(UNAUDITED)
NOTE A - SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
General
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and 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-month period ended March 31, 2007, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2007. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated December 31, 2006 financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.
Basis of Presentation
Telkonet, Inc. (the "Company"), formerly Comstock Coal Company, Inc., was formed on November 3, 1999 under the laws of the state of Utah. The Company was a “development stage enterprise” (as defined by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 7) until December 31, 2003. The Company is engaged in the business of developing, producing and marketing proprietary equipment enabling the transmission of voice and data 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, LLC acquisition will enable Telkonet to provide installation and support for PLC products and third party applications to customers across North America.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Telkonet Communications, Inc. and Ethostream, LLC and 90% owned subsidiary Microwave Satellite Technologies (MST). Significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Reclassification
Certain reclassifications have been made to conform prior periods’ data to the current presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on reported losses.

(UNAUDITED)
NOTE A - SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
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 Company periodically reviews its trade receivables in determining its allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $207,000 and $60,000 at March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.
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.
Liquidity

NOTE A - SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
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, 2007 and December 31, 2006. 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, 2007 and the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company experienced approximately three percent of units returned under its product warranty policy. As of March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the Company recorded warranty liabilities in the amount of $57,120 and $47,300, respectively, using this experience factor.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.” SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments, and certain other items, at fair value. SFAS 159 applies to reporting periods beginning after November 15, 2007. The adoption of SFAS 159 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.
NOTE B - ACQUISITION OF SUBSIDIARIES
Acquisition of Microwave Satellite Technologies, Inc.
On January 31, 2006, the Company acquired a 90% interest in Microwave Satellite Technologies, Inc. (“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 “Triple Play” subscribers 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.
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.

NOTE B - ACQUISITION OF SUBSIDIARIES (continued)
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:
| | As Reported | | Including Purchase Price Contingency (*) | |
Common stock | | $ | 2,700,000 | | $ | 7,200,000 | |
Cash (including note payable) | | | 1,800,000 | | | 1,800,000 | |

Total | | $ | 4,637,391 | | $ | 9,137,391 | |
In accordance with Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 141, Business Combinations, the total purchase price was allocated to the estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The fair value of the assets acquired was based on management’s best estimates. The purchase price was allocated to the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as follows:
| | As Reported | | Including Purchase Price Contingency (*) | |
Cash and other current assets | | $ | 346,548 | | $ | 346,548 | |

(*) 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 engaged an independent firm to assist in allocating the excess purchase price to the intangible assets and goodwill as appropriate. In accordance with SFAS 142, goodwill is not amortized and will be tested for impairment at least annually. The subscriber list was independently valued at $2,463,927 with an estimated useful life of eight years. This intangible was amortized using that life, and amortization from the date of the acquisition through March 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 periodically for impairment. 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 and Other Intangible Assets (SFAF No. 142), an impairment test will be performed on these assets at least annually. The consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2007 includes only charges for amortization of these intangibles.
The acquisition of MST resulted in the valuation by an independent appraiser 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 March 31, 2007, was taken as a charge against income in the consolidated statement of operations. MST's goodwill of $1,977,767, excluding the purchase price contingency, represented the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired.
The acquisition of Ethostream resulted from preliminary estimates by management and is subject to adjustment upon the completion of the valuation by an independent appraiser of Ethostream’s subscriber lists as intangible assets. The Ethostream subscriber list was estimated to have a ten-year life. This intangible was amortized using that life, and amortization from the date of the acquisition through March 31, 2007, was taken as a charge against income in the consolidated statement of operations.

NOTE E - SENIOR CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE
During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Company issued convertible senior notes (the "Convertible Senior Notes") having an aggregate principal value of $20 million to sophisticated investors in exchange for $20,000,000, exclusive of $1,219,410 in placement costs and fees. The Convertible Senior Notes accrue interest at 7.25% per annum and call for monthly principal installments beginning March 1, 2006. The maturity date is 3 years from the date of issuance of the notes. At any time or times, the Noteholders shall be entitled to convert any portion of the outstanding and unpaid note amount into fully paid and nonassessable shares of the Company’s common Shares at $5 per share. At any time at the option of the Company, the principal payments may be paid either in cash or in common stock at the lower of $5 or 92.5% of the average recent market price. At any time after six months should the stock trade at or above $8.75 for 20 of 30 consecutive trading days, the Company can cause a mandatory redemption and conversion to shares at $5 per share. At any time, the Company can pre-pay the notes with cash or common stock. Should the Company pre-pay the Notes other than by mandatory conversion, the Company must issue additional warrants to the Noteholders covering 65% of the amount pre-paid at a strike price of $5 per share. In addition to standard financial covenants, the Company has agreed to maintain a letter of credit in favor of the Noteholders equal to $10 million. Once the principal amount of the note declines below $15 million, the balance is reduced by $.50 for every $1 amortized. In accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force Issue 98-5, Accounting for Convertible Securities with a Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios ("EITF 98-5"), the Company recognized an imbedded beneficial conversion feature present in the notes. The Company allocated a portion of the proceeds equal to the intrinsic value of that feature to additional paid in capital. The Company recognized and measured an aggregate of $1,479,300 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 Notes issued during the year ended December 31, 2005. The debt discount attributed to the beneficial conversion feature is amortized over the Notes maturity period (three years) as interest expense.

In connection with the placement of the Notes in October 2005, the Company has also agreed to issue to the Noteholders one million warrants to purchase company common stock exercisable for five years at $5 per share. The Company recognized the value attributable to the warrants in the amount of $2,919,300 to a derivative liability due to the possibility of the Company having to make a cash settlement, including penalties, in the event the Company failed to register the shares underlying the warrants under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, within 90 days after the closing of the transaction. The Company accounted for this warrant derivative in accordance with EITF 00-19 Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company's Own Stock. The warrants were included as a liability and valued at fair market value until the Company met the criteria under EITF 00-19 for permanent equity. A registration statement covering shares issuable to the Noteholders upon conversion, amortization and/or redemption of the Convertible Senior Notes and upon exercise of the warrants was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form S-3 on November 23, 2005 and was declared effective on December 13, 2005. The warrant derivative liability was valued at the issuance date of the Notes in the amount of $2,919,300 and then revalued at $2,910,700 on December 13, 2005 upon effectiveness of the Form S-3. The Company charged $8,600 to Other Income and the derivative warrant liability was reclassified to additional paid in capital at December 13, 2005. 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 $2,919,300 of debt discount attributed to the value of the warrants issued is amortized over the Notes maturity period (three years) as interest expense.
For the period end March 31, 2006, the Company paid principal of $1,250,000 and interest of $358,724 in cash. The Company amortized the debt discount to the beneficial conversion feature and value of the attached warrants, and recorded non-cash interest expense in the amount of $239,943 and $121,586, respectively.
The Company has warrants due the Noteholders as a result of the anti-dilution impact from a $10,000,000 private placement in February 2007 (Note I). The Company has accounted for the additional 76,230 warrants issued, valued at $131,009, as interest expense during the period ended March 31, 2007. The Company valued the warrants using the Black-Scholes pricing model and the following assumptions: contractual terms of 5 years, an average risk free interest rate of 4.75%, a dividend yield of 0%, and volatility of 70%.
Early Extinguishment of Debt
On August 14, 2006, the Company executed separate settlement agreements with the lenders of its Convertible Senior Notes. Pursuant to the settlement agreements the Company paid to the lenders on August 15, 2006 in the aggregate $9,910,392 plus accrued but unpaid interest of $23,951 and certain premiums specified in the Notes in satisfaction of the amounts then outstanding under the Notes. Of the amount to be paid to the lenders under the Notes, $6,500,000 was paid in cash through a drawdown on a letter of credit previously pledged as collateral for the Company’s obligations under the Notes. The remaining note balance of $1,428,314 and a Redemption Premium of $1,982,078, calculated as 25% of remaining principal, was paid to the lenders in shares of Company’s common stock valued at the lower of $5.00 per share and 92.5% of the arithmetic average of the weighted average price of the Company’s common stock on the American stock exchange for the twenty trading days beginning on August 16, 2006. The Company also issued 862,452 warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at the exercise price of $2.58 per share (92.5% of the average trading price as described above). The Company valued the warrants at $1,014,934 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 65%. The Company has accounted for the Redemption Premium and the additional warrants issued as non-cash early extinguishment of debt expense during the year ended December 31, 2006.

NOTE E - SENIOR CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE (Continued)
As a result of the execution of the settlement agreements and the payments required thereby, the Company fully believes it repaid and satisfied all of its obligations under the Notes. The Company also agreed to pay the expenses of the lenders incurred in connection with the negotiation and execution of the settlement agreements. The settlement agreements were negotiated following the allegation by one of the lenders that the Company’s failure to meet the minimum revenue test for the period ending June 30, 2006 as specified on the Notes constituted an event of default under the Notes, which allegation the Company disputed.
The Settlement Agreement provides 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. 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 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.

The Company reports financial results for the following operating business segments:
Telkonet Segment (“Telkonet”)
Through the revolutionary Telkonet iWire System™, 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 the local area network, 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. The segment’s net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2007 were $759,363, representing 61% of the Company’s consolidated net sales.
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 1,090,909 shares are 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 may 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 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 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.
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 investment on technology investments. Hotel owners can leverage the Telkonet iWire System™ platform to support wired and wireless Internet access and, in the future, to support a networked energy management system.

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.
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, 2007 and December 31, 2006. 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, 2007 and the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company experienced approximately three percent of units returned under its product warranty policy. As of March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the Company recorded warranty liabilities in the amount of $50,790 and $31,200, respectively, using this experience factor.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.” SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments, and certain other items, at fair value. SFAS 159 applies to reporting periods beginning after November 15, 2007. The adoption of SFAS 159 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.
Revenues
The Company’s revenue consists of direct product sales and a recurring (lease) model in the commercial, government and international markets of the Telkonet Segment including a partial month activity for SSI and Ethostream, LLC from the date of acquisition through March 31, 2007. Additionally, the MST Segment consists of three months of revenue in 2007 and two months of revenue from date of acquisition, January 31, 2006 through March 31, 2006 providing certain Quad-Play services. The table below outlines product versus recurring (lease) revenues for comparable periods:
| Three months Ended |
| March 31, 2007 | March 31, 2006 | Variance |
| | | | | | |
Product | $637,856 | 51% | $1,549,975 | 80% | $(912,119) | -59% |
Recurring (lease) | 608,413 | 49% | 393,937 | 20% | 214,476 | 54% |
Total | $1,246,269 | 100% | $1,943,912 | 100% | $(697,643) | -36% |
Product revenue
Product revenue in the Telkonet Segment decreased by approximately $832,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to the prior year. The decrease is attributable the sale of certain rental contract agreements to HLC in the prior year of approximately $683,000 as well as unanticipated delays in certain Hospitality and Government direct installation initiatives in the three months ended March 31, 2007. The Telkonet Segment product revenue principally arises from the sale and installation of the Telkonet iWire SystemTM directly to commercial, government and international customers as well as through the Value Added Reseller (VAR) purchase program. Additionally, the acquisitions of SSI and Ethostream in March 2007 provides the Telkonet Segement multiple solutions of wired and wireless Internet access and energy management and from date of acquisition through March 31, 2007 amounted to approximately $150,000 of combined product revenue.
The MST Segment product revenue consists of equipment and installations and ancillary services provided to customers.
In the three months ended March 31, 2006, the Company consummated a non-recourse sale of certain rental contract agreements and the related capitalized equipment which were accounted for as operating leases with Hospitality Leasing Corporation. The remaining rental income payments of the contracts were valued at approximately $1,168,000 including the customer support component of approximately $357,000 which the Company will retain and continue to receive monthly customer support payments over the remaining average unexpired lease term of 37 months. In the period ending March 31, 2006, the Company recognized revenue of approximately $683,000 for the sale, calculated based on the present value of total unpaid rental payments, and expensed the associated capitalized equipment cost, net of depreciation, of approximately $340,000 and expensed associated taxes of approximately $64,000.
Recurring (lease) Revenue
The recurring revenue for the MST segment subscriber base amounted to approximately $427,000 and $168,000 for the three and two months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The MST Segment subscriber portfolio includes approximately 20 MDU properties with bulk service agreements and/or access licenses to service the individual subscribers in metropolitan New York. The Telkonet Segment recurring (lease) revenue decreased by approximately $45,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to the prior year primarily due to the sale of rental contracts to Hospitality Leasing Corporation (HLC) in 2006. As a result of the acquisition of Ethostream, the Telkonet Segment supports approximately 150,000 HSIA rooms and anticipates continued leadership in the HSIA industry.

Total | $1,316,461 | 106% | $1,295,570 | 67% | $20,891 | 2% |
Product Costs
The Telkonet Segment product cost for the Telkonet iWire SystemTM product suite primarily includes equipment costs and installation labor. During the three months ended March 31, 2007, product costs decreased by approximately $422,000 for the Telkonet Segment, including the non-recourse sale of rental contract agreements in the period ended March 31, 2006 which amounted to approximately $347,000 of previously capitalized costs.
The MST segment product costs primarily consist of equipment and installation labor for installation and ancillary services provided to customers.
Recurring (lease) Costs
MST segment recurring costs primarily represent 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 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 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. The Telkonet Segment recurring costs decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to the prior year period due to the sale of certain rental contracts.
Gross Profit
| Three months Ended |
| March 31, 2007 | March 31, 2006 | Variance |
| | | | | | |
Product | $208,388 | 33% | $566,324 | 37% | $(357,936) | -63% |

Total | $(70,192) | -6% | $648,342 | 33% | $(718,534) | -111 |
Product Gross Profit
The gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2007 decreased compared to the prior year period which is attributable to the decrease in product revenue compared to the prior year as well as the gross profit attributable to the sale of the HLC contracts in the prior year.
Recurring (lease) Gross Profit
Telkonet Segment gross profit associated with recurring (lease) revenue decreased as a result of the sale of rental contracts to HLC resulting in a decrease in recurring (lease) revenue which offset by increased customer support services. As MST develops the infrastructure and continues to build-out the “Quad-Play” subscriber base, the gross margins decreased approximately $324,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to the prior year, primarily due to programming costs and the support infrastructure.
Operating Expenses
| Three months Ended |
| March 31, 2007 | March 31, 2006 | Variance |
| | | | | | |
Total | $5,240,047 | | $4,297,464 | | $942,583 | 22% |
Overall expenses increased for the three months ended March 31, 2007 over the comparable period in 2006 by $942,583 or 22%. The principal reasons for this increase were operating costs related to the build-out of the “Quad Play” subscriber infrastructure through the MST segment. Additionally, the Telkonet operating expenses increased for the three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to the prior year due to administrative costs, a loss on the sub-lease of the Crystal City, VA office space and an increase in sales and marketing expenses for the period ending March 31, 2007.

Total | $474,603 | | $432,569 | | $42,034 | 10% |
Telkonet’s research and development costs related to both present and future products are expensed in the period incurred. Total expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2007 increased over the comparable prior year by $42,034 or 10%. This increase was primarily related to costs associated the development of the next generation product suite and the integration of new applications to the Telkonet iWire System.
Selling, General and Administrative
| Three months Ended |
| March 31, 2007 | March 31, 2006 | Variance |
| | | | | | |
Total | $4,260,111 | | $3,092,043 | | $1,168,068 | 38% |
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased for the three months ended March 31, 2007 over the comparable prior year by $1,168,068 or 38%. This increase is attributed to the administrative expenses such as payroll costs, advertising, trade shows, facility costs and professional fees.
Backlog
In conjunction with the acquisition of Ethostream, LLC on March 15, 2007, the Telkonet Segment maintains contracts and monthly services for more than 1900 hotels which are expected to generate approximately $2,400,000 annual recurring support and internet advertising revenue. Additionally, Telkonet has been contracted to deploy the Telkonet iWire SystemTM at 50 properties for a major resort company which deployment represents revenue of approximately $1,100,000 over a 3 year term.
In conjunction with the acquisition of Smart Systems International on March 9, 2007, Telkonet assumed certain purchase orders relating to a major utilities energy management initiative provided through the two selected providers. The current order backlog amounts to approximately $500,000 and the estimated remaining program value amounts to $3,000,000 for products and services to be provided through 2008.
The MST subscriber portfolio includes approximately 20 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 $1,800,000 in revenue through 2013.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Working Capital
Our working capital increased by $2,876,315 during the three months ended March 31, 2007 from a working capital deficit of $(530,631) at December 31, 2006 to a working capital of $2,345,684 at March 31, 2007. The increase in working capital for the three-months ended March 31, 2007, is due to a combination of factors, of which the significant factors are set out below:
| · | Cash had an increase from working capital by $542,987 for the period ended March 31, 2007. The most significant uses and proceeds of cash are as follows: |
| o | Approximately $4,800,000 of cash consumed directly in operating activities |
| o | A cash payment of $900,000 representing the second installment of the cash portion of the purchase price for the acquisition of MST |
| o | The cash payment in the acquisition of Ethostream amounted to approximately $2,000,000, and as part of the acquisition the debt payoff amounted to approximately $200,000—see discussion of acquisition below; |
| | |
| o | The cash payments in the acquisition of SSI amounted to approximately $875,000—see discussion of acquisition below; |
| o | A private placement from the sale of 4,000,000 shares of common stock at $2.50 per share provided proceeds of $9,610,000. |
Of the total $6,903,799 current assets as of March 31, 2007, cash represented $2,187,024. Of the total $3,766,079 current assets as of December 31, 2006, cash represented $1,644,037.
Convertible Senior Notes
In October 2005, the Company completed an offering of convertible senior notes (the “Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of $20 million. The capital raised in the Note offering was used for general working capital purposes. The Notes bore interest at a rate of 7.25%, payable in cash, and called for monthly principal installments beginning March 1, 2006. The maturity date was 3 years from the date of issuance of the Notes. The Noteholders were entitled, at any time, to convert any portion of the outstanding and unpaid Conversion Amount into shares of Company common stock. At the option of the Company, the principal payments could be paid either in cash or in common stock. Upon conversion into common stock, the value of the stock was determined by the lower of $5 or 92.5% of the average recent market price. The Company also issued one million warrants to the Noteholders exercisable for five years at $5 per share. At any time after six months, should the stock trade at or above $8.75 for 20 of 30 consecutive trading days, the Company could cause a mandatory redemption and conversion to shares at $5 per share. At any time, the Company was entitled to pre-pay the notes with cash or common stock. If the Company elected to use common stock to pre-pay the Notes, the price of the common stock would be deemed to be the lower of $5 or 92.5% of the average recent market price. If the Company prepaid the Notes other than by mandatory conversion, the Company was obligated to issue additional warrants to the Noteholders covering 65% of the amount pre-paid at a strike price of $5 per share. In addition to standard financial covenants, the Company agreed to maintain a letter of credit in favor of the Noteholders equal to $10 million. Once the principal amount outstanding on the notes declined below $15 million, the balance on the letter of credit was reduced by $.50 for every $1 amortized.
These notes were repaid on August 14, 2006 as discussed in greater detail below under “Early Extinguishment of Debt.”
Principal Payments of Debt
For the period end March 31, 2006, the Company paid principal of $1,250,000 and interest of $358,724 in cash. The Company amortized the debt discount to the beneficial conversion feature and value of the attached warrants, and recorded non-cash interest expense in the amount of $239,943 and $121,586, respectively.
Early Extinguishment of Debt
On August 14, 2006, the Company executed separate settlement agreements with the lenders of its Convertible Senior Notes. Pursuant to the settlement agreements the Company paid to the lenders in the aggregate $9,910,392 plus accrued but unpaid interest of $23,951 and certain premiums specified in the Notes in satisfaction of the amounts then outstanding under the Notes. Of the amount to be paid to the lenders under the Notes, $6,500,000 was paid in cash through a drawdown on a letter of credit previously pledged as collateral for the Company’s obligations under the Notes. The remaining note balance of $1,428,314 and a Redemption Premium of $1,982,078, calculated as 25% of remaining principal, was paid to the lenders in shares of Company’s common stock valued at the lower of $5.00 per share and 92.5% of the arithmetic average of the weighted average price of the Company’s common stock on the American Stock Exchange for the twenty trading days beginning on August 16, 2006. The Company also issued 862,452 warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at the exercise price of the lower of $2.58 per share and 92.5% of the average trading price as described above. The Company has accounted for the Redemption Premium and the additional warrants issued as non-cash early extinguishment of debt expense during the year ended December 31, 2006.
As a result of the execution of the settlement agreements and the payments required thereby, the Company fully repaid and believes it satisfied all of its obligations under the Notes. The Company also agreed to pay the expenses of the lenders incurred in connection with the negotiation and execution of the settlement agreements. The settlement agreements were negotiated following the allegation by one of the lenders that the Company’s failure to meet the minimum revenue test for the period ending June 30, 2006 as specified on the Notes may have constituted an event of default under the Notes, which allegation the Company disputed.
In conjunction with the settlement agreement, the Company recorded $4,626,679 of loss from early extinguishment of debt, which consists of $1,982,078 redemption premium paid with the Company’s common stock, $1,014,934 of additional warrants issued to the lenders, write-off of the remaining unamortized debt discount attributed to the beneficial conversion feature and the value of the attached warrants in the amount of $430,040 and $845,143, respectively, and write-off the remaining unamortized financing costs of $354,484.
The settlement agreements provide 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. 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 agreements pending resolution of this disagreement. One of the noteholders 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. As of May 1, 2007, no legal claim has been filed by the noteholder.
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 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 which will be 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. In the period ended December 31, 2006, the Company issued 200,000 shares of the purchase price contingency valued at $900,000 as an adjustment to goodwill. 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. As of March 31, 2007, 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 is obligated to register the stock portion of the purchase price on or before May 15, 2007 and 1,090,909 shares are 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 may 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.
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, 2007, the Company received $31,000 from the exercise of employee stock options.
During the three months ended March 31, 2007, the Company issued 4,000,000 shares of Common Stock valued at $2.50 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $9,610,000, net of placement fees. The Company also issued to this investor warrants to purchase 2.6 million shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $4.17 per share in this private placement transaction.
Cashflow analysis
Cash utilized in operating activities was $4,813,002 during the three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to $3,138,964 the previous comparable period. The primary use of cash during the three months ended March 31, 2007 was for operating activities.
The Company utilized cash for investing activities of $4,086,052 and $1,069,772 during the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. These expenditures were primarily the result of the payment of cash portion of the MST purchase price payable in February 2007 and the acquisition of SSI and Ethostream in March 2007 of $875,000 and $2,000,000, respectively. Additionally, cost of equipment under operating leases amounted to $276,292 and $316,716 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, offset by proceeds from sale of certain equipment under operating lease of $340,130 for the three months ended March 31, 2006. Furthermore, purchases of property and equipment amounted to $34,760 and $134,704 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
The Company was provided and utilized cash in financing activities of $9,442,041 and $685,172 during the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The financing activities represent 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, during the three months ended March 31, 2007. Additionally, the financing activities represent proceeds from the exercise of stock options and warrants of $31,000 and $974,530 during the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. In 2006, the proceeds of the financing activities were offset by repayment of senior convertible debt principal of $1,250,000 and repayment of debt of $409,675 and, in 2007, repayment of the subsidiary debt of $198,959.
The Company believes it has sufficient access to capital to meet its working capital requirements through the remainder of 2007 in available cash and in cash generated from operations. Additional financing may be required in order to meet growth opportunities in financing and/or investing activities. If additional capital is required and the Company is not successful in generating sufficient liquidity from operations or in raising sufficient capital resources on terms acceptable to the Company, this could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations, liquidity and financial condition.
If additional capital is required and the Company is not successful in generating sufficient liquidity from operations or in raising sufficient capital resources on terms acceptable to the Company, this could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations, liquidity and financial condition.
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.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
None.
Acquisition or Disposition of Property and Equipment
During the three months ended March 31, 2007, fixed assets and costs under operating leases increased $311,052 primarily for additions to the MST Segment equipment purchases for the MST “Quad-Play” build-out. The remainder 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.
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 the Smart Systems International office and warehouse space 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.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
Short Term Investments
We held no marketable securities as of March 31, 2007. 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.
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, 2007 was $131,044 and $8,000 in BPL Global and Amperion, respectively, and at March 31, 2007, are recorded in other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
As of March 31, 2007, the Company performed an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Vice President Finance (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 Vice President Finance 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, 2007, 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, 2007, the Company has incurred cumulative losses of $75,826,144 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.
If the Company’s common stock ceases trading on the American Stock Exchange, an investment in the Company’s common stock could become significantly less liquid.
On April 17, 2007, the Company received notification from the American Stock Exchange (AMEX) that, as of such date, the Company was not in compliance with Sections 120 and 121(A) of the AMEX Company Guide, which compliance is required for the continued listing of the Company’s common stock on the AMEX. Although on May 1, 2007 the Company submitted a Plan of Compliance in response to AMEX’s correspondence and the Company believes this Plan of Compliance adequately addresses all of the concerns raised by AMEX, if the Plan of Compliance is rejected, AMEX could take steps to delist the Company’s common stock from the exchange. If the Company’s common stock ceases to trade on the AMEX, the trading market for the Company’s common stock could be negatively impacted. Generally speaking, securities that are not traded on a national securities exchange tend to be less liquid and trade with larger spreads between the bid and ask price than securities traded on exchanges or automated quotation systems. As a result, holders of our common stock may have some difficulty selling their shares in the open market if the Company is unable to maintain its listing on the AMEX.
Any acquisitions we make could result in difficulties in successfully managing our business and consequently harm our financial condition.
We may seek to expand by acquiring competing businesses in our current or other geographic markets, including as a means to acquire spectrum. We cannot accurately predict the timing, size and success of our acquisition efforts and the associated capital commitments that might be required. We expect to face competition for acquisition candidates, which may limit the number of acquisition opportunities available to us and may lead to higher acquisition prices. There can be no assurance that we will be able to identify, acquire or profitably manage additional businesses or successfully integrate acquired businesses, if any, without substantial costs, delays or other operational or financial difficulties. In addition, acquisitions involve a number of other risks, including:
| · | failure of the acquired businesses to achieve expected results; |
| · | diversion of management’s attention and resources to acquisitions; |
| · | failure to retain key customers or personnel of the acquired businesses; |
| · | disappointing quality or functionality of acquired equipment and people: and |
| · | risks associated with unanticipated events, liabilities or contingencies. |
Client dissatisfaction or performance problems at a single acquired business could negatively affect our reputation. The inability to acquire businesses on reasonable terms or successfully integrate and manage acquired companies, or the occurrence of performance problems at acquired companies, could result in dilution, unfavorable accounting treatment or one-time charges and difficulties in successfully managing our business.
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 $17.8 million at March 31, 2007 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.

Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities.
None.
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
