Reflect Scientific, Inc.: Form 10-K for the period ended Dec 31, 2014

Business Development

History

Reflect Scientific, Inc., a Utah corporation (the “Company,” “we,” “our,” “us” and words of similar import), was organized under the laws of the State of Utah on November 3, 1999, under the name “Cole, Inc.” On December 31, 2003, we acquired Reflect Scientific, Inc., a California corporation. We changed our name to “Reflect Scientific, Inc.” and succeeded to the business operations of our wholly-owned subsidiary, that involved the manufacture and distribution of unique laboratory consumables and disposables such as filtration and purification products, customized sample handling vials, electronic wiring assemblies, high temperature silicone, graphite and vespel/graphite sealing components for use by original equipment manufacturers (“OEM”) in the chemical analysis industries, primarily in the field of gas/liquid chromatography. See our 8-K Current Report dated December 31, 2003, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 15, 2004, and is incorporated herein by reference. See Part IV, Item 15.

On November 29, 2005, we announced the execution of a Letter of Intent to acquire Cryomastor Corporation, a California corporation (“Cryomastor” [sometimes called “Cryometrix,” its amended name]).

Effective as of April 4, 2006, we entered into a Purchase Agreement (the “JMST Agreement”) with JM SciTech, LLC, a limited liability company organized under the laws of the State of Colorado, and doing business as JMST Systems (“JMST”); David Carver, an individual (“Carver”); and Julie Martin, an individual (“Martin”) (JMST, Carver and Martin are sometimes hereinafter referred to collectively as “Sellers”). Pursuant to the JMST Agreement, we purchased and JMST sold all right, title and interest in and to the JMST Technology (the “JMST Technology”), as described in the JMST Agreement; and Carver conveyed and assigned any rights he had in and to certain patents (the “Carver Patents”) and related intellectual assets as described in the JMST Agreement (collectively, including the Carver Patents, referred to herein as the “Carver Technology”). JMST had created a line of chemical detection instruments that are used in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology and homeland security markets. The patented technology allows researchers to accurately analyze chemical formulations for their composition and identity. See our 8-K Current Report dated April 4, 2006, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 7, 2006, and is incorporated herein by reference. See Part IV, Item 15.

On June 27, 2006, we completed the acquisition of Cryomastor pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Cryomastor Merger Agreement”), which became our wholly-owned subsidiary; changed its name to “Cryometrix, Inc.”; and succeeded to its business operations, which involved the manufacture and sale of ultra low temperature freezer systems powered by liquid nitrogen for use in bio-repositories associated with the biotech and pharmaceutical industries, as well as government facilities, universities and many other diverse applications that require a large number of reliable and energy efficient freezers. See our 8-K Current Report dated June 27,

2006, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 30, 2006, and is incorporated herein by reference. See Part IV, Item 15.

On November 15, 2006, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Image Labs Merger Agreement”) between Image Acquisition Corp., a Georgia corporation and our wholly-owned subsidiary (“Merger Subsidiary”); Smithgall & Associates, Inc., dba Image Labs International, a Georgia corporation (“Image Labs”); and Brian Smithgall (“Smithgall”), the sole shareholder of Image Labs (the “Image Labs Shareholder”). 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. See our 8-K Current Report dated November 15, 2006, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 21, 2006, and is incorporated herein by reference. See Part IV, Item 15. In February 2010, management made the decision to divest this business.

On November 17, 2006, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “The All Temp Merger Agreement”) between our wholly-owned subsidiary, Cryometrix, Inc. (“Merger Subsidiary”); All Temp Engineering Inc., a California corporation (“All Temp”); J F Dain & E L Dain CO-TTEES Dain Family Revocable Trust U/A Dated 12/17/2001 (the “Dain Trust”) and Nicholas J. Henneman (“Henneman”), the sole All Temp Shareholders (collectively, the “All Temp Shareholders”); and John F. Dain, individually (“Dain”). All Temp was located in San Jose, California and had been providing engineered solutions and services to the cryogenics industry for over 24 years. All Temp served numerous companies in business sectors such as biotech, pharmaceutical, medical devices, research, universities, semiconductor, aerospace, military, and industrial food processing. See our 8-K Current Report dated November 17, 2006, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 22, 2006, and is incorporated herein by reference. See Part IV, Item 15.

On June 29, 2007, we completed the sale of $2,500,000 of debentures. See our 8-K Current Report dated July 2, 2008, and is incorporated herein by reference. See Part IV, Item 15.

On October 31, 2009, the Company completed the contract obligations of All Temp and moved its Cryometrix subsidiary to Montana. The consolidation of the manufacturing operations was made to bring greater efficiencies while at the same time provide cost savings.

On March 2, 2010, the Company sold the assets and certain liabilities of Image Labs and Miralogix to an employee. The time line from the point at which the Company made the decision to sell to the accepting of the offer and closing of the transaction was less than two weeks. The sale was structured such that the Company received no cash from the transaction, while the acquirer took possession of all the assets and assumed all of the liabilities of Image Labs and Miralogix except for those related to accrued payroll and related personnel expenses. Management’s decision to divest this subsidiary was based on its strategic plan to refocus its product lines and sales efforts to its proprietary green technologies. A history of operating losses at Image Labs and Miralogix, the potential necessity of additional capital expenditures, and the soft market for its products due to economic conditions, were additional considerations in making that determination. The Company recorded a loss of $947,941 all of which is reported in the year ended December 31, 2010. In conjunction with the disposal of this business entity, $99,100 in cash was transferred to the new owners. With the sale of operations in Montana, the Cryometrix subsidiary was moved to and consolidated with the Reflect Scientific operations in Utah.

In June 2012, management reached agreement with all but one of the debenture holders on a plan to settle the debentures held by them that are in default. The settlement agreement was contingent upon the Company making a cash payment to them in the amount of $75,000 in full satisfaction of the indebtedness. In exchange for the $75,000 payment, the debenture holder would cancel the debentures, penalty, interest and warrants. The Company made the agreed upon payment on July 10, 2012. Under the terms of the agreement all indebtedness was extinguished, which included the principal amount of $1,750,000, default penalties of $525,000 and accrued interest of $1,204,875. The related warrants were also extinguished by the settlement agreement. The Company recognized a gain on extinguishment of debt of $3,428,875 on the settlement agreement. All remaining unexercised warrants expired on June 29, 2012.

Business

Overview

Reflect Scientific is 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, and chemical and industrial companies.

Our goal is to provide our customers with the best solution for their needs. This philosophy extends into our business strategies and acquisition plans. Through a series of strategic acquisitions, we acquired technology that has enabled us to expand our line of products 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. We launched our next generation detector in late 2013 and expected detector sales would grow significantly in 2014. While 2014 detector sales were 2% higher than 2013, the increase was less than had been expected.

Our Cryometrix brand ultra low temperature freezers innovative design enables our customers to save substantially 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. Our Cryometrix freezers are targeted to expand into this growing market. The application of this technology for use in refrigerated trailers (commonly called “reefers”) used to transport goods which need to be maintained in a cold environment significantly broadens the market for this technology. The utilization of this technology in reefers eliminates the current method of cooling, which utilize engines run on hydrocarbon fuels. The Cryometrix technology is pollutant free and is more cost effective and efficient than the technologies currently used.

Products

Reflect Scientific designs, develops and sells scientific equipment for the Life Science and Manufacturing industries. Since our wholly owned subsidiary Reflect Scientific’s organization in 1991, our focus is and has been on providing value added products, analytic testing supplies and equipment, and stand alone products for the life science and industrial market place. Reflect Scientific’s products range from non-mechanical Cyrometrix™ freezers, state of the art detectors, and products and parts for the life science industry to tools and analytical services for industrial manufacturing.

All of Reflect Scientific’s products and services are developed with one key factor in mind: Providing a superior cost/benefit to the customer than do competitive products in the same market space. With years of experience in the life science and industrial manufacturing markets, Reflect Scientific has been able to develop not only unique patentable products, but products that we believe offer immediate advantages and cost savings over any other competing and existing products in the market.

We have developed a business model with a focus on intellectual expertise in the design and development of products and solutions for life science and industrial manufacturing industries. We outsource the majority of our manufacturing, allowing us to maintain the flexibility to develop products across multiple lines and industries. Our strength is in developing and providing products which we believe offer immediate and verifiable cost saving solutions.

We have found a number of companies that can manufacture products to our specification, allowing us to focus on our core competencies of development and design, and maintain a flexible corporate structure capable of taking advantage of new opportunities without the large capital investment required to acquire tooling and manufacturing equipment. Our focus on the intellectual expertise, as opposed to manufacturing of products, allows us to develop products along multiple industry lines and to tailor our products to specific needs in a variety of industrial settings. Our products are sold in the biotechnology, pharmaceutical and medical industries, as well as the manufacturing industries, such as automotive.

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 types of freezers are used by hospitals and biotechnology research facilities.

The only ultra low temperature freezers currently available are produced by a limited number of companies and rely on a mechanical process for cooling. Because of inadequacies in the mechanical process, we believe there is wastage of inventory each year because of the problems of proper cooling inherent in the mechanical freezers.

Our freezers incorporate a disruptive technology, as they are based on a complete divergence from the technology currently used in ultra low temperature freezers. Through the advantages of our technology, we believe our freezers solve the current inadequacies and provide immediate cost savings 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 patented design and technology which is powered by liquid nitrogen. Through the use of a liquid nitrogen powered freezer system we are able to address the market need for:

Low energy requirements

Flexible temperature control – wide range of usable temperatures

Power failures have little effect - uses passive liquid nitrogen technology rather than electrically powered compressors.

Uniform temperatures throughout freezer – more usable storage volume

Much larger storage volume per area of floor space occupied – reduced facilities cost

Reliable and essentially maintenance free, further lowering cost of ownership

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

We believe existing mechanical freezers are outdated and our freezers to be the desired technology to which the industry will move, providing us the opportunity to gain a significant market share in this large market.

The adaptation of the freezer technology to reefers for transporting perishable items opens a significant new market. Trailers can easily be retrofit with the Cryogenix unit, which operates pollutant free, more efficiently, and at a cost savings compared to the diesel powered units currently used. The reefer market is a $1 billion market. The non-polluting Cryogenix unit provides significant benefits over any other unit currently marketed.

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.

Competition

The environment for our products and services is intensely competitive. Although the complexity of the products we produce limits the number of companies we compete with, the companies with competing technology are generally larger and often subsidiaries or divisions of very large multinational companies. Our competitor’s size and association with large multinational companies gives them advantages over us in the ability to access potential customers. Many potential customers already purchase products either directly from our competitors or from another subsidiary of these large multinational companies, creating natural inroads to sales that we do not possess.

Given our relative size versus our competitors, we are often required 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 those markets. As our ultra low freezer products are new to the marketplace, the products long term commercial acceptance is still unknown. Most of our products compete against multiple competitors, with our refrigeration products competing primarily against Thermo Fisher Scientific and Sanyo Corporation.

Growth Plan

While we will continue to evaluate acquisitions of businesses and technologies to enhance our revenues in the Life Science and green technology markets, our primary focus is on growing our own product lines through increasing market share and the addition of new products to our current offerings.

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

Manufacturing, Supplies, and Quality Control

Many of our products are manufactured by third party manufactures. By outsourcing our manufacturing we are able to reduce the overall cost of our products. We self manufacture lower volume products that are less labor and parts intensive in our facility in Orem, Utah.

Regulation and Environmental Compliance

Presently, none of our products are in highly regulated industries.

Sources and Availability of Raw Materials and Names of Principal Suppliers

Sources and availability of key materials and intermediates continue to remain stable. Where supply is considered a critical success factor for our business, we have certified primary vendors in place and have identified secondary vendors.

Dependence on One or a Few Major Customers

We 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.

Effect of Existing or Probable Governmental Regulations on the Business

We are subject to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. This Act creates a strong and independent accounting oversight board to oversee the conduct of auditors of public companies and strengthens auditor independence. It also requires steps to enhance the direct responsibility of senior members of management for financial reporting and for the quality of financial disclosures made by public companies; establishes clear statutory rules to limit, and to expose to public view, possible conflicts of interest affecting securities analysts; creates guidelines for audit committee members appointment, compensation and oversight of the work of public companies’ auditors; prohibits certain insider trading during pension fund blackout periods; and establishes a federal crime of securities fraud, among other provisions.

Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act requires all companies with securities registered pursuant to Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act to comply with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission regarding proxy solicitations, as outlined in Regulation 14A.

As a part of the settlement two patents were assigned to the Company, the royalty agreement was terminated and agreement was reached on the return of stock issued as a part of the acquisition of Cryomastor. The defendant assigned the patents but did not submit the stock agreed upon until the 4th quarter of 2013. In December 2013 the 1,130,000 shares were returned and cancelled.

This periodic report contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 with respect to the Plan of Operations provided below, including information regarding the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, business strategies, operating efficiencies or synergies, competitive positions, growth opportunities, and the plans and objectives of management. The statements made as part of the Plan of Operations that are not historical facts are hereby identified as "forward-looking statements."

The following discussion and analysis provides information which management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of our results of operations and financial condition. The discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes included in this report as Part II, Item 8.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Reflect Scientific’s accounting policies are more fully described in Note 2 of the consolidated financial statements. As discussed in Note 2, the preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions about the future events that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Reflect Scientific believes that the following addresses Reflect Scientific’s most critical accounting policies. There have been no significant changes during the year ended December 31, 2014.

REVENUE RECOGNITION: We recognize revenue when the following criteria have been met: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (2) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, (3) the price is fixed or determinable and (4) collectability is reasonably assured.

Product revenues are recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, risk of loss and title has transferred to our customers, the fee is fixed or determinable and collection is probable. Rights of return for manufactured product are dependent upon the agreement.

ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS: 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.

INCOME TAXES: We account for income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Codification (ASC) 740, “Income Taxes”. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets will be reflected on the balance sheet when it is determined that it is more likely than not that the asset will be realized.

Overview

During the year ended December 31, 2014 revenue increased by 18.72% compared to the year ended December 31, 2013. The increase resulted from the sale of our ultra-cold freezers. While there can be no assurance that freezer sales will continue, it is encouraging that the marketplace has embraced our disruptive technology, enabling a number of units to be put into service. Historically, significant portions of our revenue came from the manufacture and sale of capital equipment, such as freezers and detectors, purchased by our customers. The past few years, economic uncertainty has caused many of these customers to defer, significantly reduce, or eliminate altogether their capital budget spending. Capital markets have remained tight, with the result that we have been unable to secure sufficient funding with which to retire all of our debentures which matured June 30, 2009, and we remain in default on $650,000 of that indebtedness. Due to our net losses of the past years and the default status on our debentures, our accountants have expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

The Company focused its resources during 2014 to the marketing of our new line of detectors and the continuation of work on the ultra-cold freezers and the cooling unit for refrigerated trucks. Our next generation detector was successfully introduced into the marketplace in late 2013. In late 2013 we also completed our first prototype refrigerated truck unit and began road tests with that unit. Commercialization of both of these products will provide opportunity for the Company to expand its share of the detector market and make entry into the refrigerated truck market

The Company has been proactive in making those business decisions which it believes will enable it to carry out its business plan. Significant cost reduction measures have been implemented, unprofitable subsidiaries divested, facilities consolidated and personnel reductions made. However, we are still generating operating losses and we cannot assure that financing will be made available at acceptable rates to allow the execution of our business plan.

Financial Position

The table below presents a summary of our consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2014 and 2013:

We had $271,053 in cash as of December 31, 2014, an increase of $19,590 from December 31, 2013. We had a working capital deficit of $663,672 at December 31, 2014, compared to working capital deficit of $636,869 at December 31, 2013.

Contractual Obligations

The Company leases office/warehouse space in Utah. In addition, it has a lease on a vehicle. The following summarizes future minimum lease payments under the operating leases at December 31, 2014:

Results of Operations

December 31, 2014 and 2013

The following table summarizes revenue, cost of goods sold, and operating expenses for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013:

Total revenue in 2014 increased 18.7% to $1,527,927 from revenue of $1,287,023 in 2013. Revenue of $231,775 from ultra-low temperature freezers accounts for the revenue increase. We continue to work to increase our catalog sales and to find new distributors to expand our distribution channels.

Our cost of goods sold increased in the period ending December 31, 2014, as compared to December 31, 2013, due primarily to the cost of the freezers built and sold. The gross margin percentage was 55% for 2014 compared to 52% for 2013. Our gross margin percent is also influenced by the sales mix, with the detectors and detector supplies carrying higher gross margins than the more generic lab supplies. We are working to increase gross margins through working with current vendors to obtain more favorable costing or identifying and qualifying new vendors who offer more favorable pricing without compromising quality.

Salaries and wages increased by $189,084 in 2014 as compared to 2013 due to the non-cash compensation charge taken for the issuance of stock to the Chief Executive Officer. Our plan is to continue to use outside contractors where practical to enable us to maintain our employee level.

General and administrative expenses were $45,838 higher for 2014 as compared to 2013. The 2014 increase is mainly attributable to the increase in consulting fees. Expense levels going forward are expected to increase from the 2014 levels, as increased marketing and advertising costs to promote the sale of our products will be required.

Our evaluation showed no impairment charge was required in 2014. At the end of 2013 we performed an evaluation of our intangible assets and goodwill for impairment. Our evaluation determined that the intangible assets were carried on the financial statements at a value which exceeded fair value at December 2013. An impairment charge of $265,895 was recorded in order to write off the carrying amount of goodwill, as determined by the impairment analysis conducted at December 31, 2013.

We had a net loss of $840,809 in 2014, an improvement of $172,389 over the net loss in 2013.

Seasonality and Cyclicality

We do not believe our business is cyclical.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our cash resources at December 31, 2014, were $271,053, with accounts receivable of $256,170 and inventory of $215,958, net of reserve. Our working capital deficit at December 31, 2014 was $663,672. This compares to negative working capital of $636,869 at December 31, 2013. We remain in default on the remaining debentures and will require additional financing to enable the retirement of that debt.

In 2014, net cash provided to fund operating activities was $109,841 as compared to net cash required to fund operations of $55,625 in 2013. We anticipate that in 2015, with the benefit of continued cost reductions and increased revenue, we will continue to generate positive cash from operating activities.

We will continue to focus our efforts on our core business activities while pursuing capital resources and evaluating potential future acquisitions which fit within and enhance our core business.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We lease office and warehouse space under a non-cancelable operating lease in Utah, which expires November 30, 2017. Future minimum lease payments under the operating lease at December 31, 2014 are $108,500 for this facility. In addition, at December 31, 2014 we have one automobile lease with future minimum lease payments of $19,344.

As of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report, we conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief/Principal Financial Officer, of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”). Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that information required to be disclosed is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the specified periods and is accumulated and communicated to management, including our President and Principal Financial Officer, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure of material information required to be included in our periodic Securities and Exchange Commission reports. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective. It should be noted that the design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting.

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013). Based on this evaluation, our management concluded that, as of December 31, 2014, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective due to the following material weakness:

Inadequate and Ineffective Controls over the Valuation of Equity Transactions:

During the fourth quarter of 2014 we incorrectly valued an equity transaction, using a stock value other than the closing price of the stock on the date of the stock grant. While the equity transaction was corrected, it was initially recorded at a value less than the proper valuation, resulting in an understatement of compensation and consulting expense.

Inherent Limitations over Internal Controls

Internal control over financial reporting cannot provide absolute assurance of achieving financial reporting objectives because of its inherent limitations, including the possibility of human error and circumvention by collusion or overriding of controls. Accordingly, even an effective internal control system may not prevent or detect material misstatements on a timely basis. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Remediation plans to improve internal control over financial reporting.

The Company plans to implement enhanced documentation, review and supervision process and procedures over equity transactions. Implementation of such will provide reasonable assurance that the valuation of equity transactions are properly valued.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting

We have made no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the last fiscal year that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
