College Student Club Offsets Carbon Emissions at F.W. Olin Graduate School of Business
Last Update: 11:30 AM ET Aug 10, 2007
WELLESLEY, Mass., Aug 10, 2007 /PRNewswire-USNewswire via COMTEX/ -- The Energy and Environmental Club at Babson College has purchased carbon offsets to reduce the environmental impact of operations at the F.W. Olin Graduate School of Business. The club's purchase counterbalances 1% of the annual carbon emissions that result from the estimated consumption of 1.4 million kWh of electricity and 86 thousand therms of natural gas at the business school, offsetting over 13 tons of CO2 emissions.
"The growing awareness worldwide of issues related to sustainability is good news. Babson's Energy and Environmental Club has gone beyond awareness and just talking about the issues, and has taken action. Bravo," commented Mark Rice, Dean of the F.W. Olin Graduate School of Business.
The offset purchase, which was completed last month, will help to subsidize the cost of producing electricity through renewable technologies. While Babson will not change its source of electricity, the purchase will support the continued use of clean power technologies, such as solar and wind, in areas across the country.
"This is a small step, but a great opportunity for the club to demonstrate its commitment to sustainability," said Clinton White, Co-President of the Energy and Environmental Club. "We're excited about this initiative and believe that it is important for us as both students and future leaders to support environmentally responsible business practices." Through the offset purchase, the Energy and Environmental Club will be "carbon neutral" during the 2007-2008 academic year.
The club's offsets have been purchased through Carbonfund.org, a non- profit organization that supports renewable energy, reforestation, and energy efficiency projects worldwide to reduce carbon dioxide emissions and the threat of climate change.
The Club effort follows action this week by Babson College to select Telkonet SmartEnergy to manage the in-room energy consumption in the 120 room dormitory, McCullough Hall. Telkonet SmartEnergy, which incorporates the proven technology developed by Smart Systems International (SSI), eliminates wasted energy from heating and cooling unoccupied rooms. The system uses packaged terminal air conditioner (PTAC) controllers and occupancy sensors to adjust and maintain a room's temperature, sensing when the room is vacant or occupied.
Shelley Kaplan, associate vice president of facilities for Babson College, commented, "McCullough Hall was the perfect candidate for an energy management system, with its expensive, energy-intensive electric heating. We needed to take control of our energy costs, as we were paying to heat and cool students' rooms when they were in class and away during summer and Christmas breaks. Manually changing the temperature in each room was labor-intensive and inconsistent. After researching various energy management companies, we found the SSI technology to be the most cost-effective and reliable. Based on a trial, installation costs were lower by using wireless occupancy sensors, eliminating costly wiring. Recovery time was quick, with rooms returning back to the student's temperature setting within minutes upon their return. Most importantly, with the trial resulting in energy consumption savings of 30%, we can anticipate a payback within 2 years or less. Based on funding availability, we will look at installing the energy management system in our conference center/hotel next."

I like the 'annotates'.;^D
*******TKO Annontated Chart*******
We have a nice looking chart except me dont like the gaps and my favorite to look at (CMF & A/D)...For daytraders keep on eye to see if MM decide and will try to fill the gap..
HOPEFULLY, with the new leadership, there will be a change in protocol on PR, as well...new leaders, new way of doing things USUALLY follows.
Looking at the pop this week....it is highly possible that this will go above $2 before the Q3 comes out, IMO....heck it is hovering around $1.85 today, and there seems to be some profit taking already, too, but I think, overall, it will still get to that $2 sooner than later....
STOLEN FROM THE YAHOO BOARD:
Some MM points about TKO (Not rated) 42 minutes ago Some M.M. comments: In regards to the company's recent lows, I think this is what happens when Wall Street sours on a management, and then a big downturn hits. There are so many other ideas to buy, why would they step up to the plate for a CEO who doesn't go to the office every day?
Referring to the July 30 filing regarding a $1.5 million bridge loan, carrying 6% interest and payable out of the company's next financing, or by January 28, 2008. The lender, GRQ Consultants, got a $25,000 fee and issued five-year warrants for 359,712 TKO shares at $4.17 a share. Those are not onerous terms, and this is not a toxic convertible. I think it's neutral to mildly positive news.
The company has won the potentially huge EDS/Department of Defense contract. They've overpaid for an acquisition and then taken their medicine by spinning it off. The main problem is that the CEO is trying to run the company from hundreds of miles away, which may work OK with an Internet start-up, or even a Fortune 500-size enterprise (John Malone of cable TV fame did it for years), but it is no way to run a small-cap public company. I don't think that TKO is going broke, as evidenced by the terms of the recent $1.5 million bridge loan.
They are the leader in in-building Broadband over Power lines, and have won key contracts against their competitors.
Encouraged by yesterday's announcement that the Board has appointed Jason Tienor, the founder and CEO of recently-acquired EthoStream, as Chief Operating Officer, and he'll be responsible for Telkonet, EthoStream and Smart Systems International. That's all the operating divisions of TKO.
I found the press release language interesting:
"Having worked closely with Jason for the past year, he has proven to be an exceptional business leader and a strategic planner, coupled with strong technical expertise. He has excelled by developing, from the ground up, one of the largest hospitality networks in the U.S. with unparalleled, end-to-end customer support. With Jason's drive, expertise and dedication to quality, Jason is highly qualified to drive our sales and take the company to the next level."
"Jason is highly qualified to drive our sales and take the company to the next level." To me, "taking the company to the next level" means he will move up to CEO shortly, and that is the reason the stock went up 20 cents in today's bloodbath. Jason is our White Knight, and we should stick with TKO and give him a chance to run it right.

I would agree that we will need to continue getting updates to keep the stock price rising into the next quarter release. I really hope that today's general PR indicating federal deals getting good traction is evidenced by consistent PRs detailing this. Even if they don't provide numbers with each one, at least we will know that airport and EDS installs are happening. I would hate to see the PPS be allowed to drift back down, just to have a run up when the next 10Q comes out. Hopefully we will rise to the lows $2s by late October so that the boost from a good 3rd qtr could push us close to $3. If we can get back to the low $3s and hold that through the end of the year, and TKO gets to positive cash flow run rate by the end of the year, I think a move into the $4s will be warranted. Maybe NASDAQ by next summer???
Good afternoon folks....gheez...this has been a pretty darned good week for TKO shareholders, yes? As I write, I think wow, from $1.20 to $1.85 in one week. I realize that when the pps goes up...most everyone is silent--no complaining, hahahaha.
What's next?!
Well, maybe now we will get some guidance, we still have to meet the new folks, and I look forward to more transparency with our new leadership. It is a good thing, as Martha would say.
There's an old saying money talks and bs wants. Its nice to see the money finally talking. Lets hope all the bs'er decide to walk.
Apologies would not be appropiate now for all who have bashed Ron,the company, GLL, WALRUS. Especially our friend that everyone has on ignore. Have you got MLK
I guess the market can add without using its fingers and toes.
BSD
If anyone has access to Level II, watch TKO. If the overhead from 1.90 to 2.00 get cleared, should run a little.
You people really don't know how to add. TKO made $3.1M. MSHI made $500K. TKO likes to play funny with numbers like that. Remember, they aren't the same company any longer...So, as I said earlier, TKO only made $3.1M.
I love all the predictions. It is always good to go to bed with a chuckle. No way TKO is above $2 this week, next week, or in August. No way they make it to $2.20 before November. I have a feeling we are heading lower tomorrow. Who will win? I have a feeling we all know who that will be.
Well, they made the revenue as promised in the cc. They say they have enough money to fund operations through the end of the year. It's going to require a massive effort to reach 25 million as promised. About 20 million in revenue in six months. The revenues for government and energy sectors, though growing, are low. The foreign numbers are practically non-existent. Costs will be going down, they say. They'd better. But if they can fund the operation with cash on hand and revenues, things are looking up. It'll be interesting to see what the market makes of this.
BSD (I wish I could put some goodwill in MY bank account, GAAP this!)
Siri,
I'm an ahole. I apologize. you were right. mea culpa.
BSD
Sirius,
elated to see you in such a good mood.. Telkonet has that secret sauce that makes one 'Smile'..
But I must say, that you have to be mistaken.. MLK states that the revenue is $3.1Mln and he is 'nevvvveerrrr' wrong.. Just has to be a misprint in the 10Q..
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh, it's hard to be humble and meek!!! LOL
$2.20 a share sometime this month is my guess.
yes - new as of July 24th. This was announced, or at least filed at the time.
I see they got the $3.6 million for the qtr. Good step as long as we have 6-7 million come through next qtr.
Arby's is BAD for you--their meat is almost fake..$2 on the other hand is a good number....
True I'm thinking above two tomorrow.Or maybe I'm thinking Arby's.
What do you think?....really....the Q2 stated what we thought it would, there is new leadership, the tute count went up by 2 this week, the charts are suggesting accumulation this week, the buyers have outnumbered the sellers, just this week....the market in general 'seems' to be in trouble, but TKO is already at its bottom (hopefully) and everyone that wanted to get out, has already done so before the general market trend this week... there is now, at least hope that things will move forward... but tomorrow IS Friday--a big day for selling stock...but then when has this stock followed the trends of the market?
So are we heading up or down tomorrow?????
I answer him because it makes to me happy that I am able to shed some light to someone who is so clearly frustrated.
MLK, help me help you!
"scuse me MLK...but we have posted the entire report here, and on Yahoo....so, before you say what you WANT us to believe, remember that WE can READ the report, right here on the IHUB board, to verify the numbers---AS THEY REALLY ARE! What we have done is called 'preventative action' to hold back the bashers from 'creating a fantasy' , you know, embelleshing, in their mind, some story that has no relevance to the truth--it is just for the bashers' "entertainment", if you will.
RBT and Sirius thank you..it is new to me and I haven't paying attention to TKO lately..
MLK, furiously bashing on his keys! Its ok buddy, I will take the time read all your posts, even if I am the only one.
Seriously, its ok to be postive once in a while. It really is! I know you are frustrated because you sold at 1.40, but some of us have not. So be happy for us today. Maybe you can jump back in tommorrow and make some of your losses back!
By the way, your wrong on you numbers, they did 3.6. Exactly what was been floating around for months.
Its not new. This was done a little while back. Its bond with warrants that are convertable at 4.17. It is NOT dilution, warrants dont trade, they are only excerised when the stock hits that price. I am sure we all be relatively satisfied when the stock trades at 4.17.
This type of loan is a lot more favorable that issuing more shares of common stock. Loans at attractive rates with warrants that above the stock market value are the way to go.
It was announced when it happened--and discussed mostly on yahoo--this is where TKO 'borrowed' money for cash flow to get them thru August (?) or Sept (?), when revenues are supposed to start rolling in a lot faster than they have been....looking at it 20-20...maybe it was borrowed to pay for the head-hunters sevices to find a COO and EVP...and the re-organization efforts...who knows?
Is this something new??
Senior Note Purchase Agreement
On July 24, 2007, Telkonet entered into a Senior Note Purchase Agreement with GRQ Consultants, Inc. (“GRQ”) pursuant to which the Company issued to GRQ a Senior Promissory Note (the “Note”) in the aggregate principal amount of $1,500,000. The Note is due and payable on the earlier to occur of (i) the closing of the Company’s next financing, or (ii) January 28, 2008, and bears interest at a rate of six (6%) percent per annum. The Company has incurred approximately $25,000 in fees in connection with this transaction. The net proceeds from the issuance of the Note will be 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 Telkonet common stock at $4.17 per share. These warrants expire five years from the date of issuance.
Hope everyone sold on today's run up, because tomorrow will be really BAD. Why doesn't anyone listen to me...who was expecting $5M anyway?????
And they continue to burn money at an alarming rate. Still not even close to being profitable. Add up first quarter and second quarter revenues and they still don't even come close to equalling what they spent in second quarter. UGLY. There is absolutely nothing positive in this report. But wait, there is always third quarter which will be announced in November. Hilarious!!!
Plus, the printing press in the back room hasn't stopped yet...dilute, dilute, dilute...sure glad he isn't my bartender
Of the 3.1, over $500K was from Ethostream. hahahaha...it gets worse as you read more of it.
The 10Q is even worse than all the lowballers were saying. $3.1M revenue for TKO in the second quarter? UGLY!! It is going to be rough tomorrow. I was right yet again. Sorry.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2007
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE A - SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
General
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and 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. Accordingly, the results from operations for the three and six-month period ended June 30, 2007, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2007. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated December 31, 2006 financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.
Basis of Presentation
Telkonet, Inc. (the "Company"), formerly Comstock Coal Company, Inc., was formed on November 3, 1999 under the laws of the state of Utah. The Company was a “development stage enterprise” (as defined by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 7) until December 31, 2003. The Company is engaged in the business of developing, producing and marketing proprietary equipment enabling the transmission of voice and data over electric utility lines.
In January 2006, following the acquisition of Microwave Satellite Technologies (MST) (Note B), the Company began offering complete sales, installation, and service of VSAT and business television networks, and became a full-service national Internet Service Provider (ISP). The MST solution offers a complete “Quad-play” solution to subscribers of HDTV, VoIP telephony, NuVision Broadband Internet access and wireless fidelity (“Wi-Fi”) access, to commercial multi-dwelling units and hotels.
In March 2007, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of Smart Systems International (SSI), a leading provider of energy management products and solutions to customers in the United States and Canada.
In March 2007, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding membership units of Ethostream, LLC, a network solutions integration company that offers installation, sales and service to the hospitality industry. The Ethostream acquisition will enable Telkonet to provide installation and support for PLC products and third party applications to customers across North America.
In May 2007, Microwave Acquisition Corp., a newly formed wholly-owned subsidiary of MSTI Holdings Inc. (formerly Fitness Xpress-Software Inc.) merged with MST. As a result of the merger, the Company’s common stock in MST was exchanged for shares of common stock of MSTI Holdings Inc. Immediately following the merger, MSTI Holdings Inc. completed a private placement of its common stock for aggregate gross proceeds of $3,078,716 and sold senior convertible debentures in the aggregate principal amount of $6,050,000 (plus an 8% original issue discount added to such principal amount). As a result of these transactions, the Company’s 90% interest in MST became a 63% interest in MSTI Holdings Inc.
8
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Telkonet Communications, Inc. and Ethostream, LLC and 63%-owned subsidiary MSTI Holdings Inc. (reported as the Company’s MST segment). Significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Investments in entities over which the Company has significant influence, typically those entities that are 20 to 50 percent owned by the Company, are accounted for using the equity method of accounting, whereby the investment is carried at cost of acquisition, plus the Company’s equity in undistributed earnings or losses since acquisition.
Reclassification
Certain reclassifications have been made to conform prior periods’ data to the current presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on reported losses.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments and related items, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents. The Company places its cash and temporary cash investments with credit quality institutions. At times, such investments may be in excess of the FDIC insurance limit. The Company periodically reviews its trade receivables in determining its allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $146,998 and $60,000 at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.
Liquidity
As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company incurred net loss of $9,986,346 and $11,829,144 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Net loss included $131,009 and $3,760,839 of non-cash expense in connection with the convertible debentures and $844,030 and $862,162 of non-cash compensation to employees and non-employees in connection with stock options granted and vested for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The Company's current assets, on a consolidated basis, exceeded its current liabilities by $5,710,457 as of June 30, 2007.
Revenue Recognition
For revenue from product sales, the Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, Revenue Recognition (“SAB104”), which superceded Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements (“SAB101”). SAB 101 requires that four basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred; (3) the selling price is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectibility is reasonably assured. Determination of criteria (3) and (4) are based on management’s judgments regarding the fixed nature of the selling prices of the products delivered and the collectibility of those amounts. Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances, and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded. The Company defers any revenue for which the product has not been delivered or is subject to refund until such time that the Company and the customer jointly determine that the product has been delivered or no refund will be required. SAB 104 incorporates Emerging Issues Task Force 00-21 (“EITF 00-21”), Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements. EITF 00-21 addresses accounting for arrangements that may involve the delivery or performance of multiple products, services and/or rights to use assets.
For equipment under lease, revenue is recognized over the lease term for operating lease and rental contracts. All of the Company’s leases are accounted for as operating leases. At the inception of the lease, no lease revenue is recognized and the leased equipment and installation costs are capitalized and appear on the balance sheet as “Equipment Under Operating Leases.” The capitalized cost of this equipment is depreciated from two to three years, on a straight-line basis down to the Company’s original estimate of the projected value of the equipment at the end of the scheduled lease term. Monthly lease payments are recognized as rental income. For sales-type leases, we record the discounted present values of minimum rental payments under sales-type leases as sales.
MST accounts for the revenue, costs and expense related to residential cable services as the related services are performed in accordance with SFAS No. 51, Financial Reporting by Cable Television Companies. Installation revenue for residential cable services is recognized to the extent of direct selling costs incurred. Direct selling costs have exceeded installation revenue in all reported periods. Generally, credit risk is managed by disconnecting services to customers who are delinquent. The capitalized cost of this equipment is depreciated from three to ten years, on a straight-line basis down to the Company’s original estimate of the projected value of the equipment at the end of the scheduled lease term and appears on the balance sheet in “Equipment Under Operating Leases.”.
9
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Guarantees and Product Warranties
FASB Interpretation No. 45, “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others” (“FIN 45”), requires that upon issuance of a guarantee, the guarantor must disclose and recognize a liability for the fair value of the obligation it assumes under that guarantee.
The Company’s guarantees were issued subject to the recognition and disclosure requirements of FIN 45 as of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006. The Company records a liability for potential warranty claims. The amount of the liability is based on the trend in the historical ratio of claims to sales, the historical length of time between the sale and resulting warranty claim, new product introductions and other factors. The products sold are generally covered by a warranty for a period of one year. In the event the Company determines that its current or future product repair and replacement costs exceed its estimates, an adjustment to these reserves would be charged to earnings in the period such determination is made. During the six months ended June 30, 2007 and the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company experienced approximately three percent of units returned under its product warranty policy. As of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the Company recorded warranty liabilities in the amount of $57,598 and $47,300, respectively, using this experience factor.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.” SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments, and certain other items, at fair value. SFAS 159 applies to reporting periods beginning after November 15, 2007. The adoption of SFAS 159 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.
NOTE B - ACQUISITION OF SUBSIDIARY
Acquisition of Microwave Technologies, Inc .
On January 31, 2006, the Company acquired a 90% interest in Microwave Satellite Technologies, Inc. (“MST”) from Frank Matarazzo, the sole stockholder of MST, in exchange for $1.8 million in cash and 1.6 million unregistered shares of the Company’s common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $9,000,000. The purchase price of $9,000,000 was increased by $117,822 for direct costs related to the acquisition. These direct costs included legal, accounting and other professional fees. The cash portion of the purchase price was payable in two installments, $900,000 at closing and $900,000 payable in January 2007. The stock portion is payable from shares held in escrow, 400,000 shares at closing and the remaining 1,200,000 “purchase price contingency” shares issued based on the achievement of 3,300 “Triple Play” subscribers over a three year period. In the second quarter ended June 30, 2006, the Company issued 200,000 shares of the purchase price contingency valued at $900,000 as an adjustment to Goodwill.
The purchase price contingency shares are price protected for the benefit of the former owner of MST. In the event the Company’s common stock price is less than $4.50 per share upon issuance of the shares from escrow, a pro rata adjustment in the number of shares will be required to support the aggregate consideration of $5.4 million. The price protection provision provides a cash benefit to the former owner of MST if the as-defined market price of the Company’s common stock is less than $4.50 per share at the time of issuance from the escrow. The issuance of additional shares or distribution of other consideration upon resolution of the contingency based on the Company’s common stock prices will not affect the cost of the acquisition. When the contingency is resolved or settled, and additional consideration is distributable, the Company will record the current fair value of the additional consideration and the amount previously recorded for the common stock issued will be simultaneously reduced to the lower current value of the Company’s common stock.
10
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MST is a communications technology company that offers complete sales, installation, and service of Very Small Aperture Terminal (VSAT) and business television networks, and is a full-service national Internet Service Provider (ISP). Management believes that the MST acquisition will enable Telkonet to provide a complete “Quad-play” solution to subscribers of HDTV, VoIP telephony, NuVision Broadband Internet access and wireless fidelity (“Wi-Fi”) access, to commercial multi-dwelling units and hotels.
The acquisition of MST was accounted for using the purchase method in accordance with SFAS 141, “Business Combinations.” The value of the Company’s common stock issued as a part of the acquisition was determined based on the average price of the Company's common stock for several days before and after the acquisition of MST. The results of operations for MST have been included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations since the date of acquisition. The components of the purchase price were as follows:
As Reported Including
Purchase Price Contingency
(*)
Common stock $ 2,700,000 $ 7,200,000
Cash (including note payable) 1,800,000 1,800,000
Direct acquisition costs 117,822 117,822
Purchase price 4,617,822 9,117,822
Minority interest 19,569 19,569
Total $ 4,637,391 $ 9,137,391
In accordance with Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 141, Business Combinations, the total purchase price was allocated to the estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The fair value of the assets acquired was based on management’s best estimates. The purchase price was allocated to the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as follows:
As Reported Including
Purchase Price
Contingency
(*)
Cash and other current assets $ 346,548 $ 346,548
Equipment and other assets 1,310,125 1,310,125
Subscriber lists 2,463,927 2,463,927
Goodwill and other intangible assets 1,977,767 6,477,767
Subtotal 6,098,367 10,598,367
Current liabilities 1,460,976 1,460,976
Total $ 4,637,391 $ 9,137,391
(*) At the date of the acquisition, the effect of the “purchase price contingency” shares valued at approximately $5.4 million had not been recorded in accordance with FAS 141. In the second quarter ended June 30, 2006, the Company issued 200,000 shares of the purchase price contingency valued at $900,000 as an adjustment to Goodwill. The remaining shares, when issued, will reflect an adjustment to Goodwill and Other Intangibles.
Goodwill and other intangible assets represent the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible assets acquired. The Company used a discounted cash flow model to determine the value of the intangible assets and to allocate the excess purchase price to the intangible assets and goodwill as appropriate. In this model, expected cash flows from subscribers were discounted to their present value at a rate of return of 20% (incorporating the risk-free rate, expected inflation, and related business risks) over a period of eight years. Expected costs such as income taxes and cost of sales were deducted from expected revenues to arrive at after tax cash flows. In accordance with SFAS 142, goodwill is not amortized and will be tested for impairment at least annually. The subscriber list was independently valued at $2,463,927 with an estimated useful life of eight years.
11
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At December 31, 2006, the Company performed an impairment test on the goodwill and intangibles acquired, it was determined that there were no changes in the carrying value of goodwill and intangibles acquired.
On May 24, 2007, MST completed a merger transaction pursuant to which it became a wholly-owned subsidiary of MSTI Holdings, Inc. (formerly Fitness Xpress, Inc. ("FXS")), an inactive publicly registered shell corporation with no significant assets or operations). As a result of the merger, there was a change in control of the public shell corporation. In accordance with SFAS No. 141, MST was the acquiring entity. While the transaction is accounted for using the purchase method of accounting, in substance the transaction represented a recapitalization of MST’s capital structure. For accounting purposes, the Company accounted for the transaction as a reverse acquisition and MST is the surviving entity. MST did not recognize goodwill or any intangible assets in connection with the transaction. In connection with the acquisition, the Company’s 90% interest in MST was converted to a 63% interest in MSTI Holdings, Inc.
Acquisition of Smart Systems International, Inc.
On March 9, 2007, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of Smart Systems International (SSI), a leading provider of energy management products and solutions to customers in the United States and Canada for cash and Company common stock having an aggregate value of $6,875,000. The purchase price was comprised of $875,000 in cash and 2,227,273 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company is obligated to register the stock portion of the purchase price on or before May 15, 2007 and 1,090,909 shares are being held in an escrow account for a period of one year following the closing from which certain potential indemnification obligations under the purchase agreement may be satisfied. The aggregate number of shares held in escrow is 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.
The acquisition of SSI was accounted for using the purchase method in accordance with SFAS 141, “Business Combinations.” The value of the Company’s common stock issued as a part of the acquisition was determined based on the most recent price of the Company's common stock on the day immediately preceding the acquisition date. The results of operations for SSI have been included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations since the date of acquisition. The components of the purchase price were as follows:
As Reported
Common stock $ 6,000,000
Cash 875,000
Direct acquisition costs 131,543
Total Purchase Price $ 7,006,543
In accordance with Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 141, Business Combinations, the total purchase price was allocated to the estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The fair value of the assets acquired was based on management’s best estimates. The purchase price was allocated to the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as follows:
Current assets $ 1,229,867
Property, plant and equipment 36,020
Other assets 8,237
Goodwill 6,290,203
Total assets acquired 7,564,327
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities (557,784 )
Total liabilities assumed (557,784 )
Net assets acquired $ 7,006,543
12
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Due to its recent date of acquisition, the purchase price allocation to Goodwill is based upon preliminary data that is subject to adjustment and could change significantly. In accordance with SFAS 142, goodwill is not amortized and will be tested for impairment at least annually.
Acquisition of Ethostream LLC
On March 15, 2007, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding membership units of Ethostream, LLC, a network solutions integration company that offers installation, sales and service to the hospitality industry. The Ethostream acquisition will enable Telkonet to provide installation and support for PLC products and third party applications to customers across North America. The purchase price of $11,756,097 was comprised of $2.0 million in cash and 3,459,609 shares of the Company’s common stock. The entire stock portion of the purchase price is being held in escrow 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. If during the twelve months following the Closing, the common stock has a volume-weighted average trading price of at least $4.50, as reported on the American Stock Exchange, for twenty (20) consecutive trading days, the aggregate number of shares of common stock issuable to the sellers shall be adjusted such that the number of shares of common stock issuable as the stock consideration shall be determined assuming a per share price equal to $4.50.
The acquisition of Ethostream was accounted for using the purchase method in accordance with SFAS 141, “Business Combinations.” The value of the Company’s common stock issued as a part of the acquisition was determined based on the most recent price of the Company's common stock prior to the acquisition date. The results of operations for Ethostream have been included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations since the date of acquisition. The components of the purchase price were as follows:
As Reported
Common stock $ 9,756,097
Cash 2,000,000
Direct acquisition costs 164,346
Total Purchase Price $ 11,920,443
In accordance with Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 141, Business Combinations, the total purchase price was allocated to the estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The fair value of the assets acquired was based on management’s best estimates. The purchase price was allocated to the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as follows:
Current assets $ 939,029
Property, plant and equipment 51,724
Other assets 21,602
Subscriber lists 2,900,000
Goodwill 8,806,719
Total assets acquired 12,719,074
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities (798,631 )
Total liabilities assumed (798,631 )
Net assets acquired $ 11,920,443
13
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Goodwill and other intangible assets represent the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible assets acquired. Due to its recent date of acquisition, the purchase price allocation to Intangibles and Goodwill is based upon preliminary data that is subject to adjustment and could change significantly pending the completion of management’s valuation to accurately evaluate this allocation. In accordance with SFAS 142, goodwill is not amortized and will be tested for impairment at least annually. The subscriber list was preliminarily valued and could also change significantly pending the completion of management’s appraisal at $2,900,000 with an estimated useful life of twelve years.
The following unaudited condensed combined pro forma results of operations reflect the pro forma combination of the Telkonet, MST, SSI and Ethostream businesses as if the combination had occurred at the beginning of the periods presented compared with the actual results of operations of Telkonet for the same period. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined results of operations do not purport to represent what the companies’ combined results of operations would have been if such transaction had occurred at the beginning of the periods presented, and are not necessarily indicative of Telkonet’s future results.

As a result of the MST acquisition at January 31, 2006 and the Ethostream acquisition on March 15, 2007, the Company had intangibles totaling $5,363,927 at June 30, 2007 (Note B).
In accordance with SFAS 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (SFAF No. 142), an impairment test will be performed on these assets at least annually. The consolidated statement of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 includes only charges for amortization of these intangibles.
14
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We used a discounted cash flow model to determine the value of the intangible assets and to allocate the excess purchase price to the intangible assets and goodwill as appropriate. In this model, expected cash flows from subscribers were discounted to their present value at a rate of return of 20% (incorporating the risk-free rate, expected inflation, and related business risks) over a determined length of life year. Expected costs such as income taxes and cost of sales were deducted from expected revenues to arrive at after tax cash flows.
We have applied the same discounted cash flow methodology to the assessment of value of the intangible assets of Ethostream, LLC, during the acquisition completed on March 15, 2007, for purposes of determining the purchase price.
The MST subscriber list was determined to have an eight-year life. This intangible was amortized using that life and amortization from the date of the acquisition through June 30, 2007 was taken as a charge against income in the consolidated statement of operations. MST's goodwill of $1,977,767, excluding the purchase price contingency, represented the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired.
The Ethostream subscriber list was estimated to have a twelve-year life. This intangible was amortized using that life and amortization from the date of the acquisition through June 30, 2007 was taken as a charge against income in the consolidated statement of operations. Ethostream's goodwill of $8,806,719 represented the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired.

At any time or times, the Noteholders shall be entitled to convert any portion of the outstanding and unpaid note amount into fully paid and nonassessable shares of the Company’s common Shares at $5 per share. At any time at the option of the Company, the principal payments may be paid either in cash or in common stock at the lower of $5 or 92.5% of the average recent market price. At any time after six months should the stock trade at or above $8.75 for 20 of 30 consecutive trading days, the Company can cause a mandatory redemption and conversion to shares at $5 per share. At any time, the Company can pre-pay the notes with cash or common stock.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In connection with the placement of the Notes in October 2005, the Company has also agreed to issue to the Noteholders one million warrants to purchase company common stock exercisable for five years at $5 per share. The Company recognized the value attributable to the warrants in the amount of $2,919,300 to a derivative liability due to the possibility of the Company having to make a cash settlement, including penalties, in the event the Company failed to register the shares underlying the warrants under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, within 90 days after the closing of the transaction. The Company accounted for this warrant derivative in accordance with EITF 00-19 Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company's Own Stock. The warrants were included as a liability and valued at fair market value until the Company met the criteria under EITF 00-19 for permanent equity. A registration statement covering shares issuable to the Noteholders upon conversion, amortization and/or redemption of the Convertible Senior Notes and upon exercise of the warrants was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form S-3 on November 23, 2005 and was declared effective on December 13, 2005. The warrant derivative liability was valued at the issuance date of the Notes in the amount of $2,919,300 and then revalued at $2,910,700 on December 13, 2005 upon effectiveness of the Form S-3. The Company charged $8,600 to Other Income and the derivative warrant liability was reclassified to additional paid in capital at December 13, 2005. The Company valued the warrants in accordance with EITF 00-27 using the Black-Scholes pricing model and the following assumptions: contractual terms of 5 years, an average risk free interest rate of 4.00%, a dividend yield of 0%, and volatility of 76%.

During the period ended June 30, 2006, the Company paid down principal of $1,250,000 in cash and issued an aggregate of 1,934,942 shares of common stock in connection with the conversion of $5,821,686 aggregate principal amount of the Senior Convertible Notes. Pursuant to the note agreement, the Company issued an additional 594,320 warrants to the Noteholders covering 65% of the $4,571,686 accelerated principal at a strike price of $5 per share. The Company valued the warrants at $1,290,328 using the Black-Scholes pricing model and the following assumptions: contractual terms of 5 years, an average risk free interest rate of 5.00%, a dividend yield of 0%, and volatility of 65%. The Company has accounted for the additional warrants issued as interest expense during the period ended June 30, 2006.
During the period ended June 30, 2006, the Company amortized the debt discount to the beneficial conversion feature and value of the attached warrants, and recorded non-cash interest expense in the amount of $311,589 and $618,421, respectively. The Company also wrote-off the unamortized debt discount attributed to the beneficial conversion feature and the value of the attached warrants in the amount of $427,169 and $842,990, respectively, in connection with paydown and conversion of the note.
The Company has warrants due the Noteholders as a result of the anti-dilution impact from a $10,000,000 private placement in February 2007 (Note I). The Company has accounted for the additional 76,230 warrants issued, valued at $131,009, as interest expense during the period ended March 31, 2007. The Company valued the warrants using the Black-Scholes pricing model and the following assumptions: contractual terms of 5 years, an average risk free interest rate of 4.75%, a dividend yield of 0%, and volatility of 70%.
Early Extinguishment of Debt
On August 14, 2006, the Company executed separate settlement agreements with the lenders of its Convertible Senior Notes. Pursuant to the settlement agreements the Company paid to the lenders on August 15, 2006 in the aggregate $9,910,392 plus accrued but unpaid interest of $23,951 and certain premiums specified in the Notes in satisfaction of the amounts then outstanding under the Notes. Of the amount to be paid to the lenders under the Notes, $6,500,000 was paid in cash through a drawdown on a letter of credit previously pledged as collateral for the Company’s obligations under the Notes. The remaining note balance of $1,428,314 and a Redemption Premium of $1,982,078, calculated as 25% of remaining principal, was paid to the lenders in shares of the Company’s common stock valued at the lower of $5.00 per share and 92.5% of the arithmetic average of the weighted average price of the Company’s common stock on the American Stock Exchange for the twenty trading days beginning on August 16, 2006. The Company also issued 862,452 warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at the exercise price of $2.58 per share (92.5% of the average trading price as described above). The Company valued the warrants at $1,014,934 using the Black-Scholes pricing model and the following assumptions: contractual terms of 5 years, an average risk free interest rate of 5.00%, a dividend yield of 0%, and volatility of 65%. The Company has accounted for the Redemption Premium and the additional warrants issued as non-cash early extinguishment of debt expense during the year ended December 31, 2006. Registration statements covering the shares underlying the warrants, were filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form S-3 on September 29, 2006 and October 13, 2006 and were declared effective on October 16, 2006 and October 24, 2006, respectively.
18
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As a result of the execution of the settlement agreements and the payments required thereby, the Company fully believes it repaid and satisfied all of its obligations under the Notes. The Company also agreed to pay the expenses of the lenders incurred in connection with the negotiation and execution of the settlement agreements. The settlement agreements were negotiated following the allegation by one of the lenders that the Company’s failure to meet the minimum revenue test for the period ending June 30, 2006 as specified on the Notes constituted an event of default under the Notes, which allegation the Company disputed.
The Settlement Agreement provides 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.

The weighted-average fair value of stock options granted to employees during the period ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 and the weighted-average significant assumptions used to determine those fair values, using a Black-Scholes option pricing model are as follows:
2007 2006
Significant assumptions (weighted-average):
Risk-free interest rate at grant date 4.7% 4.8%
Expected stock price volatility 70% 66%
Expected dividend payout - -
Expected option life-years 5.0 5.0
Expected forfeiture rate 12.0% 12.0%
Fair value per share of options granted $ 1.61 $ 1.80
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 12 months of share price data prior to the date of the award. We base the risk-free interest rate used in the Black-Scholes-Merton option valuation model on the implied yield currently available on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with an equivalent remaining term equal to the expected life of the award. We have not paid any cash dividends on our common stock and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Consequently, we use an expected dividend yield of zero in the Black-Scholes-Merton option valuation model. We use historical data to estimate pre-vesting option forfeitures and record share-based compensation for those awards that are expected to vest. In accordance with SFAS No. 123R, we adjust share-based compensation for changes to the estimate of expected equity award forfeitures based on actual forfeiture experience.
The total intrinsic value of the options exercised during the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 is $94,340, and $2,810,417, respectively. Additionally, the total fair value of shares vested during these periods is $661,611 and $584,818, respectively.
Total stock-based compensation expense recognized in the consolidated statement of earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was $661,611, net of tax effect, excluding $28,456 of expense attributable to MST. Additionally, the aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding and unvested at June 30, 2007 is $2,645,663.

NOTE H - MINORITY INTEREST IN SUBSIDIARY
Minority interest in results of operations of consolidated subsidiaries represents the minority shareholders' share of the income or loss of the consolidated subsidiary MST. The minority interest in the consolidated balance sheet reflects the original investment by these minority shareholders in the consolidated subsidiaries, along with their proportional share of the earnings or losses of the subsidiaries.
On January 31, 2006, the Company acquired a 90% interest in Microwave Satellite Technologies, Inc. (“MST”) from Frank Matarazzo, the sole stockholder of MST in exchange for $1.8 million in cash and 1.6 million unregistered shares of the Company’s common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $9,000,000 (See Note B). This transaction resulted in a minority interest of $19,569, which reflects the original investment by the minority shareholder of MST.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On May 24, 2007, MST merged with a wholly-owned subsidiary of MSTI Holdings, Inc. (formerly Fitness Xpress, Inc. ("FXS")). Immediately following the merger, MSTI Holdings Inc. completed an equity financing of approximately $3.1 million through the private placement of common stock and warrants and a debt financing of approximately $6 million through the private placement of debentures and warrants. These transactions resulted in additional minority interest of $4,576,740 and increased the minority interest from 10% to 37% of MSTI Holding, Inc. outstanding common shares.
For the period ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, the minority shareholder's share of the loss of MST was limited to $188,440 and $19,569, respectively. The minority interest in MST through May 24, 2007 was a deficit and, in accordance with Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, subsidiary losses should not be charged against the minority interest to the extent of reducing it to a negative amount. As such, any losses will be charged against the Company's operations, as majority owner. However, if future earnings do materialize, the majority owner should be credited to the extent of such losses previously absorbed in the amount of $545,745.
Minority interest at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 amount to $4,388,300 and $0, respectively.

NOTE J - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Employment and Consulting Agreements
The Company has employment agreements with certain of its key employees which include non-disclosure and confidentiality provisions for protection of the Company’s proprietary information.
The Company has consulting agreements with outside contractors to provide marketing and financial advisory services. The Agreements are generally for a term of 12 months from inception and renewable automatically from year to year unless either the Company or Consultant terminates such engagement by written notice.
The Company entered into an exclusive financial advisory and consulting agreement in January 2007. The agreement provides for a minimum consideration fee of $250,000, in the event of an equity sale or other financing transaction where the advisor is engaged. The agreement may be terminated with sixty days notification by either party.
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. GRQ holds a Senior Promissory Note issued by Telkonet in the principal amount of $1,500,000. The Note was issued on July 24, 2007 (Note N).
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 (Note E). The Company has concluded that, based upon the weighted average of the Company's common stock between August 16, 2006 and September 13, 2006, the Company is entitled to a refund from the two Noteholders. One of the Noteholders has informed the Company that it does not believe such a refund is required. As a result, the Company has declined to deliver to the Noteholders certain stock purchase warrants issued to them pursuant to the Settlement Agreement pending resolution of this disagreement. The Noteholder has alleged that the Company has failed to satisfy its obligations under the Settlement Agreement by failing to deliver the warrants. In addition, the Noteholder maintains that the Company has breached certain provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement and, as a result of such breach, such Noteholder claims that it is entitled to receive liquidated damages from the Company.
In the Company’s opinion, the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.
Purchase Price Contingency
In conjunction with the acquisition of MST on January 31, 2006, the purchase price contingency shares are price protected for the benefit of the former owner of MST (Note B). In the event the Company’s common stock price is below $4.50 per share upon issuance of the shares from escrow, a pro rata adjustment in the number of shares will be required to support the aggregate consideration of $5.4 million. The price protection provision provides a cash benefit to the former owner of MST if the as-defined market price of the Company’s common stock is less than $4.50 per share at the time of issuance from the escrow. The issuance of additional shares or distribution of other consideration upon resolution of the contingency based on the Company’s common stock prices will not affect the cost of the acquisition. When the contingency is resolved or settled, and additional consideration is distributable, the Company will record the current fair value of the additional consideration and the amount previously recorded for the common stock issued will be simultaneously reduced to the lower current value of the Company’s common stock.
25

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 three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, 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, 2006 filed on March 16, 2007.
Business
Telkonet, Inc., formed in 1999, develops and markets technology for the transmission of high-speed voice, video and data communications over the existing electrical wiring within a building. Telkonet has made definitive inroads into the Powerline communication (PLC) market and established the “leading” position for in-building commercial communication solutions.
Through our indirect subsidiary, MST, we are able to offer quadruple-play (“Quad-Play”) services to multi-tenant unit and multi-dwelling unit (“MDU”) residential, hospitality and commercial properties. These Quad-Play services include video, voice, high-speed internet and wireless fidelity (“Wi-Fi”) access. In addition, MST is also a national ISP and offers a suite of ancillary services including the design, installation and service of satellite and IP based video conferencing and surveillance systems.
As a result of Telkonet's acquisition of Smart Systems International Inc. and EthoStream, LLC, the Company can now provide hospitality owners with a greater return on technology investments. Hotel owners can leverage the Telkonet iWire System™ platform to support wired and wireless Internet access and, in the future, a networked energy management system. With the synergy of Ethostream’s centralized remote monitoring and management platform extending over HSIA, digital video surveillance and energy management, hospitality owners will have a complete technology offering based on Telkonet’s core PLC system as the infrastructure backbone, demonstrating true technology convergence.
The Company’s offices are located at 20374 Seneca Meadows Parkway, Germantown, Maryland 20876. The reports that the Company files pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 can be found at the Company’s web site at www.telkonet.com.
The highlights and business developments for the six months ended June 30, 2007 include the following:
· Consolidated revenue growth of 59% driven by acquisitions, as well as an increase in sales of the Telkonet iWire System™.
· The acquisition of 1,800 hotel customers through the addition of Ethostream to the Telkonet segment in March 2007. As of June 30, 2007, the Company has over 2,000 hotels under management.
· The acquisition of exclusive and patented technology from Smart Systems International, a leading provider of energy management products to customers in the U.S.
· The raising of $10 million through a private placement of 4 million shares of common stock.
· Completion of a merger by MST with a wholly-owned subsidiary of a public shell corporation and a subsequent raise by the public shell corporation of $9.1. million through sales of convertible debentures and a private placement of common stock of the newly formed corporation. Following these transactions, the Company owns approximately 63% of the outstanding shares of MSTI Holdings, Inc. the newly created publicly traded company.
The Company classifies revenue and cost of sales into two categories: product and recurring. Product revenue is defined as products and installation services for the Company’s broadband networks and energy management products. Recurring (lease) revenue is primarily monthly subscription revenue for support and network maintenance contracts for our broadband network platforms and for Quad Play services (as defined below) offered by MST. Product and labor costs directly related to sales are allocated to cost of sales in the period in which they are provided. For management reporting purposes, all other expenses are classified as operating expenses, and are recorded as such in the consolidated statement of operations. The Company reports financial results for the following operating business segments:
28
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Telkonet Segment (“Telkonet”)
The Telkonet segment markets and sells broadband network equipment and solutions, including the Telkonet iWire System™ and wireless network technology, and energy management solutions to commercial resellers, hospitality owners such as hotels and resorts, government and international markets. Through the revolutionary Telkonet iWire System™, Telkonet utilizes proven PLC technology to deliver commercial high-speed Broadband access from an IP “platform” that is easy to deploy, reliable and cost-effective by leveraging a building’s existing electrical infrastructure. The building’s existing electrical wiring becomes the backbone of the local area network, which converts virtually every electrical outlet into a high-speed data port, without the costly installation of additional wiring or major disruption of business activity. Additionally, we provide customer service to our customers through support and maintenance contracts maintained by our centralized remote monitoring and management platform. The Telkonet segment’s net revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 were $3,163,349, and $3,922,712, representing 86% and 80%, respectively, of the Company’s consolidated net revenues.
On March 9, 2007, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of Smart Systems International (SSI), a leading provider of energy management products and solutions to customers in the United States and Canada for cash and Company common stock having an aggregate value of $6,875,000. The purchase price was comprised of $875,000 in cash and 2,227,273 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company was obligated to register the stock portion of the purchase price on or before May 15, 2007. Pursuant to the registration rights agreement, the registration statement was required to be effective no later than July 14, 2007. As of August 9, 2007, the registration statement has not been declared effective. The registration rights agreement does not expressly provide for penalties in the event this deadline is not met.
Of the stock issued in the SSI acquisition, 1,090,909 shares are being held in an escrow account for a period of one year following the closing from which certain potential indemnification obligations under the purchase agreement may be satisfied. The aggregate number of shares held in escrow is 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 15, 2007, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding membership units of Ethostream, LLC, a network solutions integration company that offers installation, sales and service to the hospitality industry. The Ethostream, LLC acquisition will enable Telkonet to provide installation and support for PLC products and third party applications to customers across North America. The purchase price of $11,756,097 was comprised of $2.0 million in cash and 3,459,609 shares of the Company’s common stock. The entire stock portion of the purchase price is being held in escrow 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. If during the twelve months following the Closing, the common stock has a volume-weighted average trading price of at least $4.50, as reported on the American Stock Exchange, for twenty (20) consecutive trading days, the aggregate number of shares of common stock issuable to the sellers shall be adjusted such that the number of shares of common stock issuable as the stock consideration shall be determined assuming a per share price equal to $4.50.
MST Segment (“MST”)
MST is a communications service provider offering Quad-Play services to multi-tenant unit and MDU residential, hospitality and commercial properties. These Quad-Play services include video, voice, high-speed internet and Wi-Fi access. In addition, MST is also a national ISP and offers a suite of ancillary services including the design, installation and service of satellite and IP based video conferencing and surveillance systems.
Revenue for the MST segment is subject to fluctuations due to the timing of sales of high-value products and service projects, the impact of seasonal spending patterns, the timing and size of research projects its customers perform, changes in overall spending levels in the telecommunication industry and other unpredictable factors that may affect customer ordering patterns. Any significant delays in the commercial launch or any lack or delay of commercial acceptance of new products, unfavorable sales trends in existing product lines, or impacts from the other factors mentioned above, could adversely affect revenue growth or cause a sequential decline in quarterly revenue. Due to the possibility of fluctuations in revenue and net income or loss, quarterly comparisons of MST’s operating results are not necessarily indicative of future performance. Net sales for this segment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 were $503,258, and $990,164, representing 14% and 20%, respectively, of the Company’s consolidated net revenues.
29
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On May 24, 2007, the MST was merged into a wholly-owned subsidiary of MSTI Holdings, Inc. (formerly Fitness Xpress, Inc. ("FXS")), an inactive publicly registered shell corporation with no significant assets or operations. As a result of the merger, there was a change in control of the public shell corporation. In accordance with SFAS No. 141, MST was the acquiring entity. While the transaction is accounted for using the purchase method of accounting, in substance the transaction represents a recapitalization of the MST’s capital structure. For accounting purposes, the Company accounted for the transaction as a reverse acquisition with MST as the surviving entity. MST did not recognize goodwill or any intangible assets in connection with the transaction. In connection with the acquisition, the Company’s 90% interest in MST was exchanged for a 63% interest in MSTI Holdings, Inc..
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 “Trends, Risks and Uncertainties”, 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 Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, Revenue Recognition (“SAB104”), which superceded Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements (“SAB101”). SAB 101 requires that four basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred; (3) the selling price is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectibility is reasonably assured. Determination of criteria (3) and (4) are based on management’s judgments regarding the fixed nature of the selling prices of the products delivered and the collectibility of those amounts. Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances, and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded. The Company defers any revenue for which the product has not been delivered or is subject to refund until such time that the Company and the customer jointly determine that the product has been delivered or no refund will be required. SAB 104 incorporates Emerging Issues Task Force 00-21 (“EITF 00-21”), Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements. EITF 00-21 addresses accounting for arrangements that may involve the delivery or performance of multiple products, services and/or rights to use assets.
30
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For equipment under lease, revenue is recognized over the lease term for operating lease and rental contracts. All of the Company’s leases are accounted for as operating leases. At the inception of the lease, no lease revenue is recognized and the leased equipment and installation costs are capitalized and appear on the balance sheet as “Equipment Under Operating Leases.” The capitalized cost of this equipment is depreciated from two to three years, on a straight-line basis down to the Company’s original estimate of the projected value of the equipment at the end of the scheduled lease term. Monthly lease payments are recognized as rental income. For sales-type leases, we record the discounted present values of minimum rental payments under sales-type leases as sales.
MST accounts for the revenue, costs and expense related to residential cable services as the related services are performed in accordance with SFAS No. 51, Financial Reporting by Cable Television Companies. Installation revenue for residential cable services is recognized to the extent of direct selling costs incurred. Direct selling costs have exceeded installation revenue in all reported periods. Generally, credit risk is managed by disconnecting services to customers who are delinquent. The capitalized cost of this equipment is depreciated from three to ten years, on a straight-line basis down to the Company’s original estimate of the projected value of the equipment at the end of the scheduled lease term and appears on the balance sheet in “Equipment Under Operating Leases.”.
Management identifies a delinquent customer based upon the delinquent payments status of an outstanding invoice, generally greater than 30 days past the due date. The delinquent account designation does not trigger an accounting transaction until such time the account is deemed uncollectible.
Guarantees and Product Warranties
FASB Interpretation No. 45, “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others” (“FIN 45”), requires that upon issuance of a guarantee, the guarantor must disclose and recognize a liability for the fair value of the obligation it assumes under that guarantee.
The Company’s guarantees were issued subject to the recognition and disclosure requirements of FIN 45 as of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006. The Company records a liability for potential warranty claims. The amount of the liability is based on the trend in the historical ratio of claims to sales, the historical length of time between the sale and resulting warranty claim, new product introductions and other factors. The products sold are generally covered by a warranty for a period of one year. In the event the Company determines that its current or future product repair and replacement costs exceed its estimates, an adjustment to these reserves would be charged to earnings in the period such determination is made. During the six months ended June 30, 2007 and the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company experienced approximately three percent of units returned under its product warranty policy. As of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the Company recorded warranty liabilities in the amount of $57,598 and $31,200, respectively, using this experience factor.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.” SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments, and certain other items, at fair value. SFAS 159 applies to reporting periods beginning after November 15, 2007. The adoption of SFAS 159 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.
Revenues
The Company’s revenue consists of product sales and a recurring (lease) model in the commercial, government and international markets of the Telkonet Segment including activity for SSI and Ethostream from the date of acquisition through June 30, 2007. The MST Segment revenue consists of Quad-Play services provided to a subscriber portfolio of MDU properties with bulk service agreements and/or access licenses to service the individual subscribers in metropolitan New York. The MST Segment is included in revenue since the acquisition of MST on January 31, 2006.

Product revenue
The Telkonet Segment product revenue principally arises from the sale and installation of the broadband networking and energy management equipment, including the Telkonet iWire System™ to commercial resellers, and the hospitality, government and international markets. Product revenue in the Telkonet Segment increased by approximately $1,964,000 and $1,132,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, including approximately $703,000 and $771,000 attributed to the sale of energy management products, and approximately $1,281,000 and $1,429,000 of products and services to the hospitality market. Additionally, revenues generated in the government market were approximately $376,000 and $424,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, and were related to site evaluations and initial deployments of certain government installations. We anticipate an upward trend of quarterly growth in the hospitality, energy management and government markets of the Telkonet segment through the remainder of 2007 based upon planned opportunities.
The MST Segment product revenue consists of equipment, installations and ancillary services provided to customers independent of the subscriber model. Product revenue in this segment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 was approximately $108,000 and $168,000, respectively.
Recurring (lease) Revenue
The increase in recurring revenue in the Telkonet segment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, reflects the addition of Ethostream’s hospitality portfolio in March 2007. During the six months ended June 30, 2007, we added approximately 1,800 hotels to our broadband network portfolio, and currently support over 170,000 HSIA rooms, resulting in additional recurring revenue of $512,000 and $565,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007. Telkonet segment on-going monthly recurring revenue is approximately $200,000 and we anticipate growth to our subscriber base as we deploy additional sites under contract in the hospitality and government markets.

Product Costs
The Telkonet Segment product costs for the Telkonet iWire SystemTM product suite include equipment and installation labor related to the sale of networking equipment. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, product costs increased by approximately $1,690,000 and $1,180,000, respectively, for the Telkonet Segment in conjunction with the increased sales to the hospitality, energy management and government markets.

Recurring (lease) Costs
The Telkonet segment recurring costs increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the prior year period with the addition of Ethostream’s infrastructure to support the hospitality portfolio including an internal call center.
MST segment recurring costs primarily represent customer support, programming and amortization of the capitalized costs to support the subscriber revenue. Although MST's programming fees are a significant portion of the cost, MST continues to pursue competitive agreements and volume discounts in conjunction with the anticipated growth of the subscriber base. The customer support costs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 include build-out of the support services necessary to develop and support the build-out of the Quad-Play subscriber base in metropolitan New York. The capitalized costs are amortized over the lease term and include equipment and installation labor.

Product Gross Profit
The gross profit for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 increased compared to the prior year period as a resulting of product sales and installations in the Telkonet Segment and represented 26% and 28% of product revenue, respectively. We anticipate an increase in gross profit trend for product sales as energy management and government markets opportunities expand. Additionally, the integration of acquired companies has resulted in opportunities to internalize installation services and streamline processes.
Recurring (lease) Gross Profit
Telkonet Segment gross profit associated with recurring (lease) revenue increased for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2007 by approximately $456,000 and $330,000, respectively. The centralized remote monitoring and management platform and internal call support center will provide the platform to maintain and expand gross profit for the Telkonet recurring revenue.
The MST segment gross margins decreased by approximately $216,000 and $540,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively, compared to the prior year, primarily due to programming costs and the support infrastructure. MST anticipates an expanded subscriber base over the current infrastructure and reduced programming costs through mediums such as IPTV will facilitate increased gross profit.

Overall expenses increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 over the comparable period in 2006 by approximately $729,000 and $1,672,000 or 16% and 19%. The principal reasons for this increase were operating costs related to the build-out of the Quad Play subscriber infrastructure through the MST segment. Additionally, the Telkonet operating expenses increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 due to the operating costs of the acquired businesses of approximately $943,000 and $1,135,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively. Additionally, the Telkonet operating expenses increase for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively, due to increased administrative costs, a loss on the sub-lease of the Crystal City, VA office space and increased sales and marketing expenses. We expect quarterly operating expenses as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2007 to decrease for the remainder of 2007 as the integration of the acquired businesses to provide for certain operating efficiencies.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 over the comparable prior year by $497,455 or 13%, and $1,665,523 or 24%. This increase is attributed to the administrative expenses such as payroll related costs of approximately $207,000 and $540,000, advertising, tradeshows and other costs of approximately $4,000 and $159,000 and professional fees of $196,000 and $537,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively. Additionally, the acquisitions of SSI and Ethostream amounted to additional costs of $782,000 and $944,000, respectively. Prior year expenses related to the amortization and write-off of financing fees $435,000 and $535,000 partially offset the overall change. We expect quarterly selling, general and administrative expenses as compared to the three months ending June 30, 2007 to decrease for the remainder of 2007 as the integration of the acquired businesses to provide for certain operating efficiencies.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Backlog
In conjunction with the acquisition of Ethostream on March 15, 2007, the Telkonet Segment maintains contracts and monthly services for more than 1900 hotels which are expected to generate approximately $2,400,000 annual recurring support and internet advertising revenue. Additionally, Telkonet has been contracted to deploy the Telkonet iWire SystemTM at 50 properties for a major resort company, which deployment represents revenue of approximately $1,100,000 over a 3 year term.
In conjunction with the acquisition of Smart Systems International on March 9, 2007, Telkonet assumed certain purchase orders relating to a major utilities energy management initiative provided through the two selected providers. The current order backlog amounts to approximately $1,052,000 and the estimated remaining program value amounts to $3,000,000 for products and services to be provided through 2008.
The MST subscriber portfolio includes approximately 20 MDU properties with bulk service agreements and/or access licenses to service the individual subscribers in metropolitan New York. The remaining terms of the access agreements provide MST access rights from 7 to 15 years with the final agreement expiring in 2016 and the revenues to be recognized under non-cancelable bulk agreements provide a minimum of $2,100,000 in revenue through 2013.

Convertible Senior Notes- MSTI
During the six months ended June 30, 2007, MSTI Holdings Inc., a majority-owned subsidiary of Telkonet, issued senior convertible debentures (the "Debentures") having a principal value of $6,576,350, plus an original issue discount of $526,350, in exchange for $6,050,000 from investors, exclusive of placement fees. The original issue discount to the Debentures is amortized over 36 months. The Debentures accrue interest at 8% per annum commencing on the first anniversary of the original issue date of the Debentures, payable quarterly in cash or common stock, at MSTI Holdings Inc.’s option, and mature on April 30, 2010. The Debentures are not callable and are convertible at a conversion price of $0.65 per share into 10,117,462 shares of MSTI Holdings Inc. common stock, subject to certain limitations.
In connection with the placement of the Debentures, MSTI Holdings Inc. has also agreed to issue to the Noteholders, five-year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 5,058,730 shares of MSTI Holdings Inc. common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share. In connection with the issuance of the Debentures, we incurred placement fees of $423,500. Additionally, MSTI Holdings Inc. issued such agents five-year warrants to purchase 708,222 shares of MSTI Holdings Inc. common stock at an exercise price of $1.00.
Convertible Senior Notes
In October 2005, the Company completed an offering of convertible senior notes (the “Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of $20 million. The capital raised in the Note offering was used for general working capital purposes. The Notes bore interest at a rate of 7.25%, payable in cash, and called for monthly principal installments beginning March 1, 2006. The maturity date was 3 years from the date of issuance of the Notes. The Noteholders were entitled, at any time, to convert any portion of the outstanding and unpaid Conversion Amount into shares of Company common stock. At the option of the Company, the principal payments could be paid either in cash or in common stock. Upon conversion into common stock, the value of the stock was determined by the lower of $5 or 92.5% of the average recent market price. The Company also issued one million warrants to the Noteholders exercisable for five years at $5 per share. At any time after six months, should the stock trade at or above $8.75 for 20 of 30 consecutive trading days, the Company could cause a mandatory redemption and conversion to shares at $5 per share. At any time, the Company was entitled to pre-pay the notes with cash or common stock. If the Company elected to use common stock to pre-pay the Notes, the price of the common stock would be deemed to be the lower of $5 or 92.5% of the average recent market price. If the Company prepaid the Notes other than by mandatory conversion, the Company was obligated to issue additional warrants to the Noteholders covering 65% of the amount pre-paid at a strike price of $5 per share. In addition to standard financial covenants, the Company agreed to maintain a letter of credit in favor of the Noteholders equal to $10 million. Once the principal amount outstanding on the notes declined below $15 million, the balance on the letter of credit was reduced by $.50 for every $1 amortized.
These notes were repaid on August 14, 2006 as discussed in greater detail below under “Early Extinguishment of Debt.”
Principal Payments of Debt
For the period end March 31, 2006, the Company paid principal of $1,250,000 and interest of $358,724 in cash. The Company amortized the debt discount to the beneficial conversion feature and value of the attached warrants, and recorded non-cash interest expense in the amount of $239,943 and $121,586, respectively.
Early Extinguishment of Debt
On August 14, 2006, the Company executed separate settlement agreements with the lenders of its Notes. Pursuant to the settlement agreements the Company paid to the lenders in the aggregate $9,910,392 plus accrued but unpaid interest of $23,951 and certain premiums specified in the Notes in satisfaction of the amounts then outstanding under the Notes. Of the amount to be paid to the lenders under the Notes, $6,500,000 was paid in cash through a drawdown on a letter of credit previously pledged as collateral for the Company’s obligations under the Notes. The remaining note balance of $1,428,314 and a Redemption Premium of $1,982,078, calculated as 25% of remaining principal, was paid to the lenders in shares of Company’s common stock valued at the lower of $5.00 per share and 92.5% of the arithmetic average of the weighted average price of the Company’s common stock on the American Stock Exchange for the twenty trading days beginning on August 16, 2006. The Company also issued 862,452 warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at the exercise price of the lower of $2.58 per share and 92.5% of the average trading price as described above. The Company has accounted for the Redemption Premium and the additional warrants issued as non-cash early extinguishment of debt expense during the year ended December 31, 2006.
37
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As a result of the execution of the settlement agreements and the payments required thereby, the Company fully repaid and believes it satisfied all of its obligations under the Notes. The Company also agreed to pay the expenses of the lenders incurred in connection with the negotiation and execution of the settlement agreements. The settlement agreements were negotiated following the allegation by one of the lenders that the Company’s failure to meet the minimum revenue test for the period ending June 30, 2006 as specified on the Notes may have constituted an event of default under the Notes, which allegation the Company disputed.
In conjunction with the settlement agreement, the Company recorded $4,626,679 of loss from early extinguishment of debt, which consists of $1,982,078 redemption premium paid with the Company’s common stock, $1,014,934 of additional warrants issued to the lenders, write-off of the remaining unamortized debt discount attributed to the beneficial conversion feature and the value of the attached warrants in the amount of $430,040 and $845,143, respectively, and write-off the remaining unamortized financing costs of $354,484.
The settlement agreements provide 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 agreements pending resolution of this disagreement. One of the noteholders 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. As of May 1, 2007, no legal claim has been filed by the noteholder.
Acquisition of Microwave Satellite Technologies, Inc.
On January 31, 2006, the Company acquired a 90% interest in MST from Frank Matarazzo, the sole stockholder of MST in exchange for $1.8 million in cash and 1.6 million unregistered shares of the Company’s common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $9,000,000. The 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 which will be held in escrow, 400,000 shares of which were paid at closing and the remaining 1,200,000 shares of which shall be issued based on the achievement of 3,300 “Triple Play” subscribers over a three year period. In the period ended December 31, 2006, the Company issued 200,000 shares of the purchase price contingency valued at $900,000 as an adjustment to goodwill. In the event the Company’s common stock price is below $4.50 per share upon issuance of the shares from escrow, a pro rata adjustment in the number of shares will be required to support the aggregate consideration of $5.4 million. As of March 31, 2007, the Company’s common stock price was below $4.50. To the extent that the market price of Company’s common stock is below $4.50 per share upon issuance of the shares from escrow, the number of shares issuable on conversion is ratably increased, which could result in further dilution of the Company’s stockholders.
38
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 Company was obligated to register the stock portion of the purchase price on or before May 15, 2007. Pursuant to the registration rights agreement, the registration statement was required to be effective no later than July 14, 2007. As of August 9, 2007, the registration statement has not been declared effective. The registration rights agreement does not expressly provide for penalties in the event this deadline is not met.
Of the stock issued in the transaction, 1,090,909 shares are being held in an escrow account for a period of one year following the closing from which certain potential indemnification obligations under the purchase agreement may be satisfied. The aggregate number of shares held in escrow is 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.
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 entire stock portion of the purchase price is being held in escrow 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. The aggregate number of shares issuable to the sellers is subject to downward adjustment in the event the Company’s common stock trades at or above a price of $4.50 per share for twenty consecutive trading days during the one year period following the closing.

The remainder related to computer equipment and peripherals used in day-to-day operations. The Company anticipates significant expenditures in the MST Segment to continue the build-out the head-end equipment, IPTV and other related projects. The Telkonet segment does not anticipate the sale or purchase of any significant property, plant or equipment during the next twelve months, other than the purchase of computer equipment and peripherals to be used in the Company’s day-to-day operations.
In April 2005, the Company entered into a three-year lease agreement for 6,742 square feet of commercial office space in Crystal City, Virginia. Pursuant to this lease, the Company agreed to assume a portion of the build-out cost for this facility. In February 2007, the Company agreed to sub-lease the Crystal City, Virginia office through the remaining term of the contract resulting in a loss of approximately $192,000.
MST presently leases 12,600 square feet of commercial office space in Hawthorne, New Jersey for its office and warehouse spaces. This lease will expire in April 2010.
Following the acquisitions of Smart Systems International and Ethostream, the Company assumed leases on 9,000 square feet of office space in Las Vegas, NV for Smart Systems International on a month to month basis and 4,100 square feet of office space in Milwaukee, WI for Ethostream. The Ethostream lease expires in May 2011.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
Short Term Investments
We held no marketable securities as of March 31, 2007. 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.
Investments in Privately Held Companies
We have invested in privately held companies, which are in the startup or development stages. These investments are inherently risky because the markets for the technologies or products these companies are developing are typically in the early stages and may never materialize. As a result, we could lose our entire initial investment in these companies. In addition, we could also be required to hold our investment indefinitely, since there is presently no public market in the securities of these companies and none is expected to develop. These investments are carried at cost, which as of August 1, 2007 was $131,044 and $8,000 in BPL Global and Amperion, respectively, and at June 30, 2007, are recorded in other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
As of June 30, 2007, the Company performed an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Vice President Finance (Principal Accounting Officer), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a - 15(e) or 15d - 15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Vice President Finance concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information required to be included in the Company’s periodic filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. During the six months ended June 30, 2007, 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.
None.
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.
41
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Since inception through June 30, 2007, the Company has incurred cumulative losses of $80,399,914 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 $17.1 million at June 30, 2007 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.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
None.
Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities.
None.
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
None.
Item 5. Other Information.
None.

Verified it with the company?
no problem Jeff..
I said it with certainty---because I DID verify it...and if it does not happen, I was lied to....it is not the end of the SEC day, yet--sometimes things take until 5pm....hang in there...
They dont have to file today, they gave a date range of Aug 10 - Aug 20.
jeez, sirius. You've been saying with certainty it was today. I thought you must have called the company to ask them. There's nothing that says that have to do it today.
BSD
Look at the SEC calendar guideliens...TKO is required to file by today--
I am still showing Aug 10 to Aug 20 as the range that earnings are supposed to be released, so I am not expected we see them today.
I think this weeks action is certainly a tell, I hope!

Telkonet’s patented powerline communications (PLC) systems – the Telkonet iWire System and next generation 200 Mbps Telkonet Series 5 – use a building’s existing internal electrical wiring to enable Internet connectivity throughout an entire building, converting electrical outlets into high-speed data ports. This is an ideal solution for properties that are not wired with CAT-5 or where CAT-5 is cost-prohibitive.
The EthoStream Gateway Server (EGS) product line of gateway devices, which are developed in-house, deliver wired or wireless high-speed Internet access, integrating easily with any combination of WAN connections. The EGS products range from a cost-effective gateway for limited use applications to a feature-rich, dual-WAN, scalable gateway for full-service properties.
Telkonet’s energy management systems, Telkonet SmartEnergy (TSE) and Networked Telkonet SmartEnergy (NTSE), reduce in-room energy consumption by controlling heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) usage based on occupancy. By eliminating unnecessary heating and cooling of vacant rooms, TSE typically reduces energy consumption by 30% or greater.
Telkonet’s proactive support center brings quality of service to a new level with its dedicated, in-house employees, 24/7/365 support, and integrated proactive monitoring and management tools that put property management in control. By integrating the EthoStream Gateway Server and the web-based Telkonet CENTRAL, our in-house support team has real-time visibility into a property’s HSIA usage and data, as well as ISP status.
Telkonet SmartEnergy™ (TSE) controls HVAC usage and improves energy efficiency by adjusting and maintaining a room’s temperature based on occupancy, using a combination of occupancy sensors, intelligent programmable thermostats or packaged terminal air conditioner (PTAC) controllers. TSE eliminates wasteful heating and cooling of vacant rooms without compromising an occupant’s comfort based on our patented Recovery Time™ technology.
Building on the proven capabilities of the TSE system and incorporating Telkonet's unique Recovery Time™ technology, our new Networked Telkonet SmartEnergy (NTSE) advances intelligent HVAC building control with a flexible, resilient and low-cost energy management platform. NTSE utilizes a ZigBee wireless IEE802.15.4 “mesh” network, where each device functions as a wireless repeater and enables energy management thermostats to communicate with each other and aggregate communications up to a single master NTSE Gateway Server on site. NTSE enables central control without needing expensive back-haul wiring. Its key monitoring and analysis features ensure optimum energy savings, giving property owners the tools to identify and implement energy savings, providing total visibility and detailed data about a property's HVAC system and its energy consumption, together with real-time, instant remote management capabilities.
Key features and benefits of NTSE
Telkonet’s proprietary, patented powerline communications (PLC) products harness a building’s internal electrical wiring to form an IP network, turning power outlets into data ports, while leaving the electrical functionality unaffected. Telkonet’s PLC systems – the Telkonet iWire System and the 200 Mbps Telkonet Series 5 – represent a quick, economical, and non-disruptive way to achieve high-speed Internet connectivity throughout a building. Telkonet’s PLC systems offer the hard-wired security and reliability of a CAT-5 cabled network, but without the cost, physical disturbance and business disruption of wiring CAT-5. For properties looking to provide wireless coverage, Telkonet’s systems can be used to feed WiFi access points, which can be connected quickly and simply to any power outlet.
Series 5 Comparison “With 209 sites and limited numbers of IT technicians, we needed a reliable, plug-and-play system that was easy to install, maintain and operate. With Telkonet’s solution, we demonstrated that our own IT staff and contract electricians could install the system…”
Steve Custer, Supervisor CCTV/LAN Networking and A.V. Repair, Hillsborough County School District (SDHC)
