NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The financial statements of Electronic Systems Technology, Inc. (the "Company") presented in this Form 10Q are unaudited and reflect, in the opinion of Management, a fair presentation of operations for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2018 and June 30, 2017.  All adjustments of a normal recurring nature and necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods covered have been made. Certain information and footnote disclosure normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. In preparation of the financial statements, certain amounts and balances have been reformatted from previously filed reports including classification of components of cash and cash equivalents to conform to the format of this quarterly presentation.  These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Form 10K for the year ended December 31, 2017, as filed with Securities and Exchange Commission.

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09 Revenue Recognition, replacing guidance currently codified in Subtopic 605-10 Revenue Recognition-Overall with various SEC Staff Accounting Bulletins providing interpretive guidance. The new ASU establishes a new five step principles-based framework in an effort to significantly enhance comparability of revenue recognition practices across entities, industries, jurisdictions, and capital markets. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date. ASU No. 2015-14 defers the effective date of ASU No. 2014-09 until annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company has performed an assessment of the impact of implementation of ASU No. 2014-09, and concluded it will not change the timing of revenue recognition or amounts of revenue recognized compared to how revenue is recognized under current policies. ASU No. 2014-09 will require additional disclosures, where applicable, on (i) contracts with customers, (ii) significant judgments and changes in judgments in determining the timing of satisfaction of performance obligations and the transaction price, and (iii) assets recognized for costs to obtain or fulfill contracts. See Note 5.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02 Leases (Topic 842). The update modifies the classification criteria and requires lessees to recognize the assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for most leases. The update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of implementing this update on the financial statements.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15 Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. The update provides guidance on classification for cash receipts and payments related to eight specific issues. The update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company determined the impact of implementing this update is immaterial.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18 Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash. The update requires that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. The update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01 Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business. The update clarifies the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. The update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company will apply the provisions of the update to potential future acquisitions occurring after January 1, 2018.

The Company estimates that for 2018 the anticipated effective annual federal income tax rate will be 0%.

Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by FASB that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the financial statements upon adoption.

The results of operations for the six-month period ended June 30, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full fiscal year or for any other fiscal period.

NOTE 2 - INVENTORIES

Inventories are stated at lower of direct cost or net realizable value with cost determined using the FIFO (first in, first out) method.  Inventories consist of the following:

	June 30,   2018	December 31, 2017
Parts	$     122,420	$       143,452
Work in progress	200,696	201,526

NOTE 3 - INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE

Basic income (loss) per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period.  Diluted income (loss) per share reflects potential dilution occurring if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the Company. The diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the three-month period ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 was 4,994,212 and 5,040 803, respectively.  The primary weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 was 4,986,048 and 5,038,043 respectively.  

NOTE 4 - STOCK OPTIONS

As of June 30, 2018, the Company had outstanding stock options which have been granted periodically to individual employees and directors with no less than three years of continuous tenure with the Company.  The Board of Directors did not issue stock options during the first six-months ended June 30, 2018.

A summary of option activity during the six months ended June 30, 2018 is as follows:

	Number Outstanding	Weighted-Average Exercise Price Per Share	Weighted-Average Remaining Life (Years)	Approximate Aggregate Intrinsic Value
Outstanding and Exercisable at December 31, 2017	150,000	$0.40
Expired	(30,000)	0.40
Outstanding and Exercisable at June 30, 2018	120,000	$0.40	2.1	$2,400

NOTE 5 - ASU No. 2014-09 DISCLOSURE

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09 Revenue Recognition, replacing guidance currently codified in Subtopic 605-10 Revenue Recognition-Overall.  The new ASU establishes a new five step principles-based framework in an effort to significantly enhance comparability of revenue recognition practices across entities, industries, jurisdictions, and capital markets.  In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date.  ASU No. 2015-14 deferred the effective date of ASU No. 2014-09 until annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017.  We adopted ASU No. 2014-09 as of January 1, 2018 using the modified-retrospective transition approach.  The impact of adoption of the update to our financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2018 would have not been material.

We performed an assessment of the impact of implementation of ASU No. 2014-09, and concluded it does not change the timing of revenue recognition or amounts of revenue recognized compared to how we recognize revenue under our current policies.  Our revenues involve a relatively limited number of types of contracts and customers.  In addition, our revenue contracts do not involve multiple types of performance obligations.  Revenues from product sales are recognized, and the transaction price is known, when the goods are shipped or delivered, and title and risk of loss passes to the customer.

Adoption of ASU No. 2014-09 involves additional disclosures, where applicable, on (i) contracts with customers, (ii) significant judgments and changes in judgments in determining the timing of satisfaction of performance obligations and the transaction price, and (iii) assets recognized for costs to obtain or fulfill contracts.  

For product sales, the performance obligation is met, the transaction price can be reasonably estimated, and revenue is recognized generally at the time of shipment.  We have determined the performance obligation is met and title is transferred to the customer upon shipment of products because, at that time, 1) legal title is transferred to the customer, 2) the customer has accepted the product and obtained the ability to realize all of the benefits from the product, 3) the product specifications are known, have been communicated to the customer, and the customer has the significant risks and rewords of ownership to it, 4) it is very unlikely the product will be rejected by a customer upon physical receipt, and 5) we have the right to payment for the product. Revenues from site support and engineering services are recognized as the Company performs the services, which is when the performance obligation is determined to be met.

Sales and accounts receivable for product sales are recorded net of charges for certain sales incentives and discounts, and applicable state and local sales taxes, which represent components of the transaction price. Charges are estimated by us upon shipment of the product based on contractual terms, and actual charges typically do not vary materially from our estimates.

The Company does not generally sell its products with the right of return.  Therefore, returns are accounted for when they occur and are accepted.  

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 immaterial based on the Company’s historical warranty experience.

Our trade accounts receivable balance related to sales to customers was $171,406 at June 30, 2018 and $98,941 at December 31, 2017 and included no allowance for doubtful accounts.  

We have determined our sales do not include a significant financing component, as payment is received at the time the performance obligation is satisfied.

We do not incur significant costs to obtain sales, nor costs to fulfill sales orders which are not addressed by other standards.  Therefore, we have not recognized an asset for such costs as of June 30, 2018 or December 31, 2017.

NOTE 6 - COMMITMENTS and CONTINGENCIES

The Company leases its facilities from a port authority for $5,445 per month for three years, expiring in September 2020, with annual increases based upon the Consumer Price Index.

Item 2.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL

CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION

Management’s discussion and analysis is intended to be read in conjunction with the Company’s unaudited financial statements and the integral notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2017.  The following statements may be forward looking in nature and actual results may differ materially.

A.  Results of Operations

REVENUES:

Total revenues from the sale of the Company’s ESTeem wireless modem products and services increased to $471,914 for the second quarter of 2018, compared to $380,613 for the second quarter of 2017.  Gross revenues, including interest income, increased to $476,314 for the quarter ended June 30, 2018, from $383,461 for the same quarter of 2017.  Year to date sales increased to $779,741 as of June 30, 2018, as compared to $759,399 as of June 30, 2017. Year to date gross revenues, including interest income, increased to $787,873 as of June 30, 2018, compared to $764,936 as of June 30, 2017.  Management believes the increase in quarterly and year to date sales revenues is due to increased marketing efforts in the United States.

The Company's revenues have historically fluctuated from quarter to quarter due to timing factors such as customer order placement and product shipments to customers, as well as customer buying trends, and changes in the general economic environment.  The procurement process regarding plant and project automation, or project development, which usually surrounds the decision to purchase ESTeem products, can be lengthy.  This procurement process may involve bid activities unrelated to the ESTeem products, such as additional systems and subcontract work, as well as capital budget considerations on the part of the customer.  Because of the complexity of this procurement process, forecasts in regard to the Company's revenues become difficult to predict.

A percentage breakdown of EST's Domestic and Export Sales, for the second quarter of 2018 and 2017 are as follows:

	For the second quarter of
	2018	2017
Domestic Sales	95%	81%
Export Sales	5%	19%

Domestic Revenues

During the quarter ended June 30, 2018, the Company’s domestic operations represented 95% of the Company’s total sales 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 sales revenues increased to $446,589 for the quarter ended June 30, 2018 compared to $309,556 for the quarter ended June 30, 2017.  Management believes the increase in sales revenues is due to increased domestic sales for water/waste water and mining industrial automation projects during the first six months of 2018.During the quarter ended June 30, 2018, three customers, comprised more than 10% of the Company’s sales revenues.  

Customer A: 27%

Customer B: 15%

Customer C: 12%

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2018, the Company’s domestic operations represented 96% of the Company’s total sales revenues.  Year to date domestic sales revenues increased to $749,176 as of June 30, 2018 compared to $610,038 for the same period of 2017. Management believes the increase in year to date sales revenues is due to increased marketing efforts in the United States during the first half of 2018.  

10

Foreign Revenues

The Company’s foreign operating segment represented 5% of the Company’s total net revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2018.  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 the quarter ended June 30, 2018, the Company had $25,325 in foreign export sales, amounting to 5% of total net revenues of the Company for the quarter, compared with foreign export sales of $71,057 for the same quarter of 2017.  Management believes the decrease in foreign sales revenues was due to decreased automation needs to lower operating expenses in Oil & Gas and Mining industries.  Revenues from foreign countries during the second quarter of 2018 consist primarily of revenues from product sales to Columbia, Bolivia and Ireland.  No foreign sales to a single customer comprised 10% or more of the Company's product sales for the quarter ended June 30, 2018.  Products purchased by foreign customers were used primarily in industrial automation applications.  We believe the majority of foreign export sales are the results EST foreign reseller activity, and the Company’s internet website presence.

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2018, the Company had $30,565 in foreign export sales, amounting to 4% of total sales revenues of the Company for the period, compared with foreign export sales of $149,361 for the same period of 2017. Management believes the decrease was due to the lack of Sales staff in the countries that the Company’s products are exported to.

BACKLOG:

The Corporation had a sales order backlog of approximately $425 as of June 30, 2018.  The Company’s customers generally place orders on an "as needed basis".  Shipment for most of the Company’s products is generally made within 1 to 15 working days after receipt of customer orders, with the exception of ongoing, scheduled projects, and custom designed equipment.

COST OF SALES:

Cost of sales percentage for the second quarter of 2018 and 2017 was 45% and 41%, respectively. The cost of sales increase for the second quarter of 2018 is the result of the product mix for items sold during the period.

OPERATING EXPENSES:

Operating expenses for the second quarter of 2018 decreased $37,468 from the second quarter of 2017.  The following is an outline of operating expenses:

For the quarter ended:	June 30, 2018	June 30, 2017	Increase (Decrease)
General and Administrative	$             65,347	$             65,302	$                     45
Research/Development	30,791	56,310	(25,519)
Marketing and Sales	96,684	108,678	(11,994)
Total Operating Expenses	$           192,882	$           230,290	$           (37,468)

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE:

During the second quarter of 2018, general and administrative expenses increased $45 to $65,347 from the same quarter of 2017.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT:

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

There is no established market for trading the common stock of the Company. The market for the Company’s common stock is limited, and as such shareholders may have difficulty reselling their shares when desired or at attractive market prices.  The Common Stock is not regularly quoted in the automated quotation system of a registered securities system or association.  Our common stock, par value $0.001 per share, is quoted on the OTC Markets Group QB (OTCQB) under the symbol “ELST”.  The OTCQB is a network of security dealers who buy and sell stock. The dealers are connected by a computer network which provides information on current “bids” and “asks” as well as volume information. The OTCQB is not considered a “national exchange”.  The “over-the-counter” quotations do not reflect inter-dealer prices, retail mark-ups commissions or actual transactions.  The Company’s 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 4.  Controls and Procedures.

An evaluation has been performed under the supervision and with the participation of our Management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and the operation of our "disclosure controls and procedures" (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of March 31, 2018.  Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have 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 March 31, 2018.  

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.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
