INFORMATION STATEMENT

WE ARE NOT ASKING YOU FOR A PROXY AND YOU ARE
REQUESTED NOT TO SEND US A PROXY.

To Our Shareholders:

This information statement is first being furnished on or about _____, 2008 to shareholders of record as of May 7, 2008 (the "record date") of Electronic Sensor Technology, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the "company," "we," "our," or "us"), to advise such shareholders of certain actions to be taken without a meeting upon the written consent of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the common stock of the company. The company's 2007 annual report is being mailed to shareholders concurrently with this information statement.

On July 10, 2008, the company received a written consent in lieu of a meeting of shareholders from the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock of the company entitled to vote as of such date and as of the record date, in connection with the following actions: (1) election of directors and (2) approval of a ten-to-one (10-to-1) reverse stock split of the company's common stock.

The decision to forgo holding an annual meeting of shareholders and to rely upon the shareholders acting by written consent in lieu of an annual meeting to ratify and approve the proposed actions is authorized by Section 1.1 of the company's bylaws, which provides that, unless otherwise required by applicable law, the Board of Directors may choose not to hold an annual meeting and by Section 78.320 of the Nevada Revised Statutes and Section 1.5 of the company's bylaws, which provide that the written consent of shareholders holding at least a majority of the voting power may be substituted for such annual meeting. In order to eliminate the costs and management time involved in holding meeting and in order to effect or ratify the proposals as early as possible, the an annual Board of Directors of the company voted to utilize the written consent of the majority shareholders.

Sincerely,

/s/ Philip Yee

PROPOSED ACTIONS TO BE TAKEN

This information statement contains a summary of the material aspects of the actions approved by the Board of Directors and the holders of the majority of the outstanding common stock of the company.

Election of Directors

The Board of Directors of the company nominated the following persons on April 30, 2008, to stand for election to the company's Board of Directors until their successors are elected and assume office. The following slate of nominees was approved by written consent of the majority shareholders on July 10, 2008:

Teong C. Lim Rita Benoy Bushon Barry S. Howe

Lewis Larson Maggie Tham James Wilburn

William Wittmeyer

All of the above individuals are currently serving as directors of the company. See pages 8 through 11 for biographical information regarding the directors.

Reverse Stock Split

Our Board of Directors and the holders of a majority of our outstanding common stock have adopted and approved resolutions to effect a ten-to-one (10-to-1) reverse stock split of the company's outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.001. Under the reverse stock split, each ten (10) shares of our common stock will be automatically converted into one (1) share of common stock.

The reverse stock split will affect all of the holders of the company's common stock uniformly and will not affect any shareholder's percentage ownership interest in the company or proportionate voting power, except for insignificant changes that will result from the rounding of fractional shares.

The reverse stock split will enable the company to maintain a sufficient amount of authorized but unissued shares to honor the exercise and conversion of existing warrants, debentures and options issued by the company. In addition, the Board of Directors and the holders of a majority of the company's common stock believe that the reverse stock split is in the best interest of the company and its shareholders as the reverse stock split is expected to increase the quoted price of its common stock. However, there can be no assurance that the reverse stock split will have such an effect and the effect of the reverse stock split on the quoted price for the common stock cannot be accurately predicted. We cannot assure that the quoted price for shares of common stock will be proportionately greater after the reverse stock split, or that the quoted price will increase, or that any increase will be maintained for any period of time, after the reverse stock split.

The principal effect of the reverse stock split will be to reduce the total number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding from 155,853,385 to approximately 15,585,339 shares. The number of authorized shares and par value of our common stock will not change.

Before and immediately following the reverse stock split, the number of shares of the company's common stock will be as follows (subject to slight adjustment for rounding of any fractional shares):

 Common Stock Outstanding Common Stock Authorized

Pre Reverse Stock Split 155,853,385 200,000,000

10-to-1 Reverse Stock Split 15,585,339 200,000,000

2

Procedure for Exchange of Stock Certificates

The effective date of the reverse stock split will be on or about, but no earlier than, twenty (20) days after this information statement is mailed to our record shareholders. Beginning on the effective date, each certificate representing pre-reverse split shares will be deemed to evidence ownership of post-reverse split shares.

Our transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, will act as exchange agent for purposes of implementing the exchange of stock certificates. Holders of pre-reverse split shares are asked to surrender to the exchange agent certificates representing pre-reverse split shares in exchange for certificates representing post-reverse split shares in accordance with the procedures set forth in the letter of transmittal that will be sent to shareholders or can be requested from our transfer agent. No new certificates will be issued to a shareholder until that shareholder has surrendered the shareholder's outstanding certificate(s) together with the properly completed and executed letter of transmittal.

Neither the Nevada Revised Statutes nor the company's articles of incorporation or bylaws provide for appraisal rights in connection with the reverse stock split.

SHAREHOLDERS SHOULD NOT DESTROY ANY STOCK CERTIFICATE AND SHOULD NOT SUBMIT ANY CERTIFICATES WITHOUT THE LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL.

Fractional Shares

No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the reverse stock split. All fractional shares resulting from the reverse stock split will be rounded up to the nearest whole share.

Material Federal Income Tax Consequences

The following summary describes the material U.S. federal income tax consequences that may be relevant to a shareholder of our common stock with respect to the reverse stock split. This summary only applies to our common stock held as capital assets and does not discuss all the tax consequences that may be relevant to a shareholder in light of its particular circumstances or to shareholders subject to special rules, such as: financial institutions; insurance companies; tax-exempt organizations; real estate investment trusts; regulated investment companies; grantor trusts; persons that have a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar; persons that own shares of our common stock through partnerships or other pass through entities; a shareholder of our common stock who received his or her common stock through the exercise of employee stock options or otherwise as compensation or through a tax-qualified retirement plan; dealers or traders in securities or currencies; certain former citizens or long-term residents of the United States; or persons that will hold shares of our common stock as a position in a "straddle" or as a part of a "hedging", "conversion" or other risk reduction transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Moreover, this description does not address the U.S. federal estate and gift tax or alternative minimum tax consequences of the reverse stock split.

We have not sought, and will not seek, an opinion of counsel or a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service regarding the federal income tax consequences of the reverse stock split. Accordingly, each shareholder of our common stock should consult its tax advisor with respect to the U.S. federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences of the reverse stock split.

This summary is based on the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, existing, proposed and temporary U.S. Treasury Regulations and judicial and administrative interpretations thereof, in each case, as in effect and available on the date hereof. All of the foregoing are subject to change (possibly with retroactive effect) or differing interpretations which could affect the tax consequences described herein.

No gain or loss should be recognized by a shareholder with respect to their shares of common stock as a result of the reverse stock split; provided, however, any whole shares of common stock received in lieu of fractional shares may result in a taxable gain or loss. The aggregate tax basis of the shares received in the reverse stock split will be the same as the shareholder's aggregate tax basis in the shares of common stock exchanged. The shareholder's holding period for the shares received in the reverse stock split will include the period during which the shareholder held the shares surrendered as a result of the reverse stock split. The company's views regarding the tax consequences of the reverse stock split are not binding upon the Internal Revenue Service or the courts, and there is no assurance that the Internal Revenue Service or the courts would accept the positions expressed above. The state and local tax consequences or the reverse stock split may vary significantly as to each shareholder, depending on the state and locality in which the shareholder resides.

3

Anti-Take Over Effect

The reverse stock split could adversely affect the ability of third parties to takeover or change the control of the company, for example, by permitting issuances that would dilute the stock ownership of a person seeking to effect a change in the composition of the Board of Directors or contemplating a tender offer or other transaction for the combination of the company with another company. Although the increased proportion of unissued authorized shares to issued shares could, under certain circumstances, have an anti-takeover effect, the reverse stock split is not being undertaken in response to any effort of which we are aware to accumulate shares of our common stock or obtain control of the company, nor is it part of a plan by management to recommend a series of similar transactions that could be construed to affect the ability of third parties to take over or change the control of the company.

Summary of Reverse Stock Split

Below is a brief summary of the reverse stock split:

o The issued and outstanding common stock shall be reduced on the basis of one (1) post-split share of the common stock for every ten (10) pre-split shares of the common stock outstanding. The consolidation shall not affect any rights, privileges or obligations with respect to the shares of common stock existing prior to the consolidation.

o Shareholders of record of the common stock as of the effective date of the reverse stock split, which will be on or about, but no earlier than, twenty (20) days following the mailing of this information statement, shall have their total shares reduced on the basis of one (1) post-split share of common stock for every ten (10) pre-split shares outstanding.

o As a result of the reduction of the common stock, the pre-split total of issued and outstanding shares of 155,853,385 shall be consolidated to a total of approximately 15,585,339 issued and outstanding shares (depending on the number of fractional shares that are issued).

o The company's authorized number of common stock shall remain at 200,000,000 shares of common stock.

This action has been approved by the Board of Directors and the written consent of the majority shareholders.

You are being provided with this information statement pursuant to
Section 14C of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Regulation 14C and Schedule 14C thereunder, and, in accordance therewith, the reverse stock split will not become effective until at least twenty (20) calendar days after the mailing of this information statement.

DISSENTERS' RIGHT OF APPRAISAL

Neither the Nevada Revised Statutes nor the company's articles of incorporation or bylaws provide for appraisal rights in connection with the proposed actions.

AMENDMENT TO BYLAWS

Pursuant to the company's bylaws, the Board of Directors has the authority to amend the bylaws by a vote of not less than a majority of the Board of Directors. On June 6, 2008, the Board of Directors unanimously adopted and approved a resolution to amend the bylaws of the company to clarify that the Board of Directors has the flexibility to choose whether to hold an annual meeting of its shareholders or to rely upon the shareholders of the company acting by written consent of the holders of the majority of the company's common stock in lieu of a meeting. A copy of the amended bylaws of the company is attached as Exhibit 3.1 to our current report on Form 8-K filed on June 12, 2008.

Change in Control

On March 28, 2008, the company entered into and closed a Securities Purchase Agreement with Halfmoon Bay, pursuant to which, in exchange for a purchase price of $5,500,000 paid by Halfmoon Bay, Electronic Sensor Technology issued (i) 86,419,753 shares of its common stock at a price of $0.0405 per share (which is 90% of the closing quotation of the common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board for the trading day preceding the closing date) and (ii) a 9% convertible debenture due five (5) years from the closing date, with a conversion price of $0.0486 (which is 120% of the price at which the common stock was issued to Halfmoon Bay) in a principal amount of $2,000,000, with interest to be paid thereon semiannually. According to Amendment No. 1 to its Schedule 13D/A filed with the SEC on April 10, 2008, Halfmoon Bay provided the consideration for the transaction from existing working capital and existing banking facilities. The company agreed to use, and did use, $3,500,000 of the purchase price paid by Halfmoon Bay, in addition to shares of its common stock, to extinguish the existing 8% convertible debentures, and related accrued interest, held by Midsummer Investment Ltd. and Islandia, LP, pursuant to the Conversion and Termination Agreement among the company and Midsummer and Islandia dated as of February 26, 2008, which is further described in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on February 27, 2008.

As a result of the transaction described above, Halfmoon Bay owns approximately 55% of the outstanding common stock of the company, and beneficially owns an additional 10% of the outstanding common stock of the company by virtue of the shares underlying its 9% convertible debenture. Immediately prior to such transaction, no single shareholder of the company owned a majority of the outstanding shares of the company, and the company's largest owners of outstanding shares were L&G Resources (1994), Inc. (wholly owned by Land & General Berhad), owning approximately 16%; TC Lim, LLC (wholly owned by Teong Lim, a director of the company), owning approximately 9%; 3 Springs, LLC (wholly owned by Francis Chang, a former director of the company), owning approximately 7%; and Midsummer and Islandia, collectively owning approximately 8%).

To the knowledge of management, there are no present arrangements or pledges of securities of the company which may result in a further change in control of the company.

Director Independence

Although we are not required to have independent directors on our Board of Directors because our securities are not listed on a national securities exchange or an inter-dealer quotation system which has director independence requirements, five of the seven directors on our Board are independent using the definition of "independent director" contained in Rule 4200(15) of the NASDAQ Marketplace Rules. Our independent directors are Rita Benoy Bushon, Maggie Tham, Lewis Larson, James Wilburn and William Wittmeyer. Under Rule 4200(a)(15) of the NASDAQ Marketplace Rules, an "independent director" is generally defined as a person other than an executive officer or employee of the company or another individual having a relationship which, in the opinion of the company's Board of Directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director.

The members of our audit committee include James Wilburn, who is also the chairman, Maggie Tham and Lewis Larson. The members of our compensation committee include James Wilburn, who is also the chairman, and Lewis Larson. In addition to being an independent director under Rule 4200(a)(15), the NASDAQ audit committee independence standards (which are also not applicable to us) contain NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 4350(d), which requires that audit committee members meet certain additional independence requirements. All of our audit committee members, Maggie Tham, Lewis Larson and James Wilburn, are independent under the NASDAQ audit committee independence standards.

Board of Directors Committees

Our Board of Directors held ten (10) meetings during our 2007 fiscal year. Each director attended 75% or more of the meetings of the Board and the Board committees on which the director served, if any. All seven of our directors serving at the time of our 2007 annual meeting of shareholders attended such meeting. From time to time, our Board may act by unanimous written consent as permitted by the laws of the State of Nevada.

Our Board of Directors has formed an audit committee and a compensation committee. During our 2007 fiscal year, the audit committee and the compensation committee each held three (3) meetings. The members of the audit committee are James Wilburn, who is also the chair of the committee, Maggie Tham and Lewis Larson. The members of our compensation committee include James Wilburn, who is also the chair of the committee, and Lewis Larson. Generally, the functions to be performed by the audit committee are selecting our independent auditor, directing and supervising investigations into matters within the scope of its duties, reviewing with the independent auditor the plan and results of its audit, reviewing internal auditing procedures and results, and determining the nature of other services to be performed by, and fees to be paid to, the independent auditor. Generally, the functions to be performed by the compensation committee include establishing compensation rates and procedures with respect to our senior management. Both committees have adopted charters, each of which is posted on our website at http://www.estcal.com/. The information on or that can be accessed through our website is not part of this information statement.

Our Board of Directors does not yet have a standing nominating committee or committee performing similar functions. Director candidates are currently selected by the Board of Directors, some of whom are independent as defined in the NASDAQ Marketplace Rules, and others of whom are not. In evaluating director nominees, our Board considers a variety of factors, including: the appropriate size of our Board of Directors; our needs with respect to the particular talents and experience of our directors; and the knowledge, skills and experience of nominees. We do not have a formal policy with respect to the consideration of any director candidates recommended by our shareholders. Our Board believes its process for evaluation of nominees proposed by shareholders would be no different from the process of evaluating any other candidate.

Audit Committee Financial Expert

Our Board of Directors has determined that we have one audit committee financial expert serving on our audit committee. Our audit committee financial expert is Lewis Larson. Although there are no standards applicable to us regarding the independence of our audit committee members, Mr. Larson would be considered independent using the standards contained in the audit committee standards, as described above under "Director Independence."

Report of the Audit Committee

The audit committee has reviewed and discussed our audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 with management.

The audit committee has discussed with Sherb & Co. LLP, the company's independent registered public accounting firm, the matters required to be discussed by Statement of Auditing Standards No. 61 (Communication with Audit Committees), as amended. The audit committee received from Sherb & Co. the written disclosures required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1 and discussed with them their independence.

Based on the review and discussions noted above, the audit committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the audited consolidated financial statements be included in our annual report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 for filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
