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 ,2001 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
expected for the year ended December 31, 2001. The unaudited consolidated
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
December 31, 2000 financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the
Company's SEC Form 10-KSB dated April 16, 2001.
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
of the 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.

In accordance with Statement of Position No. 98-5, the Company expensed, as
organization costs, in the three months ended September 30, 2000, $ 1,980, which
represents the excess of the purchase price of Comstock over the net assets
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 No. 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.

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
- --------------------------
The Company was formed to develop applications for emerging power-line carrier
technologies. The Company believes that the power line represents an attractive
opportunity to deliver telephony and Internet connectivity to consumers in
developing countries and businesses around the world. Because the power line is
the most ubiquitous wired network in the home, service providers and consumers
avoid the expense, time and inconvenience of installing new wiring.
The Company 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.
TCI's technology would be licensed or sold to strategic customers and partners
with vertical markets where TCI's products and services would satisfy demand for
communication services. TCI has developed second generation working prototypes
for two products designed to provide telephony services and Internet
connectivity through transmission over existing power line networks: The primary
product enables Internet connectivity provided by several options for broadband
connectivity, to be accessed along power lines by end user communities. The
second product combines digital signaling equipment and
voice-over-Internet-protocol (VOIP) to deliver telephony services to end users
via existing standard power-line infrastructure.
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"). THE COMPANY 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 WOULD 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.
Plan of Operation
- -----------------
The Company is still in the development stage and is yet to earn revenues from
operations. The Company 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 Company's products, the Company's ability to
acquire and deliver high quality products at a price lower than currently
available to consumers, the Company's ability to obtain additional financing in
a timely manner and on terms favorable to the Company, the Company's ability to
successfully attract customers at a steady rate and maintain customer
satisfaction, Company promotions, branding and sales programs, the amount and
8
timing of operating costs and capital expenditures relating to the expansion of
the Company's business, operations and infrastructure and the implementation of
marketing programs, key agreements and strategic alliances, the number of
products offered by the Company, the number of returns experienced by the
Company, and general economic conditions specific to the Internet, power-line
communications, and the communications industry.
Revenues
- --------
The Company generated no revenues from operations from its inception. The
Company 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, 2001, the Company has
not generated any revenues. The Company has incurred expenses of $ 1,215,738
during this period. These expenses were associated principally with compensation
to employees, product development costs and professional services. During the
first quarter of 2001, expenses increased by 49% over the first quarter of 2000
due to increase in development activity associated with the completion of its
second generation powerline systems for both 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, 2001, the Registrant had working capital deficit of $493,140. As
a result of the Company's operating losses from its inception through March 31,
2001, the Registrant generated a cash flow deficit of $ 949,754 from operating
activities. Cash flows from financing totaled $ 335,000 during the period
January 1,2001 through March 31, 2001. The Company met its cash requirements
during this period through two lines of Credit.
While the Company has raised capital to meet its working capital and financing
needs in the past, additional financing is required in order to meet the
Company's current and projected cash flow deficits from operations and
development. The Company is seeking financing in the form of equity in order to
provide the necessary working capital. The Company currently has no commitments
for financing. There are no assurances the Company will be successful in raising
the funds required.
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 2001 were $ 112,291
compared to $ 25,587 for the first quarter of 2000.
Acquisition or Disposition of Plant and Equipment
- -------------------------------------------------
The Company does not anticipate the sale of any significant property, plant or
equipment during the next twelve months. The Company 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 Company's
day-to-day operations.
9
Number of Employees
- -------------------
During the period ended March 31, 2001, the Company had five (5) 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. The Company anticipates increasing its employment base to ten (10) to
fifteen (15) employees during the next 12 months. 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
- -------------------------------
The Company 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 the Company 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. The Company'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. The Company 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, the Company's
business, results of operations and financial condition will be materially
adversely affected. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to
generate sufficient revenues from the sale of their first product and other
product candidates. The Company expects negative cash flow from operations to
continue for the next 6 months as it continues to develop and market its
business. The Company 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 the Company's stockholders.
Potential fluctuations in quarterly operating results
- -----------------------------------------------------
The Company's quarterly operating results may fluctuate significantly in the
future as a result of a variety of factors, most of which are outside the
Company'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
Company'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
- ---------------------------------------------------------
The Company's Common Stock is currently quoted on the NASD OTC Bulletin Board
under the ticker symbol TLKO.OB. As of March 31, 2001, there were approximately
21,815,371 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 the Company or its competitors, failure to meet security
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 Company's stock price.
