PART III — NARRATIVE

State below in reasonable detail why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-SAR, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.

Telkonet, Inc. (the “Company”) is unable to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 (the “Form 10-K”) by the March 31, 2017 due date for such report. As disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 31, 2017, the Company completed the sale of the assets and certain liabilities of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, EthoStream LLC, to DCI-Design Communications LLC on March 29, 2017 (the “Divestiture”). The Form 10-K will be the Company’s first annual filing since the completion of the Divestiture. Accordingly, the Company requires additional time to complete certain disclosures and analyses to be included in the Form 10-K in relation to the Divestiture. The Company is therefore unable to file its 10-K within the prescribed time period. The Company is working diligently to complete the Form 10-K and file it with the SEC. In accordance with Rule 12b-25 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the Company will file its Form 10-K no later than the fifteenth calendar day following the prescribed due date.

If answer is no, identify report(s).
