NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

The financial statements, including notes, of Electronic Systems Technology, Inc. (the "Company") are representations of the Company’s management, which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information, as well as the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, the financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of its financial position as of June 30, 2021, and its results of operations, cash flows, and changes in stockholders’ equity for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.  The balance sheet at December 31, 2020 was derived from audited annual financial statements but does not contain all of the footnote disclosures from the annual financial statements. All amounts presented are in U.S. dollars. For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.  

 

The results of operations for the three month and six-month period ended June 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full fiscal year or for any other fiscal period. The Company estimates that for 2021 the anticipated effective annual federal income tax rate will be 0%.

 

Accounting Standards Updates Adopted

 

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13 Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. The update removes, modifies and makes additions to the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements. The update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this update on January 1, 2020 had no impact on the financial statements.  

 

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.
