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.  


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 composition and identity.  


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.  


On May 1, 2020, the Company filed a Form 15-12g whereby, under Rule 12g-4(a)(1), it terminated its duty to file reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  It was later determined that this action was not in the best interest of the shareholders or the Company so the Company has elected to return to a fully-reporting entity.

Business


Impact of the Covid-19 Pandemic


The recent COVID-19 Pandemic (“the Pandemic”) has to date had little effect on our business.  The nature of our customer base being primarily pharmaceutical has actually increased the demand for our products.  Many of the new vaccines and protein-based therapeutics require freezers either in processing or storing these products.  There is a continued risk of supply chain interruption, availability of raw materials or other unforeseen issues that can be caused by the ever-changing progression of the pandemic.  We recognize these risks and are taking every effort to prevent or mitigate them as they arise.


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.


Products


Reflect Scientific designs, develops and sells scientific equipment for the life sciences and manufacturing industries.  Since Reflect Scientific’s inception in 1993, our focus is and has been on providing value added products, analytic testing supplies and equipment, and stand-alone products for the life sciences and industrial marketplace.  Reflect Scientifics products range from non-mechanical Cyrometrix freezers and value added products and components for the life sciences 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 verses 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 a superior value proposition to the customer over any other competing and existing products in the market.


We have developed a business model with a focus on excellence in the design and development of products and solutions for life science and industrial manufacturing industries.  We outsource the majority of our manufacturing, allowing us to concentrate our efforts on product innovation across multiple lines and industries.  Our strength is in developing and providing value added products which we believe offer immediate and verifiable benefits and cost saving solutions.  


We have found a number of 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.  Our focus on development and design expertise, as opposed to manufacturing of products, enables us to innovate along multiple industry lines and customize our products to meet specific needs in a variety of industrial settings.  Our products are sold in the biotechnology, natural products, pharmaceutical, cold chain management and medical industries, as well as manufacturing industries, such as automotive.

Cryometrix Freezers


Our Cryometrix ultra-low temperature and blast 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 and blast freezers are used in many applications for the storage and fast freezing protocols of everything from blood to cancer vaccines.  These types of freezers are used by 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 loss of inventory each year because of the problems related to reliability inherent with mechanical freezers.  


Our freezers incorporate a disruptive technology. They are based on a complete divergence from the technology currently 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 and reliability 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 control– 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.

*

Frost build-up


Our Cryometrix ultra low temperature and blast freezer uses a patented design and technology 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

*

Environmental issues related to pollution using the current refrigerated trailer (“reefer”) technology


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 reefers for transporting perishable items opens a significant new market.  Trailers can easily be retrofitted with the Cryometrix unit, which operates pollution free, more efficiently, and provides a cost savings compared to the diesel-powered units currently used.  The non-polluting Cryometrix unit provides significant benefits over any other unit currently marketed.


A new development using a similar liquid nitrogen cooling technology is the solvent chiller.  Solvent chillers are used for providing chilled solvent for extracting a final commercial product from plant materials.  The extraction solvent is rapidly chilled to a temperature that will optimize the extraction purity and recovery of the final product of interest.  Solvent chillers are currently being sold into the CBD extraction market.


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 competitor’s 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.  




5




Given our relative size versus our competitors, we are often required to seek niche markets for our products or focus on selling consumable components to be used by our competitors. We believe, however, that our technology and experience in the ultra-low freezers space allows us to be competitive in those markets.  As our ultra-low freezer 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


While we will continuously evaluate acquisitions of businesses and technologies to grow our revenues in the life science and green technology markets, our primary focus will be the continued growth of our own product lines through increasing market share and the addition of new innovative products to enhance our current offerings.  


We seek to expand the applications for our products and equipment into additional markets as we develop brand recognition.  We hope to be able to obtain market leverage from our existing products and name recognition as we use our existing offerings and product strengths to position us as a key supplier of cryogenic storage, blast freezing and cold chain management solutions.  This strategic plan will also enable us to further diversify our customer base.


Manufacturing, Supplies, and Quality Control


Many of our products are manufactured by strategic selection of third-party manufacturers. By outsourcing our manufacturing, we are able to reduce the overall cost position of our products.  We manufacture our lower volume products that 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 primary vendors in place and have identified secondary vendors.


Dependence on One or a Few Major Customers


We have four major customers who represented 24% and 37% of our sales volume in 2020 and 2019, respectively. The Company has strong relationships with each of these customers and does not believe this concentration poses a significant risk due to those long-term relationships and the uniqueness of the products they purchase from us.


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


Our Registration Statement on Form 10 will become effective 60 days after filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, at which point our securities will be registered pursuant to Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act.  Issuers with securities registered under Section 12(g) are subject to numerous regulatory requirements under the Exchange Act.  For example, we will be 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



6




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.


Upon effectiveness of our Registration Statement on Form 10, we will also be 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


We regard intellectual property (“IP”) as a strategic asset that allows us to maintain a highly competitive position in the market.  All patents and trademarks relating to acquired technologies have been assigned to us.  Where appropriate, we seek patent protection for inventions and developments made by our personnel and incorporated into our products or otherwise falling within our fields of interest. We protect some of our technology as proprietary trade secrets and, where appropriate, we use trademarks or registered trademarks used in connection with our products.


There are currently 29 patents assigned to Reflect Scientific, Inc.  We have a strong commitment to maintaining our IP portfolio and pursuing additional IP to expand our product protection.


Research and Development Costs During the Last Two Fiscal Years


During the year ended December 31, 2020, we expended $185,295 for research and development.  During the year ended December 31, 2019, we expended $210,014 for research and development.  The majority of the research and development on our products is performed by independent contractors who have been enhancing technologies, primarily on the reefer unit and the detectors.  We expect research and development cost to increase in the future with the development work required to update and make improvements on our Cryometrix freezers.


Employees

 

As of February 28, 2021, subsequent to the balance sheet date, we had 7 full-time and 4 part-time employees. None of our employees are represented under a collective bargaining agreement. We believe our relations with our employees to be good.   


Reports to Security Holders


You may read and copy any materials that we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission at the Securities and Exchange Commissions’ Public Reference Room at 100 F Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20549.  You may also find all of the reports that we have filed electronically with the Securities and Exchange Commission at their Internet site www.sec.gov.

Critical Accounting Policies


Reflect Scientific’s 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 Scientific’s most critical accounting policies.  The significant accounting change implemented during the year ended December 31, 2019 related to the adoption of lease accounting.


REVENUE RECOGNITION:  We sell our specialty science and environmental lab supplies through direct sales and through distributor relationships.  We sell our ultra-low temperature freezers through consultants and commission-only sales personnel.   Revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods based on the consideration we expect to receive in exchange for these goods. This core principle is achieved through the following steps:


Identify the contract with the customer. A contract with a customer exists when (i) we enter into an enforceable contract with a customer that defines each party’s rights regarding the goods to be transferred and identifies the payment terms related to these goods, (ii) the contract has commercial substance and, (iii) we determine that collection of substantially all consideration for services that are transferred is probable based on the customer’s intent and ability to pay the promised consideration. We do not have significant costs to obtain contracts with customers.


Identify the performance obligations in the contract. Generally, our contracts with our laboratory supply customers do not include multiple performance obligations to be completed over a period of time. Our performance obligations generally relate to delivering specialty laboratory products to a customer, subject to the shipping terms of the contract. Limited warranties are provided, under which we typically accept returns and provide either replacement parts or refunds. We do not have significant returns. We do not typically offer extended warranty or service plans.


Ultra-low temperature freezers sold to customers are built to order.  Generally, 50% of the value of the contract is paid by the customer prior to work beginning on manufacturing the freezer.  Upon completion of manufacturing and testing the customer will then sign an acceptance of the unit and make payment of the remaining balance on the contract, at which title passes to the customer.  The units are FOB ship point.  The customer may either arrange to transport the unit with a carrier he uses or ask the Company to arrange such shipment, the charges of which are the responsibility of the customer.  A customer may, after accepting the unit, request that it be upgraded with additional hardware or software options.  Those options are installed under a new contract, with the deposit and final payment requirements being the same as on the original order.


Determine the transaction price. Payment by the customer is due under customary fixed payment terms, and we evaluate if collectability is reasonably assured. None of our contracts as of December 31, 2020 contained a significant financing component.


Allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract. We typically do not have multiple performance obligations in our laboratory supply contracts with customers. As such, we generally recognize revenue upon transfer of the product to the customer's control at contractually stated pricing.  The freezers likewise do not have milestone or percentage of completion clauses in the contract, so revenue is only recognized when the work has been completed.


Recognize revenue when or as we satisfy a performance obligation. We generally satisfy performance obligations at a point in time upon shipment of goods, or, with our freezers, upon final acceptance of the unit by the customer, in accordance with the terms of each contract with the customer. We do not have significant service revenue. 


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.


CASH:  The Company considers all deposit accounts and investment accounts with an original maturity of 90 days or less to be cash equivalents.  




8




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 $0 to bad debt expense for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The Company has historically experienced minimal bad debts.  The allowance for doubtful accounts balance of $4,000 at December 31, 2020 was reviewed and it was deemed that no adjustment to the provision was required at December 31, 2020.  Management feels this to be an adequate reserve based on the experience seen over multiple years.


The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts 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.


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.  


INVENTORY:  Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value based upon the average cost inventory method.  The Company’s inventory consists of parts for scientific vial kits, refrigerant gases, components for the imaging and inspection systems which it builds, and other scientific items.


INCOME TAXES:  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.


STOCK BASED COMPENSATION: The Company, in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation, records all share-based payments to employees at the grant-date fair value of the equity instruments issued. In accordance with ASC 718-10-30-9, Measurement Objective – Fair Value at Grant Date, the Company uses the closing price of the stock, as quoted by NASDAQ, on the date of the grant.  The Company believes this pricing method provides the best estimate of fair the fair value of the consideration given. Compensation cost is recognized over the requisite service period.


The Company, in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation, establishes the value of equity instruments issued to non-employees for goods and services by using the closing price of the stock, as quoted by NASDAQ, on the date of the grant.  The Company believes this method fairly establishes the value of the goods and/or services received.


Overview


During the year ended December 31, 2020 revenue increased by 73.5% compared to the year ended December 31, 2019.  The revenue growth resulted from a $1,218,156 increase in the sale of our ultra-cold freezers, offset in part by a decline in sales of our specialty lab supplies.  While there can be no assurance that freezer sales will increase in future periods, it is encouraging that the marketplace has embraced our disruptive technology, and our installed operating base continues to increase.  Historically, the core business of the company has been the sale of specialty laboratory supplies.  Orders of those supplies decreased as a group in 2020 as compared to 2019. We are working to attract new distributors to build sales of these specialty items to historical levels.


The Company focused its resources during 2020 to the marketing of our ultra-cold freezers.  Increasing sales of the ultra-low temperature freezers and commercialization of the refrigerated trailer will provide opportunity for the Company to expand sales in the higher margin technology markets.


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, unprofitable subsidiaries divested, facilities consolidated and personnel reductions made.

Total revenue in 2020 increased 73.5% to $2,792,623 from revenue of $1,609,241 in 2019.  Revenue of $1,950,462 was from ultra-low temperature freezers and chillers accounts in 2020, compared with revenue of $732,306 from freezer sales in 2019.  We continue to work to increase sales of these freezer units, as well as working to develop marketing strategies to expand distribution channels of our specialty laboratory products.


Our cost of goods sold increased by $453,722 in the period ending December 31, 2020, as compared to December 31, 2019.  Gross profit margin was 62% in 2020 and 62% in 2019.  Our gross margin percent is influenced by the sales mix, with the ultra-low temperature freezers carrying significantly higher margins than the more generic lab supplies. We are working to further increase gross margins through working with current vendors to obtain more favorable costing or identifying and qualifying new vendors who offer more favorable pricing without compromising quality.


Salaries and wages increased $33,577 in 2020 compared to 2019 is the net result of salary changes (a portion of which is allocated to cost of goods sold), personnel additions and stock-based compensation, offset in part by salaries charged to research and development, cost of goods and inventory.  Our plan is to continue to use outside contractors where practical to enable us to minimize our number of employees.  


Research and development expense was $185,295 in 2020 compared to $210,014 in 2019, a decrease of $24,719.  The decrease was primarily the result of much of the needed R&D work on the freezers and chillers being completed in 2019.


General and administrative expenses decreased to $350,477 for 2020 as compared $408,359 in 2019, a decrease of $57,882.  The majority of the decrease results from a decrease in consulting fees in 2020 over 2019. Expense levels going forward are expected to approximate the 2020 levels as we continue to use consultants for business development and the marketing of our products.


Other income consisted of a $10,000 gain recognized on the extinguishment of the EIDL grant, reduced by $890 in interest expense.  Other expense in 2019 consisted of $755 in interest expense.


We had a net income of $660,115 in 2020, an improvement of $855,703 over the $195,588 loss realized in 2019.  


Seasonality and Cyclicality


We do not believe our business is cyclical.

Liquidity and Capital Resources


Our cash resources at December 31, 2020, were $642,542, with accounts receivable of $340,427 and inventory of $438,606 net of reserves. Our working capital at December 31, 2020 was $1,203,080. This compares to working capital of $440,741 at December 31, 2019.  


In 2020, net cash used in operating activities was $(25,218) as compared to net cash provided by operations of $335,869 in 2019.  We anticipate that in 2020, with the benefit of continued cost reductions and increased revenue, we will generate positive cash from operating activities. 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.

Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners


The following table sets forth, as of March 17, 2021, the names, addresses and number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by all persons known to the management of Reflect Scientific to be beneficial owners of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of common stock, and the names and number of shares beneficially owned by all directors of Reflect Scientific and all executive officers and directors of Reflect Scientific as a group (except as indicated, each beneficial owner listed exercises sole voting power and sole dispositive power over the shares beneficially owned).  


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


All percentages are calculated based upon a total number of 84,739,086 shares of common stock outstanding as of March 17, 2021, plus, in the case of the individual or entity for which the calculation is made, that number of options or warrants owned by such individual or entity that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days.

Item 7. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence


Transactions with Related Persons


In December 2019, the Board of Directors approved the issuance of 2,500,000 shares of restricted common stock to the President/CEO. Also in December 2019 the Board of Directors approved the issuance of 281,000 shares of restricted common stock to officers and directors. These shares were for compensation. In addition, the Board of Directors approved the issuance of 2,000,000 shares of restricted common stock to Steven Boyce, a son of the President/CEO and an employee of the Company.  These shares were recorded at the trading price at the date of approval, for an average of $0.041 per share, resulting in $196,021 recorded in salaries and wages.


In the year ended December 31, 2020, there were no related party transactions.


Parents of the Issuer


None; however, Kim Boyce, our President and a director, may be deemed to be our “parent” by virtue of his substantial shareholdings in our Company.




16




Transactions with Promoters and Control Persons


There were no material transactions, or series of similar transactions, during our Company’s last five fiscal years, or any currently proposed transactions, or series of similar transactions, to which we or any of our subsidiaries was or is to be a party and in which any promoter or founder of ours or any member of the immediate family of any of the foregoing persons, had an interest.


Director Independence

 

Our Board of Directors is currently composed of three members, two of whom do not qualify as independent directors in accordance with the published listing requirements of the NASDAQ Global Market (the Company has no plans to list on the NASDAQ Global Market). The NASDAQ independence definition includes a series of objective tests, such as that the director is not, and has not been for at least three years, one of our employees and that neither the director, nor any of his family members has engaged in various types of business dealings with us. In addition, our Board of Directors have not made a subjective determination, as to our directors, that no relationships exist which, in the opinion of our Board of Directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director, though such subjective determination is required by the NASDAQ rules. Had our Board of Directors made these determinations, our Board of Directors would have reviewed and discussed information provided by our directors and us with regard to our directors’ business and personal activities and relationships as they may relate to us and our management.


Item 8.  Legal Proceedings


There are no material pending legal proceedings, other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to the business, to which Reflect or any of its subsidiaries is a party or of which any of their properties is the subject.


Item 9.  Market Price of and Dividends on the Registrant’s Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters

Our future dividend policy cannot be ascertained with any certainty. There are no material restrictions limiting, or that are likely to limit, our ability to pay dividends on our securities.

Item 10.  Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities


During the last three years, we have not sold any unregistered securities.


Item 11.  Description of Registrant’s Securities to be Registered

 

Our authorized capital stock consists of 100,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share.  As of March 17, 2021, there were 84,739,086 shares of common stock outstanding and no shares of preferred stock outstanding.  The following is a description of the material terms of our securities.


Common Stock


Holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote per share with respect to each matter presented to our stockholders on which the holders of common stock are entitled to vote. Subject to the rights of the holders of any preferred stock we may designate or issue in the future, or as may otherwise be required by law or our articles of incorporation, our common stock is our only common stock entitled to vote in the election of directors and on all other matters presented to our stockholders. The common stock does not have cumulative voting rights or preemptive rights. Subject to the prior rights of holders of preferred stock, if any, holders of our common stock are entitled to receive dividends as may be lawfully declared from time to time by our board of directors. Upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, whether voluntary or involuntary, holders of our common stock will be entitled to receive such assets as are available for distribution to our stockholders after there shall have been paid, or set apart for payment, the full amounts necessary to satisfy any preferential or participating rights to which the holders of any outstanding series of preferred stock are entitled.


Preferred Stock


Our board of directors is authorized to issue preferred stock in one or more series and, with respect to each series, to determine the preferences, rights, qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof, including the dividend rights, conversion rights, voting rights, redemption rights and terms, liquidation preferences, sinking fund provisions, the number of shares constituting the series and the designation of such series.


We had previously authorized and issued a Series A Preferred Stock.  All shares issued under the Series A preferred stock were subsequently converted into shares of common stock and there are no shares of preferred stock outstanding.


Item 12.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers


Section 16-10a-902 (1) of the Revised Business Corporation Act (the “Utah Law”) authorizes a Utah corporation to indemnify any director against liability incurred in any proceeding if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in



18




or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.


Section 16-10a-902 (4) prohibits a Utah corporation from indemnifying a director in a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation in which the director was adjudged liable to the corporation or in a proceeding in which the director was adjudged liable on the basis that he or she improperly received a personal benefit.   Otherwise, Section 16-10a-902 (5) allows indemnification for reasonable expenses incurred in connection with a proceeding by or in the right of a corporation.


Unless limited by the Articles of Incorporation, which our Articles do not limit, Section 16-10a-905 authorizes a director to apply for indemnification to the court conducting the proceeding or another court of competent jurisdiction.   Section 16-10a-907 (1) extends this right to officers of a corporation as well.


Unless limited by the Articles of Incorporation, which our Articles do not limit, Section 16-10a-903 requires that a corporation indemnify a director who was successful, on the merits or otherwise, in defending any proceeding to which he or she was a party against reasonable expenses incurred in connection therewith.   Section 16-10a-907 (1) extends this protection to officers of a corporation as well.


Pursuant to Section 16-10a-904(1), the corporation may advance a director’s expenses incurred in defending any proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking and a written affirmation of his or her good faith belief that he or she has met the standard of conduct specified in Section 16-10a-902.   Unless limited by the Articles of Incorporation, Section 16-10a-907 (2) extends this protection to officers, employees, fiduciaries and agents of a corporation as well.


Regardless of whether a director, officer, employee, fiduciary or agent has the right to indemnity under the Utah Revised Business Corporation Act, Section 16-10a-908 allows the corporation to purchase and maintain insurance on his or her behalf against liability resulting from his or her corporate role.


There are no provisions in our Articles of Incorporation that protect or indemnify our directors or executive officers beyond what is permitted by Utah Law as summarized above.


Our bylaws provide that we may indemnify our officers and directors and may advance all expenses incurred to any director who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he is or was our director or officer, or is or was serving at our request as a director or executive officer of another company, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, prior to the final disposition of the proceeding, promptly following request. This advancement of expenses is to be made upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such person to repay said amounts should it be ultimately determined that the person was not entitled to be indemnified under our bylaws or otherwise. The Board of Directors may authorize Reflect Scientific to indemnify and advance expense to any officer, employee, or agent of Reflect Scientific who is not a director to the extent permitted by law.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Reflect Scientific, Inc. and subsidiaries (“the Company”) as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2020 and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2020, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.


Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits.  We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.


We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.


Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks.  Such procedures included examining on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.  


Critical Audit Matters

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) related to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgements. The communication of critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.


Evaluation of a Going Concern


Critical Audit Matter Description

As noted in the Company’s 2019 Form 10-K, the Company had suffered recurring losses from operations, which raised substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.   In 2020, the Company: (1)  earned positive net income of $660,115 and projects further recurring profits in future years; (2) had increased revenues year over year of 74% and managements expectation is for continued revenue growth; and (3) ended 2020 with positive working capital of $1,203,080 at year end.  When considering these factors in conjunction with the Company’s operating plan, management believes it has sufficient ability to fund operations and satisfy the Company’s obligations as they come due for at least one year from the financial statement issuance date.  







23




How the Critical Audit Matter was Addressed in the Audit

We determined the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is a critical audit matter due to the estimation and execution uncertainty regarding the Company’s future cash flows and its impact on capital needs and the risk of bias in management’s judgments and assumptions in their determination.


Our audit procedures related to the Company’s assertion on its ability to continue as a going concern included the following, among others:

 

·

We performed testing procedures such as analytical procedures to identify conditions and events that indicate there could be substantial doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.

·

We tested the reasonableness of management’s assessment of whether the Company has sufficient liquidity to fund operations for at least one year from the financial statement issuance date.

·

We inquired of Company management and reviewed company records to assess whether there are additional factors that contribute to the uncertainties disclosed.

REFLECT SCIENTIFIC, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2020 and 2019


NOTE 1 -

ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS


Reflect Scientific, Inc. (“the Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Utah on November 3, 1999 as Cole, Inc. 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 is engaged in the manufacture and distribution of innovative products targeted at the life sciences 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 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.  


NOTE 2 -

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


a. Accounting Method


The Company’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.


b. Revenue Recognition


We sell our specialty science and environmental lab supplies through direct sales and through distributor relationships.  We sell our ultra-low temperature freezers through consultants and commission-only sales personnel.   Revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods based on the consideration we expect to receive in exchange for these goods. This core principle is achieved through the following steps:


Identify the contract with the customer. A contract with a customer exists when (i) we enter into an enforceable contract with a customer that defines each party’s rights regarding the goods to be transferred and identifies the payment terms related to these goods, (ii) the contract has commercial substance and, (iii) we determine that collection of substantially all consideration for services that are transferred is probable based on the customer’s intent and ability to pay the promised consideration. We do not have significant costs to obtain contracts with customers.


Identify the performance obligations in the contract. Generally, our contracts with our laboratory supply customers do not include multiple performance obligations to be completed over a period of time. Our performance obligations generally relate to delivering specialty laboratory products to a customer, subject to the shipping terms of the contract. Limited warranties are provided, under which we typically accept returns and provide either replacement parts or refunds. We do not have significant returns. We do not typically offer extended warranty or service plans.


Ultra-low temperature freezers sold to customers are built to order.  Generally, 50% of the value of the contract is paid by the customer prior to work beginning on manufacturing the freezer.  Upon completion of manufacturing and testing the customer will then sign an acceptance of the unit and make payment of the remaining balance on the contract, at which time title passes to the customer.  The units are FOB shipping point.  The customer may either arrange to transport the unit with a



30




carrier they use or ask the Company to arrange such shipment, the charges of which are the responsibility of the customer.  A customer may, after accepting the unit, request that it be upgraded with additional hardware or software options.  Those options are installed under a new contract, with the deposit and final payment requirements being the same as on the original order.


Determine the transaction price. Payment by the customer is due under customary fixed payment terms, and we evaluate if collectability is probable. None of our contracts as of December 31, 2020 contained a significant financing component.


Allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract. We typically do not have multiple performance obligations in our laboratory supply contracts with customers. As such, we generally recognize revenue upon transfer of the product to the customer's control at contractually stated pricing.  The freezers likewise do not have milestone or percentage of completion clauses in the contract, so revenue is only recognized when the work has been completed.


Recognize revenue when or as we satisfy a performance obligation. We generally satisfy performance obligations at a point in time upon shipment of goods, or, with our freezers, upon final acceptance of the unit by the customer, in accordance with the terms of each contract with the customer. We do not have significant service revenue. 


Contract Balances We have elected to use the practical expedient in ASC 340-40-25-4 (regarding recognition of the incremental costs of obtaining a contact) for costs related to contracts that are estimated to be completed within one year. In other word, we do not have any material accrued contract costs; however, we do require customer deposits to be made on freezer purchases. As of December 31, 2020, we have $113,643 of contract liabilities related to these customer deposits and no contract assets.


A part of our customer base is made up of international customers.  The following table presents Reflect Scientific revenues disaggregated by region and product type:

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 an original maturity of 90 days or less to be cash equivalents.  


e. Accounts Receivable


The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts 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.  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



31




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 $0, respectively, to bad debt expense for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. As the Company has historically experienced minimal bad debts, management feels the allowance for doubtful accounts balance of $4,000 at December 31, 2020 to be an adequate reserve based on the experience seen over multiple years.


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 average cost inventory method.  The Company’s inventory consists of parts for scientific vial kits, refrigerant gases, components for the imaging and inspection systems which it builds, and other scientific items. We review inventories at least quarterly record provisions for estimated excess, slow moving, and obsolete inventory as inventory with a carrying value in excess of net realizable value.  The Company recorded $106,044 and $86,339 in the inventory allowance for the years 2020 and 2019, respectively.


h. Cost of Sales


Charges to cost of sales are made on a first in first out method (FIFO).  In addition to the component costs, some labor costs are allocated to cost of goods for the direct labor utilized to build the sub-assemblies and the finished goods.


i. Advertising Expense


The Company follows the policy of charging the costs of advertising to expense as incurred.  The Company recognized $22,175 and $53,393 of advertising expense during the years ended December 31, 2020, and 2019, respectively.


j. Newly Issued Accounting Pronouncements


In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, “Compensation — Stock Compensation (Topic 718),” (“ASU 2018-07”). ASU 2018-07 is intended to reduce cost and complexity of financial reporting for non-employee share-based payments. Currently, the accounting requirements for non-employee and employee share-based payments are significantly different. ASU 2018-07 expands the scope of Topic 718, which currently only includes share-based payments to employees, to include share-based payments to non-employees for goods or services. Consequently, the accounting for share-based payments to non-employees and employees will be substantially aligned. This ASU supersedes Subtopic 505-50, “Equity — Equity-Based Payments to Nonemployees”. The amendments to ASU 2018 - 07 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than a company’s adoption date of ASU No. 2014-09, (Topic 606), “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”. The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2020.  The implementation of this accounting treatment had no effect on our consolidated financial statements.


In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, “Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment,” which removes Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test and replaces the qualitative assessment. Impairment will be measured using the difference between the carrying amount and the fair value of the reporting unit. Under this revised guidance, failing Step 1 will always result in a goodwill impairment. The amendments in this update should be applied prospectively for annual and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for goodwill impairment tests with measurement dates after January 1, 2017. The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2020.  The implementation of this accounting treatment had no effect on our consolidated financial statements.


The Company has reviewed all other FASB-issued ASU accounting pronouncements and interpretations thereof that have effective dates during the period reported and in future periods.  The Company has carefully considered the new pronouncements that alter previous GAAP and does not believe that any new or modified principles will have a material



32




impact on the company’s reported financial position or operations in the near term.  The applicability of any standard is subject to the formal review of the Company’s financial management and certain standards are under consideration.


k. Earnings per Share


The computation of basic earnings per share of common stock is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted-average number of common shares and dilutive common stock equivalents during the period.  Common stock equivalents are not used in calculating dilutive EPS when their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.  At December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company had no common stock equivalents.

l. Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs


The Company records all shipping and handling costs in cost of goods.  Freight paid on outgoing shipments in 2020 and 2019 was $81,089 and $36,705, respectively.

 

m. Income Taxes


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


The Company’s policy is to recognize potential interest and penalties accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits within income tax expense.  For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, 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, 2020 and 2019 relating to unrecognized benefits.


n. Principles of consolidation


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


o. 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 ASC 730, 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 $185,295 and $210,014 in research and product development for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

p. Stock-Based Compensation


The Company, in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation, records all share-based payments to employees at the grant-date fair value of the equity instruments issued. In accordance with ASC 718-10-30-9, Measurement Objective – Fair Value at Grant Date, the Company uses the closing price of the stock, as quoted by NASDAQ, on the date of the grant.  The Company believes this pricing method provides the best estimate of fair the fair value of the consideration given. Compensation cost is recognized over the requisite service period.


q. 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.  The Company regularly evaluates whether events or circumstances have occurred that indicate possible impairment and relies on a number of factors, including operating results, business plans, economic projections, and anticipated future cash flows. The Company uses an estimate of the future undiscounted net cash flows of the related asset or asset group over the remaining life in measuring whether the assets are recoverable. Measurement of the amount of impairment, if any, is based upon the difference between the asset’s carrying value and estimated fair value. Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques, including cost-based, market and income approaches as considered necessary.


r. Goodwill


Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price of the JMST assets acquired over the fair value of net assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized but instead is tested for impairment, at a reporting unit level, annually and when events and circumstances warrant an evaluation. The Company evaluates goodwill on an annual basis, as of the end of the fourth quarter, and whenever events and changes in circumstances indicate that there may be a potential impairment. In making this assessment, management relies on a number of factors, including operating results, business plans, economic projections, anticipated future cash flows, business trends and market conditions. Accordingly, the Company recorded no impairment of goodwill for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.


s. Leases


The Company, in accordance with ASC 862, accounts for leases as right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet.  The Company elected not to separate lease and non-lease components, but to treat as single lease costs.  We estimate our incremental borrowing rate, which is defined as the interest rate we would pay to borrow on a collateralized basis, considering such factors as length of lease term and the risks of the economic environment in which the leased asset  operates.  The lease term used to calculate ROU assets and lease liabilities only includes renewal and termination options that are deemed reasonably certain to be exercised.
