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 months ended March 31, 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. These amendments
are to be applied retrospectively. 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

Special Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements
This report contains forward-looking statements that
are based on our management’s beliefs and assumptions and on information currently available to us. All statements other than statements
of historical facts are forward-looking statements. These statements relate to future events or to our future financial performance and
involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or
achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied
by these forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements about:
| |
● |
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. |
In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements
by terms such as “may,” “could,” “will,” “should,” “would,” “expect,”
“plan,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,”
“potential,” “project” or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology.
These statements are only predictions. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements because they involve known and
unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, which are, in some cases, beyond our control and which could materially affect results.
In addition, statements that “we believe”
and similar statements reflect our beliefs and opinions on the relevant subject. These statements are based upon information available
to us as of the date of this report, and while we believe such information forms a reasonable basis for such statements, such information
may be limited or incomplete, and our statements should not be read to indicate that we have conducted an exhaustive inquiry into, or
review of, all potentially available relevant information. These statements are inherently uncertain and investors are cautioned not to
unduly rely upon these statements.
The forward-looking statements made in this report
relate only to events or information as of the date on which the statements are made in this report. Except as expressly required by the
federal securities laws, there is no undertaking to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new
information, future events, changed circumstances or any other reason.
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 ended March 31, 2024,
there were no significant changes in our accounting policies and estimates.

Revenues. Revenues increased by $187,628, or
77.8%, to $428,755 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to $241,127 for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Such
increase was primarily due to a heightened demand for freezer and chiller sales, driven by increased customer capital expenditures during
the current period.
Cost of goods sold. Cost of goods sold increased
by $73,333, or 64.5%, to $186,966 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to $113,633 for the three months ended March
31, 2023. Such increase was primarily due to increased freezer and chillers sales during the current period.
Gross profit. Our gross profit as a percentage
of sales increased to 56.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to 52.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2023.
The increase in gross profit percentage was primarily due to the increase in freezer and chiller sales during the current period, which
have better margins than other products. This was partially offset by increased product costs during the current period.
Salaries and wages. Salaries and wages
decreased by $19,661, or 12.1%, to $142,614 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to $162,275 for the three months
ended March 31, 2023. Such decrease was primarily due to no stock-based compensation during the current period and decreased
employee headcount.
General and administrative. General and
administrative expenses increased by $25,312, or 23.7%, to $132,304 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to
$106,992 for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Such increase was primarily due to increased advertising and marketing,
professional fees, public filing costs, and rent expense during the current period.
Research and development. Research and
development expenses increased by $1,309, or 21.6%, to $7,375 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to $6,066 for
the three months ended March 31, 2023. Such increase was primarily a result of increased enhancements to the ultra-cold CBD oil
chiller as a result of the improved operations during the current period.
Other income. Other income was $8,533 for the
three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase in the current period was
from interest income earned on our business money market savings accounts, which were opened during the fourth quarter of 2023.
Net loss. As a result of the cumulative
effect of the factors described above, our net loss was $31,971 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to a net loss
of $147,839 for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Management continues to look for opportunities to increase sales, improve
gross margins and control ongoing operating expenses.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, our
current assets exceeded current liabilities by $1,740,469 and $1,773,784, respectively, and we had cash and cash equivalents of
$1,099,424 and $1,277,951, respectively. To date, we have financed our operations primarily through revenue generated from
operations, cash proceeds from financing activities, borrowings, and equity contributions by our shareholders.

Net cash used in operating activities was $178,527
and $182,858 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Significant factors affecting operating cash flows were
primarily a result of increased accounts receivable during the current period.
We continue working to enhance our on-line ordering
system to increase sales, develop the market for our ultra-low temperature freezers, work with current vendors to obtain more favorable
pricing, and locate new vendors to provide opportunities to further reduce our cost of goods.
We will continue to focus our efforts on our core
business activities while pursuing capital resources and evaluating potential future acquisitions which fit within and enhance our core
business.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have
or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses,
results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
Not applicable.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as
defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)). Disclosure controls
and procedures refer to controls and other procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file
or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms
of the Securities and Exchange Commission and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief
executive officer and chief principal officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
As required by Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act,
our management has carried out an evaluation, with the participation and under the supervision of our chief executive officer and principal
financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as of March 31, 2024. Based
upon, and as of the date of this evaluation, our chief executive officer and principal financial officer determined that there have been
no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting as of March 31, 2024 to the material weaknesses described in Item 9A “Controls
and Procedures” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, our disclosure controls and procedures
were not effective.
PART II
OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

lawsuits and legal proceedings, which arise, in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties,
and an adverse result in these, or other matters, may arise from time to time that may harm our business. We are currently not aware of
any such legal proceedings or claims that we believe will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or operating
results.
