Item 1.
 Description of Business
 
THE COMPANY
 
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, and was closed down in 2007. The Company has no further operating activities and is now a shell company.
 
The Company has concluded that it should look for acquisitions 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.
 
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.

Copies of this Annual Report, including our financial statements, and our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q as well as other corporate information, including press releases, of interest to our stockholders are available by writing us at 53 Forest Avenue - First Floor, Old Greenwich, Connecticut 06870.

Available sources of liquidity at December 31, 2013 include cash and cash equivalents of less than $1,000.
 
EMPLOYEES
 
The Company has no employees.  It is managed by two directors/officers, with assistance from a contract bookkeeper.
 
Item 1A.
 Risk Factors.
 
The Company Has No Means to Generate Revenue

We have no source of revenue. Our cash balance has been diminished by general and administrative expenses.

The Market For Our Stock Is Not Liquid And The Stock Price Is Subject To Volatility

Our stock is quoted on the OTCQB of the OTC Marketplace under the symbol of “RLBY”, where low trading volume and high volatility is often experienced. While a few firms make a market in our stock, the historically low trading volume and relatively few market makers of our stock make it more likely that a severe fluctuation in volume, either up or down, will significantly impact the stock price. There can be no assurance that these market makers will continue to quote our stock and a reduction in such market makers would negatively impact trading liquidity. Further, with our constrained resources and increased cost and time associated with implementation of Sarbanes-Oxley, it may not be possible for us to remain listed on the OTC Bulletin Board in the future as a fully reporting company. Lastly, the uncertainty of the future of the Company may limit the liquidity of our stock. This and the existing limited market and volume in the trading of our stock, may result in our stockholders having difficulty selling our common stock. The trading price of our common stock has been, and will likely continue to be, subject to wide fluctuations due to the uncertainty of the future of the Company, general market fluctuations and other events and factors, some of which may be beyond our control.

Item 7.
 Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
 
Management’s discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of operations is based on the Company’s 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. 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 financial statements of the Company.
 
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

This discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
 
Our audited financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company’s current circumstances raise substantial doubt about the likelihood that the Company will continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. 
 
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
 
This Management’s Discussion and Analysis and other parts of this report contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, as well as current expectations and assumptions. 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 Company’s actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements, including those set forth elsewhere in this report. The Company assumes no obligation to update any such forward-looking statements.
 
ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
 
Net cash used in operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2013 was $7,036 compared to $25,907 during 2012. The usage of cash was attributable to the net loss, which in turn resulted from general and administrative expenses. The principal items contributing to the usage of $7,036 in 2013 were a loss of $21,244, coupled with a gain on debt forgiveness of $10,000, offset by an increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $24,208.
 
Financing activities provided cash flows of $22,000 in 2012 and $7,000 in 2013.
 
The Company is now a shell corporation. 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.
 
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.
 
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
Net Revenues and Gross Profit
 
Revenues and gross profit for 2013 and 2012 are reported as zero for both years, as all operations were discontinued as of September 30, 2007.
 
General and Administrative
 
General and administrative (“G&A”) expenses primarily consist of legal, accounting and other professional services.
 
G&A expenses increased from approximately $27,000 in 2012 to approximately $46,000 in 2013.

Provision for Income Taxes
 
The Company recorded no provision or benefit for Federal income taxes in 2012 or 2013. Benefits from the tax loss carryforwards have been fully offset by valuation allowances since realization cannot be assured.

Item 9A.
 Controls and Procedures.
 
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. The Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer 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 Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer 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 Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer 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 in accordance with 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 Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013. In making this assessment, the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer 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 Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that, as of December 31, 2013, internal control over financial reporting was effective.
 
The financial statements of the Company for 2012 and 2013 have been audited by the independent registered public accounting firm of Ramirez Jimenez International CPAs 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 from the independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to 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 Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, 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.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
 
Based solely upon a review of Forms 3 and 4 furnished to us during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, we are not aware of any director, officer or beneficial owner of more 10% of the common stock of the Company who failed to file on a timely basis any reports required by Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, except as follows: due to inadvertence, Kyle Hartley was late filing a Form 3 upon becoming a director of the Company.
 
Code of Ethics

At present we have not adopted a Code of Ethics applicable to our directors, officers and employees.
 
Corporate Governance
 
At present, the Company does not have an audit committee.  The entire board of directors is responsible for the assessment and oversight of the Company’s financial risk exposure.
 
Item 11.
 Executive Compensation.
  
The Company did not pay any salary to its officers or Directors in 2012 or 2013.

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 objective of the Option Plan was to promote the interest of the Company by providing an ownership incentive to officers, directors, and key employees, to reward outstanding performance, and to encourage continued employment. 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.

Eberwein Revocable Trust U/A 10-01-2010, for an aggregate purchase price of $100,000 pursuant to that certain Stock Purchase Agreement by and between the Company and Mr. Eberwein dated as of October 1, 2013 (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”).  Mr. Eberwein is a director and officer of the Company.

Also on October 1, 2013, and immediately after issuance of the Eberwein Shares, the Company acquired (i) 1,587,500 shares of the Company’s common stock for $23,392 (approximately $0.0147 per share) from Greggory Schneider, and (ii) 5,199,088 shares of the Company’s common stock for $76,608 (approximately $0.0147 per share) from Jay Gottlieb (collectively, the “Company Redemptions”) pursuant to that certain Stock Redemption Agreement by and between the Company and Mr. Schneider dated as of October 1, 2013 and that certain Stock Redemption Agreement by and between the Company and Mr. Gottlieb dated as of October 1, 2013 respectively. As a result of the Company Redemptions, the Company repurchased a total of 6,786,588 shares of the Company’s common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $100,000.  Each of Mr. Schneider and Mr. Gottlieb were directors and officers of the Company at the time of the Company Redemptions.

On October 1, 2013 Jay Gottlieb released the Company from its obligation to repay $10,000 in loans previously made by Mr. Gottlieb to the Company pursuant to that certain Forgiveness of Debt Agreement dated as of October 1, 2013.  Mr. Gottlieb was a director and officer of the Company at the time of this loan forgiveness.

Our common stock is quoted on the OTCQB of the OTC Marketplace, which does not have director independence requirements.  Under NASDAQ Rule 4200(a)(15), a director is not considered independent if he or she has also been an executive officer or employee of the corporation during the current year or any of the past three years.  As such, only Mr. Hartley can be classified as independent under this definition.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Reliability Incorporated:
 
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Reliability Incorporated (the Company) as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related 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 audits.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits 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 also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the  financial position of Reliability Incorporated as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the  results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has no operating activities. It is now a shell company and its future plans are uncertain. These factors 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.

RELIABILITY INCORPORATED
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2013 and 2012
 
1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Reliability Incorporated (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Texas in 1953, but the principal business of the Company started in 1971, and was closed down in 2007. The Company has no further operating activities and is now a shell company.

GOING CONCERN
 
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has no operating activities and is now a shell company. The Company has concluded that it should look for acquisitions 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 financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 periods. 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.

STOCK OPTIONS
 
Compensation cost relating to stock-based payments, including grants of employee stock options, is recognized in financial statements based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued on the grant date. The Company recognized 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.

RELIABILITY INCORPORATED
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
December 31, 2013 and 2012
 
INCOME TAXES
 
Deferred income taxes are provided under the asset and 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 financial statements. The Company establishes valuation allowances when the realization of specific deferred tax assets is 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
 
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 2013 and 2012, outstanding stock options would have been anti-dilutive and were not considered in these calculations.
 
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The carrying values of cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and loans from officers at December 31, 2013 and 2012 approximated fair value due to their short maturity or nature.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

There were various accounting standards and interpretations issued recently, none of which are expected to a have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

2.  INCOME TAXES

At December 31, 2013, the Company had U.S. net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $15 million that will expire commencing in 2023 through 2032. 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 Company has established valuation allowances to fully offset the deferred income tax assets related to these loss carryforwards, based upon  the available evidence that indicates that it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize the tax benefits. The Company’s income tax returns remain subject to examination for the years 2010 through 2013 for federal and state purposes.

3.  ACCOUNTS PAYABLE AND ACCRUED LIABILITIES
 
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 consist of the following:

4. STOCK OPTION PLAN
 
Under the Company’s Amended and Restated 1997 Stock Option Plan (the Option Plan), no further option grants are allowed after February 26, 2007, but options theretofore granted remain in effect until satisfied or terminated pursuant to the Option Plan.

At December 31, 2006, all options were fully vested; thus no further stock option expense has been recorded related to the Option Plan. The weighted-average remaining contractual term, as of December 31, 2013, was 2.5 years for outstanding and exercisable options. There were no options exercised and none that expired or were canceled during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, there were 370,000 options outstanding under the Option Plan which are exercisable at a weighted average price of $0.21 until July 19, 2016, when they expire.

5.  STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

On October 1, 2013, the Company sold and issued 6,786,588 shares of the Company’s common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $100,000 pursuant to a certain Stock Purchase Agreement.  The common stock was sold to an individual who is a director and officer of the Company.

Also on October 1, 2013, and immediately after issuance of the aforementioned issuance of shares, the Company acquired an aggregate of 6,786,588 share of common stock from two shareholders  pursuant to that certain Stock Redemption Agreement for an aggregate purchase price of $100,000.   The two former shareholders were directors and officers of the Company at the time of the Company redemptions.

6.  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

In January 2013, a then director and officer of the Company loaned $12,000 to the Company on an interest free basis to assist in funding operating expenses.

In March 2013, a then director and officer of the Company loaned $3,000 to the Company on an interest free basis to assist in funding operating expenses.

In April 2013, a then director and officer of the Company loaned $3,000 to the Company on an interest free basis to assist in funding operating expenses.

In June 2013, the Company repaid $13,500 of loans to an individual who was a director and officer of the Company.
In August 2013, a then director and officer of the Company loaned $2,500 to the Company on an interest free basis to assist in funding operating expenses.

On October 1, 2013, a former director and officer of the Company released the Company from its obligation to repay $10,000 in loans previously made by the director to the Company pursuant to that certain Forgiveness of Debt Agreement dated as of October 1, 2013. This individual was a director and officer of the Company at the time of this loan forgiveness.  Such amount has been recorded as a forgiveness of debt and is included in other income on the accompanying 2013 statement of operations.

7.  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On January 15, 2014, the Company issued 3,401,360 shares of common stock to Lone Star Value Investors, LP, an entity controlled by a director and officer of the Company, for proceeds of $50,000.  The proceeds of this issuance will be used to assist in funding the Company’s operating expenses.  No other material subsequent events have occurred since December 31, 2013 that require recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.
