(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., formed in 1999 and incorporated under the laws of the state of Utah, has
evolved into a Clean Technology company that develops and manufactures
proprietary energy efficiency and SmartGrid networking
technology. 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 a
building’s existing internal electrical wiring.
In
January 2006, of the Company acquired 90% of Microwave Satellite Technologies,
Inc. (MST), and through this subsidiary, 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). In 2009, the Company completed the deconsolidation of
MST by reducing its ownership percentage and board
membership. Financial statements and accompanying notes included in
this report include disclosure of the results of operations for MST, for all
periods presented, as discontinued operations.
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.
The
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Telkonet Communications, Inc. and
EthoStream, LLC. Significant intercompany transactions have been
eliminated in consolidation.
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. The Company has reported a net income available to common
shareholders of $4,162,143 for the nine months ended September 30,
2009. However, the Company has reported operating losses of
$1,816,354, excluding gains on derivative liabilities, impairment of marketable
securities and discontinued operations, for the nine months ended September
30, 2009. In addition, the Company has reported an accumulated
deficit of $110,639,175 and a working capital deficit of $3,500,889 as of
September 30, 2009.
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 from
operations 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.
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 additional funding.

Goodwill and Other
Intangibles
Goodwill
represents the excess of the cost of businesses acquired over fair value or net
identifiable assets at the date of acquisition. Goodwill is subject
to a periodic impairment assessment by applying a fair value test based upon a
two-step method. The first step of the process compares the fair
value of the reporting unit with the carrying value of the reporting unit,
including any goodwill. The Company utilizes a discounted cash flow
valuation methodology to determine the fair value of the reporting
unit. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds the carrying
amount of the reporting unit, goodwill is deemed not to be impaired in which
case the second step in the process is unnecessary. If the carrying
amount exceeds fair value, the Company performs the second step to measure the
amount of impairment loss. Any impairment loss is measured by
comparing the implied fair value of goodwill, calculated per SFAS No. 142,
with the carrying amount of goodwill at the reporting unit, with the excess of
the carrying amount over the fair value recognized as an impairment
loss.
Fair Value of Financial
Instruments
In
January 2008, the Company adopted the provisions under FASB for Fair Value
Measurements, which define fair value for accounting purposes, establishes a
framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure requirements regarding
fair value measurements. The Company’s adoption of these provisions
did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. Fair
value is defined as an exit price, which is the price that would be received
upon sale of an asset or paid upon transfer of a liability in an orderly
transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The
degree of judgment utilized in measuring the fair value of assets and
liabilities generally correlates to the level of pricing
observability. Financial assets and liabilities with readily
available, actively quoted prices or for which fair value can be measured from
actively quoted prices in active markets generally have more pricing
observability and require less judgment in measuring fair
value. Conversely, financial assets and liabilities that are rarely
traded or not quoted have less price observability and are generally measured at
fair value using valuation models that require more judgment. These
valuation techniques involve some level of management estimation and judgment,
the degree of which is dependent on the price transparency of the asset,
liability or market and the nature of the asset or liability. The
Company has categorized its financial assets and liabilities measured at fair
value into a three-level hierarchy in accordance with these
provisions.
Investments
Telkonet
maintained investments in two publicly-traded companies for the period ended
September 30, 2009. 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 gains on the sale of
one investment resulted in a gain of $32,750 recorded for the nine months ended
September 30, 2009 and unrealized losses of $2,776,304 were recorded for the
nine months ended September 30, 2008. 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. Realized losses of
$397,024 were recognized for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, of which,
a $29,371 loss was recorded in February 2009 for the sale of the Company’s
investment in Multiband, and a $367,653 loss was recorded in September 2009 for
the write-off of the Company’s remaining investment in Geeks on Call America,
Inc. There were no realized gains or losses for the nine months ended
September 30, 2008.
Use of
Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual
results could differ from those estimates.

(UNAUDITED)
Revenue
Recognition
For revenue from product sales, the Company recognizes
revenue in accordance with FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification
(“ASC”) 605-10, and ASC Topic 13 guidelines that
require 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. The guidelines also address the 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.
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
Reclassifications
Certain
reclassifications have been made in prior year's financial statements to conform
to classifications used in the current year.
Non-controlling
Interest
As a
result of adopting FASB ASC 810-10 Consolidations – Variable Interest Entities,
on January 1, 2009, we present non-controlling interests (previously shown as
minority interest) as a component of equity on our Consolidated Balance Sheets
and Consolidated Statement of Equity (Deficit). The adoption of this
guidance did not have any other material impact on our financial position,
results of operations or cash flow.
New Accounting
Pronouncements
Accounting Standards Codification
and GAAP Hierarchy — Effective for interim and annual periods
ending after September 15, 2009, the Accounting Standards Codification and
related disclosure requirements issued by the FASB became the single official
source of authoritative, nongovernmental GAAP. The ASC simplifies GAAP, without
change, by consolidating the numerous, predecessor accounting standards and
requirements into logically organized topics. All other literature not included
in the ASC is non-authoritative. We adopted the ASC as of September 30, 2009,
which did not have any impact on our results of operations, financial condition
or cash flows as it does not represent new accounting literature or
requirements. All references to pre-codified U.S. GAAP have
been removed from this Form 10-Q.
Financial
Instruments — Effective for interim and annual periods ending
after June 15, 2009, GAAP established new disclosure requirements for the
fair value of financial instruments in both interim and annual financial
statements. Previously, the disclosure was only required annually. We adopted
the new requirements as of July 4, 2009, which resulted in no change to our
accounting policies, and had no effect on our results of operations, cash flows
or financial position, but did result in the addition of interim disclosure of
the fair values of our financial instruments.

(UNAUDITED)
Consolidation
— Effective for interim and annual periods beginning after
November 15, 2009, with earlier application prohibited, GAAP amends the
current accounting standards for determining which enterprise has a controlling
financial interest in a VIE and amends guidance for determining whether an
entity is a VIE. The new standards will also add reconsideration events for
determining whether an entity is a VIE and will require ongoing reassessment of
which entity is determined to be the VIE’s primary beneficiary as well as
enhanced disclosures about the enterprise’s involvement with a VIE. We are
currently assessing the future impact these new standards will have on our
results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
Transfers and Servicing –
Effective for interim and annual periods beginning after November 15, 2009,
GAAP eliminates the concept of a qualifying special purpose entity, changes the
requirements for derecognizing financial assets and requires additional
disclosures. We are currently assessing the future
impact these new standards will have on our results of operations, financial
position or cash flows.

In
February 2008, the Company entered into a factoring agreement to sell, without
recourse, certain receivables to an unrelated third party financial institution
in an effort to accelerate cash flow. Under the terms of the
factoring agreement the maximum amount of outstanding receivables at any one
time is $2.5 million. Proceeds on the transfer reflect the face value
of the account less a discount. The discount is recorded as interest
expense in the Consolidated Statement of Operations in the period of the
sale. Net funds received reduced accounts receivable outstanding
while increasing cash. Fees paid pursuant to this arrangement are
included in “Operating expenses” in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and
amounted to $156,582 for the period ended September 30, 2009. The
amounts borrowed are collateralized by the outstanding accounts receivable, and
are reflected as a reduction to accounts receivable in the accompanying
consolidated balance sheets.

The
expected life of awards granted represents the period of time that they are
expected to be outstanding. We determine the expected life based on
historical experience with similar awards, giving consideration to the
contractual terms, vesting schedules, exercise patterns and pre-vesting and
post-vesting forfeitures. We estimate the volatility of our common
stock based on the calculated historical volatility of our own common stock
using the trailing 60 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 Share Based Payments, we adjust share-based compensation for
changes to the estimate of expected equity award forfeitures based on actual
forfeiture experience.
There
were no options exercised during the period ended September 30, 2009 or

The total
fair value of shares vested during the period ended September 30, 2009 and 2008

*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 did not issue any warrants during the period ended September 30,
2009. During the period ended September 30, 2008, the Company granted
645,632 warrants to Convertible Senior Notes holders, 2,100,000 to a Convertible
Debenture holder and 800,000 to a Note holder. The Company did not
issue any compensatory warrants during the period ended September 30, 2009 and
2008.
The
purchase price of the warrants issued to Convertible Senior Note holders was
adjusted from $4.70 to $4.39 per share and approximately 79,000 additional
warrants were issued during the period 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
period ended September 30, 2008, the Company recorded non-cash expenses of
$574,426 for issuing additional warrants and the re-pricing of outstanding
warrants in accordance with the anti-dilution provision of the warrant
agreements.
In July
2009, the Company amended certain stock purchase warrants held by private
placement investors to reduce the exercise price under such warrants from $0.60
per share to approximately $0.09 per share. The warrants entitled the
holders to purchase an aggregate of up to 780,000 shares of the Company’s common
stock. Subsequently, these private placement investors
exercised all of their warrants, and the Company has accounted for the amended
warrants issued, valued at $70,486, as financing expense using the Black-Scholes
pricing model and the following assumptions: contractual term of 5 years, an
average risk-free interest rate of 1.6% a dividend yield of 0% and volatility of

NOTE
K - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Employment and Consulting
Agreements
On August
1, 2007, the Company entered into an agreement with Barry Honig, President of
GRQ Consultants, Inc. (“GRQ”). Telkonet has agreed to pay Mr. Honig 50,000
shares of common stock per month for six (6) months, to provide the Company with
transaction advisory services. As of December 31, 2007, GRQ held a
Senior Promissory Note issued by Telkonet on July 24, 2007, in the principal
amount of $1,500,000 (Note J). On February 8, 2008, this note was
repaid in full including $49,750 in accrued but unpaid interest from the
issuance date through the date of repayment.
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.
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. 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 stock portion
of the purchase price was 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
the achievement of thirty three hundred (3,300) subscribers during the three (3)
year period following the closing (as extended) a pro rata adjustment in
the number of shares will be required to support the aggregate consideration of
$5.4 million. 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. The
parties originally agreed, in the event, for any reason, the Company
materially fails to satisfy its funding obligations under the
acquisition agreement, that the former owners of MST shall be entitled
to the release of any and all consideration held in reserve. However the
parties deleted this provision in a May, 2008 agreement wherein the Company
made a minimum commitment of $2.3 million to fund MST's business plan in
accordance with Section 11.1 of the Stock Purchase Agreement between Telkonet
and Frank T. Matarazzo. In addition, the adjustment date for the
achievement of MST's 3,300 subscribers was extended an additional six
months from January 31, 2009 to July 31, 2009. In April 2008 the
Company issued from escrow 200,000 shares of the reserve shares and advanced
400,000 of such 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 M-
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The
financial assets of the Company measured at fair value on a recurring basis are
cash equivalents, and long-term marketable securities. The Company’s
cash equivalents and long term marketable securities are generally classified
within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using
quoted market prices, broker or dealer quotations, or alternative pricing
sources with reasonable levels of price transparency. The Company’s
long-term investments are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy
because they are valued using unobservable inputs, due to the fact that
observable inputs are not available, or situations in which there is little, if
any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement
date. The Company’s derivative liabilities are classified within
Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using inputs which
are not actively observable, either directly or indirectly.
•
|
Level
1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the
measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or
liabilities;
|
•
|
Level
2: Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs which are
observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term
of the asset or liability; or
|
•
|
Level
3: Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both
significant to the fair value measurement and are
unobservable.
|
The
following table sets forth the Company’s financial instruments as
of September 30, 2009 which are measured at fair value on a recurring
basis by level within the fair value hierarchy. Financial instruments are
classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair
value measurement, (in thousands):

NOTE
N – DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
On
January 31, 2006, the Company acquired a 90% interest in Microwave Satellite
Technologies, Inc. (“MST”) in exchange for $1.8 million in cash and 1.6 million
unregistered shares of the Company’s common stock. In May 2007, MST
merged with MSTI Holdings Inc. (“MSTI”) (formerly Fitness Xpress-Software Inc.)
and as a result of the merger, the Company’s common stock in MST was exchanged
for 63% of the outstanding shares of common stock of MSTI Holdings
Inc. The Company has historically consolidated its investment in MSTI
as a consolidated majority-owned subsidiary.
On
February 26, 2009, the Company executed a Stock Purchase Agreement pursuant to
which the Company sold 2.8 million shares of MSTI common stock (the “MSTI
Shares”) for an aggregate purchase price of $10,000. As a result
of this transaction, the Company beneficially owns 49% of the issued and
outstanding shares of MSTI common stock.
On April
22, 2009, Warren V. Musser and Thomas C. Lynch, members of the Company’s Board
of Directors, submitted their resignations as directors of MSTI. As a
result of these resignations, and the decrease in beneficial ownership resulting
from the transaction described above, the Company is no longer required to
consolidate MSTI as a majority- owned subsidiary and the Company’s investment in
MSTI will now be accounted for under the cost method.
On June
26, 2009, MSTI entered into an Agreement and Consent to Acceptance of Collateral
(“Agreement”) with its senior secured lenders, Alpha Capital Anstalt, Gemini
Master Fund, Ltd., Whalehaven Capital Fund Limited and Brio Capital L.P.
(“Secured Lenders”). The Secured Lenders were the senior
secured creditors of MSTI with regard to obligations in the total principal
amount of $1,893,295 (together, the “Secured Lender
Obligations”).
Under the
Agreement: (a) MSTI (i) agreed and consented to the transfer to MST
Acquisition Group LLC (the “Designee”), for the benefit of the Secured
Lenders, of all of the assets of MSTI (the “Pledged Collateral”) in full
satisfaction of the Secured Lender Obligations, and (ii) waived and released (x)
all right, title and interest it has or might have in or to the Pledged
Collateral, including any right to redemption, and (y) any claim for a surplus;
and (b) the Secured Lenders agreed to accept the Pledged Collateral in
full satisfaction of the Secured Lender Obligations and waived and released MSTI
from any further obligations with respect to the Secured Lender
Obligations.
Net
income (loss) from discontinued operations on the consolidated statement of
operations for the nine month period ended September 30, 2009 includes the gain
on deconsolidation of $6,932,586, offset by MSTI's net losses of
$(635,735) for the period January 1, 2009 through April 30, 2009, the date
of deconsolidation. The market value of the MSTI common
shares owned by the Company as of September 30, 2009 was deemed permanently
impaired by management and as a result the Company has fully written off its
investment in MSTI and has not included any value for MSTI in the balance sheet
as of September 30, 2009.

NOTE O – SUBSEQUENT
EVENTS
In
accordance with FASB ASC 855”Subsequent Events”, the Company has evaluated
subsequent events through the date of the filing (November 16,
2009)
NYSE Amex Delisting
Notice
On
November 3, 2009, Telkonet, Inc. received notice from NYSE Amex, LLC (the
"Exchange") that a Listing Qualifications Panel of the Exchange’s Committee on
Securities (the "Panel") had affirmed the Exchange’s Listing Qualifications
Department staff's determination to delist the Company's common stock from the
Exchange. The Exchange will file a delisting application with the Securities and
Exchange Commission ("SEC") to strike the Company's common stock from listing
and registration on the Exchange, when and if authorized by the SEC. The
delisting of Company’s common stock will be effective 10 days after the Exchange
files a Form 25 with the SEC. The Company does not intend to appeal, or request
a review of, the Panel's decision, and thus its common stock is expected to be
delisted from the Exchange. The Exchange suspended trading in the Company’s
stock effective at the open of business on November 13, 2009 at which time our
common stock began trading on the Over-the-Counter market's Pink Sheets under
the symbol "TKOI.PK"
The
Company will be in default of the convertible debentures if its common stock is
not quoted for listing on one of: (a) the American Stock Exchange, (b) New York
Stock Exchange, (c) the Nasdaq Global Market, (d) the Nasdaq Capital Market, or
(e) the OTC Bulletin Board (“OTCBB”) within five (5) Trading Days of the stock’s
delisting. The Company is seeking to obtain a listing on the OTCBB
however there can be no guarantee that the Company will be successful in
obtaining a listing on the OTCBB or that it will be able to obtain such a
listing within five days of the common stock’s delisting from the
Exchange.
Private
Placement
On
November 16, 2009, the Company entered into definitive agreements in connection
with a Regulation D private placement of 215 shares of the Company’s Series A
Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Series A”),
and warrants (“Warrants”) to purchase an aggregate of 1,628,800 shares of the
Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”). The
Series A shares were sold at a price per share of $5,000 and the Warrants have
an exercise price of $0.33, which is equal to the volume-weighted average price
of a share of Common Stock measured over the 30-day period immediately preceding
November 12, 2009. The Company expects to complete the private placement
transaction within the next several days and expects to receive $1,075,000 from
the sale of these Series A shares and Warrants. A portion of the proceeds to be
received by the Company will come from certain members of Company management in
connection with the conversion of a portion of outstanding indebtedness of the
Company owed to such members of management. The Company intends to
use the net proceeds from the sale of the Series A shares and the Warrants for
general working capital needs and may use the proceeds in the short term to
repay certain outstanding indebtedness, and to pay expenses of the offering as
well as other general corporate capital purposes.
Under the
terms of the private placement transaction, each Series A share is convertible
into approximately 13,774 shares of Common Stock at a conversion price of $0.363
per share, which is equal to 110% of the volume-weighted average price of a
share of Common Stock measured over the 30-day period immediately preceding
November 12, 2009. Except as specifically provided or as otherwise
required by law, the Series A shares will vote together with the Common Stock
shares on an as-if-converted basis and not as a separate class. Each
Series A share shall have a number of votes equal to the number of shares of
Common Stock then issuable upon conversion of such shares of the Series
A.
Additionally,
the Company agreed with the purchasers to file a registration statement covering
the resale of the shares of common stock to be acquired by the purchasers upon
conversion of their Series A shares following the conclusion of a rights
offering to be filed with the SEC.
Board of
Directors
Effective
November 13, 2009, Dr. Thomas M. Hall submitted his resignation as a director of
the Company.
The
Company’s Board of Directors elected Anthony J. Paoni as Chairman of the Board
to take the position previously held by Warren V. Musser effective as of
November 16, 2009.
In connection with the closing of the private placement transaction, Seth D. Blumenfeld will be resigning from the Board and Jason L. Tienor, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, will fill the vacancy created by the resignation of Seth D. Blumenfeld.

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, 2009 and 2008, 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, 2008 filed on April 1, 2009.
Business
Telkonet,
Inc., formed in 1999 and incorporated under the laws of the state of Utah, is a
“clean technology” company that develops and manufactures proprietary energy
efficiency and smart grid networking technology. The Company’s
patented Recovery Time™ energy management technology and Series 5™ power grid
networking technology are innovative clean technology products that have helped
position the Company as a leading clean technology provider.
The
Telkonet SmartEnergy™ (TSE) and Networked Telkonet SmartEnergy™ (NTSE) platforms
incorporate Recovery Time™, an energy management technology that continuously
monitors climate conditions to automatically adjust a room’s temperature to
account for the presence or absence of an occupant in an effort to save energy
while at the same time ensuring occupant comfort. This technology is
particularly attractive to our customers in the hospitality area and owners of
multi-dwelling units who are continually seeking ways to reduce costs without
impacting customer satisfaction. By reducing energy usage
automatically when a space is not being utilized, our customers can realize a
significant cost savings without diminishing occupant comfort.
Telkonet's
wholly-owned subsidiary, EthoStream, LLC, operates one of the largest
hospitality high-speed Internet access (HSIA) networks in the United
States. Although this business is successful in its own right, its
significant customer base in the hospitality industry (i.e. approximately 2,500
properties that represent over 200,000 rooms) has created an opportunity for
Telkonet to market its energy efficiency solutions more
successfully. It also provides a marketing opportunity for the
Company’s more traditional HSIA offerings, including the Telkonet iWire
System. The iWire System offers a fast and cost effective way to
deliver commercial high-speed broadband access from an IP “platform” using a
building’s existing electrical infrastructure to convert virtually every
electrical outlet into a high-speed data port without the installation of
additional wiring or major disruption of business
activity. EthoStream represents a significant portion of Telkonet's
hospitality growth and market share.
Telkonet's
Series 5 system uses powerline communications technology (PLC) to transform a
site’s existing internal electrical infrastructure into an IP network backbone.
With its powerful 200 Mbps chip, the system offers a new competitive alternative
in grid communications, enabling local area network (LAN) infrastructure for
command and control, monitoring and grid management, transforming a traditional
power management system into a “smart grid” that delivers electricity in a
manner that saves energy, reduces cost and increases reliability. The
Company’s PLC platform provides a compelling solution for substation automation,
power generation, renewable facilities, manufacturing, and research
environments, by providing a rapidly-deployed, low cost alternative to
structured cable or fiber. By leveraging the existing electrical wiring within a
facility to transport data, Telkonet’s PLC solutions enable facilities to deploy
sensing and control systems to locations without the need for new network
wiring, and without the security risks entailed with wireless.
On April
22, 2009, the Company completed the deconsolidation of MSTI Holdings, Inc.
(MSTI). To effect the deconsolidation of MSTI, the Company was
required to reduce its ownership percentage and board membership. On February
26, 2009, the Company executed a Stock Purchase Agreement pursuant to which the
Company sold 2.8 million shares of MSTI common stock and following this
transaction, the Company beneficially owns 49% of the issued and
outstanding shares of MSTI common stock. On April 22, 2009, Warren V.
Musser and Thomas C. Lynch, members of the Company’s Board of Directors,
submitted their resignations as directors of MSTI. As a result, the
majority of MSTI’s board of directors is no longer controlled by the
Company. As a result of the deconsolidation, the interim financial
statements have been revised to present the previously consolidated operations
as discontinued operations.
The
Company's headquarters is located at 20374 Seneca Meadows Parkway in Germantown,
Maryland 20876. Telkonet’s reports that are filed pursuant to the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 are posted on the Company's website:
www.telkonet.com.
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 revenue is primarily monthly subscription revenue
for support and network maintenance contracts for our broadband network
platforms. 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.

Forward Looking
Statements
This
report may contain “forward-looking statements,” which represent the Company’s
expectations or beliefs, including, but not limited to, statements concerning
industry performance and the Company’s results, operations, performance,
financial condition, plans, growth and strategies, which include, without
limitation, statements preceded or followed by or that include the words “may,”
“will,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “could,” “estimate,” or “continue” or
the negative or other variations thereof or comparable
terminology. Any statements contained in this report or the
information incorporated by reference that are not statements of historical fact
may be deemed to be forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section
27(A) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21(F) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934. For such statements, the Company claims the protection of the safe
harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements by their nature
involve substantial risks and uncertainties, some of which are beyond the
Company’s control, and actual results may differ materially depending on a
variety of important factors, including those risk factors discussed under “Risk
Factors”, many of which are also beyond the Company’s control. You
should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak
only as of the date of this report. The Company does not undertake
any obligation to update or release any revisions to these forward-looking
statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this report or
to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, except to the extent such
updates and/or revisions are required by applicable law.
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.
Revenue
Recognition
For revenue from product sales, the Company recognizes
revenue in accordance with FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification
(“ASC”) 605-10, and ASC Topic 13 guidelines that
require 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. The guidelines also address the 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.
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
25
Fair Value of Financial
Instruments
In
January 2008, the Company adopted the provisions under FASB for Fair Value
Measurements, which define fair value for accounting purposes, establishes a
framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure requirements regarding
fair value measurements. The Company’s adoption of these provisions
did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. Fair
value is defined as an exit price, which is the price that would be received
upon sale of an asset or paid upon transfer of a liability in an orderly
transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The
degree of judgment utilized in measuring the fair value of assets and
liabilities generally correlates to the level of pricing
observability. Financial assets and liabilities with readily
available, actively quoted prices or for which fair value can be measured from
actively quoted prices in active markets generally have more pricing
observability and require less judgment in measuring fair
value. Conversely, financial assets and liabilities that are rarely
traded or not quoted have less price observability and are generally measured at
fair value using valuation models that require more judgment. These
valuation techniques involve some level of management estimation and judgment,
the degree of which is dependent on the price transparency of the asset,
liability or market and the nature of the asset or liability. The
Company has categorized its financial assets and liabilities measured at fair
value into a three-level hierarchy in accordance with these
provisions.

Product
revenue
Product
revenue principally arises from the sale and installation of SmartGrid and
broadband networking equipment, including Telkonet SmartEnergy™ products,
Telkonet Series 5™ products and the Telkonet iWire System™. Telkonet
markets and sells to hospitality, education, healthcare and government
markets. The Telkonet Series 5™ and the Telkonet iWire SystemTM consist of the Telkonet
Gateways, Telkonet Extenders, the patented Telkonet Coupler, and Telkonet
iBridges. The Telkonet SmartEnergy™ product suite consists of
thermostats, sensors and controllers.
For the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, product revenue decreased by 62%
and 50%, respectively, when compared to the prior year periods, primarily due to
the prior year rollout of an energy management contract with a national hotel
operator, which accounted for 16% and 34% of product revenue for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2008. Product revenue for the three
and nine months ended September 30, 2009 includes approximately $0.9 million and
$3.6 million, respectively, attributed to the sale of energy management
products, and approximately $400,000 and $1.5 million, respectively, from the
sales of broadband networking products and services to the hospitality
market. In addition, product revenues for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2009 were down overall due to the impact of the current
economy, which has continued to cause delays in planned opportunities with new
and existing customers. Quarter over quarter revenue has decreased by
approximately 22% and management does not believe that product revenues will
significantly increase in the fourth quarter 2009 due to seasonality of the
hospitality market segment, which accounts for the majority of our near-term
revenue.
Recurring Revenue
Recurring
revenue includes approximately 2,500 hotels in our broadband network
portfolio. We currently support over 200,000 HSIA rooms, with over 2
million monthly users. For the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2009, recurring revenue increased by 10% and 17%, respectively,
when compared to the prior year periods. We anticipate growth to our
subscriber base as we deploy additional sites under contract and increase
Telkonet’s strategic franchise and group alliances through the Ethostream
brand.

Product
Costs
Product
costs include equipment and installation labor related to the sale of Telkonet
SmartEnergy™ products, Telkonet Series 5™ products and the Telkonet iWire
System™. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009,
product costs decreased by 60% and 57%, respectively, when compared to the prior
year periods, primarily in connection with the decreased sales in the
current year periods. However, product costs increased as
a percentage of revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2009, when
compared to the prior year period because of increased contract labor
costs. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, product revenue
decreased as a percentage of revenue when compared to the prior year periods,
which reflects the consolidation of operations in the Milwaukee, WI operations
center.
Recurring
Costs
For the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, recurring costs decreased by 16%
and 25%, respectively, when compared to the prior year periods, primarily due to
the increase in efficiency in providing support services to EthoStream’s
customers through the Milwaukee, WI operations center.

During
the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, operating expenses decreased
by 27% and 38%, respectively, when compared to the prior year
periods. This decrease is primarily related to the overall reduction
in operating expenses beginning in 2008 in connection with the corporate
restructuring, and the reduction of research and development and overhead
staffing at the corporate headquarters office. We do not anticipate
any significant changes to operating expenses for the remainder of
2009.

Telkonet’s
research and development costs related to both present and future products are
expensed in the period incurred. Total expenses decreased for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2009 by approximately $246,000, or 48%, and $905,000,
or 54%, respectively. The Research and Development costs are
associated with the development of the Telkonet Series 5™ product suite and the
integration of new applications to the Telkonet iWire System™, and the
development of next generation Telkonet SmartEnergy™ (TSE) and Networked
Telkonet SmartEnergy™ (NTSE) products. The Company expects to maintain the
current cost structure for research and development in 2009.

During
the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, selling, general and
administrative expenses decreased over the comparable prior year periods by
approximately 18% and 30%, respectively. This decrease when compared
to the prior year periods is primarily the result of the efficiencies
in the organization resulting in reduced salary and related costs by $200,000
and $989,000, respectively, as well as other significant reductions in sales and
marketing expenses of $183,000 and $635,000, respectively, professional fees of
$3,800 and $231,000, office expenses of $31,000 and $126,000, and travel costs
of $81,000 and $236,000. We do not expect to significantly increase
our selling, general and administrative expenses in 2009, except as necessary to
meet future growth opportunities.
Discontinued
Operations
We had
net income from discontinued operations of $6,296,851, or $0.07 per share, for
the nine months ended September 30, 2009, compared to net loss from discontinued
operations of $(3,412,656), or $(0.04) per share, for the nine months ended
September 30, 2008. Net income from discontinued operations for the nine
months ended September 30, 2009 includes the gain on deconsolidation of
$6,932,586, offset by MSTI's net loss of $635,735 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2009.
Backlog
The
Telkonet Segment maintains contracts and monthly services for approximately
2,500 hotels which are expected to generate approximately $3,600,000 annual
recurring support and internet advertising revenue.

Liquidity and Capital
Resources
Working
Capital
Our
working capital decreased by $1,060,900 during the nine months ended September
30, 2009 from a working capital deficit of $2,439,988 at December 31, 2008 to a
working capital deficit of $3,500,889 at September 30, 2009, excluding working
capital attributed to discontinued operations. The decrease in
working capital for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 is due to a
combination of factors, of which the significant factors include:
● |
Advances
to our former subsidiary of approximately $305,000;.
|
|
● |
Net
repayments on our line of credit of approximately $124,000;
and
|
|
● |
Working
capital decreases related to our loss from continuing
operations.

Business
Loan
On
September 11, 2009, the Company entered into a Loan Agreement in the
aggregate principal amount of $300,000 with the Wisconsin Department of Commerce
(the “Department”). The outstanding principal balance bears interest
at the annual rate of two (2.00) percent. Payment of interest and principal is
to be made in the following manner: (a) payment of any and all
interest that accrues from the date of disbursement commences on January 1, 2010
and continues on the first day of each consecutive month thereafter through and
including December 31, 2010; (b) commencing on January 1, 2011 and continuing on
the first day of each consecutive month thereafter through and including
November 1, 2016, the Company shall pay equal monthly installments of $4,426
each; followed by a final installment on December 1, 2016 which shall include
all remaining principal, accrued interest and other amounts owed by the Company
to the Department under the Loan Agreement. The Company may prepay
amounts outstanding under the credit facility in whole or in part at any time
without penalty. The credit facility is secured by the Company’s
assets and the proceeds from this loan will be used for the working capital
requirements of the Company. The outstanding borrowing under the
agreement at September 30, 2009 was $300,000.
Line
of Credit
In
September 2008, the Company entered into a two-year line of credit facility with
a third party financial institution. The line of credit has an
aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000 and is secured by the Company’s
inventory. The outstanding principal balance bears interest at the
greater of (i) the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate plus nine (9%) percent per
annum, adjusted on the date of any change in such prime or base rate, or (ii)
sixteen percent (16%). Interest, computed on a 365/360 simple
interest basis, and fees on the credit facility are payable monthly in arrears
on the last day of each month and continuing on the last day of each month until
the maturity date. The Company may prepay amounts outstanding under
the credit facility in whole or in part at any time. In the event of
such prepayment, the lender will be entitled to receive a prepayment fee of four
percent (4.0%) of the highest aggregate loan commitment amount if prepayment
occurs before the end of the first year and three percent (3.0%) if prepayment
occurs thereafter. The outstanding borrowing under the agreement at
September 30, 2009 was $449,741. The Company has incurred interest
expense of $103,881 related to the line of credit for the nine months ended
September 30, 2009. The Prime Rate was 3.25% at September 30,
2009.
On
November 11, 2009, the Company received a notice of waiver of the “minimum cash
flow to debt service ratio” and the “tangible net worth” requirements under the
line of credit facility, as such terms are defined in items D(10)a and D(10)b,
respectively, of the line of credit agreement. The waiver is in
effect as of September 30, 2009 and continues for the 90 day period
thereafter.
31
Convertible
Debenture
On May
30, 2008, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with YA
Global Investments, L.P. pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell
to YA Global 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. 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. YA Global 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 YA Global to purchase shares of the
Company’s Common Stock at a price per share of $0.61.
On
February 20, 2009, the Company and YA Global entered into an Agreement
of Clarification pursuant to which the parties agreed that interest accrued as
of December 31, 2008, in the amount of $191,887 shall be added to the principal
amount outstanding under the Debentures and that each Debenture be amended to
reflect the applicable increase in principal amount.
On May 28, 2009, the Company’s shareholders voted
against a proposal to remove the Exchange Cap, to allow YA Global to potentially
acquiring in excess of 19.99% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s
common stock, as of May 30, 2008, upon conversion of debentures and/or the
exercise of warrants, pursuant to NYSE Amex LLC regulations. In the
Agreement of Clarification, the Company
agreed to seek approval of the share issuance at the 2009 annual meeting
of stockholders, which was held on May 28, 2009. On May 12, 2009, YA
Global met the Exchange Cap for the conversion of its debentures, and cannot
receive additional shares of the Company’s common stock for the conversion of
debentures or exercise of warrants, under NYSE Amex rules.
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.
Acquisition
of Microwave Satellite Technologies, Inc. (MSTI)
On
January 31, 2006, the Company acquired a 90% interest in MSTI from Frank
Matarazzo, the sole stockholder of MSTI 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 reserve
shares, which shall be issued based on the achievement of 3,300 video and
data subscribers over a three year period from the closing (later extended
to July 2009 pursuant to a May 2008 agreement between the parties).
As of August 14, 2009, the Company has issued 800,000 shares of the reserve
shares. The escrow agreement terminated on July 31,
2009.
32
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.
Proceeds
from the issuance of common stock
During
the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Company received $71,526 from the
exercise of investor stock purchase warrants.
Cashflow
analysis
Cash used
in continuing operations was $72,506 during the nine months ended September 30,
2009 compared to cash used in continuing operations of $3,233,366 during the
prior year period. For the remainder of the year ended December 31,
2009, 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, and reducing our trade
payables.
The
Company utilized cash for investing activities from continuing operations of
$275,085 and $14,375 during the nine months ended September 30, 2009, and 2008,
respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, these
activities involved intercompany loans to MSTI of approximately $305,000, which
was partially offset by the sale of the Company’s remaining investment in
Multiband for proceeds of $33,129. During the nine months ended September
30, 2008, these expenditures were primarily due to the purchase of computer and
related equipment.
The
Company had cash from financing activities from continuing operations of
$217,548 and $3,567,809 during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and
2008, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2009,
cash from financing activities was provided by a $300,000 business loan from the
Wisconsin Department of Commerce, which was partially offset by net cash used of
$124,000 for the repayment of our working capital line of credit used for
inventory purchases, and $25,000 for the payment of financing costs related to
the accounts receivable factoring program. During the nine months
ended September 30, 2008, 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 2008 and July 2008, and the
Company received a $400,000 loan from a board member, which was offset by
$462,511 in financing costs.
We have
reduced cash required for operations by reducing operating costs and reducing
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.
33
Our
registered independent certified public accountants have stated in their report
dated April 1, 2009, 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.
Management
expects that global economic conditions will continue to present a challenging
operating environment for at least the rest of the year. To the extent
permitted by working capital resources, management intends to continue making
targeted investments in strategic operating and growth initiatives.
Working capital management will continue to be a high priority for the remainder
of 2009.
While the
Company has been able to manage its working capital needs with the current
credit facilities, additional financing is required in order to meet its current
and projected cash flow requirements from operations. Additional
investments are being sought, but we cannot guarantee that we will be able to
obtain such investments. 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. 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.
In
addition to working capital, a portion of the proceeds from a new financing will
be used to retire the Company’s current convertible debenture and inventory line
of credit facilities. The Company cannot predict whether
this new financing will be in the form of equity or debt. The
Company may not be able to obtain the necessary additional capital on
a timely basis, on acceptable terms, or at all, in
which, case the Company may be unable to implement its current plans to
retire the convertible debenture and line of credit facilities. Each of
the convertible debenture and line of credit facilities contain provisions for
the payment of a pre-payment fee in connection with a prepayment. The line
of credit facility provides for a prepayment fee of four percent (4.0%) of the
highest aggregate loan commitment amount if prepayment occurs before the end of
the first year and three percent (3.0%) if prepayment occurs after the end of
the first year. The convertible debenture provides for a prepayment fee
equal to 15% of the principal amount of the Debentures being redeemed. It
is the Company’s intention to negotiate its obligation to pay such fees and/or
the reduction of such fees. However, there can be no guarantee that it
will be successful in achieving such a reduction.
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.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The
Company does not maintain off-balance sheet arrangements nor does it participate
in any non-exchange traded contracts requiring fair value accounting
treatment.
Acquisition or Disposition
of Property and Equipment
During
the nine months ended September 30, 2009, fixed assets and cost of equipment
under operating leases decreased by $3,925, primarily from the transfer and
disposal of computer equipment and peripherals used in day-to-day operations,
net of equipment purchases. The Company does not anticipate the sale
or purchase of any significant property, plant or equipment during the next
twelve months, other than computer equipment and peripherals to be used in the
Company’s day-to-day operations.
34
The
Company presently leases 16,400 square feet of commercial office space in
Germantown, Maryland for its corporate headquarters. The Germantown lease
expires in December 2015. We are currently actively pursuing a
sublease for all or a portion of this office space for the remaining term of the
lease.
The
Company presently leases approximately 12,000 square feet of office space in
Milwaukee, WI for the Company’s operations center. The Milwaukee
lease expires in February 2019.
Number of
Employees
As of
November 1, 2009, the Company had 88 full time employees.
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 period ended
September 30, 2009. 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 gains on the sale of
one investment resulted in a gain of $32,750 recorded for the period ended
September 30, 2009 and unrealized losses of $1,558,204 were recorded for the
period ended September 30, 2008. 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. Realized losses of $29,371
and $367,653 were recorded for the sale of the Company’s investment in
Multiband, and the write-off of the remaining investment in Geeks on Call
America, Inc. There were no realized gains or losses for the period
ended September 30, 2008.
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, 2009 was $8,000 and recorded in other assets in the Consolidated
Balance Sheet.
Item
4. Controls and Procedures.
As of
September 30, 2009, 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 on that
evaluation and due to the lack of segregation of duties and failure to implement
accounting controls of acquired businesses, our principal executive officer and
principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and
procedures were ineffective as of the end of the period covered by this
report. During the period ended September 30, 2009, 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.
On April
29, 2009, the Company was named a defendant in a lawsuit brought against the
Company by Ronald Pickett, the Company’s former CEO, in the Circuit Court for
Montgomery County, Maryland. The complaint alleges that the Company failed
to make certain agreed upon severance payments to Mr. Pickett and failed to
reimburse Mr. Pickett for his cellular phone bills and high speed internet
access during the severance period. The complaint further alleges
that the Company failed to pay certain travel expenses from Air Wilmington of
approximately $40,000 that the Company had previously agreed to pay on Mr.
Pickett’s behalf. Mr. Pickett is seeking a judgment for $294,000 plus
interest, costs and attorneys fees. Additionally, Mr. Pickett makes a
claim for treble damages under the Maryland Wage Payment and Collection
Act. The Company intends to vigorously defend against this
claim.
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, 2009, the Company has incurred cumulative losses
of $(110,639,175) 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 $12.7 million at September 30, 2009 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.
36
Our
independent auditors have expressed substantial doubt about our ability to
continue as a going concern, which may hinder our ability to obtain future
financing.
In their
report dated April 1, 2009, our independent auditors stated that our financial
statements for the year ended December 31, 2008 were prepared assuming that we
would continue as a going concern, and that they have substantial doubt about
our ability to continue as a going concern. Our auditors’ doubts are
based on our net losses and deficits in cash flows from
operations. We continue to experience net operating
losses. Our ability to continue as a going concern is subject to our
ability to generate a profit and/or obtain necessary funding from outside
sources, including by the sale of our securities, or obtaining loans from
financial institutions, where possible. Our continued net operating
losses and our auditors’ doubts increase the difficulty of our meeting such
goals. If we are not successful in raising sufficient additional
capital, we may not be able to continue as a going concern and our stockholders
may lose their entire investment.
Following
delisting from NYSE Amex LLC (the “Exchange”), our common stock will be listed
for trading on the Over-the-counter Bulletin Board.
On May
18, 2009, we received a letter from the Exchange notifying us that we are out of
compliance with the Exchange’s continued listing standards related to the
impairment of our existing financial condition. In the opinion of the Exchange,
our historical losses in relation to our overall operations and existing
financial resources has caused our financial condition to become so impaired
that it appears questionable as to whether we are able to continue operations
and/or meet our obligations as they mature. On June 25, 2009 we
submitted a plan to the Exchange advising of the actions we had taken, and
planned to take, that would bring us into compliance with the applicable listing
standards within the six month cure period. On August 27, 2009, we
were notified of the Exchange’s intention to delist our common stock because our
plan did not reasonably demonstrate the ability to regain compliance with the
continued listing standards of the Exchange. On November 3, 2009, the
Company received notice from the Exchange informing it that the Hearing Panel
had confirmed the Staff's recommendation that the Company's common stock be
delisted from the Exchange. After considering the costs to the
Company of compliance with the continued listing requirements of the Exchange
and other factors, the Company determined that it was not in the best interests
of the Company and its shareholders to appeal the delisting of the Company’s
securities from the Exchange and approved the voluntary delisting of the
securities. The Company intends to promptly file a Form 25 with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and anticipates that the delisting
will be effective 10 days after the date of filing of the Form 25. Upon
delisting from the Exchange, the Company intends to have its common stock quoted
on the OTC Bulletin Board (“OTCBB”). This could adversely affect the
market price and liquidity of our common stock, which would make it more
difficult for us to raise additional capital.
