available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common
shares outstanding for the period, excluding equivalent shares from possible
stock option exercises, the effect of which would be anti-dilutive. The
primary weighted average number of common shares outstanding used for
calculation of basic and diluted loss per share was 4,953,667 for the quarter
ended March 31, 1999.

ITEM II
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 quarter ending March 31, 1999. 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 EST products and services decreased
to $220,176 for the first quarter of 1999 as compared to $424,768 in the
first quarter of 1998. Gross revenues decreased to $235,153 for the quarter
ending March 31, 1999, down from $441,837 for the same quarter of 1998.
Management believes reduced revenues are the result of lower than expected
Domestic, Foreign, and U.S. Government sales revenues in the first quarter of
1999, particularly when compared with the first quarter of 1998, which
experienced large U.S. Government sales revenues. Management believes the
decline in Foreign sales is a continuation of slow foreign sales experienced
in the last half of 1998, which may continue in the near term, but the
uncertainty of foreign sales makes trends difficult to predict. In
Management's opinion the reduction experienced in Domestic sales is the result
of both decreased demand in automated control projects, in the short term, and
competitive pressures from alternative product providers. The lengthy purchase
cycles for automated control projects where the Company's products are used
makes prediction of trends difficult, but Management believes the reduction in
Domestic sales is a trend that may continue in the near term. Management
believes the decrease in U.S. Government sales is the result of lack of new
projects and purchases for the Company's products. Due to the uncertain nature
of U.S. Government purchasing, Management does not base profitability or
liquidity projections on expected U.S. Government sales.
The Company's revenues fall into three major customer categories, Domestic,
Export and U.S. Government Sales. Domestic commercial sales decreased to
$207,163 in the first quarter of 1999 as compared to $256,961 for the first
quarter of 1998. Foreign export sales for the first quarter of 1999 decreased
to $13,013 as compared to the $72,807 in foreign sales in the same quarter of
1998. The comparative decrease in export sales is a result of comparison with
large sales to the Taiwan, Brazil and Columbia by the Company during the first
quarter of 1998. Management believes the decline in Foreign sales is a
continuation of slow foreign sales experienced in the last half of 1998, which
may continue in the near term. The Company had no sales to U.S. Government
programs for the first quarter of 1999 as compared with first quarter 1998
levels of $95,000, which contained large backlog from U.S. Government orders
placed late in 1997. Engineering services billed in the first quarter of 1999
increased to $40,442 as compared with $15,554 for the same quarter of 1998.
The increase is the result of increased size and scope of the engineering
services requested when compared with the first quarter of 1998, primarily
due to increased engineering services requested in association with the
Company's mobile data computer systems for public safety entities. During
the quarter ended March 31, 1999 sales to Consolidated Electrical Distributors,
a national distributor, consisted of 14% of the Company's sales and service
revenues. Material and services provided to Grays Harbor, Washington, Public
Utility District and the City of Lake Havasu, Arizona accounted for 12% and 11%
of the Company's sales and service revenues, respectively. No other sales to a
<PAGE>
single customer comprised 10% or more of the Company's product sales. A
percentage breakdown of EST's major customer categories of Domestic, Export and
U.S. Government Sales, for the first quarter of 1999 and 1998 are as follows:
For the first quarter of
1999 1998
---- ----
Domestic Sales 94% 61%
U.S. Government Sales 0% 22%
Export Sales 6% 17%

The geographic distribution of foreign sales for the first quarter of 1999
and 1998 is as follows:
Percent of Foreign Sales
March 31 March 31
COUNTRY 1999 1998
--------- -------- --------
Canada 76% 3%
Kuwait 22% 0%

Peru 0% 10%
Chile 0% 8%
Ireland 0% 8%
New Zealand 0% 7%
Italy 0% 6%
South Korea 0% 1%
The Company's domestic and foreign sales for the first quarter of 1999 were
used primarily in Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA)
applications. Management believes these applications will continue to provide
the largest portion of the Company's domestic sales revenues for the
foreseeable future.
<PAGE>
The Company's AIT subcontract with INTERMEC is a five-year indefinite delivery,
indefinite quantity, fixed price contract through September 1999. The Company
did not provide material or derive any sales revenues from this contract in the
first quarter of 1999. Based on the terms of the AIT contract, and contracts
of this type in general, Management does not base liquidity, profitability, or
material purchase projections on anticipated sales. The Company's economic
position allows it to respond to AIT orders on an "as needed" basis.
Based on previous year's activity, the majority of all U.S. Government
purchases are under the Company's General Services Administration (GSA)
contract. Projections regarding liquidity, profitability, and material
purchases are based on past history of annual purchases. Historically, U.S.
Government sales average approximately 18% of annual sales, but this level
cannot be guaranteed. Due to the uncertain nature of U.S. Government
purchasing, procurement of material and production planning is adjusted
quarterly based on demand.
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.
The Company has undertaken the process to identify anticipated costs, and
implementation issues associated with transition of the Company's products and
internal systems to operations during and after the Year 2000. The Company
expects to resolve any Year 2000 issues associated with the Company's internal
and operations systems through planned replacement or upgrades of software
applications, which are not currently deemed to have significant cost
potential. All of the products supplied by the Company to customers are Year
2000 compliant. Management does not expect Year 2000 transition issues to have
a material impact on its operations, but there can be no assurance that there
will not be interruptions or disturbance of operations should negative
transition issues arise.
BACKLOG:
The Corporation had minimal backlog at March 31, 1999. Customers generally
place orders on an "as needed basis". Shipment is generally made within 5 to
10 working days after receipt of an order from a customer.
COST OF SALES:
Cost of sales percentages of gross sales for the first quarters of 1999 and
1998 were 52% and 42% of gross sales respectively. Cost of Sales variations
are attributable to the type of product sold and order size. The increase in
cost of sales in the first quarter of 1999 is due to a combination of decreased
sales volumes, product mix, and discounts granted to resellers.
<PAGE>
OPERATING EXPENSES:
Operating expenses for the first quarter of 1999 increased $9,549 from levels
in the first quarter of 1998. The following is a delineation of operating
expenses:
March 31 March 31 Increase
1999 1998 (Decrease)
-------- -------- ----------
Finance/Administration $ 69,242 $ 69,059 $ 183
Research/Development 43,588 35,357 8,231
Marketing 43,936 44,389 ( 453)
Customer Service 18,120 16,532 1,588
-------- -------- ----------
Total Operating Expenses $174,886 $165,337 $ 9,549
======== ======== ==========
Finance and Administration: During the first quarter of 1999 Finance and
Administration expenses increased $183 when compared with the first quarter
of 1998. The increase is a result of increases in several miscellaneous
expense categories.
Research and Development: Research and Development expenses increased $8,231
during the first quarter of 1999, over the same period in 1998. The increase
in Research and Development costs is due to increased salaries and wages and
increases in subcontracted Research and Development expertise, associated with
development activity of the Company's product lines.
Marketing: During the first quarter of 1999, marketing expenses decreased $453
when compared with the same period of 1998. The decrease is primarily
attributable to timing differences in advertising by the Company between the
first quarter of 1999 and the first quarter of 1998.
Customer Service: Customer service expenses increased $1,588 during the first
quarter of 1999 when compared with expenses for the same quarter of 1998. The
increase in costs is primarily due to increased customer service related travel
expenses by the Company in the first quarter of 1999.
INTEREST AND DIVIDEND INCOME:
The Corporation earned $14,977 in interest and dividend income during the
quarter ending March 31, 1999. Sources of this income were savings and money
market accounts and short term investments.
ENGINEERING SUPPORT:
Engineering support costs increased to $35,350 as of March 31, 1999, as
compared to $14,588 for the same period of 1998. The increase in engineering
support costs for the first quarter of 1999, is directly resultant of increases
in the size and scope of engineering services billed by the Company during the
first quarter of 1999, specifically larger projects for the Company's Mobile
Data Computer products.
NET INCOME (LOSS):
The Company had a net loss of $45,020 for the first quarter of 1999 compared to
net income of $58,662 for the same quarter of 1998. The net loss is
attributable to decreased sales revenues and increased operating expenses
for the first quarter of 1999.
<PAGE>
B. FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Corporation's current asset to current liabilities ratio at March 31, 1999
was 29:1 compared to 25.3:1 at December 31, 1998. The increase in current
ratio is due primarily to decreases in Federal Income Tax Payable amounts when
compared with December 31, 1998 amounts.
For the quarter ending March 31, 1999, the Company had cash and cash
equivalent short-term investment holdings of $1,515,671 as compared to cash and
cash equivalent holdings of $1,426,381 at December 31, 1998. The increase is
attributable primarily to conversion of the Company's accounts receivables at
December 31, 1998 into cash and was offset by the Company's net loss, increased
inventory levels, and Federal income tax payments.
Accounts receivable decreased to $126,071 as of March 31, 1999, from December
31, 1998 levels of $381,386, due to decreased sales levels in the first quarter
of 1999, and comparison with large accounts receivable amounts resulting from
strong year-end 1998 U.S. Government sales. Management believes all of the
Company's accounts receivable as of March 31, 1999 are collectible. Inventory
increased to $443,012 at March 31, 1999, from December 31, 1998 levels of
$385,365, due to lower than expected sales volumes and procurement of material
for ESTeem 192S product line production. Provision for Federal Income Taxes
increased to $23,192 at March 31, 1999 as the provision for potential tax
credit for the Company increased for the period ended March 31, 1999, as this
provision was calculated from the Company's first quarter 1999 net loss period.
The Company's fixed assets increased to $366,625 as of March 31, 1999, an
increase from December 31, 1998 levels of $358,436, due to capital expenditures
for engineering and computer network equipment of $8,189 in the first quarter
1999. Management foresees additional capital expenditures as may be necessary
in 1999 to support the production and sale of the Company's products.
The Company's deferred income liability at December 31, 1998 of $25,017 was
reduced to $0 as the Company fulfilled product contract obligations in the
first quarter of 1999 to offset the deferred income liability. In Management's
opinion, the Company's cash and cash equivalent reserves, and working capital
at March 31, 1999 is sufficient to satisfy requirements for operations, capital
expenditures, and other expenditures as may arise during 1999.
FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS: The above discussion may contain forward looking
statements that involve a number of risks and uncertainties. In addition to
the factors discussed above, among other factors that could cause actual
results to differ materially are the following: competitive factors such as
rival wireless architectures and price pressures; availability of third party
component products at reasonable prices; inventory risks due to shifts in
market demand and/or price erosion of purchased components; change in product
mix, and risk factors that are listed in the Company's reports and registration
statements filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
