 Item 1.   Description of Business
 
THE COMPANY
 
Reliability Incorporated has principally been engaged in the design, manufacture, market and support of high performance equipment used to test and condition integrated circuits From 2001 through 2007, Reliability Incorporated and its subsidiaries have sustained significant negative financial results which resulted in the closing or sale of all it’s assets. On April 1, 2007, Reliability completed the merger of its wholly owned subsidiary, Reliability-Medallion, Inc., a Florida corporation, into Medallion Electric Acquisition Corporation and the indirect acquisition, through Medallion Electric Acquisition Corporation, of Medallion Electric, Inc.
 
.However, in early September, 2007 it became apparent, the Company had not been successful in raising debt or equity funds to meet all of the obligations which would be due on October 1, 2007. Therefore, the Reliability Board of Directors passed a resolution on September 25, 2007 that instructed management to enter into an agreement to sell Medallion Electric, Inc. back to the previous owner..
 
The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Texas in 1953, but the principal business of the Company, as described in this report, started in 1971, but was closed down in 2007. The Company had two wholly owned subsidiaries, Reliability Singapore, Pte Ltd. and Reliability Contractors of Florida, neither of which is operating. Upon the completion of the sale of Medallion Electric, the Company has no further operating activities and is now a shell company.
 
Based upon its current financial position, and an evaluation of the prospects for continuing to operate, the Company has concluded that it should sell the Company or identify a merger partner. There can be no assurances that the Company will be successful in completing such a transaction or be able to maintain sufficient liquidity over a period of time that will allow it to carry out this action, in which case the Company might be forced to dissolve or seek protection under the Federal bankruptcy statutes, or both.
 
The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the possible inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.
 
Available sources of liquidity at December 31, 2009 include cash and cash equivalents of $21,000.

Reliability had called a special meeting of stockholders for March 30, 2009, at 1:00 pm CDT. The meeting was held at the Holiday Crown Plaza, 14703 Park Row, Houston, TX 77079. The sole purpose of the meeting is to select a Board of Directors to serve until the next annual meeting of stockholders or until their respective successors are elected. Management did not propose nominees, seek re-election or seek proxies for the meeting.
 
The Board of Directors designated the close of business on March 13, 2009, as the record date for determining which stockholders are entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the meeting.

Item 7.   Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation.
 
The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations of the Company should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes that appear in this document.
 
REVIEW OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
In response to a guidance document that was issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Company completed a review of its significant accounting policies. The results of the review indicated that the accounting policies that the Company has adopted are appropriate for the operations of the Company and that the Company has correctly applied the accounting policies.  See Note 1 to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements for information concerning significant accounting policies.
 
Management’s discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of operations is based on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, if any exist. The Company evaluates its estimates on an on-going basis, including those related to inventories, investments, assets held for sale, intangible assets, income taxes, warranty obligations, bad debts, product returns, long-lived assets and contingencies, if any. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values and disclosure of amounts recorded or disclosed in the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company.

From time to time, the Company may publish forward-looking statements, including those that are contained in this report, relating to such matters as anticipated financial performance, business prospects, technological developments, new products, research and development activities and similar matters. The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a safe harbor for forward-looking statements. In order to comply with the terms of the safe harbor, the Company notes that a variety of factors could cause the Company’s actual results and experience to differ materially from the anticipated results or other expectations expressed in the Company’s forward-looking statements. The risks and uncertainties that may affect the operations, performance, development and results of the Company’s business include, but are not limited to, its ability to maintain sufficient working capital, adverse changes in the economy, the ability to attract and maintain key personnel, its ability to identify or complete an acceptable merger or acquisition, and future results related to acquisition, merger or investment activities.

The financial statements of the Company and the related report of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm thereon are included in this report and are referenced in the financial pages.
 
Item 9.   Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.
 
On March 13, 2009, Fitts, Roberts & Co., P.C. (“Fitts, Roberts”), the Company’s independent accountant, resigned by mutual agreement with the Company, due to scheduling matters at Fitts, Roberts and its withdrawal from the public company auditing practice.

On December 30, 2009, the Company announced that the Board of Directors of the Company by mutual consent had terminated the appointment of Schumacher & Associates, Inc. (“Schumacher”) as independent certifying accountants of the Company, and appointed the firm of Ramirez International Financial & Accounting Services, Inc. as the new independent certifying accountants of the Company.  The Company stated in its December 30, 2009 Form 8-K that, during its two most recently completed fiscal quarters ended June 30 and September 30, 2009 and through the termination date of December 30, 2009 (and in Forms 8-K/A filed February 19 and 25, 2010), there was one disagreements between Schumacher and the Company.

The disagreement involved whether the Company should be filing as a development stage company. Based on the factual circumstances outlined in such Forms 8-K and 8-K/A and FASB pronouncements (as well as the advice of an outside consultant), the Directors believed and continue to believe the Company is not a development stage company and no additional disclosures are necessary.

As reflected in Schumacher’s letter dated February 25, 2010 in the 8-K of that date (as well as those in Forms 8-K/A dated respectively February 19 and 25, 2010), there were no further disagreements with Schumacher on accounting principle or practice, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope, procedure or accounting issue.

Item 9A.   Controls and Procedures.
 
Item 9A(T).   Controls and Procedures.
 
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. The Chief Executive Officer (CEO), evaluated the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the CEO concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report were effective such that the information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to the CEO to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure. A controls system cannot provide absolute assurance, however, that the objectives of the controls system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.
 
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act). 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.
 
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives.
 
The CEO evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009. In making this assessment, the CEO used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control — Integrated Framework. Based on this evaluation, the CEO concluded that, as of December 31, 2009, internal control over financial reporting was effective.
 
The consolidated financial statements of the Company for 2008 and 2009 have been audited by the independent registered public accounting firm of Ramirez International who were given unrestricted access to all financial records and related data, including minutes of all meetings of stockholders and the Board of Directors. This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firms regarding internal account control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

(b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. There were no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting, known to the CEO, that occurred during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Under the Company’s Amended and Restated 1997 Stock Option Plan (“Option Plan”), which expired in 2006, stock option grants were available for officers, directors, and key employees.

The Board of Directors, which acted as the Plan Administrator, determined to whom options were granted, the type of options, the number of shares covered by such options and the option vesting schedule. All options were issued at market value on the date of the grant and generally had a ten-year contractual term with graded vesting.

In addition, the Company contributed an amount equal to 1% of defined compensation to all plan participants.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Reliability Incorporated
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Reliability Incorporated as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
 
We conducted our audit in accordance with the 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 financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Company’s 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 purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control 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 financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Reliability Incorporated at December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the consolidated results of its operations, changes in stockholders’ equity (deficit) and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
 
As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s circumstances raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

1. DISCONTINUANCE OF ALL OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
DISCONTINUANCE OF ALL OPERATIONS AND LIQUIDITY
 
Reliability Incorporated had principally been engaged in the design, manufacture, market and support of high performance equipment used to test and condition integrated circuits From 2001 through 2007, Reliability Incorporated and its subsidiaries have sustained significant negative financial results which resulted in the closing or sale of all it’s assets.
 
On April 1, 2007, Reliability completed the merger of its wholly owned subsidiary, Reliability-Medallion, Inc., a Florida corporation, into Medallion Electric Acquisition Corporation and the indirect acquisition, through Medallion Electric Acquisition Corporation, of Medallion Electric, Inc.
 
However, in early September, 2007 it became apparent, the Company had not been successful in raising debt or equity funds to meet all of the obligations which would be due on October 1, 2007. Therefore, the Reliability Board of Directors passed a resolution on September 25, 2007 that instructed management to enter into an agreement to sell Medallion Electric, Inc. back to the previous owner.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. However, upon the completion of the sale of Medallion Electric, the Company has no further operating activities and is now a shell company. The Company has concluded that it should sell the company or identify a merger partner. There can be no assurances that the Company will be successful in completing such a transaction or be able to maintain sufficient liquidity over a period of time that will allow it to carry out these actions, in which case the Company might be forced to liquidate or seek protection under the Federal bankruptcy statutes, or both.
 
The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the possible inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.
 
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for financial information and with instructions to Form 10-K. The consolidated financial statements include the financial transactions and accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
The Company’s business segments, Services, Testing Products, and Electrical Contracting Services are reported as discontinued operations in the accompanying Balance Sheet and Statement of Operations for each period presented.
 
ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires that management 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 may differ from those estimates.
 
CASH EQUIVALENTS
 
For the purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid cash investments that mature in three months or less when purchased, to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are stated at cost, which approximates fair value.

IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS; ASSETS HELD FOR SALE
 
The Company has adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets . This Statement requires that long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale, including those of discontinued operations, be measured at the lower of carrying value or fair value less costs to sell.
 
STOCK OPTIONS
 
January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 123(R), Share-Based Payment  ( “SFAS 123(R)” ). SFAS 123(R) requires that the compensation cost relating to stock-based payments, including grants of employee stock options, be recognized in financial statements. That cost is measured based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued. SFAS 123(R) allows two methods for determining the effects of the transition: the modified-prospective transition method and the modified-retrospective method of transition. The Company adopted the modified-prospective method. Under this transition method, the Company recognizes the fair value of stock-based compensation awards as compensation expense in its statement of operations on a straight line basis, over the vesting period, for awards granted after January 1, 2006 and for unvested awards outstanding as of December 31, 2005.
 
INCOME TAXES
 
Deferred income taxes are provided under the liability method and reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements. The Company establishes valuation allowances when the realization of specific deferred tax assets are subject to uncertainty. The Company records no tax benefits on its operating losses, as the losses will have to be carried forward and realization of any benefit is uncertain.
 
EARNINGS PER SHARE
 
The Company determines earnings per share in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128, Earnings Per Share. Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity. Since the Company generated net losses in 2008 and 2009, outstanding stock options would have been anti-dilutive and were not considered in these calculations

2. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
 
On April 18, 2006, the Company announced plans to close down its Services division located in Singapore. During the wind down of operations, the division has maintained a small number of employees to complete unfinished jobs, provide limited services for its customers while they seek alternative service providers, prepare equipment for sale and vacate the division’s leased facility. The liquidation of the Company’s former Services division was substantially complete as of June 30, 2007.
 
In April of 2007, following the acquisition of Medallion Electric, the Company concluded that it should abandon its Testing Products business in favor of concentrating all available resources on its newly acquired business line, Electrical Contracting Services.
 
On September 25, 2007, the Company’s Board of Directors passed a resolution to sell Medallion Electric to the previous owner. Therefore, the Electrical Contracting Services (Medallion Electric) is included as a discontinued operation.
 
The assets and liabilities of the Company’s former Services division are reported as assets of discontinued operations and accrued liabilities of discontinued operations in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets for each period presented. The assets and accrued liabilities from discontinued operations are as follows (in thousands):

3. IMPAIRMENT LOSS
 
On October 26, 2007, seven and one half acres of the land and a building that had been held for sale for a number of years were sold for $675,000 cash. The Company retained 10 acres of land adjacent to the property that was sold. An impairment loss of $159,000 was recorded in the third quarter of 2007 to reduce the carrying value of the real estate held for sale. The remaining ten acres was sold in August 2008 with net proceeds received of $98,000, and an impairment loss of $126,000 recorded in June 2008 to reduce the carrying value of the ten acres to its value at final disposition.

The Company has established valuation allowances related to certain tax benefits where management believes that the available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize the tax benefit. The Company intends to maintain a full valuation allowance until sufficient positive evidence exists to support reversal of the valuation allowance.
 
At December 31, 2009, the Company had U.S. net operating loss carryforwards of $15.5 million that will expire commencing in 2023 through 2028. These carryforwards may be subject to certain limitations on annual utilization in the event of a change in ownership, as defined by tax law.
 
The income tax provision for the year ended December 31, 2009 relates to state franchise taxes.

6. EMPLOYEE STOCK SAVINGS PLAN
 
The Reliability Incorporated Employee Stock Saving Plan (the “Plan”) (As Amended and Restated Effective January 1, 2000) was terminated effective November 16, 2006, with all accounts fully vested as of such date. The Company filed the termination of the Plan with the Internal Revenue Service to request a favorable letter of determination and notified all employees covered by the Plan of its termination, and their rights to final payment thereunder. The Company received a favorable letter of determination from the Internal Revenue Service.
 
The Plan allowed eligible United States employees to contribute up to 100% of defined compensation to the Plan and to elect to have contributions not be subject to Federal income taxes under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Company matched employee contributions to the Plan at a rate equal to 50% of the employee’s contribution, but the Company’s matching contribution was limited to 2% of the employee’s defined compensation. The Company also made a voluntary contribution of an amount equal to 1% of the defined compensation of all participants. The Company also contributed a profit sharing amount based on the consolidated profits of the Company. The maximum profit sharing contribution was 5% of compensation. The Company’s contributions for matching and voluntary contributions were $0 in 2007 and $0 in 2008.
 
The Company registered and reserved 500,000 shares in 1992, and registered and reserved 500,000 additional shares in 2001, of common stock for sale to the Plan. The registration statements cover shares purchased both in the open market and from the Company. The Plan did not purchase any shares from the Company during the three-year period ending in
 
At December 31, 2009, 354,300 reserved shares remain unissued under the 2001 registration statement. There are no plans to issue the reserved shares as the plan has been terminated.

7. STOCK OPTION PLAN
 
On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 123(R), Share-Based Payment  ( “SFAS 123(R)” ). SFAS 123(R) requires that the compensation cost relating to stock-based payments, including grants of employee stock options, be recognized in financial statements. The Company recognizes the fair value of stock-based compensation awards as compensation expense in its statement of operations on a straight line basis, over the vesting period, for awards granted after January 1, 2006 and for unvested awards outstanding as of December 31, 2005.
 
The fair value of each option is estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Expected volatilities are based on a number of factors, including historical volatility of the Company’s stock. The Company used the “shortcut”  method described in SAB Topic 14D.2 for determining the expected life used in the valuation model. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant. As the Company has not declared dividends since it became a public entity, no dividend yield is used in the calculation.
 
Under the Company’s Amended and Restated 1997 Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”), no further option grants are allowed after February 26, 2007, but options theretofore granted shall remain in effect until satisfied or terminated pursuant to the Plan. No options were granted under the Plan during the years ended December 31,2008 and 2009.
 
At December 31, 2006, all options were fully vested; thus no further stock option expense has been recorded related to the Plan. The weighted-average remaining contractual term, as of December 31, 2009, was 6.80 years for outstanding and exercisable options. There were no options exercised and none that expired or were canceled during the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2009. The following table summarizes options  outstanding:

All the options outstanding on the 370,000 shares under the Company’s Stock Option Plan are exercisable until July 18, 2016, when they expire. In addition to the options outstanding under the Company’s Stock Option Plan, 100,000 options issued in connection with a business combination were outstanding and exercisable at December 31, 2007 at $1.50 per share. These options were forfeited January 18, 2008.
