Indicate the number of shares outstanding of each of the issuer's classes of common equity, as of the latest practicable date: 100,089,493 shares of Common Stock ($.001 par value) as of August 16, 2010.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Telkonet Inc. (the “Company”), have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Accordingly, the results from operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2010, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2010. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated December 31, 2009 financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Form 10-K filed with the SEC.
The consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2009 have been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but do not include all disclosures required by the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
In January 2006, following the acquisition of Microwave Satellite Technologies (MST), 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). In 2009, the Company completed the deconsolidation of MST by reducing its ownership percentage and board membership. Financial statements and accompanying notes included in this report include disclosure of the results of operations for MST, for all periods presented, as discontinued operations.
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.
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 from continuing operations of $(188,301) for the period ended June 30, 2010, accumulated deficit of $(113,929,782) and total current liabilities in excess of current assets of $(6,154,032) as of June 30, 2010.
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 from operations 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 intends to raise capital through asset-based financing and/or 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 successful in obtaining additional funding.
In January 2008, we adopted the provisions under FASB for Fair Value Measurements, which define fair value for accounting purposes, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure requirements regarding fair value measurements. Our adoption of these provisions did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. Fair value is defined as an exit price, which is the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid upon transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The degree of judgment utilized in measuring the fair value of assets and liabilities generally correlates to the level of pricing observability. Financial assets and liabilities with readily available, actively quoted prices or for which fair value can be measured from actively quoted prices in active markets generally have more pricing observability and require less judgment in measuring fair value. Conversely, financial assets and liabilities that are rarely traded or not quoted have less price observability and are generally measured at fair value using valuation models that require more judgment. These valuation techniques involve some level of management estimation and judgment, the degree of which is dependent on the price transparency of the asset, liability or market and the nature of the asset or liability. We have categorized our financial assets and liabilities that are recurring, at fair value into a three-level hierarchy in accordance with these provisions.
sale, if any, are included in operations. Realized losses of $29,371 were recognized for the six months ended June 30, 2009, of which, the loss was recorded in February 2009 for the sale of the Company’s remaining investment in Multiband.
The Company computes earnings per share under Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 260-10, Earnings Per Share (“ASC 260-10”). Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common and common stock equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive common stock equivalents consist of shares issuable upon conversion of convertible notes and the exercise of the Company's stock options and warrants.
For revenue from product sales, we recognize revenue in accordance with FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, 605-10, and ASC Topic 13 guidelines that require that four basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred; (3) the selling price is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. Determination of criteria (3) and (4) are based on management’s judgments regarding the fixed nature of the selling prices of the products delivered and the collectability of those amounts. Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances, and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded. We defer any revenue for which the product has not been delivered or is subject to refund until such time that we and the customer jointly determine that the product has been delivered or no refund will be required. The guidelines also address the accounting for arrangements that may involve the delivery or performance of multiple products, services and/or rights to use assets.
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.
We account for our stock based awards in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 718-10, Compensation (“ASC 718-10”), which requires a fair value measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to our employees and directors, including employee stock options and restricted stock awards. We estimate the fair value of stock options granted using the Black-Scholes valuation model. This model requires us to make estimates and assumptions including, among other things, estimates regarding the length of time an employee will retain vested stock options before exercising them, the estimated volatility of our common stock price and the number of options that will be forfeited prior to vesting. The fair value is then amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods of the awards, which is generally the vesting period. Changes in these estimates and assumptions can materially affect the determination of the fair value of stock-based compensation and consequently, the related amount recognized in our consolidated statements of operations.
The expected term of the options represents the estimated period of time until exercise and is based on historical experience of similar awards, giving consideration to the contractual terms, vesting schedules and expectations of future employee behavior. For 2010 and prior years, expected stock price volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock for the related vesting periods.
Stock-based compensation expense in connection with options granted to employees for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 was $88,181 and $167,620, respectively.
In February 2010, the FASB Accounting Standards Update 2010-10 (ASU 2010-10), “Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments for Certain Investment Funds.” The amendments in this Update are effective as of the beginning of a reporting entity’s first annual period that begins after November 15, 2009 and for interim periods within that first reporting period. Early application is not permitted. The adoption of provisions of ASU 2010-10 does not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
ASU No. 2010-11 was issued in March 2010, and clarifies that the transfer of credit risk that is only in the form of subordination of one financial instrument to another is an embedded derivative feature that should not be subject to potential bifurcation and separate accounting. This ASU will be effective for the first fiscal quarter beginning after June 15, 2010, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the provisions of ASU 2010-11 to have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.
In April 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2010-12. “Income Taxes” (Topic 740). In April 2010, the FASB (Financial Accounting Standards Board) issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-12 (ASU 2010-12), Income Taxes (Topic 740): Accounting for Certain Tax Effects of the 2010 Health Care Reform Acts. After consultation with the FASB, the SEC stated that it “would not object to a registrant incorporating the effects of the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 when accounting for the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act”. The Company does not expect the provisions of ASU 2010-12 to have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.
ASU No. 2010-13 was issued in April 2010, and will clarify the classification of an employee share based payment award with an exercise price denominated in the currency of a market in which the underlying security trades. This ASU will be effective for the first fiscal quarter beginning after December 15, 2010, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the provisions of ASU 2010-13 to have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.
In April 2010, the FASB (Financial Accounting Standards Board) issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-17 (ASU 2010-17), Revenue Recognition-Milestone Method (Topic 605): Milestone Method of Revenue Recognition. The amendments in this Update are effective on a prospective basis for milestones achieved in fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. If a vendor elects early adoption and the period of adoption is not the beginning of the entity’s fiscal year, the entity should apply the amendments retrospectively from the beginning of the year of adoption. The Company does not expect the provisions of ASU 2010-17 to have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.
In April 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2010-18 “Receivables (Topic 310) – Effect of a Loan Modification When the Loan is Part of a Pool that is Accounted for as a Single Asset – a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force.” ASU 2010-18 provides guidance on account for acquired loans that have evidence of credit deterioration upon acquisition. It allows acquired assets with common risk characteristics to be accounted for in the aggregate as a pool. ASU 2010-18 is effective for modifications of loans accounted for within pools under Subtopic 310-30 in the first interim or annual reporting period ending on or after July 15, 2010. The Company does not expect ASU 2010-18 to have an impact on its financial condition, results of operations, or disclosures.
In May 2010, the FASB (Financial Accounting Standards Board) issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-19 (ASU 2010-19), Foreign Currency (Topic 830): Foreign Currency Issues: Multiple Foreign Currency Exchange Rates. The amendments in this Update are effective as of the announcement date of March 18, 2010. The Company does not expect the provisions of ASU 2010-19 to have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.
There were various other updates recently issued, most of which represented technical corrections to the accounting literature or application to specific industries and are not expected to a have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Total amortization expense charged to operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 was $60,420 and $120,840, and $60,417 and $120,833, respectively.
The Company does not amortize goodwill. The Company recorded goodwill in the amount of $14,670,455 as a result of the acquisitions of EthoStream and SSI during the year ended December 31, 2007. The Company evaluates goodwill for impairment based on the fair value of the operating business units to which this goodwill relates at least once a year. The Company generally determines the fair value of a reporting unit using a combination of the income approach, which is based on the present value of estimated future cash flows, and the market approach, which compares the business unit's multiples to its competitors. At December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company has determined that a portion of the value of EthoStream’s goodwill has been impaired based upon management’s assessment of operating results and forecasted discounted cash flow and has written off a total of $3,000,000 of its value.
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 amounted to $123,787 and $105,189 for the period ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The amounts borrowed are collateralized by the outstanding accounts receivable, and are reflected as a reduction to accounts receivable in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
In connection with a payment of $75,000 of accounts receivable, the company received 30,000 shares of common stock of Multiband Corporation, a Minnesota-based communication services provider to multiple dwelling units. The Company classifies this security as available for sale, and is carried at fair market value. The Company sold its remaining investment in Multiband and recorded a loss of $29,371 during the six months ended June 30, 2009.
In September 2008, the Company entered into a two-year line of credit facility with a third party financial institution. The line of credit has an aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000 and is secured by the Company’s inventory. The outstanding principal balance bears interest at the greater of (i) the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate plus nine (9%) percent per annum, adjusted on the date of any change in such prime or base rate, or (ii) Sixteen percent (16%). Interest, computed on a 365/360 simple interest basis, and fees on the credit facility are payable monthly in arrears on the last day of each month and continuing on the last day of each month until the maturity date. The Company may prepay amounts outstanding under the credit facility in whole or in part at any time. In the event of such prepayment, the lender will be entitled to receive a prepayment fee of four percent (4.0%) of the highest aggregate loan commitment amount if prepayment occurs before the end of the first year and three percent (3.0%) if prepayment occurs thereafter. The outstanding borrowing under the agreement at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 was $98,583 and $387,000, respectively. The Company has incurred interest expense of $41,898 and $78,069 related to the line of credit for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The Prime Rate was 3.25% at June 30, 2010.
On August 13, 2010, the Company received a notice of waiver of the “minimum cash flow to debt service ratio” and the “tangible net worth” requirements under the line of credit facility, as such terms are defined in items D(10)a and D(10)b, respectively, of the line of credit agreement. The waiver is in effect as of June 30, 2010 and continues for the 90 day period thereafter. The outstanding principal balance is subject to additional interest of three (3%) percent per annum until such debt covenant requirements are met.

As of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Company has $1,606,023 outstanding in convertible debentures. During the year ended December 31, 2009, $722,514 of convertible debentures was converted into 8,174,943 shares of common stock.
On September 11, 2009, the Company entered into a Loan Agreement in the aggregate principal amount of $300,000 with the Wisconsin Department of Commerce (the “Department”). The outstanding principal balance bears interest at the annual rate of two (2.00) percent. Payment of interest and principal is to be made in the following manner: (a) payment of any and all interest that accrues from the date of disbursement commences on January 1, 2010 and continues on the first day of each consecutive month thereafter through and including December 31, 2010; (b) commencing on January 1, 2011 and continuing on the first day of each consecutive month thereafter through and including November 1, 2016, the Company shall pay equal monthly installments of $4,426 each; followed by a final installment on December 1, 2016 which shall include all remaining principal, accrued interest and other amounts owed by the Company to the Department under the Loan Agreement. The Company may prepay amounts outstanding under the credit facility in whole or in part at any time without penalty. The credit facility is secured by the Company’s assets and the proceeds from this loan were used for the working capital requirements of the Company. The outstanding borrowing under the agreement at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 was $300,000.
On November 16, 2009, the Company sold 215 shares of Series A with attached warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,628,800 shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.33 per share. The Series A shares were sold at a price per share of $5,000 and each Series A share is convertible into approximately 13,774 shares of common stock at a conversion price of $0.363 per share. The Company received $1,075,000 from the sale of the Series A shares. Since the Series A may ultimately be redeemable at the option of the holder, the carrying value of the preferred stock, net of discount and accumulated dividends, has been classified as temporary equity on the balance sheet at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009.
The charge to additional paid in capital for amortization of discount and costs for the period ended June 30, 2010 was $35,802. There was no amortization of discounts for Series A preferred stock for the period ended June 30, 2009.
For the three months ended June 30, 2010 we have accrued dividends in the amount of $21,446 and cumulative accrued dividends of $42,658.

Ronald Pickett v. Telkonet, Inc.
As of June 30, 2010, we were a defendant in the matter captioned Ronald Pickett v. Telkonet, Inc., in the Circuit Court for Montgomery County, Maryland. The Plaintiff alleged that the Company failed to pay severance compensation in the amount of $238,000 as well as certain benefits and claimed an additional amount of $63,000 in unpaid business and travel expenses. The plaintiff sought an award of treble damages on the severance claim alleging that the claimed benefits constitute “wages” under the Maryland Wage Payment and Collection Act; though as an alternative to the breach of contract claim the plaintiff plead the equitable claim of promissory estoppel/detrimental reliance. The court granted our motion for summary judgment on the breach of contract and treble damages claim. The Company conceded the expenses issue and the only issue left before the court was the promissory estoppel/detrimental reliance claim. On July 14, 2010, the court, after hearing testimony on the matter, issued a verdict in favor of the plaintiff in the amount of $259,456 (including prejudgment interest and gave the Company forty five (45) days from the entry of the judgment to satisfy the judgment after which the plaintiff may commence enforcement proceedings.

Telkonet, Inc. in the Circuit Court for Montgomery County, State of Maryland.
On August 1, 2008, we timely filed an answer to the complaint denying the allegations. On February 27, 2009, the United States Patent Office ("USPTO") granted a reexamination request with respect to the patent the defendants allegedly infringe upon. Based upon four highly relevant and material prior art references that had not been considered by the USPTO in its initial examination, it found a “substantial new question of patentability” affecting all claims of the patent allegedly infringed upon. There is a possibility that the claims of the patent will be cancelled or narrowed during the reexamination which may result in the narrowing or elimination of some and possibly all of the issues in the pending litigation. The case is currently in discovery. A mandatory mediation will likely be held in September, 2010.
Defendant Ramada Worldwide, Inc. provided us with notice of the suit and demanded that we defend and indemnify it pursuant to a vendor direct supplier agreement between EthoStream and WWC Supplier Services, Inc., a Ramada affiliate (wherein we agreed to indemnify, defend and hold Ramada harmless from and against claims of infringement). After a review of that agreement, it was determined that EthoStream owes the duty to defend and indemnify and it has assumed Ramada’s defense. An answer on Ramada’s behalf was filed in U.S. District Court, for the Eastern District of Texas, Marshall Division on September 19, 2008. The matter is currently pending in that court.

The table below sets forth a summary of changes in the fair value of the Company’s Level 3 financial liabilities (convertible notes and derivative liability) for the six months ended June 30, 2010.
On April 22, 2009, the Company completed the deconsolidation of MST by reducing its ownership percentage and board membership. The deconsolidation of MST has been accounted for as discontinued operations and accordingly, the assets and liabilities have been segregated in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet and reclassified as discontinued operations. The operating results relating to MST have been reclassified from continuing operations and reported as discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
On April 22, 2009, Warren V. Musser and Thomas C. Lynch, members of the Company’s Board of Directors, submitted their resignations as directors of MSTI. As a result of these resignations, and the decrease in beneficial ownership resulting from the transaction described above, the Company is no longer required to consolidate MSTI as a majority- owned subsidiary and the Company’s investment in MSTI will now be accounted for under the cost method.
On June 26, 2009, MSTI entered into an Agreement and Consent to Acceptance of Collateral (“Agreement”) with its senior secured lenders, Alpha Capital Anstalt, Gemini Master Fund, Ltd., Whalehaven Capital Fund Limited and Brio Capital L.P. (“Secured Lenders”). The Secured Lenders were the senior secured creditors of MSTI with regard to obligations in the total principal amount of $1,893,295 (together, the “Secured Lender Obligations”).
Under the Agreement: (a) MSTI (i) agreed and consented to the transfer to MST Acquisition Group LLC (the “Designee”), for the benefit of the Secured Lenders, of all of the assets of MSTI (the “Pledged Collateral”) in full satisfaction of the Secured Lender Obligations, and (ii) waived and released (x) all right, title and interest it has or might have in or to the Pledged Collateral, including any right to redemption, and (y) any claim for a surplus; and (b) the Secured Lenders agreed to accept the Pledged Collateral in full satisfaction of the Secured Lender Obligations and waived and released MSTI from any further obligations with respect to the Secured Lender Obligations.
Net income (loss) from discontinued operations on the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2009 includes the gain on deconsolidation of $6,932,586, offset by MSTI's net losses of $(635,735) for the period January 1, 2009 through April 30, 2009, the date of deconsolidation. The market value of the MSTI common shares owned by the Company as of December 31, 2009 was deemed permanently impaired by management and as a result the Company has fully written off its investment in MSTI and has not included any value for MSTI in the balance sheet as of December 31, 2009.
The following table summarizes net income from discontinued operations for the period ended June 30, 2009.
As of June 30, 2010, we were a defendant in the matter captioned Ronald Pickett v. Telkonet, Inc., in the Circuit Court for Montgomery County, Maryland. The Plaintiff alleged that the Company failed to pay severance compensation in the amount of $238,000 as well as certain benefits and claimed an additional amount of $63,000 in unpaid business and travel expenses. The plaintiff sought an award of treble damages on the severance claim alleging that the claimed benefits constitute “wages” under the Maryland Wage Payment and Collection Act; though as an alternative to the breach of contract claim the plaintiff plead the equitable claim of promissory estoppel/detrimental reliance. The court granted our motion for summary judgment on the breach of contract and treble damages claim. The Company conceded the expenses issue and the only issue left before the court was the promissory estoppel/detrimental reliance claim. On July 14, 2010, the court, after hearing testimony on the matter, issued a verdict in favor of the plaintiff in the amount of $259,456.00 (including prejudgment interest and gave the Company forty five (45) days from the entry of the judgment to satisfy the judgment after which the plaintiff may commence enforcement proceedings. The Company has thirty (30) days following the entry of judgment within which to take an appeal. The Company is currently considering its options and has accrued the amount of the judgment as of June 30, 2010.
On August 4, 2010, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement in connection with a private placement of 267 shares of the Company’s Series B Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share, and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 5,134,626 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share. The Company completed the transaction on August 6, 2010 and received gross proceeds of $1,335,000 from the sale of the Series B shares. The Series B shares were sold at a price per share of $5,000 and the Warrants have an exercise price of $0.13, which is equal to the closing bid price of a share of common stock on August 4, 2010. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the sale of the Series B shares and the Warrants for sales and marketing, inventory and general working capital needs and may use the proceeds in the short term to repay certain outstanding indebtedness, satisfy judgments against the Company and to pay expenses of the offering as well as other general corporate capital purposes.

Telkonet, Inc. was formed in 1999 and is incorporated under the laws of the state of Utah. We develop, manufacture and sell proprietary energy efficiency and smart grid networking technology products and platforms that have helped position us as a leading clean technology provider.
We began as a developer of powerline communications, or PLC, technology. Our proprietary, patented PLC products utilize a building’s internal electrical wiring to form a data communications network, turning power outlets into data ports while leaving the electrical functionality unaffected. In 2003, we launched our PlugPlusInternet suite of products, designed to maximize the use of the existing electrical wiring in commercial buildings, such as hotels, schools, multi-dwelling units, government and military buildings and office buildings. Our PlugPlusInternet products provided high-speed Internet access throughout a building, utilizing the electrical wiring already in place, converting virtually every electrical outlet into a high-speed data network. The PlugPlusInternet product suite was comprised of the PlugPlus Gateway, the PlugPlus Coupler and the PlugPlus Modem, which together built an Internet delivery system throughout an entire building. We received our first order for our PlugPlusInternet products in October 2003.
In March 2007, we completed two strategic acquisitions. On March 15, 2007, we completed the acquisition of EthoStream, LLC, or EthoStream, a leading high-speed wireless Internet access, or HSIA, solutions and technology provider targeting the hospitality industry with a customer base then consisting of approximately 1,800 hotel and timeshare properties representing in excess of 180,000 guest rooms. We acquired 100% of the outstanding membership units of EthoStream for a purchase price of $11,756,097, which was comprised of $2.0 million in cash and 3,459,609 shares of our common stock. The entire stock portion of the purchase price was deposited into escrow upon closing 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. As of June 30, 2010, all shares are distributed to investors.
Our EthoStream Hospitality Network is now one of the largest hospitality HSIA service providers in the United States, with a customer base of approximately 2,350 properties representing over 205,000 hotel rooms. This network has created a ready opportunity for us to market our energy efficiency solutions. It also provides a marketing opportunity for our more traditional HSIA offerings, including the Telkonet iWire System. The iWire System offers a fast and cost effective way to deliver commercial high-speed broadband access using a building’s existing electrical infrastructure to convert virtually every electrical outlet into a high-speed data port without the installation of additional wiring or major disruption of business activity. The EthoStream Hospitality Network represents a significant portion of our hospitality growth and market share. The EthoStream Hospitality Network is backed by a 24/7 U.S.-based in-house support center that uses integrated, web-based centralized management tools enabling proactive customer support.
While we continue to grow the EthoStream Hospitality Network, through our March 9, 2007 acquisition of Smart Systems International, or SSI, a leading manufacturer of in-room energy management systems for the hospitality industry with over 60,000 product installs as of the acquisition date, and the continued development of our PLC products, we have evolved into a “clean technology” company that develops, manufactures and sells proprietary energy efficiency and smart grid networking technology. We acquired substantially all of the assets of SSI for cash and shares of our 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 our common stock. 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 was subject to adjustment upward or downward depending upon the trading price of our common stock during the one year period following the closing date. On March 12, 2008, we released these shares from escrow, and on June 12, 2008 we issued an additional 1,882,225 shares pursuant to the adjustment provisions of the SSI asset purchase agreement.
Our Telkonet SmartEnergy, or TSE, and Networked Telkonet SmartEnergy, or NTSE, energy efficiency products incorporate our patented Recovery Time™ technology, allowing for the continuous monitoring of climate conditions to automatically adjust a room’s temperature accounting for the presence or absence of an occupant. Our SmartEnergy products save energy while at the same time ensuring occupant comfort. This technology is particularly attractive to our customers in the hospitality area, as well as the education, healthcare and government/military markets, who are continually seeking ways to reduce costs without impacting building occupant comfort. By reducing energy usage automatically when a space is unoccupied, our customers are able to realize a significant cost savings without diminishing occupant comfort. The hospitality, education, healthcare and government/military markets represent a significant audience for the occupancy-based energy management controls offered by the SmartEnergy platform and provide a large footprint for utility-based consumption management. This platform may also be integrated with property management systems, automation systems and load shedding initiatives to increase the savings recognized. Working directly with management companies and utilities allows us to offer enhanced opportunities to our customers for savings and control. Our energy management systems are dynamically lowering HVAC costs in over 180,000 rooms and are an integral part of the numerous state and federal energy efficiency and rebate programs.
Our smart grid networking technology, including the Telkonet iWire System and the 200 Mbps Telkonet Series 5 PLC products, use PLC technology to quickly, economically and non-disruptively transform a site’s existing internal electrical infrastructure into an internet protocol, or IP, network backbone. Our PLC systems offer the hard-wired security and reliability of a CAT-5 cabled network, but without the cost, physical disturbance and business disruption of wiring CAT-5 or the security issues inherent to wireless systems.
The development of an industrial PLC product for use within the utility space has introduced a competitive alternative to traditional local area network, or LAN, solutions. By capitalizing on the shortcomings of previously available offerings, we have gained traction and opened a new market opportunity. Our Series 5 SmartGrid networking technology provides a compelling solution for power substation automation, power generation, renewable facilities, manufacturing, and research environments by providing a rapidly-deployed, low cost alternative to structured cable, wireless and fiber. Operating at 200 Mbps, our PLC platform offers a secure new competitive alternative in grid communications, enabling LAN infrastructure for power substation command and control, monitoring and grid management, transforming a traditional power management system into a “smart grid” that delivers electricity in a manner that can save energy, reduce cost and increase reliability. By leveraging the existing electrical wiring within a facility to transport data, our PLC solutions enable facilities to deploy sensing and control systems to locations without the need for new network wiring, and without the security risks associated with wireless systems.
We employ direct and indirect sales channels in all areas of our business. With a growing value-added reseller network, we continue to broaden our reach throughout the industry. Utilizing key integrators and strategic OEM partners, we have been able to recognize significant success in each of our targeted markets. With an increasing share of our business originating outside of the hospitality industry, we have proven the versatility of our technology and the savings that can be derived through the use of our products.
On January 31, 2006, we acquired a 90% interest in Microwave Satellite Technologies, Inc. from Frank Matarazzo, its sole stockholder, in exchange for $1.8 million in cash and 1.6 million unregistered shares of our 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 reserve shares, which shall be issued based on the achievement of 3,300 video and data subscribers over a three year period from the closing (later extended to July 2009 pursuant to a May 2008 agreement between the parties). The escrow agreement terminated on July 31, 2009. As of August 14, 2009, we had issued 800,000 of the reserve shares.
On April 22, 2009, we completed the deconsolidation of our subsidiary, MSTI Holdings, Inc., or MSTI. To effect the deconsolidation of MSTI, we were required to reduce our ownership percentage and board membership in MSTI. On February 26, 2009, we executed a Stock Purchase Agreement pursuant to which we sold 2.8 million shares of MSTI common stock and as a result of this transaction, we reduced our beneficial ownership in MSTI from 58% to 49% of the issued and outstanding shares of MSTI common stock. On April 22, 2009, Warren V. Musser and Thomas C. Lynch, members of our Board of Directors, submitted their resignations as directors of MSTI. Because of these resignations we no longer control a majority of MSTI’s board of directors. As a result of the deconsolidation, the financial statements and accompanying footnotes included in this prospectus include disclosures of the results of operations of MSTI, for all periods presented, as discontinued operations.
This report may contain “forward-looking statements,” which represent the Company’s expectations or beliefs, including, but not limited to, statements concerning industry performance and the Company’s results, operations, performance, financial condition, plans, growth and strategies, which include, without limitation, statements preceded or followed by or that include the words “may,” “will,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “could,” “estimate,” or “continue” or the negative or other variations thereof or comparable terminology. Any statements contained in this report or the information incorporated by reference that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27(A) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21(F) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. For such statements, the Company claims the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements by their nature involve substantial risks and uncertainties, some of which are beyond the Company’s control, and actual results may differ materially depending on a variety of important factors, including those risk factors discussed under “Trends, Risks and Uncertainties”, many of which are also beyond the Company’s control. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this report. The Company does not undertake any obligation to update or release any revisions to these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this report or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, except to the extent such updates and/or revisions are required by applicable law.
For revenue from product sales, the Company recognizes revenue in accordance with FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 605-10, and ASC Topic 13 guidelines that require that four basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred; (3) the selling price is fixed and determinable; and (4) 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. The guidelines also address the accounting for arrangements that may involve the delivery or performance of multiple products, services and/or rights to use assets.
In January 2008, the Company adopted the provisions under FASB for Fair Value Measurements, which define fair value for accounting purposes, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure requirements regarding fair value measurements. The Company’s adoption of these provisions did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. Fair value is defined as an exit price, which is the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid upon transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The degree of judgment utilized in measuring the fair value of assets and liabilities generally correlates to the level of pricing observability. Financial assets and liabilities with readily available, actively quoted prices or for which fair value can be measured from actively quoted prices in active markets generally have more pricing observability and require less judgment in measuring fair value. Conversely, financial assets and liabilities that are rarely traded or not quoted have less price observability and are generally measured at fair value using valuation models that require more judgment. These valuation techniques involve some level of management estimation and judgment, the degree of which is dependent on the price transparency of the asset, liability or market and the nature of the asset or liability. The Company has categorized its financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value into a three-level hierarchy in accordance with these provisions.
