Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration
This statement is being filed to report the fact that as of the date
hereof, due to dilution of the Common Stock beneficially held by the Reporting
Persons as a result of the recent investment by Halfmoon Bay Capital Ltd, each
of the Reporting Persons has ceased to be a beneficial owner of more than 5%
of the Common Stock of the Issuer.
The Issuer was incorporated under the laws of the state of Nevada as
Bluestone Ventures Inc. ("Bluestone") on July 12, 2000. The Issuer changed its
name to Electronic Sensor Technology, Inc. on January 26, 2005. The Reporting
Persons acquired their shares of Common Stock in connection with the acquisition
by merger of the parent companies of Electronic Sensor Technology, L.P. (the
acquisition, as more fully described below, referred to herein as the
"Transaction").
On February 1, 2005, pursuant to the terms of an Agreement and Plan of
Merger by and among the Issuer, Amerasia Technology, Inc. ("Amerasia
Technology") holder of approximately 55% of the partnership interests of
Electronic Sensor Technology, L.P., L&G Sensor Technology, Inc. ("L&G Sensor
Technology") holder of approximately 45% of the partnership interests of
Electronic Sensor Technology, L.P., Amerasia Acquisition Corp., a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Issuer, and L&G Acquisition Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary
of the Issuer, the
1
Issuer acquired 100% of the outstanding equity partnership interests of
Electronic Sensor Technology, L.P. Under the Agreement and Plan of Merger:
(i) Amerasia Technology merged with and into Amerasia Acquisition Corp.
such that it became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Issuer;
(ii) L&G Sensor Technology merged with and into L&G Acquisition Corp. such
that L&G Sensor Technology became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Issuer;
(iii) as a result of the mergers of (i) and (ii), the Issuer indirectly
acquired the partnership interests of Electronic Sensor Technology,
L.P.; and
(iv) The Issuer issued 20,000,000 shares of its Common Stock to the
shareholders of Amerasia Technology and L&G Sensor Technology.
Prior to the Transaction, Dr. Lim owned 37.76% of the outstanding
shares of Amerasia Technology. Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, Dr.
Lim had the right to receive 3,851,520 shares of Bluestone common stock in
exchange for his shares of Amerasia Technology, which he assigned to TC Lim and
such shares were issued to TC Lim in the Transaction.
Prior to the Transaction, Electronic Sensor Technology, L.P. entered
into Debt Conversion Agreements with holders of its outstanding debt, including
Dr. Lim and Amerasia Technology. Pursuant to the Debt Conversion Agreement with
Dr. Lim, Electronic Sensor Technology, L.P. agreed to convert $517,899 of debt
into the right to receive 517,899 shares of Bluestone common stock and a warrant
to purchase 258,950 shares of Bluestone common stock at $1.00 per share,
exercisable only if the trading price of such stock is at least $1.50 per share,
which Dr. Lim assigned to TC Lim. Pursuant to the Debt Conversion Agreement with
Amerasia Technology, Electronic Sensor Technology, L.P. agreed to convert
$952,577 of debt into the right to receive 952,577 shares of Bluestone common
stock and warrants to purchase 476,289 shares of Bluestone common stock at $1.00
per share, exercisable only if the trading price of such stock is at least $1.50
per share. Following the Transaction, the Issuer issued such common stock and
warrants to the former debtholders of Electronic Sensor Technology, L.P., of
which TC Lim received (i) 517,899 shares and a warrant to purchase 258,950
shares by virtue of the debt owed to Dr. Lim and (ii) 359,693 shares and a
warrant to purchase 179,846 shares, which represented Dr. Lim's portion of the
shares and warrants received by Amerasia Technology and distributed to its
shareholders.
Dr. Lim was granted an option to purchase 80,000 limited partnership
interests of Electronic Sensor Technology, L.P. at $1.00 per limited partnership
interest on December 31, 2003. Such option was terminated, pursuant to a
Termination Agreement, in connection with the Transaction and was replaced with
an option to purchase 80,000 shares of Common Stock at $1.00 per share.
On January 16, 2007, Teong Lim was granted an option under the Issuer's
2005 Stock Incentive Plan to acquire 100,000 shares of Common Stock at an

price of $0.19 per share. The option shares were fully vested upon grant.
