PART I

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS:

When used in this Annual Report and documents incorporated 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 uncertainties and risks 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.

Item 1. Business.

For over 30 years, Electronic Systems Technology, Inc. (“EST”, “us”, “we”, or the “Company”) has specialized in the development and manufacturing of digital data (non-voice) radio transceivers for use in industrial wireless networking applications.  With reliance on wireless communication in the modern world, the global modernization of industrial control systems now require the benefits gained by use of wireless technology.  EST designs and produces these specialized, hardened products to operate and survive in these difficult conditions.  

The Company designs, develops, manufactures and markets the ESTeem® line of industrial wireless products and accessories.  The Company’s products provide innovative communication solutions for applications not served or underutilized by conventional, commercial grade communication systems.  The Company’s products are part of the ESTeem® Industrial Wireless  Solutions for commercial, industrial, and government arenas both domestically and internationally.  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.  The Company established a "doing business as" or "DBA" structure, based on the Company's registered trade name of ESTeem® Wireless Modems in 2007.  The Company continues to provide product improvements and enhancements to incorporate continuing technological developments, in response to customer needs and market opportunities.  New opportunities may arise from changes in FCC regulations or technological developments, both of these are reviewed by management to identify both marketability and profitability.

Development efforts during 2015 were focused primarily on our new ESTeem® Horizon Series.  These next generation industrial wireless products will improve our networking capability with higher data rates, improved support features and updates to the latest wireless standards.  The ESTeem® Horizon Series will expand our market opportunities and be available for sale in 2016.  

In an effort to maintain and expand our customer base in the industrial control marketplace, we team with major automation hardware vendors such as Rockwell Automation.  2015 marks the 24^th  anniversary of our relationship with Rockwell Automation through their Encompass Program.  Rockwell Automation has the largest market share in the United States and is a major entity in the world wide automation and controls market place. The benefit of the Encompass program and similar partnering efforts is increased exposure to markets that would not otherwise be cost effective to have a direct marketing channel presence in.

PRODUCTS AND MARKETS

The Company’s ESTeem® industrial wireless products provide communication links between computer networks, network enabled devices and mobile devices without cables.  The widespread use of networked computer systems in business, industry and public service and the adoption of mobile devices in all aspects of modern life has created an environment where the wireless network is no longer a convenience but a necessity.  As wireless networking proliferates through the modernization of the industrial sector the need for products such as the ESTeem® industrial wireless (specifically designed for rigors of operation in the industrial environment) will be increased dramatically.  These wireless networks will be the backbone connections to the Internet for cloud based services such as the upcoming Internet of Things (“IoT”) and Industrial Internet of Things (“IIoT”).

All of the ESTeem® models come with industry standard Ethernet (Internet) communications ports and legacy serial ports to provide the broadest range of connections for both new and legacy hardware.  The combined features such as self-healing repeaters, Mesh networking, long range operation and outdoor weatherproof cases make the ESTeem® products unique in our market space.

PRODUCT APPLICATIONS

Some of the major applications and industries in which ESTeem® products are being utilized are as follows:

Water/Wastewater	Agriculture
Oil/Gas	Industrial Automation

PRODUCT LINES

The Company manufactures ten (10) models of the ESTeem® industrial wireless modems that operate in frequency from 150 MHz to 5.8 GHz.  A wireless modems is a hardware device for sending and receiving data over a radio carrier and is the foundation of our industrial wireless solutions.  Each model will fit best in a specific application based upon several factors such as distance, required data rate and Federal Communication Commission (“FCC”) licensing requirements.  Each wireless network is discussed in detail with the end customer to determine the best overall solution for their application.  No single model or frequency band can solve all applications and having a diverse product selection is critical for expanding the customer base.  The following is a summary of the products available from the Company:

ESTeem Model	Type	Frequency (MHz)	RF Power (Watts)	RF Data Rate	LOS Range (Miles)	Interface

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 2015 and 2014 were $277,126 and $286,375.  None of the Company’s research and development expenses were paid directly by any of the Company’s customers.  During 2015, the Company contracted and will continue to contract with companies to provide software development and hardware design engineering expertise when required.  

Development efforts during 2015 were focused primarily on the ESTeem® Horizon Series products due to obsolescence of components. The redesigned products will operate at higher speeds and increase data throughput. 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 2015 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, 2015, the Company had a sales order backlog of $68,330.

During 2015, the Company continued advertising in trade publications specifically targeting industrial automation systems.  There are approximately twenty major automation hardware manufacturers worldwide.  The Company has maintained active attendance at tradeshows targeted toward the customers and markets in which it sells products. During 2015, the Company employed sales managers and product support personal to concentrate marketing efforts in both domestic and Latin American industrial automation markets.  During 2016, the Company intends to continue targeting domestic and foreign industrial automation markets.  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 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 differentiate ourselves in the industrial wireless modem market.  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, 2015, no one customer’s sales accounted 10% or more of total sales revenues.  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 and major competitors in those markets:

Major Market	Major Competitors
Industrial Automation	FreeWave Technologies, GE/Microwave Data Systems, Prosoft Technology and Cal Amp.
Computer networking, inter and intra building, and remote internet access.	Cisco, Digital Wireless, D-link, Linksys, P-Com and Proxim

Management believes the ESTeem® products compete favorably in the market because of product choices, 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 2014.  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.

On September 15, 2009, Wi-LAN, Inc, an Ontario, Canada Company (TSX: WIN)(“Wi-LAN”) notified the Company of alleged patent infringement.  On November 17, 2009, we entered into a Licensing Agreement with Wi-LAN. Subject to confidentiality provisions, the agreement requires us to pay royalties and in return we are granted certain licensing rights and liability releases.  The allegations by Wi-LAN relate to amendments to Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) standard 802.11 wireless architecture, adopted in 1997. Approximately half of the Company’s current products are subject to the alleged patent infringements from Wi-LAN.  The cost of the licensing agreement to the Company is considered by Management to be insignificant.

GOVERNMENT REGULATION

For operation in the United States, the ESTeem® industrial wireless products require 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® industrial wireless 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® 195Ea, 195Eg, 195Es and 195Ed products operate in the non-licensed, 900 MHz, 2.4GHz, and 5.8 GHz spread spectrum frequency bands, 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 including those manufactured by Hitachi, Motorola Corporation, Mitsubishi, Murata Corporation, Rakon, Toko America Inc. and Triquint, as purchased through a number of distributors, supply key components for the Company’s products.  The components provided by these and other companies could be replaced or substituted by other products, if it became necessary to do so.  If this action occurred, a material interruption of production and material cost expenditures could take place during the process of locating and qualifying replacement components.

Approximately 10% of the Company’s inventory at December 31, 2015 consisted of parts having lead times ranging from 12 to 30 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, personal technology devices and other 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.   

The Company contracts with multiple companies, for manufacturing of sub-assemblies and some engineering assistance services for the Company’s products.  Materials are provided by the Company.  By contracting with these companies, the Company is able to avoid staff fluctuations associated with operating its own manufacturing operation and reduced capital investments in specialized manufacturing equipment.    Management reviews the costs for the services provided by these companies and regularly submits Requests for Quotes (RFQ) to multiple suppliers of these operations.  See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”, and “Financial Statements”.

Access to Company Information

The Registrant does not issue annual or quarterly reports to security holders other than the annual Form 10-K and quarterly Forms 10-Q as electronically filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).  Electronically filed reports may be accessed at www.sec.gov or via the Company’s website at www.esteem.com.  We make available on our website such reports as soon as reasonably practicable after such reports are electronically filed with or furnished to the SEC.  However, the information found on our website, or on other websites linked to our website, is not a part of this or any other report filed by the Company with the SEC.  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, 2015, the Company employed a staff of 11 persons on a full time basis, 3 in sales/marketing, 2 in technical support, 5 in engineering/manufacturing, and 1 in finance and administration. There was one significant change to key personnel in 2015.  Tom Kirchner retired July 31, 2015. Michael Eller now serves as the acting President and Chief Accounting Officer. 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.  

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

Our common stock value and our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition are subject to various risks, including, but not limited to those set forth below. If any of the following risks actually occurs, our common stock, business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition could be materially adversely affected. These risk factors should be carefully considered together with the other information in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, including the risks and uncertainties described under the heading “Forward-Looking Statements.” If any of the events described in the risk factors below actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could suffer significantly. In such case, the value of your investment could decline and you may lose all or part of the money you paid to buy our common stock.

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. 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. Our limited national advertising and sales coverage may result in the markets in which our products compete not being fully penetrated.  The lack of market penetration may result in an adverse effect on our sale revenues.We must continue to develop and maintain 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.  Many of components of our products are also used in cellular phone, pagers and other technology 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, Michael Eller, 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.

7

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 standards, such as cellular telephone based technology. 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, 2015.  We determined that there continues to be 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, 2015.We have not maintained effective controls to ensure appropriate segregation of duties due to our limited number of employees in finance and administration.  The same employee is responsible for the initiating and recording of transactions, thereby creating segregation of duties weaknesses. Due to this weakness and absence of sufficient mitigating controls, we determined that this control deficiency resulted in a more than remote likelihood that 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 have been evaluated, but mitigating controls have been deemed to be impractical and prohibitively costly due to the size of our organization at the current time.  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 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” market and is listed on OTCQB tier of the OTC Markets 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.

Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments.

None.

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 December 31, 2015, the total monthly lease cost, including tax, is $5,348.  The lease covers a period of three years, expiring September 2017.

The Company also owns miscellaneous assets, such as computer equipment, laboratory equipment, and furnishings.  The Company does not have any real estate holdings or 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’s President.  The Company also maintains fidelity insurance which provides coverage to the Company in the event of employee dishonesty.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Management’s discussion and analysis is provided as supplement to, and is intended to be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and the accompanying integral notes (“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 data radio 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.  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 2015 vs. FISCAL YEAR 2014

GROSS REVENUES: Total revenues, including interest income, for the fiscal year 2015 were $1,561,823 reflecting a decrease of 17% from $1,877,937 in gross revenues for fiscal year 2014.  During the year ended December 31, 2015, no one customer’s sales accounted for more than 10% of the total sales revenues.  The decrease in total revenues is the result of decreased domestic product sales during 2015.  Domestic Sales for the fiscal year were $1,224,926 compared to $1,571,995 in 2014. Sales to Foreign Customers for the fiscal year were $325,658 compared to $295,425 in 2014. Product sales decreased to $1,550,584 in 2015, as compared to 2014 sales of $1,867,420, reflecting a decrease of 17%.  Management believes the decrease in sales revenues is the result of decreased product sales for the Company’s domestic sales segments, specifically industrial automation.  

Interest revenues during 2015 increased to $11,239 from 2014 level of $10,517 due to increased rates of return received on the Company’s investments.

As of December 31, 2015, the Company had sales backlog of $68,330.  The Company’s customers generally place orders on an "as needed basis".  Shipment of 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 net sales, was 43% and 42% respectively, for 2015 and 2014.  Cost of Sales variances are the result of differences in the product mix sold and occurrences of obsolete inventory expense, 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 2015 and 2014 were as follows:

	2015	2014
Parts	$181,798	$283,375
Work in progress	233,055	276,853
Finished goods	188,438	158,909
TOTAL	$603,291	$719,137

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.

OPERATING EXPENSES: Operating expenses increased to $1,186,983 in 2015, from 2014 levels of $1,181,225 primarily due to increased depreciation during 2015.  Material changes in expenses are comprised of the following components: Wages and payroll taxes decreased by $17,210 and $5,853 respectively.   Depreciation expense increased during 2015 to $28,714 from 2014 levels of $17,824 due to the Company’s increased capital purchases.  Advertising expenses decreased to $12,171 for 2015, compared to $16,091 for 2014, Materials and Supplies expense decreased during 2015 to $32,349 from 2014 levels of $34,443 due to decreased research and development related projects during 2015.   

FISCAL YEAR 2014 vs. FISCAL YEAR 2013

GROSS REVENUES: Total revenues, including interest income, for the fiscal year 2014 were $1,877,937 reflecting a decrease of 15% from $2,198,416 in gross revenues for fiscal year 2013.  During the year ended December 31, 2014, no one customer’s sales accounted for more than 10% of the total sales revenues.  The decrease in total revenues is the result of decreased domestic product

10

sales during 2013.  Product sales decreased to $1,867,420 in 2014, as compared to 2013 sales of $2,190,258, reflecting a decrease of 15%.  Management believes the decrease in sales revenues is the result of decreased product sales for the Company’s domestic sales segments, specifically industrial automation.  Management believes the decreased foreign product sales revenues during 2014 are the result of the fragile global economic conditions significantly impacting capital expenditures for projects involving the Company’s products having been delayed or cancelled.  The Company intends to continue targeting the domestic and foreign industrial control markets.  Management remains committed to pursuing existing marketing strategies, however cannot guarantee sustained sales revenues during 2015 in the continued fragile economic conditions that exist globally.

Interest revenues during 2014 increased to $10,517 from 2013 level of $8,158 due to increased rates of return received on the Company’s investments.

As of December 31, 2014, the Company had sales backlog of $30,463.  The Company’s customers generally place orders on an "as needed basis".  Shipment of 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.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company’s revenues and expenses resulted in a net loss of $238,373 for 2015, increased from a net loss of $101,790 for 2014.  The decrease in profitability is the result of decreased sales revenues, increased operating expenses when compared with 2014.  At December 31, 2015, the Company's working capital was $2,500,267 compared with $2,836,980 at December 31, 2014. The Company’s operations rely solely on the income generated from sales.  The Company's major capital resource 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 30 weeks, require the Company to maintain high inventory levels.  It is Management’s opinion that the Company’s working capital as of December 31, 2015 is adequate for expected resource requirements for the next twelve months.

The Company's current asset to current liability ratio at December 31, 2015 was 71.4:1 compared to 34.9:1 at December 31, 2014.  The increase in current asset ratio is the result of the Company having decreased Accounts Payable and Customer Deposits for year-end 2015 when compared with year-end 2014.  The Company's cash resources at December 31, 2015, including cash and cash equivalent liquid assets, were $618,060, compared to cash resources of $637,086 at year-end 2014.  The decrease in cash and cash equivalent liquid assets is the result net loss impact when comparted with year-end 2014.  The Company’s cash and cash equivalent assets are held in checking, money market investment accounts and Certificates of Deposits. The Company's accounts receivable, at December 31, 2015, were $66,276, compared to $94,864 at year-end 2014.  Management believes that all Company accounts receivable as of December 31, 2015 are collectible and does not have a reserve for uncollectable accounts.  

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 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, 2015, were $603,291, reflecting a decrease from December 31, 2014 levels of $719,137. The decrease in inventory between December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, is due to an effort to minimize the quantities of components and sub-assemblies, specifically for slow moving items.

The Company had capital expenditures of $14,480 during 2015 primarily for phone system upgrades and a manufacturing die.  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, 2015, the Company's current liabilities decreased to $35,509, from 2014 year-end levels of $83,865.  The decrease in current liabilities was impacted by lower Accrued Vacation and refundable deposits, $11,733 and $22,667 respectively.  

The Company had no off balance sheet arrangements for the year ended December 31, 2015.

Inflation had minimal adverse effect on the Company’s operations during 2015.  Minimal adverse effect is anticipated during 2016.

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, as arbitrarily determined by the underwriter.  

Effective September 13, 2007, the Company announced their establishment of a “doing business as” or dba structure, based on the Company’s registered trade name of ESTeem® 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 the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable, inventory obsolescence, useful lives of depreciable assets, share-based compensation, and deferred income taxes.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.  

Concentrations and Credit Risks

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist of cash, money market investments, certificates of deposit, and accounts receivables.  

The Company places its cash with three 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.  

The Company purchases certain key components necessary for the production of its products from a limited number of suppliers.  The components provided by the suppliers could be replaced or substituted by other products.  It is possible that if this action became necessary, an interruption of production and/or material cost expenditures could take place.  

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.  Sales are recorded net of applicable state and local sales tax.  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.

Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - (Continued)

Revenue Recognition - (Continued)

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

The Company does not generally sell its products with the right of return.  Therefore, returns are accounted for 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. Warranty expenses are expected to immaterial based on the Company’s historical warranty experience.

Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments are cash, money market funds, and certificates of deposit.  The recorded values of cash, money market funds and certificates of deposit approximate their fair values based on their short-term nature.  

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of cash and money market funds purchased with original maturities of three months or less.  

Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts

The Company uses the allowance method to account for estimated uncollectible accounts receivable.  Accounts receivable are presented net of an allowance for doubtful accounts.  As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company’s estimate of doubtful accounts was zero.  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.  

Inventories

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.

Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - (Continued)

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is carried at cost.  Major betterments are capitalized and de-minimus purchases are expensed.  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 three to seven years.    When the Company sells or otherwise disposes of property and equipment a gain or loss is recorded in the statement of operations. The cost of improvements that extend the life of property and equipment is capitalized.  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.

Certificates of Deposit

Certificates of deposit with original maturities ranging from three months to twelve months were $1,202,625 and $1,402,625 at December 31, 2015 and 2014 respectively.  

Software Costs

Software purchased and used by the Company is capitalized as property and equipment based on its cost, and amortized over its useful life, usually not exceeding five years.

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.  

Income Taxes

The provision (benefit) 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.  The Company evaluates positive and negative information when estimating the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets.

Research and Development

Research and development costs are expensed as operating expenses when incurred.  Research and development expenditures for new product development and improvements of existing products by the Company for 2015 and 2014 were $277,126 and $286,375, respectively.  

Advertising Costs

Costs incurred for producing and communicating advertising are expensed as operating expenses when incurred.  Advertising costs for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 were $12,171 and $16,091, respectively.

Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - (Continued)

Earnings Per Share

The Company is required to have dual presentation of basic earnings per share (“EPS”) and diluted EPS.  Basic EPS is computed as net income divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is calculated based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period plus the effect of potentially dilutive common stock equivalents.

Potentially dilutive common stock equivalents consist of 185,000 and 440,000 stock options outstanding as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, the potentially dilutive stock options were not included in the calculation of the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding or diluted EPS as their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

Share-Based Compensation

Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 718 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 FASB ASC 718, 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.  

Fair Value Measurements

ASC 820 "Fair Value Measurements” ("ASC 820") requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.  ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value.  A financial instrument's categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.  ASC 820 prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1:  Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2:  Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quote prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.

Level 3:  Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

At December 31, 2015 and 2014 the Company has no assets or liabilities subject to fair value adjustments on a recurring basis.

Benefit for federal income taxes	$        (88,470)	$        (52,122)

At December 31, 2015, the Company had approximately $56,000 of income tax credits available to reduce income taxes in future periods.  The credits expire from 2032-2035.  In addition, at December 31, 2015, the Company had approximately $370,000 of net operating loss carryforwards which will expire between 2016 and 2035.

Income Taxes – (Continued)

The components of deferred tax assets and liabilities at December 31, were as follows:

Deferred tax assets, net:	2015	2014
Current:
Accrued liabilities	$          6,957	$           8,776
Inventories	17,560	40,824
Total current deferred tax assets	24,517	49,600
Noncurrent:
Income tax credits	55,853	29,899
Net operating loss carryforwards	126,942
Other		1,402
Total noncurrent deferred tax assets	182,795	31,301
Less valuation allowance	(38,920)
Total deferred tax assets, net	$     143,875	$         31,301

The Company has recorded a net deferred tax asset of $143,875 after a valuation allowance of $38,920 that reflects the benefit of $370,000 in loss carryforwards, which expire in varying amounts as described above, and research and development income tax credits of $55,853.  Realization of the deferred tax asset is dependent on generating sufficient taxable income prior to expiration of the loss carryforwards and the income tax carryforwards.  Although realization is not assured, management believes it is more likely than not that all of the deferred tax asset will be realized.  The amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable, however, could be reduced in the near term if estimates of future taxable income during the carryforward period are reduced.

The differences between the benefit for income taxes and income taxes computed using the U.S. statutory federal income tax rate of 35% were as follows:

	2015	2014
Amount computed using the statutory rate	$      (114,395)	$          (53,870)
Permanent differences	5,418	1,748
Income tax credits	(18,413)
Change in valuation allowance	38,920	-
Benefit for federal income taxes	$         (88,470)	$          (52,122)

Should the Company have future accrued interest expense and penalties related to uncertain income tax positions, they will recognize those expenses in income tax expense.

The Company files federal income tax returns in the United States only.  The Company is no longer subject to federal income tax examination by tax authorities for years before 2012.  The Company has evaluated all tax positions for open years and has concluded that they have no material unrecognized tax benefits or penalties.

Employee Profit Sharing Bonus Program

The Company makes discretionary contributions to the Employee Profit Sharing Bonus Program (a non-qualified plan) based upon ten percent of the first $100,000 of pre-tax net income plus eight percent of pre-tax net income in excess of $100,000.  There was no accrual or expense recorded for 2015 or 2014.

7.

Share-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, after which they are subject to forfeiture.

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:

	2014
Dividend yield	0.00%
Expected volatility	75%
Risk-free interest rate	0.68%
Option exercise rate	6.4%
Expected term (in years)	3
Estimated fair value per option granted	$       0.20

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.  

In the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company recognized $0 and $2,245 respectively, in share-based compensation expense.  No non-vested share-based compensation arrangements existed as of December 31, 2015 and 2014.  

A summary of option activity follows:

			Weighted
		Weighted	Average
		Average	Remaining
		Exercise	Contractual
	Number	Price Per	Term
	Outstanding	Option	(Years)
Balance at December 31, 2013	525,000	0.38	1.1

Item 9A. 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 Principal Accounting Officer, these positions are currently held by the same individual, we have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such terms are defined under Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act ) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Principal Accounting 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, 2015.

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, 2015 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. Management, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer, assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2015 and concluded that it is ineffective in assuring that the financial reports of the Company are free from material errors or misstatements. The material weakness is as follows:

We did not maintain effective controls to ensure appropriate segregation of duties as the same officer and employee was 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

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 the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only Management’s report in this Annual Report.

Management has evaluated and continues to evaluate, avenues for mitigating our internal controls weaknesses, but mitigating controls have been deemed to be impractical and prohibitively costly due to the size of our organization at the current time.  Management does not foresee implementing a cost effective method of mitigating our internal control weaknesses in the near term.   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

30

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.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting.

During the quarter ended December 31, 2015, there were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Item 9B. Other Information.

On August 7, 2015, the Board of Directors passed a resolution granting 250,000  stock options to Management subject to Shareholder approval at the 2016 Annual Shareholders Meeting.

Audit Committee

The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors as of December 31, 2015 is comprised of Barry Knott (Chairman), Theodore Deinard and John Schooley. The Audit Committee met on two occasions in 2015.  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 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K.  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 has also adopted a charter for the Audit Committee. The charter for the audit committee is available on our website at www.esteem..com . The audit committee charter is also available in print to any shareholder who requests it.

Compensation Committee

There is no Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors did establish an Employee/Director Stock Option Committee consisting of all Directors.  The committee existed for the sole purpose of recommending the recipients and amounts of the Company awarded stock options during 2015.

Indemnification

The Company’s By-Laws address indemnification of Directors and Officers. Washington Law provides that Washington corporations may include within their Articles of Incorporation provisions eliminating or limiting the personal liability of their directors and officers in shareholder actions brought to obtain damages for alleged breaches of fiduciary duties, as long as the alleged acts or omissions did not involve intentional misconduct, fraud, a knowing violation of law or payment of dividends in violation of the Washington statutes. Washington law also allows Washington corporations to include in their Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws provisions to the effect that expenses of officers and directors incurred in defending a civil or criminal action must be paid by the corporation as they are incurred, subject to an undertaking on behalf of the officer or director that he or she will repay such expenses if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that such officer or director is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation because such officer or director did not act in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation. The Company’s Articles of Incorporation provide that a director or officer is not personally liable to the Company or its shareholders for damages for any breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officer, except for liability for (i) acts or omissions which involve intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law, or (ii) the payment of distribution in violation of Washington Business Corporation Act.

1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

12 Months Ended

Dec. 31, 2015

Notes

1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

1.         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, as arbitrarily determined by the underwriter. 

Effective September 13, 2007, the Company announced their establishment of a “doing business as” or dba structure, based on the Company’s registered trade name of ESTeem® 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 the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable, inventory obsolescence, useful lives of depreciable assets, share-based compensation, and deferred income taxes.  Actual results could differ from those estimates. 

Concentrations and Credit Risks

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist of cash, money market investments, certificates of deposit, and accounts receivables. 

The Company places its cash with three 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. 

The Company purchases certain key components necessary for the production of its products from a limited number of suppliers.  The components provided by the suppliers could be replaced or substituted by other products.  It is possible that if this action became necessary, an interruption of production and/or material cost expenditures could take place. 

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.  Sales are recorded net of applicable state and local sales tax.  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.  When amounts are billed and collected before the services are performed they are included in deferred revenues.  Revenue is recognized based upon proportional performance when the contract contains performance milestones. 

The Company does not generally sell its products with the right of return.  Therefore, returns are accounted for 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. Warranty expenses are expected to immaterial based on the Company’s historical warranty experience.

Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments are cash, money market funds, and certificates of deposit.  The recorded values of cash, money market funds and certificates of deposit approximate their fair values based on their short-term nature. 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of cash and money market funds purchased with original maturities of three months or less. 

Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts

The Company uses the allowance method to account for estimated uncollectible accounts receivable.  Accounts receivable are presented net of an allowance for doubtful accounts.  As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company’s estimate of doubtful accounts was zero.  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. 

Inventories

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.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is carried at cost.  Major betterments are capitalized and de-minimus purchases are expensed.  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 three to seven years.    When the Company sells or otherwise disposes of property and equipment a gain or loss is recorded in the statement of operations. The cost of improvements that extend the life of property and equipment is capitalized.  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.

Certificates of Deposit

Certificates of deposit with original maturities ranging from three months to twelve months were $1,202,625 and $1,402,625 at December 31, 2015 and 2014 respectively. 

Software Costs

Software purchased and used by the Company is capitalized as property and equipment based on its cost, and amortized over its useful life, usually not exceeding five years.

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. 

Income Taxes

The provision (benefit) 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.  The Company evaluates positive and negative information when estimating the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets.

Research and Development

Research and development costs are expensed as operating expenses when incurred.  Research and development expenditures for new product development and improvements of existing products by the Company for 2015 and 2014 were $277,126 and $286,375, respectively. 

Advertising Costs

Costs incurred for producing and communicating advertising are expensed as operating expenses when incurred.  Advertising costs for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 were $12,171 and $16,091, respectively. 

Earnings Per Share

The Company is required to have dual presentation of basic earnings per share (“EPS”) and diluted EPS.  Basic EPS is computed as net income divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is calculated based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period plus the effect of potentially dilutive common stock equivalents.

Potentially dilutive common stock equivalents consist of 185,000 and 440,000 stock options outstanding as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, the potentially dilutive stock options were not included in the calculation of the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding or diluted EPS as their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

Share-Based Compensation

Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 718 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 FASB ASC 718, 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. 

Fair Value Measurements

ASC 820 "Fair Value Measurements” ("ASC 820") requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.  ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value.  A financial instrument's categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.  ASC 820 prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value:

            Level 1:  Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

            Level 2:  Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quote prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.

            Level 3:  Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

At December 31, 2015 and 2014 the Company has no assets or liabilities subject to fair value adjustments on a recurring basis.

The benefit for federal income taxes consisted of:

Current	$           -	$          (2,721)
Deferred	(88,470)	(49,401)
Benefit for federal income taxes	$        (88,470)	$        (52,122)

At December 31, 2015, the Company had approximately $56,000 of income tax credits available to reduce income taxes in future periods.  The credits expire from 2032-2035.  In addition, at December 31, 2015, the Company had approximately $370,000 of net operating loss carryforwards which will expire between 2016 and 2035.

The components of deferred tax assets and liabilities at December 31, were as follows:

	2015	2014
Deferred tax assets, net:
Current:
Accrued liabilities	$          6,957	$           8,776
Inventories	17,560	40,824
Total current deferred tax assets	24,517	49,600
Noncurrent:
Income tax credits	55,853	29,899
Net operating loss carryforwards	126,942
Other		1,402
Total noncurrent deferred tax assets	182,795	31,301
Less valuation allowance	(38,920)
Total deferred tax assets, net	$     143,875	$         31,301

The Company has recorded a net deferred tax asset of $143,875 after a valuation allowance of $38,920 that reflects the benefit of $370,000 in loss carryforwards, which expire in varying amounts as described above, and research and development income tax credits of $55,853.  Realization of the deferred tax asset is dependent on generating sufficient taxable income prior to expiration of the loss carryforwards and the income tax carryforwards.  Although realization is not assured, management believes it is more likely than not that all of the deferred tax asset will be realized.  The amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable, however, could be reduced in the near term if estimates of future taxable income during the carryforward period are reduced.

The differences between the benefit for income taxes and income taxes computed using the U.S. statutory federal income tax rate of 35% were as follows:

	2015	2014
Amount computed using the statutory rate	$      (114,395)	$          (53,870)
Permanent differences	5,418	1,748
Income tax credits	(18,413)
Change in valuation allowance	38,920	-
Benefit for federal income taxes	$         (88,470)	$          (52,122)

Should the Company have future accrued interest expense and penalties related to uncertain income tax positions, they will recognize those expenses in income tax expense.

The Company files federal income tax returns in the United States only.  The Company is no longer subject to federal income tax examination by tax authorities for years before 2012.  The Company has evaluated all tax positions for open years and has concluded that they have no material unrecognized tax benefits or penalties.

7.         Share-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, after which they are subject to forfeiture.

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:

	2014
Dividend yield	0.00%
Expected volatility	75%
Risk-free interest rate	0.68%
Option exercise rate	6.4%
Expected term (in years)	3
Estimated fair value per option granted	$       0.20

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. 

In the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company recognized $0 and $2,245 respectively, in share-based compensation expense.  No non-vested share-based compensation arrangements existed as of December 31, 2015 and 2014. 

A summary of option activity follows:

			Weighted

Revenue Recognition

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.  Sales are recorded net of applicable state and local sales tax.  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.  When amounts are billed and collected before the services are performed they are included in deferred revenues.  Revenue is recognized based upon proportional performance when the contract contains performance milestones. 

The Company does not generally sell its products with the right of return.  Therefore, returns are accounted for 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. Warranty expenses are expected to immaterial based on the Company’s historical warranty experience.
