Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations
Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking
Statements
The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995
(the “Act”) provides a safe harbor for forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of our Company. Our Company and our
representatives may from time to time make written or oral statements that are “forward-looking,” including statements contained
in this Annual Report and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and in reports to our Company’s stockholders.
Management believes that all statements that express expectations and projections with respect to future matters, as well as from developments
beyond our Company’s control including changes in global economic conditions are forward-looking statements within the meaning of
the Act. These statements are made on the basis of management’s views and assumptions, as of the time the statements are made, regarding
future events and business performance. There can be no assurance however, that management’s expectations will necessarily come
to pass. Factors that may affect forward- looking statements include a wide range of factors that could materially affect future developments
and performance, including the following:
|
·
|
Changes in Company-wide strategies, which may result in changes in the types
or mix of businesses in which our Company is involved or chooses to invest;
|
|
·
|
Changes in U.S., global or regional economic conditions;
|
|
·
|
Changes in U.S. and global financial and equity markets, including significant
interest rate fluctuations, which may impede our Company’s access to, or increase the cost of, external financing for our operations
and investments;
|
|
·
|
Increased competitive pressures, both domestically and internationally;
|
|
·
|
Legal and regulatory developments, such as regulatory actions affecting environmental
activities;
|
|
·
|
The imposition by foreign countries of trade restrictions and changes in international
tax laws or currency controls;
|
|
·
|
Adverse weather conditions or natural disasters, such as hurricanes and earthquakes,
labor disputes, which may lead to increased costs or disruption of operations.
|
This list of factors that may affect future performance
and the accuracy of forward-looking statements are illustrative, but by no means exhaustive. Accordingly, all forward-looking statements
should be evaluated with the understanding of their inherent uncertainty.
Critical
Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of 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 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. The Company has adopted the new revenue recognition
and lease accounting standards. The Company believes there have been no other significant changes during the nine-month period ended
September 30, 2021, to the items disclosed as significant accounting policies in management's Notes to the Financial Statements in
the Company's Form 10 for the year ended December 31, 2020.
Plan of Operation and Business
Growth
Our efforts continue to be focused on increasing the
sales of our life science consumables while, at the same time, working to enhance the design of our liquid nitrogen refrigeration products.
Of those liquid nitrogen refrigeration products, the ultra-low temperature freezer is receiving highest priority. We have received positive
feedback of the improvements and enhancements made to the design of the ultra-low temperature freezer. We also continue work on the refrigerated
trailer, or “reefer.”
We are receiving considerable interest in our latest
product introduction, which is an ultra-cold chiller used in the manufacture of CBD oil. This unit improves the efficiency of the manufacturing
process and enables the production of a higher purity in the CBD oil produced.
Concurrent with the development and commercialization
of the above products, we have completed our on-line catalog and are making progress in enrolling new distributors for our consumable
products.
An analysis of operating results for the three months
ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 follows.

Revenues increased during the three-month period ended
September 30, 2021, to $716,145 from $610,085 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2020, an increase of $106,060. The increase
is attributable to the increased sales of ultra-low temperature freezers and chillers. We are continuing work to increase our market penetration
in the ultra-low temperature freezer market and in the ultra-cold chiller.
Cost of goods decreased in the quarter ending September
30, 2021, as compared to September 30, 2020, to $242,343 from $2252,112, an decrease of $(9,769). We realized a gross profit percentage
of 66% for the three months ended September 30, 2021, compared to 59% for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The gross profit
percentage is dependent on the mix of product sales, which varies from quarter to quarter. The increased sale of freezers and chillers
during 2021 period resulted in the slightly higher margins. We continue to actively work to obtain more favorable pricing from our vendors
in order to increase the margins realized on all product lines.
Operating expenses were $313,913 for the three months
ended September 30, 2021, a increase of $160,128 over the expenses of $153,785 incurred in the three-month period ended September 30,
2020. The decrease results primarily from the $16,790 decrease in research and development costs and a $68,996 reduction in salaries and
wages and a $74,392 decrease in general and administrative expenses. While we continue to monitor and minimize operating costs, we also
realize that certain levels of expenditures are required in order to commercialize the products and achieve market penetration.
Research and development expenses for the three months
ended September 30, 2021 were $17,544, an increase of $754 in expenses for the same period in 2020, as the development work on the ultra-cold
CBD oil chiller was escalated.
Salaries and wages for the three months ended September
30, 2021 were reduced by $74,342 as compared to the expense for the three month period ended September 30, 2020. The termination of two
employees resulted in the lower expense level.
Net income for the three-month period ended September
30, 2021 was $159,889, a decrease of $44,299 from the $204,188 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2020. Management continues
to look for opportunities to increase sales, improve gross margins and control ongoing operating expenses.
The net income of $159,889 for the three-month period ended September 30,
2021 represents income of $0.00 per share. This compares to net income of $204,188, or $0.00 per share, for the three months ended September
30, 2020.

Revenues decreased during the nine-month period ended
September 30, 2021, to $1,985,640 from $2,096,799 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2020, a decrease of $111,159. The decrease
is attributable to the additional chillers shipped in 2020 as the backlog of orders resulting from delays in receiving component parts
were assembled and shipped. We are continuing work to increase our market penetration in the ultra-low temperature freezer market and
in the ultra-cold chiller.
Cost of goods decreased in the nine months ended September
30, 2021, as compared to September 30, 2020, to $621,317 from $845,281, a decrease of $223,964. We realized a gross profit percentage
of 69% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to 58% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.
The gross profit percentage is dependent on the mix
of product sales, which varies from quarter to quarter. Work has been done to reduce the component and assembly costs of the freezers
and chillers. We continue to actively work to obtain more favorable pricing from our vendors in order to increase the margins realized
on all product lines.
Operating expenses were $897,150 for the nine months
ended September 30, 2021, a decrease of $9,907 over the expenses of $907,057 incurred in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2020.
The decrease results primarily from the $144,913 decrease in research and development costs and a $22,806 decrease in salaries and wages,
offset in part by a $112,200 increase in general and administrative expenses. While we continue to monitor and minimize operating costs,
we also realize that certain levels of expenditures are required in order to commercialize the products and achieve market penetration.
Research and development expenses for the nine months
ended September 30, 2021 were $45,697, a decrease of $144,913 in expenses for the same period in 2020, as the development work on the
ultra-cold CBD oil chiller was minimized.
Operating expenses were also reduced due to lower
salaries and wages in the nine month period ended September 30, 2021 as compared to 2020. The $22,806 reduction resulted from the reduction
of two full-time employees.
Net income for the nine-month period ended September
30, 2021 was $578,438, which compares to net income of $344,329 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2020. Management continues
to look for opportunities to increase sales, improve gross margins and control ongoing operating expenses.
The net income of $578,438 for the nine-month period ended September 30,
2021 represents income of $0.01 per share. This compares to net income of $344,329, or income of $0.00 per share, for the nine months
ended September 30, 2020.
