NOTE A - SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
- ---------------------------------------
General
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-QSB, and therefore, do not
include all the information necessary for a fair presentation of financial
position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The
results from developmental stage operations for the three-month period ended
March 31 ,2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
expected for the year ended December 31, 2002. The unaudited consolidated
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
December 31, 2001 financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the
Company's SEC Form 10-KSB.
The Registrant began operations on November 3, 1999, and accordingly, income
statements and statements of cash flows for the comparable periods of the
preceding fiscal years have not been presented.
NOTE B-BUSINESS COMBINATION
- ---------------------------
On August 25, 2000, Telkonet Communications, Inc. ("TCI") completed an Agreement
and Plan of Reorganization ("Agreement") with Comstock Coal Company, Inc.
("Comstock") in a transaction accounted for using the purchase method of
accounting. The total purchase price and carrying value of net assets acquired
from Comstock was $ 1. From Comstock's inception, until the date of the merger,
Comstock was an inactive corporation with no assets and liabilities. As a result
of the acquisition, there was a change in control of the public entity.
Subsequent to the date of the merger, Comstock Coal Company, Inc. changed its
name to Telkonet, Inc. ("Company"), with Telkonet Communications, Inc. becoming
a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
Effective with the Agreement, all previously outstanding common stock, preferred
stock, options and warrants owned by former Comstock stockholders were exchanged
for an aggregate of 1,980,000 shares of Telkonet Communications, Inc.'s common
stock. The value of the stock that was issued was the historical cost of
Comstock's net tangible assets, which did not differ materially from their fair
value. The results of operations subsequent to the date of acquisition are
included in the Company's consolidated statement of losses. In accordance with
Accounting Principles Opinion No. 16, Telkonet Communications, Inc. is the
acquiring entity.

acquired.
NOTE C- BASIS OF PRESENTATION
- -----------------------------
Telkonet Communications, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Telkonet, Inc.,
formerly Comstock Coal Company, Inc., was formed on November 3, 1999 under the
laws of the state of Delaware. Telkonet Communications, Inc. is a development
stage enterprise, as defined by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
7 ("SFAS 7") and is seeking to develop, produce and market proprietary equipment
enabling the transmission of voice and data over electric utility lines. From
its inception through the date of these financial statements the Telkonet
Communications, Inc. has recognized no revenues and has incurred significant
operating expenses.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, and
its wholly owned subsidiary, Telkonet Communications, Inc. Significant
intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
NOTE D - RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCMENTS
- ----------------------------------------
In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, "Business Combinations" (SFAS No.
141), and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, "Goodwill and
Other Intangible Assets" (SFAS No. 142). The FASB also issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 143, "Accounting for Obligations Associated
with the Retirement of Long-Lived Assets" (SFAS No. 143), and Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 144,"Accounting for the Impairment or
Disposal of Long-Lived Assets"(SFAS No. 144), in August and October 2001,
respectively.
SFAS No. 141 requires the purchase method of accounting for business
combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 and eliminates the
pooling-of-interest method. The adoption of SFAS No. 141 had no material impact
on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

NOTE D - RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCMENTS
- ----------------------------------------
Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted SFAS No. 142. Under the new
rules, the Company will no longer amortize goodwill and other intangible assets
with indefinite lives, but such assets will be subject to periodic testing for
impairment. On an annual basis, and when there is reason to suspect that their
values have been diminished or impaired, these assets must be tested for
impairment, and write-downs to be included in results from operations may be
necessary. SFAS No. 142 also requires the Company to complete a transitional
goodwill impairment test six months from the date of adoption.
Any goodwill impairment loss recognized as a result of the transitional goodwill
impairment test will be recorded as a cumulative effect of a change in
accounting principle no later than the end of fiscal year 2002. The adoption of
SFAS No. 142 had no material impact on the Company's consolidated financial
statements.
SFAS No. 143 establishes accounting standards for the recognition and
measurement of an asset retirement obligation and its associated asset
retirement cost. It also provides accounting guidance for legal obligations
associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets. SFAS No. 143 is
effective in fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002, with early adoption
permitted. The Company expects that the provisions of SFAS No. 143 will not have
a material impact on its consolidated results of operations and financial
position upon adoption. The Company plans to adopt SFAS No. 143 effective
January 1, 2003.
SFAS No. 144 establishes a single accounting model for the impairment or
disposal of long-lived assets, including discontinued operations. SFAS No. 144
superseded Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for
the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of"
(SFAS No. 121), and APB Opinion No. 30, "Reporting the Results of Operations -
Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary,
Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions". The Company adopted
SFAS No. 144 effective January 1,2002. The adoption of SFAS No. 144 had no
material impact on Company's consolidated financial statements.

Item 2. Management's Plan of Operation
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Company's
Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto, included elsewhere within
this Report.
Description of the Company
- --------------------------
Telkonet is a high technology systems application developer with a primary focus
on high speed Internet distribution over the electrical power lines for the
commercial and the multi-dwelling residential markets. Telkonet believes that
through extensive research and development, it has refined a business model that
will provide marketable Internet services across a wide spectrum of commercial
and business end users.
Telkonet has designed and constructed its third generation of power line
communication products to provide high speed Internet access to office
buildings, hotels, schools, shopping malls, commercial buildings, and
multi-dwelling units. These products provide connectivity over the existing
electrical wiring and do not require the addition of costly wiring, or major
disruption to business activity.
In many situations the Telkonet system can be implemented more quickly and less
expensively than adding dedicated wiring or installing wireless systems.
Telkonet believes that utilizing the power line to deliver Internet and
telephony connectivity for the commercial and the multi-dwelling residential
markets creates a significant and definitive niche market opportunity for
Telkonet. Telkonet's solutions overcome many of the difficulties associated with
power-line communications that historically have prevented the achievement of
high data transmission rates.
Telkonet is now at a point in its business development cycle at which the system
requirements and hardware have been developed, and the Company is ready to bring
to market its suite of PlugFast products for high-speed Internet access.
As Internet access becomes a more critical tool, the demand for higher access
speeds has triggered the growth of broadband solutions, and as these roll out,
the desire for access to these emerging broadband networks provides
opportunities for Telkonet. The built-in dial-up modems that have become a part
of most new PCs are not suitable for higher speed connections. Hardwired network
connections with high construction costs and disruption of the workplace, or
complex wireless networks which have coverage and security issues are the only
solutions available today.
The Telkonet PlugFast family of Internet access products provides a viable and
cost effective alternative to the challenges of hard-wired and wireless local
area networks (LANs). This solution set is comprised of two products, the
PLUGFAST GATEWAY and the PLUGFAST TERMINAL.
The Telkonet PlugFast Gateway and Terminal are aimed at multi-user applications
such as residential apartment complexes, hotels and motels, and a variety of
small and medium sized businesses. High-speed Internet connections are becoming
widely available and providers are anxious to sell these connections to their
new and existing customers. Several companies now specialize in providing T1
access and most telephone companies now offer DSL products.
10
Providers are also offering connectivity through Microwave networks, 2-way
Satellite, Fiber and Cable connections. However, these products share in the
same problem: getting the access to where the customers want it.
The Telkonet solution interfaces to the backbone of the Internet by taking the
signal from any of these broadband sources and, through the Telkonet PlugFast
Gateway, distributing access to the Internet to the ultimate user over the
existing electrical wiring in the building. With the Telkonet PlugFast Gateway
in place, access is provided by simply plugging the user's Telkonet PlugFast
Terminal into the nearest standard electrical outlet. Any existing electrical
outlet in the structure can provide immediate access to the Internet via a
Telkonet PlugFast Terminal. Moving the location of a PC, server, or printer is
accomplished by simply moving the PlugFast Terminal to another electrical
outlet. No additional wiring is required and changes can be made quickly and
easily.
The Telkonet PlugFast Gateway provides the connection to the incoming broadband
signal (DSL, TL, Satellite, Cable Modem) and the Telkonet PlugFast Terminal
connects to a user device. Many PCs, each equipped with one Telkonet PlugFast
Terminal, can communicate amongst themselves and can share a single broadband
resource via the Telkonet PlugFast Gateway.
Telkonet has applied for patents that cover its unique technology, and intends
to utilize recently announced advancements in transmission speeds to build next
generation devices for field tests and marketing demonstrations.
Telkonet will continue to identify, design and develop enhancements to its core
technologies that will provide additional functionality, diversification of
application and desirability for current and future users.
Forward Looking Statements
- --------------------------
CERTAIN STATEMENTS INCLUDED HEREIN OR INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE CONSTITUTE
"FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS" WITHIN THE MEANING OF THE PRIVATE SECURITIES
LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995 (THE "REFORM ACT"). TELKONET DESIRES TO TAKE
ADVANTAGE OF CERTAIN "SAFE HARBOR" PROVISIONS OF THE REFORM ACT AND IS INCLUDING
THIS SPECIAL NOTE TO ENABLE THE COMPANY TO DO SO. FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
INCLUDED OR INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE IN THIS PART INVOLVE KNOWN AND UNKNOWN
RISKS, UNCERTAINTIES AND OTHER FACTORS WHICH COULD CAUSE THE COMPANY'S ACTUAL
RESULTS, PERFORMANCE (FINANCIAL OR OPERATING) OR ACHIEVEMENTS TO DIFFER
MATERIALLY FROM THE FUTURE RESULTS, PERFORMANCE (FINANCIAL OR OPERATING) OR
ACHIEVEMENTS EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED BY SUCH FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS.
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
Operations
- ----------
Telkonet is still a development stage company and is yet to earn revenues from
operations. Telkonet may experience fluctuations in operating results in future
periods due to a variety of factors including, but not limited to, market
acceptance of the Internet and power line communication technologies as a medium
for customers to purchase the Telkonet's products, Telkonet's ability to acquire
and deliver high quality products at a price lower than currently available to
consumers, Telkonet's ability to obtain additional financing in a timely manner
and on terms favorable to the Telkonet, Telkonet's ability to successfully
attract customers at a steady rate and maintain customer satisfaction, Telkonet
promotions, branding and sales programs, the amount and timing of operating
costs and capital expenditures relating to the expansion of the Telkonet's
business, operations and infrastructure and the implementation of marketing
programs, key agreements and strategic alliances, the number of products offered
11
by the Telkonet, the number of returns experienced by the Telkonet, and general
economic conditions specific to the Internet, power-line communications, and the
communications industry.
Revenues
- --------
Telkonet generated no revenues from operations from its inception. Telkonet
believes it will begin earning revenues from operations within the next twelve
months as it transitions from a development stage company to that of an active
growth and acquisition stage company.
Costs and expenses
- ------------------
>From its inception on November 3, 1999 through March 31, 2002, Telkonet has not
generated any revenues. Telkonet has incurred expenses of $ 3,521,711 during
this period. These expenses were associated principally with compensation to
employees, product development costs and professional services. During the first
quarter of 2002, expenses increased by 118% over the first quarter of 2001 due
to increase in manpower expense from the expansion of the core technical team,
development activity associated with the completion of Telkonet's third
generation power line systems for both high speed Internet distribution and
telephony, the beginning of the system demonstration phase, and an increase in
sales and marketing activities.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
As of March 31, 2002, Telkonet had working capital deficit of $ 674,536. As a
result of the Telkonet's operating losses from its inception through March 31,
2002, Telkonet generated a cash flow deficit of
$ 2,399,345 from operating activities. Cash flows from financing totaled $
413,507 during the period January 1,2002 through March 31, 2002. Telkonet met
its cash requirements during this period through the receipt of $ 114,000 in
shareholder advances and the issuance of $358,800 of convertible debt.
While Telkonet has raised capital to meet its working capital and financing
needs in the past, additional financing is required in order to meet the
Telkonet's current and projected cash flow deficits from operations and
development. Telkonet is seeking financing in the form of equity investment in
order to provide the necessary working capital. Telkonet currently has no
commitments for financing. There are no assurances Telkonet will be successful
in raising the funds required.
The Company's independent certified public accountants have stated in their
report included in the Company's December 31, 2001 Form 10-KSB, that the Company
has incurred operating losses in the last two years, and that the Company is
dependent upon management's ability to develop profitable operations. These
factors among others may raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to
continue as a going concern.
Product Research and Development
- --------------------------------
Company-sponsored research and development costs related to both present and
future products are expended in the period incurred. Total expenditures on
research and product development for the first quarter of 2002 were $ 120,671
compared to $ 112,291 for the first quarter of 2001.
Acquisition or Disposition of Plant and Equipment
- -------------------------------------------------
Telkonet does not anticipate the sale of any significant property, plant or
equipment during the next twelve months. Telkonet does not anticipate the
acquisition of any significant property, plant or equipment during the next 12
months, other than computer equipment and peripherals used in the Telkonet's
day-to-day operations.
12
Number of Employees
- -------------------
During the period ended March 31, 2002, the Company had 10 employees. In order
for the Company to attract and retain quality personnel, the Company anticipates
it will continue to offer competitive salaries to current and future employees.
As the Company continues to expand, the Company will incur additional costs for
personnel. This projected increase in personnel is dependent upon the Company
generating revenues and obtaining sources of financing. There are no assurances
the Company will be successful in raising the funds required or generating
revenues sufficient to fund the projected increase in the number of employees.
Trends, Risks and Uncertainties
- -------------------------------
Telkonet has sought to identify what it believes to be the most significant
risks to its business, but cannot predict whether or to what extent any of such
risks may be realized nor can there be any assurances that Telkonet has
identified all possible risks that might arise. Investors should carefully
consider all of such risk factors before making an investment decision with
respect to the Company's stock. Telkonet's prospects must be evaluated with a
view to the risks encountered by a company in an early stage of development,
particularly in light of the uncertainties relating to the new and evolving
power line modulation and transmission technologies. Telkonet will be incurring
costs to develop, introduce and enhance its products, to establish marketing
relationships, to acquire and develop products that will compliment each other
and to build an administrative organization. To the extent that such expenses
are not subsequently followed by commensurate revenues, Telkonet's business,
results of operations and financial condition will be materially adversely
affected. There can be no assurance that Telkonet will be able to generate
sufficient revenues from the sale of their first product and other product
candidates. Telkonet expects negative cash flow from operations to continue for
the next 6 months as it continues to develop and market its business. Telkonet
will be required to sell additional equity or debt securities. The sale of
additional equity or convertible debt securities will result in additional
dilution to Telkonet's stockholders.
Potential fluctuations in quarterly operating results
- -----------------------------------------------------
Telkonet's quarterly operating results may fluctuate significantly in the future
as a result of a variety of factors, most of which are outside Telkonet's
control, including: the level of use of the Internet; the demand for high-tech
goods; trends in broadband service provisioning, the amount and timing of
capital expenditures and other costs relating to the expansion of the Telkonet's
operations; price competition or pricing changes in the industry; technical
difficulties; general economic conditions, and economic conditions specific to
the Internet and communications industry.
Limited public market, possible volatility of share price
- ---------------------------------------------------------
Telkonet's common stock is currently quoted on the NASD OTC Bulletin Board under
the ticker symbol TLKO.OB. As of March 31, 2002, there were approximately
13,927,996 shares of common stock outstanding. There can be no assurance that a
trading market will be sustained in the future. Factors such as, but not limited
to, technological innovations, new products, acquisitions or strategic alliances
entered into by Telkonet or its competitors, failure to meet securities
analysts' expectations, government regulatory action, patent or proprietary
rights developments, and market conditions for technology stocks in general
could have a material effect on the volatility of the Telkonet's stock price.
