Growing Technology Companies In 2005
KENNEWICK, WASHINGTON --- October 6, 2005 --- Electronic Systems Technology, Inc. (EST) (OTCBB: ELST), has been named to Deloitte's prestigious Technology Fast 50 Program for Washington State, a ranking of the 50 fastest growing technology companies in the area by Deloitte & Touche LLP, one of the nation’s leading professional services organizations. Rankings are based on the percentage of growth in revenues over five years, from 2000–2004.
To qualify for the Technology Fast 50, companies must have had operating revenues of at least $50,000 in 2000 and $1,000,000 in 2004. They must be public or private, have it's headquarters in Washington, and be a "technology company" defined as owning proprietary technology that contributes to a significant portion of the company's operating revenues, and/or devoting a significant proportion of revenues to research and development of technology. Using other companies' technology in a unique way does not qualify.

We commend Electronic Systems Technology for making the commitment to technology and delivering on the promise of market longevity," said Larry Hile a partner in Deloitte's Seattle office. "We are proud to honor Electronic Systems Technology as a Deloitte Technology Fast 50 winner."
