(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.

General

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Telkonet, Inc. (the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with Rule S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  However, the results from operations for the three month period ended March 31, 2011, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2011.  The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated December 31, 2010 financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Form 10-K filed with the SEC.

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, manufactures and sells 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 internal electrical wiring.

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 enabled Telkonet to provide installation and support for PLC products and third party applications to customers across North America.

In March 2011, the Company sold all its Series 5 PLC product line assets to Wisconsin-based Dynamic Ratings, Inc. under an Asset Purchase Agreeement.

The 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 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 net income from continuing operations of $982,478 for the three month period ended March 31, 2011, accumulated deficit of $114,530,874 and total current liabilities in excess of current assets of $1,872,115 as of March 31, 2011.
   
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 financing in addition to the funds received from the sale of the Series 5 product line 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 review the options for raising capital including, but not limited to, through asset-based financing, private placements, and/or disposition.  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.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2011

(UNAUDITED)

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

In January 2008, we adopted the provisions under FASB for Fair Value Measurements, which defines fair value for accounting purposes, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure requirements regarding fair value measurements.  Our adoption of these provisions did not have a material impact on our 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.  We have categorized our financial assets and liabilities that are recurring, at fair value into a three-level hierarchy in accordance with these provisions.

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.  We utilize 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, we perform the second step to measure the amount of impairment loss.  Any impairment loss is measured by comparing the implied fair value of goodwill 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.

Long-Lived Assets

We review long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable in accordance with ASC 360-10 (formerly Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets). Recoverability is measured by comparison of the carrying amount to the future net cash flows which the assets are expected to generate.  If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the projected discounted future cash flows arising from the asset using a discount rate determined by management to be commensurate with the risk inherent to our current business model.

Net Income (Loss) per Common Share
 
The Company computes earnings per share under Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 260-10, Earnings Per Share (“ASC 260-10”).  Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock.  Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common and common stock equivalent shares outstanding during the period. There is no effect on diluted loss per share since the common stock equivalents are anti-dilutive. Dilutive common stock equivalents consist of shares issuable upon conversion of convertible notes and the exercise of the Company's stock options and warrants.

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.

For revenue from product sales, we recognize revenue in accordance with FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification, or 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 that an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred; (3) the selling price is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectability 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 collectability 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.  We defer any revenue for which the product has not been delivered or is subject to refund until such time that we 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.

Stock Based Compensation

We account for our stock based awards in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 718-10, Compensation (“ASC 718-10”), which requires a fair value measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to our employees and directors, including employee stock options and restricted stock awards. We estimate the fair value of stock options granted using the Black-Scholes valuation model. This model requires us to make estimates and assumptions including, among other things, estimates regarding the length of time an employee will retain vested stock options before exercising them, the estimated volatility of our common stock price and the number of options that will be forfeited prior to vesting. The fair value is then amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods of the awards, which is generally the vesting period. Changes in these estimates and assumptions can materially affect the determination of the fair value of stock-based compensation and consequently, the related amount recognized in our consolidated statements of operations.
 
The expected term of the options represents the estimated period of time until exercise and is based on historical experience of similar awards, giving consideration to the contractual terms, vesting schedules and expectations of future employee behavior. For 2011 and prior years, expected stock price volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock for the related vesting periods.
 
Stock-based compensation expense in connection with options granted to employees for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 was $7,994 and $46,780, respectively.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made in prior year's financial statements to conform to classifications used in the current year.

NOTE B – NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
 
ASU No. 2010-11 was issued in March 2010, and clarifies that the transfer of credit risk that is only in the form of subordination of one financial instrument to another is an embedded derivative feature that should not be subject to potential bifurcation and separate accounting.  This ASU will be effective for the first fiscal quarter beginning after June 15, 2010, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the provisions of ASU 2010-11 to have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

In April 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2010-12. “Income Taxes” (Topic 740). In April 2010, the FASB (Financial Accounting Standards Board) issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-12 (ASU 2010-12), Income Taxes (Topic 740): Accounting for Certain Tax Effects of the 2010 Health Care Reform Acts. After consultation with the FASB, the SEC stated that it “would not object to a registrant incorporating the effects of the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 when accounting for the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act”. The Company does not expect the provisions of ASU 2010-12 to have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

ASU No. 2010-13 was issued in April 2010, and will clarify the classification of an employee share based payment award with an exercise price denominated in the currency of a market in which the underlying security trades. This ASU will be effective for the first fiscal quarter beginning after December 15, 2010, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the provisions of ASU 2010-13 to have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

In April 2010, the FASB (Financial Accounting Standards Board) issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-17 (ASU 2010-17), Revenue Recognition-Milestone Method (Topic 605): Milestone Method of Revenue Recognition. The amendments in this Update are effective on a prospective basis for milestones achieved in fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. If a vendor elects early adoption and the period of adoption is not the beginning of the entity’s fiscal year, the entity should apply the amendments retrospectively from the beginning of the year of adoption. The Company does not expect the provisions of ASU 2010-17 to have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

There were various other updates recently issued, most of which represented technical corrections to the accounting literature or application to specific industries and are not expected to a have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

The Company does not amortize goodwill. The Company recorded goodwill in the amount of $14,670,446 as a result of the acquisitions of EthoStream and SSI during the year ended December 31, 2007. The Company evaluates goodwill for impairment based on the fair value of the operating business units to which this goodwill relates at least once a year. The Company generally determines the fair value of a reporting unit using a combination of the income approach, which is based on the present value of estimated future cash flows, and the market approach, which compares the business unit's multiples to its competitors. At December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company had determined that a portion of the value of EthoStream’s goodwill has been impaired based upon management’s assessment of operating results and forecasted discounted cash flow and has written off a total of $3,000,000 of its value.

On March 4, 2011, the Company sold its Series 5 Power Line Carrier product line and related business assets to Dynamic Ratings (“Dynamic Ratings”).  The purchase price was $1,000,000 in cash.  In connection with the sale Dynamic Ratings lent $700,000 in the form of a 6% promissory note dated March 4, 2011. The Company used the proceeds received to retire substantially all of its obligations under its $1.6 million senior convertible debenture due May 29, 2011 and to cancel the related warrants covering 11.7 million shares of the Company’s common stock.  In exchange for the early retirement of debt and cancellation of warrants, the Company provided the lender with an unsecured one-year promissory note for $50,000 (Promissory Note#2).

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 were used for the working capital requirements of the Company.  The outstanding borrowing under the agreement at March 31, 2011 was $288,202.

Promissory Note #1

On March 4, 2011, the Company sold all its Series 5 PLC product line assets to Wisconsin-based Dynamic Ratings, Inc. (“Purchaser”) under an Asset Purchase Agreement (“APA”).  Per the APA, the Company signed a Promissory Note (“Note #1”) due to Purchaser in the aggregate principal amount of $700,000. The outstanding principal balance bears interest at the annual rate of six (6) percent and is due on March 31, 2014.   Note #1 may be prepaid in whole or in part, without penalty at any time, however scheduled payments are due on June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2013.  Payments shall be applied first to accrued but unpaid interest and then to principal.  Note #1 contains certain earn-out provisions that encompass both the Company’s and Purchaser’s revenue volumes.  Provided these provisions are met, the Company could potentially retire Note #1 prior to its expiration date.  Payments not made when due, by maturity acceleration or otherwise, shall bear interest at the rate of 12% per annum from the date due until fully paid.

NOTE F – REDEEMABLE PREFERRED STOCK

Series A

The Company has designated 215 shares of preferred stock as Series A Preferred Stock (“Series A”). Each share of Series A shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time, into shares of our Common Stock at an initial conversion price of $0.363 per share, subject to adjustments for anti-dilution provisions.  In the event of a change of control (as defined in the purchase agreement with respect to the Series A), or at the holder’s option, on November 19, 2014 and for a period of 180 days thereafter, provided that at least fifty percent (50%) of the shares of Series A issued on the Series A Original Issue Date remain outstanding as of November 19, 2014, and the holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series A provide written notice requesting redemption of all shares of Series A, we are required to redeem the Series A for the purchase price plus any accrued but unpaid dividends. The Series A accrues dividends at an annual rate of 8% of the original purchase price, and shall be payable only when, as, and if declared by our Board of Directors.

On November 16, 2009, the Company sold 215 shares of Series A with attached warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,628,800 shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.33 per share.  The Series A shares were sold at a price per share of $5,000 and each Series A share is convertible into approximately 13,774 shares of common stock at a conversion price of $0.363 per share. The Company received $1,075,000 from the sale of the Series A shares.  Since the Series A shares may ultimately be redeemable at the option of the holder, the carrying value of the Series A shares, net of discount and accumulated dividends, has been classified as Commitments and Contingencies on the balance sheet at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

In accordance with ASC 470 Topic “Debt, a portion of the proceeds were allocated to the warrants based on their relative fair value, which totaled $287,106 using the Black Scholes option pricing model. Further, the Company attributed a beneficial conversion feature of $70,922 to the Series A shares based upon the difference between the effective conversion price of those shares and the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of issuance. The assumptions used in the Black-Scholes model are as follows:  (1) dividend yield of 0%, (2) expected volatility of 123%, (3) weighted average risk-free interest rate of 2.2%, (4) expected life of 5 years, and (5) estimated fair value of Telkonet common stock of $0.24 per share. The expected term of the warrants represents the estimated period of time until exercise and is based on historical experience of similar awards and giving consideration to the contractual terms. The amounts attributable to the warrants and beneficial conversion feature, aggregating $358,028, have been recorded as a discount and deducted from the face value of the Series A shares. Since the Series A is classified as Commitments and Contingencies, the discount will be amortized over the period from issuance to November 19, 2014 (the initial redemption date) as a charge to additional paid-in capital (since there is a deficit in retained earnings).

The charge to additional paid in capital for amortization of Series A discount and costs for the period ended March 31, 2011 was $17,901.  

For the three months ended March 31, 2011 we have accrued dividends for Series A shares in the amount of $21,212 and cumulative accrued dividends of $117,144. The accrued dividends have been charged to additional paid-in capital (since there is a deficit in retained earnings) and the net unpaid accrued dividends been added to the carrying value of the Series A shares.

Series B

The Company has designated 267 shares of preferred stock as Series B Preferred Stock (“Series B”). Each share of Series B shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time, into shares of our Common Stock at an initial conversion price of $0.13 per share, subject to adjustments for anti-dilution provisions.  In the event of a change of control (as defined in the purchase agreement with respect to the Series B), or at the holder’s option, on August 4, 2015 and for a period of 180 days thereafter, provided that at least fifty percent (50%) of the shares of Series B issued on the Series B Original Issue Date remain outstanding as of August 4, 2015, and the holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series B provide written notice requesting redemption of all shares of Series B, we are required to redeem the Series B for the purchase price plus any accrued but unpaid dividends. The Series B accrues dividends at an annual rate of 8% of the original purchase price, and shall be payable only when, as, and if declared by our Board of Directors.

On August 4, 2010, the Company sold 267 shares of Series B with attached warrants to purchase an aggregate of 10,269,219 shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.13 per share.  The Series B shares were sold at a price per share of $5,000 and each Series B share is convertible into approximately 38,461 shares of common stock at a conversion price of $0.13 per share. The Company received $1,335,000 from the sale of the Series B shares.  Since the Series B shares may ultimately be redeemable at the option of the holder, the carrying value of the Series B shares, net of discount and accumulated dividends, has been classified as Commitments and Contingencies on the balance sheet at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

In accordance with ASC 470 Topic “Debt, a portion of the proceeds were allocated to the warrants based on their relative fair value, which totaled $394,350 using the Black Scholes option pricing model. Further, the Company attributed a beneficial conversion feature of $394,350 to the Series B shares based upon the difference between the effective conversion price of those shares and the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of issuance. The assumptions used in the Black-Scholes model are as follows:  (1) dividend yield of 0%; (2) expected volatility of 123%, (3) weighted average risk-free interest rate of 1.76%, (4) expected life of 5 years, and (5) estimated fair value of Telkonet common stock of $0.109 per share. The expected term of the warrants represents the estimated period of time until exercise and is based on historical experience of similar awards and giving consideration to the contractual terms. The amounts attributable to the warrants and beneficial conversion feature, aggregating $788,700, have been recorded as a discount and deducted from the face value of the Series B shares. Since the Series B is classified as Commitments and Contingencies, the discount will be amortized over the period from issuance to August 4, 2015 (the initial redemption date) as a charge to additional paid-in capital (since there is a deficit in retained earnings).

The charge to additional paid in capital for amortization of Series B discount and costs for the period ended March 31, 2011 was $39,436.  

For the three months ended March 31, 2011 we have accrued dividends for Series B in the amount of $26,348 and cumulative accrued dividends of $69,385. The accrued dividends have been charged to additional paid-in capital (since there is a deficit in retained earnings) and the net unpaid accrued dividends been added to the carrying value of the preferred stock.

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 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 ASC 718-10, we adjust share-based compensation for changes to the estimate of expected equity award forfeitures based on actual forfeiture experience.

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.

Tellabs, Inc. v. Telkonet, Inc.

Our landlord filed a claim for unpaid rent in a case styled Tellabs, Inc. v. Telkonet, Inc. in the Circuit Court for Montgomery County, State of Maryland and was granted a judgment in March 2010 in the amount of $64,966. Pursuant to that judgment, we received a notice of eviction from our landlord for the unpaid rent. We sought to extend the date for eviction but were unable to negotiate a payment plan acceptable to the landlord and voluntarily vacated the space on May 3, 2010.  Our landlord filed an additional claim for unpaid rent and other expenses alleged to be due in a case styled Tellabs, Inc. v. Telkonet, Inc. in the Circuit Court for Montgomery County, State of Maryland.  A settlement of $110,000 was agreed upon and the suit was dismissed on January 28, 2011.

Linksmart Wireless Technology, LLC v. T-Mobile USA, Inc.

On July 1, 2008, Linksmart Wireless Technology, LLC, or Linksmart, filed a civil lawsuit in the Eastern District of Texas against EthoStream, LLC, our wholly-owned subsidiary and 22 other defendants (Linksmart Wireless Technology, LLC v. T-Mobile USA, Inc., et al, U.S. District Court, for the Eastern District of Texas, Marshall Division, No.2:08-cv-00264-TJW-CE).  This lawsuit alleges that the defendants’ services infringe a wireless network security patent held by Linksmart. Linksmart seeks a permanent injunction enjoining the defendants from infringing, inducing the infringement of, or contributing to the infringement of its patent, an award of damages and attorney’s fees.

On August 1, 2008, we timely filed an answer to the complaint denying the allegations. On February 27, 2009, the USPTO granted a reexamination request with respect to the patent in issue in this lawsuit.  Based upon four highly relevant and material prior art references that had not been considered by the USPTO in its initial examination, it found a “substantial new question of patentability” affecting all claims of the patent in suit.  On August 2, 2010 the USPTO issued a Final Office Action rejecting every claim of the patent in suit.  If this action is upheld on appeal it will result in the elimination of all of the issues in the pending litigation. There is a possibility that the claims of the patent will be reinstated on appeal either in their original form or as amended.  

Defendant Ramada Worldwide, Inc. provided us with notice of the suit and demanded that we defend and indemnify it pursuant to a vendor direct supplier agreement between EthoStream and WWC Supplier Services, Inc., a Ramada affiliate (wherein we agreed to indemnify, defend and hold Ramada harmless from and against claims of infringement).  After a review of that agreement, it was determined that EthoStream owes the duty to defend and indemnify with respect to services provided by Telkonet to Ramada and it has assumed Ramada’s defense.  An answer on Ramada’s behalf was filed in U.S. District Court, for the Eastern District of Texas, Marshall Division on September 19, 2008.

On September 1, 2010, the court entered a 60 day stay at the plaintiff’s request. On September 15, 2010 we, along with other defendants, filed a motion seeking a stay of the litigation pending the conclusion of the reexamination proceeding. Subject to certain conditions, Linksmart agreed to entry of a stay. The court granted the defendants’ motion on October 26, 2010 and, subject to the agreed upon conditions, the matter is now stayed pending conclusion of the reexamination, including all appeals. A mandatory mediation was held in October, 2010 which did not achieve any results.  As of March 31, 2011, the case continued to be in stay pending a dismissal or appeal.  Because of the above, the Company is unable to estimate potential damages.

NOTE L- 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 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 and convertible debentures are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using inputs which are not actively observable, either directly or indirectly.

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 March 31, 2011 and 2010, 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, 2010 filed on March 30, 2011.

Business

Telkonet, Inc., formed in 1999 and incorporated under the laws of the state of Utah, is a Clean Technology company that designs, develops and markets proprietary energy efficiency and smart grid networking products and services.  Our SmartEnergy, EcoSmart and Series 5 SmartGrid networking technologies enable us to provide innovative clean technology solutions and have helped position Telkonet as a leading Clean Technology provider.
 
Our Telkonet SmartEnergy, Networked Telkonet SmartEnergy and EcoSmart energy efficiency products incorporate our patented Recovery Time™ technology, providing continuous monitoring of climate and environmental conditions to dynamically adjust a room’s temperature, accounting for the occupancy of the room.  Our SmartEnergy and EcoSmart platforms maximize energy savings while at the same time ensuring occupant comfort and extending equipment life expectancy.  This technology is particularly attractive to customers in the hospitality industry, as well as the education, healthcare and government/military markets, who are continually seeking ways to reduce costs and meet federal and state mandates without impacting building occupant comfort.  By reducing energy consumption automatically when a space is unoccupied, our customers can realize significant cost savings without diminishing occupant comfort.  This technology may also be integrated with property management systems and building automation systems and used in load shedding initiatives.  This feature provides management companies and utilities enhanced opportunity for cost savings, environmental awareness and energy management.  Telkonet’s energy management systems are lowering heating, ventilation and air conditioning, or HVAC, costs in hundreds of thousands of rooms worldwide and qualify for state and federal energy efficiency and rebate programs.
 
The Series 5 SmartGrid networking technology allows commercial, industrial and consumer users to connect computers to a communications network using the existing low voltage electrical grid. The Series 5 SmartGrid networking technology uses powerline communications, or PLC, technology to transform existing electrical infrastructure into a communications backbone.  Operating at 200 Mbps, the PLC platform offers a secure alternative in grid communications, transforming a traditional electrical distribution system into a “smart grid” that delivers electricity in a manner that can save energy, reduce cost and increase reliability.
 
On March 4, 2011, the Company sold its Series 5 Power Line Carrier product line and related business assets to Dynamic Ratings (“Dynamic Ratings”).  The purchase price was $1,000,000 in cash.  In connection with the sale Dynamic Ratings lent $700,000 in the form of a 6% promissory note dated March 4, 2011.  Concurrently with the sale, the Company entered into a Distributorship Agreement and a Consulting Agreement with Dynamic Ratings.  Under the Distributorship Agreement, the Company was designated as a distributor of the Series 5 product to the non-utility sector and will receive preferred pricing for purchases of Series 5 product.  Under the Consulting Agreement, the Company agreed to provide Dynamic Ratings with ongoing transition assistance and consulting services for the Series 5 product.  The Distributorship Agreement and the Consulting Agreement have initial terms that expire on March 31, 2013 and March 31, 2014, respectively.  Proceeds payable to the Company under the Distributorship Agreement and the Consulting Agreement will be applied to pay the balance of the Promissory Note. 
 
Telkonet’s EthoStream Hospitality Network is now one of the largest high speed internet access (HSIA) solution providers in the world, with a customer base of more than 2,251 properties representing approximately 207,000 hotel rooms.  This network provides Telkonet with the opportunity to market our energy efficiency solutions.  In addition, more than 3.5 million users access the Internet monthly via the EthoStream Hospitality Network providing Telkonet with a growing captive audience for promotional relationships.  The EthoStream Hospitality Network is backed by a 24/7 U.S.-based in-house support center that uses integrated, web-based management tools enabling proactive customer support.
 
We employ direct and indirect sales channels in all areas of our business.  With a growing Value-Added Reseller (VAR) network, we continue to broaden our reach throughout the industry.  Utilizing key integrators and strategic partners, we’ve been able to increase penetration in each of our targeted markets.  The impact of this effort is a growing percentage of Telkonet’s business is driven by our indirect sales channels.
 
Our direct sales efforts target the hospitality, education, commercial, utility and government/military markets.  Taking advantage of legislation, including the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007, or EISA, and the Energy Policy Act of 2005, we’ve focused our sales efforts in areas with available public funding and incentives, such as rebate programs offered by utilities for efficiency upgrades.  Through our proprietary platform, technology and partnerships with energy efficiency providers, we intend to position our company as a leading provider of energy management solutions.

Forward Looking Statements
In accordance with the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, we can obtain a “safe-harbor” for forward-looking statements by identifying those statements and by accompanying those statements with cautionary statements which identify factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements.  Accordingly, the following “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” may contain certain forward-looking statements regarding strategic growth initiatives, growth opportunities and management’s expectations regarding orders and financial results for 2010 and future periods.  These forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and current assumptions which management believes are reasonable.  However, these statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from any future results encompassed within the forward-looking statements.  Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include those risks affecting the Company’s business as described in the Company’s filings with the SEC, including the Company’s 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K and later filed quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K, which factors are incorporated herein by reference.  The Company expressly disclaims a duty to provide updates to forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or other occurrences.
 
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, we recognize revenue in accordance with FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification, or 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) collectability 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 collectability 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.  We defer any revenue for which the product has not been delivered or is subject to refund until such time that we 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.
    
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 SmartEnergy, SmartGrid and High Speed Internet Access   equipment.  These include TSE, Telkonet Series 5, Telkonet iWire, and wireless networking products.  We market and sell to the hospitality, education, healthcare and government/military markets.  The Telkonet Series 5 and the Telkonet iWire products consist of the Telkonet Gateways, Telkonet Extenders, the patented Telkonet Coupler, and Telkonet iBridges.  The SmartEnergy product suite consists of thermostats, sensors, controllers, wireless networking products and a control platform.  The HSIA product suite consists of gateway servers, switches and access points.

For the three months ended March 31, 2011, product revenue decreased by 14% when compared to the prior year period.  Product revenue in 2011 includes approximately $0.8 million attributed to the sale and installation of energy management products, and approximately $0.5 million for the sale and installation of HSIA products, and approximately $0.1 million attributable to the Telkonet Series 5 products.   Since our sales of energy management and HSIA products are primarily concentrated in the hospitality market, we have been significantly impacted by the current economic downturn, as industry capital expenditures were reduced and/or eliminated.  We expect to see sales growth in 2011 from the addition and/or renewal of incentive based programs for energy efficiency, government stimulus funding through the ARRA, and energy savings initiatives in the commercial market

Despite selling the Series 5 PLC product line and related business assets, the Company believes this will have an immaterial impact on revenue and profitability, since it represented less than 5% of its revenue base in 2010.

Recurring Revenue
The recurring revenue consists primarily of HSIA support services and advertising revenue.  The Company recognizes revenue at the start of the service month for monthly support revenues and defers revenue for annual support services over the term of the service period.  Advertising revenue is based on impression-based statistics for a given period from customer site visits to the Company’s under the terms of advertising agreements entered into with third-parties.

Recurring revenue includes approximately 2,251 hotels in our broadband network portfolio.  We currently support over 207,000 HSIA rooms, with over 3.5 million monthly users.  For the three months ended March 31, 2011, recurring revenue increased by 11% when compared to the prior year.  The increase in recurring revenue was primarily attributed to a new advertising program started in the first quarter of 2011.

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 months ended March 31, 2011, product costs decreased by 21% when compared to the prior year period, due to decreased revenue in the current period.   Product costs for the three months ended March 31, 2011, decreased by 6% as a percentage of revenue when compared to the prior year period, due to inventory obsolescence adjustments on prior generation SmartEnergy and Series 3 PLC product.

Recurring Costs
For the three months ended March 31, 2011, recurring costs decreased by 14% when compared to the prior year period, due to cost correction efforts in providing support services to our EthoStream Hospitality Network customers.  Recurring costs for the three months ended March 31, 2011, decreased by 12% as a percentage of revenue when compared to the prior year period, due to the increase in advertising revenue which yields greater margins. As we continued to add new HSIA customers to our portfolio, we may need to hire additional support center staff which may affect our recurring product costs and margins.

During the three months ended March 31, 2011, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased over the comparable prior year period by approximately 36%.  This decrease is primarily the result of cost correction efforts in areas of staffing, professional fees, financing fees and debt forgiveness plans. We do not expect to see a significant increase in selling, general and administrative expenses for the remainder of 2011, except as necessary to meet future growth opportunities.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have financed our operations since inception primarily through private and public offerings of our equity securities, the issuance of various debt instruments and asset based lending.

Working Capital

Our working capital deficit decreased by $2,290,305 during the three months ended March 31, 2011 from a working capital deficit (current liabilities in excess of current assets) of $4,162,420 at December 31, 2010 to a working capital deficit of $1,872,115 at March 31, 2011. The increase in working capital for the three months ended March 31, 2011 is due to the retirement of a convertible debenture, the associated derivative liability and the retirement of two related party notes.

Business Loan

On September 11, 2009, we entered into a Loan Agreement to borrow an aggregate principal amount of $300,000 from the Wisconsin Department of Commerce, or the Department.  The outstanding principal balance on the loan bears interest at the annual rate of two percent (2.0%).  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, we are obligated to pay equal monthly installments of $4,426 each; followed by a final installment on December 1, 2016 which will include all remaining principal, accrued interest and other amounts owed by us to the Department under the Loan Agreement.  We may prepay amounts outstanding under the loan in whole or in part at any time without penalty.  The loan is secured by our assets and the proceeds from this loan will be used for our working capital requirements.  The outstanding borrowing under the agreement at March 31, 2011 was $288,202.

On March 4, 2011, the Company sold its Series 5 Power Line Carrier product line and related business assets to Dynamic Ratings (“Dynamic Ratings”).  The purchase price was $1,000,000 in cash.  In connection with the sale Dynamic Ratings lent $700,000 in the form of a 6% promissory note (Promissory Note# 1) dated March 4, 2011. The Company used the proceeds received to retire substantially all of its obligations under its $1.6 million senior convertible debenture due May 29, 2011 and to cancel the related warrants covering 11.7 million shares of the Company’s common stock.  In exchange for the early retirement of debt and cancellation of warrants, the Company provided the lender with an unsecured one-year promissory note for $50,000 (Promissory Note# 2).

Promissory Note #1

On March 4, 2011, the Company sold all its Series 5 PLC product line assets to Wisconsin-based Dynamic Ratings, Inc. (“Purchaser”) under an Asset Purchase Agreement (“APA”).  Per the APA, the Company signed a Promissory Note (“Note #1”) due to Purchaser in the aggregate principal amount of $700,000. The outstanding principal balance bears interest at the annual rate of six (6) percent and is due on March 31, 2014.   Note #1 may be prepaid in whole or in part, without penalty at any time, however scheduled payments are due on June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2013.  Payments shall be applied first to accrued but unpaid interest and then to principal.  Note #1 contains certain earn-out provisions that encompass both the Company’s and Purchaser’s revenue volumes.  Provided these provisions are met, the Company could potentially retire Note #1 prior to its expiration date.  Payments not made when due, by maturity acceleration or otherwise, shall bear interest at the rate of 12% per annum from the date due until fully paid.

Promissory Note #2

From the sale of its Series 5 PLC product line assets, the Company used the proceeds received to retire substantially all of its obligations under its $1.6 million senior convertible debenture due May 29, 2011 and to cancel the related warrants covering 11.7 million shares of the Company’s common stock.  In exchange for the early retirement of debt and cancellation of warrants, the Company provided the lender with an unsecured one-year promissory note (“Note #2”) for $50,000.  The outstanding principal balance bears interest at the annual rate of five and one-quarter percent (5.25) percent and is due on March 4, 2012.  However  Note #2 is due immediately if the Company (a) receives three million ($3,000,000) dollars in aggregate in new debt or equity financing, (b) attains one million ($1,000,000) dollars in EBITDA for any reporting quarter or (3) becomes insolvent.  The Note may be prepaid in whole or in part, without penalty at any time.  Payments shall be applied first to accrued but unpaid interest and then to principal.

Proceeds from the issuance of common stock

During the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Company did not receive any proceeds from the issuance of its common stock.

Cash flow analysis

Cash used in operations was $19,957 and $503,509 during the period ending March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. During the period ended March 31, 2011, our primary capital needs include business strategy execution, inventory procurement and managing current liabilities.

Cash provided from investing activities from continuing operations of $4,800 and $0 during the periods ended March 31, 2011, and 2010, respectively.  

Cash provided from financing activities was $82,179 and $52,253 during the period ending March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
 
We have eased cash required for operations by trimming 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.
 
Our independent registered public accountants have stated in their report dated March 29, 2011 that we have incurred operating losses in the past years, and that we are dependent upon management’s ability to develop profitable operations and/or obtain necessary funding from outside sources, including by the sale of our securities, or obtaining loans from financial institutions, where possible.  These factors, among others, may raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. This may also affect our ability to obtain financing in the future.
 
Management expects that global economic conditions will continue to present a challenging operating environment through 2011.  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 2011.
 
While we have been able to manage our working capital needs, additional financing is required in order to meet our current and projected cash flow requirements from operations.  We cannot predict whether this new financing will be in the form of equity or debt.  We may not be able to obtain the necessary additional capital on a timely basis, on acceptable terms, or at all. 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.


Off-Balance sheet Arrangements

We do not maintain off-balance sheet arrangements nor do we participate in any non-exchange traded contracts requiring fair value accounting treatment.

Acquisition or Disposition of Property and Equipment

During the three months ended March 31, 2011, there were no expenditures on fixed assets and costs of equipment under operating leases.  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.

We presently lease two commercial office spaces in Germantown, Maryland totaling, in the aggregate, 16,400 square feet.  Both leases expire in December 2015.  We are actively pursuing an acceptable financial settlement and/or a sublease for all or a portion of this office spaces.

Disclosure of Contractual Obligations

On March 4, 2011, the Company sold its Series 5 Power Line Carrier product line and related business assets to Dynamic Ratings (“Dynamic Ratings”).  The purchase price was $1,000,000 in cash.  In connection with the sale Dynamic Ratings lent $700,000 in the form of a 6% promissory note (Promissory Note# 1) dated March 4, 2011.

(“Purchaser”) under an Asset Purchase Agreement (“APA”).  Per the APA, the Company signed a Promissory Note (“Note #1”) due to Purchaser in the aggregate principal amount of $700,000.

Promissory Note #2

From the sale of its Series 5 PLC product line assets, the Company used the proceeds received to retire substantially all of its obligations under its $1.6 million senior convertible debenture due May 29, 2011 and to cancel the related warrants covering 11.7 million shares of the Company’s common stock.  In exchange for the early retirement of debt and cancellation of warrants, the Company provided the lender with an unsecured one-year promissory note (“Note #2”) for $50,000.  The outstanding principal balance bears interest at the annual rate of five and one-quarter percent (5.25) percent and is due on March 4, 2012.  However  Note #2 is due immediately if the Company (a) receives three million ($3,000,000) dollars in aggregate in new debt or equity financing, (b) attains one million ($1,000,000) dollars in EBITDA for any reporting quarter or (3) becomes insolvent.  The Note may be prepaid in whole or in part, without penalty at any time.  Payments shall be applied first to accrued but unpaid interest and then to principal. 


Number of Employees

As of April 30, 2011, the Company had 77 full time employees.


Item 4.  Controls and Procedures.
 
As of March 31, 2011, the Company performed an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Acting Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation and due to the lack of segregation of duties and failure to implement accounting controls, the Chief Executive Officer and Acting Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of the end of the period covered by this report.  During the three months ended March 31, 2011, there was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting 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.

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.

Tellabs, Inc. v. Telkonet, Inc.

Our landlord has filed a claim for unpaid rent in a case styled Tellabs, Inc. v. Telkonet, Inc. in the Circuit Court for Montgomery County, State of Maryland and was granted a judgment in March 2010 in the amount of $64,966. Pursuant to that judgment, we received a notice of eviction from our landlord for the unpaid rent. We sought to extend the date for eviction but were unable to negotiate a payment plan acceptable to the landlord and voluntarily vacated the space on May 3, 2010.  Our landlord has filed an additional claim for unpaid rent and other expenses alleged to be due in a case styled Tellabs, Inc. v. Telkonet, Inc. in the Circuit Court for Montgomery County, State of Maryland.  A settlement of $110,000 was agreed upon and the suit was dismissed on January 28, 2011.


Robert P. Crabb v. Telkonet Inc.

On November 9, 2010, a former executive, Robert P. Crabb, served Telkonet, Inc. and Telkonet Communications, Inc. ("Telkonet") with a Complaint in the Circuit Court for Montgomery County, MD alleging  (1) Violation of Maryland Wage Payment and Collection Act  (2) Breach of Contract and  (3) Promissory Estoppel/Detrimental Reliance.  The claims in his Complaint arise out of his resignation of employment in September 2007.  On December 6, 2010, Telkonet filed an Answer and Counterclaim, alleging “Recoupment.” Mr. Crabb filed an Answer to the Counterclaim on January 10, 2011.  In terms of relief, Mr. Crabb is seeking "severance compensation" in the amount of $156,000, treble damages, interest, and attorneys’ fees.  Treble damages and attorneys’ fees are only available under the Maryland Wage Payment and Collection Act.  Mr. Crabb's Complaint provides no specific accounting for the relief sought.  The parties are in the process of responding to written discovery.  Mr. Crabb has requested a jury trial. 

Stephen L. Sadle v. Telkonet, Inc
