PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
This summary highlights information contained in this prospectus and may not contain all of the information that should be considered prior to investing in our shares. We encourage you to read this prospectus in its entirety, with particular attention to the information under Risk Factors and our consolidated financial statements and related notes included in this prospectus.
Our Business
Reflect Scientific is engaged in the manufacture and distribution of products targeted at the life science market. Our customers include hospitals and diagnostic laboratories, pharmaceutical and biotech companies, universities, government and private sector research facilities as well as chemical and industrial companies.
Reflect Scientific 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 and currently our wholly-owned subsidiary, changed our name to Reflect Scientific, Inc. and succeeded to the business operations of Reflect Scientific, Inc., which involves the manufacture and distribution of 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. Since the acquisition of our lifescience business, we have acquired several other companies in an effort to expand our product lines and expertise.
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 in 2006 and 2007, we now offer a greatly expanded line of products that take advantage of market needs. Our growing product portfolio includes ultra low temperature freezers and chemical detectors, in addition to supplying OEM products to the life science industry.
Our Visacon brand chemical detectors provide our OEM customers a cost effective detection product that allows them to extend their markets. Detectors use patented optical detection technologies that can be tailored for pharmaceutical, biotechnology or other life science applications.
Our Cryometrix brand ultra low temperature freezers innovative design enables our customers to save on energy costs related to cryogenic storage. Ultra low temperature freezers are used world wide for the storage of vaccines, DNA, RNA, proteins and many other biological and chemical samples. There is a growing need for energy efficient, reliable ultra low temperature storage units. We will, hopefully, continue to expand into this growing market with the Cryometrix freezer.
About Us
We were incorporated in 1999 in Utah. Our principal office is located at 1270 South 1380 West, Orem, Utah 84058. Our telephone number at this location is (801) 226-4100. We also maintain a regional office in San Jose, California and Bozemen, Montana.

Issuance of Securities to the Selling Stockholders
On June 29, 2007, pursuant to a securities purchase agreement, we issued to several institutional investors convertible debentures in the aggregate principal amount of $2,500,000 and stock purchase warrants, comprised of 1,923,077 Class A Warrants and 1,923,077 Class B Warrants, exercisable over a five year period into an aggregate of 3,846,154 shares of common stock. vFinance Investments, Inc. acted as a placement agent for the offering.
The debentures have a maturity date of June 29, 2009, and, upon issuance, accrued interest at a rate of 12% per annum. Payment of principal under the debentures was due on the maturity date and interest was due on a quarterly basis. The principal amount of the debentures is convertible into common stock of the Company. Upon issuance, interest was payable at the option of the Company to the Investors either in cash or in registered common stock at a fifteen percent (15%) discount to the market price. At the closing, the Company prepaid the first two quarterly interest payments out of proceeds of the offering from escrow. The conversion price of the debentures is $0.65 per share yielding an aggregate total of possible shares to be issued as a result of conversion as of the closing of 3,846,154 shares. The principal amount of the debentures could not be prepaid without the consent of the holders. The Company failed to repay the outstanding principal amount of $2,300,000 on the debentures on the maturity date due to a lack of available funds, and the debentures are currently in default. The Company is currently in negotiations with the debenture holders. The exercise price of the Class A Warrants is $0.80 per share; and the exercise price of the Class B Warrants is $1.00 per share.
The debentures and the warrants have anti-dilution protections, and the Company has agreed to certain registration rights for the resale of the shares of common stock underlying the debentures and warrants, pursuant to a registration rights agreement entered into simultaneously with the transaction. On August 28, 2007, we filed such registration statement which was declared effective by the SEC on December 21, 2007 registering the shares underlying the debentures and the shares issuable upon payment of interest on the debentures.
Summary of Financial Information
We reported revenues of $1,508,246 and a net loss of $927,711 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2009. At March 31, 2009, we had cash and cash equivalents of $240,370 and a working capital deficit of $491,443, which represented a decrease in working capital of $754,722 from the amount reported at December 31, 2008, of approximately $263,279.

BALANCE SHEET DATA
RISK FACTORS
An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk, and should not be made by anyone who cannot afford to lose their entire investment. You should consider carefully the risks set forth in this section, together with the other information contained in this prospectus, before making a decision to invest in our common stock. Our business, operating results and financial condition could be seriously harmed and you could lose your entire investment if any of the following risks were to occur.
Risks Related to our Business
We are currently losing money and we will need to reduce our losses if we are to survive.
For the three months ended March 31, 2009, we had a net loss of $927,711 on revenues of $1,508,246. For the year ended December 31, 2008, we had a net loss on revenues of $10,126,805. We cannot continue to cover the current losses and are striving to reduce the losses. If we are not successful in increasing revenues and/or reducing cost, there will be a substantial question as to our long term viability.
We are currently in default on our outstanding debentures.
Our 12% Senior Convertible Debentures, issued on June 29, 2007, matured on June 29, 2009. The Company failed to repay the outstanding principal amount of $2,300,000 on the debentures on the maturity date due to a lack of available funds, and the debentures are currently in default. Without the consent of the debenture holders to restructure these debentures, extend their term or raise capital to pay off these debentures, our operations would be materially impacted, and the debenture holders could conceivably have the ability to force us into involuntary bankruptcy. The Company is currently in negotiations with the debenture holders to renegotiate the terms of the debentures. However, there is no assurance we will renegotiate the terms of the debentures or raise the funds needed to repay the debentures.
Our business consists of multiple companies that were brought together and the integration of the diverse product line and work force may be difficult and in the end may be unsuccessful.
Our business model for the last two and a half years was focused on the acquisition of several companies that we believed had niche products with competitive advantages over existing products on the marketplace. Most of the companies we acquired had products in the very early stage of commercialization. As a result of our acquisitions which were only completed during the first quarter of 2007, our management is stretched and integrating the different companies has been time consuming. We are looking to hire additional personnel, but have not had the resources to make this commitment until recently. Our future success with these diverse companies is still unknown and an investor in Reflect Scientific will not have a track record to analyze in making a decision on if we are a good investment and if we will be successful integrating these acquisitions.
Our lack of capital limits our ability to compete in the market place, which can adversely affect our market share, revenue and gross margins.
Many of our competitors are substantially larger and better financed than we are. We continue to lose money. Accordingly, we are limited in our ability to provide the marketing and research and development dollars that many of our competitors are able to invest. We are hopeful with the completion of our last acquisition, some administrative expenses will be reduced particularly associated with legal, accounting and consulting cost; however,
3
even with reductions in these categories we must start making money to be able to invest the dollars needed to stay competitive in the marketplace. If revenues do not improve, we may have to seek additional financing and there can be no assurance additional capital will be available.
Several of our key products are in the early phase of commercialization so their long-term acceptance by the marketplace is unknown, and if they are not accepted, our ability to continue will be questionable.
Several of our products, including our freezers and detectors, have only recently been introduced on a commercial basis to the marketplace. Although we are hopeful on the products long-term acceptance, at this time, there is no assurance that they will be accepted by the marketplace or that there will not be another product which supersedes them before they can obtain a foothold. Much of our future success is dependent on these freezers and detectors
and if they are not successful, our long term profitability will be very questionable. Investors in Reflect Scientific will not have the advantage of being able to look to a mature product or long-term revenue streams when making an investment decision.
The nature of our refrigerator product line creates potential liability if the refrigerator does not perform or malfunctions since they hold permissible items.
Our ultra low temperature refrigerators are designed to hold items which require extremely low temperatures. If these low temperatures are not maintained, the items inside can be destroyed. These refrigerators often hold items such as blood, plasma and other scientific compounds which must be maintained at extremely low temperatures and our often very valuable. If our refrigerators dont maintain these low temperatures, the items inside will be lost which could result in potential claims for reimbursement. We currently carry product liability insurance but there is no assurance the insurance will be able to cover all potential losses.
Our inability to adequately retain or protect our employees, customer relationships and proprietary technology could harm our ability to compete.
Our future success and ability to compete depends in part upon our employees and their customer relationships, as well as our proprietary technology and patents, which we attempt to protect with combination of patent, trademark and trade secret claims as well as with our confidentiality procedures and employee contract provisions. These legal protections afford only limited protection and are time consuming and expensive to maintain. Further, despite our efforts, we may not prevent third parties from soliciting our employees or customers or infringing upon or misappropriating our intellectual property. Our employees, customer relationships and intellectual property may not provide us with a competitive advantage adequate to prevent the competitors from entering the markets for our products and services. Additionally, our competitors, which are larger and better financed, could independently develop non-infringing technologies that are competitive with, and equivalent or superior to our technology.
The departure of certain key personnel could affect the financial condition of Reflect Scientific due to the loss of their expertise and customer relationships.
Certain key employees, primarily Kim Boyce and Tom Tait, are very closely involved in our business and have day-to-day relationships with critical customers. One of the key aspects in the purchase of our initial technology was the ability to obtain the employees responsible for developing our technology. The loss of these employees would severely hinder our ability to develop new products and improve on existing products and technology. Competition for highly skilled business, product development, technical and other personnel is intense, and we may not be successful in recruiting new personnel or in retaining our existing personnel. With the size and funding advantages enjoyed by our competitors, it may be difficult to keep key employees, particularly those in the scientific fields. A failure on our part to retain the services of these key personnel could have a material adverse effect on our operating results and financial conditions. We do not maintain key man life insurance on any of our employees. Although we do maintain employment contracts with key employees, these contracts may not be sufficient to keep the employees from leaving.
We face numerous competitors and as a result, we may not get the business we seek.
We have many competitors with comparable technology and capabilities that compete for the same group of customers. Our competitors are competent and experienced and are continuously working to take projects away from us. Many of our competitors have greater financial, technical, marketing and other resources than we do. Our ability to compete effectively may be adversely affected by the ability of these competitors to devote greater resources to the sale and marketing of their products and services.
4
We are a small company that relies on a few significant employees to ensure that our business operates efficiently. If we were to lose one of these employees it would effect our business operations and we would experience difficulty in replacing one of these employees.
Other larger companies have greater capital resources and therefore greater recruitment capability than Reflect Scientific. This may limit our ability to hire new talent and retain current employees. We have a very small staff of executives and significant employees. We rely on our executive officers, senior management and significant employees to ensure our business operates efficiently. The loss of such an employee could harm our business. We believe that our success in this business depends on our ability to continue to attract and retain highly skilled and knowledgeable staff.
Risks Related to our Common Stock
Trading in our common stock is limited
Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board. The OTC Bulletin Board is a significantly more limited market than the New York Stock Exchange or NASDAQ system. The quotation of our shares on the OTC Bulletin Board may result in a less liquid market available for existing and potential stockholders to trade shares of our common stock which could depress the trading price of our common stock and could have a long-term adverse impact on our ability to raise capital in the future.
Our issuances of shares in connection with exercises of the Series A and B Warrants and conversions of the Debentures likely will result in overall dilution to market value and relative voting power of previously issued common stock, which could result in substantial dilution to the value of shares held by shareholders prior to sales under this prospectus.
The issuance of common stock in connection with exercises of the Series A and B Warrants and conversions of the Debentures by the Selling Shareholders may result in substantial dilution to the equity interests of holders of our common stock other than the Selling Shareholders. Specifically, the issuance of a significant amount of additional common stock will result in a decrease of the relative voting control of our common stock issued and outstanding prior to the issuance of common stock in connection with exercises of the Series A and B Warrants and conversions of the Debentures. Furthermore, public resales of our common stock by the Selling Shareholders following the issuance of common stock in connection with exercises of the Series A and B Warrants and conversions of the Debentures likely will depress the prevailing market price of our common stock. Even prior to the time of actual exercises, conversions, and public resales, the market overhang resulting from the mere existence of our obligation to honor such conversions or exercises could depress the market price of our common stock, which could make it more difficult for existing investors to sell their shares of our common stock, and could reduce the amount they would receive on such sales.
There is an increased potential for short sales of our common stock due to the sales of shares issued to the Selling Shareholders in connection with the Series A and B Warrants and the Debentures, which could materially effect the market price of our stock.
Downward pressure on the market price of our common stock that likely will result from sales of our common stock by the Selling Shareholders issued in connection with exercises of the Series A and B Warrants and conversions of the Debentures could encourage short sales of common stock by the Selling Shareholders or others. A short sale is defined as the sale of stock by an investor that the investor does not own. Typically, investors who sell short believe that the price of the stock will fall, and anticipate selling at a price higher than the price at which they will buy the stock. Significant amounts of such short selling could place further downward pressure on the market price of our common stock, which could make it more difficult for existing shareholders to sell their shares.
The restrictions on the number of shares issued upon exercise of the Series A and B Warrants and on conversion of the Debentures may have little if any effect on the adverse impact of our issuance of shares in connection with exercise of the Series A and B Warrants and conversion of the Debentures, and as such, the Selling Shareholders may sell a large number of shares, resulting in substantial dilution to the value of shares held by our existing shareholders.
The Selling Shareholders are prohibited, except in certain circumstances, from exercising the Series A and B Warrants and converting amounts of the Debentures to the extent that the issuance of shares would cause any Selling
5
Shareholder to beneficially own more than 4.99% of our then outstanding common stock. These restrictions, however, do not prevent any Selling Shareholder from selling shares of common stock received in connection with an exercise or conversion, and then receiving additional shares of common stock in connection with a subsequent exercise or conversion. In this way, a Selling Shareholder could sell more than 4.99% of the outstanding common stock in a relatively short time frame while never holding more than 4.99% at one time. As a result, existing shareholders and new investors could experience substantial dilution in the value of their shares of our common stock.
The trading market for our common stock is limited, and investors who purchase shares from the Selling Shareholders may have difficulty selling their shares.
The public trading market for our common stock is limited. As of the date of this prospectus, our common stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board. Nevertheless, an established public trading market for our common stock may never develop or, if developed, it may not be able to be sustained. The OTCBB is an unorganized, inter-dealer, over-the-counter market that provides significantly less liquidity than other markets. Purchasers of our common stock therefore may have difficulty selling their shares should they desire to do so.
It may be more difficult for us to raise funds in subsequent stock offerings as a result of the sales of our common stock by the Selling Shareholders in connection with the Series A and B Warrants, the Debentures.
As noted above, sales by the Selling Shareholders likely will result in substantial dilution to the holdings and interest of current and new shareholders. Additionally, as noted above, the volume of shares sold by the Selling Shareholders could depress the market price of our stock. These factors could make it more difficult for us to raise additional capital through subsequent offerings of our common stock, which could have a material adverse effect on our operations.
We are considered a penny-stock company, which may limit the market for our common equity securities.
Our common stock is quoted on the OTCBB and currently trades below $5.00 per share. For much of our history our shares have been treated as "penny stock" within the definition of that term contained in Rules 15g-1 through 15g-9 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These rules impose sales practices and disclosure requirements on certain broker-dealers who engage in certain transactions involving penny stocks. These additional sales practices and disclosure requirements could impede the sale of our securities, including securities purchased herein, in the secondary market. In general, penny stocks are low priced securities that do not have a very high trading volume. Consequently, the price of the stock is volatile and you may not be able to buy or sell the stock when you want. Accordingly, the liquidity for our securities may be adversely affected, with related adverse effects on the price of our securities.
Under the penny stock regulations, a broker-dealer selling penny stocks to anyone other than an established customer or accredited investor" (generally, an individual with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 together with his or her spouse) must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and must receive the purchasers written consent to the transaction prior to the sale, unless the broker-dealer is otherwise exempt. In addition, unless the broker-dealer or the transaction is otherwise exempt, the penny stock regulations require the broker-dealer to deliver, prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prepared by the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to the penny stock. A broker-dealer is also required to disclose commissions payable to the broker-dealer and the Registered Representative and current quotations for the securities. A broker-dealer is additionally required to send monthly statements disclosing recent price information with respect to the penny stock held in a customer's account and information with respect to the limited market in penny stocks.
The market for our common stock is limited and there are no assurances an active market for our common stock will ever develop. Accordingly, purchasers of our common stock cannot be assured any liquidity in their investment.
You will not receive dividend payments.
We have not paid and do not plan to pay dividends in the foreseeable future even if our operations are profitable. Additionally, under the terms of the Debentures, we are not permitted to pay a dividend while they are outstanding. Earnings, if any, will be used to expand our operations, hire additional staff, pay operating expenses and salaries, rather than to make distributions to shareholders. Future value of an investment will be tied to an increase in Reflect Scientifics enterprise value and/or market price of our common stock, if trading on an exchange or market.
6
We may issue more stock without shareholder input or consent which could dilute the book value of your investment.
The board of directors has authority, without action by or vote of the shareholders, to issue all or part of the authorized but unissued shares. In addition, the board of directors has authority, without action by or vote of the shareholders, to fix and determine the rights, preferences, and privileges of the preferred stock, which may be given voting rights superior to that of the common stock in this offering. Any issuance of additional shares of common stock or preferred stock will dilute the ownership percentage of shareholders and may further dilute the book value
of Reflect Scientifics shares. It is likely we will seek additional capital in the future to fund operations. Any future capital will most likely reduce investors in this offerings percentage of ownership.
Current management owns most of the shares and will control Reflect Scientific.
Current managers own 22,329,250 shares of common stock or 55.9% of the issued and outstanding shares. As a result, management will most likely be in a position to elect the Board of Directors, to dissolve, merge or sell our assets, and to direct our business affairs without shareholder input or consent. Until all of the Debentures are converted and Warrants exercised, current management will continue to be able to be in control on any matters submitted to a shareholder vote.

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Some of the statements under "Prospectus Summary," "Risk Factors," "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," and elsewhere in this prospectus constitute forward-looking statements. These statements involve risks known to us, significant uncertainties, and other factors which 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 those forward-looking statements.
You can identify forward-looking statements by the use of the words "may," "will," "should," "could," "expects," "plans," "anticipates," "believes," "estimates," "predicts," "intends," "potential," "proposed," or "continue" or the negative of those terms. These statements are only predictions. In evaluating these statements, you should specifically consider various factors, including the risks outlined above. These factors may cause our actual results to differ materially from any forward-looking statement.
Although we believe that the exceptions reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements.
Use of Proceeds
We will not receive any proceeds upon the resale of shares by the selling security holders. Any proceeds that we receive will be from the selling security holders upon the exercise of the outstanding warrants. We will use these proceeds for general working capital. The actual allocation of proceeds realized from the exercise of these warrants will depend upon the amount and timing of such exercises, our operating revenues and cash position at such time and our working capital requirements. There can be no assurances that any of the outstanding warrants will be exercised.
Determination of Offering Price
Our common stock will be offered by the selling security holder in amounts, at prices, and on terms to be determined in light of market conditions at the time of sale. The shares may be resold directly by the selling stockholders in the open market at prevailing prices or through negotiations between selling shareholder and prospective buyer or through agents, underwriters, or dealers. We will not control or determine the price at which the shares are sold.
Managements Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operations
Certain statements in this prospectus constitute forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such a difference include, among others, uncertainties relating to general economic and business conditions; industry trends; changes in demand for our products and services; uncertainties relating to customer plans and commitments and the timing of orders received from customers; announcements or changes in our pricing policies or that of our competitors; unanticipated delays in the development, market acceptance or installation of our products and services; changes in government regulations; availability of management and other key personnel; availability, terms and deployment of capital; relationships with third-party equipment suppliers; and worldwide political stability and economic growth. The words "believe", "expect", "anticipate", "intend" and "plan" and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date the statement was made.
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 Condensed Consolidated 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. Reflect Scientific believes there have been no significant changes during the three months ended March 31, 2009, to the items disclosed as significant accounting policies in management's Notes to the audited financial statements included in this prospectus.
8
Reflect Scientifics accounting policies are more fully described in Note 2 of the audited consolidated financial statements included in this prospectus. 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 resultscould differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Reflect Scientific believes that the following addresses Reflect Scientifics most critical accounting policies.
We recognize revenue in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, Revenue Recognition (SAB 104). Under SAB 104, revenue is recognized at the point of passage to the customer of title and risk of loss, when there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, the sales price is determinable, and collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. We recognize revenue as services are provided with specific long lead time orders.
The Company recognizes revenue on long-term contracts using the percentage-of-completion method. We generally recognize revenue using the percentage-of-completion method for original equipment that requires a minimum of six months to produce. When using the percentage-of-completion method, sales and gross profit are recognized as work is performed based on the relationship between actual costs incurred and total estimated costs at completion. Estimated losses are recognized in full when identified. The asset, costs and estimated earnings in excess of contract billings on uncompleted contracts represents revenues recognized in excess of amounts billed. The liability, contract billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts, represents billings in excess of revenues recognized.
Our allowance for doubtful accounts is maintained to provide for losses arising from customers inability to make required payments. If there is deterioration of our customers credit worthiness and/or there is an increase in the length of time that the receivables are past due greater than the historical assumptions used, additional allowances may be required.
We account for income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes (SFAS No. 109). Under SFAS No. 109, 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.
Intangible assets include trademarks, trade secrets, patents, customer lists and goodwill acquired through acquisitions 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 reviews long-lived assets, at least annually, to determine if impairment has occurred and whether the economic benefit of the asset (fair value for assets to be used and fair value less disposal costs for assets to be disposed) is expected to be less than the carrying value. Triggering events, which signal further analysis, consist of a significant decrease in the assets market value, a substantial change in the use of an asset, a significant physical change in the asset, a significant change in the legal or business climate that could affect the asset, an accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected to acquire or construct the asset, or a history of losses that imply continued losses associated with assets used to generate revenue. No such adjustments were required for the year ended December 31, 2008.
Plan of Operation
Over the next twelve months our focus will be on the commercialization of products acquired and developed over the last several years. Included in this focus will be the continued development and commercialization of our ultra low temperature refrigerator line. Additionally, we will continue to develop and expand our focus on solutions and services to retrofit server and computer rooms to help reduce the cost of cooling such rooms as well as provide a more reliable way to cool such rooms. We also will continue to focus on the expansion of our detector line and contract manufacturing operations.
Managements focus over the last several years was on the acquisition and development of our product lines. Management now feels they have the core product lines in place to now refocus its efforts on the commercialization
9
of the product lines. As such much of the focus over the next twelve months will be on marketing our products and expanding our customer base.
Our revenues decreased from the quarter ended March 31, 2008, from $1,970,279 to $1,508,246 for the quarter ended March 31, 2009. This decrease is due to the general economic downturn and many potential customers postponing large capital expenditures for our product lines. We do not expect this trend to continue in the remaining quarters of 2009. Our products are new to the marketplace and we expect the demand to grow as our products become more familiar. We believe the product lines are becoming commercially accepted and that sales will increase.
We do not anticipate we will emphasize acquisitions as we have in the past and instead will focus on managing our current product line. This will require a focus from management on the sales of these products. We anticipate the future business growth over the next twelve months to come from our current product line.
Results of Operations
Three Months Ended March 31, 2009 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2008
Our revenues decreased during the quarter ended March 31, 2009, to $1,508,246 from $1,970,279 for the quarter ended March 31, 2008. We believe this trend will not continue as our products gain more commercial acceptance.
Our cost of goods decreased in the quarter ending March 31, 2009, as compared to March 31, 2008 to $877,292 from $944,025. The difference was the result of decreased sales. Overall, as a percentage of sales, our cost of goods sold was approximately 58% for the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to 48% for the quarter ended March 31, 2008. We anticipate the cost of goods sold percentage to vary by quarter depending on which products make up the largest percentage of sales during the quarter. Once our products are in the market place longer, our cost of goods sold percentage should become more fixed as a percentage of sales.
Salaries and wages increased to $617,848 during the quarter ended March 31, 2009, compared to $617,261 for the quarter ended March 31, 2008.
With the increase in operating expenses from $1,157,922 for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 to $1,190,013 for the quarter ended March 31, 2009, our operating loss increased to $559,059 from $131,668 for the comparable period in 2008. We expect that as sales start to increase, we will be able to reduce our operating loss this year.
Interest expense was $368,905 for the quarter ended March 31, 2009. The interest expense related to our debentures is $70,110 for the quarter and $298,795 is related to the amortization of the discounts on the debenture.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our cash resources at March 31, 2009, were $240,370, with accounts receivable of $994,659 and inventory of $768,871. We have relied on revenues and sales of equity and debt securities for cash resources. Our working capital surplus/(deficit) on March 31, 2009, was $(491,443) compared to $263,279 on December 31, 2008. To complete acquisitions and to fund our expanding operations, much of the working capital was used in the first part of 2007 requiring us to raise additional capital which was completed in June 2007. This capital was used to increase our manufacturing resulting in increased inventory. We hope to devote some of the available cash to marketing to help increase sales over the next twelve months.
Historically, we have financed our working capital requirements through capital funding which have generated sufficient funds to offset shortfalls and cover losses. As we continue to expand our operations, we anticipate seeking additional capital through the sale of equity securities. It is highly likely, we will again seek additional capital in the equity markets. At this time we do not know the extent of the overall financing we will need in the future. Financing will depend on how well our products are received in the marketplace.
Our long term liabilities were $14,238 on March 31, 2009. This reflects the maturity of our debenture becoming short-term of $2,337,500, although only $2,044,875 is reflected because of the discounts on the debenture. The debentures matured on June 29, 2009. Due to a lack of available funds, the Company failed to repay the principal on the debentures on the maturity date and the debentures are currently in default. The Company is in negotiations with the debenture holders.
For the quarter ended March 31, 2009, our net cash used by operating activities was $219,415 which was up from
10
$77,475 for the quarter ended March 31, 2008.
We anticipate losses to continue as we expand our sales efforts. Since the products are new to the marketplace, we are not sure how sales will be in upcoming quarters but we expect they increase and should start covering our expenses.
Results of Operations
December 31, 2008 and 2007
Our revenues increased during the year ended December 31, 2008, to $10,126,805 from $8,020,266 for the year ended December 31, 2007, primarily as a result of increased business from our acquisitions.
Our cost of goods increased in the period ending December 31, 2008, as compared to December 31, 2007, to $5,500,694 from $4,633,278. The difference is primarily attributed to increased sales. The percentage on gross margins for the two years was essentially unchanged.
General and administrative expenses decreased to $2,998,008 during the year ended December 31, 2008, from $3,447,791 during the year ended December 31, 2007. This was due to our stabilization of our operations and our costs of operations. With this stability and our increase in revenues, our operating loss decreased to $535,033, after the operating loss in 2007 of $5,410,334. In 2007 we expanded operations in an effort to staff anticipated product development and product launches.
With the acquisitions, our salaries increased from $1,752,103 to $1,855,730 from December 31, 2007 to December 31, 2008. We anticipate salaries will increase further as we search for additional management personnel. We anticipate, however, that we will reduce expenses in other areas to somewhat offset future salary increases. One area we are hopeful in reducing expenses is the consulting, legal and accounting cost associated with the acquisitions.
There were expenses associated with the acquisitions in 2007, and as a result, we had a net loss of $2,164,396 for the year ended December 31, 2008, compared to net loss of $7,076,619 for the year ended December 31, 2007. With many of the acquisitions not closing until the first part of 2007, it will be difficult to compare last year's results with future periods or expected results going forward. We anticipate that sales will continue to increase and will be able to offset expenses going forward. Since we are in the initial phases of several product launches and these products are entering into new markets, the time frame until we reach profitability is still unknown.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our cash resources at December 31, 2008, were $447,037, with accounts receivable of $1,005,864 and inventory of $765,589. We have relied on revenues and sales of equity and debt securities for cash resources. As a result of the issuances of debt and common stock, our working capital on December 31, 2008, was $263,279. To complete acquisitions and to fund our expanding operations, much of the working capital was used in the first part of 2007 requiring us to raise additional capital which was completed in June 2007. This capital was used to increase our manufacturing resulting in increased inventory. We hope to devote some of the available cash to marketing to help increase sales over the next twelve months.
In 2008, net cash used by operating activities was $286,105 as opposed to $1,930,313 in 2007. The major changes were the result of the acquisitions and the cost to cover such acquisitions. We were able to offset the use of cash by raising additional equity in 2007. We are hopeful that in 2009, with the additional capital to focus on operations, including marketing, we will be able to reduce our loss for the year.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off balance sheet arrangements as of March 31, 2009.
Seasonality and Cyclicality
We do not believe our business is cyclical.

Description of Business
Overview
We are engaged in the manufacture and distribution of innovative products targeted at the life science market. Our customers include hospitals and diagnostic laboratories, pharmaceutical and biotech companies, universities, government and private sector research facilities as well as 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 in 2006 and 2007, we now offer a greatly expanded line of products that take advantage of market needs. Our growing product portfolio includes ultra low temperature freezers and chemical detectors, in addition to supplying OEM products to the life science industry.
Our Visacon brand chemical detectors provide our OEM customers a cost effective detection product that allows them to extend their markets. Detectors use patented optical detection technologies that can be tailored for pharmaceutical, biotechnology or other life science applications.
Organization
We were 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 and currently our wholly-owned subsidiary, changed our name to Reflect Scientific, Inc. and succeeded to the business operations of Reflect Scientific, Inc., that involved the manufacture and distribution of 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). 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 freezers 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.
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). 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 David Carver, a shareholder of JMST (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 November 15, 2006, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Image Labs Merger Agreement) to acquire Image Acquisition Corp., a Georgia corporation by our wholly-owned subsidiary; Smithgall & Associates, Inc., dba Image Labs International, a Georgia corporation (Image Labs). Established in 1993 and located in Bozeman, Montana, Image Labs is a manufacturer and developer of factory automation equipment. The primary product lines focus in the areas of automated inspection, measurement and material handling. Effective February 28, 2007, the Image Labs Merger Agreement was completed.
On November 17, 2006, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the The All Temp Merger
12
Agreement) between our wholly-owned subsidiary, Cryometrix, Inc. and All Temp Engineering Inc., a California corporation (All Temp). All Temp is located in San Jose, California and has been providing engineered solutions and services to the cryogenics industry for over 23 years. All Temp serves over 1,450 companies in business sectors such as biotech, pharmaceutical, medical devices, research, universities, semiconductor, aerospace, military and industrial food processing. Effective January 19, 2007, the All Temp Merger Agreement was completed.
Business
Reflect Scientific designs, develops and sells scientific equipment for the Life Science and Manufacturing industries. Since our wholly owned subsidiary, Reflect Scientifics, organization in 1991, our focus is and has been on providing value added products, analytic testing equipment and stand alone products for the life science and industrial market place. Reflect Scientifics products range from non-mechanical CyrometrixTM freezers, products and parts for life science industry to tools and analytical services for industrial manufacturing.
All of Reflect Scientifics products and services are developed with one key factor in mind-do they provide a superior cost/benefit to the customer than other products in the same marketspace. With years of experience in the life science and industrial manufacturing markets, Reflect Scientific has been able to develop not only unique patentable products but products that we believe offer immediate advantages and cost savings over any other
competing and existing products on the market.
We have developed a business model with a focus on intellectual expertise in design and development of products and solutions for life science and industrial manufacturing industries. We outsource the majority of our manufacturing allowing us to maintain flexibility to develop products across multiple lines and industries. Our strength is in providing products which we believe offer immediate verifiable cost saving solutions.
We have found many companies that can manufacture products to our specification allowing us to focus on our core competencies of development and design and maintain a flexible corporate structure capable of taking advantage of new opportunities without the large capital investment for tooling and manufacturing equipment. This focus on the intellectual expertise as opposed to manufacturing of products also allows us to develop products along multiple industries and to tailor our products to specific needs in a variety of industrial settings. Our products are sold in the biotechnology, pharmaceutical, medical industries as well as the manufacturing industries such as automotive.
PRODUCTS
Cryometrix Freezers
Our Cryometrix ultra low temperature freezers are, we believe, a technological breakthrough that provides energy savings and other critically important benefits to cryo-storage customers in the Life Science related industries. Ultra low temperature freezers are used in multiple industries for the storage of everything from blood to cancer vaccines. These freezers are used by companies and organizations like the Red Cross, hospitals and biotechnology research facilities.
Currently, the only ultra low temperature freezers are produced by only a few companies and rely on a mechanical process for cooling. Because of inadequacies in the mechanical process, we believe there is wastage of inventory each year because of the problems of proper cooling found in the mechanical freezers.
Our freezers are a complete divergence from the current technology used in ultra low temperature freezers. Through the advantages of our technology, we believe, our freezers solve the current inadequacies resulting in immediate cost savings for our clients. Current cryogenic storage equipment falls short of customer expectations in a variety of key performance criteria.
§
High energy usage a growing problem with rising energy costs
§
Inflexible temperature range existing units cannot be easily modified for colder requirements (colder temperatures are an industry trend)
§
Sample inventory is at risk in the event of a power failure
§
Poor temperature uniformity samples in different areas of the freezer can experience wide variations in temperatures which is undesirable from a regulatory standpoint.
Our Cryometrix ultra low temperature freezer uses a new patented design which is powered by liquid nitrogen.
13
Through the use of a liquid nitrogen powered freezer system we are able to address the market need for:
§
Low energy requirements
§
Flexible temperature control wide range of usable temperatures
§
Power failures have little effect - uses passive liquid nitrogen technology rather than electrically powered compressors.
§
Uniform temperatures throughout freezer more usable storage volume
§
Much larger storage volume per area of floor space occupied reduced facilities cost
§
Reliable and essentially maintenance free; further lowering cost of ownership
We believe existing freezers are outdated and our freezers will be the direction the industry will move offering us a chance to gain a significant market share in this large market.
Detectors
Our chemical detector products serve the analytical instrumentation sector of the Life Sciences market. These optically based chemical detection instruments provide a cost-effective, high-performance alternative for original equipment manufacturers (OEM). One major use for these detectors is the analysis of whole blood for metabolic
diseases.
Companies that manufacture beneficial chemicals or biotechnology products are often required to develop a methodology to detect their presence in the environment or in living tissue. Recent market trends have been toward the creation of a dedicated system that is specific for a particular chemical. As the market expands for dedicated instrumentation, certain critical issues arise.
§
Lack of high quality, high performance OEM instrumentation - large instrument manufacturers sell the service/instrument combination only under their own brand name
§
High price points - instrument company structure does not allow value pricing
Our products provide the building blocks to create such a system. Patented technology provides an array of benefits to the OEM customer.
§
High performance instrumentation - meets or exceeds industry standards for chemical detection
§
Technological breakthroughs provide cost-effective detection instrument solutions
§
Versatile configurations allow tailoring to specific customer need without the necessity for expensive custom engineering
§
Certified by various regulatory agencies for sale worldwide
With the expanding focus on the need for detectors we designed a base system that can be tooled for multiple uses offering flexibility to our customers. We intend to further penetrate the dedicated OEM instrument market through new product development and continued cost reductions in manufacturing to meet price points.
Reflect Scientific is also poised to provide consumables to the same group of customers that purchase detectors. This one stop shopping is very attractive to customers and is unique in the OEM supply industry further making Reflect Scientific the choice for OEMs.
Testing Equipment
Out testing equipment provides automated inspection products and services including part handling and automation to manufacturers of automotive and diesel catalysts and filters, exhaust systems, and OEMs including inspection of in service components such as Diesel Particulate Filters. Although there are several markets that can be addressed with these products the first to be accessed is the automotive industry. The inspection product for this market takes advantage of the increased focus on environmental protection with respect to emissions from gas and diesel engines as well as the increased attention to 100% inspection directives from OEMs. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Tier 2 emission standards on diesel cars and light trucks will be phased in from 2004 2010 and beyond.
14
Through our subsidiary, CATPRO, Inc., we will continue forward with the CATPRO line using its presence in the market and its strength as a product to position itself as a key supplier of automation equipment, inspection equipment and data management solutions.
Competition
The environment for our products and services is intensely competitive. Although the complexity of the products we produce limits the number of companies we compete with, the companies with competing technology are generally larger and often subsidiaries or divisions of very large multinational companies. Our competitors size and association with large multinational companies creates advantages over us in the ability to access potential customers. Many potential customers already purchase products either directly from our competitors or from another subsidiary of these large multinational companies creating natural inroads to sales that we do not possess.
Given our relative size verses our competitors, we often have to seek niche markets for our products or focus on selling components to be used in our competitors larger detection units. We believe, however, that our technology and experience in the ultra low freezers and detectors allows us to be competitive in our markets. However, since our products are new to the marketplace, the products long term commercial acceptance is still unknown. Most of our products compete against multiple competitors with our refrigeration products competing primarily against Thermo Fisher Scientific and Sanyo Corporation.
Growth Plan
We continue to evaluate acquisitions of businesses and technologies to enhance our revenues in the Life Science market. To that end, we recently completed the acquisition of All Temp and Image Labs, and we acquired Cryometrix in June, 2006.
We intend to seek to expand the applications for our products and equipment into additional markets as we develop brand recognition. We hope to be able to leverage off of our existing products and name recognition as we continue forward using our existing offerings and product strength to position us as a key supplier of automation equipment, inspection equipment and cryogenic storage solutions. This strategic plan will also allow for further diversification of our customer base.
All Temp provides service and installation of ultra low temperature freezers and other environmental chambers. A strong synergy with the Cryometrix freezer products also exists. We will be able to further vertically integrate our freezer line of business and gain revenues from service contracts, installations and other services provided by All Temp.
Image Labs expertise is in the field of machine vision and robotics. A key component to product extension of the Cryometrix freezers is automation. Image Labs will provide the necessary technology to create product line extensions that integrate automation into existing products. Larger automated freezer systems are used world wide for the storage of vaccines and tissues and will allow Reflect Scientific to participate in this market.
CatPro, a division of Image Labs, provides automated inspection products and services, including part handling and automation to manufacturers of automotive and diesel catalysts and filters, exhaust systems and OEMs, and inspection of in service components such as Diesel Particulate Filters.
Manufacturing, Supplies, and Quality Control
Many of our products are manufactured by third party manufactures, including our ultra low temperature freezers. We believe by outsourcing our manufacturing we are able to reduce the overall cost of our products. We do manufacture some products which are less labor and parts intensive in our facility in Orem, Utah.
Regulation and Environmental Compliance
Presently, none of our products are in highly regulated industries.
15
Sources and Availability of Raw Materials and Names of Principal Suppliers
Sources and availability of key materials and intermediates continue to remain stable. Where supply is considered a critical success factor for our business, we have certified vendors in place.
Dependence on One or a Few Major Customers
With the recent acquisitions and expansion of our product line, we are not dependent on any large customer.
Need for any Governmental Approval of Principal Products or Services
No products presently being manufactured or sold by us are subject to prior governmental approvals.

Selling Security Holders
On June 29, 2007, Reflect Scientific and the Selling Shareholders executed a securities purchase agreement which involved the sale of 12% Senior Convertible Debentures (the Debentures) and 3,846,154 warrants (Warrants) consisting of 1,923,077 class A and 1,923,077 class B warrants (the Series A and Series B Warrants, respectively). If all Debentures are converted, including interest thereon, and all Warrants are exercised a total of 8,500,000 shares of our common stock would be issued. The closing for this transaction occurred on June 29, 2007. This prospectus, and the registration statement of which it is a part, cover the resales of the shares to be issued to the Selling Shareholders, in connection with shares of common stock issued on exercise of the Warrants.
The following tables provides information about the actual and potential ownership of shares of our common stock by the Selling Shareholders in connection with the exercise of the Series A and B Warrants, and the number of our shares registered for sale in this prospectus. We are contractually obligated to register for resale amounts equal to 100% of the shares issued upon conversion of the Debentures and exercise of the shares issuable upon exercise of the Series A and B Warrants. We previously filed a registration statement covering the shares issuable on conversion of the Debentures. Additionally, shares issuable on exercise of the Debentures would now be available for resale under Rule 144 of the Securities Act. This prospectus and the registration statement of which it is a part covers the resale of up to 3,846,154 shares of our common stock issued or issuable to the Selling Shareholders in connection with exercise of the Series A and B Warrants.
Under the terms and conditions of the Debentures and the Series A and B Warrants, each Selling Shareholder is prohibited from converting the Debentures or exercising the Series A and B Warrants that would cause such Selling Shareholder to beneficially own more than 4.99% of the then-outstanding shares of our common stock following such issuance. This restriction does not prevent any Selling Shareholder from receiving and selling shares and thereafter receiving additional shares. In this way, a Selling Shareholder could sell more than 4.99% of our outstanding common stock in a relatively short time frame while never beneficially owning more than 4.99% of the outstanding Reflect Scientific common stock at any one time. For purposes of calculating the number of shares of common stock issuable to the Selling Shareholders assuming the conversion of the Debentures and the exercise of the full amount of the Series A and B Warrants, as set forth below, the effect of such 4.99% limitation has been disregarded. The number of shares issuable to a Selling Shareholder as described in the table below therefore may exceed the actual number of shares such Selling Shareholder may be entitled to beneficially own under the terms and conditions of the Debenture and Series A and B Warrants. The following information is not determinative of any Selling Shareholders beneficial ownership of our common stock pursuant to Rule 13d-3 or any other provision under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The selling security holders are:

As noted above, the Selling Shareholders are prohibited by the terms of the Debentures and Series A and B Warrants from converting amounts of the Debentures or exercising the Series A Warrants that would cause it to beneficially own more than 4.99% of the then outstanding shares of our common stock. The percentages set forth are not determinative of any Selling Shareholders beneficial ownership of our common stock pursuant to Rule 13d-3 or any other provision under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Inasmuch as the total allowable amount of stock at the 4.99% level is based on the then outstanding share count, these numbers are computed as the minimum amount that would be available to be converted in the event that the only additional issued (then outstanding) shares were the shares issued to the individual Selling Shareholder. The number of shares actually issuable will be subject to the then number of Selling Shareholders that convert the Debentures and exercise the Warrants. All percentages assume 34,961,734 issued and outstanding shares of common stock at July 1, 2009. Percentages assume the conversion only of the individual shareholders ownership position to the issued and outstanding amount.

Interest shares have been calculated based on two years of interest payments paid in shares of common stock. For purposes of calculating the interest to be paid in shares of common stock we have assumed the conversion price of the Debentures of $0.65 as the dollar amount assigned to each share of common stock issued on the payment of interest. The first two quarters interest payments were paid in cash and have been deducted from the interest calculations. Subsequent payments were paid in a combination of cash and common stock and have not been deducted from the interest calculation. Interest is calculated based on 12% per year. We have assumed for all calculations that the entire amount of the Debentures remained outstanding until the maturity date of June 29, 2009. We have assumed an interest payment with shares of our common stock would be made at the conversion price of $0.65 per resulting in a total possible shares of 692,308. As noted above, actual payments were made with a combination of cash and common stock
The selling security holders have never in the past nor currently held a position or office with Reflect Scientific. The selling security holders have not had any material relationship with Reflect Scientific during the last three (3) years.

(1) We have assumed a conversion price of $0.65 as set forth in the Debentures. The conversion price would be reduced if we sold equity securities at less than $0.65 per share. At this time we would not expect to sell shares at below this price. The interest conversion is based on the $0.65 or, if lower 85% of our average trading price.

(1) Upon issuance of the Debentures, interest accrued and was due and payable quarterly at the rate of 12% per annum. The Debentures matured on June 29, 2009. The Company failed to repay the principal on the maturity date and the Debentures are currently in default. The Company is in negotiations with the debenture holders.
Plan of Distribution
The selling security holder may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares of common stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices . The Selling Shareholder may use any of the following methods when selling shares:
(1) Ordinary brokerage transaction and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;
(2) Block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell
a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
(3) Purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;
(4) An exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;
(5) Privately negotiated transactions;
(6) Settlement of short sales entered into after the effective date of the registration statement of which this
prospectus is a part;
(7) Broker-dealers may agree with the Selling Shareholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a
stipulated price per share;
(8) Through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options
exchange or otherwise;
(9) A combination of any such methods of sale; or
(10) Any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.
The Selling Shareholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act), if available, rather than under this prospectus.
The selling security holder may also engage in short sales against the box after this registration statement becomes effective, puts and calls and other transactions in our securities or derivatives of our securities and may sell or deliver shares in connection with these trades.
Broker-dealers engaged by the Selling Shareholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the Selling Shareholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this Prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with NASDR Rule 2440; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with NASDR IM-2440.
In connection with the sale of the common stock or interests therein, the Selling Shareholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the common stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The Selling Shareholders may also sell shares of the common stock short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The Selling Shareholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).
The Selling Shareholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares may be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Each Selling Stockholder has informed the Company that it does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the Common Stock. In no event shall any broker-dealer receive fees, commissions and markups which, in the aggregate, would exceed eight percent (8%).
The Company is required to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by the Company incident to the registration of the shares. The Company has agreed to indemnify the Selling Shareholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
22
Because Selling Shareholders may be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act, they will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act including Rule 172 thereunder. In addition, any securities covered by this prospectus which qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act may be sold under Rule 144 rather than under this prospectus. There is no underwriter or coordinating broker acting in connection with the proposed sale of the resale shares by the Selling Shareholders .
We agreed to keep this prospectus effective until the earlier of (i) the date on which the shares may be resold by the Selling Shareholders without registration and without regard to any volume limitations by reason of Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect or (ii) all of the shares have been sold pursuant to this prospectus or Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect. The resale shares will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In addition, in certain states, the resale shares may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.
Under applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the resale shares may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to the common stock for the applicable restricted period, as defined in Regulation M, prior to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the Selling Shareholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of shares of the common stock by the Selling Shareholders or any other person. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the Selling Shareholders and have informed them of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale (including by compliance with Rule 172 under the Securities Act).
Legal Proceedings
We are not currently a party to any legal proceedings that we believe will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

Description of Securities
Our authorized capital stock consists of 50,000,000 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 July 1, 2009, there were 34,961,734 shares of common stock outstanding and no shares of preferred stock outstanding. The following description is a summary of our securities and contains the material terms of our securities. Additional information can be found in our articles of incorporation, bylaws and other documents discussed below.
We are offering an aggregate of 3,846,154 shares of common stock issuable on exercise of Series A and B Warrants.
25
Series A Warrants entitles the holder to purchase a total of 1,923,077 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.80 and Series B Warrants entitles the holder to purchase a total of 1,923,077 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share.
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.
12% Senior Convertible Debenture
On June 29, 2007, we issued $2,500,000 in 12% Senior Convertible Debentures (Debentures). The purchasers of the Debentures were the Selling Security holders listed in this prospectus.
The debentures have a maturity date of June 29, 2009, and, upon issuance, accrued interest at a rate of 12% per annum. Payment of principal under the debentures was due on the maturity date and interest was due on a quarterly basis. The principal amount of the debentures is convertible into common stock of the Company. Upon issuance, interest was payable at the option of the Company to the Investors either in cash or in registered common stock at a fifteen percent (15%) discount to the market price. At the closing, the Company prepaid the first two quarterly interest payments out of proceeds of the offering from escrow. The conversion price of the debentures is $0.65 per share yielding an aggregate total of possible shares to be issued as a result of conversion as of the closing of 3,846,154 shares. The principal amount of the debentures could not be prepaid without the consent of the holders. The Company failed to repay the outstanding principal amount of $2,300,000 on the debentures on the maturity date due to a lack of available funds, and the debentures are currently in default. The Company is currently in negotiations with the debenture holders. The exercise price of the Class A Warrants is $0.80 per share; and the exercise price of the Class B Warrants is $1.00 per share.
Holders of Debentures may only convert that amount of the Debenture that will not make them more than a 4.99% holder of our common stock subject to a one time waiver, at the option of the holder, on not less than 61 days notice, that they would like to increase their ownership percentage of our common stock to 9.9%. The conversion price will be reduced if we issue shares of common stock or securities convertible or exercisable into shares of our common stock at a price less than the conversion price of $0.65. While the Debentures are outstanding, we cannot pay a cash dividend on our stock.
The Debentures have anti-dilution protections, and Reflect Scientific has agreed to certain registration rights for the resale of the shares of common stock underlying the Debentures and Warrants, pursuant to a registration rights agreement entered into simultaneously with the transaction (the Registration Rights Agreement).
26
Warrants
Reflect Scientific has 3,846,154 warrants outstanding representing 1,923,077 Series A Warrants and 1,923,077 Series B Warrants. The warrants contain the same terms except the Series A Warrants have an exercise price of $0.80 per share of common stock and the Series B Warrants have an exercise price of $1.00 per share of common stock. The warrants are exercisable at any time within five years from the issuance date of June 29, 2007. The warrants have a cashless exercise feature allowing the holder to exchange warrants for shares with each warrant assigned a value of the difference between the exercise price and the current trading price. The warrants cashless feature is contingent upon the expiration of one year from issuance and that there then be no effective registration statement covering the underlying shares. No warrant holder may exercise warrants which would increase the holders share position of Reflect Scientific to more than 4.99% unless upon sixty one days notice the holder has requested such provision be removed in which case the holder may own up to 9.9% of Reflect Scientifics common stock. The exercise price will be reduced if Reflect Scientific issues shares of its common stock or rights to purchase shares of its common stock at a price less than the current exercise price. In such a case, the exercise price is reduced to the price Reflect Scientific issued its shares or rights to purchase its shares for to other parties.
The warrants have anti-dilution protections, and Reflect Scientific has agreed to certain registration rights for the resale of the shares of common stock underlying the Warrants, pursuant to a registration rights agreement.
Registration Rights Agreement
In connection with the Securities Purchase Agreement dated June 29, 2007, we entered into a Registration Rights Agreement, pursuant to which we agreed to file a registration statement covering the resale of the shares of our common stock issuable upon the conversion and exercise of the Debentures and Warrants issued under the securities purchase agreement no later than August 29, 2007, and to use our reasonable commercial efforts to cause such registration statement to be declared effective no later than 180 days after such date. We must use our reasonable commercial efforts to keep the registration statements continuously effective under the Securities Act until such time as all of the securities, which are subject of such registration statement have been sold or can be sold without volume limitations under Rule 144. Reflect Scientific may suspend the effectiveness for not more than sixty (60) consecutive trading days during each year.
All shares issuable upon conversion of the debentures or as interest on the debentures currently meet the requirements for resale under Rule 144. This prospectus includes the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants. If we do not have an effective registration statement one year from the date the Warrants were issued (June 29, 2007), the Warrants have a cashless exercise feature.
The validity of the shares offered hereby will be passed upon for us by Sichenzia Ross Friedman Ference LLP, 61 Broadway, New York, New York 10006.
Experts
This prospectus and registration statement contains consolidated financial statements for the date and years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, which have been audited by Mantyla McReynolds, LLC, independent registered accounting firm, as set forth in their report accompanying the consolidated financial statements and have been included herein in reliance upon such report, and upon the authority of said firm as experts in accounting and auditing.
Disclosure of Commission Position of Indemnification for Securities Act Liabilities
Our officers and directors may be indemnified as provided by the Utah Revised Business Corporation Act (the URBCA) and our bylaws. Under the URBCA, director immunity from liability to a company or its shareholders for monetary liabilities is permitted if contained in the companys articles of incorporation or bylaws. Excepted from that indemnification are:
|
|
|
27
|
|
|
| (3) |
a transaction from which the director derived an improper personal profit; and |
|
|
|
|
(4) |
An unlawful distribution.
|
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 the corporation to indemnify and advance expense to any officer, employee, or agent of the corporation who is not a director to the extent permitted by law.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (the Act) may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of Reflect Scientific pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
In the event that a claim for the indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the small business issuer of expenses incurred or paid by the director, officer or controlling person of the small business issuer in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the small business issuer will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court or appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudications of such issue.
Reflect Scientific has agreed to indemnify, defend and hold the selling security holder harmless against and in respect of any and all claims, demands, losses, costs, expenses, obligations, liabilities or damages, including interest, penalties and reasonable attorneys fees, that it shall incur or suffer, which arise out of, result from or relate to any breach of the stock purchase agreement or failure to perform with respect to any of its representations, warranties, or covenants contained therein. In no event shall Reflect Scientific or the selling security holder be entitled to recover consequential or punitive damages resulting from a breach or violation of the stock purchase agreement nor shall any party have liability in the event of gross negligence or willful misconduct or the indemnified party.
At this time, there are no current or pending lawsuits which would require indemnification.
Transactions with Related Persons, Promoters and Certain Control Persons
We believe that all purchases from or transactions with affiliated parties were on terms and at prices substantially similar to those available from unaffiliated third parties.
There were no material transactions, or series of similar transactions, during our Companys last fiscal year, or any currently proposed transactions, or series of similar transactions, to which our Company or any of our subsidiaries was or is to be a party, in which the amount involved exceeded the lesser of $120,000 or one percent of the average of our total assets at year-end for the last three completed fiscal years and in which any director, executive officer or any security holder who is known to us to own of record or beneficially more than five percent of any class of our common stock, or any member of the immediate family of any of the foregoing persons, had an interest.
There were no material transactions, or series of similar transactions, during our Companys last five fiscal years, or
28
any currently proposed transactions, or series of similar transactions, to which we or any of our subsidiaries was or is to be a party, in which the amount involved exceeded $120,000 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.

Possible Sale of Common Stock Pursuant to Rule 144
Reflect Scientific has previously issued shares of common stock that constitute restricted securities as that term is defined in Rule 144 adopted under the Securities Act. Subject to certain restrictions, such securities may generally be sold in limited amounts under the current rules six months after their acquisition. In 2006, Reflect Scientific issued 5,142,175 shares of common stock to shareholders as part of acquisitions and to help raise capital. Additionally in January 2007, we issued 2,000,000 shares of common stock as part of an acquisition and in February 2007 we issued another 525,000 shares as part of a separate acquisition. The shares issued in 2006 and 2007 are available for resale under Rule 144.
Shareholders
As of July 1, 2009, Reflect Scientific had 134 shareholders of record this number does not include an indeterminate number of stockholders whose shares may be held by brokers in street name.
Control by Existing Shareholders
Currently, current management has over 50% control of the issued and outstanding shares of our common stock. Unless the Debentures are converted and Warrants exercised, current management will continue to have control over matters brought to a vote of shareholders. As a result, the person currently in control of Reflect Scientific will most likely continue to be in a position to elect at least a majority of the Board of Directors of Reflect Scientific, to dissolve, merge or sell the assets of Reflect Scientific, and generally, to direct the affairs of Reflect Scientific.
Dividends
We have not declared any cash dividends with respect to our common stock, and do not intend to declare dividends in the foreseeable future. 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.
Transfer Agent
Reflect Scientifics transfer agent is Interwest Stock Transfer Company, 1981 Murray-Holliday Road, Salt Lake City, Utah 84117, Telephone (801) 272-9294.

NOTE 1 -
BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted in accordance with rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The information furnished in the interim condensed consolidated financial statements include normal recurring adjustments and reflects all adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of such financial statements. Although management believes the disclosures and information presented are adequate to make the information not misleading, it is suggested that these interim condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the Companys most recent audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in its December 31, 2008 financial statements. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2009.
NOTE 2 -
ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Cole, Inc. (the Company) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Utah on November 3, 1999. The Company was organized to engage in any lawful activity for which corporations may be organized under the Utah Revised Business Corporation Act. On December 30, 2003 the Company changed its name to Reflect Scientific, Inc.
Reflect Scientific, Inc. a California corporation, was incorporated on September 14, 1993, under the laws of California to engage in the manufacture of test kits for use in scientific studies.
On December 30, 2003, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, the Company completed a reverse merger with the shareholders of Reflect Scientific, Inc. in which it acquired 100% of Reflect Scientific, Inc., a California corporation in exchange for 22,914,949 common shares of the Company. The terms of the acquisition are detailed in an 8-K filing dated December 31, 2003. Under the terms of the agreement, the President of Reflect Scientific, Inc. became the President of the Company and was elected to the Board of Directors. The acquisition was accounted for as a recapitalization of Reflect Scientific, Inc. because the members of Reflect Scientific, Inc. controlled the Company after the acquisition. Reflect Scientific, Inc. was treated as the acquiring entity for accounting purposes and Cole, Inc. was the surviving entity for legal purposes. There was no adjustment to the carrying values of the assets or liabilities of Reflect Scientific, Inc. and no goodwill was recorded. The operations for the year ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 are those of Reflect Scientific, Inc. Effective January 19, 2007 the Company finalized an Agreement and Plan of Merger agreement with All Temp Engineering, Inc. Effective March 6, 2007, the Company finalized an Agreement and Plan of Merger agreement with Image Labs, International. The terms of the agreements are detailed in a 10-QSB filing dated March 31, 2007. The Company entered into these mergers after considering All Temps and Image Labs business history, financial condition, and intellectual property. The Company has a desire to expand its services and attract and

ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS (continued)
retain talented technical personnel and believed there were strategic and financial advantages to combining the businesses.
NOTE 3 CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES AND WARRANTS
On June 29, 2007, the Company entered into an agreement to sell $2,500,000 in 12% senior convertible debentures with a maturity date of June 29, 2009, with interest due quarterly. At the closing, the Company prepaid the first quarterly interest payment out of the proceeds of the offering from escrow and placed in escrow the second quarterly interest payment for a total of $150,000. The agreement allows for the Company to pay the interest in cash or in duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock at the interest conversion rate, or a combination thereof.
The debentures have a conversion price of $0.65. If the Company, at any time while the debenture is outstanding, pays stock dividends, subdivides outstanding shares, sells or grants any option to purchase or dispose of common stock at an effective price lower than the conversion price, issue rights, options or warrants at a price lower than the conversion price, etc., the Company shall promptly deliver to each Holder a notice setting forth the conversion price after such adjustment and provide a brief statement of facts requiring such adjustment. In addition, if the volume weighted average price for each of any 20 consecutive trading days exceeds 250% of the conversion price, the Company may, within one trading day deliver a written notice to the holder and force the holder to convert a principal amount of the debenture equal to all or part of the holders portion of the forced conversion amount.
The agreement also provides for the issuance of 1,923,077 A warrants and 1,923,077 B warrants. The warrants are exercisable at a price of $0.80 per share for the A warrant and $1.00 per share for the B warrant and expire June 29, 2012. The Company valued the warrants using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. For the purpose of the valuation of the warrants, the Company calculated a volatility of 66.48% on its common stock and used the U. S. Treasury bill rate of 4.94% for its risk free rate. Then the Company allocated a portion of the proceeds to the warrants, based on the relative fair value basis, in the amount of $1,639,029 which is recognized as a contra liability account and will be amortized as interest expense over the 2 year term of the agreement. The intrinsic value of beneficial conversion of the debentures was valued at $5,677,491, which exceeds the effective value of the debentures of $860,971. Therefore, the discount assigned to the beneficial conversion feature is limited to $860,971 and is recognized as a contra liability account and will be amortized as interest expense over the 2 year term of the agreement.
As payment for services provided, the Company also issued 192,308 A warrants and 192,308 B warrants which were valued at $475,925 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and expensed in the initial period.

NOTE 4 EQUITY TRANSACTIONS
During the three month period ended March 31, 2009, the Company issued 80,045 shares of its common stock for the payment of interest of $17,610 pursuant to the convertible debenture agreement dated June 29, 2007. The Company valued the shares at $20,011 ($0.25/share) based on the closing quote on the date issued. The additional expense of $2,401 was recorded as interest expense.
NOTE 5 SUBSEQUENT EVENT
On April 1, 2009 the Company issued 135,462 shares of its common stock for the payment of interest of $17,610 pursuant to the convertible debenture agreement dated June 29, 2007.
NOTE 6 NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, "Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS 161 is intended to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity's financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. Pursuant to the transition provisions of the Statement, the Company adopted
40
REFLECT SCIENTIFIC, INC.
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 2008
SFAS No. 161 on January 1, 2009, with no material impact on the Companys financial statements.
In February 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157. FSP FAS 157-2 delayed the effective date of SFAS No. 157 Fair Value Measurements from 2008 to 2009 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). The adoption of the provisions of SFAS No. 157 related to nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities on January 1, 2009 did not have a material impact on the Financial Statements.
In March 2009, the FASB released Proposed Staff Position SFAS 157-e, "Determining Whether a Market Is Not Active and a Transaction Is Not Distressed". This proposal provides additional guidance in determining whether a market for a financial asset is not active and a transaction is not distressed for fair value measurement purposes as defined in SFAS 157, "Fair Value Measurements." SFAS 157-e is effective for interim periods ending after June 15, 2009, but early adoption is permitted for interim periods ending after March 15, 2009. The Company is evaluating, but does not expect this guidance will have a significant impact on the Company's financial position, cash flows, or disclosures.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Reflect Scientific, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Orem, Utah
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Reflect Scientific, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audit in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company has determined that it is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purposes of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal controls over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Reflect Scientific, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

REFLECT SCIENTIFIC, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2008 and 2007
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Cole, Inc. (the Company) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Utah on November 3, 1999. The Company was organized to engage in any lawful activity for which corporations may be organized under the Utah Revised Business Corporation Act. On December 30, 2003 the Company changed its name to Reflect Scientific, Inc.
Reflect Scientific, Inc. a California Corporation, was incorporated on June 14, 1993, under the laws of California to engage in the manufacture of test kits for use in scientific studies.
On December 30, 2003, pursuant to an agreement and plan of reorganization, the Company completed a reverse merger with the shareholders of Reflect Scientific, Inc. in which it acquired 100% of Reflect Scientific, Inc., a California Company in exchange for 22,914,949 common shares of the Company. The terms of the acquisition are detailed in an 8-K filing dated December 31, 2003. Under the terms of the agreement, the President of Reflect Scientific, Inc. became the President of the Company and was elected to the Board of Directors; the acquisition was accounted for as a recapitalization of Reflect Scientific, Inc. because the members of Reflect Scientific, Inc. controlled the Company after the acquisition. Reflect Scientific, Inc. was treated as the acquiring entity for accounting purposes and Cole, Inc. was the surviving entity for legal purposes. There was no adjustment to the carrying values of the assets or liabilities of Reflect Scientific, Inc. and no goodwill was recorded. The operations for the year ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 are those of Reflect Scientific, Inc.
Cryomastor, (renamed Cryometrix) was acquired in its entirety through a merger agreement on June 27, 2006 where Reflect Scientific issued 3,000,000 shares of common stock as well as $700,000 in cash to Cryomastor shareholders. In addition John Dain was paid $300,000 for the assignment of a key product patent to Reflect Scientific. The acquired assets will allow Reflect Scientific to manufacture and market cryogenic storage systems without significant investment in infrastructure.
All Temp Engineering was acquired in its entirety through a merger agreement on January 19, 2007 where Reflect Scientific issued 1,000,000 shares of common stock to All Temp Engineering shareholders. The Company entered into this merger after considering All Temps business history, financial condition, and intellectual property. The Company has a desire to expand its services and attract and retain talented technical personnel and believed there were strategic and financial advantages to combining the businesses.
Image Labs International was acquired in its entirety through a merger agreement on March 6, 2007 where Reflect Scientific issued 525,000 shares of common stock as well as $200,000 in cash to Image Labs International shareholders.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
a. Accounting Method
The Companys financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The Company has elected a December 31 year-end.

REFLECT SCIENTIFIC, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2008 and 2007
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
b. Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenues as required by Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104 Revenue Recognition. Revenue is only recognized on product sales once the product has been shipped to the customers, and all other obligations and criteria of SAB 104 have been met. These criteria are: persuasive evidence of an agreement exists, delivery has occurred, and the price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonable assured.
The Company also recognizes revenue on long-term contracts, using the percentage-of-completion method. We generally recognize revenue using the percentage-of-completion method for original equipment that requires a minimum of six months to produce. When using the percentage-of-completion method, sales and gross profit are recognized as work is performed based on the relationship between actual costs incurred and total estimated costs at completion. Estimated losses are recognized in full when identified. The asset costs and estimated earnings in excess of contract billings on uncompleted contracts represents revenues recognized in excess of amounts billed. The liability, contract billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts, represents billings in excess of revenues recognized.
c. Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
d. Cash and Cash Equivalents
The company considers all deposit accounts and investment accounts with a maturity of one year or less to be cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2008 and 2007 the company had no cash equivalents.
e. Accounts Receivable
The Company writes off trade receivables when deemed uncollectible. The Company estimates allowance for doubtful accounts based on the aged receivable balances and historical losses. The Company charges off uncollectible accounts when management determines there is no possibility of collecting the related receivable. The Company considers accounts receivable to be past due or delinquent based on contractual terms, which is generally net 30 days.
The Company charged $2,433 and $82,344 to bad debt expense for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The allowance for doubtful accounts balance at December 31, 2008 and 2007 was $80,161.
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.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2008 and 2007
g. Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value based upon the First-In First-Out (FIFO) inventory method. The Companys inventory consists of parts for scientific vial kits, refrigerant gases and other scientific items.
h. Advertising Expense
The Company follows the policy of charging the costs of advertising to expense as incurred. The Company recognized $62,330 and $42,654 of advertising expense during the years ended December 31, 2008, and 2007, respectively.
i. Newly Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial and Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 141(R), Business Combinations. SFAS 141(R) changes the accounting for and reporting of business combination transactions in the following way: Recognition with certain exceptions of 100% of the fair values of assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and non controlling interests of acquired businesses; measurement of all acquirer shares issued in consideration for a business combination at fair value on the acquisition date; recognition of contingent consideration arrangements at their acquisition date fair values, with subsequent changes in fair value generally reflected in earnings; recognition of pre-acquisition gain and loss contingencies at their acquisition date fair value; capitalization of in-process research and development (IPR&D) assets acquired at acquisition date fair value; recognition of acquisition-related transaction costs as expense when incurred; recognition of acquisition-related restructuring cost accruals in acquisition accounting only if the criteria in Statement No. 146 are met as of the acquisition date; and recognition of changes in the acquirers income tax valuation allowance resulting from the business combination separately from the business combination as adjustments to income tax expense. SFAS No. 141(R) is effective for the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008 with earlier adoption prohibited. The adoption of SFAS No. 141(R) will affect valuation of business acquisitions made in 2009 and forward.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160 "Non-controlling Interest in Consolidated Financial Statements an Amendment of ARB 51. SFAS 160 clarifies that a non-controlling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. It also requires consolidated net income to be reported at amounts that include the amounts attributable to both the parent and the non-controlling interest, and requires disclosure, on the face of the consolidated statement of income, of the amounts of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the non-controlling interest. SAFS 160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited. We do not anticipate a material impact upon adoption.
In March 2008, the FSAB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. SFAS 161 is intended to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity's financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. We do not anticipate a material impact upon adoption.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
i. Newly Issued Accounting Pronouncements (Continued)
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157 Fair Value Measurements. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expends disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements and does not require any new fair value measurements. The provisions of SFAS 157 were originally to be effective beginning January 1, 2008. Subsequently, the FASB provided for a one-year deferral of the provisions of SFAS 157 for non-financial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in consolidated financial statements on a non-recurring basis. The Company adopted SFAS 157 on January 1, 2008 for financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value on a recurring basis, with no material impact on its consolidated financial statements. We are currently evaluating the input of adopting the provisions of SFAS 157 for non-financial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed on a non-recurring basis.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. SFAS No. 159 allows entities to voluntarily choose, at specified election dates, to measure many financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value. The election is made on an instrument-by-instrument basis and is irrevocable. If the fair value option is elected for an instrument, SFAS No. 159 specifies that all subsequent changes in fair value for that instrument shall be reported in earnings. SFAS No. 159 is effective as of the beginning of an entitys first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. The Company elected not to measure any additional financial assets or liabilities at fair value at the time SFAS 159 was adopted on January 1, 2008. As a result, implementation of SFAS 159 had no impact on the Companys financial statements.
j. Basic Earnings per Share
The computation of earnings per share of common stock is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period of the consolidated financial statements as follows:

As of December 31, 2008 the Company had 9,181,838 shares of outstanding common stock equivalents; however, the company experienced a net loss during the year. The net loss would make the common stock equivalents anti-dilutive and as such the diluted earnings per share will not be calculated.
k. Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs
The Company records all shipping and handling cost in cost of goods sold.

l. Income Taxes
Deferred taxes are provided on an asset and liability approach whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax basis. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.
The provision (benefit) for income taxes for the year ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 consist of the following:

l. Income Taxes (Continued)
The income tax provision differs from the amount of income tax determined by applying the U.S. federal and state income tax rates of 34% to pretax income from continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 due to the following.

Due to the change in ownership provisions of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, net operating loss carryforwards for Federal income tax reporting purposes are subject to annual limitations. If a change in ownership occurs, then net operating loss carryforwards may be limited as to use in future years. At December 31, 2008, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $830,500 that may be offset against future taxable income from the year 2008 through 2028. During 2008 the company reevaluated its deferred tax assets and concluded that none of the asset would be realizable and that a full valuation allowance should be recorded. The valuation allowance was increased by $215,950 and leaves the company with a net deferred tax asset of $0 as of December 31, 2008.
The Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, on January 1, 2007. As a result of the implementation of Interpretation 48, the Company recognized no increase in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits, and we have recorded no additional interest or penalties. The adoption of FIN 48 did not impact our effective tax rates.
Included in the balance at December 31, 2008, are no tax positions for which the ultimate deductibility is highly certain but for which there is uncertainty about the timing of such deductibility. Because of the impact of deferred tax accounting, other than interest and penalties, the disallowance of the shorter deductibility period would not affect the annual effective tax rate but would accelerate the payment of cash to the taxing authority to an earlier period.
Our policy is to recognize potential interest and penalties accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits within income tax expense. For the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, we did not recognize any interest or penalties in our Statement of Operations, nor did we have any interest or penalties accrued in our Balance Sheet at December 31, 2008 and 2007 relating to unrecognized benefits.
The tax years 2007 and 2006 remain open to examination for federal income tax purposes and by the other major taxing jurisdictions to which we are subject.
m. Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, which include Cryometrix (previously Cryomastor), All Temp Engineering and Image Labs International. All subsidiaries are wholly owned. All material intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

n. Research and development expense
The Company accounts for research and development costs in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board's Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 2 ("SFAS 2"), "Accounting for Research and Development Costs". Under SFAS 2, 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 $297,402 and $198,396 in research and product development for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
o. Stock Based Compensation
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (FASB) issued SFAS 123R, Share-Based Payments (SFAS No. 123R), a revision of SFAS No. 123 Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (SFAS No. 123), which requires companies to measure all employee stock-based compensation awards using a fair value method and record such expense in their financial statements. The Company adopted this standard effective December 1, 2006, and elected the modified-prospective transition method. Under the modified-prospective transition method, awards that are granted, modified, repurchased or canceled after the date of adoption should be measured and accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 123R. The Company had no options outstanding prior to the issuance of SFAS No. 123R.
p. Intangible Assets
Intangible assets include trademarks, trade secrets, patents, customer lists and goodwill acquired through acquisitions of subsidiaries. The Patents have been registered with the United States Patent and Trademarks office. The costs of obtaining patents are capitalized as incurred. Intangibles, except for goodwill, are amortized over their estimated useful lives.
q. Impairment
The Company reviews long-lived assets, at least annually, to determine if impairment has occurred and whether the economic benefit of the asset (fair value for assets to be used and fair value less disposal costs for assets to be disposed) is expected to be less than the carrying value. Triggering events, which signal further analysis, consist of a significant decrease in the assets market value, a substantial change in the use of an asset, a significant physical change in the asset, a significant change in the legal or business climate that could affect the asset, an accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected to acquire or construct the asset, or a history of losses that imply continued losses associated with assets used to generate revenue. No such adjustments were required for the year ended December 31, 2008.

REFLECT SCIENTIFIC, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2008 and 2007
NOTE 12 CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES AND WARRANTS
On June 29, 2007, the Company entered into an agreement to sell $2,500,000 in 12% senior convertible debentures with a maturity date of June 29, 2009, with interest due quarterly. At the closing, the Company prepaid the first quarterly interest payment and reserved the second quarterly interest payment for a total of $150,000. The agreement allows for the Company to pay the interest in cash or in duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid, and non-assessable shares of common stock at the interest conversion rate, or a combination thereof.
The debentures have a conversion price of $0.65. If the Company, at any time while the debenture is outstanding, pays stock dividends, subdivides outstanding shares, sells or grants any option to purchase or dispose of common stock at an effective price lower than the conversion price, issue rights, options or warrants at a price lower than the conversion price, etc., the Company shall promptly deliver to each Holder a notice setting forth the conversion price after such adjustment and provide a brief statement of facts requiring such adjustment. In addition, if the volume weighted average price for each of any 20 consecutive trading days exceeds 250% of the conversion price, the Company may, within one trading day deliver a written notice to the holder and force the holder to convert a principal amount of the debenture equal to all or part of the holders portion of the forced conversion amount.
The agreement also provides for the issuance of 1,923,077 A warrants and 1,923,077 B warrants. The warrants are exercisable at a price of $0.80 per share for the A warrant and $1.00 per share for the B warrant and expire June 29, 2012. The Company valued the warrants using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. For the purpose of the valuation of the warrants, the Company calculated a volatility of 66.48% on its common stock and used the U. S. Treasury bill rate of 4.94% for its risk free rate. Then the Company allocated a portion of the proceeds to the warrants, based on the relative fair value basis, in the amount of $1,639,029 which is recognized as a contra liability account and will be amortized as interest expense over the 2 year term of the agreement. The intrinsic value of beneficial conversion of the debentures was valued at $5,677,491, which exceeds the effective value of the debentures of $860,971. Therefore, the discount assigned to the beneficial conversion feature is limited to $860,971 and is recognized as a contra liability account and will be amortized as interest expense over the 2 year term of the agreement.
As payment for services provided, the Company also issued 192,308 A warrants and 192,308 B warrants which were valued at $475,925 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and expensed during 2007.
The debentures and warrants have anti-dilution protections, and the Company has agreed to certain registration rights for the resale of the shares of common stock underlying the debentures and warrants.
A summary of the status of the Companys outstanding stock warrants as of December 31, 2008 and changes during the period then ended is presented below:

NOTE 13 COMMON STOCK OPTIONS
On December 31, 2007, the Companys board of directors approved an equity plan. The equity plan known as the 2007 Equity Incentive Plan (the Plan) reserves up to 6,000,000 shares of the Companys authorized common stock for issuance to officers, directors, employees and consultants under the terms of the Plan. The Plan permits the board of directors to issue stock options and restricted stock.
The fair value of each option granted under the Plan is estimated on the date of grant, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, based on the following weighted average assumptions:
|
|
|
|
Expected life (years) |
|
5.0 |
|
Expected stock price volatility |
|
65.79 - 66.27 |
% |
Expected dividend yield |
|
0.0 |
% |
Risk-free interest rate |
|
3.38 3.41 |
% |
The risk-free interest rate is based upon the U.S. Treasury yield curve at the time of grant for the respective expected life of the option. The expected life (estimated period of time outstanding) of options was estimated. The expected volatility of the Companys options was calculated using historical data. Expected dividend yield was not considered in the option pricing formula since the Company does not pay dividends and has no current plans to do so in the future. If actual periods of time outstanding and rate of forfeitures differs from the expected rates, the Company may be required to make additional adjustments to compensation expense in future periods.
