TELKONET, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2008
(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.

Business and Basis of Presentation

Telkonet, Inc., formed in 1999 and incorporated under the laws of the State of Utah, is a leading provider of innovative, centrally managed solutions for integrated energy management, networking, building automation and proactive support services.  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 electric utility lines.

In January 2006, following the acquisition of Microwave Satellite Technologies (MST) (Note B), the Company began offering complete sales, installation, and service of VSAT and business television networks, and became a full-service national Internet Service Provider (ISP). The MST solution offers a complete “Quad-play” solution to subscribers of HDTV, VoIP telephony, NuVision Broadband Internet access and wireless fidelity (“Wi-Fi”) access, to commercial multi-dwelling units and hotels.

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 will enable Telkonet to provide installation and support for PLC products and third party applications to customers across North America.

In May 2007, Microwave Acquisition Corp., a newly formed, wholly-owned subsidiary of MSTI Holdings Inc. (formerly Fitness Xpress-Software Inc.) merged with MST. As a result of the merger, the Company’s common stock in MST was exchanged for shares of common stock of MSTI Holdings Inc. Immediately following the merger, MSTI Holdings Inc. completed a private placement of its common stock for aggregate gross proceeds of $3,078,716 and sold senior convertible debentures in the aggregate principal amount of $6,050,000 (plus an 8% original issue discount added to such principal amount). As a result of these transactions, the Company’s 90% interest in MST became a 63% interest in MSTI Holdings Inc.

In July 2007, MST, the wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company’s majority owned subsidiary MSTI Holdings Inc., acquired substantially all of the assets of Newport Telecommunications Co., a New Jersey general partnership. Pursuant to the terms of the acquisition, the total consideration paid was $2,550,000, consisting of unregistered shares of the Company’s common stock, equal to $1,530,000, and (ii) $1,020,000 in cash, subject to adjustments. The total consideration will be increased or decreased depending on the number of subscriber accounts acquired in the acquisition that were in good standing at that time.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Telkonet Communications, Inc. and Ethostream and 63%-owned subsidiary MSTI Holdings Inc. (reported as the Company’s MST segment). Significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Investments in entities over which the Company has significant influence, typically those entities that are 20 to 50 percent owned by the Company, are accounted for using the equity method of accounting, whereby the investment is carried at cost of acquisition, plus the Company’s equity in undistributed earnings or losses since acquisition.

Going Concern

The accompanying 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. However, the Company has reported a net loss of $5,121,031 for the three months ended March 31, 2008, accumulated deficit of $95,936,810 and a working capital deficit of $4,245,517 as of March 31, 2008.

The Company believes that anticipated revenues from operations will be insufficient to satisfy its ongoing capital requirements for at least the next 12 months.  If the Company’s financial resources are insufficient, the Company will require additional financing in order to execute its operating plan and continue as a going concern. The Company cannot predict whether this additional financing will be in the form of equity or debt, or be in another form. The Company may not be able to obtain the necessary additional capital on a timely basis, on acceptable terms, or at all.  In any of these events, the Company may be unable to implement its current plans for expansion, repay its debt obligations as they become due, or respond to competitive pressures, any of which circumstances would have a material adverse effect on its business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

Management plans to take the following steps that it believes will be sufficient to provide the Company with the ability to continue as a going concern. Management intends to raise capital through asset-based financing and/or the sale of its stock in private placements.  Management believes that with this financing, the Company will be able to generate additional revenues that will allow the Company to continue as a going concern. There can be no assurance that the Company will be sucessful in obtaining this additional funding.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Financial instruments and related items, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents. The Company places its cash and temporary cash investments with credit quality institutions. At times, such investments may be in excess of the FDIC insurance limit. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $167,106 and $111,957 at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively.

Investments

Telkonet maintained investments in two publicly-traded companies for the three months ended March 31, 2008.  The Company has classified these securities as available for sale.  Such securities are carried at fair market value.  Unrealized gains and losses on these securities, if any, are reported as accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), which is a separate component of stockholders’ equity.  Unrealized losses of $538,967 were recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and there were no unrealized gains or losses for the three months ended March 31, 2007.  Realized gains and losses and declines in value judged to be other than temporary on securities available for sale, if any, are included in operations.  There were no realized gains or losses for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Liquidity

As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company incurred net losses of $5,121,031 and $5,401,476 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The Company's current liabilities, on a consolidated basis, exceeded its current assets by $4,245,517 as of March 31, 2008.

Revenue Recognition

For revenue from product sales, the Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, Revenue Recognition (“SAB104”), which superseded Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements (“SAB101”). SAB 101 requires 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) collectibility 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 collectibility 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. The Company defers any revenue for which the product has not been delivered or is subject to refund until such time that the Company and the customer jointly determine that the product has been delivered or no refund will be required. SAB 104 incorporates Emerging Issues Task Force 00-21 (“EITF 00-21”), Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements. EITF 00-21 addresses accounting for arrangements that may involve the delivery or performance of multiple products, services and/or rights to use assets.

For equipment under lease, revenue is recognized over the lease term for operating lease and rental contracts. All of the Company’s leases are accounted for as operating leases. At the inception of the lease, no lease revenue is recognized and the leased equipment and installation costs are capitalized and appear on the balance sheet as “Equipment Under Operating Leases.” The capitalized cost of this equipment is depreciated from two to three years, on a straight-line basis down to the Company’s original estimate of the projected value of the equipment at the end of the scheduled lease term. Monthly lease payments are recognized as rental income.

MST accounts for the revenue, costs and expense related to residential cable services as the related services are performed in accordance with SFAS No. 51, Financial Reporting by Cable Television Companies. Installation revenue for residential cable services is recognized to the extent of direct selling costs incurred. Direct selling costs have exceeded installation revenue in all reported periods. Generally, credit risk is managed by disconnecting services to customers who are delinquent. The capitalized cost of this equipment is depreciated from three to ten years, on a straight-line basis down to the Company's original estimate of the projected value of the equipment at the end of the scheduled lease term and appears on the Balance Sheet in "Cable and Related Equipment."

Management identifies a delinquent customer based upon the delinquent payment status of an outstanding invoice, generally greater than 30 days past due.  The delinquent account designation does not trigger an accounting transaction until such time the account is deemed uncollectible. The allowance for doubtful accounts is determined by examining the reserve history and any outstanding invoices that are over 30 days past due as of the end of the reporting period.  Accounts are deemed uncollectible on a case-by-case basis, at management’s discretion based upon an examination of the communication with the delinquent customer and payment history.  Typically, accounts are only escalated to “uncollectible” status after multiple attempts have been made to communicate with the customer.

Revenue from sales-type leases for Ethostream products is recognized at the time of lessee acceptance, which follows installation. The Company recognizes revenue from sales-type leases at the net present value of future lease payments. Revenue from operating leases is recognized ratably over the lease period.

Guarantees and Product Warranties

FASB Interpretation No. 45, “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others” (“FIN 45”), requires that upon issuance of a guarantee, the guarantor must disclose and recognize a liability for the fair value of the obligation it assumes under that guarantee.

The Company’s guarantees were issued subject to the recognition and disclosure requirements of FIN 45 as of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007. The Company records a liability for potential warranty claims. The amount of the liability is based on the trend in the historical ratio of claims to sales, the historical length of time between the sale and resulting warranty claim, new product introductions and other factors. The products sold are generally covered by a warranty for a period of one year. In the event the Company determines that its current or future product repair and replacement costs exceed its estimates, an adjustment to these reserves would be charged to earnings in the period such determination is made. During the three months ended March 31, 2008 and the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company experienced approximately three percent of units returned. As of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the Company recorded warranty liabilities in the amount of $122,943 and $102,534, respectively, using this experience factor.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made in prior year's financial statements to conform to classifications used in the current year.

Registration Payment Arrangements

The Company accounts for registration payment arrangements under Financial Accounting Standards board (FASB) Staff Position EITF 00-19-2, “Accounting for Registration Payment Arrangements” (FSP EITF 00-19-2). FSP EITF 00-19-2 specifies that the contingent obligation to make future payments under a registration payment arrangement should be separately recognized and measured in accordance with SFAS No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies. FSP EITF 00-19-2 was issued in December, 2006.  As of December 31, 2007, the Company had accrued an estimated penalty (see Note E).

On February 11, 2008, the investors executed a letter agreement with MSTI Holdings, Inc. waiving their rights to receive liquidated damages under the registration rights agreement, in exchange for a reduction in their warrant exercise price from $1.00 to $0.65.  Therefore the Company has reversed the accrued expense for the potential liquidated damages during the three months ended March 31, 2008.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 (SFAS 161).  The SFAS 161 requires companies to provide enhanced disclosures regarding derivative instruments and hedging activities and requires companies to better convey the purpose of derivative use in terms of the risks they intend to manage. Disclosures about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS No. 133 and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect a company’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows are required. This Statement retains the same scope as SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, and is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 161 to have a material impact, if any, on our consolidated financial statements.

In February 2008, the FASB issued a FASB Staff Position (FSP) on Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets and Repurchase Financing Transactions (FSP FAS 140-3). This FSP addresses the issue of whether the transfer of financial assets and the repurchase financing transactions should be viewed as two separate transactions or as one linked transaction. The FSP includes a rebuttable presumption that the two transactions are linked unless the presumption can be overcome by meeting certain criteria. The FSP will be effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 and will apply only to original transfers made after that date; early adoption will not be allowed. We do not expect the adoption of FSP FAS 140-3 to have a material impact, if any, on our consolidated financial statements.


NOTE B - ACQUISITION OF SUBSIDIARY

Acquisition of Microwave Satellite Technologies, Inc.

On January 31, 2006, the Company acquired a 90% interest in MST from Frank Matarazzo, the sole stockholder of MST, in exchange for $1.8 million in cash and 1.6 million unregistered shares of the Company’s common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $9,000,000. The purchase price of $9,000,000 was increased by $117,822 for direct costs related to the acquisition. These direct costs included legal, accounting and other professional fees. The cash portion of the purchase price was paid in two installments, $900,000 at closing and $900,000 in February 2007. The stock portion is payable from shares held in escrow, 400,000 shares at closing and the remaining 1,200,000 “purchase price contingency” shares issued based on the achievement of 3,300 subscribers (as defined in Section 2.3 of the purchase agreement) over a three year period. In the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company issued 200,000 shares of the purchase price contingency valued at $900,000 as an adjustment to Goodwill.

On May 24, 2007, MST completed a merger transaction pursuant to which it became a wholly-owned subsidiary of MSTI Holdings, Inc. (formerly Fitness Xpress, Inc.), an inactive publicly registered shell corporation with no significant assets or operations. As a result of the merger, there was a change in control of the public shell corporation. In accordance with SFAS No. 141, MST was the acquiring entity. While the transaction is accounted for using the purchase method of accounting, in substance the transaction represented a recapitalization of MST’s capital structure. For accounting purposes, the Company accounted for the transaction as a reverse acquisition and MST is the surviving entity. MST did not recognize goodwill or any intangible assets in connection with the transaction. In connection with the acquisition, the Company’s 90% interest in MST was converted to a 63% interest in MSTI Holdings, Inc.

The purchase price contingency shares are price protected for the benefit of the former owner of MST. In the event the Company’s common stock price is below $4.50 per share upon issuance of the shares from escrow, a pro rata adjustment in the number of shares will be required to support the aggregate consideration of $5.4 million. The price protection provision provides a cash benefit to the former owner of MST if the as-defined market price of the Company’s common stock is less than $4.50 per share at the time of issuance from the escrow. The issuance of additional shares or distribution of other consideration upon resolution of the contingency based on the Company’s common stock prices will not affect the cost of the acquisition. When the contingency is resolved or settled, and additional consideration is distributable, the Company will record the current fair value of the additional consideration and the amount previously recorded for the common stock issued will be simultaneously reduced to the lower current value of the Company’s common stock.

MST is a communications technology company that offers complete sales, installation, and service of Very Small Aperture Terminal (VSAT) and business television networks, and is a full-service national Internet Service Provider (ISP).  Management believes that the MST acquisition will enable Telkonet to provide a complete “Quad-play” solution to subscribers of HDTV, VoIP telephony, NuVision Broadband Internet access and wireless fidelity (“Wi-Fi”) access, to commercial multi-dwelling units and hotels.

The acquisition of MST was accounted for using the purchase method in accordance with SFAS 141, “Business Combinations.” The value of the Company’s common stock issued as a part of the acquisition was determined based on the average price of the Company's common stock for several days before and after the acquisition of MST. The results of operations for MST have been included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations since the date of acquisition. The components of the purchase price were as follows:

(*) At the date of the acquisition, the effect of the “purchase price contingency” shares valued at approximately $5.4 million had not been recorded in accordance with FAS 141. In the second quarter of 2006, the Company issued 200,000 shares of the purchase price contingency valued at $900,000 as an adjustment to Goodwill. The remaining shares, when issued, will reflect an adjustment to Goodwill and Other Intangibles.

Goodwill and other intangible assets represent the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible assets acquired. The Company used a discounted cash flow model to determine the value of the intangible assets and to allocate the excess purchase price to the intangible assets and goodwill as appropriate. In this model, expected cash flows from subscribers were discounted to their present value at a rate of return of 20% (incorporating the risk-free rate, expected inflation, and related business risks) over a period of eight years. Expected costs such as income taxes and cost of sales were deducted from expected revenues to arrive at after tax cash flows. In accordance with SFAS 142, goodwill is not amortized and will be tested for impairment at least annually. The subscriber list was valued at $2,463,927 with an estimated useful life of eight years.

The acquisition of MST resulted in the valuation of MST’s subscriber lists as intangible assets. The MST subscriber list was determined to have an eight-year life. This intangible was amortized using that life, and amortization from the date of the acquisition through December 31, 2007, was taken as a charge against income in the consolidated statement of operations. In accordance with SFAS 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, the intangible asset subject to amortization was reviewed for impairment at December 31, 2007.

Goodwill of $1,977,768, excluding the remaining purchase price contingency, represented the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired.  In accordance with SFAS 142, goodwill is not amortized and will be tested for impairment at least annually.  At December 31, 2007, the Company performed an impairment test on the goodwill. Based upon management’s assessment of operating results and forecasted discounted cash flow, the carrying value of goodwill was determined to be impaired and therefore the entire value of $1,977,768 was written off during the year ended December 31, 2007.

Acquisition of Smart Systems International, Inc.

On March 9, 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 for cash and Company common stock having an aggregate value of $6,875,000. The purchase price was comprised of $875,000 in cash and 2,227,273 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company is obligated to register the stock portion of the purchase price on or before May 15, 2007 and on March 14, 2008, this registration statement was declared effective.  Additionally, 1,090,909 of these shares were held in an escrow account for a period of one year following the closing from which certain potential indemnification obligations under the purchase agreement could be satisfied. The aggregate number of shares held in escrow was subject to adjustment upward or downward depending upon the trading price of the Company’s common stock during the one year period following the closing date.  On March 12, 2008, the Company released these shares from escrow and issued an additional 1,909,091 shares pursuant to the adjustment provision in the SSI asset purchase agreement.

The acquisition of SSI was accounted for using the purchase method in accordance with SFAS 141, “Business Combinations.” The value of the Company’s common stock issued as a part of the acquisition was determined based on the most recent price of the Company's common stock on the day immediately preceding the acquisition date. The results of operations for SSI have been included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations since the date of acquisition.  The components of the purchase price were as follows:

Acquisition of Ethostream LLC

On March 15, 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 will enable Telkonet to provide installation and support for PLC products and third party applications to customers across North America. The purchase price of $11,756,097 was comprised of $2.0 million in cash and 3,459,609 shares of the Company’s common stock. The entire stock portion of the purchase price is being held in escrow to satisfy certain potential indemnification obligations of the sellers under the purchase agreement. The shares held in escrow are distributable over the three years following the closing.  If during the twelve months following the Closing, the common stock has a volume-weighted average trading price of at least $4.50, as reported on the American Stock Exchange, for twenty (20) consecutive trading days, the aggregate number of shares of common stock issuable to the sellers shall be adjusted such that the number of shares of common stock issuable as the stock consideration shall be determined assuming a per share price equal to $4.50.

The acquisition of Ethostream was accounted for using the purchase method in accordance with SFAS 141, “Business Combinations.” The value of the Company’s common stock issued as a part of the acquisition was determined based on the most recent price of the Company's common stock prior to the acquisition date.

Acquisition of Newport Telecommunications Co. by Subsidiary

On July 18, 2007, Microwave Satellite Technologies, Inc., the wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company’s majority owned subsidiary MSTI Holdings Inc., acquired substantially all of the assets of Newport Telecommunications Co., a New Jersey general partnership (“Newport”), relating to Newport’s business of providing broadband internet and telephone services at certain residential and commercial properties in the development known as Newport in Jersey City, New Jersey. Pursuant to the terms of the Newport acquisition, the total consideration paid was $2,550,000, consisting of (i) 866,856 unregistered shares of the Company’s common stock, equal to $1,530,000 (which is based on the average closing prices for the Company common stock for the ten trading days immediately prior to the closing date), and (ii) $1,020,000 in cash.

The acquisition of Newport was accounted for using the purchase method in accordance with SFAS 141, “Business Combinations.” The value of the Company’s common stock issued as a part of the acquisition was determined based on the average closing prices for the Company common stock for the ten trading days immediately prior to the closing date.

NOTE C - INTANGIBLE ASSETS AND GOODWILL

As a result of the MST acquisition at January 31, 2006 and the Ethostream acquisition on March 15, 2007 and MST’s acquisition of Newport on July 18, 2007, the Company had intangibles totaling $7,344,114 at March 31, 2008 (Note B).

The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144 (SFAS 144). The Statement requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles held and used by the Company be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Events relating to recoverability may include significant unfavorable changes in business conditions, recurring losses, or a forecasted inability to achieve break-even operating results over an extended period.   The Company has determined that the value of MST’s capitalized cable and related equipment has been impaired based upon managements assessment of forecasted discounted cash flow from subscriber revenue and has written off $493,512 of its value, based on the lower of the carrying amount or the fair value less costs to sell, for the year ended December 31, 2007.

We used a discounted cash flow model to determine the value of the intangible assets and to allocate the excess purchase price to the intangible assets and goodwill as appropriate. In this model, expected cash flows from subscribers were discounted to their present value at a rate of return of 20% (incorporating the risk-free rate, expected inflation, and related business risks) over a determined length of life year. Expected costs such as income taxes and cost of sales were deducted from expected revenues to arrive at after tax cash flows.

We have applied the same discounted cash flow methodology to the assessment of value of the intangible assets of Ethostream, during the acquisition completed on March 15, 2007, for purposes of determining the purchase price.

The MST subscriber list was determined to have an eight-year life. This intangible was amortized using that life and amortization from the date of the acquisition through December 31, 2007 was taken as a charge against income in the consolidated statement of operations.

During the year ended December 31, 2007, MSTI Holdings Inc., issued senior convertible debentures (the "Debentures") having a principal value of $6,576,350 to investors, including an original issue discount of $526,350, in exchange for $6,050,000 from investors, exclusive of placement fees. The original issue discount to the Debentures is amortized over 12 months. The Debentures accrue interest at 8% per annum commencing on the first anniversary of the original issue date of the Debentures, payable quarterly in cash or common stock, at MSTI Holdings Inc.’s option, and mature on April 30, 2010. The Debentures are not callable and are convertible at a conversion price of $0.65 per share into 10,117,462 shares of MSTI Holdings Inc. common stock, subject to certain limitations.  The Note Debenture holders are subject to a “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” pursuant to which the number of shares of common stock of MSTI Holdings, Inc. held by such noteholders immediately following conversion of the Debenture shall not exceed 4.99% of all of the issued and outstanding common stock of MSTI Holdings, Inc.  The Debentures are senior indebtedness and the holders of the Debentures have a security interest in all of MST assets and its subsidiaries.

In accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force Issue 98-5, Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios ("EITF 98-5"), MST recognized an imbedded beneficial conversion feature present in the Debentures. The Company allocated a portion of the proceeds equal to the intrinsic value of that feature to the MST additional paid in capital included in the Company’s minority interest. The Company recognized and measured an aggregate of $1,457,815 of the proceeds, which is equal to the intrinsic value of the imbedded beneficial conversion feature, to additional paid in capital and a discount against the Debentures issued during the year ended December 31, 2007. The debt discount attributed to the beneficial conversion feature is amortized over the Debentures maturity period (three years) as interest expense.  On February 11, 2008, the Debenture holders executed a letter agreement with MSTI Holdings, Inc. waiving their rights to receive liquidated damages under the registration rights agreement, in exchange for a reduction in their warrant exercise price from $1.00 to $0.65.  In connection with this waiver, the Company has recognized an additional $641,294 of debt discount attributed to the beneficial conversion feature for the three months ended March 31, 2008.

In connection with the placement of the Debentures, MSTI Holdings, Inc. also issued to the Debenture holders, five-year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 5,058,730 shares of MSTI Holdings, Inc. common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share. MSTI Holdings Inc. valued the warrants in accordance with EITF 00-27 using the Black-Scholes pricing model and the following assumptions: contractual terms of 5 years, an average risk free interest rate of 5.00%, a dividend yield of 0%, and volatility of 54%. The $931,465 of debt discount attributed to the value of the warrants issued is amortized over the Debentures maturity period (three years) as interest expense.  On February 11, 2008, the Debenture holders executed a letter agreement with MSTI Holdings, Inc. waiving their rights to receive liquidated damages under the registration rights agreement, in exchange for a reduction in their warrant exercise price from $1.00 to $0.65.  In connection with this waiver, the Company has recognized an additional $641,294 of debt discount attributed to the value of the warrants issued for the three months ended March 31, 2008.

In connection with the issuance of the Debentures, MSTI Holdings Inc. incurred placement fees of $423,500. Additionally, MSTI Holdings Inc. issued such agents five-year warrants to purchase 708,222 shares of MSTI Holdings Inc. common stock at an exercise price of $1.00.

The Company amortized the original issue discount, the beneficial conversion feature and the value of the attached warrants, and recorded non-cash interest expense in the amount of $131,588, $299,622, and $255,763, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2008.

Registration Rights Liquidated Damages

On May 24, 2007, MSTI Holdings, Inc. completed a private placement, pursuant to which 5,597,664 shares of common stock and five-year warrants to purchase 2,798,836 shares of common stock were issued at an exercise price of $1.00 per share, for total proceeds of $2,694,020.  Additionally, MSTI Holdings, Inc. also sold Debentures (as previously described) for total proceeds of $6,050,000.  The Debentures bear interest at a rate of 8% per annum, commencing on the first anniversary of the original issue date of the Debentures, payable quarterly in cash or common stock, at MSTI Holdings, Inc. option, and mature on April 30, 2010. The Debentures are not callable and are convertible at a price of $0.65 per share into 10,117,462 shares of MSTI Holdings, Inc. common stock.  In addition, holders of the Debentures received five-year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 5,058,730 shares of MSTI Holdings, Inc. common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share.

MSTI Holdings, Inc. agreed to file a “resale” registration statement with the SEC within 60 days after the final closing of the private placement and the issuance of the Debentures covering all shares of common stock sold in the private placement and underlying the Debentures, as well as the warrants attached to the private placement. MSTI Holdings, Inc. also agreed to use its best efforts to have such “resale” registration statement declared effective by the SEC as soon as possible and, in any event, within 120 days after the initial closing of the private placement and the issuance of the Debentures.

In addition, with respect to the shares of common stock sold in the private placement and underlying the warrants, MSTI Holdings, Inc. agreed to maintain the effectiveness of the “resale” registration statement from the effective date until the earlier of (i) 18 months after the date of the closing of the private placement or (ii) the date on which all securities registered under the registration statement (a) have been sold, or (b) are otherwise able to be sold pursuant to Rule 144, at which time exempt sales may be permitted for purchasers of the common stock in the private placement, subject to MSTI Holdings right to suspend or defer the use of the registration statement in certain events.

The registration rights agreement requires the payment of liquidated damages to the investors of approximately 1% per month of the aggregate proceeds of $9,128,717, or the value of the unregistered shares at the time that the liquidated damages are assessed, until the registration statement is declared effective.  In accordance with EITF 00-19-2, the Company evaluated the likelihood of achieving registration statement effectiveness.  Accordingly, the Company accrued $500,000 as of December 31, 2007, to account for these potential liquidated damages until the expected effectiveness of the registration statement is achieved.

On February 11, 2008, the investors executed a letter agreement with MSTI Holdings, Inc. waiving their rights to receive liquidated damages under the registration rights agreement, in exchange for a reduction in their warrant exercise price from $1.00 to $0.65.  As a result, the Company has reversed the accrued expense for the potential liquidated damages during the three months ended March 31, 2008.

On July 24, 2007, Telkonet entered into a Senior Note Purchase Agreement with GRQ Consultants, Inc. (“GRQ”) pursuant to which the Company issued to GRQ a Senior Promissory Note (the “Note”) in the aggregate principal amount of $1,500,000. The Note was due and payable on the earlier to occur of (i) the closing of the Company’s next financing, or (ii) January 28, 2008, and bore interest at a rate of six (6%) percent per annum. The Company incurred approximately $25,000 in fees in connection with this transaction. The net proceeds from the issuance of the Note were for general working capital needs.  On February 8, 2008, this note was repaid in full including $49,750 in accrued but unpaid interest from the issuance date through the date of repayment.

In connection with the issuance of the Note, the Company also issued to GRQ warrants to purchase 359,712 shares of common stock at $4.17 per share. These warrants expire five years from the date of issuance. The Company valued the warrants in accordance with EITF 00-27 using the Black-Scholes pricing model and the following assumptions: contractual terms of 5 years, an average risk free interest rate of 4.00%, a dividend yield of 0%, and volatility of 76%. The $195,924 of debt discount attributed to the value of the warrants issued is amortized over the note maturity period (six months) as non-cash interest expense. The Company amortized the value of the attached warrants, and recorded non-cash interest expense in the amount of $29,180, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2008.


NOTE F - FACTORING AGREEMENT

In February 2008, the Company entered into a factoring agreement to sell, without recourse, certain receivables to an unrelated third party financial institution in an effort to accelerate cash flow.  Under the terms of the factoring agreement the maximum amount of outstanding receivables at any one time is $2.5 million.  Proceeds on the transfer reflect the face value of the account less a discount.  The discount is recorded as interest expense in the Consolidated Statement of Operations in the period of the sale.  Net funds received reduced accounts receivable outstanding while increasing cash.  Fees paid pursuant to this arrangement are included in “Interest expense” in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and amounted to $44,206 for the three months ended March 31, 2008.


NOTE G - CAPITAL STOCK

The Company has authorized 15,000,000 shares of preferred stock, with a par value of $.001 per share.

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 SFAS No. 123R, we adjust share-based compensation for changes to the estimate of expected equity award forfeitures based on actual forfeiture experience.

*The warrants were issued to Enable Capital and originally priced at $4.17 per share.  In February 2008, these warrants were re-priced to $0.6978258 per share and the holders exercised the warrants on a cashless basis and received 1,000,000 shares

The Company granted 383,782 and 79,320 warrants to Convertible Senior Notes holders (Note E), 0 and 2,600,000 warrants to private placement investors (Note G), and 0 and 76,739 compensatory warrants to non-employees during the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.  There was no warrant expense recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2008.  The estimated value of compensatory warrants granted during the three months ended March 31, 2007 was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and the following assumptions: contractual term of 5 years, a risk free interest rate of approximately 4.75%, a dividend yield of 0% and volatility of 70%. Compensation expense of $139,112 was charged to operations for the three months ended March 31, 2007, respectively. The purchase price of the warrants issued to Convertible Senior Noteholders was adjusted from $4.70 to $4.39 per share and approximately 79,000 additional warrants were issued during the three months ended March 31, 2008 in accordance with the anti-dilution protection provision of the Convertible Senior Notes Payable Agreement dated October 27, 2005 (Note E), upon the issuance of the 2,500,000 shares of common stock to a private placement investor (Note G) for a price per share lower than $4.70.

In February 2008, the Company amended certain stock purchase warrants held by private placement investors to reduce the exercise price under such warrants from $4.17 per share to $0.6978258 per share.  The warrants entitled the holders to purchase an aggregate of up to 3,380,000 shares of Telkonet’s common stock.   Subsequently, these private placement investors exercised all of their warrants on a cashless basis using the a five day volume average weighted price (VWAP) as of January 31, 2008 of $.99 resulting in the issuance of 1,000,000 shares of Company common stock.  The Company has accounted for the amended warrants issued, valued at $1,224,236, as other expense using the Black-Scholes pricing model and the following assumptions: contractual term of 5 years, an average risk-free interest rate of 3.5% a dividend yield of 0% and volatility of 70%.  In addition, during the three months ended March 31, 2008, the Company recorded non-cash expenses of $482,863 for the re-pricing of outstanding warrants in accordance with the anti-dilution provision of the warrant agreements.

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.

Senior Convertible Noteholder Claim

The August 14, 2006 Settlement Agreement with the Senior Convertible Debenture Noteholders provided that the number of shares issued to the Noteholders shall be adjusted based upon the arithmetic average of the weighted average price of the Company’s common stock on the American Stock Exchange for the twenty trading days immediately following the settlement date (Note E).  The Company has concluded that, based upon the weighted average of the Company's common stock between August 16, 2006 and September 13, 2006, the Company is entitled to a refund from the two Noteholders.  One of the Noteholders has informed the Company that it does not believe such a refund is required.  As a result, the Company has declined to deliver to the Noteholders certain stock purchase warrants issued to them pursuant to the Settlement Agreement pending resolution of this disagreement. The Noteholder has alleged that the Company has failed to satisfy its obligations under the Settlement Agreement by failing to deliver the warrants. In addition, the Noteholder maintains that the Company has breached certain provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement and, as a result of such breach, such Noteholder claims that it is entitled to receive liquidated damages from the Company. In the Company’s opinion, the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

Purchase Price Contingency

In conjunction with the acquisition of MST on January 31, 2006, the purchase price contingency shares are price protected for the benefit of the former owner of MST (Note B). In the event the Company’s common stock price is below $4.50 per share upon the achievement of thirty three hundred (3,300) subscribers a pro rata adjustment in the number of shares will be required to support the aggregate consideration of $5.4 million. The price protection provision provides a cash benefit to the former owner of MST if the as-defined market price of the Company’s common stock is less than $4.50 per share at the time of issuance from the escrow on or before January 31, 2009. The issuance of additional shares or distribution of other consideration upon resolution of the contingency based on the Company’s common stock prices will not affect the cost of the acquisition. When the contingency is resolved or settled, and additional consideration is distributable, the Company will record the current fair value of the additional consideration and the amount previously recorded for the common stock issued will be simultaneously reduced to the lower current value of the Company’s common stock. In addition, the Company agreed to fully fund the MST three year business plan, established on January 31, 2006, to satisfy the benchmarks established to achieve 3,300 subscribers. In the event, for any reason, the Company materially fails to satisfy its obligations under the acquisition agreement, then the former owners of MST shall be entitled to the release of any and all consideration held in reserve. On May 8, 2008, the Company executed an agreement for a minimum commitment of $2.3 million to fund MST's business plan in accordance with Section 11.1 of the Purchase Agreement between Telkonet and Frank T. Matarazzo. In addition, the adjustment date for the achievement of MST's 3,300 subscribers has been extended an additional six months.

On March 9, 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 for cash and Company common stock having an aggregate value of $6,875,000. The purchase price was comprised of $875,000 in cash and 2,227,273 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company was obligated to register the stock portion of the purchase price on or before May 15, 2007. Pursuant to the registration rights agreement, the registration statement was required to be effective no later than July 14, 2007.  The registration rights agreement does not expressly provide for penalties in the event this deadline is not met.  This registration statement was declared effective on March 14, 2008.

Of the stock issued in the SSI acquisition, 1,090,909 shares were being held in an escrow account for a period of one year following the closing from which certain potential indemnification obligations under the purchase agreement could be satisfied. The aggregate number of shares held in escrow was subject to adjustment upward or downward depending upon the trading price of the Company’s common stock during the one year period following the closing date.  On March 12, 2008, the Company released these shares from escrow and is obligated to issue an additional 1,909,091 shares pursuant to the adjustment provision in the SSI asset purchase agreement.

On October 19, 2007, the Company completed the acquisition of approximately 30.0% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Geeks on Call America, Inc. (“GOCA”).  Under the terms of the stock purchase agreement, the Company acquired approximately 1,160,043 shares of GOCA common stock in exchange for 2,940,202 shares of the Company’s common stock for total consideration valued at approximately $4.5 million. The number of shares issued in connection with this transaction was determined using a per share price equal to the average closing price of the Company’s common stock on the American Stock Exchange (AMEX) during the ten trading days immediately preceding the closing date. The number of shares is subject to adjustment on the first to occur of (i) the date the registration statement relating to such shares is declared effective; and (ii) the date the shares become eligible for resale under Rule 144. The increase or decrease to the number of shares issued will be determined using a per share price equal to the average closing price of the Company’s common stock on the AMEX during the ten trading days immediately preceding the adjustment date.  On April 30, 2008, Telkonet issued an additional 3,046,425 shares of its common stock to the sellers of Geeks on Call America, Inc. to satisfy the adjustment provision.

Senior Convertible Debentures

On February 11, 2008, purchasers of MSTI Holdings, Inc. Debentures executed a letter agreement with MSTI Holdings, Inc. providing that, among other things, in the event Frank Matarazzo ceases being Chief Executive Officer of MSTI Holdings, Inc. will be in default under the Debentures.


NOTE K - MINORITY INTEREST IN SUBSIDIARY

Minority interest in results of operations of consolidated subsidiaries represents the minority shareholders' share of the income or loss of the consolidated subsidiary MST. The minority interest in the consolidated balance sheet reflects the original investment by these minority shareholders in the consolidated subsidiaries, along with their proportional share of the earnings or losses of the subsidiaries.

On January 31, 2006, the Company acquired a 90% interest in MST from Frank Matarazzo, the sole stockholder of MST in exchange for $1.8 million in cash and 1.6 million unregistered shares of the Company’s common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $9,000,000 (See Note B). This transaction resulted in a minority interest of $19,569, which reflects the original investment by the minority shareholder of MST.


 
24

 

On May 24, 2007, MST merged with a wholly-owned subsidiary of MSTI Holdings, Inc. (formerly Fitness Xpress, Inc.). Immediately following the merger, MSTI Holdings Inc. completed an equity financing of approximately $3.1 million through the private placement of common stock and warrants and a debt financing of approximately $6 million through the private placement of debentures and warrants. These transactions resulted in additional minority interest of $4,576,740 and increased the minority interest from 10% to 37% of MSTI Holding, Inc. outstanding common shares.

For the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, the minority shareholder's share of the loss of MST was limited to $508,435 and $0 respectively. The minority interest in MST through March 31, 2007 was a deficit and, in accordance with Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, subsidiary losses should not be charged against the minority interest to the extent of reducing it to a negative amount. As such, any losses will be charged against the Company's operations, as majority owner. However, if future earnings do materialize, the majority owner should be credited to the extent of such losses previously absorbed in the amount of $545,745.

Minority interest at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 amounted to $3,855,877 and $2,978,918, respectively.


NOTE L - BUSINESS CONCENTRATION

Revenue from two (2) major customers approximated $1,949,384 or 39% of total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2008.

Business

Telkonet, Inc., formed in 1999 and incorporated under the laws of the State of Utah, is a leading provider of innovative, centrally managed solutions for integrated energy management, networking, building automation and proactive support services.

Through the revolutionary Telkonet iWire System™ and newly released Series 5 platform, Telkonet utilizes proven PLC technology to deliver commercial high-speed Broadband access from an IP “platform” that is easy to deploy, reliable and cost-effective by leveraging a building’s existing electrical infrastructure. The building’s existing electrical wiring becomes the backbone of a local area network (LAN), which converts virtually every electrical outlet into a high-speed data port without the costly installation of additional wiring or major disruption of business activity.

Through the Company’s majority-owned subsidiary MSTI Holdings, Inc. (MST), the Company is able to offer quadruple play (“Quad-Play”) services to multi-tenant unit (“MTU”) and multi-dwelling unit (“MDU”) residential, hospitality and commercial properties. These Quad- Play services include video, voice, high-speed internet and wireless fidelity (“Wi-Fi”) access.

The Company’s acquisition of EthoStream, LLC, a leading high-speed wireless internet  technology and services provider for the hospitality industry (as described in greater detail below under “Segment Reporting”), has enabled Telkonet to provide installation and support for PLC and HSIA products and third party applications to customers across North America. The Company’s new operating division represented by the assets acquired from Smart Systems International, a leading provider of energy management products and solutions  (as described in greater detail below under “Segment Reporting”), permits the Company to offer new energy management products and solutions to its customers in the United States and Canada.


 
25

 

As a result of Telkonet's acquisition of Smart Systems International and EthoStream, the Company can now provide hospitality owners with a greater return on technology investments. Hotel owners can leverage the Telkonet platform to support wired and wireless Internet access, digital video surveillance, digital displays and the forthcoming networked energy management system. With the synergy of EthoStream’s centralized remote monitoring and management platform extending over HSIA, digital video surveillance and energy management, hospitality owners will have a complete technology offering based on Telkonet’s core PLC system as the infrastructure backbone, demonstrating true technology convergence.

The Company’s headquarters are located at 20374 Seneca Meadows Parkway, Germantown, Maryland 20876. The reports that the Company files pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 can be found at the Company’s web site at www.telkonet.com.

The highlights and business developments for the three months ended March 31, 2008 include the following:

 
·
Consolidated revenue growth of 300% driven by acquisitions, as well as an increase in sales of the Telkonet iWire System™ and Telkonet SmartEnergy products
 
·
Gross profit on consolidated net sales increased to 23% during the three months ended March 31, 2008, compared to -6% for the three months ended March 31, 2007
 
·
a decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses of 16% during the three months ended March 31, 2008, when compared to the three months ended March 31, 2007
 
·
The raising of $1.5 million through a private placement of 2.5 million shares of common stock
 
·
The closing of a $2,500,000 revolving credit facility secured by the Companys accounts receivable.

The Company classifies revenue and cost of sales into two categories: product and recurring. Product revenue is defined as products and installation services for the Company’s broadband networks and energy management products. Recurring (lease) revenue is primarily monthly subscription revenue for support and network maintenance contracts for our broadband network platforms and for Quad Play services (as defined below) offered by MST. Product and labor costs directly related to sales are allocated to cost of sales in the period in which they are provided. For management reporting purposes, all other expenses are classified as operating expenses, and are recorded as such in the consolidated statement of operations. The Company reports financial results for the following operating business segments:

Telkonet Segment

The Telkonet Segment consists of the Telkonet iWire System™ and Series 5 platform, Telkonet SmartEnergy energy management products, and centrally managed high-speed internet network platforms integrated to form a complete SAAS technology platform. This segment employs both direct and indirect sales models to distribute and support its products on a worldwide basis and serves five major markets: hospitality, commercial, industrial, government (including defense and education) and retail.

The Telkonet iWire System™ and Series 5 platform offer a viable and cost-effective alternative to the challenges of hardwiring and wireless local area networks (LANs). Telkonet’s products are designed for use in residential, commercial and industrial applications, including multi-dwelling, hospitality, government and utility  markets. Applications supported by the Telkonet “platform” include, but are not limited to, VoIP telephones, internet connectivity, local area networking, video conferencing, closed circuit security surveillance, point of sale, digital signage and a host of other information services.

Telkonet has been shipping PLC products since 2003, initially targeting the hospitality market followed by the multi-dwelling unit (MDU) market as well as the government and other commercial markets.

The Company released its Series 5 product on March 1, 2008.  The Series 5 product provides enhancements to the Telkonet iWire System™ which include, but are not limited to, the following:
 
·
speed more than 14 times faster than the legacy product,
·
more robust security and data encryption,
·
enhanced quality of service, or QOS,
·
the use of both alternating current, and direct current which makes it highly compatible within utility and industrial space,
·
increased survivability in harsh environments, and
·
additional physical interfaces.

On March 9, 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 for cash and Company common stock having an aggregate value of $6,875,000. The purchase price was comprised of $875,000 in cash and 2,227,273 shares of the Company’s common stock. 1,090,909 of these shares were held in an escrow account for a period of one year following the closing from which certain potential indemnification obligations under the purchase agreement could be satisfied. The aggregate number of shares held in escrow was subject to adjustment upward or downward depending upon the trading price of the Company’s common stock during the one year period following the closing date.  On March 12, 2008, the Company released these shares from escrow and is obligated to issue an additional 1,909,091 shares pursuant to the adjustment provision in the SSI asset purchase agreement.

Many of the largest initiatives within Telkonet center on the sale of energy management products and services. The Telkonet SmartEnergy system uses a combination of occupancy sensors along with intelligent programmable thermostats or controllers to adjust and maintain room temperature according to occupancy, time of day, and environmental factors, for a preset configuration eliminating wasteful heating and cooling of unoccupied rooms, and limiting the damaging impact of improper temperature fluctuations.  On average, the installation of these devices can save 30% per year on heating and cooling energy consumption.

Thus far the hospitality, MDU, educational, and government industries have been highly interested in energy management devices and Telkonet has increased quarterly sales in these markets consistently during the past year.  In addition, Telkonet continues to recognize increased interest and significant wins internationally with its SmartEnergy offering.  Telkonet intends to expand these efforts to facilitate growth acceleration in the installation of our Telkonet SmartEnergy product line.  This effort is supported by the enforcement of new energy conservation legislation such as the Energy Independence and Security Act signed into law by President Bush on December 19, 2007, which contains provisions to improve energy efficiency in appliances and commercial products and reduce federal government energy usage.  Telkonet continues to support these initiatives and will remain at the forefront of green technology solutions throughout 2008 with upcoming introductions such as our networked Telkonet SmartEnergy product line.

Additionally, the integration of the Series Five product line with the energy management products will allow Telkonet to use the electrical grid of commercial buildings as a backbone for the networked Telkonet SmartEnergy solution making it easier, quicker, less intrusive, and less expensive to install and operate the system within a commercial environment.  The benefits of this are twofold.  First, reduced costs provide the possibility of increased margins on Telkonet’s sales.  Second, Telkonet has increased price flexibility in order to respond to competitive market pressures.

On March 15, 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, LLC acquisition enables Telkonet to provide installation and support for PLC products and third party applications to customers across North America. The purchase price of $11,756,097 was comprised of $2.0 million in cash and 3,459,609 shares of the Company’s common stock. The entire stock portion of the purchase price is being held in escrow to satisfy certain potential indemnification obligations of the sellers under the purchase agreement. The shares held in escrow are distributable over the three years following the closing.

One of Telkonet’s largest recurring revenue streams is the Milwaukee-based technical support center that was acquired in the EthoStream transaction.  This support center is one of the only internally-operated hospitality HSIA support centers and the key driver in the quality and customer satisfaction with which EthoStream is credited.  Telkonet’s support center is a  fully operating 24/7, 365 day full-service customer support center that provides e-mail, phone, and technical support not only to hospitality internet access customers but to the third party vendors as well.

This has been a growth market for the past several years due to business travel demand for high quality internet access in hotel rooms.  Additionally, over the past year, the demands for high speed wireless internet access have extended beyond the traditional business traveler with a significant number of leisure travelers also demanding that the service be available.  We have partnered with several large hotel chains allowing us to service more than 2,400 total properties and providing connectivity to more than a million travelers monthly.  We continue these efforts and Telkonet’s hospitality market expansion through working with additional franchisors through approved or preferred affiliations and franchise upgrades or rollouts.

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 consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate significant estimates used in preparing our 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, the Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, Revenue Recognition (“SAB104”), which superceded Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements (“SAB101”). SAB 101 requires 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) collectibility 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 collectibility 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. The Company defers any revenue for which the product has not been delivered or is subject to refund until such time that the Company and the customer jointly determine that the product has been delivered or no refund will be required. SAB 104 incorporates Emerging Issues Task Force 00-21 (“EITF 00-21”), Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements. EITF 00-21 addresses accounting for arrangements that may involve the delivery or performance of multiple products, services and/or rights to use assets.

For equipment under lease, revenue is recognized over the lease term for operating lease and rental contracts. All of the Company’s leases are accounted for as operating leases. At the inception of the lease, no lease revenue is recognized and the leased equipment and installation costs are capitalized and appear on the balance sheet as “Equipment Under Operating Leases.” The capitalized cost of this equipment is depreciated from two to three years, on a straight-line basis down to the Company’s original estimate of the projected value of the equipment at the end of the scheduled lease term. Monthly lease payments are recognized as rental income.  For sales-type leases, we record the discounted present values of minimum rental payments under sales-type leases as sales.

MST accounts for the revenue, costs and expense related to residential cable services as the related services are performed in accordance with SFAS No. 51, Financial Reporting by Cable Television Companies. Installation revenue for residential cable services is recognized to the extent of direct selling costs incurred. Direct selling costs have exceeded installation revenue in all reported periods. Generally, credit risk is managed by disconnecting services to customers who are delinquent. The capitalized cost of this equipment is depreciated from three to ten years, on a straight-line basis down to the Company’s original estimate of the projected value of the equipment at the end of the scheduled lease term and appears on the balance sheet in “Cable and Related Equipment.”

Management identifies a delinquent customer based upon the delinquent payment status of an outstanding invoice, generally greater than 30 days past due.  The delinquent account designation does not trigger an accounting transaction until such time the account is deemed uncollectible. Accounts are deemed uncollectible on a case-by-case basis, at management’s discretion, based upon an examination of the communication with the delinquent customer and payment history.  Typically, accounts are only escalated to “uncollectible” status after multiple attempts have been made to communicate with the customer.  The allowance for doubtful accounts is determined by examining the reserve history and any outstanding invoices that are over 30 days past due as of the end of the reporting period.

Guarantees and Product Warranties

FASB Interpretation No. 45, “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others” (“FIN 45”), requires that, upon issuance of a guarantee, the guarantor must disclose and recognize a liability for the fair value of the obligation it assumes under that guarantee.

The Company’s guarantees were issued subject to the recognition and disclosure requirements of FIN 45 as of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007. The Company records a liability for potential warranty claims. The amount of the liability is based on the trend in the historical ratio of claims to sales, the historical length of time between the sale and resulting warranty claim, new product introductions and other factors. The products sold are generally covered by a warranty for a period of one year. In the event the Company determines that its current or future product repair and replacement costs exceed its estimates, an adjustment to these reserves would be charged to earnings in the period such determination is made. During the three months ended March 31, 2008 and the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company experienced approximately three percent of units returned under its product warranty policy. As March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the Company recorded warranty liabilities in the amount of $122,943 and $102,534, respectively, using this experience factor.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 (SFAS 161).  The SFAS 161 requires companies to provide enhanced disclosures regarding derivative instruments and hedging activities and requires companies to better convey the purpose of derivative use in terms of the risks they intend to manage. Disclosures about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS No. 133 and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect a company’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows are required. This Statement retains the same scope as SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, and is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 161 to have a material impact, if any, on our consolidated financial statements.


 
29

 

In February 2008, the FASB issued a FASB Staff Position (FSP) on Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets and Repurchase Financing Transactions (FSP FAS 140-3). This FSP addresses the issue of whether the transfer of financial assets and the repurchase financing transactions should be viewed as two separate transactions or as one linked transaction. The FSP includes a rebuttable presumption that the two transactions are linked unless the presumption can be overcome by meeting certain criteria. The FSP will be effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 and will apply only to original transfers made after that date; early adoption will not be allowed. We do not expect the adoption of FSP FAS 140-3 to have a material impact, if any, on our consolidated financial statements.

Revenues

The Company’s revenue consists of product sales and a recurring (lease) model in the commercial, government and international markets of the Telkonet Segment. MST revenue consists of Quad-Play services provided to a subscriber portfolio of MDU properties with bulk service agreements and/or access licenses to service the individual subscribers in metropolitan New York.

Product revenue

The Telkonet Segment product revenue principally arises from the sale and installation of broadband networking and energy management equipment, including the Telkonet iWire System™ to commercial resellers, and directly to customers in the hospitality, government and international markets. The Telkonet iWire SystemTM consists of the Telkonet Gateway, the Telkonet Extender, the patented Telkonet Coupler, and the Telkonet iBridge.  The Telkonet SmartEnergy energy management solution  consists of thermostats, sensors and controllers.   Product revenue in the Telkonet Segment increased by approximately $2,640,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008, including approximately $2,250,000 attributed to the sale of energy management products, and approximately $839,000 of products and services to the hospitality market. We anticipate a continued consistent upward trend of quarterly growth in the energy management and hospitality markets. The release of our Series 5 product suite in March 2008 provides significant opportunities in the utility market and expanded opportunities in the government market.

The MST Segment product revenue consists of equipment, installations and ancillary services provided to customers independent of the subscriber model. Product revenue in this segment for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was approximately $157,000.

Recurring (lease) Revenue

The increase in recurring revenue in the Telkonet segment for the three months ended March 31, 2008, reflects the addition of Ethostream’s hospitality portfolio in March 2007, which added approximately 2,000 hotels to our broadband network portfolio, and we currently support over 196,000 HSIA rooms, resulting in recurring revenue of approximately $839,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008. We anticipate growth to our subscriber base as we deploy additional sites under contract in our respective markets.

The recurring revenue for the MST Segment subscriber base increased by approximately $318,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to 2007 primarily from the acquisition of Newport Telecommunications Co. in July 2007. The MST Segment subscriber portfolio includes approximately 22 MDU properties with bulk service agreements and/or access licenses to service the individual subscribers in metropolitan New York.

 Product Costs

The Telkonet Segment product costs include equipment and installation labor related to the Telkonet iWire System TM product suite, as well as wireless networking and energy management products.  During the three months ended March 31, 2008, product costs increased by approximately $2,095,000 for the Telkonet Segment in conjunction with the increased sales to the hospitality, energy management and government markets.

The MST Segment product costs primarily consist of equipment and installation labor for installation and ancillary services provided to customers. For the three months ended March 31, 2008, product costs for the MST segment amount to approximately $88,000.

Recurring (lease) Costs

The Telkonet Segment recurring costs increased by approximately $281,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to the prior year period.  This increase is primarily due to the addition of Ethostream’s customer service and support infrastructure, including an internal call center, to support the Telkonet Segment’s recurring revenue from its customer portfolio.

The MST Segment’s recurring costs increased by approximately $122,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008.  These costs consist of customer support, programming and amortization of the capitalized costs to support the subscriber revenue.  Although MST's programming fees are a significant portion of the cost, MST continues to pursue competitive agreements and volume discounts in conjunction with the anticipated growth of the subscriber base. The customer support costs include build-out of the support services necessary to develop and support the build-out of the Quad-Play subscriber base in metropolitan New York. The capitalized costs are amortized over the lease term and include equipment and installation labor.  Additionally, MST’s recurring costs increased due to the addition of the Newport subscribers in July 2007.

Product Gross Profit

The gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2008 increased compared to the prior year period as a result of product sales and installations in the Telkonet Segment and represented 24% of product revenue. We anticipate an increase in our gross profit trend for product sales as energy management, utility and government market opportunities expand. Additionally, the integration of acquired companies has resulted in opportunities to internalize installation services and streamline processes.

Recurring (lease) Gross Profit

The Telkonet Segment’s gross profit associated with recurring (lease) revenue increased for the three months ended March 31, 2008 by approximately $376,000.  Gross profit represented approximately 48% of recurring (lease) revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2008.  The centralized remote monitoring and management platform and internal call support center will provide the platform to maintain and expand gross profit for the Telkonet Segment’s recurring revenue.


 
31

 

The MST Segments gross profit increased by approximately $196,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008, compared to the prior year period, primarily due to programming costs and the support infrastructure. MST anticipates that an expanded subscriber base utilizing the current infrastructure and reduced programming costs will facilitate increased gross profit.  Gross profit represented approximately -14% of recurring (lease) revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2008.

During the three months ended March 31, 2008, operating expenses for the Telkonet Segment decreased by approximately $777,000, when compared to the prior year period. The Company has achieved significant operating efficiencies since the acquisition of SSI and Ethostream on March 9, 2007 and March 15, 2007, respectively, primarily as a result of a reduction in administrative costs initiated in the fourth quarter of 2007.

 During the three months ended March 31, 2008, operating costs for the MST Segment increased by approximately $481,000 when compared to the prior year period, principally due to public company administrative costs and non-cash stock compensation expenses.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2008 over the comparable prior year by $675,000 or 16%. This decrease is primarily the result of the efficiencies in the organization resulting in salary and related costs reductions of approximately $536,000 as well as reduced travel costs, professional fees and rent and related costs for the Telkonet Segment as compared to the prior year period.  We expect to maintain a consistent quarterly selling, general and administrative expenses as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2008 during the remainder of 2008.

Backlog

The Telkonet Segment maintains contracts and monthly services for more than 2,400 hotels which are expected to generate approximately $3,600,000 annual recurring support and internet advertising revenue.


 
32

 

The Telkonet Segment has maintained certain purchase orders relating to a major utilities energy management initiative provided through the two selected providers. The current order backlog amounts to approximately $650,000 and the estimated remaining program value amounts to $4,500,000 for products and services to be provided through March 2010. In addition, the Company recently contracted a similar energy efficiency program in Wisconsin estimated to achieve 5,000 rooms and establish offerings within utility programs nationally.

The Company has contracted with a national hotel operator to install energy management devices in approximately 16,000 rooms for an approximate value of $3,800,000. The current order backlog for this contract amounts to approximately $2,500,000.  The implementation is anticipated to be completed by the third quarter of 2008.

The MST subscriber portfolio includes approximately 22 MDU properties with bulk service agreements and/or access licenses to service the individual subscribers in metropolitan New York. The remaining terms of the access agreements provide MST access rights from 7 to 15 years with the final agreement expiring in 2016 and the revenues to be recognized under non-cancelable bulk agreements provide a minimum of $2,100,000 in revenue through 2013.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Working Capital

Our working capital decreased by $1,254,853 during the three months ended March 31, 2008 from a working capital deficit of $(2,990,664) at December 31, 2007 to a working capital deficit of $(4,245,517) at March 31, 2008. The decrease in working capital for the three months ended March 31, 2008 is due to a combination of factors, of which the significant factors include:

 
·
Cash had a net decrease from working capital by $1,171,178 for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The most significant uses and proceeds of cash were:

 
o
Approximately $815,000 of cash consumed directly in operating activities

 
o
A private placement from the sale of 2,500,000 shares of common stock at $0.60 per share provided proceeds of $1,500,000.
     
 
o
A repayment of a Senior Note in the amount of $1,500,000 issued to GRQ Consultants, Inc.

Of the total current assets of $4,715,470 as of March 31, 2008, cash represented $458,405.  Of the total current assets of $7,004,168 as of December 31, 2007, cash represented $1,629,584.

Senior Note Payable

On July 24, 2007, Telkonet entered into a Senior Note Purchase Agreement with GRQ Consultants, Inc. pursuant to which the Company issued to GRQ a Senior Promissory Note in the aggregate principal amount of $1,500,000. The Note was due and payable on the earlier to occur of (i) the closing of the Company’s next financing, or (ii) January 28, 2008, and bore interest at a rate of six (6%) percent per annum. The Company incurred approximately $25,000 in fees in connection with this transaction. The net proceeds from the issuance of the Note were used for general working capital needs.  In connection with the issuance of the Note, the Company also issued to GRQ warrants to purchase 359,712 shares of common stock at $4.17 per share. These warrants expire five years from the date of issuance.  On February 8, 2008, this note was repaid in full including $49,750 in interest from the issuance date through the date of repayment.

Convertible Senior Debentures-MST

In May 2007, MST issued Debentures having a principal value of $6,576,350, plus an original issue discount of $526,350, in exchange for $6,050,000 from investors, exclusive of placement fees. The original issue discount to the Debentures is amortized over 12 months. The Debentures accrue interest at 8% per annum commencing on the first anniversary of the original issue date of the Debentures, payable quarterly in cash or common stock, at MST’s option, and mature on April 30, 2010. The Debentures are not callable and are convertible at a conversion price of $0.65 per share into 10,117,462 shares of MST common stock, subject to certain limitations.


 
33

 

In connection with the placement of the Debentures, MST also issued to the Debenture holders, five-year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 5,058,730 shares of MST common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share. In connection with the issuance of the Debentures, MST incurred placement fees of $423,500. Additionally, MST issued its placement agents five-year warrants to purchase 708,222 shares of MST common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share.  On February 11, 2008, the Debenture holders executed a letter agreement with MSTI waiving their rights to receive any potential liquidated damages under the registration rights agreement executed in connection with this transaction in exchange for a reduction in their warrant exercise price from $1.00 to $0.65.

Acquisition of Microwave Satellite Technologies, Inc. (MST)

On January 31, 2006, the Company acquired a 90% interest in MST from Frank Matarazzo, the sole stockholder of MST in exchange for $1.8 million in cash and 1.6 million unregistered shares of the Company’s common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $9,000,000. The cash portion of the purchase price was paid in two installments, $900,000 at closing and $900,000 in February 2007. The stock portion is payable from shares held in escrow, 400,000 shares of which were paid at closing and the remaining 1,200,000 shares of which shall be issued based on the achievement of 3,300 “Triple Play” subscribers over a three year period. As of May 1, 2008, the Company has issued 400,000 shares of the purchase price contingency valued at $1,800,000 as an adjustment to goodwill. In the event the Company’s common stock price is below $4.50 per share upon the final issuance of shares from escrow, a pro rata adjustment in the number of shares will be required to support the aggregate consideration of $5.4 million. As of May 1, 2008, the Company’s common stock price was below $4.50. To the extent that the market price of Company’s common stock is below $4.50 per share upon issuance of the shares from escrow, the number of shares issuable on conversion is ratably increased, which could result in further dilution of the Company’s stockholders.

Acquisition of Smart Systems International (SSI)

On March 9, 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 for cash and Company common stock having an aggregate value of $6,875,000. The purchase price was comprised of $875,000 in cash and 2,227,273 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company was obligated to file a registration statement with respect to the stock portion of the purchase price on or before May 15, 2007. On March 14, 2008, the registration statement was declared effective.

Of the stock issued in the transaction, 1,090,909 shares were held in an escrow account for a period of one year following the closing from which certain potential indemnification obligations under the purchase agreement could be satisfied. The aggregate number of shares held in escrow is subject to adjustment upward or downward depending upon the trading price of the Company’s common stock during the one year period following the closing date.   On March 12, 2008, the Company released these shares from escrow and is obligated to issue an additional 1,909,091 shares pursuant to the adjustment provisions of the SSI asset purchase agreement.

Acquisition of Ethostream, LLC

On March 15, 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 purchase price of $11,756,097 was comprised of $2.0 million in cash and 3,459,609 shares of the Company’s common stock. The entire stock portion of the purchase price is being held in escrow to satisfy certain potential indemnification obligations of the sellers under the purchase agreement. The shares held in escrow are distributable over the three years following the closing. The aggregate number of shares issuable to the sellers is subject to downward adjustment in the event the Company’s common stock trades at or above a price of $4.50 per share for twenty consecutive trading days during the one year period following the closing.

Proceeds from the issuance of common stock

During the three months ended March 31, 2008, the Company issued 2,500,000 shares of common stock valued at $0.60 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $1,500,000.  The proceeds of this offering were used to repay the principal of the Senior Promissory Note to GRQ.

Cashflow analysis

Cash utilized in operating activities was $814,661 during the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to $4,813,002 in the previous comparable period. The primary use of cash during the three months ended March 31, 2008 was for operating activities.

The Company utilized cash for investing activities of $449,354 and $4,086,052 during the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.  During the three months ended March 31, 2008, these expenditures were primarily due to the purchase of equipment under operating lease by MST.  In 2007, these expenditures primarily arose from the payment of the cash portion of the MST purchase price of $900,000 and cash payments of $875,000 and $2,000,000, for the acquisition of SSI and Ethostream, respectively. The cost of equipment under operating leases amounted to $440,353 and $276,292 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007. Furthermore, purchases of property and equipment amounted to $9,001 and $34,760 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

The Company had cash from financing activities of $92,837 and $9,442,041 during the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The financing activities involved the sale of 2.5 million shares of common stock at $0.60 per share for a total of $1,500,000, in February 2008, the proceeds of which were used to repay the outstanding principal amount on the GRQ Note.  Additionally, the Company received a $200,000 loan from a board member, which was offset by $102,185 in financing costs paid in connection with the accounts receivable factoring program initiated in February 2008.  During the three months ended March 31, 2007, the financing activities represented proceeds from the sale of 4.0 million shares of common stock at $2.50 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $9,610,000, net of placement fees, and proceeds from the exercise of stock options and warrants of $31,000

We are reducing cash required for operations by reducing operating costs and 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.

Our registered independent certified public accountants have stated in their report dated March 31, 2008, that we have incurred operating losses in the past years, and that we are dependent upon management's ability to develop profitable operations. These factors, among others, may raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

While we have raised capital in the First Quarter of 2008 to meet our working capital and financing needs, additional financing is required in order to meet our current and projected cash flow requirements from operations and development. Additional investments are being sought, but we cannot guarantee that we will be able to obtain such investments on favorable terms or at all. Financing transactions may include the issuance of equity or debt securities, obtaining credit facilities, or other financing mechanisms. However, the trading price of our common stock and the downturn in the U.S. stock and debt markets could make it more difficult to obtain financing through the issuance of equity or debt securities. Even if we are able to raise the funds required, it is possible that we could incur unexpected costs and expenses, fail to collect significant amounts owed to us, or experience unexpected cash requirements that would force us to seek alternative financing which we may not be able to obtain. Further, if we issue additional equity or debt securities, stockholders may experience additional dilution or the new equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing holders of our common stock. If additional financing is not available or is not available on acceptable terms, we will have to curtail our operations.

Inflation

We do not believe that inflation has had a material effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. If our costs were to become subject to significant inflationary pressures, we may not be able to fully offset such higher costs through price increases. Our inability or failure to do so could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Acquisition or Disposition of Property and Equipment

During the three months ended March 31, 2008, fixed assets and costs under operating leases increased $675,539 primarily from purchases of equipment for the MST Quad-Play build-out. The remainder is related to computer equipment and peripherals used in day-to-day operations. The Company anticipates significant expenditures in the MST Segment to continue the build-out the head-end equipment, IPTV and other related projects. The Telkonet Segment does not anticipate the sale or purchase of any significant property, plant or equipment during the next twelve months, other than the purchase of computer equipment and peripherals to be used in the Company’s day-to-day operations.

In April 2005, the Company entered into a three-year lease agreement for 6,742 square feet of commercial office space in Crystal City, Virginia. Pursuant to this lease, the Company agreed to assume a portion of the build-out cost for this facility. In February 2007, the Company agreed to sub-lease the Crystal City, Virginia office through the remaining term of the contract resulting in a loss of approximately $192,000.  This lease terminated in March 2008.


 
35

 

MST presently leases 12,600 square feet of commercial office space in Hawthorne, New Jersey for its office and warehouse spaces. This lease will expire in April 2010.

Following the acquisitions of Smart Systems International and Ethostream, the Company assumed leases on 9,000 square feet of office space in Las Vegas, NV for Smart Systems International on a month to month basis and 4,100 square feet of office space in Milwaukee, WI for Ethostream. The Ethostream lease expires in May 2011.  The Las Vegas, NV office lease expired on April 30, 2008.

Number of Employees

As of May 1, 2008, the Company had 169 full time employees.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Short Term Investments

Our excess cash is held in money market accounts in a bank and brokerage firms both of which are nationally ranked top tier firms with an average return of approximately 400 basis points. Due to the conservative nature of our investment portfolio, an increase or decrease of 100 basis points in interest rates would not have a material effect on our results of operations or the fair value of our portfolio.

Marketable Securities

Telkonet maintained investments in two publicly-traded companies for the three months ended March 31, 2008.  The Company has classified these securities as available for sale.  Such securities are carried at fair market value.  Unrealized gains and losses on these securities, if any, are reported as accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), which is a separate component of stockholders’ equity.  Unrealized losses of $538,967 were recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and there were no unrealized gains or losses for the three months ended March 31, 2007.  Realized gains and losses and declines in value judged to be other than temporary on securities available for sale, if any, are included in operations.  There were no realized gains or losses for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Investments in Privately Held Companies

We have invested in privately held companies, which are in the startup or development stages. These investments are inherently risky because the markets for the technologies or products these companies are developing are typically in the early stages and may never materialize. As a result, we could lose our entire initial investment in these companies. In addition, we could also be required to hold our investment indefinitely, since there is presently no public market in the securities of these companies and none is expected to develop. These investments are carried at cost, which as of May 1, 2008 was $8,000 and are recorded in other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures.

As of March 31, 2008, the Company performed an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (Principal Accounting Officer), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a - 15(e) or 15d - 15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information required to be included in the Company’s periodic filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. During the three months ended March 31, 2008, there was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) 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.

None.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

The Company’s results of operations, financial condition and cash flows can be adversely affected by various risks. These risks include, but are not limited to, the principal factors listed below and the other matters set forth in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. You should carefully consider all of these risks.

The Company has a history of operating losses and an accumulated deficit and expects to continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future.

Since inception through March 31, 2008, the Company has incurred cumulative losses of $95,936,810 and has never generated enough funds through operations to support its business. Additional capital may be required in order to provide working capital requirements for the next twelve months.

A significant portion of our total assets consists of goodwill, which is subject to a periodic impairment analysis and a significant impairment determination in any future period could have an adverse effect on our results of operations even without a significant loss of revenue or increase in cash expenses attributable to such period.

We have goodwill totaling approximately $14.7 million at March 31, 2008 resulting from recent and past acquisitions. We evaluate this goodwill for impairment based on the fair value of the operating business units to which this goodwill relates at least once a year. This estimated fair value could change if we are unable to achieve operating results at the levels that have been forecasted, the market valuation of those business units decreases based on transactions involving similar companies, or there is a permanent, negative change in the market demand for the services offered by the business units. These changes could result in an impairment of the existing goodwill balance that could require a material non-cash charge to our results of operations.
 
Obligations to the holders of MST’s debentures are secured by all of MST’s assets, so if MST defaults on those obligations, the debenture holders could foreclose on MST’s assets.

The holders of MST’s debentures have a security interest in all of MST’s assets and those of its subsidiary. As a result, if MST defaults under its obligations to the debenture holders, the debenture holders could foreclose their security interests and liquidate some or all of these assets, which may cause MST to cease operations.  Since we consolidate the financial statements of MST, the sale of substantially all of MSTs assets as a result of a default under the debentures could materially adversely affect our results of operations.

Our independent auditors have expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, which may hinder our ability to obtain future financing.

In their report dated March 31, 2008, our independent auditors stated that our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2007 were prepared assuming that we would continue as a going concern, and that they have substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.  Our auditors’ doubts are based on our incurring net losses and deficits in cash flows from operations.  We continue to experience net operating losses.  Our ability to continue as a going concern is subject to our ability to generate a profit and/or obtain necessary funding from outside sources, including by the sale of our securities, or obtaining loans from financial institutions, where possible.  Our continued net operating losses and our auditors’ doubts increase the difficulty of our meeting such goals and our efforts to continue as a going concern may not prove successful.
