loss and title has transferred to our customers, the fee is fixed or determinable and collection is probable. Rights of return for manufactured product are dependent upon the agreement.
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, 2010 has been a transitional year for the Company. Historically, significant portions of our revenue came from the manufacture and sale of capital equipment purchased by our customers. The economic climate the past few years caused many of these customers to defer, significantly reduce, or eliminate altogether their capital budget spending. The reduced level of capital spending had a significant impact on our sales for 2009 and led to the management decision to divest Image Labs and Miralogix. 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 and the warrants will be extinguished. Our ability to execute this agreement is dependent upon the obtaining of additional funding at terms that are acceptable. We cannot assure 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.

While the core business of specialty lab supplies and detector supplies decreased 8% to $2,401,685 in 2010 from the $3,384,551 in 2009, total revenue for the period ended December 31, 2010 decreased as compared to total revenue for the period ended December 31, 2009. A significant part of our 2009 sales came from the sale and installation of capital equipment manufactured and/or installed by Cryometrix and All Temp. Our core business sales of laboratory supplies remain strong and are projected to continue.
Our cost of goods decreased in the period ending December 31, 2010, as compared to December 31, 2009, due primarily to the reduced levels of sales. The percentage on gross margins increased to 45% in 2010, a 3% increase over the 42% margins realized in 2009. Our gross margin percent is heavily influenced by the sales mix, with the lab and detector supplies carrying higher gross margins than the manufactured capital equipment.
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, coupled with those resulting from the divesture of Image Labs and Miralogix, are reflected in 2010 operating expense reductions.
General and administrative expenses decreased to $748,254 during the year ended December 31, 2010, from $1,242,460 during the year ended December 31, 2009. This reduction results from efficiency measures implemented by management during 2009 and the divesture made in 2010. Expense levels going forward are expected to remain near the levels experienced in 2010.
The net loss narrowed to $1,772,247 in 2010 from $4,881,878 for the year ended December 31, 2009. Losses for each year contain one-time expenses as follows:
2010
2009
Penalty on debenture default
$
690,000
Impairment of long-lived asset charges
708,265
Stock-based compensation charges
422,804
Loss
from discontinued operations
$ 1,147,850
_______881,421
Total
$ 1,147,850
$ 1,821,069
The recording of these one-time charges made a significant impact on the operating results for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.
Seasonality and Cyclicality
We do not believe our business is cyclical.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our cash resources at December 31, 2010, were $242,136, with accounts receivable of $243,169 and inventory of $376,751. We have relied on revenues and sales of equity and debt securities for cash resources. As a result of the decreases in accounts receivable and inventories, coupled with increases in cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, we had negative working capital of $3,230,424 at December 31, 2010. This compares to negative working capital of $2,621,941 at December 31, 2009. We are in default on our debentures and we need to obtain funding to retire that debt.
In 2010, net cash provided from operating activities was $195,839 in cash as compared to net cash used of $275,130 in 2009. We are hopeful that in 2011, 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.
16
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We lease office and warehouse space under a non-cancelable operating lease in Utah. Future minimum lease payments under the operating lease at December 31, 2010 are $185,260 for this facility. In addition, we have one automobile lease with future minimum lease payments of $20,305.

Item 8. Financial Statements
The financial statements of the Company are set forth immediately following the signature page to this Form 10-K.
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. 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/Principal 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/Principal Financial Officer concluded that information required to be disclosed is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the specified periods and is accumulated and communicated to management, including our President and Chief/Principal Financial Officer, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure of material information required to be included in our periodic Securities and Exchange Commission reports. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and our Chief Executive Officer and Chief/Principal 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.
Managements 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/Principal Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010. 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, 2010, 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
17
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. Managements report was not subject to attestation by our independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only managements report in this annual report on Form 10-K.

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

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.

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.

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, 2010 and 2009, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit.
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 purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys 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, 2010 and 2009, 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. Managements 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, 2010 and 2009
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 Companys 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 Companys 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 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, sold and installed inspection and testing equipment, were divested effective March 2, 2010.
NOTE 2 -
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
a. Accounting Method
The Companys 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, the price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured.
37
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 $0 and $30,980 to bad debt expense for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The allowance for doubtful accounts balance at December 31, 2010 and 2009 was $18,714 and $80,161, respectively.
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 Companys 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 $1,550 and $5,377 of advertising expense during the years ended December 31, 2010, and 2009, respectively.
i. Newly Issued Accounting Pronouncements
ASC Topic 350 In December 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-28, Intangibles Goodwill and other (Topic 350): When to Perform Step 2 of the Goodwill Impairment Test for Reporting Units with Zero or Negative Carrying Amounts (ASU 2010-28). ASU 2010-28 simplifies Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test so that for those reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts, an entity is required to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test if it is more likely than not based on an assessment of qualitative indicators that a goodwill impairment exists. In determining whether it is more likely than not that goodwill impairment exists, an entity should consider whether there are any adverse qualitative factors indicating that an impairment may exist. ASU 2010-28 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2010. The Company
38
does not expect adoption of this standard to have a material impact on its consolidated results of operations and financial condition.
ASC Topic 820 In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements (ASU 2010-06). The Company adopted ASU 2010-06, except for the disclosure about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements which are deferred until fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010. The Company believes that the disclosures will not have a material impact on its consolidated results of operations and financial condition when adopted.
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, | |||
|
| 2010 |
| 2009 |
Net loss (numerator) | $ | (1,772,247) | $ | (4,881,878) |
Shares (denominator) |
| 34,383,619 |
| 34,981,966 |
Net loss per share amount | $ | (0.05) | $ | (0.14) |
|
|
|
|
|
As of December 31, 2010 the Company had 9,328,555 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 Companys policy is to recognize potential interest and penalties accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits within income tax expense. For the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, 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, 2010 and 2009 relating to unrecognized benefits.
39
m. Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, which include Cryometrix (previously Cryomastor) and the operations of Image Labs International/Miralogix from from January 1, 2010 to the date of its sale on March 2, 2010. All subsidiaries are wholly owned. All material intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.
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 $7,619 and $22,353 in research and product development for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, 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 assets 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 December 31, 2009 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 $0 and $708,265 was recorded at December 31, 2010 and 2009 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 Companys 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 $300,000 in
40
cash and the issuance of 1,200,000 shares of the Companys 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. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

As of December 31, 2010, there was a balance due on the line in the amount of $40,008.
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 holders 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.
43
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.
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.
A summary of the status of the Companys outstanding stock warrants as of December 31, 2010 and changes during the period then ended is presented below:

At December 31, 2010, 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.
In August 2010, management reached agreement with all but one of the debenture holders on a plan to settle the debentures held by them that are in default. The settlement agreement is contingent upon the Company making a cash payment to them in the amount of $300,000 and the issuance of 1,200,000 shares of restricted common stock. Those debenture holders will accept the cash payment and stock issuance as full satisfaction of the debentures and warrants purchased on June 29, 2007. The Company is diligently working to raise the funding with which to fulfill the cash payment obligation under this agreement. The holder of the remaining debentures is involved in bankruptcy proceedings in England and the resolution of those debentures and accrued interest is undetermined.

NOTE 13 COMMON STOCK OPTIONS
On December 31, 2007, the Companys 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 Companys authorized common stock for issuance to officers, directors, employees and consultants under the terms of the Plan. On December 31, 2009, the Companys 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 |
| 0.0 | % |
Risk-free interest rate |
| 3.38 | % |
Options granted December 31, 2008: |
|
|
|
Expected life (years) |
| 5.0 |
|
Expected stock price volatility |
| 65.79 | % |
Expected dividend yield |
| 0.0 | % |
Risk-free interest rate |
| 3.41 | % |
Options granted December 31, 2009: |
|
|
|
Expected life (years) |
| 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 Companys 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. In July 2010 the Company cancelled 5,066,660 options which had been issued prior to December 2009. A summary of the status of the Companys outstanding stock options as of December 31, 2010 and changes during the period then ended is presented below:

As of December 31, 2010, there was no unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock options granted under the Plan. The 5,176,660 options granted in 2009 fully vested during the year and were fully expensed at the time of grant.
NOTE 14 INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Intangible assets are stated at cost. Amortization computed using the straight-line method. The lives over which the intangible assets are amortized range from 10 to 20 years. Intangible assets and related amortization for the period are as follows:

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, 2010, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $8,130,368 that may be offset against future taxable income from the year 2010 through 2030. In addition the Company had research and development tax credit carryforwards of $50,474. During 2010 the company evaluated 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 decreased by $1,308,100 and leaves the company with a net deferred tax asset of $0 as of December 31, 2010.
Included in the balance at December 31, 2010, 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 2007 through 2010 remain open to examination for federal income tax purposes and by the other major taxing jurisdictions to which we are subject.
