PART I


ITEM 1.  FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS:


When used in this Annual Report and the documents incorporated herein by reference, the terms “anticipates”, “believes”, “expects” and similar expressions are intended to identify in certain circumstances, forward-looking statements.  Such statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected, including the risks described in this Annual Report.  Given these uncertainties, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such statements.  The Company also undertakes no obligation to update those forward-looking statements.


RISK FACTORS


We cannot predict whether we will be able to sustain revenue growth, profitability or positive cash flow.  Our products are sold in highly competitive markets, for instance we compete in different markets against companies like Cisco and Motorola.  Our revenues and operating results can be negatively affected by technology changes in our markets, economic conditions in our markets, and the level of competition in our markets.


Our marketing efforts may be unsuccessful due to limited marketing and sales capabilities.  Limited national advertising and sales coverage may result in the markets in which our products are offered not being fully penetrated.  This lack of market penetration may result in an adverse effect on our sale revenues.  We must continue to develop appropriate marketing, sales, technical, customer service and distribution capabilities, or enter into agreements with third parties to provide these services to successfully market our products. A failure to develop these capabilities or obtain third-party agreements could adversely affect us.


We may be unable to produce products for sale if we are unable to obtain component materials.  Our products require highly specialized components, which are subject to rapid obsolescence, limited availability and design change.  For instance, many of our components are also used in cellular phone, pagers and personal communication devices.  If we cannot obtain material to produce products for sale our sales revenues will be negatively impacted.


Our success depends on our ability to retain key management personnel.  The success of our Company depends in large part on our ability to attract and retain highly qualified management, administrative, manufacturing, sales, and research and development personnel. Due to the specialized nature of our business, it may be difficult to locate and hire qualified personnel.  Our success is significantly dependent on the performance and continued service of key members of Management, such as Chief Executive Officer, Tom Kirchner, Vice President of Engineering, D. Brent Strecker and certain other key employees.  If the services of any members of Management become unavailable for any reason, our business and prospects could be adversely affected. Although we have been successful in retaining highly capable and qualified management in the past, there can be no assurance that we will be able to do so in the future.


We may be adversely affected by government regulation.  The Federal Communication Commission (FCC) governs use of the products we sell.  If the FCC were to implement rules detrimental to our products and the markets in which they are offered our operations would be negatively impacted.


Rapid technological changes in our industry may adversely affect us if we do not keep pace with advancing technology. The wireless communication market is characterized by rapidly advancing technology. Our success depends on our ability to keep pace with advancing technology, processes and industry standards. We intend to continue to develop and enhance our products to meet perceived market opportunities. However, our development efforts may be rendered obsolete by research efforts and technological advances made by others, and devices other than those we currently produce may prove more advantageous.


We have material weaknesses in our internal controls which may result in us not being able to prevent or detect a material misstatement of our financial statements, which could harm our business and result in regulatory scrutiny.  Pursuant to the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“Section 404”), Management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting for the year ending December 31, 2007.  We determined that there was a material weakness affecting our internal control over financial reporting and, as a result of that weakness, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2007.  We have not maintained effective controls to ensure appropriate segregation of duties due to our limited number of employees in



2



finance and administration, with the same employee being responsible for the initiating and recording of transactions, thereby creating segregation of duties weaknesses. Due to this weakness and absence of sufficient other mitigating controls, we determined that this control deficiency resulted in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement or lack of disclosure within the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected.  Avenues for mitigating our internal control weaknesses are being evaluated, but mitigating controls are impractical and prohibitively costly due to the size of our organization.  The material weakness in our internal controls may subject us to regulatory scrutiny with undetermined consequences.

 

The market for our common stock is limited, and as such our shareholders may have difficulty reselling their shares when desired or at attractive market prices.  Our stock price and our listing may make it more difficult for our shareholders to resell shares when desired or at attractive prices.  Our Company stock trades on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board (“OTC Bulletin Board”).   Our common stock has continued to trade in low volumes and at low prices. Some investors view low-priced stocks as unduly speculative and therefore not appropriate candidates for investment. Many institutional investors have internal policies prohibiting the purchase or maintenance of positions in low-priced stocks.


BUSINESS 


Electronic Systems Technology, Inc. (“EST” or the “Company”) specializes in the manufacturing and development of wireless modem products.  The Company uses manufacturing, marketing, and research and development efforts to produce and market the Company’s line of ESTeem (tm) Wireless Modem products and accessories.  The Company offers products, which provide innovative communication solutions for applications not served or underutilized by conventional communication systems.  The Company’s products are offered in the process automation markets in commercial, industrial, and government arenas both domestically and internationally, as well as domestic markets for public safety communications infrastructure.  The Company’s products are marketed through direct sales, sales representatives, and resellers.


The Company was incorporated in the State of Washington in February 1984, and was granted a United States Patent for the “Wireless Computer Modem” in May 1987, and Canadian patent in October 1988.  During 2007, the Company established a "doing business as" or "DBA" structure, based on the Company's registered trade name of ESTeem Wireless Modems.  The “DBA” structure provides the Company with additional flexibility in marketing of the Company’s products.  During the past three years, the Company has continued product improvements and enhancements to incorporate continuing technological developments, and respond to customer needs and market opportunities.  Development efforts during 2007 focused on the continued development and refinement of the ESTeem 195Ep Ethernet licensed 4.9 GHz, spread spectrum radio modem, the ESTeem 195Es unlicensed 900 MHz spread spectrum radio modem, and the ESTeem 195Eg Ethernet based radio modem.  The Model 195Ep modem is designed for operation in the US Government licensed frequency spectrum for Homeland Security and first responder infrastructures.  The ESTeem 195Es modem provides users with both low speed Ethernet and high-speed serial interfaces.  The ESTeem 195Es is targeted at the domestic and foreign industrial automation markets and entered production in the last half of 2007.  In an effort to maintain and expand its customer base, specifically focusing on the industrial control marketplace, the Company continues efforts to team with all major programmable logic controller (PLC) hardware vendors.  During 2007, the Company continued marketing products for use in SCADA, Industrial Automation, Public Safety Communication and Government marketplaces.


PRODUCTS AND MARKETS


The Company’s ESTeem wireless modem product lines provide wireless communication links between computers, peripherals, and instrumentation controls using radio frequency waves.  The proliferation of computer applications in business, industry and public service has created a dynamic environment of automation and networking, requiring constantly growing amounts of data transfer.  Prior to the invention of the ESTeem modem, the majority of data transfers used telephone modems or direct cable connections, both of which have costly side effects.  Telephone modems have a potentially expensive monthly charge for the use of telephone lines, and direct cable connections can have installation costs as much or more than the cost of the communication system.  ESTeem wireless modem products provide a wireless solution for data transfer by eliminating the need for conventional hardwiring and leased phone lines.


All of the ESTeem models (“ESTeems”) come with industry standard asynchronous or Ethernet communications ports, giving users new dimensions to “Local Area Networking”. ESTeem modems work on a “packet burst” communications concept.  Packet systems, whether hardwired or radio, share the same principle of operation: data is taken from RS-232C, RS-422, RS-485 asynchronous or Ethernet ports and transmitted in “Electronic Packets”.  Once a packet of data is formed, the packet is transmitted in a "burst," from one ESTeem modem to another ESTeem modem, hence the term "packet burst communications." Internal Digi-Repeater features allow the user to increase operating range by relaying transmission through multiple ESTeems to reach a destination ESTeem. An ESTeem can operate as an operating node, a repeater node, or both simultaneously, for



3



added flexibility.  Secure data communication is provided in the ESTeem products through use of proprietary technology and industry standard techniques.

ADDITIONAL PRODUCTS AND SERVICES


The Company offers various accessories to support the ESTeem products.  Accessories including antennas, power supplies and cable assemblies, are purchased from other manufacturers and resold by EST to support the application of ESTeem modems.  The Company provides direct services to customers, such as repair and upgrade of ESTeem products.  To assist in the application of ESTeem wireless modems, the Company also offers professional services, site survey testing, system start-up, and custom engineering services.


RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT AND NEW PRODUCTS


The Company’s products compete in an environment of rapidly changing technology.  This environment results in the necessity of the Company to be continually updating and enhancing existing products, as well as developing new products in order to remain competitive.  Research and Development expenditures for new product development and improvements of existing products by the Company for 2007 and 2006 were $497,280 and $401,572, respectively.  None of the Company’s research and development expenses were paid directly by any of the Company’s customers.  During 2007, the Company contracted and will continue to contract, with independent, nonaffiliated, engineering companies specializing in software development and hardware design, when such expertise is required.  


Development efforts during 2007 focused on the continued development and refinement of the ESTeem 195Ep Ethernet licensed 4.9 GHz, spread spectrum radio modem, the ESTeem 195Es unlicensed 900 MHz spread spectrum radio modem, and the ESTeem 195Eg Ethernet based radio modem.  The Model 195Ep modem is designed for operation in the US Government licensed frequency spectrum for Homeland Security and first responder infrastructures.  The ESTeem 195Es modem provides users with both low speed Ethernet and high-speed serial interfaces.  The ESTeem 195Es is targeted at the domestic and foreign industrial automation markets and entered production in the last half of 2007.  The Company plans continued research and development expenditures for development and improvement projects, as they are deemed necessary.  


MARKETING, CUSTOMERS AND SUPPORT


The majority of the Company’s products sold during 2007 were through the reselling efforts of non-exclusive, non-stocking distributors and resellers of the Company’s products, with the remainder of the Company’s sales distributed directly from the Company’s facility through direct sales to end-users of the ESTeem products.  Customers generally place orders on an "as needed basis".  Shipping of products is generally completed 1 to 15 working days after receipt of a customer order, with the exception of ongoing, scheduled projects, and custom designed equipment for specific customer applications.  As of December 31, 2007, the Company had a backlog of $35,000 in sales orders.


During 2007, the Company continued advertising in trade publications specifically targeted at users of control, instrumentation, and automation systems, as well as domestic public safety entities.  The Company’s advertising targeted potential users of Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs).  There are approximately twenty-five major PLC manufacturers worldwide.  The Company has maintained active attendance of tradeshows targeted toward the customers and markets in which it sells products. During 2007, the Company employed sales managers to concentrate marketing and sales efforts in both domestic and Latin American industrial automation, as well as Mobile Data Computers for public safety communication markets.  During 2008, the Company intends to continue strategies targeting existing markets of industrial automation and Mobile Data Computers for public safety networks.  The Company maintains an internet web site to provide access to product and technical information for both present and potential customers of the Company’s products.  Due to the variable configuration possibilities of the Company’s products, and existing reseller relationships, the Company has not implemented an electronic commerce internet website.  The Company provides technical support and service for ESTeem products through phone support, field technicians and internet sources.  The Company believes high quality customer support is necessary and vital to its business.  To maintain a high level of customer support the Company has in the past, and will continue in the future, to make investments and expenditures in support of its customer service programs.

During the year ended December 31, 2007, no sales to any single customer comprised 10% or more of total product sales for the year ended December 31, 2007.  See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”, and “Financial Statements”.


COMPETITION


The Company’s competition varies according to the market in which the Company's products are competing.  All of the markets in which the Company’s products are sold are highly competitive.  Listed below are the markets in which the Company’s products compete in and major competitors in those markets:



Major Market

Major Competitors

Industrial Automation

Data-Linc, Freewave, GE/Microwave Data Systems and Prosoft.

 

Computer networking, inter and intra building, and remote

internet access.

Adaptive Broadband, Cisco, Digital Wireless, Dlink, Linksys,

P-Com and Proxim

 

Mobile Data Computer systems for public safety

applications

Data Radio, IP Mobilenet, GE/Microwave Data Systems,

Motorola, Trango Broadband, and various cellular service

providers using GPRS architectures.


Management believes the ESTeem products compete favorably in the market because of performance, price, and adaptability of the products to a wide range of applications.  The Company's major limitation in competing with other manufacturers is its limited marketing budget, which currently limits the Company’s nationwide advertising and sales force presence.


PATENTS, TRADEMARKS, AND PROPRIETARY INFORMATION


EST was granted a United States patent in 1987 for a "Wireless Computer Modem".  In 1988, EST was granted a Canadian patent for a "Wireless Computer Modem".  Both patents had lives of 17 years and have expired.  The Company’s rights to the ESTeem Wireless Modem trademark, in uninterrupted use by the Company since 1985, were renewed in 2005.  To protect the Company against unauthorized disclosure of proprietary information belonging to the Company, all employees, dealers, distributors, original equipment manufacturers, sales representatives and other persons having access to confidential information regarding Company products or technology are bound by non-disclosure agreements.


GOVERNMENT REGULATION


For operation in the United States, the ESTeem Radio Modems require Federal Communications Commission (FCC) type acceptance.  The FCC type acceptance is granted for devices, which demonstrate operation within mandated and tested performance criteria.  All of the Company’s products requiring FCC type acceptance have been granted such acceptance.  All of the Company’s current ESTeem production models have also been granted type acceptance in Canada.  


The ESTeem radio modem products that operate in the FCC licensed frequency band require licensing under Part 90 of the FCC Rules and Regulations, which must be applied for by the end user of the Company’s products.  The Company cannot guarantee customers will receive FCC licenses in the frequency spectrum for any particular application.  The Company provides information to customers to assist in the application for FCC consumer licenses.  The ESTeem 195Eg and 195Es products operate in the nonlicensed, 2.4 GHz and 900 MHz spread spectrum frequency band, respectively, which do not require licenses for users of those products.


At the time of this filing the Company is unaware of any existing or proposed FCC regulation that would have a materially adverse effect on the Company’s operations, but there can be no assurance that future FCC regulations will not have materially adverse effects on the operations of the Company.


SOURCE OF SUPPLY AND MANUFACTURING


The Company purchases certain components necessary for the production of the ESTeem products from sole suppliers.  Components manufactured by Hitachi, Intersil, Integrated Microelectronics, Motorola Corporation, Mitsubishi, Murata Corporation, Rakon and Toko America Inc. as purchased through a number of distributors, supply key components for the Company’s products.  The components provided by these companies could be replaced or substituted by other products, if it



6



became necessary to do so.  If this action occurs, a material interruption of production and/or material cost expenditures, for example involved with locating and qualifying replacement components, could take place.


Approximately 10% of the Company’s inventory at December 31, 2007 consisted of parts having lead times ranging from 12 to 16 weeks.  Some parts are maintained at high levels to assure availability to meet production requirements, and accordingly, account for a significant portion of the Company’s inventory value.  Based on past experience with component availability, distributor relationships, and inventory levels, the Company does not foresee shortages of materials used in production.  However, developments in the electronic component marketplace, involving components used by the Company which are also used in cellular phones, pagers and other personal technology devices, have the potential of creating negative availability and delivery issues for components used by the Company.  The Company has been able to procure parts on a timely basis as of the date of this report, however procurement cannot be guaranteed in the future.  If shortages were to occur, material interruption of production and product delivery to customers could occur.   


For assembly of the Company’s products, the Company contracts with Manufacturing Services, Inc., in Kennewick, Washington, using materials provided by the Company.  By contracting with Manufacturing Services, Inc., the Company is able to avoid staff fluctuations associated with operating its own manufacturing operation.  The President of Manufacturing Services, Michael Brown, as well as the former President of Manufacturing Services, Melvin H. Brown, are both Directors of the Company.  Management believes all prices for services, provided by Manufacturing Services, Inc., are as favorable as could be obtained from comparable manufacturing services companies.  See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”, and “Financial Statements”.


REPORTS TO SECURITY HOLDERS


The Registrant does not issue annual or quarterly reports to security holders other than the annual Form 10-KSB and quarterly Forms 10-QSB as electronically filed with the SEC.  Electronically filed reports may be accessed at www.sec.gov.  Interested parties also may read and copy any material filed with the SEC at the SEC’s Public Reference Room at 450 Fifth Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20549.  Information may be obtained on the operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at 1(800) SEC-0330.


EMPLOYEES


As of December 31, 2007, the Company employed a staff of 16 persons on a full time basis, 3 in sales/marketing, 3 in technical support, 9 in engineering/manufacturing, and 1 in finance and administration.  The Company’s operations are dependent upon key members of its engineering and management personnel.  In the event services of these key individuals were lost to the Company, adverse effects on the Company’s operations may be realized.  The Company employs part-time labor on an “as needed” basis, usually in engineering/manufacturing.  At year-end 2007 the Company employed 3 part-time employees.  None of the Company’s employees are represented by a labor union and the Company believes it has good relations with its employees.


ITEM 2.  PROPERTIES


EST does not own any real property, plants, mines, or any other materially important physical properties.  The Company's administrative offices, inventory and laboratories are located in leased facilities at 415 N. Quay Street, Bldg B1, Kennewick, Washington.  The Company leases approximately 8,600 square feet of office and laboratory space by a lease agreement with the Port of Kennewick in Kennewick, Washington.  As of January 1, 2008, the total monthly lease cost is $4,070.  The lease covers a period of three years, expiring September 2008.


The Company also owns miscellaneous assets, such as computer equipment, laboratory equipment, and furnishings.  The Company does not have any real estate holdings, nor investments in real estate.  The Company maintains insurance in such amounts and covering such losses, contingencies and occurrences that the Company deems adequate to protect its property.  Insurance coverage includes a comprehensive liability policy covering legal liability for bodily injury or death of persons, and for property owned by, or under the control of the Company, as well as damage to the property of others.  The Company maintains key man life insurance protecting the Company in the event of the death of the Company President.  The Company also maintains fidelity insurance which provides coverage to the Company in the event of employee dishonesty.

ITEM 6.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Management’s discussion and analysis is intended to be read in conjunction the Company’s audited financial statements the integral notes thereto.  The following statements may be forward-looking in nature and actual results may differ materially.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


GENERAL:  The Company specializes in the manufacturing and development of wireless modem products.  The Company offers product lines which provide innovative communication solutions for applications not served by existing conventional communication systems.  The Company offers product lines in markets for process automation in commercial, industrial and government arenas domestically, as well as internationally, and domestically to public safety entities for mobile data computer terminal (MDC) applications.  The Company markets its products through direct sales, sales representatives, and domestic, as well as foreign, resellers.  Operations of the Company are sustained solely from revenues received through sales of its products and services.   


FISCAL YEAR 2007 vs. FISCAL YEAR 2006


GROSS REVENUES: Total revenues for the fiscal year 2007 were $3,085,510 reflecting a 16% increase from $2,666,120 gross revenues for fiscal year 2006.  The increase in total revenues is the result of increased product sales and increased interest revenues during 2007. Product sales increased to $3,002,521 in 2007, as compared to 2006 sales of $2,617,810, reflecting a sales increase of 15%. Management believes the increase in sales revenues were the result of increases in foreign and domestic sales of products used in Industrial Automation applications.  The Company’s products being employed in large industrial automation projects in Colombia during 2007 resulted in a significant increase in foreign sales revenues.  The Company’s domestic sales decreased slightly during 2007 due to the effect of weaker than expected product sales for MDC applications. Management believes the reduced  MDC sales were due to reduced funding for projects involving the Company’s products, extended procurement cycle for public safety entities, and reduced sales manager activity during the first half of 2007.  During 2008, the Company intends to continue targeting existing markets of industrial controls and MDC applications, and continued sales manager activities for increased coverage and exposure in the domestic industrial automation market.  Management remains committed to implementing existing marketing strategies, however sustaining or increasing sales revenues for 2008 cannot be guaranteed due to the highly competitive markets in which the Company’s products and services are marketed.


Interest revenues increased to $81,272 from 2006 levels of $48,310 due to increased rates of return received on the Company’s investments.


OPERATING SEGMENTS


Segment information is prepared on the same basis that the Company’s Management reviews financial information for operational decision-making purposes.  The Company’s operating segment information is contained in “Financial Statements, Notes to Financial Statements, Note 13 – Segment Reporting”.


Domestic Revenues


The Company’s domestic operations represent 70% of the Company’s total net revenues.  Domestic operations sell ESTeem modem products, accessories and service primarily through domestic resellers, as well as directly to end users of the Company’s products.  Domestic revenues decreased to $2,144,647 for the year ended 2007, compared to $2,149,021 for the year ended 2006.  The decrease in domestic revenues is attributable to decreased sales for MDC applications during 2007.  Management believes MDCS sales were weaker than expected during 2007 due to reduced funding for projects involving the Company’s products, extended procurement cycle for public safety entities, and reduced sales manager activity during the first half of 2007.  A majority of the Company's domestic product sales during 2007 were employed in industrial automation applications. An example of an industrial automation application is a municipal water treatment operation, which employs the ESTeem modem to transmit industrial control information to and from control room areas via a wireless communications infrastructure.  It is the opinion of Management that industrial automation applications will continue to provide the largest portion of the Company's revenues in the foreseeable future.  The Company’s domestic industrial automation sales increased during 2007, offsetting weaker than expected sales for MDC applications.  Management believes the growth in domestic industrial automation revenues is the result of increased sales manager and reseller activity when compared to 2006.




9



The Company’s domestic sales included sales of the Company’s products for MDC systems to public entities, which accounted for 8% of the Company’s domestic sales during 2007.  Management believes MDCS sales were weaker than expected during 2007 due to reduced funding for projects involving the Company’s products, extended procurement cycle for public safety entities, and reduced sales manager activity during the first half of 2007.  The Company hired a sales manager focused primarily on the MDCS market place late in the second quarter of 2007.  Management believes the activities of this focused sales manager will have positive effects in MDCS revenues.  An example of an MDC system for a public entity is a local area network (LAN), between police department computer dispatch centers and individual police vehicles. Management believes funding of MDC projects on local, state and federal levels cannot be guaranteed and therefore MDC projects involving the Company’s products become very difficult to predict.


Domestic segment operating income decreased to $311,594 for 2007 as compared with $427,513 for 2006 due to increased operating expenses during 2007 when compared with 2006.


Foreign Revenues


The Company’s foreign operating segment represents 30% of the Company’s total net revenues.  The foreign operating segment is based wholly in the United States and maintains no assets outside of the United States.  The foreign operating segment sells ESTeem modem products, accessories and service primarily through foreign resellers, as well as directly to end customers of the Company’s products located outside the United States.  


During 2007, the Company had $940,863 in foreign export sales, amounting to 30% of gross revenues for the year, compared with foreign export sales of $517,099 for 2006, reflecting an increase of 82%.  The increase is attributable primarily to increased sales of the Company’s products for use in several industrial automation applications in Colombia.  Products purchased by foreign customers were used primarily in industrial automation applications.  Management believes the majority of foreign export sales are the results of the Company’s Latin American sales staff, EST foreign reseller activity, and the Company’s internet website presence.  


Operating income for the foreign segment increased to $481,822 for 2007 as compared with $189,327 for 2006 due to increased sales revenues for the segment during 2007.


Unallocated Corporate


Unallocated corporate expenses relate to functions, such as accounting, corporate management and administration, that support but are not attributable to the Company’s domestic or foreign operating segments, include salaries, wages and other expenses related to the performance of these support functions.  Unallocated corporate expenses increased during 2007 to $330,281 as compared with $273,826 for 2006, and represented expense to total net revenue percentage of 11% and 10% respectively.  The increase during 2007 was the result of increased professional services expenses, profit sharing bonuses accrued for 2007 profitability and segment related wages, when compared with 2006.


As of December 31, 2007, the Company had a backlog of $35,000 in sales orders.  The Company’s customers generally place orders on an "as needed basis".  Shipment for the Company’s products is generally completed within 1 to 15 working days after receipt of customer orders, with the exception of ongoing, scheduled projects, and custom designed equipment for specific customer applications.


COST OF SALES:  Cost of Sales, as a percentage of gross sales, was 38% and 39% respectively, for 2007 and 2006.  Cost of Sales variances are the result of the product mix sold, as well as differences in the price discounting structure for the mix of products sold during the period.


INVENTORY:  The Company's year-end inventory values for 2007 and 2006 were as follows:


 

2007

2006

Parts

$250,701

$255,793

Work in progress

108,101

108,162

Finished goods

239,399

218,960

TOTAL

$598,201

$582,915


The Company's objective is to maintain inventory levels as low as possible to provide maximum cash liquidity, while at the same time, meet production and delivery requirements. Approximately 10% of the Company’s inventory at December 31, 2007



10



consisted of parts having lead times ranging from 12 to 16 weeks. Some parts are maintained at high levels to assure availability to meet production requirements, and accordingly, account for a significant portion of the Company’s inventory value.  Based on past experience with component availability, distributor relationships, and inventory levels, the Company does not foresee shortages of materials used in production.  However, developments in the electronic component marketplace, involving components used by the Company which are also used in cellular phones, pagers and other personal technology devices, have the potential of creating negative availability and delivery issues for components used by the Company.  The Company has been able to procure parts on a timely basis as of the date of this report, however procurement cannot be guaranteed in the future.  If shortages were to occur, material interruption of production and product delivery to customers could occur.  Inventory levels increased between December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2007, due to the Company increasing production and finished goods levels to meet increased sales activity during 2007.  


OPERATING EXPENSES: Operating expenses increased to $1,467,051 in 2007, from 2006 levels of $1,282,761.  Material changes in expenses are comprised of the following components: Advertising expense decreased to $9,040 from $17,558 in 2006 due to timing differences in trade publication advertising when compared with 2006.  Depreciation expense decreased during 2007 to $54,433 from 2006 levels of $59,401 due to the Company’s decreased assets when compared with 2006.  Supplies and materials expense decreased to $44,740 for 2007 from 2006 levels of $49,850 due to decreased research and development related supplies employed in product development during 2007. Professional services expense increased to $333,603 from 2006 levels of $191,817 due to significantly increased subcontracted software development and engineering expertise contracted by the Company during 2007, and increased administrative related contracted professional services.  Travel expenses increased to $100,553 for 2007, compared to $85,145 for 2006, due to increased sales and customer support related activities when compared with 2006.  Salaries, benefits and related taxes increased to $1,186,450 in 2007, from 2006 levels of $1,012,199, due to wages paid by the Company for additional employees hired during 2007 when compared with 2006.


FISCAL YEAR 2006 vs. FISCAL YEAR 2005


GROSS REVENUES: Total revenues for the fiscal year 2006 were $2,666,120 reflecting an 8% increase from $2,460,506 gross revenues for fiscal year 2005.  The increase in total revenues is the result of increased interest revenues and a small increase in product sales revenues during 2006. Product sales increased to $2,617,810 in 2006, as compared to 2005 sales of $2,417,700, reflecting a sales increase of 8%. Management believes the increase in sales revenues were the result of increases in domestic MDC sales and foreign sales.  The growth in MDC sales was due to the completion of a large MDC project using the Company’s products in the State of Mississippi during 2006.  The Company’s products being employed in a large industrial automation project in Colombia during 2006 resulted in increased foreign sales revenues.  The Company’s domestic industrial automation sales did not experience any growth during 2006.  Management believes the lack of growth in domestic industrial automation revenues is the continuation of a pattern seen in 2005 and is the result of continued product and price competition in the industrial automation market.


Interest revenues increased to $48,310 from 2005 levels of $42,806 due to increased rates of return received on the Company’s investments.


OPERATING SEGMENTS


Segment information is prepared on the same basis that the Company’s Management reviews financial information for operational decision-making purposes.  The Company’s operating segment information is contained in “Financial Statements, Notes to Financial Statements, Note 13 – Segment Reporting”.


Domestic Revenues


The Company’s domestic operations represent 81% of the Company’s total net revenues.  Domestic operations sell ESTeem modem products, accessories and service primarily through domestic resellers, as well as directly to end users of the Company’s products.  Domestic revenues increased to $2,149,021 for the year ended 2006, compared to $2,001,143 for the year ended 2005, reflecting an increase of 7%.  The increase in domestic revenues is attributable to increased sales for MDC applications during 2006. A majority of the Company's domestic product sales during 2006 were employed in industrial automation applications. An example of an industrial automation application is a municipal water treatment operation, which employs the ESTeem modem to transmit industrial control information to and from control room areas via a wireless communications infrastructure.  It is the opinion of Management that industrial automation applications will continue to provide the largest portion of the Company's revenues in the foreseeable future.  The Company’s domestic industrial automation sales did not experience any growth during 2006.  Management believes the lack of growth in domestic industrial automation revenues is the continuation of a pattern seen in 2005 and is the result of continued product and price competition in the industrial automation market.



11




The Company’s domestic sales were augmented by sales of the Company’s products for MDC systems to public entities, which accounted for 25% of the Company’s domestic sales during 2006. The growth in MDC sales was due to the completion of a large MDC project using the Company’s products in the State of Mississippi during 2006.  An example of an MDC system for a public entity is a local area network (LAN), between police department computer dispatch centers and individual police vehicles. Management believes funding of MDC projects on local, state and federal levels cannot be guaranteed and therefore MDC projects involving the Company’s products become very difficult to predict.


Domestic segment operating income increased to $427,513 for 2006 as compared with $225,967 for 2005 due to increased profit margin on the products and services sold during 2006 when compared with 2005.


Foreign Revenues


The Company’s foreign operating segment represents 19% of the Company’s total net revenues.  The foreign operating segment is based wholly in the United States and maintains no assets outside of the United States.  The foreign operating segment sells ESTeem modem products, accessories and service primarily through foreign resellers, as well as directly to end customers of the Company’s products located outside the United States.  


During 2006, the Company had $517,099 in foreign export sales, amounting to 19% of gross revenues for the year, compared with foreign export sales of $459,363 for 2005, reflecting an increase of 13%.  The increase is attributable to increased sales revenues in Latin America, particularly Colombia where the Company’s products were installed in a large industrial automation application. Products purchased by foreign customers were used primarily in industrial automation applications.  Management believes the majority of foreign export sales are the results of the Company’s Latin American sales staff, EST foreign reseller activity, and the Company’s internet website presence.  


Operating income for the foreign segment increased to $189,327 for 2006 as compared with $169,632 for 2005 due to increased sales revenues for the segment during 2006.


Unallocated Corporate


Unallocated corporate expenses relate to functions, such as accounting, corporate management and administration, that support but are not attributable to the Company’s domestic or foreign operating segments, including salaries, wages and other expenses related to the performance of these support functions.  Unallocated corporate expenses increased during 2006 to $273,826 as compared with $220,842 for 2005, and represented expense to total net revenue percentage of 10% and 9% respectively.  The increase during 2006 was the result of increased profit sharing bonuses accrued for 2006 profitability, recognition of share based compensation, increased state taxes and professional services when compared with 2005.


OPERATING EXPENSES: Operating expenses increased to $1,282,761 in 2006, from 2005 levels of $1,140,174.  Material changes in expenses are comprised of the following components: Advertising increased to $17,558 from $12,679 in 2005 due to timing differences in trade publication advertising when compared with 2005.  Sales Commissions decreased to $4,144 in 2006 due to decreased commissions paid to third parties when compared with 2005.  Depreciation expense decreased during 2006 to $59,401 from 2005 levels of $71,031 due to the Company’s decreased assets when compared with 2005.  Supplies and materials expense increased to $49,850 for 2006 from 2005 levels of $25,789 due to increased research and development related supplies employed in product development during 2006. Professional services increased to $191,817 from 2005 levels of $100,785 due to increased subcontracted software development and engineering expertise employed by the Company during 2006. Rent and Utilities expense increased to $53,751 during 2006 as compared with $44,072 during 2005 due to the Company moving to a larger leased facility during the fourth quarter of 2005.  Telephone expenses decreased during 2006 to $12,935 as compared to $15,161 during 2005 due to a temporary reduction in sales personnel during 2006.  Travel expenses decreased to $85,145 for 2006, compared to $119,278 for 2005, due to decreased sales and customer support related activities when compared with 2005.  Salaries, benefits and related taxes, decreased to $1,012,199 in 2006, from 2005 levels of $1,030,027, due to wages paid by the Company decreasing as a result of the Company having a net loss of three employees during 2006 when compared with 2005.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES


The Company’s revenues and expenses resulted in net income of $319,322 for 2007, increased from net income of $226,089 for 2006.  The increase in net income is the result of increased sales revenues and increased interest income, when compared with 2006. At December 31, 2007, the Company's working capital was $3,046,967 compared with $2,824,793 at December 31, 2006.  The Company’s operations rely solely on the income generated from sales.  The Company's major capital resource



12



requirements are payment of employee salaries and benefits and maintaining inventory levels adequate for production.  Extended availability for components critical for production of the Company’s products, ranging from 12 to 16 weeks, require the Company to maintain high inventory levels.  It is Management’s opinion that the Company’s working capital as of December 31, 2007 is adequate for expected resource requirements for the next twelve months.


The Company's current asset to current liability ratio at December 31, 2007 was 13.2:1 compared to 10.1:1 at December 31, 2006.  The increase in current asset ratio is the result of increased certificate of deposit investments and decreased federal income taxes payable at year-end 2007, when compared with 2006.  


The Company's cash resources at December 31, 2007, including cash and cash equivalent liquid assets, were $1,479,985, compared to cash resources of $1,487,848 at year-end 2006.  The Company’s cash and cash equivalent assets are held in checking and money market investment accounts.


As of January 1, 2005, the Company entered into a 39-month agreement with Netsuite Inc. to provide the Company’s customer relationship management and accounting software and related network infrastructure services.  The current portion of the prepaid Netsuite Inc. services as of December 31, 2007, is reflected in prepaid expenses and amounted to $6,500.


The Company's trade accounts receivable, adjusted for allowance for uncollectible accounts, at December 31, 2007, were $281,064, compared to $401,127 at year-end 2006.  The decrease is the result of timing differences in sales and collections when compared with unusually strong sales late in December of 2006.  Management believes that all of the Company’s accounts receivable as of December 31, 2007 are collectible.


The Company believes the level of risk associated with customer receipts on export sales is minimal.  Foreign shipments are made only after payment has been received, irrevocable letter of credit terms have been pre-arranged, or on Net 30 day credit terms to established foreign companies with which the Company has distributor relationships.  Foreign orders are generally filled as soon as they are received therefore, foreign exchange rate fluctuations do not impact the Company.


Inventory levels as of December 31, 2007, were $598,201, reflecting an increase from December 31, 2006 levels of $582,915. The increase in inventory between December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2007, is due to the Company increasing production and finished goods levels to meet increased sales activity during 2007.  


The Company had capital expenditures during 2007 of $49,219 primarily for production related test equipment and software, and computer system upgrades.  The Company intends on investing in additional capital equipment as deemed necessary to support development and manufacture of current and future products.  As of December 31, 2007, the Company's current liabilities were $248,860, decreased from 2006 year-end levels of $310,351.  The decrease was the result of decreased levels of federal income taxes payable when compared with year-end 2006.


The Company had no off balance sheet arrangements for the year ended December 31, 2007.


Inflation had minimal adverse effect on the Company’s operations during 2007.  Minimal adverse effect is anticipated during 2008.


FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS: The above discussion may contain forward-looking statements that involve a number of risks and uncertainties.  In addition to the factors discussed above, among other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially are the following: competitive factors such as rival wireless architectures and price pressures; availability of third party component products at reasonable prices; inventory risks due to shifts in market demand and/or price erosion of purchased components; change in product mix, and risk factors that are listed in the Company’s reports and registrations statements filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


Board of Directors

Electronic Systems Technology, Inc.

415 N. Quay – Building B1

Kennewick, WA 99336


We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Electronic Systems Technology, Inc., dba ESTeem Wireless Modems, as of December 31, 2007 and  2006, and the related statements of income, comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2007.  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 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 its internal control over financial reporting.  Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting.  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 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 Electronic Systems Technology, Inc., as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2007, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.


Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole.  The supplemental schedules of operating expenses and selected financial data are presented for purposes of additional analyses and are not a required part of the basic financial statements.  Such supplemental schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the examination of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies


Business Organization


The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Washington on February 10, 1984, primarily to develop, produce, sell and distribute wireless modems that will allow communication between peripherals via radio frequency waves.  On November 12, 1984, the Company sold 3,000,000 shares of its unissued common stock to the public at an offering price of $.30 per share, arbitrarily determined by the underwriter.


September 13, 2007, announced their establishment of a “doing business as” or dba structure, based on the Company’s registered trade name of ESTeem (tm) Wireless Modems.


Accounting Estimates


The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses.  Estimates used in the accompanying financial statements include allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable, inventory obsolescence, useful lives of depreciable assets, and deferred income taxes.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.


Concentrations of Credit Risks


Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk consists of cash and customer receivables.  


The Company places its cash with two major financial institutions.  During the period, the Company had cash balances that were in excess of federally insured limits.


The Company’s customers, to which trade credit terms are extended, consist of United States and local governments and foreign and domestic companies.


Revenue Recognition


The Company recognizes revenue from product sales when the goods are shipped or delivered and title and risk of loss pass to the customer.  Provision for certain sales incentives and discounts to customers are accounted for as reductions in sales in the period the related sales are recorded.  Products sold to foreign customers are shipped after payment is received in U.S. funds, unless an established distributor relationship exists or the customer is a foreign branch of a U.S. company.


Revenues from site support and engineering services are recognized as the Company performs the services.  Amounts billed and collected before the services are performed are included in deferred revenues.  Revenue is recognized based upon proportional performance when the contract contains performance milestones.


Due to the specialized nature of the products sold, the Company does not generally sell its products with the right of return; therefore returns are reported when they occur.


The Company warrants its products as free of manufacturing defects and provides a refund of the purchase price, repair or replacement of the product for a period of one year from the date of installation by the first user/customer.  No allowance for estimated warranty repairs or product returns has been recorded.

Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)


Financial Instruments


The Company’s financial instruments are cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable.  The recorded values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their fair values based on their short-term nature.


Cash and Cash Equivalents


Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of cash, certificates of deposit and money market accounts purchased with original maturities of three months or less.


Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts


The Company uses the allowance method to account for uncollectible accounts receivable.  Accounts receivable are presented net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of $2,126 and $3,059 as of December 31, 2007 and 2006,respectively.  The Company’s policy for writing off past due accounts receivable is based on the amount, time past due, and response received from the subject customer.


Accounts receivable include $1,118 of amounts due which are over ninety days past due at December 31, 2007.   


Inventory


Inventories are stated at lower of direct cost or market.  Cost is determined on an average cost basis that approximates the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.  Market is determined based on net realizable value and consideration is given to obsolescence.


Patent Costs


Expenses incurred in connection with the patent have been capitalized and are being amortized over 17 years.  The patent was fully amortized at December 31, 2006.  


Property and Equipment


Property and equipment are carried at cost.  Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.  The useful life of property and equipment for purposes of computing depreciation is five to seven years.  The Company periodically reviews its long-lived assets for impairment and, upon indication that the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable, recognizes an impairment loss by a charge against current operations.  The Company normally capitalizes non consumable assets with a cost greater than one thousand dollars.


Investments


Certificates of deposit with original maturities ranging from three months to twelve months were purchased for $900,000, at December 31, 2007.

Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)


Capitalized Software Costs


Capitalized software costs consist of costs to purchase and develop software.  The Company capitalizes the costs of creating a software product to be sold, leased or otherwise marketed, for which technological feasibility has been established.  Amortization of the software product, on a product-by-product basis, begins on the date the product is available for distribution to customers and continues over the estimated revenue-producing life, not to exceed five years.  All software costs were fully amortized at December 31, 2006.


Income Taxes


The provision for income taxes is computed on the pretax income based on the current tax law.  Deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each year-end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates.


Research and Development


Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.  Research and development expenditures for new product development and improvements of existing products by the Company for 2007, 2006, and 2005, were $497,280, $401,572, and $280,052, respectively.


Advertising Costs


Costs incurred for producing and communicating advertising are expensed when incurred.  Advertising costs for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005, were $9,040, $17,558, and $12,679, respectively.


Comprehensive Income


Comprehensive income consists of net income and unrealized losses on marketable equity investments.


Reclassifications


Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior years’ financial statements to conform to the current year presentation.  These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported results of operations or retained earnings.


Share-Based Compensation


Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS 123R, a revision of SFAS 123, “share-based payment”.  SFAS 123R requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, be measured at fair value and expensed in the statement of operations over the service period.  See Note 7 for additional information.  In addition to the recognition of expense in the financial statements, under SFAS 123R, any excess tax benefits received upon exercise of options will be presented as a financing activity inflow rather than an adjustment of operating activity as presented in prior years.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements


In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007.  The purpose of this statement is to permit entities to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair market value that are not currently required to be measured at fair market value.  This statement also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between entities that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities.  The Company is in the process of reviewing and evaluating SFAS 159, but does not believe that its adoption will have a material impact on the Financial Statements.  


In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 157, “Fair Value Measurement”, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007.  The purpose of this statement is to define fair value, establish a framework for measuring fair value, and expand disclosures about fair value measurements.  The Company is in the process of reviewing and evaluating SFAS 157, but does not believe that its adoption will have a material impact on the Financial Statements.

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction.  The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal income tax examination by tax authorities for years before 2003.  January 1, 2007, the Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (FIN48).  FIN48 prescribes a minimum probability threshold that a tax position must meet before a financial statement benefit is recognized.  The tax benefit to be recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement.  The Company has evaluated all tax positions for open years and has concluded that they have no material unrecognized tax benefits.  


For the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005, the Company recognized penalties of $2,314, $2,805, and $2,384, respectively, in the provision for federal income taxes.

Share-Based Compensation


Effective for January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS 123R using the modified prospective transition method.  The Company previously accounted for these plans under the recognition and measurement principles of Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (APB25), and related interpretations and disclosure requirements established by SFAS 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”.


The Company grants stock options to individual employees and directors with three years continuous tenure.  After termination of employment, stock options may be exercised within ninety days.


The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions used for grants in:


   2005

 2007

   2006

Expected term (in years)

    3

      3

      3

Estimated fair value per

option granted

$0.21

  $0.25

  $0.34


The average risk-free interest rate is based on the three-year U.S. Treasury Bond rate in effect as of the grant date.  The expected volatility is determined using a weighted average of weekly historical volatility of the stock price over a period of one year prior to the grant dates.  The Company uses historical data to estimate option exercise rates.  The option exercise rate for option grants in 2007 was eleven percent.  


In the year ended December 31, 2007, and 2006, respectively, the Company recognized $4,099 and $6,287 in share-based compensation expense.  No non-vested share-based compensation arrangements existed as of December 31, 2007.  


In year ended December 31, 2005, the Company adopted the disclosure-only provisions of SFAS 123.  Accordingly, no compensation expense had been recognized for the stock option plan.  Had compensation expense for the Company’s stock option plan been determined, based on the fair value at the grant date for awards, the Company’s net earnings and earnings per share would have been reduced to the pro forma amounts indicated below:

Segment Reporting


Segment information is prepared on the same basis that the Company’s management reviews financial information for operational decision making purposes.  Electronic Systems Technology, Inc., has two reportable segments, domestic and foreign, based on the geographic location of the customers.  Both segments sell radio modem products (requiring an FCC license or license free Ethernet products), related accessories for radio modem products for industrial automation projects, and mobile data computer products.  The foreign segment sells the Company’s products and services outside the United States.  



Domestic customers represent approximately seventy percent of total net revenues. Foreign customers represent approximately thirty percent of total net revenues.  No individual customer comprised more than ten percent of sales revenue.  Revenues from foreign countries, consist primarily of revenues from Canada, Mexico, and South American countries.  


The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies, Note 1.  Management evaluates performance based on net revenues and operating expenses.  Administrative functions such as finance and information systems are centralized.  However, where applicable, portions of the administrative function expenses are allocated between the operating segments.  The operating segments share the same manufacturing and distributing facilities.  Costs of operating the manufacturing plant, equipment, inventory, and accounts receivable are allocated directly to each segment.  


Summary financial information for the two reportable segments is as follows:

ITEM 8.  CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE.

ITEM 8A.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.


Conclusions of Management Regarding Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.


Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 15d-15(e) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that there was a material weakness affecting our internal control over financial reporting and, as a result of this weakness, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2007.


Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting.


The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the company. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Internal control over financial reporting includes maintaining records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect our transactions; providing reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary for preparation of our financial statements; providing reasonable assurance that receipts and expenditures of company assets are made in accordance with management authorization; and providing reasonable assurance that unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of company assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements would be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting is not intended to provide absolute assurance that a misstatement of our financial statements would be prevented or detected.


As of December 31, 2007 management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of EST’s internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting established in “Internal Control — Integrated Framework,” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (COSO) of the Treadway Commission. Based upon this assessment, we determined that there was a material weakness affecting our internal control over financial reporting and, as a result of that weakness, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2007.  The material weakness is as follows:

 

We did not maintain effective controls to ensure appropriate segregation of duties as the same employees were responsible for the initiating and recording of transactions, thereby creating segregation of duties weaknesses. Due to the (1) significance of segregation of duties to the preparation of reliable financial statements, (2) the significance of potential misstatement that could have resulted due to the deficient controls and (3) the absence of sufficient other mitigating controls, we determined that this control deficiency resulted in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement or lack of disclosure within the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected.


Management’s Remediation Initiatives


Management is currently evaluating avenues for mitigating our internal controls weaknesses, but mitigating controls that are practical and cost effective may not be found based on the size and structure of our organization.  Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.  These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake.  The design of any system of controls is based in part on 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.  Projections of any evaluation of controls effectiveness to future periods are subject to risks.  


This annual report does not include an attestation report of the company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the company’s registered 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.



37



Changes in internal control over financial reporting.

Except as noted above, there have been no changes during the quarter ended December 31, 2007 in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, internal controls over financial reporting.


ITEM 8B.  OTHER INFORMATION.


On February 22, 2008 stock options to purchase shares of the Company's common stock were granted to individual employees and directors with no less than three years continuous tenure.  The options granted on February 22, 2008 totaled 200,000 shares under option and have an exercise price of $0.81 per share.  The options granted on February 22, 2008 may be exercised any time during the period from February 22, 2008 through February 21, 2011.  The Company's Form 8-K dated February 22, 2008, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission is included herein by reference.

Management believes that there are no agreements or understanding between the directors and suppliers or contractors of the Company, except the agreement with Manufacturing Services, Inc. as described elsewhere in this report.


Audit Committee


The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors as of December 31, 2007 is comprised of Robert Southworth (Chairman), Melvin Brown and John Schooley.  Mr. Brown is considered to be a non-independent member of the Audit Committee, however, his serving on the Audit Committee was deemed by the Board to be in the best interest of the Corporation due to Mr. Brown’s experience and familiarity with the Corporation.  The Board of Directors has determined that none of the audit committee members can be classified as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in Item 401(e) of Regulation S-B.  The Board of Directors does not contain a member that can be classified as an “audit committee financial expert” under the referenced definition. The Board of Directors believes that attracting and retaining board members that could be classified as an “audit committee financial expert” is unlikely due to the high cost of such Director candidates.


The Board of Directors had an Employee/Director Stock Option Committee consisting of Tom Kirchner and Jon Correio.  The committee existed for the sole purpose of recommending the recipients and amounts of the Company awarded stock options during 2007.


Compensation Committee


There is no Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors.


Code of Ethics


On June 2, 2006, the Company's Board of Directors adopted a Code of Ethics for the Company.  This Code of Ethics is filed herewith as an exhibit.
