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, 2000. 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 increased to $270,535 for the first quarter of 2000 as compared to $220,176 in the first quarter of 1999. Gross revenues increased to $289,119 for the quarter ending March 31, 2000, from $235,153 for the same quarter of 1999. It is Management's belief that the increased revenues are the result of increased Domestic and U.S. Government sales in the first quarter of 2000. This increase in this quarter is highlighted, by comparing sales revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2000, with sales revenues of the first quarter of 1999, which was a quarter with low sales revenues and did not contain any U.S. Government sales revenues. In Management's opinion the increase in Domestic sales is the result of increased demand for the Company's products for industrial automation control projects, during the first quarter of 2000.
The Company's revenues fall into three major customer categories, Domestic, Export and U.S. Government sales. Domestic commercial sales increased to $242,877 in the first quarter of 2000 as compared to $207,163 for the first quarter of 1999. Foreign export sales for the first quarter of 2000 increased to $16,842 as compared to the $13,013 in foreign sales in the same quarter of 1999. The Company had sales of $10,816 to U.S. Government programs for the first quarter of 2000 as compared with no revenues in the first quarter 1999. The increase in U.S. Government sales is primarily the result of the Company's products being selected for use in a military airfield lighting project in the first quarter of 2000. Engineering services billed in the first quarter of 2000 increased to $42,122 as compared with $40,442 for the same quarter of 1999. The increase is the result of increased engineering services performed by the Company when compared with the first quarter of 1999, primarily due to increased engineering services related with the Company's ongoing projects for mobile data computer systems for public safety entities. During the quarter ended March 31, 2000 sales to Industrial Electronics and Controls, one of the Company's distributors, consisted of 13% of the Company's sales and service revenues. No other sales to a 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 2000 and 1999 are as follows:

The Company's domestic and foreign sales for the first quarter of 2000 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.
Based on previous year's activity, the majority of all U.S. Government purchases are under the Company's General Services Administration (GSA) contract. Historically, U.S. Government sales average approximately 18% of annual sales, but this level cannot be guaranteed, and during 1999 the Company experienced a reduction in U.S. Government sales to 3% of annual sales revenues. Due to the uncertain nature of U.S. Government purchasing, the level of U.S. Government sales cannot be guaranteed to return to levels experienced in the past by the Company, which in turn may result in reduced sales revenues and profitability for the Company. 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 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.
BACKLOG:
The Corporation had backlog of $229,000 as of March 31, 2000, which includes Mobile Data Computers for Public Safety entity projects, expected to be completed within the next 90 days. Customers generally place orders on an "as needed basis". With the exception of extended delivery times for Mobile Data Computers for Public Safety entity projects, for which delivery involves extended time periods for engineering services and third party service and material providers, 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 2000 and 1999 were 54% and 52% of gross sales respectively. Cost of Sales variations are attributable to the type of product sold, order size, and pricing structure, for discounts granted. The increase in cost of sales in the first quarter of 2000 is due to a combination of product mix, changes in pricing structure and discounts granted to resellers.
OPERATING EXPENSES:
Operating expenses for the first quarter of 2000 increased $966 from first quarter of 1999 levels. The following is a delineation of operating expenses:

Total Operating Expenses |
$175,852 |
$174,886 |
$ 966 |
Finance and Administration: During the first quarter of 2000, Finance and Administration expenses decreased $21,757 when compared with the first quarter of 1999. The decrease is the result of decreased salaries and wages paid during the first quarter of 2000, due to the Company not paying a profit sharing bonus caused by reduced profitability during 1999.
Research and Development: Research and Development expenses increased $6,324 during the first quarter of 2000, over the same period in 1999. The increase in Research and Development costs is due to increased subcontracted Research and Development expertise, associated with development activity of the Company's product lines.
Marketing: During the first quarter of 2000, marketing expenses increased $11,624 when compared with the same period of 1999. The increase is due to timing differences in advertising by the Company, as well as increase tradeshow and travel expenses during the first quarter of 2000 when compared with the first quarter of 1999.
Customer Service: Customer service expenses increased $4,775 during the first quarter of 2000 when compared with expenses for the same quarter of 1999. The increase in costs is primarily due to increased customer service salaries and wages cost that were not directly billed to customers during the first quarter of 2000, when compared with the first quarter of 1999.
INTEREST AND DIVIDEND INCOME:
The Corporation earned $18,584 in interest and dividend income during the quarter ending March 31, 2000. Sources of this income were savings and money market accounts and short term investments.
ENGINEERING SUPPORT:
Engineering support costs increased to $35,468 as of March 31, 2000, as compared to $35,350 for the same period of 1999. The engineering support costs for the first quarter of 2000, are directly resultant of the size and scope of engineering services billed by the Company during the first quarter of 2000, specifically projects for the Company's Mobile Data Computer products.
NET LOSS:
The Company had a net loss of $30,357 for the first quarter of 2000 compared to net loss of $45,020 for the same quarter of 1999. The net loss is attributable to relative effect sales revenues, cost of goods sold, and operating expenses for the first quarter of 2000.
B. FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Corporation's current asset to current liabilities ratio at March 31, 2000 was 12:1 compared to 34.2:1 at December 31, 1999. The decrease in current ratio is due to increases in refundable customer deposits and accounts payable amounts when compared with December 31, 1999 amounts.
For the quarter ending March 31, 2000, the Company had cash and cash equivalent short-term investment holdings of $1,638,973 as compared to cash and cash equivalent holdings of $1,624,728 at December 31, 1999. The increase is attributable primarily to receipt of refundable customer deposits for future delivery of Mobile Data Computer for Public Safety projects when compared with December 31, 1999 levels, and was offset by the Company's net loss, and increased inventory levels.
Accounts receivable decreased slightly to $151,865 as of March 31, 2000, from December 31, 1999 levels of $154,788. Management believes all of the Company's accounts receivable as of March 31, 2000 are collectible. Inventory increased to $470,842 at March 31, 2000, from December 31, 1999 levels of $357,490, due to increased procurement for production of products primarily for Mobile Data Computer projects. Provision for Federal Income Taxes increased to $20,684 at March 31, 2000 as the provision for potential tax credit for the Company increased for the period ended March 31, 2000, as this provision was calculated from the Company's first quarter 2000 net loss amount.
The Company's fixed assets, net of depreciation, decreased to $136,250 as of March 31, 2000, decreased from December 31, 1999 levels of $145,123, solely due to depreciation of the Company's fixed assets. The Company did not have any capital expenditures of fixed assets in the first quarter of 2000, however, Management foresees capital expenditures may be necessary in 2000 to support the production and sale of the Company's products.
