ITEM II
MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION
Managements discussion and analysis is intended to be read in conjunction with the companys unaudited financial statements and the integral notes thereto for the quarter ending September 30, 2005. 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 Companys ESTeem wireless modem systems, accessories, and services increased to $650,195 for the third quarter of 2005 as compared to $457,485 in the third quarter of 2004, reflecting an increase of 42% from the previous years quarter. Gross revenues increased to $661,454 for the quarter ending September 30, 2005, from $463,482 for the third quarter of 2004, reflecting an increase of 43% from the previous year. Management believes the increase in sales revenue is due to strong domestic and foreign export Industrial Automation product sales for the quarter when compared with relatively soft performance from these market segments during the same quarter of 2004. Management believes the increase in foreign export sales is the result of the comparatively strong third quarter 2005 sales into the countries of Colombia, Croatia and Canada for Industrial Automation projects, when compared with the third quarter of 2004. Management is of the opinion that domestic sales increased due to strong sales of the Companys ESTeem 195Eg Ethernet modem product and related accessories for Ethernet based Industrial Automation projects when compared with the same quarter of 2004.
As of September 30, 2005, revenues from the sale of the Companys products and services decreased to $1,780,378 for the first nine months of 2005, as compared to $1,789,944 for the same period of 2004. Management believes the decrease in revenues year-to-date, is the result of increased product and price competition in the industrial automation market, which negatively impacted revenues during 2004 and the first half of 2005. Not withstanding third quarter results, Management is cautious that 2005 sales revenues as a whole will be negatively impacted by these competitive and economic factors. The Company continues to counter these competitive and economic factors by increasing salesperson activity to enhance relationships with resellers of the Companys products and to maintain tradeshow attendance specifically targeted to markets of the Companys products.
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's revenues fall into four major customer categories, Domestic, Export, Mobile Data Computer (MDCS) and U.S. Government Sales. Domestic commercial sales increased to $376,546 in the third quarter of 2005 as compared to $295,566 for the third quarter of 2004. Foreign export sales for the third quarter of 2005 increased to $180,282 as compared to the $80,441 in the same quarter of 2004, due to strong sales to Colombia, Croatia and Canada when compared with the same period of 2004.
MDCS sales for public safety entities increased to $81,710 in the third quarter of 2005, as compared to $66,651 for the same period of 2004. In September 2005, the Company received a commitment from Mississippi State Highway Patrol to purchase MDCS related products of approximately $210,000 through a reseller of the Companys products. As of September 30, 2005, the Company had completed delivery of $30,000 in products for this project, and expects to complete delivery by the end of the first quarter of 2006. However completion is dependent upon order release from the reseller and integration scheduling on the part of the Mississippi State Highway Patrol. U.S. Government sales decreased slightly to $11,657 in the third quarter of 2005, from third quarter 2004 levels of $14,827. Due to the uncertain nature of U.S. Government purchasing, Management does not base profitability or liquidity projections on expected U.S. Government sales.No sale to a single customer comprised 10% or more of the Companys product and service sales for the quarter ending September 30, 2005.
A percentage breakdown of ESTs major customer categories of Domestic, Export and U.S. Government Sales, for the third quarter of 2005 and 2004 is as follows:

The majority of the Company's domestic and foreign sales for the third quarter of 2005 were used in Industrial Automation applications
It is Managements opinion that the majority of the Companys sales will continue to be in Industrial Automation applications for the foreseeable future. Industrial Automation applications for the Companys products will be augmented by sales of MDCS for public safety entities. During the third quarter of 2005, MDCS sales accounted for 12% of the Companys sales and service revenues.BACKLOG:
The Company had a backlog of $198,400 at September 30, 2005, which was comprised of orders placed late in September and ongoing MDCS projects. Customers generally place orders on an "as needed basis". Shipment for most of the Companys 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 percentages of gross sales for the third quarters of 2005 and 2004 were 43% and 48%, respectively. The cost of sales decrease during the third quarter of 2005 is the result a favorable change in product mix of items sold and pricing discounts on those products, when compared with the same period of 2004.
OPERATING EXPENSES:
Operating expenses for the third quarter of 2005 increased $15,539 when compared with the third quarter of 2004. The following is a delineation of operating expenses:
