NOTE 3 - EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

Basic earnings (loss) per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings (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. At June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company had 210,000 and 180,000 outstanding stock options, respectively, that could have a dilutive effect on future periods’ net income. The stock options were not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share for either period as they were anti-dilutive.

NOTE 4 - STOCK OPTIONS

No stock options were issued, exercised, or expired during the six month periods ended June 30, 2022 and 2021. During the same periods, 30,000 and 0 nil options were forfeited in 2022 and 2021 respectively.

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 quarter ended June 30, 2020. The following statements may be forward looking in nature and actual results may differ materially.

REVENUES: Total revenues from sales decreased to $416,892 for the second quarter of 2022 as compared to $457,003 in the second quarter of 2021, reflecting a decrease of 8.8%. Management believes the decrease in sales revenues is due to the impact of supply chain delays to materials needed by our customers to compete projects. Year to date total revenues from sales increased to $889,035 in 2022 as compared to $881,779 in 2021, reflecting an increase of 0.8%. Management believes the increase in sales revenues is due the company increased inventory level and the ability to ship orders in a timely manner.

The Company's revenues have historically fluctuated from quarter to quarter due to timing factors such as product shipments to customers, customer order placement, 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 with regard to the Company's revenues are difficult to predict.

A percentage breakdown of the Company’s market segments of Domestic and Foreign Export sales for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 are as follows:

BACKLOG:

As of June 30, 2022, the Company had a sales order backlog of $24,857. 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 5 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 for the second quarters of 2022 and 2021 were 46% and 47% of respective net sales. The cost of sales percentage decreased in the second quarter of 2022 is the result of the product mix sold during the same quarter of 2021. Cost of sales percentages for the six month periods ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 were 45.1% and 44.7%, respectively. The cost of sales percentage increase in the second quarter of 2022 is the result of the product mix sold during the same period of 2021.

OPERATING EXPENSES:

The following is a delineation of operating expenses:

General and administrative: For the second quarter of 2022, general and administrative expenses increased $295 to $66,747, due to increased wages when compared with the same quarter of 2021. For the six-month period, general and administrative expenses decreased by $8,433 to $151,522, due to decreased services purchased. General and administrative expense was 16.0% compared to 14.5% of sales revenue for the second quarter of 2022 and 17.0% compared to 18.1% of sales revenue for six month period ended June 30, 2022.

Research and development: Research and development expenses decreased $8,393 to $45,856 during the second quarter of 2022 due to decreased payroll expenses when compared with the same quarter of 2021. For the six-month period, research and development expenses decreased by $15,316 to $91,633, due to decreased payroll expenses. Research and development expense was 11.0% compared to 11.9% of sales revenue for the second quarter of 2022 and 10.3% compared to 12.1% of sales revenue for six month period ending June 30, 2022.

Marketing and sales: During the second quarter of 2022, marketing and sales expenses increased $4,823 to $132,242 when compared with the same period of 2021, due to increased benefits expenses and travel. For the six-month period, marketing and sales expenses increased by $47,767 to $269,401, due to increased payroll. Marketing and sales expense was 31.7% compared to 27.9% of sales revenue for the second quarter of 2022 and 30.3% compared to 25.1% of sales revenue for six month period ended June 30, 2022.

OTHER INCOME:

The Company earned $594 in interest income during the quarter ended June 30, 2022 and $1,085 for the six-month period. Sources of this income were money market accounts and certificates of deposit. In 2021, the Company recognized a gain on forgiveness of debt in the amount of $150,118 for the first CARES Act loan (PPP round 1).

NET LOSS:

The Company had a net loss of 18,796 for the second quarter of 2022 compared to a net income of $146,370 for the same quarter of 2021. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2022, the Company recorded a net loss of $23,757 compared with net income of $151,052 for the same period of 2021. The decrease in net income during 2022 is the result of increased operating expenses and no CARES Act forgiveness.

B.       FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Corporation's current asset to current liabilities ratio at June 30, 2022 was 21.0 compared to 12.7 at December 31, 2021. The increase in current ratio is due to the decrease of accounts payable and short-term leases payable at June 30, 2022 as compared to December 31, 2021.

At June 30, 2022, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $579,021 as compared to cash and cash equivalent of $655,616 at December 31, 2021.

Cash provided from operating activities decreased by $419,549 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2022 when compared to the same period in 2021. The decrease is attributable to a decrease in net income for the period being $174,809 less than the same period in 2021. The reduction in the change in accounts receivable and inventory balances contributed $120,753 and $167,186 respectively.

In management's opinion, the Company's cash and cash equivalents and other working capital at June 30, 2022 is sufficient to satisfy requirements for operations, capital expenditures, and other expenditures as may arise during 2022 and into the first half of 2023.

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.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

The Company has no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to its stockholders.

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 June 30, 2022. 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 June 30, 2022.

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.
