NOTES
TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER
30, 2008
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE
A-SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A summary
of the significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of the
accompanying consolidated financial statements follows.
Business and Basis of
Presentation
Telkonet,
Inc. (the “Company”), formed in 1999 and incorporated under the laws of the
State of Utah, is a leading provider of innovative, centrally managed solutions
for integrated energy management, networking, building automation and proactive
support services. Prior to January 1, 2007, the Company was primarily
engaged in the business of developing, producing and marketing proprietary
equipment enabling the transmission of voice and data communications over
electric utility lines.
In
January 2006, following the acquisition of Microwave Satellite Technologies
(MST) (Note B), the Company began offering complete sales, installation, and
service of VSAT and business television networks, and became a full-service
national Internet Service Provider (ISP). The MST solution offers a complete
“Quad-play” solution to subscribers of multichannel video programming, VoIP
telephony, NuVision Broadband Internet
access and wireless fidelity (“Wi-Fi”) access, to commercial multi-dwelling
units and hotels.
In March
2007, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of Smart Systems
International (SSI), a leading provider of energy management products and
solutions to customers in the United States and Canada.
In March
2007, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding membership units of
Ethostream, LLC, a network solutions integration company that offers
installation, sales and service to the hospitality industry. The Ethostream
acquisition enables Telkonet to provide installation and support for PLC
products and third party applications to customers across North
America.
In May
2007, Microwave Acquisition Corp., a newly formed, wholly-owned subsidiary of
MSTI Holdings Inc. (formerly Fitness Xpress-Software Inc.) merged with MST. As a
result of the merger, the Company’s common stock in MST was exchanged for shares
of common stock of MSTI Holdings Inc. Immediately following the merger, MSTI
Holdings Inc. completed a private placement of its common stock for aggregate
gross proceeds of $3,078,716 and sold senior convertible debentures in the
aggregate principal amount of $6,050,000 (plus an 8% original issue discount
added to such principal amount). As a result of these transactions, the
Company’s 90% interest in MST became a 63% interest in MSTI Holdings
Inc.
In July
2007, MST, the wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company’s majority owned
subsidiary MSTI Holdings Inc., acquired substantially all of the assets of
Newport Telecommunications Co., a New Jersey general partnership. Pursuant to
the terms of the acquisition, the total consideration paid was $2,550,000,
consisting of unregistered shares of the Company’s common stock, equal to
$1,530,000, and (ii) $1,020,000 in cash.
The
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its
wholly-owned subsidiaries, Telkonet Communications, Inc. and Ethostream and
63%-owned subsidiary MSTI Holdings Inc. (reported as the Company’s MST segment).
Significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.
Investments
in entities over which the Company has significant influence, typically those
entities that are 20 to 50 percent owned by the Company, are accounted for using
the equity method of accounting, whereby the investment is carried
at cost of acquisition, plus the Company’s equity in undistributed earnings or
losses since acquisition.
Going
Concern
The
accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a
going concern. However, the Company has reported a net loss of $12,231,629 for
the nine months ended September 30, 2008, accumulated deficit of
$103,047,408 and a working capital deficit of $4,720,596 as of September
30, 2008.
The
Company believes that anticipated revenues from operations will be insufficient
to satisfy its ongoing capital requirements for at least the next 12
months. If the Company’s financial resources are insufficient, the
Company will require additional financing in order to execute its operating plan
and continue as a going concern. The Company cannot predict whether this
additional financing will be in the form of equity or debt, or be in another
form. The Company may not be able to obtain the necessary additional capital on
a timely basis, on acceptable terms, or at all. In any of these
events, the Company may be unable to implement its current plans for expansion,
repay its debt obligations as they become due, or respond to competitive
pressures, any of which circumstances would have a material adverse effect on
its business, prospects, financial condition and results of
operations.
8
Management
plans to take the following steps that it believes will be sufficient to provide
the Company with the ability to continue as a going concern. Management intends
to raise capital through asset-based financing and/or the sale of its stock in
private placements. Management believes that with this financing, the
Company will be able to generate additional revenues that will allow the Company
to continue as a going concern. There can be no assurance that the Company will
be successful in obtaining this additional funding.
Concentrations of Credit
Risk
Financial
instruments and related items, which potentially subject the Company to
concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents.
The Company places its cash and temporary cash investments with credit quality
institutions. At times, such investments may be in excess of the FDIC insurance
limit. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $210,137 and $111,957 at
September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively.
Investments
Telkonet
maintained investments in two publicly-traded companies for the nine months
ended September 30, 2008. The Company has classified these securities
as available for sale. Such securities are carried at fair market
value. Unrealized gains and losses on these securities, if any, are
reported as accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), which is a separate
component of stockholders’ equity. Unrealized losses of $2,776,304
were recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and there were no
unrealized gains or losses for the nine months ended September 30,
2007. Realized gains and losses and declines in value judged to be
other than temporary on securities available for sale, if any, are included in
operations. There were no realized gains or losses for the nine
months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
Liquidity
As shown
in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company incurred net
losses of $12,231,629 and $14,941,974 for the nine months ended September 30,
2008 and 2007, respectively. The Company's current liabilities, on a
consolidated basis, exceeded its current assets by $4,720,596 as of September
30, 2008.
Revenue
Recognition
For
revenue from product sales, the Company recognizes revenue in accordance with
Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, Revenue Recognition
(“SAB104”), which superseded Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, Revenue Recognition in Financial
Statements (“SAB101”). SAB 101 requires that four basic criteria must be
met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement
exists; (2) delivery has occurred; (3) the selling price is fixed and
determinable; and (4) collectibility is reasonably assured. Determination of
criteria (3) and (4) are based on management’s judgments regarding the fixed
nature of the selling prices of the products delivered and the collectibility of
those amounts. Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated
returns and allowances, and other adjustments are provided for in the same
period the related sales are recorded. The Company defers any revenue for which
the product has not been delivered or is subject to refund until such time that
the Company and the customer jointly determine that the product has been
delivered or no refund will be required. SAB 104 incorporates Emerging Issues
Task Force 00-21 (“EITF 00-21”), Multiple-Deliverable Revenue
Arrangements. EITF 00-21 addresses accounting for arrangements that may
involve the delivery or performance of multiple products, services and/or rights
to use assets.
For
equipment under lease, revenue is recognized over the lease term for operating
lease and rental contracts. All of the Company’s leases are accounted for as
operating leases. At the inception of the lease, no lease revenue is recognized
and the leased equipment and installation costs are capitalized and appear on
the balance sheet as “Equipment Under Operating Leases.” The capitalized cost of
this equipment is depreciated from two to three years, on a straight-line basis
down to the Company’s original estimate of the projected value of the equipment
at the end of the scheduled lease term. Monthly lease payments are recognized as
rental income.
MST
accounts for the revenue, costs and expense related to residential cable
services as the related services are performed in accordance with SFAS No. 51,
Financial Reporting by Cable
Television Companies. Installation revenue for residential cable services
is recognized to the extent of direct selling costs incurred. Direct selling
costs have exceeded installation revenue in all reported periods. Generally,
credit risk is managed by disconnecting services to customers who are
delinquent. The capitalized cost of this equipment is depreciated from three to
ten years, on a straight-line basis down to the Company's original estimate of
the projected value of the equipment at the end of the scheduled lease term and
appears on the Balance Sheet in "Cable and Related Equipment."
9
Management
identifies a delinquent customer based upon the delinquent payment status of an
outstanding invoice, generally greater than 30 days past due. The
delinquent account designation does not trigger an accounting transaction until
such time the account is deemed uncollectible. The allowance for doubtful
accounts is determined by examining the reserve history and any outstanding
invoices that are over 30 days past due as of the end of the reporting
period. Accounts are deemed uncollectible on a case-by-case basis, at
management’s discretion based upon an examination of the communication with the
delinquent customer and payment history. Typically, accounts are only
escalated to “uncollectible” status after multiple attempts have been made to
communicate with the customer.
Revenue
from sales-type leases for Ethostream products is recognized at the time of
lessee acceptance, which follows installation. The Company recognizes revenue
from sales-type leases at the net present value of future lease payments.
Revenue from operating leases is recognized ratably over the lease
period.
Guarantees and Product
Warranties
FASB
Interpretation No. 45, “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for
Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others” (“FIN 45”),
requires that upon issuance of a guarantee, the guarantor must disclose and
recognize a liability for the fair value of the obligation it assumes under that
guarantee.
The
Company’s guarantees were issued subject to the recognition and disclosure
requirements of FIN 45 as of September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007. The
Company records a liability for potential warranty claims. The amount of the
liability is based on the trend in the historical ratio of claims to sales, the
historical length of time between the sale and resulting warranty claim, new
product introductions and other factors. The products sold are generally covered
by a warranty for a period of one year. In the event the Company determines that
its current or future product repair and replacement costs exceed its estimates,
an adjustment to these reserves would be charged to earnings in the period such
determination is made. During the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and the
year ended December 31, 2007, the Company experienced approximately three
percent of units returned. As of September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the
Company recorded warranty liabilities in the amount of $130,883 and $102,534,
respectively, using this experience factor.
Reclassifications
Certain
reclassifications have been made in prior years’ financial statements to conform
to classifications used in the current year.
Registration Payment
Arrangements
The
Company accounts for registration payment arrangements under Financial
Accounting Standards board (FASB) Staff Position EITF 00-19-2, “Accounting for
Registration Payment Arrangements” (FSP EITF 00-19-2). FSP EITF 00-19-2
specifies that the contingent obligation to make future payments under a
registration payment arrangement should be separately recognized and measured in
accordance with SFAS No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies. FSP EITF 00-19-2 was
issued in December 2006. As of December 31, 2007, the Company had
accrued an estimated penalty (see Note E).
On
February 11, 2008, the investors in MSTI Holdings Inc. executed a letter
agreement with MSTI Holdings, Inc. waiving their rights to receive liquidated
damages under the registration rights agreement, in exchange for a reduction in
their warrant exercise price from $1.00 to $0.65. Therefore the
Company has reversed the accrued expense for the potential liquidated damages
during the nine months ended September 30, 2008.
Derivative Financial
Instruments
The
Company's derivative financial instruments consist of embedded derivatives
related to the Convertible Debentures entered into in May 2008. These embedded
derivatives include certain conversion features, variable interest features,
call options and default provisions. The accounting treatment of derivative
financial instruments requires that the Company record the derivatives and
related warrants at their fair values as of the inception date of the Note
Agreement (estimated at $1,399,006) and at fair value as of each subsequent
balance sheet date. In addition, under the provisions of EITF Issue No. 00-19,
"Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially
Settled in, a Company's Own Stock," as a result of entering into the Notes, the
Company is required to classify all other non-employee stock options and
warrants as derivative liabilities and mark them to market at each reporting
date. The fair value of such options and warrants that were reclassified as
liabilities from additional paid-in capital in the period ended September 30,
2008 totaled $2,993,615.
The
Company uses the Black-Scholes Pricing Model to determine fair values of its
derivatives. Valuations derived from this model are subject to ongoing internal
and external verification and review. The model uses market-sourced inputs such
as interest rates, exchange rates and option volatilities. Selection of these
inputs involves management's judgment and may impact net income. The fair value
of the derivative liabilities are subject to the changes in the trading value of
the Company's common stock. As a result, the Company's financial statements may
fluctuate from quarter-to-quarter based on factors, such as the price of the
Company's stock at the balance sheet date, the amount of shares converted by
note holders and/or exercised by warrant holders. Any change in fair
value will be recorded as non-operating, non-cash income or expense at each
reporting date. If the fair value of the derivatives is higher at the subsequent
balance sheet date, the Company will record a non-operating, non-cash charge. If
the fair value of the derivatives is lower at the subsequent balance sheet date,
the Company will record non-operating, non-cash income. Conversion-related
derivatives were valued using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model with the
following assumptions: dividend yield of 0%; annual volatility of 78% to 82%;
and risk free interest rate of 2.70% to 3.14%. The derivatives are classified as
long-term liabilities.
10
New Accounting
Pronouncements
In March
2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement No. 161,
Disclosures about Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities - an amendment of FASB Statement No.
133 (SFAS 161). SFAS 161 requires companies to provide
enhanced disclosures regarding derivative instruments and hedging activities and
requires companies to better convey the purpose of derivative use in terms of
the risks they intend to manage. Disclosures about (a) how and why an entity
uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged
items are accounted for under SFAS No. 133 and its related interpretations, and
(c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect a company’s
financial position, financial performance, and cash flows are required. This
Statement retains the same scope as SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities, and is effective for fiscal years and
interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. We do not expect the adoption
of SFAS No. 161 to have a material impact, if any, on our consolidated financial
statements.
In
February 2008, the FASB issued a FASB Staff Position (FSP) on Accounting for Transfers of
Financial Assets and Repurchase Financing Transactions (FSP FAS 140-3).
This FSP addresses the issue of whether the transfer of financial assets and the
repurchase financing transactions should be viewed as two separate transactions
or as one linked transaction. The FSP includes a rebuttable presumption that the
two transactions are linked unless the presumption can be overcome by meeting
certain criteria. The FSP will be effective for fiscal years beginning after
November 15, 2008 and will apply only to original transfers made after that
date; early adoption will not be allowed. We do not expect the adoption of FSP
FAS 140-3 to have a material impact, if any, on our consolidated financial
statements.
NOTE
B - ACQUISITION OF SUBSIDIARY
Acquisition of Microwave
Satellite Technologies, Inc.
On
January 31, 2006, the Company acquired a 90% interest in MST from Frank
Matarazzo, the sole stockholder of MST, in exchange for $1.8 million in cash and
1.6 million unregistered shares of the Company’s common stock for an aggregate
purchase price of $9,000,000. The purchase price of $9,000,000 was increased by
$117,822 for direct costs related to the acquisition. These direct costs
included legal, accounting and other professional fees. The cash portion of the
purchase price was paid in two installments, $900,000 at closing and $900,000 in
February 2007. The stock portion is payable from shares held in escrow, 400,000
shares at closing and the remaining 1,200,000 “purchase price contingency”
shares issued based on the achievement of 3,300 subscribers (as defined in
Section 2.3 of the purchase agreement) over a three year period. In the year
ended December 31, 2006, the Company issued 200,000 shares of the purchase price
contingency valued at $900,000 as an adjustment to goodwill.
Additionally,
in April 2008, the Company released from escrow 200,000 shares of the purchase
price contingency. In June 2008, the Company released from escrow an additional
400,000 shares in exchange for Mr. Matarazzo’s agreement to a debt covenant
contained in the transaction documents executed in connection with the debenture
financing with YA Global Investments LP which prohibits the use of the proceeds
obtained in the debt financing to fund MST.
On May
24, 2007, MST completed a merger transaction pursuant to which it became a
wholly-owned subsidiary of MSTI Holdings, Inc. (formerly Fitness Xpress, Inc.),
an inactive publicly registered shell corporation with no significant assets or
operations. As a result of the merger, there was a change in control of the
public shell corporation. In accordance with SFAS No. 141, MST was the acquiring
entity. While the transaction is accounted for using the purchase method of
accounting, in substance the transaction represented a recapitalization of MST’s
capital structure. For accounting purposes, the Company accounted for the
transaction as a reverse acquisition and MST is the surviving entity. MST did
not recognize goodwill or any intangible assets in connection with the
transaction. In connection with the acquisition, the Company’s 90% interest in
MST was converted to a 63% interest in MSTI Holdings,
Inc.
The
purchase price contingency shares are price protected for the benefit of the
former owner of MST. In the event the Company’s common stock price is below
$4.50 per share upon issuance of the shares from escrow, a pro rata adjustment
in the number of shares will be required to support the aggregate consideration
of $5.4 million. The price protection provision provides a cash benefit to the
former owner of MST if the as-defined market price of the Company’s common stock
is less than $4.50 per share at the time of issuance from the escrow. The
issuance of additional shares or distribution of other consideration upon
resolution of the contingency based on the Company’s common stock prices will
not affect the cost of the acquisition. When the contingency is resolved or
settled, and additional consideration is distributable, the Company will record
the current fair value of the additional consideration and the amount previously
recorded for the common stock issued will be simultaneously reduced to the lower
current value of the Company’s common stock.
11
MST is a
communications technology company that offers complete sales, installation, and
service of Very Small Aperture Terminal (VSAT) and business television networks,
and is a full-service national Internet Service Provider
(ISP). Management believes that the MST acquisition will enable
Telkonet to provide a complete “Quad-play” solution to subscribers of
multichannel video programming, VoIP telephony, NuVision Broadband Internet
access and wireless fidelity (“Wi-Fi”) access, to commercial multi-dwelling
units and hotels.
The
acquisition of MST was accounted for using the purchase method in accordance
with SFAS 141, “Business Combinations.” The value of the Company’s common stock
issued as a part of the acquisition was determined based on the average price of
the Company's common stock for several days before and after the acquisition of
MST. The results of operations for MST have been included in the Consolidated
Statements of Operations since the date of acquisition. The components of the
purchase price were as follows:

(*) At
the date of the acquisition, the effect of the “purchase price contingency”
shares valued at approximately $5.4 million had not been recorded in accordance
with FAS 141. In the second quarter of 2006, the Company issued 200,000 shares
of the purchase price contingency valued at $900,000 as an adjustment to
goodwill. The remaining shares, when issued, will reflect an adjustment to
goodwill and other intangibles.
Goodwill
and other intangible assets represent the excess of the purchase price over the
fair value of the net tangible assets acquired. The Company used a discounted
cash flow model to determine the value of the intangible assets and to allocate
the excess purchase price to the intangible assets and goodwill as appropriate.
In this model, expected cash flows from subscribers were discounted to their
present value at a rate of return of 20% (incorporating the risk-free rate,
expected inflation, and related business risks) over a period of eight years.
Expected costs such as income taxes and cost of sales were deducted from
expected revenues to arrive at after tax cash flows. In accordance with SFAS
142, goodwill is not amortized and will be tested for impairment at least
annually. The subscriber list was valued at $2,463,927 with an estimated useful
life of eight years.
The
acquisition of MST resulted in the valuation of MST’s subscriber lists as
intangible assets. The MST subscriber list was determined to have an eight-year
life. This intangible was amortized using that life, and amortization from the
date of the acquisition through December 31, 2007, was taken as a charge against
income in the consolidated statement of operations. In accordance with SFAS 144,
Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, the intangible
asset subject to amortization was reviewed for impairment at December 31,
2007.
12
Goodwill
of $1,977,768, excluding the remaining purchase price contingency, represented
the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and
intangible assets acquired. In accordance with SFAS 142, goodwill is
not amortized and will be tested for impairment at least annually. At
December 31, 2007, the Company performed an impairment test on the goodwill.
Based upon management’s assessment of operating results and forecasted
discounted cash flow, the carrying value of goodwill was determined to be
impaired and therefore the entire value of $1,977,768 was written off during the
year ended December 31, 2007. For the nine months ended September 30,
2008, the Company has estimated $380,000 impairment of the carrying value of
goodwill issued upon the release of the purchase price contingency
escrow.
Acquisition of Smart Systems
International, Inc.
On March
9, 2007, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of Smart Systems
International (SSI), a leading provider of energy management products and
solutions to customers in the United States and Canada for cash and Company
common stock having an aggregate value of $6,875,000. The purchase price was
comprised of $875,000 in cash and 2,227,273 shares of the Company’s common
stock. The Company was obligated to register the stock portion of the purchase
price on or before May 15, 2007 and on March 14, 2008 this registration
statement was declared effective. Additionally, 1,090,909 of these
shares were held in an escrow account for a period of one year following the
closing from which certain potential indemnification obligations under the
purchase agreement could be satisfied. The aggregate number of shares held in
escrow was subject to adjustment upward or downward depending upon the trading
price of the Company’s common stock during the one year period following the
closing date. On March 12, 2008, the Company released these shares
from escrow and issued an additional 1,882,225 shares on June 12, 2008
pursuant to the adjustment provision in the SSI asset purchase
agreement.
The
acquisition of SSI was accounted for using the purchase method in accordance
with SFAS 141, “Business Combinations.” The value of the Company’s common stock
issued as a part of the acquisition was determined based on the most recent
price of the Company's common stock on the day immediately preceding the
acquisition date. The results of operations for SSI have been included in the
Consolidated Statements of Operations since the date of
acquisition. The components of the purchase price were as

Acquisition of Ethostream
LLC
On March
15, 2007, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding membership units of
Ethostream, LLC, a network solutions integration company that offers
installation, sales and service to the hospitality industry. The Ethostream
acquisition will enable Telkonet to provide installation and support for PLC
products and third party applications to customers across North America. The
purchase price of $11,756,097 was comprised of $2.0 million in cash and
3,459,609 shares of the Company’s common stock. The entire stock portion of the
purchase price was deposited into escrow upon closing to satisfy certain
potential indemnification obligations of the sellers under the purchase
agreement. The shares held in escrow are distributable over the three years
following the closing. As of November 10, 2008, 876,804 shares remain in escrow
pursuant to the purchase agreement.

Goodwill
and other intangible assets represent the excess of the purchase price over the

cash flow model to determine the value of the intangible assets and to allocate
the excess purchase price to the intangible assets and goodwill as appropriate.
In this model, expected cash flows from subscribers were discounted to their
present value at a rate of return of 20% (incorporating the risk-free rate,
expected inflation, and related business risks) over a period of twelve years.
Expected costs such as income taxes and cost of sales were deducted from
expected revenues to arrive at after tax cash flows. In accordance with SFAS
142, goodwill is not amortized and will be tested for impairment at least
annually.
The
subscriber list was valued at $2,900,000 with an estimated useful life of twelve
years. This intangible was amortized using that life, and amortization from the
date of the acquisition through September 30, 2008, was taken as a charge
against income in the consolidated statement of operations.
In
accordance with SFAS 142, goodwill is not amortized and will be tested for
impairment at least annually. We completed our annual impairment
testing during the fourth quarter of 2007, and determined that there was no
impairment to the carrying value of goodwill.
Acquisition of Newport
Telecommunications Co. by Subsidiary
On July
18, 2007, Microwave Satellite Technologies, Inc., the wholly-owned subsidiary of
the Company’s majority owned subsidiary MSTI Holdings Inc., acquired
substantially all of the assets of Newport Telecommunications Co., a New Jersey
general partnership (“Newport”), relating to Newport’s business of providing
broadband internet and telephone services at certain residential and commercial
properties in the development known as Newport in Jersey City, New Jersey.
Pursuant to the terms of the Newport acquisition, the total consideration paid
was $2,550,000, consisting of (i) 866,856 unregistered shares of the Company’s
common stock, equal to $1,530,000 (which is based on the average closing prices
for the Company common stock for the ten trading days immediately prior to the
closing date), and (ii) $1,020,000 in cash.
The
acquisition of Newport was accounted for using the purchase method in accordance
with SFAS 141, “Business Combinations.” The value of the Company’s common stock
issued as a part of the acquisition was determined based on the average closing
prices for the Company common stock for the ten trading days immediately prior
to the closing date. The results of operations for Newport have been included in
the Consolidated Statements of Operations since the date of
acquisition. The components of the purchase price were as

NOTE
C - INTANGIBLE ASSETS AND GOODWILL
As a
result of the MST acquisition at January 31, 2006 and the Ethostream acquisition
on March 15, 2007 and MST’s acquisition of Newport on July 18, 2007, the Company
had intangibles totaling $7,344,114 at September 30, 2008 (Note B).
The
Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144 (SFAS
144). SFAS 144 requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable
intangibles held and used by the Company be reviewed for impairment whenever
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset
may not be recoverable. Events relating to recoverability may include
significant unfavorable changes in business conditions, recurring losses, or a
forecasted inability to achieve break-even operating results over an extended
period. The Company has determined that the value of MST’s
capitalized cable and related equipment has been impaired based upon
management’s assessment of forecasted discounted cash flow from subscriber
revenue and has written off $493,512 of its value, based on the lower of the
carrying amount or the fair value less costs to sell, for the year ended
December 31, 2007.
We used a
discounted cash flow model to determine the value of the intangible assets and
to allocate the excess purchase price to the intangible assets and goodwill as
appropriate. In this model, expected cash flows from subscribers were discounted
to their present value at a rate of return of 20% (incorporating the risk-free
rate, expected inflation, and related business risks) over a determined length
of life year. Expected costs such as income taxes and cost of sales were
deducted from expected revenues to arrive at after tax cash flows.
We have
applied the same discounted cash flow methodology to the assessment of value of
the intangible assets of Ethostream, during the acquisition completed on March
15, 2007, for purposes of determining the purchase price.
The MST
subscriber list was determined to have an eight-year life. This intangible was
amortized using that life and amortization from the date of the acquisition
through September 30, 2008 was taken as a charge against income in the
consolidated statement of operations.

The
Company does not amortize goodwill. The Company recorded goodwill in the amount
of $1,977,768 as a result of the acquisition of MST during the year ended
December 31, 2006, and additional $14,670,455 as a result of the acquisition of
Ethostream and SSI during the year ended December 31, 2007 (Note
B). At December 31, 2007, the Company determined that the value of
MST’s goodwill has been impaired based upon management’s assessment of operating
results and forecasted discounted cash flow and has written off the entire
$1,977,768 of its value. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, the
Company has estimated a $380,000 impairment of the carrying value of goodwill
issued upon the release of the purchase price contingency escrow.

On May
30, 2008, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with YA
Global Investments, L.P. (the “Buyer”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to
issue and sell to the Buyer up to $3,500,000 of secured convertible debentures
(the “Debentures”) and warrants to purchase (the “Warrants”) up to 2,500,000
shares of the Company’s Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common
Stock”). The sale of the Debentures and Warrants was effectuated in
three separate closings, the first of which occurred on May 30, 2008, and the
remainder of which occurred in June 2008. At the May 30, 2008
closing, the Company sold Debentures having an aggregate principal value of
$1,500,000 and Warrants to purchase 2,100,000 shares of Common
Stock. In July 2008, the Company sold the remaining Debentures having
an aggregate principal value of $2,000,000 and Warrants to purchase 400,000
shares of Common Stock.
Through
September 30, 2008, $710,000 of the debt has been converted to
equity. Accordingly, as of September 30, 2008, the Company has
$2,790,000 outstanding in convertible debentures. During the nine months ended
September 30, 2008, the $710,000 of convertible debentures was converted into
2,212,529 shares of common stock.
The
Debentures accrue interest at a rate of 13% per annum and mature on May 29,
2011. The Debentures may be redeemed at any time, in whole or in
part, by the Company upon payment by the Company of a redemption premium equal
to 15% of the principal amount of Debentures being redeemed, provided that an
Equity Conditions Failure (as defined in the Debentures) is not occurring at the
time of such redemption. The Buyer may also convert all or a portion
of the Debentures at any time at a price equal to the lesser of (i) $0.58, or
(ii) ninety percent (90%) of the lowest volume weighted average price of the
Company’s Common Stock during the ten (10) trading days immediately preceding
the conversion date. The Warrants expire five years from the date of
issuance and entitle the Buyers to purchase shares of the Company’s Common Stock
at a price per share of $0.61.
The
Debenture meets the definition of a hybrid instrument, as defined in SFAS
133, Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities (SFAS No. 133). The hybrid instrument
is comprised of a i) a debt instrument, as the host contract and ii) an option
to convert the debentures into common stock of the Company, as an embedded
derivative. The embedded derivative derives its value based on the underlying
fair value of the Company’s common stock. The Embedded Derivative is not clearly
and closely related to the underlying host debt instrument since the economic
characteristics and risk associated with this derivative are based on the common
stock fair value. The Company has separated the embedded derivative from the
hybrid instrument and classified the Embedded Derivative as a liability with an
offsetting debit to debt discount, which will be amortized over the term of the
debenture based on the effective interest method.
The
embedded derivative does not qualify as a fair value or cash flow hedge under
SFAS No. 133. Accordingly, changes in the fair value of the embedded derivative
are immediately recognized in earnings and classified as a gain or loss on the
embedded derivative financial instrument in the accompanying statements of
operations. There was a loss of $1,594,609 recognized for the nine months ended
September 30, 2008.
The
Company determines the fair value of the embedded derivatives and records them
as a discount to the debt and a derivative liability on the date of issue. The
Company recognizes an immediate financing expense for any excess in the fair
value of the derivatives over the debt amount. Upon conversion of the
debt to equity, any remaining unamortized discount is charged to financing
expense.
The
Company amortized the beneficial conversion feature and the value of the
attached warrants, and recorded non-cash interest expense in the amount of
$146,251, and $137,545, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30,
2008.

During
the year ended December 31, 2007, MSTI Holdings Inc., issued senior convertible
debentures (the "Debentures") having a principal value of $6,576,350 to
investors, including an original issue discount of $526,350, in exchange for
$6,050,000 from investors, exclusive of placement fees. The original issue
discount to the MSTI Debentures is amortized over 12 months. The MSTI Debentures
accrue interest at 8% per annum commencing on the first anniversary of the
original issue date of the MSTI Debentures, payable quarterly in cash or common
stock, at MSTI Holdings Inc.’s option, and mature on April 30, 2010. The MSTI
Debentures are not callable and are convertible at a conversion price of $0.65
per share into 10,117,462 shares of MSTI Holdings Inc. common stock, subject to
certain limitations. The MSTI Debenture holders are subject
to a “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” pursuant to which the number of shares of
common stock of MSTI Holdings, Inc. held by such debenture holders immediately
following conversion of the MSTI Debenture shall not exceed 4.99% of all of the
issued and outstanding common stock of MSTI Holdings, Inc. The MSTI
Debentures are senior indebtedness and the holders of the MSTI Debentures have a
security interest in all of MSTI Holdings, Inc.’s assets.
In
accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force Issue 98-5, Accounting for
Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently
Adjustable Conversion Ratios ("EITF 98-5"), MST recognized an imbedded
beneficial conversion feature present in the MSTI Debentures. The Company
allocated a portion of the proceeds equal to the intrinsic value of that feature
to the MST additional paid in capital included in the Company’s minority
interest. The Company recognized and measured an aggregate of $1,457,815 of the
proceeds, which is equal to the intrinsic value of the imbedded beneficial
conversion feature, to additional paid in capital and a discount against
the MSTI Debentures issued during the year ended December 31, 2007. The
debt discount attributed to the beneficial conversion feature is amortized over
the MSTI Debentures maturity period (three years) as interest
expense. On February 11, 2008, the MSTI Debenture holders executed a
letter agreement with MSTI Holdings, Inc. waiving their rights to receive
liquidated damages under the registration rights agreement, in exchange for a
reduction in their warrant exercise price from $1.00 to $0.65. In
connection with this waiver, the Company has recognized an additional $641,294
of debt discount attributed to the beneficial conversion feature for the nine
months ended September 30, 2008.
In
connection with the placement of the MSTI Debentures, MSTI Holdings,
Inc. also issued to the MSTI Debenture holders, five-year warrants to
purchase an aggregate of 5,058,730 shares of MSTI Holdings, Inc. common stock at
an exercise price of $1.00 per share. MSTI Holdings Inc. valued the warrants in
accordance with EITF 00-27 using the Black-Scholes pricing model and the
following assumptions: contractual terms of 5 years, an average risk free
interest rate of 5.00%, a dividend yield of 0%, and volatility of 54%. The
$931,465 of debt discount attributed to the value of the warrants issued is
amortized over the MSTI Debentures maturity period (three years) as
interest expense. On February 11, 2008, the Debenture holders
executed a letter agreement with MSTI Holdings, Inc. waiving their rights to
receive liquidated damages under the registration rights agreement, in exchange
for a reduction in their warrant exercise price from $1.00 to
$0.65. In connection with this waiver, the Company has recognized an
additional $641,294 of debt discount attributed to the value of the warrants
issued for the nine months ended September 30, 2008.
In
connection with the issuance of the MSTI Debentures, MSTI Holdings Inc. incurred
placement fees of $423,500. Additionally, MSTI Holdings Inc. issued such agents
five-year warrants to purchase 708,222 shares of MSTI Holdings Inc. common stock
at an exercise price of $1.00.
During
the nine months ended September 30, 2008, MSTI Holdings Inc. issued additional
convertible debentures with a principal value of $81,522 to existing note
holders with a maturity date of April 30, 2010. In connection with
this debenture, the Company has recognized an additional $6,522, $25,460 and
$18,938 of debt discount attributed to the original issue discount, the
beneficial conversion feature and the value of the attached warrants for the
nine months ended September 30, 2008.
18
The
Company amortized the original issue discount, the beneficial conversion feature
and the value of the attached warrants, and recorded non-cash interest expense
in the amount of $221,486, $653,901, and $521,183, respectively, for the nine
months ended September 30, 2008.
Registration
Rights Liquidated Damages
On May
24, 2007, MSTI Holdings, Inc. completed a private placement, pursuant to
which 5,597,664 shares of common stock and five-year warrants to purchase
2,798,836 shares of common stock were issued at an exercise price of $1.00 per
share, for total proceeds of $2,694,020. Additionally, MSTI Holdings,
Inc. also sold MSTI Debentures (as previously described) for total proceeds
of $6,050,000. The MSTI Debentures bear interest at a rate of 8% per
annum, commencing on the first anniversary of the original issue date of the
MSTI Debentures, payable quarterly in cash or common stock, at MSTI Holdings,
Inc. option, and mature on April 30, 2010. The MSTI Debentures are not callable
and are convertible at a price of $0.65 per share into 10,117,462 shares of MSTI
Holdings, Inc. common stock. In addition, holders of the MSTI
Debentures received five-year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 5,058,730
shares of MSTI Holdings, Inc. common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per
share.
MSTI
Holdings, Inc. agreed to file a “resale” registration statement with the SEC
within 60 days after the final closing of the private placement and the issuance
of the MSTI Debentures covering all shares of common stock sold in the private
placement and underlying the MSTI Debentures, as well as the warrants attached
to the private placement. MSTI Holdings, Inc. also agreed to use
its best efforts to have such “resale” registration statement declared
effective by the SEC as soon as possible and, in any event, within 120 days
after the initial closing of the private placement and the issuance of the MSTI
Debentures.
In
addition, with respect to the shares of common stock sold in the private
placement and underlying the warrants, MSTI Holdings, Inc. agreed to maintain
the effectiveness of the “resale” registration statement from the effective date
until the earlier of (i) 18 months after the date of the closing of the private
placement or (ii) the date on which all securities registered under the
registration statement (a) have been sold, or (b) are otherwise able to be sold
pursuant to Rule 144, at which time exempt sales may be permitted for purchasers
of the common stock in the private placement, subject to MSTI Holdings right to
suspend or defer the use of the registration statement in certain
events.
The
registration rights agreement requires the payment of liquidated damages to the
investors of approximately 1% per month of the aggregate proceeds of $9,128,717,
or the value of the unregistered shares at the time that the liquidated damages
are assessed, until the registration statement is declared
effective. In accordance with EITF 00-19-2, the Company evaluated the
likelihood of achieving registration statement
effectiveness. Accordingly, the Company accrued $500,000 as
of December 31, 2007, to account for these potential liquidated damages until
the expected effectiveness of the registration statement is
achieved.
On
February 11, 2008, the investors executed a letter agreement with MSTI Holdings,
Inc. waiving their rights to receive liquidated damages under the registration
rights agreement, in exchange for a reduction in their warrant exercise price
from $1.00 to $0.65. As a result, the Company has reversed the
accrued expense for the potential liquidated damages during the nine months
ended September 30, 2008.

calculated historical volatility of our own common stock using the trailing 24
months of share price data prior to the date of the award. We base the risk-free
interest rate used in the Black-Scholes-Merton option valuation model on the
implied yield currently available on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with an
equivalent remaining term equal to the expected life of the award. We have not
paid any cash dividends on our common stock and do not anticipate paying any
cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Consequently, we use an expected
dividend yield of zero in the Black-Scholes-Merton option valuation model. We
use historical data to estimate pre-vesting option forfeitures and record
share-based compensation for those awards that are expected to vest. In
accordance with SFAS No. 123R, we adjust share-based compensation for changes to
the estimate of expected equity award forfeitures based on actual forfeiture
experience.

______________
*The
warrants were issued to Enable Capital and originally priced at $4.17 per
share. In February 2008, these warrants were re-priced to $0.6978258
per share and the holders exercised the warrants on a cashless basis and
received 1,000,000 shares
The
Company granted 864,140 and 79,326 warrants to Convertible Senior Notes holders,
0 and 2,600,000 warrants to private placement investors (Note I), 2,500,000 and
0 to a Convertible Debenture holder, 800,000 and 0 to a Note holder,
and 0 and 76,739 compensatory warrants to non-employees during the
nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. There
was no compensatory warrant expense recorded for the nine months ended September
30, 2008. The estimated value of compensatory warrants granted during
the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was determined using the Black-Scholes
option pricing model and the following assumptions: contractual term of 5 years,
a risk free interest rate of approximately 4.75%, a dividend yield of 0% and
volatility of 70%. Compensation expense of $139,112 was charged to operations
for the nine months ended September 30, 2007.
The
purchase price of the warrants issued to Convertible Senior Note holders was
adjusted from $4.70 to $3.98 per share during the nine months ended September
30, 2008 in accordance with the anti-dilution protection provision of the
Convertible Senior Notes Payable Agreement (“the Agreement”) dated October 27,
2005, upon the occurrence of certain events as defined in the
Agreement.
In
February 2008, the Company amended certain stock purchase warrants held by
private placement investors to reduce the exercise price under such warrants
from $4.17 per share to $0.6978258 per share. The warrants entitled
the holders to purchase an aggregate of up to 3,380,000 shares of Telkonet’s
common stock. Subsequently, these private placement investors
exercised all of their warrants on a cashless basis using the five day volume
average weighted price (VWAP) as of January 31, 2008 of $.99 resulting in the
issuance of 1,000,000 shares of Company common stock. The Company has
accounted for the amended warrants issued, valued at $1,224,236, as other
expense using the Black-Scholes pricing model and the following assumptions:
contractual term of 5 years, an average risk-free interest rate of 3.5% a
dividend yield of 0% and volatility of 70%. In addition, during the
nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Company recorded non-cash expenses of
$574,426 for the re-pricing of outstanding warrants in accordance with the
anti-dilution provision of the warrant agreements.

Employment and Consulting
Agreements
The
Company has employment agreements with certain of its key employees which
include non-disclosure and confidentiality provisions for protection of the
Company’s proprietary information.
The
Company has consulting agreements with outside contractors to provide marketing
and financial advisory services. The Agreements are generally for a term of 12

The
Company entered into an exclusive financial advisor and consulting agreement in
January 2007. The agreement provides a minimum consideration fee, not less than
$250,000, in the event of equity or financing transaction where the advisor is
engaged. The agreement may be terminated with sixty days notification by either

GRQ Consultants, Inc. (“GRQ”). Telkonet agreed to pay Mr. Honig 50,000
shares of common stock per month for six (6) months, to provide the Company with

Litigation
The
Company is subject to legal proceedings and claims which arise in the ordinary
course of its business. Although occasional adverse decisions or settlements may
occur, the Company believes that the final disposition of such matters should
not have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of
operations or liquidity.
26
Senior Convertible Noteholder Claim
The
August 14, 2006 Settlement Agreement with the Senior Convertible Debenture
Noteholders provided that the number of shares issued to the Noteholders shall
be adjusted based upon the arithmetic average of the weighted average price of
the Company’s common stock on the American Stock Exchange for the twenty trading
days immediately following the settlement date (Note E). The Company
has concluded that, based upon the weighted average of the Company's common
stock between August 16, 2006 and September 13, 2006, the Company is entitled to
a refund from the two Noteholders. One of the Noteholders has
informed the Company that it does not believe such a refund is
required. As a result, the Company has declined to deliver to the
Noteholders certain stock purchase warrants issued to them pursuant to the
Settlement Agreement pending resolution of this disagreement. The Noteholder has
alleged that the Company has failed to satisfy its obligations under the
Settlement Agreement by failing to deliver the warrants. In addition, the
Noteholder maintains that the Company has breached certain provisions of the
Registration Rights Agreement and, as a result of such breach, such Noteholder
claims that it is entitled to receive liquidated damages from the Company. In
the Company’s opinion, the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a
material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial
position.
Purchase Price
Contingency
In
conjunction with the acquisition of MST on January 31, 2006, the purchase price
contingency shares are price protected for the benefit of the former owner of
MST (Note B). In the event the Company’s common stock price is below $4.50 per
share upon the achievement of thirty three hundred (3,300) subscribers a pro
rata adjustment in the number of shares will be required to support the
aggregate consideration of $5.4 million. The price protection provision provides
a cash benefit to the former owner of MST if the as-defined market price of the
Company’s common stock is less than $4.50 per share at the time of issuance from
the escrow on or before January 31, 2009. The issuance of additional shares or
distribution of other consideration upon resolution of the contingency based on
the Company’s common stock prices will not affect the cost of the acquisition.
When the contingency is resolved or settled, and additional consideration is
distributable, the Company will record the current fair value of the additional
consideration and the amount previously recorded for the common stock issued
will be simultaneously reduced to the lower current value of the Company’s
common stock. In addition, the Company agreed to fully fund the MST three year
business plan, established on January 31, 2006, to satisfy the benchmarks
established to achieve 3,300 subscribers. In the event, for any reason, the
Company materially fails to satisfy its obligations under the acquisition
agreement, then the former owners of MST shall be entitled to the release of any
and all consideration held in reserve. In May 2008, the Company executed an
agreement for a minimum commitment of $2.3 million to fund MST's business plan
in accordance with Section 11.1 of the Purchase Agreement between Telkonet and
Frank T. Matarazzo. In addition, the adjustment date for the achievement of
MST's 3,300 subscribers has been extended an additional six months.
Additionally, in April 2008 the Company issued from escrow 200,000 shares of the
purchase price contingency and advanced 400,000 shares in June 2008 in exchange
for Mr. Matarazzo’s agreement to a debt covenant restricting the use of proceeds
in the Company’s debenture financing with YA Global Investments LP (Note
E).
On March
9, 2007, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of Smart Systems
International (SSI), a leading provider of energy management products and
solutions to customers in the United States and Canada for cash and Company
common stock having an aggregate value of $6,875,000. The purchase price was
comprised of $875,000 in cash and 2,227,273 shares of the Company’s common
stock. The Company was obligated to register the stock portion of the purchase
price on or before May 15, 2007. Pursuant to the registration rights agreement,
the registration statement was required to be effective no later than July 14,
2007. The registration rights agreement does not expressly provide
for penalties in the event this deadline is not met. This
registration statement was declared effective on March 14, 2008.
Of the
stock issued in the SSI acquisition, 1,090,909 shares were being held in an
escrow account for a period of one year following the closing from which certain
potential indemnification obligations under the purchase agreement could be
satisfied. The aggregate number of shares held in escrow was subject to
adjustment upward or downward depending upon the trading price of the Company’s
common stock during the one year period following the closing
date. On March 12, 2008, the Company released these shares from
escrow and issued an additional 1,882,225 shares on June 12, 2008 pursuant
to the adjustment provision in the SSI asset purchase agreement.
On
October 19, 2007, the Company completed the acquisition of approximately 30.0%
of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Geeks on Call America,
Inc. (“GOCA”). Under the terms of the stock purchase agreement, the
Company acquired approximately 1,160,043 shares of GOCA common stock in exchange
for 2,940,202 shares of the Company’s common stock for total consideration
valued at approximately $4.5 million. The number of shares issued in connection
with this transaction was determined using a per share price equal to the
average closing price of the Company’s common stock on the American Stock
Exchange (AMEX) during the ten trading days immediately preceding the closing
date. The number of shares was subject to adjustment on the first to occur
of (i) the date the registration statement relating to such shares was declared
effective; and (ii) the date the shares become eligible for resale under Rule
144. The increase or decrease to the number of shares issued will be determined
using a per share price equal to the average closing price of the Company’s
common stock on the AMEX during the ten trading days immediately preceding the
adjustment date. On April 30, 2008, Telkonet issued an additional
3,046,425 shares of its common stock to the sellers of Geeks on Call America,
Inc. to satisfy the adjustment provision.
Senior Convertible
Debentures
On
February 11, 2008, purchasers of MSTI Holdings, Inc.
Debentures executed a letter agreement with MSTI Holdings, Inc. providing
that, among other things, in the event Frank Matarazzo ceases being Chief
Executive Officer of MSTI Holdings, Inc., MSTI Holdings, Inc. will be in default
under the Debentures.
27
NOTE
M - MINORITY INTEREST IN SUBSIDIARY
Minority
interest in results of operations of consolidated subsidiaries represents the
minority shareholders' share of the income or loss of the consolidated
subsidiary MST. The minority interest in the consolidated balance sheet reflects
the original investment by these minority shareholders in the consolidated
subsidiaries, along with their proportional share of the earnings or losses of
the subsidiaries.
On
January 31, 2006, the Company acquired a 90% interest in MST from Frank
Matarazzo, the sole stockholder of MST in exchange for $1.8 million in cash and
1.6 million unregistered shares of the Company’s common stock for an aggregate
purchase price of $9,000,000 (See Note B). This transaction resulted in a
minority interest of $19,569, which reflects the original investment by the
minority shareholder of MST.
On May
24, 2007, MST merged with a wholly-owned subsidiary of MSTI Holdings, Inc.
(formerly Fitness Xpress, Inc.). Immediately following the merger, MSTI Holdings
Inc. completed an equity financing of approximately $3.1 million through the
private placement of common stock and warrants and a debt financing of
approximately $6 million through the private placement of debentures and
warrants. These transactions resulted in additional minority interest of
$4,576,740 and increased the minority interest from 10% to 37% of MSTI Holding,
Inc. outstanding common shares.
For the
nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, the minority shareholder's share
of the loss of MST was limited to $508,435 and $0 respectively. The minority
interest in MST through September 30, 2008 was a deficit and, in accordance with
Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, subsidiary losses should not be charged
against the minority interest to the extent of reducing it to a negative amount.
As such, any losses will be charged against the Company's operations, as
majority owner. However, if future earnings do materialize, the majority owner
should be credited to the extent of such losses previously absorbed in the
amount of $545,745.
Minority
interest at September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007 amounted to $2,668,058 and
$2,978,918, respectively.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The
following discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and
results of operations should be read in conjunction with the accompanying
financial statements and related notes thereto for the quarter ended September
30, 2008 and 2007, as well as the Company’s consolidated financial statements
and related notes thereto and management’s discussion and analysis of financial
condition and results of operations in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2007 filed on March 31, 2008.
Business
Telkonet,
Inc., formed in 1999 and incorporated under the laws of the State of Utah, is a
leading provider of innovative, centrally managed solutions for integrated
energy management, networking, building automation and proactive support
services.
Through
the revolutionary Telkonet iWire System™ and newly released Series 5 platform,
Telkonet utilizes proven PLC technology to deliver commercial high-speed
Broadband access from an IP “platform” that is easy to deploy, reliable and
cost-effective by leveraging a building’s existing electrical infrastructure.
The building’s existing electrical wiring becomes the backbone of a local area
network (LAN), which converts virtually every electrical outlet into a
high-speed data port without the costly installation of additional wiring or
major disruption of business activity.
Through
the Company’s majority-owned subsidiary MSTI Holdings, Inc. (MST), the Company
is able to offer quadruple play (“Quad-Play”) services to multi-tenant unit
(“MTU”) and multi-dwelling unit (“MDU”) residential, hospitality and commercial
properties. These Quad- Play services include video, voice, high-speed internet
and wireless fidelity (“Wi-Fi”) access.
The
Company’s acquisition of EthoStream, LLC, a leading high-speed wireless
internet technology and services provider for the hospitality
industry (as described in greater detail below under “Segment Reporting”), has
enabled Telkonet to provide installation and support for PLC and HSIA products
and third party applications to customers across North America. The Company’s
new operating division represented by the assets acquired from Smart Systems
International, a leading provider of energy management products and
solutions (as described in greater detail below under “Segment
Reporting”), permits the Company to offer new energy management products and
solutions to its customers in the United States and Canada.
As a
result of Telkonet's acquisition of Smart Systems International and EthoStream,
the Company can now provide hospitality owners with a greater return on
technology investments. Hotel owners can leverage the Telkonet platform to
support wired and wireless Internet access, digital video surveillance, digital
displays and the networked energy management system. With the synergy of
EthoStream’s centralized remote monitoring and management platform extending
over HSIA, digital video surveillance and energy management, hospitality owners
will have a complete technology offering based on Telkonet’s core PLC system as
the infrastructure backbone, demonstrating true technology
convergence.
The
Company’s headquarters are located at 20374 Seneca Meadows Parkway, Germantown,
Maryland 20876. The reports that the Company files pursuant to the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 can be found at the Company’s web site at www.telkonet.com.
The
highlights and business developments for the nine months ended September 30,
2008 include the following:
·
|
Consolidated
revenue growth of 72% driven by an increase in sales of the Telkonet iWire
System™ and Telkonet SmartEnergy products
|
|
·
|
Gross
profit on consolidated net sales increased to 32% during the nine months

The
Company classifies revenue and cost of sales into two categories: product and
recurring. Product revenue is defined as products and installation services for
the Company’s broadband networks and energy management products. Recurring
(lease) revenue is primarily monthly subscription revenue for support and
network maintenance contracts for our broadband network platforms and for Quad
Play services (as defined below) offered by MST. Product and labor costs
directly related to sales are allocated to cost of sales in the period in which
they are provided. For management reporting purposes, all other expenses are
classified as operating expenses, and are recorded as such in the consolidated
statement of operations. The Company reports financial results for the following
operating business segments:
Telkonet
Segment
The
Telkonet Segment consists of the Telkonet iWire System™ and Series 5 platform,
Telkonet SmartEnergy energy management products, and centrally managed
high-speed internet network platforms integrated to form a complete SAAS
technology platform. This segment employs both direct and indirect sales models
to distribute and support its products on a worldwide basis and serves five
major markets: hospitality, commercial, industrial, government (including
defense and education) and retail.
The
Telkonet iWire System™ and Series 5 platform offer a viable and cost-effective
alternative to the challenges of hardwiring and wireless local area networks
(LANs). Telkonet’s products are designed for use in residential, commercial and
industrial applications, including multi-dwelling, hospitality, government and
utility markets. Applications supported by the Telkonet “platform” include,
but are not limited to, VoIP telephones, internet connectivity, local area
networking, video conferencing, closed circuit security surveillance, point of
sale, digital signage and a host of other information services.
29
Telkonet
has been shipping PLC products since 2003, initially targeting the hospitality
market followed by the multi-dwelling unit (MDU) market as well as the
government and other commercial markets.
The
Company released its Series 5 product on March 1, 2008. The Series 5
product provides enhancements to the Telkonet iWire System™ which include, but
are not limited to, the following:
·
|
speed
more than 14 times faster than the legacy
product,
|
·
|
more
robust security and data
encryption,
|
·
|
enhanced
quality of service, or QOS,
|
·
|
the
use of both alternating current, and direct current which makes it
highly compatible within utility and industrial
space,
|
·
|
increased
survivability in harsh environments,
and
|
·
|
additional
physical interfaces.
|
On March
9, 2007, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of Smart Systems
International (SSI), a leading provider of energy management products and
solutions to customers in the United States and Canada for cash and Company
common stock having an aggregate value of $6,875,000. The purchase price was
comprised of $875,000 in cash and 2,227,273 shares of the Company’s common
stock. 1,090,909 of these shares were held in an escrow account for a period of
one year following the closing from which certain potential indemnification
obligations under the purchase agreement could be satisfied. The aggregate
number of shares held in escrow was subject to adjustment upward or downward
depending upon the trading price of the Company’s common stock during the one
year period following the closing date. On March 12, 2008, the
Company released these shares from escrow and issued an additional
1,882,225 shares on June 12, 2008 pursuant to the adjustment provision in the
SSI asset purchase agreement.
Many of
the largest initiatives within Telkonet center on the sale of energy management
products and services. The Telkonet SmartEnergy system uses a combination of
occupancy sensors along with intelligent programmable thermostats or controllers
to adjust and maintain room temperature according to occupancy, time of day, and
environmental factors, for a preset configuration eliminating wasteful heating
and cooling of unoccupied rooms, and limiting the damaging impact of improper
temperature fluctuations. On average, the installation of these
devices can save 30% per year on heating and cooling energy
consumption.
Thus far
the hospitality, MDU, educational, and government industries have been highly
interested in energy management devices and Telkonet has increased quarterly
sales in these markets consistently during the past year. In
addition, Telkonet continues to recognize increased interest and significant
wins internationally with its SmartEnergy offering. Telkonet intends
to expand these efforts to facilitate growth acceleration in the installation of
our Telkonet SmartEnergy product line. This effort is supported by
the enforcement of new energy conservation legislation such as the Energy
Independence and Security Act signed into law by President Bush on December 19,
2007, which contains provisions to improve energy efficiency in appliances and
commercial products and reduce federal government energy
usage. Telkonet continues to support these initiatives and will
remain at the forefront of green technology solutions throughout 2008 with
introductions such as our networked Telkonet SmartEnergy product
line.
Additionally,
the integration of the Series Five product line with the energy management
products will allow Telkonet to use the electrical grid of commercial buildings
as a backbone for the networked Telkonet SmartEnergy solution making it easier,
quicker, less intrusive, and less expensive to install and operate the system
within a commercial environment. The benefits of this are
twofold. First, reduced costs provide the possibility of increased
margins on Telkonet’s sales. Second, Telkonet has increased price
flexibility in order to respond to competitive market pressures.
On March
15, 2007, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding membership units of
EthoStream, LLC, a network solutions integration company that offers
installation, sales and service to the hospitality industry. The EthoStream, LLC
acquisition enables Telkonet to provide installation and support for PLC
products and third party applications to customers across North America. The
purchase price of $11,756,097 was comprised of $2.0 million in cash and
3,459,609 shares of the Company’s common stock. The entire stock portion of the
purchase price was deposited into escrow upon closing to satisfy certain
potential indemnification obligations of the sellers under the purchase
agreement. The shares held in escrow are distributable over the three years
following the closing. As of November 10, 2008. 876,804 shares remain in
escrow pursuant to the purchase agreement.
One of
Telkonet’s largest recurring revenue streams is the Milwaukee-based technical
support center that was acquired in the EthoStream transaction. This
support center is one of the only internally-operated hospitality HSIA support
centers and the key driver in the quality and customer satisfaction with
which EthoStream is credited. Telkonet’s support center is
a fully operating 24/7, 365 day full-service customer support center
that provides e-mail, phone, and technical support not only to hospitality
internet access customers but to the third party vendors as well.
This has
been a growth market for the past several years due to business travel demand
for high quality internet access in hotel rooms. Additionally,
over the past year, the demands for high speed wireless internet access have
extended beyond the traditional business traveler with a significant number of
leisure travelers also demanding that the service be available. We
have partnered with several large hotel chains allowing us to service more than
2,500 total properties and providing connectivity to more than 2 million
travelers monthly. We continue these efforts and Telkonet’s
hospitality market expansion through working with additional franchisors through
approved or preferred affiliations and franchise upgrades or
rollouts.

provides NuVisions Wi-Fi service in and around Trump Tower on Fifth Avenue,
Trump World Tower on First Avenue, the Trump Place properties located on
Riverside Boulevard, Trump Palace, Trump Parc, Trump Parc East as well as
portions of Roosevelt Island surrounding the Octagon residential community. MST
currently has plans to deploy additional Wi-Fi “Hot Zones” throughout New York
City and continue to enlarge its Wi-Fi footprint as new properties are
served.
Internet
Protocol Television (“IPTV”)
IPTV is a
method of distributing television content over IP that enables a more
user-defined, on-demand and interactive experience than traditional cable or
satellite television. The IPTV service delivers traditional cable TV programming
and enables subscribers to surf the Internet, receive on-demand content, and
perform a host of Internet-based functions via their TV sets.

Critical Accounting Policies
and Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial
statements and accompanying notes. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate significant
estimates used in preparing our financial statements including those related to
revenue recognition, guarantees and product warranties, stock based compensation
and business combinations. We base our estimates on historical experience,
underlying run rates and various other assumptions that we believe to be
reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the
carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from
these estimates. The following are critical judgments, assumptions, and
estimates used in the preparation of the consolidated financial
statements.
31
Revenue
Recognition
For
revenue from product sales, the Company recognizes revenue in accordance with
Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, Revenue Recognition
(“SAB104”), which superseded Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, Revenue Recognition in Financial
Statements (“SAB101”). SAB 101 requires that four basic criteria must be
met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement
exists; (2) delivery has occurred; (3) the selling price is fixed and
determinable; and (4) collectibility is reasonably assured. Determination of
criteria (3) and (4) are based on management’s judgments regarding the fixed
nature of the selling prices of the products delivered and the collectibility of
those amounts. Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated
returns and allowances, and other adjustments are provided for in the same
period the related sales are recorded. The Company defers any revenue for which
the product has not been delivered or is subject to refund until such time that
the Company and the customer jointly determine that the product has been
delivered or no refund will be required. SAB 104 incorporates Emerging Issues
Task Force 00-21 (“EITF 00-21”), Multiple-Deliverable Revenue
Arrangements. EITF 00-21 addresses accounting for arrangements that may
involve the delivery or performance of multiple products, services and/or rights
to use assets.
For
equipment under lease, revenue is recognized over the lease term for operating
lease and rental contracts. All of the Company’s leases are accounted for as
operating leases. At the inception of the lease, no lease revenue is recognized
and the leased equipment and installation costs are capitalized and appear on
the balance sheet as “Equipment Under Operating Leases.” The capitalized cost of
this equipment is depreciated from two to three years, on a straight-line basis
down to the Company’s original estimate of the projected value of the equipment
at the end of the scheduled lease term. Monthly lease payments are recognized as
rental income. For sales-type leases, we record the discounted
present values of minimum rental payments under sales-type leases as
sales.
MST
accounts for the revenue, costs and expense related to residential cable
services as the related services are performed in accordance with SFAS No. 51,
Financial Reporting by Cable Television Companies. Installation revenue for
residential cable services is recognized to the extent of direct selling costs
incurred. Direct selling costs have exceeded installation revenue in all
reported periods. Generally, credit risk is managed by disconnecting services to
customers who are delinquent. The capitalized cost of this equipment is
depreciated from three to ten years, on a straight-line basis down to the
Company’s original estimate of the projected value of the equipment at the end
of the scheduled lease term and appears on the balance sheet in “Cable and
Related Equipment.”
Management
identifies a delinquent customer based upon the delinquent payment status of an
outstanding invoice, generally greater than 30 days past due. The
delinquent account designation does not trigger an accounting transaction until
such time the account is deemed uncollectible. Accounts are deemed uncollectible
on a case-by-case basis, at management’s discretion, based upon an examination
of the communication with the delinquent customer and payment
history. Typically, accounts are only escalated to “uncollectible”
status after multiple attempts have been made to communicate with the
customer. The allowance for doubtful accounts is determined by
examining the reserve history and any outstanding invoices that are over 30 days
past due as of the end of the reporting period.
Guarantees and Product
Warranties
FASB
Interpretation No. 45, “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for
Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others” (“FIN 45”),
requires that, upon issuance of a guarantee, the guarantor must disclose and
recognize a liability for the fair value of the obligation it assumes under that
guarantee.
The
Company’s guarantees were issued subject to the recognition and disclosure
requirements of FIN 45 as of September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007. The
Company records a liability for potential warranty claims. The amount of the
liability is based on the trend in the historical ratio of claims to sales, the
historical length of time between the sale and resulting warranty claim, new
product introductions and other factors. The products sold are generally covered
by a warranty for a period of one year. In the event the Company determines that
its current or future product repair and replacement costs exceed its estimates,
an adjustment to these reserves would be charged to earnings in the period such
determination is made. During the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and the
year ended December 31, 2007, the Company experienced approximately three
percent of units returned under its product warranty policy. As of September 30,
2008 and December 31, 2007, the Company recorded warranty liabilities in the
amount of $130,883 and $102,534, respectively, using this experience
factor.
New Accounting
Pronouncements
In March
2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement No. 161,
Disclosures about Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities - an amendment of FASB Statement No.
133 (SFAS 161). SFAS 161 requires companies to provide
enhanced disclosures regarding derivative instruments and hedging activities and
requires companies to better convey the purpose of derivative use in terms of
the risks they intend to manage. Disclosures about (a) how and why an entity
uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged
items are accounted for under SFAS No. 133 and its related interpretations, and
(c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect a company’s
financial position, financial performance, and cash flows are required. SFAS 161
retains the same scope as SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities, and is effective for fiscal years and
interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. We do not expect the adoption
of SFAS No. 161 to have a material impact, if any, on our consolidated financial
statements.
32
In
February 2008, the FASB issued a FASB Staff Position (FSP) on Accounting for Transfers of
Financial Assets and Repurchase Financing Transactions (FSP FAS 140-3).
This FSP addresses the issue of whether the transfer of financial assets and the
repurchase financing transactions should be viewed as two separate transactions
or as one linked transaction. The FSP includes a rebuttable presumption that the
two transactions are linked unless the presumption can be overcome by meeting
certain criteria. The FSP will be effective for fiscal years beginning after
November 15, 2008 and will apply only to original transfers made after that
date; early adoption will not be allowed. We do not expect the adoption of FSP
FAS 140-3 to have a material impact, if any, on our consolidated financial
statements.
Revenues
The
Company’s revenue is derived from product sales and recurring (lease) revenue in
the commercial, government and international markets of the Telkonet Segment.
MST revenue is derived from Quad-Play services provided to a subscriber
portfolio of MDU properties with bulk service agreements and/or access licenses
to service the individual subscribers in metropolitan New York.

For the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, product revenue in the Telkonet
Segment was approximately $3,838,000 and $10,821,000, respectively, and
increased by 24% and 73% when compared to the prior year
period. Telkonet Segment product revenue for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2008 includes approximately $1,619,000 and $6,501,000
attributed to the sale of energy management products, and approximately
$1,733,000 and $3,363,000 of products and services to the hospitality market. We
anticipate a continued consistent upward trend of quarterly growth in the energy
management and hospitality markets. The release of our Series 5 product suite in
March 2008 provides significant opportunities for increased PLC sales in the
utility and government markets.
The MST
Segment product revenue arises from the sale of equipment, installations and
ancillary services provided to customers independent of the subscriber model.
Product revenue in this segment for the three and nine months ended September
30, 2008 was approximately $127,000 and $512,000, respectively, and increased by
36% and 96% when compared to the prior year period.
Recurring
(lease) Revenue
The
recurring revenue in the Telkonet segment includes over 2,500 hotels in our
broadband network portfolio, and we currently support over 200,000 HSIA rooms,
with over 2 million monthly users. For the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2008, recurring revenue was approximately $897,000
and $2,560,000, respectively, and increased by 48% when compared to the nine
months ended September 30, 2007. We anticipate growth to our
subscriber base as we deploy additional sites under contract.
The
recurring revenue for the MST Segment subscriber base increased by approximately
$184,000 and $914,000, respectively, for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2008 compared to 2007 as a result of subscriber growth and the
acquisition of Newport Telecommunications Co. in July 2007. The MST Segment
subscriber portfolio includes approximately 22 MDU properties with bulk service
agreements and/or access licenses to service the individual subscribers in
metropolitan New York.

Costs
The
Telkonet Segment product costs include equipment and installation labor related
to the sale of broadband networking and energy management equipment, including
the Telkonet iWire System™. For the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2008, product costs in the Telkonet Segment were approximately
$2,077,000 and $6,801,000, respectively, and increased by 1% and 59% when
compared to the prior year periods. Telkonet Segment product costs
have increased in connection with the increased sales to the hospitality, energy
management and government markets.
The MST
Segment product costs primarily consist of equipment and installation labor for
installation and ancillary services provided to customers. For the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2008, product costs for the MST segment amounted
to approximately $89,000 and $324,000, respectively.
Recurring
(lease) Costs
For the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, recurring costs for the Telkonet
segment were approximately $417,000 and $1,275,000, respectively, and increased
by 33% when compared to the nine months ended September 30,
2007. This increase is primarily due to the increase in recurring
revenue for the Telkonet Segment and the addition of Ethostream’s customer
service and support infrastructure, including an internal call center, to
support the Telkonet Segment’s customer portfolio.
The MST
Segment’s recurring costs amounted to approximately $939,000 and $2,701,000,
respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30,
2008. These costs consist of customer support, programming and
amortization of the capitalized costs to support the subscriber
revenue. Although MST's programming fees are a significant portion of
the cost, MST continues to pursue competitive agreements and volume discounts in
conjunction with the anticipated growth of the subscriber base. The customer
support costs include build-out of the support services necessary to develop and
support the build-out of the Quad-Play subscriber base in metropolitan New York.
The capitalized costs are amortized over the lease term and include equipment
and installation labor.

Gross Profit
The gross
profit for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 increased compared
to the prior year period as a result of product sales and installations in the
Telkonet Segment and represented 46% and 37% of product revenue, respectively.
We anticipate an increase in our gross profit trend for product sales as energy
management, utility and government market opportunities expand. Additionally,
the integration of acquired companies has resulted in opportunities to
internalize installation services and streamline processes.
34
Recurring
(lease) Gross Profit
The
Telkonet Segment’s gross profit associated with recurring (lease) revenue
increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, and
represented approximately 54% and 50%, respectively, of recurring (lease)
revenue. The centralized remote monitoring and management platform
and internal call support center will provide the platform to maintain and
expand gross profit for the Telkonet Segment’s recurring revenue.
The MST
Segment’s gross profit represented approximately -4% and -3%, respectively, of
total revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, compared
to the prior year period, primarily due to programming costs and the support
infrastructure. MST anticipates that an expanded subscriber base utilizing the
current infrastructure and reduced programming costs will facilitate increased
gross profit.

and nine months ended September 30, 2008 by approximately $137,000 and $69,000,
or -21% and -4%, respectively. The Research and Development costs are associated
with the development of the Series 5 product suite and the integration of new
applications to the Telkonet iWire System, and the development of Telkonet
SmartEnergy product suite. The Company does not anticipate significant cost
increases throughout 2008.

Selling,
general and administrative expenses decreased for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2008 over the comparable prior year by approximately
$1,442,000 and $2,741,000, or -32% and -21%, respectively. This decrease is
primarily the result of the efficiencies in the organization resulting
in salary and related costs reductions as well as reduced travel costs,
professional fees and rent and related costs for the Telkonet Segment as
compared to the prior year period. We expect to maintain a consistent
quarterly selling, general and administrative expenses as compared to the three
months ended September 30, 2008 during the remainder
of 2008.
Backlog
The
Telkonet Segment maintains contracts and monthly services for more than 2,500
hotels which are expected to generate approximately $3,600,000 annual recurring
support and internet advertising revenue. In addition Telkonet
has approximately 33 agreements under contract in the HSIA market, and the total
contracted HSIA installations currently amount to approximately $200,000,
excluding monthly services. The current HSIA backlog trends on a 4-8 week
delivery.
The
Telkonet Segment has maintained certain purchase orders relating to a major
utilities energy management initiative provided through the two selected
providers. The current order backlog amounts to approximately $800,000 and the
estimated remaining program value amounts to $4,500,000 for products and
services to be provided through March 2010. In addition, the Company recently
contracted a similar energy efficiency program in Wisconsin estimated to achieve
5,000 rooms and establish offerings within utility programs
nationally.
The MST
subscriber portfolio includes approximately 22 MDU properties with bulk service
agreements and/or access licenses to service the individual subscribers in
metropolitan New York. The remaining terms of the access agreements provide MST
access rights from 7 to 15 years with the final agreement expiring in 2016 and
the revenues to be recognized under non-cancelable bulk agreements provide a
minimum of $1,720,000 in revenue through 2013.

Convertible
Debenture
On May
30, 2008, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with YA
Global Investments, L.P. (the “Buyer”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to
issue and sell to the Buyer up to $3,500,000 of secured convertible debentures
(the “Debentures”) and warrants to purchase (the “Warrants”) up to 2,500,000
shares of the Company’s Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common
Stock”). The sale of the Debentures and Warrants was effectuated in
three separate closings, the first of which occurred on May 30, 2008, and the
remainder of which occurred in July 2008. At the May 30, 2008
closing, the Company sold Debentures having an aggregate principal value of
$1,500,000 and Warrants to purchase 2,100,000 shares of Common
Stock. In July 2008, the Company sold the remaining Debentures having
an aggregate principal value of $2,000,000 and Warrants to purchase 400,000
shares of Common Stock.
The
Debentures accrue interest at a rate of 13% per annum and mature on May 29,
2011. The Debentures may be redeemed at any time, in whole or in
part, by the Company upon payment by the Company of a redemption premium equal
to 15% of the principal amount of Debentures being redeemed, provided that an
Equity Conditions Failure (as defined in the Debentures) is not occurring at the
time of such redemption. The Buyer may also convert all or a portion
of the Debentures at any time at a price equal to the lesser of (i) $0.58, or
(ii) ninety percent (90%) of the lowest volume weighted average price of the
Company’s Common Stock during the ten (10) trading days immediately preceding
the conversion date. The Warrants expire five years from the date of
issuance and entitle the Buyers to purchase shares of the Company’s Common Stock
at a price per share of $0.61.
Senior
Note Payable
On July
24, 2007, Telkonet entered into a Senior Note Purchase Agreement with GRQ
Consultants, Inc. pursuant to which the Company issued to GRQ a Senior
Promissory Note in the aggregate principal amount of $1,500,000. The
Note was due and payable on the earlier to occur of (i) the closing of the
Company’s next financing, or (ii) January 28, 2008, and bore interest at a
rate of six (6%) percent per annum. The Company incurred approximately $25,000
in fees in connection with this transaction. The net proceeds from the issuance
of the Note were used for general working capital needs. In
connection with the issuance of the Note, the Company also issued to GRQ
warrants to purchase 359,712 shares of common stock at $4.17 per share. These
warrants expire five years from the date of issuance. On February 8,
2008, this note was repaid in full including $49,750 in interest from the
issuance date through the date of repayment.
Convertible
Senior Debentures-MST
In May
2007, MST issued Debentures having a principal value of $6,576,350, plus an
original issue discount of $526,350, in exchange for $6,050,000 from investors,
exclusive of placement fees. The original issue discount to the MST Debentures
is amortized over 12 months. The MST Debentures accrue interest at 8% per annum
commencing on the first anniversary of the original issue date of the MST
Debentures, payable quarterly in cash or common stock, at MST’s option, and
mature on April 30, 2010. The MST Debentures are not callable and are
convertible at a conversion price of $0.65 per share into 10,117,462 shares of
MST common stock, subject to certain limitations.
In
connection with the placement of the MST Debentures, MST also issued to the
MST Debenture holders, five-year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 5,058,730
shares of MST common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share. In
connection with the issuance of the MST Debentures, MST incurred placement
fees of $423,500. Additionally, MST issued its placement
agents five-year warrants to purchase 708,222 shares of MST common stock at
an exercise price of $1.00 per share. On February 11, 2008, the MST
Debenture holders executed a letter agreement with MSTI waiving their
rights to receive any potential liquidated damages under the registration rights
agreement executed in connection with this transaction in exchange for a
reduction in their warrant exercise price from $1.00 to $0.65.
The
purchase agreement executed in connection with the May 2007 private offering of
convertible debentures (the “Debentures”) and warrants to purchase common stock
(the “Warrants”) prohibits MST from directly or indirectly, among other things,
creating or incurring any indebtedness (other than Permitted Indebtedness, as
such term is defined in the Purchase Agreement) without the consent of the
holders of at least 85% of the principal amount of outstanding
Debentures.
On
October 16, 2008, the Purchasers executed a letter agreement (the “Letter
Agreement”) with MST pursuant to which, among other things:
(i)
|
the
Purchasers consented to the issuance of additional debentures in the
aggregate principal amount of $352,631 (the “Additional
Debentures”);
|
(ii)
|
the
Purchasers consented to the issuance of 2 million shares of common stock
along with the additional
debentures;
|
(iii)
|
the
Purchasers consented to the issuance of up to $2.0 million of shares of
the Company’s common stock and the same number of common stock purchase
warrants at a purchase price of at least $0.125 per
share;
|
(iv)
|
the
Maturity Date of the Additional Debentures will be automatically extended
to April 30, 2010, as same may be accelerated pursuant to the terms of the
Additional Debentures upon the occurrence of both the following
conditions: (i) the non-occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in
the Additional Debenture) or an event which with the passage of time or
the giving of notice could become an Event of Default, and (ii) the
receipt of net proceeds by the Company from a Qualified Offering (as
defined in the Letter Agreement);
and
|
(v)
|
The
Purchase Agreement was amended to include the Additional Debentures and
the shares issuable upon the conversion of the Additional
Debentures.

37
Related
Party Promissory Note
On May 6,
2008, Telkonet executed a Promissory Note in the aggregate principal amount of
$400,000. The Note was due and payable on the earlier to occur of (i)
the closing of the Company’s next financing, or (ii) November 6,
2008. In connection with the issuance of the Note, the Company issued
warrants to purchase 800,000 shares of Telkonet common stock at $0.60 per
share. These warrants expire five years from the date of
issuance. The note was repaid in July 2008.
Acquisition
of Microwave Satellite Technologies, Inc. (MST)
On
January 31, 2006, the Company acquired a 90% interest in MST from Frank
Matarazzo, the sole stockholder of MST in exchange for $1.8 million in cash and
1.6 million unregistered shares of the Company’s common stock for an aggregate
purchase price of $9,000,000. The cash portion of the purchase price was paid in
two installments, $900,000 at closing and $900,000 in February 2007. The stock
portion is payable from shares held in escrow, 400,000 shares of which were
paid at closing and the remaining 1,200,000 shares of which shall be issued
based on the achievement of 3,300 “Triple Play” subscribers over a three year
period. As of November 1, 2008, the Company has issued 800,000 shares
of the purchase price contingency. In the event the Company’s common stock price
is below $4.50 per share upon the final issuance of shares from
escrow, a pro rata adjustment in the number of shares will be required to
support the aggregate consideration of $5.4 million. As of May 1, 2008, the
Company’s common stock price was below $4.50. To the extent that the market
price of the Company’s common stock is below $4.50 per share upon issuance of
the shares from escrow, the number of shares issuable on conversion is ratably
increased, which could result in further dilution of the Company’s
stockholders.
In April
2008, the Company released from escrow 200,000 shares of the purchase price
contingency. In June 2008, the Company released from escrow an
additional 400,000 shares in exchange for Mr. Matarazzo’s agreement to a debt
covenant contained in the transaction documents executed in connection with the
debenture financing with YA Global Investments LP which prohibits the use of the
proceeds obtained in the debt financing to fund MST.
Acquisition
of Smart Systems International (SSI)
On March
9, 2007, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of Smart Systems
International (SSI), a leading provider of energy management products and
solutions to customers in the United States and Canada for cash and Company
common stock having an aggregate value of $6,875,000. The purchase price was
comprised of $875,000 in cash and 2,227,273 shares of the Company’s common
stock.
Of the
stock issued in the transaction, 1,090,909 shares were held in an escrow
account for a period of one year following the closing from which certain
potential indemnification obligations under the purchase agreement could be
satisfied. The aggregate number of shares held in escrow was subject to
adjustment upward or downward depending upon the trading price of the Company’s
common stock during the one year period following the closing
date. On March 12, 2008, the Company released these shares from
escrow and issued an additional 1,882,225 shares on June 12, 2008 pursuant
to the adjustment provisions of the SSI asset purchase agreement.
Acquisition
of Ethostream, LLC
On March
15, 2007, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding membership units of
Ethostream, LLC, a network solutions integration company that offers
installation, sales and service to the hospitality industry. The purchase price
of $11,756,097 was comprised of $2.0 million in cash and 3,459,609 shares of the
Company’s common stock. The entire stock portion of the purchase price was
deposited into escrow upon closing to satisfy certain potential indemnification
obligations of the sellers under the purchase agreement. The shares held in
escrow are distributable over the three years following the closing. As of
November 10, 2008, 876,804 shares remain in escrow pursuant to the purchase
agreement.
Proceeds
from the issuance of common stock
During
the nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Company issued 2,500,000 shares of
common stock valued at $0.60 per share for an aggregate purchase price of
$1,500,000. The proceeds of this offering were used to repay the principal
of the Senior Promissory Note to GRQ.
Cashflow
analysis
Cash
utilized in operating activities was $4,094,908 during the nine months ended
September 30, 2008 compared to $12,591,264 in the previous comparable period.
The primary use of cash during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was for
operating activities.
[For the
remainder of fiscal 2008, our primary capital needs are for operating expenses,
including funds to support our business strategy, which primarily includes
working capital necessary to fund inventory purchases. We anticipate
funding our operations through working capital generated by the following:
(i) cash flow from sales of our products; (ii) reducing our inventory
levels and managing our operating expenses; (iii) maximizing our trade
payables with our domestic and international suppliers; (iv) increasing
collection efforts on existing accounts receivables; and (v) utilizing our
receivable and inventory-based agreements.]
38
The
Company utilized cash for investing activities of $1,008,719 and $6,499,669
during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007,
respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, these
expenditures were primarily due to the purchase of equipment under operating
lease by MST. In 2007, these expenditures primarily arose
from the payment of the cash portion of the MST purchase price of $900,000,
cash payments of $875,000 and $2,000,000, for the acquisitions of SSI and
Ethostream, respectively, and $1,020,000 for the acquisition of Newport
Telecommunications in July 2007 by our MST subsidiary. The cost of
equipment under operating leases amounted to $999,718 and $1,162,832 for the
nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007,
respectively. Purchases of property and equipment amounted to $80,407
and $266,280 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007,
respectively.
The
Company had cash from financing activities of $3,624,037 and $19,029,482
during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The
financing activities involved the sale of 2.5 million shares of common stock at
$0.60 per share for a total of $1,500,000, in February 2008, the proceeds of
which were used to repay the outstanding principal amount on the GRQ
Note. Additionally, the Company sold debentures for gross proceeds of
$3,500,000 in May and July 2008, and the Company received a $400,000 loan
from a board member, which was offset by $462,511 in financing costs
paid. During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, the financing
activities represented proceeds of $9,610,000, net of placement fees, from the
sale of 4.0 million shares of common stock at $2.50 per share, the issuance of a
senior note payable in the principal amount of $1,500,000 and proceeds from the
exercise of stock options and warrants of $111,960. Through its
majority-owned subsidiary MSTI Holdings, Inc., the Company raised $5,303,238
through the sale of debentures, and $2,694,020 through the sale of common stock,
during the nine months ended September 30, 2007.
We are
reducing cash required for operations by reducing operating costs and staff
levels. In addition, we are working to manage our current liabilities while we
continue to make changes in operations to improve our cash flow and liquidity
position.
Our
registered independent certified public accountants have stated in their report
dated March 31, 2008, that we have incurred operating losses in the past years,
and that we are dependent upon management's ability to develop profitable
operations. These factors, among others, may raise substantial doubt about our
ability to continue as a going concern.
While we
have raised capital to meet our working capital and financing needs, additional
financing is required in order to meet our current and projected cash flow
requirements from operations and development. Additional investments are being
sought, but we cannot guarantee that we will be able to obtain such investments
on favorable terms or at all. Financing transactions may include the issuance of
equity or debt securities, obtaining credit facilities, or other financing
mechanisms. However, the trading price of our common stock and the downturn in
the U.S. stock and debt markets could make it more difficult to obtain financing
through the issuance of equity or debt securities. Even if we are able to raise
the funds required, it is possible that we could incur unexpected costs and
expenses, fail to collect significant amounts owed to us, or experience
unexpected cash requirements that would force us to seek alternative financing
which we may not be able to obtain. Further, if we issue additional equity or
debt securities, stockholders may experience additional dilution or the new
equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of
existing holders of our common stock. If additional financing is not available
or is not available on acceptable terms, we will have to curtail our
operations.
Inflation
We do not
believe that inflation has had a material effect on our business, financial
condition or results of operations. If our costs were to become subject to
significant inflationary pressures, we may not be able to fully offset such
higher costs through price increases. Our inability or failure to do so could
adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of
operations.
Acquisition or Disposition
of Property and Equipment
During
the nine months ended September 30, 2008, fixed assets and costs of equipment
under operating leases increased $999,718 primarily from purchases of
equipment for the MST Quad-Play build-out. The remainder is related to
computer equipment and peripherals used in day-to-day operations. The Company
anticipates significant expenditures in the MST Segment to continue the
build-out the head-end equipment, IPTV and other related projects. The Telkonet
Segment does not anticipate the sale or purchase of any significant property,
plant or equipment during the next twelve months, other than the purchase of
computer equipment and peripherals to be used in the Company’s day-to-day
operations.
In April
2005, the Company entered into a three-year lease agreement for 6,742 square
feet of commercial office space in Crystal City, Virginia. Pursuant to this
lease, the Company agreed to assume a portion of the build-out cost for this
facility. In February 2007, the Company agreed to sub-lease the Crystal City,
Virginia office through the remaining term of the contract resulting in a loss
of approximately $192,000. This lease terminated in March
2008.
39
MST
presently leases 12,600 square feet of commercial office space in Hawthorne, New
Jersey for its office and warehouse spaces. This lease will expire in April
2010.
Following
the acquisitions of Smart Systems International and Ethostream, the Company
assumed leases on 9,000 square feet of office space in Las Vegas, NV for Smart
Systems International on a month to month basis and 4,100 square feet of office
space in Milwaukee, WI for Ethostream. The Ethostream lease expires in May
2011. The Las Vegas, NV office lease expired on April 30,
2008.

Item
3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
Short
Term Investments
Our
excess cash is held in money market accounts in a bank and brokerage firms both
of which are nationally ranked top tier firms with an average return of
approximately 400 basis points. Due to the conservative nature of our investment
portfolio, an increase or decrease of 100 basis points in interest rates would
not have a material effect on our results of operations or the fair value of our
portfolio.
Marketable
Securities
Telkonet
maintained investments in two publicly-traded companies for the nine months
ended September 30, 2008. The Company has classified these securities
as available for sale. Such securities are carried at fair market
value. Unrealized gains and losses on these securities, if any, are
reported as accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), which is a separate
component of stockholders’ equity. Unrealized losses of $2,776,304
were recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and there were no
unrealized gains or losses for the nine months ended September 30,
2007. Realized gains and losses and declines in value judged to be
other than temporary on securities available for sale, if any, are included in
operations. There were no realized gains or losses for the nine
months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007.
Investments
in Privately Held Companies
We have
invested in a privately held company, which is in the startup or development
stage. This investment is inherently risky because the market for the products
of this company is developing and may never materialize. As a result, we could
lose our entire initial investment in this company. In addition, we could also
be required to hold our investment indefinitely, since there is presently no
public market in the securities of this company and none is expected to develop.
This investment is carried at cost, which as of November 1, 2008 was $8,000 and
recorded in other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
Item
4. Controls and Procedures.
As of
September 30, 2008, the Company performed an evaluation, under the supervision
and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer
and Chief Financial Officer (Principal Accounting Officer), of the effectiveness
of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures as defined
in Rules 13a - 15(e) or 15d - 15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Based upon that evaluation, the
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s
disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to
material information required to be included in the Company’s periodic filings
with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. During the nine months ended
September 30, 2008, there was no change in the Company’s internal control over
financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the
Exchange Act) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to
materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial
reporting.

PART
II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item
1. Legal Proceedings.
On July
2, 2008, Ethostream was named as a defendant in Linksmart Wireless Technology, LLC
v. T-Mobile USA, Inc., et al, filed in the Eastern District of
Texas. The suit names 22 defendants and claims that the defendants’
services, including those of Ethostream infringe a wireless network security
patent held by Linksmart. Linksmart is seeking a judgment for damages
(including statutory enhanced damages), costs, expenses and prejudgment and
post-judgment interest and a permanent injunction enjoining the defendants from
infringing its patent. In connection with a Vendor Direct Supplier
Agreement between Ethostream and WWC Supplier Services, Inc., the Company has
determined that it owes the duty to defend and indemnify Defendant Ramada
Worldwide, Inc. and it has assumed Ramada’s defense. The Company
believes the claim is without merit and intends to vigorously defend the
allegations.
Item
1A. Risk Factors.
The
Company’s results of operations, financial condition and cash flows can be
adversely affected by various risks. These risks include, but are not limited
to, the principal factors listed below and the other matters set forth in this
quarterly report on Form 10-Q. You should carefully consider all of these
risks.
The
Company has a history of operating losses and an accumulated deficit and expects
to continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future.
Since
inception through September 30, 2008, the Company has incurred cumulative losses
of $103,047,408 and has never generated enough funds through operations to
support its business. Additional capital may be required in order to provide
working capital requirements for the next twelve months.
A
significant portion of our total assets consists of goodwill, which is subject
to a periodic impairment analysis and a significant impairment determination in
any future period could have an adverse effect on our results of operations even
without a significant loss of revenue or increase in cash expenses attributable
to such period.
We have
goodwill totaling approximately $14.7 million at September 30, 2008 resulting
from recent and past acquisitions. We evaluate this goodwill for impairment
based on the fair value of the operating business units to which this goodwill
relates at least once a year. This estimated fair value could change if we are
unable to achieve operating results at the levels that have been forecasted, the
market valuation of those business units decreases based on transactions
involving similar companies, or there is a permanent, negative change in the
market demand for the services offered by the business units. These changes
could result in an impairment of the existing goodwill balance that could
require a material non-cash charge to our results of operations.
