NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1—BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND OTHER INFORMATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Reflect Scientific, Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q of Regulation S-X. They do not include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The December 31, 2023 consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements but do not include all disclosures required by GAAP. However, except as disclosed herein, there has been no material change in the information disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 29, 2024. The interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with those consolidated financial statements included in the Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements, consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments, have been made. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures,” which requires a public entity to disclose significant segment expenses and other segment items on an annual and interim basis and to provide in interim periods all disclosures about reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets that are currently required annually. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this standard will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures,” which enhances the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures by requiring; (1) consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and (2) income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. It also includes certain other amendments to improve the effectiveness of income tax disclosures. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025, with early adoption permitted. These amendments are to be applied prospectively, with retrospective application permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this standard will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
The Company currently believes there are no other issued and not yet effective accounting standards that are materially relevant to our condensed consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 2—DISAGGREGATION OF REVENUES
Our revenue is disaggregated based on product category and geographical region. We recognize revenue from the sale of scientific equipment for the life sciences and manufacturing industries. Our products include non-mechanical Cyrometrix freezers, chillers, and original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”) value-added products and components for the life sciences industry.

Overview
Reflect Scientific is engaged in the manufacture and distribution of innovative products targeted at the life science market. Our customers include hospitals, diagnostic laboratories, pharmaceutical and biotech companies, cold chain management, universities, government and private sector research facilities, chemical and industrial companies.
Our goal is to provide our customers with the best solution for their needs. This philosophy extends into our business strategies and acquisition plans. Through a series of strategic acquisitions, we acquired technology that has enabled us to expand our line of products to align with, and capitalize on, market needs. Our growing product portfolio includes ultra-low temperature freezers, blast freezers, solvent chillers and refrigerated transportation in addition to supplying OEM products to the life sciences industry.
Our Cryometrix brand ultra-low temperature and blast freezers innovative design enables our customers to save substantially on energy costs related to cryogenic storage. Ultra-low temperature freezers are used worldwide for the storage of vaccines, DNA, RNA, proteins and many other biological and chemical substances. There is a growing need for energy efficient, reliable ultra-low temperature storage units. Our Cryometrix freezers are targeted to this growing market and we have had tremendous success in blood storage and pharmaceutical manufacturing applications. The application of this technology for use in refrigerated trailers (commonly called “reefers”) used to transport goods which need to be maintained in a cold environment significantly broadens the market for this technology. The utilization of this technology in reefers eliminates the current method of cooling, which uses engines run on hydrocarbon fuels. The Cryometrix technology is pollutant free and is more efficient and cost effective than the technologies currently used. Reflect Scientific has added a new product line of solvent chillers. Solvent chillers are used in natural products extraction for optimizing product yield and purity.
Recent Developments
None.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On a regular basis, we evaluate these estimates. These estimates are based on management’s historical industry experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
For a description of the accounting policies that, in management’s opinion, involve the most significant application of judgment or involve complex estimation and which could, if different judgment or estimates were made, materially affect our reported financial position, results of operations, or cash flows, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 filed with the SEC on March 29, 2024.
During the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2024, there were no significant changes in our accounting policies and estimates.

Revenues. Revenues decreased by $11,851, or -2.3%, to $514,023 for the three months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to $525,874 for the three months ended September 30, 2023. Revenues were consistent between years due to freezer and chiller sales driven by customer needs.
Cost of goods sold. Cost of goods sold decreased by $9,691, or -4.9%, to $186,197 for the three months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to $195,888 for the three months ended September 30, 2023. Decrease was primarily due to slightly lower revenues for the same time period.
Gross profit. Our gross profit as a percentage of sales increased to 63.8%for the three months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to 62.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The increase in gross profit percentage was primarily due to the margins in freezer and chiller sales during the current period.
Salaries and wages. Salaries and wages decreased by $17,334, or -11.4%, to $137,943 for the three months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to $155,677 for the three months ended September 30, 2023.

General and administrative. General and administrative expenses increased by $3,221 or 3.8%, to $87,552 for the three months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to $84,331 for the three months ended September 30, 2023. Increase was primarily due to increased advertising and marketing during the current period.
Research and development. Research and development expenses decreased by $5,990, or -66.0%, to $3,092 for the three months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to $9,082 for the three months ended September 30, 2023. Such decrease was primarily a result of resource allocation to marketing and production.
14
Other income. Other income was $10,791 for the three months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to $5,368 for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The increase is from interest income earned on business money market savings accounts. These were opened during the third quarter of 2023.
Net income. As a result of the cumulative effect of the factors described above, our net income was $109,930 for the three months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to a net income of $86,264 for the three months ended September 30, 2023. Management continues to look for opportunities to increase sales, improve gross margins and control ongoing operating expenses.
