NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2001
(UNAUDITED)
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 nine-month period ended
September 30, 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 Common stock 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.

NOTE B-BUSINESS COMBINATION (Continued)
- ---------------------------------------
The total purchase price and carrying value of net assets acquired of Comstock
was $ 1. The net assets acquired were as follows:
Net assets $ 1
Accumulated deficit 2,643
Net liabilities (2,642)
--------

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
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
inter-company transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Note D-Recent Accounting Pronouncements
- ---------------------------------------
In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. ("FAS") 141, "Business Combinations" ("FAS
141") and FAS 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" ("FAS 142"). FAS 141
addresses the initial recognition and measurement of goodwill and other
intangible assets acquired in a business combination. FAS 142 addresses the
initial recognition and measurement of intangible assets acquired outside of a
business combination, whether acquired individually or with a group of other
assets, and the accounting and reporting for goodwill and other intangibles
subsequent to their acquisition. These standards require all future business
combinations to be accounted for using the purchase method of accounting.
7
Goodwill will no longer be amortized but instead will be subject to impairment
tests at least annually. The Company is required to adopt FAS 141 and FAS 142 on
a prospective basis as of January 1, 2002; however, certain provisions of these
new standards may also apply to any acquisitions concluded subsequent to June
30, 2001. As a result of implementing these new standards, the Company will
discontinue the amortization of goodwill as of December 31, 2001. The Company
does not believe that the adoption of FAS 141 or 142 will have a material impact
on its consolidated financial statements
In October 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FAS
144,"Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" ("FAS
144"). FAS 144 addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment
or disposal of long-lived assets. This statement supersedes FAS 121, "Accounting
for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed
Of" ("FAS 121") and related literature and establishes a single accounting
model, based on the framework established in FAS 121, for long-lived assets to
be disposed of by sale. The Company is required to adopt FAS 144 no later than
January 1, 2002. The Company does not believe that the adoption of FAS 144 will
have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
NOTE E-CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES
- -----------------------------
Throughout the quarter ended September 30, 2001 the Company issued $903,000 of
8% Convertible Debentures due three years from the date of issuance. The
debentures may be exchanged at the option of the note holder for the Company's
Common Stock at the rate of 20,000 shares of common stock for each $10,000
principal amount of the Debenture converted. For each $10,000 of Debentures
purchased, the company granted 10,000 warrants which can be exercised at a share
price of $1.00. The warrants expire three years from the date of issuance.

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 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.
On July 31 the Company announced that it has completed the initial product
development phase of their proprietary communications system, which utilizes the
existing electrical wiring infrastructure in residential and commercial
buildings for Internet connectivity. The Telkonet System receives the Internet
signal in the traditional manner from either a standard telephone line, DSL line
or from a satellite connection at your home or office. The telephone line or
satellite cable connection is then plugged into the Telkonet Gateway a small
appliance not much larger than a box of cereal that is attached to the
electrical system. Once the installation of the Gateway is complete the Internet
signal is transmitted through the existing electrical wiring to every standard
electrical outlet in the building. To access the Internet the user simply plugs
the Telkonet Plug-In Internet Modem (the size of a small standard modem) into
any electrical outlet and then plugs the computer into the modem for clear
connectivity at whatever speeds are offered by the users Internet service
Provider.
On August 2, 2001 Telkonet announced successful system tests were recently
performed in the Washington D.C. metropolitan area, where Telkonet's Plug-In
connectivity solution was demonstrated in a 28-unit residential apartment
building and a 5-story commercial office building. Clear and unrestricted
high-speed data connectivity was successfully achieved from the basements to the
furthest receptacles on the top floors.
9
There are many commercial applications for the Telkonet technology, especially
in older structures such as hotels, schools and office buildings where Internet
service is desired, but new wiring that would allow for satisfactory high-speed
communication is cost prohibitive. Sales and marketing activities have resulted
in initial hardware orders and significant opportunities for ongoing revenue
generation. Beta test sites have been identified for installation to begin in
the fourth quarter of 2001 with production deliveries scheduled to begin in the
first quarter of 2002.
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
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 September 30, 2001, the Company
has not generated any revenues. The Company has incurred expenses of $ 2,002,013
during this period. These expenses were associated principally with compensation
to employees, product development costs and professional services. During the
first nine months of 2001, expenses increased by 75% over the first nine months
of 2000. Such an increase is due to increase in development activity associated
with the completion of its powerline systems for both Internet distribution and
Telephony, the beginning of the system demonstration phase, and an increase in
sales and marketing activities.
10
Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
As of September 30, 2001, the Registrant had a working capital deficit of $
214,851. As a result of the Company's operating losses from its inception
through September 30, 2001, the Registrant generated a cash flow deficit of $
1,781,855 from operating activities. Cash flows from financing totaled $
1,540,500 during the period January 1,2001 through September 30, 2001. The
Company met its cash requirements during this period through two lines of
Credit, a $ 150,000 Private Equity Placement, $ 87,500 in loans from
shareholders and a $ 903,000 Private Placement of Convertible Debentures.
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 continues to seek financing in the form of Convertible
Debentures to provide additional operating funds. The Company is still accepting
subscription agreements for additional financing. There are no assurances the
Company will be successful in raising all the funds required.
Product Research and Development
- --------------------------------
Company-sponsored research and development costs related to both present and
future products are expensed in the period incurred. Total expenditures on
research and product development for the first nine months of 2001 were $
300,636 compared to $ 48,000 for the nine months 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.
Number of Employees
- -------------------
During the period ended September 30, 2001, the Company had nine (9) employees.
In order for the Company to attract and retain quality personnel, the Company
anticipates that it will continue to offer competitive salaries to current and
future employees. In addition, the Company anticipates increasing its employment
base by 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.
11
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, and the 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 September 30, 2001, there were
approximately 22,115,371 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.
