(UNAUDITED)

NOTE A - SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A summary of the significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements follows.

General

The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2010 has been derived from audited financial statements. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Telkonet, Inc. (the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with Rule S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  However, the results from operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2011, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2011.  The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated December 31, 2010 financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Form 10-K filed with the SEC.

Business and Basis of Presentation

Telkonet, Inc., formed in 1999 and incorporated under the laws of the state of Utah, has evolved into a Clean Technology company that develops, manufactures and sells proprietary energy efficiency and SmartGrid networking technology. Prior to January 1, 2007, the Company was primarily engaged in the business of developing, producing and marketing proprietary equipment enabling the transmission of voice and data communications over a building’s internal electrical wiring.

In March 2007, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of Smart Systems International (SSI), a leading provider of energy management products and solutions to customers in the United States and Canada.

In March 2007, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding membership units of EthoStream, LLC, a network solutions integration company that offers installation, sales and service to the hospitality industry. The EthoStream acquisition enabled Telkonet to provide installation and support for PLC products and third party applications to customers across North America.

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

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Telkonet Communications, Inc., and EthoStream, LLC. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Going Concern

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company has reported net income from continuing operations of $1,128,742 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2011, accumulated deficit of $114,384,611 and total current liabilities in excess of current assets of $9,980 as of September 30, 2011.
  
In light of the retirement of the Company’s Senior Convertible Debentures in the first quarter of 2011, the sale of Series B Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock in the second quarter and our year to date operating results, the Company believes anticipated revenues and its’ continued operational efficiencies will be sufficient to satisfy its ongoing capital and cash flow requirements for the remainder of fiscal 2011.  However, the Company also believes there remains sufficient uncertainty, both in the economic environment and our current deficit position, that the Company cannot make any representations  for fiscal 2012.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company accounts for the fair value of financial instruments in accordance with ASC 820, which defines fair value for accounting purposes, established a framework for measuring fair value and expanded disclosure requirements regarding fair value measurements.  Fair value is defined as an exit price, which is the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid upon transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.  The degree of judgment utilized in measuring the fair value of assets and liabilities generally correlates to the level of pricing observability.  Financial assets and liabilities with readily available, actively quoted prices or for which fair value can be measured from actively quoted prices in active markets generally have more pricing observability and require less judgment in measuring fair value.  Conversely, financial assets and liabilities that are rarely traded or not quoted have less price observability and are generally measured at fair value using valuation models that require more judgment.  These valuation techniques involve some level of management estimation and judgment, the degree of which is dependent on the price transparency of the asset, liability or market and the nature of the asset or liability.  We have categorized our financial assets and liabilities that are recurring, at fair value into a three-level hierarchy in accordance with these provisions.

Restricted Cash

During the third quarter, the Company was awarded a contract that contained a bonding requirement.  The Company satisfied this requirement with cash collateral supported by an irrevocable standby letter of credit in the amount of $91,000 which expires September 30, 2012.  The amount is presented as restricted cash on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Goodwill and Other Intangibles

Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of businesses acquired over fair value or net identifiable assets at the date of acquisition.  Goodwill is subject to a periodic impairment assessment by applying a fair value test based upon a two-step method.  The first step of the process compares the fair value of the reporting unit with the carrying value of the reporting unit, including any goodwill.  We utilize a discounted cash flow valuation methodology to determine the fair value of the reporting unit.  If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds the carrying amount of the reporting unit, goodwill is deemed not to be impaired in which case the second step in the process is unnecessary.  If the carrying amount exceeds fair value, we perform the second step to measure the amount of impairment loss.  Any impairment loss is measured by comparing the implied fair value of goodwill with the carrying amount of goodwill at the reporting unit, with the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value recognized as an impairment loss.

Long-Lived Assets

We review long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable in accordance with ASC 360-10. Recoverability is measured by comparison of the carrying amount to the future net cash flows which the assets are expected to generate.  If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the projected discounted future cash flows arising from the asset using a discount rate determined by management to be commensurate with the risk inherent to our current business model.

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

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures.  Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740-10 “Income Taxes.” Under this method, deferred income taxes (when required) are provided based on the difference between the financial reporting and income tax bases of assets and liabilities and net operating losses at the statutory rates enacted for future periods. The Company has a policy of establishing a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize the benefits of its deferred income tax assets in the future.

The Company has adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASC 740-10-25, which prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. ASC 740-10-25 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, treatment of interest and penalties, and disclosure of such positions.

Revenue Recognition

For revenue from product sales, we recognize revenue in accordance with ASC 605-10, and ASC Topic 13 guidelines that require that four basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred; (3) the selling price is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured.  Determination of criteria (3) and (4) are based on management’s judgments regarding the fixed nature of the selling prices of the products delivered and the collectability of those amounts.  Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances, and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded.  We defer any revenue for which the product has not been delivered or is subject to refund until such time that we and the customer jointly determine that the product has been delivered or no refund will be required.  The guidelines also address the accounting for arrangements that may involve the delivery or performance of multiple products, services and/or rights to use assets.

Stock-Based Compensation

We account for our stock based awards in accordance with ASC 718-10, Compensation, which requires a fair value measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to our employees and directors, including employee stock options and restricted stock awards. We estimate the fair value of stock options granted using the Black-Scholes valuation model. This model requires us to make estimates and assumptions including, among other things, estimates regarding the length of time an employee will retain vested stock options before exercising them, the estimated volatility of our common stock price and the number of options that will be forfeited prior to vesting. The fair value is then amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods of the awards, which is generally the vesting period. Changes in these estimates and assumptions can materially affect the determination of the fair value of stock-based compensation and consequently, the related amount recognized in our consolidated statements of operations.
 
The expected term of the options represents the estimated period of time until exercise and is based on historical experience of similar awards, giving consideration to the contractual terms, vesting schedules and expectations of future employee behavior. For 2011 and prior years, expected stock price volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock for the related vesting periods.
 
Stock-based compensation expense in connection with options granted to employees for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 was $21,643 and $111,258, respectively.

Deferred Lease Liability

Rent expense is recorded on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Rent escalations and rent abatement periods during the term of the lease create a deferred lease liability which represents the excess of cumulative rent expense recorded to date over the actual rent paid to date.

Lease Abandonment

On July 15, 2011, the Company executed a sublease agreement for approximately 12,000 sq ft of commercial office space in Germantown, MD. The subtenant has the option to extend the sublease from January 31, 2013 to December 31, 2015. Because we no longer have access to subleased space, we have recorded a charge of $56,659 which is included in accrued expense related to this abandonment.

NOTE B – NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
 
During December 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2010-28, “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350):  When to Perform Step 2 of the Goodwill Impairment Test for Reporting Units with Zero or Negative Carrying Amounts—a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force.”  ASU No.2010-28 requires entities with reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts to perform step 2 of the goodwill impairment test if qualitative factors indicate that it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists.  Any goodwill impairment recorded upon the adoption of ASU No. 2010-28 is required to be recorded as a cumulative-effect adjustment to beginning retained earnings.  ASU No. 2010-28 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010. The Company is currently assessing the effect that ASU No. 2010-28 will have on its results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

The Company does not amortize goodwill. The Company recorded goodwill in the amount of $14,670,455 as a result of the acquisitions of EthoStream and SSI during the year ended December 31, 2007.   The Company evaluates goodwill for impairment based on the fair value of the operating business units to which this goodwill relates at least once a year. The Company generally determines the fair value of a reporting unit using a combination of the income approach, which is based on the present value of estimated future cash flows, and the market approach, which compares the business unit's multiples to its competitors.

Business Loan

On September 11, 2009, the Company entered into a Loan Agreement in the aggregate principal amount of $300,000 with the Wisconsin Department of Commerce (the “Department”).  The outstanding principal balance bears interest at the annual rate of 2% percent. Payment of interest and principal is to be made in the following manner: (a) payment of any and all interest that accrues from the date of disbursement commenced on January 1, 2010 and continued on the first day of each consecutive month thereafter through and including December 31, 2010; (b) commencing on January 1, 2011 and continuing on the first day of each consecutive month thereafter through and including November 1, 2016, the Company shall pay equal monthly installments of $4,426 each; followed by a final installment on December 1, 2016 which shall include all remaining principal, accrued interest and other amounts owed by the Company to the Department under the Loan Agreement.  The Company may prepay amounts outstanding under the credit facility in whole or in part at any time without penalty. The Loan Agreement is secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets and the proceeds from this loan were used for the working capital requirements of the Company.  The outstanding borrowing under the agreement at September 30, 2011 was $264,430.

Promissory Note #1

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

Promissory Note #2

From the sale of its Series 5 PLC product line assets, the Company used the proceeds received to retire substantially all of its obligations under its $1.6 million senior convertible debenture due May 29, 2011 and to cancel the related warrants covering 11.7 million shares of the Company’s common stock.  In exchange for the early retirement of debt and cancellation of warrants, the Company provided the lender with an unsecured one-year promissory note (“Note #2”) for $50,000. The outstanding principal balance bears interest at the annual rate of 5.25% and is due on March 4, 2012. The monthly payment of principal and interest is $4,385.  However Note #2 is due immediately if the Company (a) receives three million ($3,000,000) dollars in aggregate in new debt or equity financing, (c) attains one million ($1,000,000) dollars in EBITDA for any reporting quarter or (3) becomes insolvent.  The Note may be prepaid in whole or in part, without penalty at any time.  Payments shall be applied first to accrued but unpaid interest and then to principal.

NOTE G – REDEEMABLE PREFERRED STOCK

Series A

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

On November 16, 2009, the Company sold 215 shares of Series A with attached warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,628,800 shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.33 per share.  The Series A shares were sold at a price per share of $5,000 and each Series A share is convertible into approximately 13,774 shares of common stock at a conversion price of $0.363 per share. The Company received $1,075,000 from the sale of the Series A shares.  Since the Series A may ultimately be redeemable at the option of the holder, the carrying value of the preferred stock, net of discount and accumulated dividends, has been classified as Commitments and Contingencies on the balance sheet at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

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

The charge to additional paid in capital for amortization of Series A discount and costs for the period ended September 30, 2011 was $53,703.  

For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 we have accrued dividends in the amount of $62,256 and cumulative accrued dividends as of September 30, 2011 are $158,188. The accrued dividends have been charged to additional paid-in capital (since there is a deficit in retained earnings) and the net unpaid accrued dividends have been added to the carrying value of the Series A shares.

Series B

The Company has designated 567 shares of preferred stock as Series B Preferred Stock (“Series B”). Each share of Series B shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time, into shares of our common stock at an initial conversion price of $0.13 per share.  In the event of a change of control (as defined in the purchase agreement with respect to the Series B), or at the holder’s option, on November 19, 2014 and for a period of 180 days thereafter, provided that at least fifty percent (50%) of the shares of Series B issued on the Series B Original Issue Date remain outstanding as of November 19, 2014, and the holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series B provide written notice requesting redemption of all shares of Series B, we are required to redeem the Series B for the purchase price plus any accrued but unpaid dividends. The Series B accrues dividends at an annual rate of 8% of the original purchase price, and, except as described above, shall be payable only when, as, and if declared by our Board of Directors.

On August 4, 2010, the Company sold 267 shares of Series B with attached warrants to purchase an aggregate of 10,269,219 shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.13 per share.  The Series B shares were sold at a price per share of $5,000 and each Series B share is convertible into approximately 38,461 shares of common stock at a conversion price of $0.13 per share. The Company received $1,335,000 from the sale of the Series B shares.  Since the Series B shares may ultimately be redeemable at the
option of the holder, the carrying value of the Series B shares, net of discount and accumulated dividends, has been classified as temporary equity on the balance sheet at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

In accordance with ASC 470 Topic “Debt, a portion of the proceeds were allocated to the warrants based on their relative fair value, which totaled $394,350 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Further, the Company attributed a beneficial conversion feature of $394,350 to the Series B shares based upon the difference between the effective conversion price of those shares and the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of issuance. The assumptions used in the Black-Scholes model are as follows:  (1) dividend yield of 0%; (2) expected volatility of 123%, (3) weighted average risk-free interest rate of 1.76%, (4) expected life of 5 years, and (5) estimated fair value of Telkonet common stock of $0.109 per share. The expected term of the warrants represents the estimated period of time until exercise and is based on historical experience of similar awards and giving consideration to the contractual terms. The amounts attributable to the warrants and beneficial conversion feature, aggregating $788,700, have been recorded as a discount and deducted from the face value of the Series B shares. Since the Series B is classified as temporary equity, the discount will be amortized over the period from issuance to November 19, 2014 (the initial redemption date) as a charge to additional paid-in capital (since there is a deficit in retained earnings).

In accordance with ASC 470 Topic “Debt, a portion of the proceeds were allocated to the warrants based on their relative fair value, which totaled $427,895 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Further, the Company attributed a beneficial conversion feature of $427,895 to the Series B shares based upon the difference between the effective conversion price of those shares and the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of issuance. The assumptions used in the Black-Scholes model are as follows:  (1) dividend yield of 0%; (2) expected volatility of 129%, (3) weighted average risk-free interest rate of 0.26%, (4) expected life of 5 years, and (5) estimated fair value of Telkonet common stock of $0.12 per share. The expected term of the warrants represents the estimated period of time until exercise and is based on historical experience of similar awards and giving consideration to the contractual terms. The amounts attributable to the warrants and beneficial conversion feature, aggregating $855,790, have been recorded as a discount and deducted from the face value of the Series B shares. Since the Series B is classified as temporary equity, the discount will be amortized over the period from issuance to November 19, 2014 (the initial redemption date) as a charge to additional paid-in capital (since there is a deficit in retained earnings).

The charge to additional paid in capital for amortization of Series B discount and costs for the period ended September 30, 2011 was $263,205.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we have accrued dividends for Series B in the amount of $129,027 and cumulative accrued dividends as of September 30, 2011 are $172,064. The accrued dividends have been charged to additional paid-in capital (since there is a deficit in retained earnings) and the net unpaid accrued dividends been added to the carrying value of the preferred stock.

NOTE H - CAPITAL STOCK

The Company has authorized 15,000,000 shares of preferred stock, with a par value of $.001 per share. As of September 30, 2011, the Company has 215 shares of Series A preferred stock issued and 185 shares outstanding.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company issued 584,455 shares of common stock to directors and management for services performed through September 30, 2011.  These shares were valued at $85,999, which approximated the fair value of the shares when they were issued. In addition, 177,083 shares were issued to a current member of the Company’s Board of Directors for consulting fees incurred prior to, but not paid until after, his election to Board of Directors. These shares were valued at $25,000.

During the three months ended September 30, 2011, 30 shares of Series A redeemable preferred stock were converted to 413,223 shares of common stock and 40 shares of Series B redeemable preferred stock were converted to 1,538,460 shares of common stock.

NOTE I - STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS

Employee Stock Options

The Company maintains two stock option plans. The first plan was initiated in the year 2000 and was established as a long term incentive plan for employees and consultants, including board of director members. The second plan was established in 2010 also as an incentive plan for officers, employees, non employee directors, prospective employees and other key persons. It is anticipated that providing such persons with a direct stake in the Company’s welfare will assure a better alignment of their interests with those of the Company and its stockholders.

The expected life of awards granted represents the period of time that they are expected to be outstanding.  We determine the expected life based on historical experience with similar awards, giving consideration to the contractual terms, vesting schedules, exercise patterns and pre-vesting and post-vesting forfeitures.  We estimate the volatility of our common stock based on the calculated historical volatility of our own common stock using the trailing 24 months of share price data prior to the date of the award.  We base the risk-free interest rate used in the Black-Scholes-Merton option valuation model on the implied yield currently available on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with an equivalent remaining term equal to the expected life of the award.  We have not paid any cash dividends on our common stock and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.  Consequently, we use an expected dividend yield of zero in the Black-Scholes-Merton option valuation model. We use historical data to estimate pre-vesting option forfeitures and record share-based compensation for those awards that are expected to vest. In accordance with ASC 718-10, we adjust share-based compensation for changes to the estimate of expected equity award forfeitures based on actual forfeiture experience.
 
There were no options granted or exercised during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010.  

Total stock-based compensation expense in connection with options granted to employees recognized in the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 was $5,655 and $23,077, and $21,643 and $111,258, respectively.

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

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

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

Defendant Ramada Worldwide, Inc. provided us with notice of the suit and demanded that we defend and indemnify it pursuant to a vendor direct supplier agreement between EthoStream and WWC Supplier Services, Inc., a Ramada affiliate (wherein we agreed to indemnify, defend and hold Ramada harmless from and against claims of infringement).  After a review of that agreement, it was determined that EthoStream owes the duty to defend and indemnify with respect to services provided by Telkonet to Ramada and it has assumed Ramada’s defense.  An answer on Ramada’s behalf was filed in U.S. District Court, for the Eastern District of Texas, Marshall Division on September 19, 2008. On September 1, 2010, the court entered a 60 day stay at the plaintiff’s request. On September 15, 2010 we, along with other defendants, filed a motion seeking a stay of the litigation pending the conclusion of the reexamination proceeding. Subject to certain conditions, Linksmart agreed to entry of a stay. The court granted the defendants’ motion on October 26, 2010 and, subject to the agreed upon conditions, the matter is now stayed pending conclusion of the reexamination, including all appeals. A mandatory mediation was held in October, 2010 which did not achieve any results.  As of September 30, 2011, the case continued to be in stay pending a dismissal or appeal.  Because of the above, the Company is unable to estimate potential damages.

Robert P. Crabb v. Telkonet Inc.

On November 9, 2010, a former executive, Robert P. Crabb, served Telkonet, Inc. and Telkonet Communications, Inc. ("Telkonet") with a Complaint in the Circuit Court for Montgomery County, MD alleging  (1) violation of Maryland’s Wage Payment and Collection Act  (2) Breach of Contract and  (3) Promissory Estoppel/Detrimental Reliance.  The claims in his Complaint arise out of his retirement in September 2007.  On December 6, 2010, Telkonet filed an Answer and Counterclaim, alleging “Recoupment.” Mr. Crabb filed an Answer to the Counterclaim on January 10, 2011.  In terms of relief, Mr. Crabb is seeking "severance compensation" in the amount of $156,000, treble damages, interest, and attorneys’ fees.  Treble damages and attorneys’ fees are only available under the Maryland Wage Payment and Collection Act.  Mr. Crabb's Complaint provides no specific accounting for the relief sought.  A pre-trial conference was held on July 28, 2011, during which time the Court scheduled a four day jury trial beginning on December 12, 2011. On September 13, 2011, the Court denied Mr. Crabb's Motion for Partial Summary Judgment on his claims and Telkonet's Counterclaim.

Stephen L. Sadle v. Telkonet, Inc

On April 15, 2011, a former executive, Stephen L. Sadle, served Telkonet, Inc. and Telkonet Communications, Inc. ("Telkonet") with a Complaint in the Circuit Court for Montgomery County, MD alleging (1) Breach of Contract, (2) Promissory Estoppel/Detrimental Reliance and (3) violation of Maryland's Wage Payment and Collection Act. The three claims in his Complaint each arise out of his retirement in 2007. On May 27, 2011, Telkonet filed a motion to dismiss Mr. Sadle's claims. On August 10, 2011, the court granted in full Defendants' motion to dismiss.

Specifically, the Court dismissed, with prejudice, Plaintiff's claim under the Maryland Wage Payment and Collection Act. However, as part of its Order, the Court permitted Plaintiff to amend his Complaint as to his Breach of Contract (Count II) and Promissory Estoppel/Detrimental Reliance (Count III) claims only within 30 days. On September 14, 2011, Mr. Sadle filed his First Amended Complaint. On September 30, 2011, Telkonet filed its Answer and Counterclaims for Negligence (based on a fiduciary duty) and Recoupment. Mr. Sadle has not yet filed an Answer to Telkonet’s counterclaims. The parties have exchanged written discovery and scheduled preliminary depositions.

In terms of relief, Mr. Sadle is seeking "severance compensation" in the amount of $195,000, treble damages, interest, and attorneys’ fees. Treble damages and attorneys’ fees are only available under the Maryland Wage Payment and Collection Act, however, and therefore should no longer be available to Mr. Sadle in light of the dismissal of that particular claim. Mr. Sadle's Complaint provides no specific accounting for the relief sought. The trial in this case will likely be scheduled between February and June 2012.

Sales Tax
 
The Company believes there exists the possibility of sales tax exposure in multiple states covering multiple years. At the quarter ended September 30, 2011, the Company has approximately $253,000 accrued for any potential sales tax exposure. However the Company is unable to estimate if there will be any additional sales tax exposure in excess of this accrual.

The following discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto for the quarter ended September 30, 2011, as well as the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto and management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 filed on March 30, 2011.

Business

Telkonet, Inc., formed in 1999 and incorporated under the laws of the state of Utah, is a Clean Technology company that designs, develops and markets proprietary energy efficiency and smart grid networking products and services.  Our SmartEnergy, EcoSmart and Series 5 SmartGrid networking technologies enable us to provide innovative clean technology solutions and have helped position Telkonet as a leading Clean Technology provider.
 
Our Telkonet SmartEnergy, Networked Telkonet SmartEnergy and EcoSmart energy efficiency products incorporate our patented Recovery Time™ technology, providing continuous monitoring of climate and environmental conditions to dynamically adjust a room’s temperature, accounting for the occupancy of the room.  Our SmartEnergy and EcoSmart platforms maximize energy savings while at the same time ensuring occupant comfort and extending equipment life expectancy.  This technology is particularly attractive to customers in the hospitality industry, as well as the education, healthcare and government/military markets, who are continually seeking ways to reduce costs and meet federal and state mandates without impacting building occupant comfort.  By reducing energy consumption automatically when a space is unoccupied, our customers can realize significant cost savings without diminishing occupant comfort.  This technology may also be integrated with property management systems and building automation systems and used in load shedding initiatives.  This feature provides management companies and utilities enhanced opportunity for cost savings, environmental awareness and energy management.  Telkonet’s energy management systems are lowering heating, ventilation and air conditioning, or HVAC, costs in hundreds of thousands of rooms worldwide and qualify for state and federal energy efficiency and rebate programs.
 
The Series 5 SmartGrid networking technology allows commercial, industrial and consumer users to connect computers to a communications network using the existing low voltage electrical grid. The Series 5 SmartGrid networking technology uses powerline communications, or PLC, technology to transform existing electrical infrastructure into a communications backbone.  Operating at 200 Mbps, the PLC platform offers a secure alternative in grid communications, transforming a traditional electrical distribution system into a “smart grid” that delivers electricity in a manner that can save energy, reduce cost and increase reliability.
 
On March 4, 2011, the Company sold its Series 5 Power Line Carrier product line and related business assets to Dynamic Ratings (“Dynamic Ratings”).  The sales price was $1,000,000 in cash.  In connection with the sale, Dynamic Ratings lent the Company an additional $700,000 in the form of a 6% promissory note dated March 4, 2011.  Concurrently with the sale, the Company entered into a Distributorship Agreement and a Consulting Agreement with Dynamic Ratings.  Under the Distributorship Agreement, the Company was designated as a distributor of the Series 5 product to the non-utility sector and will receive preferred pricing for purchases of Series 5 product.  Under the Consulting Agreement, the Company agreed to provide Dynamic Ratings with ongoing transition assistance and consulting services for the Series 5 product.  The Distributorship Agreement and the Consulting Agreement have initial terms that expire on March 31, 2014 and March 31, 2013, respectively.  Proceeds payable to the Company under the Distributorship Agreement and the Consulting Agreement will be applied to pay the balance of the promissory note. 
 
Telkonet’s EthoStream Hospitality Network is now one of the largest high speed internet access (HSIA) solution providers in the world, with a customer base of more than 2,354 properties representing approximately 223,000 hotel rooms.  This network provides Telkonet with the opportunity to market our energy efficiency solutions.  In addition, more than 3.9 million users access the internet monthly via the EthoStream Hospitality Network providing Telkonet with a growing captive audience for promotional relationships.  The EthoStream Hospitality Network is backed by a 24/7 U.S.-based in-house support center that uses integrated, web-based management tools enabling proactive customer support.

We utilize direct and indirect sales channels in all areas of our business.  With a growing Value-Added Reseller (VAR) network, we continue to broaden our reach throughout the industry.  Utilizing key integrators and strategic partners, we’ve been able to increase penetration in each of our targeted markets.  The impact of this effort is a growing percentage of Telkonet’s business is driven by our indirect sales channels.

Our direct sales efforts target the hospitality, education, commercial, utility and government/military markets.  Taking advantage of legislation, including the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007, or EISA, and the Energy Policy Act of 2005, we’ve focused our sales efforts in areas with available public funding and incentives, such as rebate programs offered by utilities for efficiency upgrades.  Through our proprietary platform, technology and partnerships with energy efficiency providers, we intend to position our Company as a leading provider of energy management solutions. 

Forward Looking Statements

In accordance with the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, we can obtain a “safe-harbor” for forward-looking statements by identifying those statements and by accompanying those statements with cautionary statements which identify factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements.  Accordingly, the following “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” may contain certain forward-looking statements regarding strategic growth initiatives, growth opportunities and management’s expectations regarding orders and financial results for 2011 and future periods.  These forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and current assumptions which management believes are reasonable.  However, these statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from any future results encompassed within the forward-looking statements.  Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include those risks affecting the Company’s business as described in the Company’s filings with the SEC, including the Company’s 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K and later filed quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K, which factors are incorporated herein by reference.  The Company expressly disclaims a duty to provide updates to forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or other occurrences.
 
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.  On an ongoing basis, we evaluate significant estimates used in preparing our condensed consolidated financial statements including those related to revenue recognition, guarantees and product warranties, stock based compensation and business combinations.  We base our estimates on historical experience, underlying run rates and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities.  Actual results could differ from these estimates. The following are critical judgments, assumptions, and estimates used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
For revenue from product sales, we recognize revenue in accordance with ASC 605-10, and ASC Topic 13 guidelines that require that four basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred; (3) the selling price is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured.  Determination of criteria (3) and (4) are based on management’s judgments regarding the fixed nature of the selling prices of the products delivered and the collectability of those amounts.  Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances, and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded.  We defer any revenue for which the product has not been delivered or is subject to refund until such time that we and the customer jointly determine that the product has been delivered or no refund will be required.  The guidelines also address the accounting for arrangements that may involve the delivery or performance of multiple products, services and/or rights to use assets.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
The Company accounts for the fair value of financial instruments in accordance with ASC 820, which defines fair value for accounting purposes, established a framework for measuring fair value and expand disclosure requirements regarding fair value measurements.  Fair value is defined as an exit price, which is the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid upon transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.  The degree of judgment utilized in measuring the fair value of assets and liabilities generally correlates to the level of pricing observability.  Financial assets and liabilities with readily available, actively quoted prices or for which fair value can be measured from actively quoted prices in active markets generally have more pricing observability and require less judgment in measuring fair value.  Conversely, financial assets and liabilities that are rarely traded or not quoted have less price observability and are generally measured at fair value using valuation models that require more judgment.  These valuation techniques involve some level of management estimation and judgment, the degree of which is dependent on the price transparency of the asset, liability or market and the nature of the asset or liability.  We have categorized our financial assets and liabilities that are recurring, at fair value into a three-level hierarchy in accordance with these provisions.
 
New Accounting Pronouncements
 
During December 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2010-28, “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350):  When to Perform Step 2 of the Goodwill Impairment Test for Reporting Units with Zero or Negative Carrying Amounts—a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force.” ASU No.2010-28 requires entities with reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts to perform step 2 of the goodwill impairment test if qualitative factors indicate that it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists.  Any goodwill impairment recorded upon the adoption of ASU No. 2010-28 is required to be recorded as a cumulative-effect adjustment to beginning retained earnings.  ASU No. 2010-28 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010. The Company is currently assessing the effect that ASU No. 2010-28 will have on its results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

Product revenue

Product revenue principally arises from the sale and installation of SmartEnergy, SmartGrid and High Speed Internet Access   equipment.  These include TSE, Telkonet Series 5, Telkonet iWire, and wireless networking products.  We market and sell to the hospitality, education, healthcare and government/military markets.  The Telkonet Series 5 and the Telkonet iWire products consist of the Telkonet Gateways, Telkonet Extenders, the patented Telkonet Coupler, and Telkonet iBridges.  The SmartEnergy product suite consists of thermostats, sensors, controllers, wireless networking products and a control platform.  The HSIA product suite consists of gateway servers, switches and access points.  Despite selling the Series 5 PLC product line and related business assets, the Company believes this will have an immaterial impact on revenue and profitability, since it represented less than 5% of its revenue base in 2010.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, product revenue decreased by 10% and 11% respectively, when compared to the prior year periods. Product revenue in 2011 includes approximately $2.6 million attributed to the sale and installation of energy management products, and approximately $1.9 million for the sale and installation of HSIA products, and approximately $0.3 million attributable to the Telkonet Series 5 products.   Since our sales of energy management and HSIA products are concentrated in the hospitality market, we have been impacted by a market reluctance to incur capital expenditures in the present economy. However, we believe the economy continues to demonstrate gradual signs of recovery and anticipate it will continue, albeit at a modest, uneven pace.

Recurring Revenue

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

Recurring revenue includes approximately 2,354 hotels in our broadband network portfolio.  We currently support over 223,000 HSIA rooms, with over 3.9 million monthly users.  For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, recurring revenue decreased by 3% and increased by 5%, respectively, when compared to the same periods of the prior year.

Product Costs

Product costs include equipment and installation labor related to the sale of Telkonet SmartEnergy™ products, Telkonet Series 5™ products and the Telkonet iWire System™.  For the three months ended September 30, 2011, product costs decreased by 9% when compared to the prior year period. Product costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, decreased by 4% when compared to the prior year period, a direct correlation to the decrease in product revenues.

Recurring Costs

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, recurring costs decreased by 16% and 13% respectively when compared to the prior year periods due to increased efficiencies in providing support services to our EthoStream Hospitality Network.  As we continue to add new HSIA customers to our portfolio, we may need to hire additional support center staff which may affect our recurring product costs and margins.

Product Gross Profit

The gross profit on product revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 decreased by 12% and 19%, respectively, compared to the prior year periods as a result of decreased product sales and installations on energy management and HSIA sales.

Recurring Gross Profit

The gross profit percentage associated with recurring revenue increased by 3% and 13%, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011.  The increase was due to the growth in advertising revenue which yields greater margins.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased over the comparable prior year periods by approximately 9% and 19%, respectively.  These decreases are primarily the result of cost reduction efforts in areas of staffing, professional fees, financing fees and debt forgiveness plans. We do not expect to see a significant increase in selling, general and administrative expenses for the remainder of 2011, except as necessary to meet future growth opportunities.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

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

Working Capital

Our working capital deficit decreased by $4,152,440 during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 from a working capital deficit (current liabilities in excess of current assets) of $4,162,420 at December 31, 2010 to a working capital deficit of $9,980 at September 30, 2011. The decrease in working capital deficit for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 is due to the retirement of a convertible debenture, the associated derivative liability and the retirement of two related party notes.

Business Loan

On September 11, 2009, we entered into a Loan Agreement to borrow an aggregate principal amount of $300,000 from the Wisconsin Department of Commerce (“Department”).  The outstanding principal balance on the loan bears interest at the annual rate of 2%.  Payment of interest and principal is to be made in the following manner:  (a) payment of any and all interest that accrues from the date of disbursement commences on January 1, 2010 and continues on the first day of each consecutive month thereafter through and including December 31, 2010; (b) commencing on January 1, 2011 and continuing on the first day of each consecutive month thereafter through and including November 1, 2016, we are obligated to pay equal monthly installments of $4,426 each; followed by a final installment on December 1, 2016 which will include all remaining principal, accrued interest and other amounts owed by us to the Department under the Loan Agreement.  We may prepay amounts outstanding under the loan in whole or in part at any time without penalty.  The loan is secured by substantially all of our assets and the proceeds from this loan were used for our working capital requirements.  The outstanding borrowing under the agreement at September 30, 2011 was $264,430.

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

Promissory Note #1

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

Promissory Note #2

From the sale of its Series 5 PLC product line assets, the Company used the proceeds received to retire substantially all of its obligations under its $1.6 million senior convertible debenture due May 29, 2011 and to cancel the related warrants covering 11.7 million shares of the Company’s common stock.  In exchange for the early retirement of debt and cancellation of warrants, the Company provided the lender with an unsecured one-year promissory note (“Note #2”) for $50,000. The outstanding principal  balance bears interest at the annual rate of 5.25% and is due on March 4, 2012. The monthly payment of principal and interest is $4,385.  However Note #2 is due immediately if the Company (a) receives three million ($3,000,000) dollars in aggregate in new debt or equity financing, (b) attains one million ($1,000,000) dollars in EBITDA for any reporting quarter or (3) becomes insolvent.  Note#2 may be prepaid in whole or in part, without penalty at any time.  Payments shall be applied first to accrued but unpaid interest and then to principal. The outstanding principal balance as of  September 30, 2011 is $25,327.

Proceeds from the issuance of  Series B Preferred Stock

On April 8, 2011, the Company sold 271 shares of series B Preferred Stock with attached warrants to purchase 5,211,542 shares of common stock at $0.13 per share.

Cashflow analysis

Cash used in continuing operations was $334,285 and $1,158,085 during the nine months ending September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. As of September 30, 2011, our primary capital needs included business strategy execution, inventory procurement and managing current liabilities.

Cash provided from investing activities from continuing operations was $1,006,645 during the current period, and cash used was $4,800 during the period ended September 30, 2010.

Cash provided from financing activities was $363,620 and $948,000 during the period ending September 30, 2011 and 2010 respectively. The Company issued Series B preferred stock, sold the Series 5 PLC product line and repaid convertible debentures during 2011. During the period ended September 30, 2010, we completed a private placement of series B preferred stock for proceeds for $1.3 million. The Company made repayments on our working capital line of credit used for inventory purchases of $387,000 in 2010.

We have eased cash required for operations by trimming operating costs and reducing staff levels.  In addition, we are working to manage our current liabilities while we continue to make changes in operations to improve our cash flow and liquidity position.

In light of the retirement of the Company’s Senior Convertible Debentures in the first quarter of 2011, the sale of Series B Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock in the second quarter and our year to date operating results, the Company believes anticipated revenues and its’ continued operational efficiencies will be sufficient to satisfy its ongoing capital and cash flow requirements for the remainder of fiscal 2011.  However, the Company also believes there remains sufficient uncertainty, both in the economic environment and our current deficit position, that the Company cannot make any representations for fiscal 2012.

Our prior independent registered public accountants stated in their report dated March 29, 2011 for the period ended December 31, 2010 that we have incurred operating losses in the past years, and that we are dependent upon management’s ability to develop profitable operations and/or obtain necessary funding from outside sources, including by the sale of our securities, or obtaining loans from financial institutions, where possible.  These factors, among others, may raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. This may also affect our ability to obtain financing in the future.

Off-Balance sheet Arrangements

The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements other than its facility leases.

Acquisition or Disposition of Property and Equipment

During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, there were no expenditures on fixed assets and costs of equipment under operating leases.  The Company does not anticipate the sale or purchase of any significant property, plant or equipment during the next twelve months, other than computer equipment and peripherals to be used in the Company’s day-to-day operations.

We presently lease two commercial office spaces in Germantown, MD totaling, in the aggregate, 16,400 square feet.  Both leases expire in December 2015.  On July 15, 2011, Telkonet executed a sublease agreement for 11,626 square feet of its space located in Germantown, MD.  The sublease term will expire on January 31, 2013.  The Subtenant received a one (1) month rent abatement and has the option to extend the sublease from January 31, 2013 to December 31, 2015.

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures.

As of September 30, 2011, the Company performed an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Acting Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation and due to the lack of segregation of duties and failure to implement accounting controls, the Chief Executive Officer and Acting Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of the end of the period covered by this report.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, there was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
 
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings.

Litigation

The Company is subject to legal proceedings and claims which arise in the ordinary course of its business.  Although occasional adverse decisions or settlements may occur, the Company believes that the final disposition of such matters should not have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

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

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

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

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

On September 1, 2010, the court entered a 60 day stay at the plaintiff’s request. On September 15, 2010 we, along with other defendants, filed a motion seeking a stay of the litigation pending the conclusion of the reexamination proceeding. Subject to certain conditions, Linksmart agreed to entry of a stay. The court granted the defendants’ motion on October 26, 2010 and, subject to the agreed upon conditions, the matter is now stayed pending conclusion of the reexamination, including all appeals. A mandatory mediation was held in October, 2010 which did not achieve any results.  As of September 30, 2011, the case continued to be in stay pending a dismissal or appeal.  Because of the above, the Company is unable to estimate potential damages.

Robert P. Crabb v. Telkonet Inc.

On November 9, 2010, a former executive, Robert P. Crabb, served Telkonet, Inc. and Telkonet Communications, Inc. ("Telkonet") with a Complaint in the Circuit Court for Montgomery County, MD alleging  (1) violation of Maryland’s Wage Payment and Collection Act  (2) Breach of Contract and  (3) Promissory Estoppel/Detrimental Reliance.  The claims in his Complaint arise out of his retirement in September 2007.  On December 6, 2010, Telkonet filed an Answer and Counterclaim, alleging “Recoupment.” Mr. Crabb filed an Answer to the Counterclaim on January 10, 2011.  In terms of relief, Mr. Crabb is seeking "severance compensation" in the amount of $156,000, treble damages, interest, and attorneys’ fees.  Treble damages and attorneys’ fees are only available under the Maryland Wage Payment and Collection Act.  Mr. Crabb's Complaint provides no specific accounting for the relief sought.  A pre-trial conference was held on July 28, 2011, during which time the Court scheduled a four day jury trial beginning on December 12, 2011. On September 13, 2011, the Court denied Mr. Crabb's Motion for Partial Summary Judgment on his claims and Telkonet's Counterclaim.

Stephen L. Sadle v. Telkonet, Inc

On April 15, 2011, a former executive, Stephen L. Sadle, served Telkonet, Inc. and Telkonet Communications, Inc. ("Telkonet") with a Complaint in the Circuit Court for Montgomery County, MD alleging (1) Breach of Contract, (2) Promissory Estoppel/Detrimental Reliance and (3) violation of Maryland's Wage Payment and Collection Act. The three claims in his Complaint each arise out of his retirement in 2007. On May 27, 2011 Defendants filed a motion to dismiss Mr. Sadle's claims. On August 10, 2011, the court granted in full Defendants' motion to dismiss.

Specifically, the Court dismissed, with prejudice, Plaintiff's claim under the Maryland Wage Payment and Collection Act. However, as part of its Order, the Court permitted Plaintiff to amend his Complaint as to his Breach of Contract (Count II) and Promissory Estoppel/Detrimental Reliance (Count III) claims only within 30 days. On September 14, 2011, Mr. Sadle filed his First Amended Complaint. On September 30, 2011, Telkonet filed its Answer and Counterclaims for Negligence (based on a fiduciary duty) and Recoupment. Mr. Sadle has not yet filed an Answer to Telkonet’s counterclaims. The parties have exchanged written discovery and scheduled preliminary depositions.

In terms of relief, Mr. Sadle is seeking "severance compensation" in the amount of $195,000, treble damages, interest, and attorneys’ fees. Treble damages and attorneys’ are only available under the Maryland Wage Payment and Collection Act, however, and therefore should no longer be available to Mr. Sadle in light of the dismissal of that particular claim. Mr. Sadle's Complaint provides no specific accounting for the relief sought. The trial in this case will likely be scheduled between February and June 2012.
