The five investor questions

13

2020–2023 (latest 4 aligned FYs; v3 window cap 5): revenue $2.8M to $1.1M, decreasing; diluted EPS 0.01 to -0.01, decreasing.

94

Median gross margin 61.6% over 10y, very stable.

9

Median ROIC -59.6%, above the 12% hurdle in 25% of years.

55

Net cash position — no leverage risk.

24

Owner earnings changed trend unclear over up to the ten most recent annual observations.

Price vs. value if growth stopped today

A cautious baseline, not a price target: what the shares may support if normalized owner earnings simply hold steady.

Above value if growth stopped todayBelow value if growth stopped today
262% above value if growth stopped today

262% above value if growth stopped today

What today’s price assumes: owner earnings growing ~29%/yr over 5 years. The zero-growth estimate assumes owner earnings stay flat (0% growth).

How to read this

We solve for the constant annual change in owner earnings that would make the five-year zero-growth estimate equal today’s price. This keeps the existing model inputs and calculation unchanged; it is an expectations lens, not a forecast.

This zero-growth estimate assumes trailing owner earnings persist — unreliable for declining businesses. The recent FY revenue series does not trigger the three-consecutive-declines flag.

Among the current top-score group, the median current price is 238% above the zero-growth estimate across 49 of the current top 50 companies by Moat Score with both values.

15 years of fundamentals

The business, in plain English

REFLECT SCIENTIFIC, INC. booked $1.1M of revenue in FY2023 in the Healthcare sector and kept 55.2% of it as gross profit — a high-margin business by that measure. After every other cost, −42.5% of each revenue dollar reached the bottom line.

Across the filed record, revenue shrank from $2.4M (FY2010) to $1.1M (FY2023) — about −6.0% a year compounded over 13 years.

It earned −60.1% on invested capital in the latest filed year, FY2023. Across the full 9-year measurable filed record, median ROIC was −59.1%. Over the v3 recent window (8 measurable filed years), median ROIC was −59.6%. The Returns on Capital filter above scores it 9/100.

RSCF's latest filed year, FY2023, doesn't disclose total debt in a form the methodology can use, so current leverage is treated as unmeasured — never assumed to be zero.

Put together: Pricing Power is the strongest of the five filters (94/100) and Returns on Capital the weakest (9/100), which is how RSCF lands at 39/100 — a None moat.

This breakdown is generated from the filed numbers and sub-scores above — no outside narrative, no estimates. Where a filing doesn’t disclose an input, the sentence that would need it is omitted instead of guessed.

The explained ROIC gaps have filed inputs but no meaningful positive invested-capital denominator. Other gaps mean the item is not in the filings for that year. The series is never interpolated or estimated. The Table view lists every filed value, including operating and net margins, total debt, and share count.

Insider activity

Form 4 reports mix P/S market or private transactions with compensation-plan mechanics. Activity casually described as “insider selling” can include compensation mechanics; awards, tax withholding, and option exercises are shown by their exact filed class here, never collapsed into “Bought” or “Sold.”

These are disclosed filing facts and arithmetic aggregates, not a signal or verdict.

This machine-readable surface covers SEC ownership filings from 2003; it does not represent earlier paper-era records.

No reported Form 4 transactions were found in the complete checked issuer window for RSCF, . The totals and cluster result below are arithmetic over that certified window.

Common questions about RSCF

Does REFLECT SCIENTIFIC, INC. have an economic moat?
Based on its FY2023 SEC filings, the Moat Index scores REFLECT SCIENTIFIC, INC. (RSCF) 39.1 out of 100 — below the Shallow-moat bar, so no moat. The five questions behind that score begin at 20% each; if exactly one genuinely lacks data, the other four weights are renormalized and disclosed. revenue and EPS trend 13, pricing power 94, returns on capital 9, balance-sheet safety 55, capital allocation 24.
Is RSCF trading below the conservative owner-earnings estimate?
The value if growth stopped today — a zero-growth baseline — is $0.01 per share. It capitalizes normalized owner earnings at a 9% rate and assumes 0% growth. Versus a recent price of $0.04, that is 262% above value if growth stopped today. The model also publishes a capped-growth comparison, but the zero-growth estimate is the cautious baseline. It assumes trailing owner earnings persist and is unreliable for declining businesses. This is an educational estimate from primary SEC filings, not intrinsic value as a fact or investment advice.
