PART III — NARRATIVE

State below in reasonable detail why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-SAR, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.

Management of Telkonet, Inc (the “Company”) has recommended, and the Company’s Audit Committee has concluded, that the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010 included in its 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as well as the interim consolidated financial statements for 2011 and 2010 included in its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2011, June 30, 2011 and September 30, 2011 will need to be restated as a result of certain adjustments.

As described in the Form 8-K filed on March 15, 2012, the restatement will be required in large part due to the aggregate impact of the Company’s under accrual of sales tax, interest and penalties, which amounted to approximately $815,000 for the periods including and prior to September 30, 2011. In addition, during the course of the Company’s 2011 financial close process, management has become aware of other potential adjustments related to previously reported financial information and is in the process of completing such analysis. The Company currently anticipates that these other adjustments will include adjustments to: deferred lease liability; accrued expenses; accrued warranty and accumulated depreciation. The process of preparing the audited financial statements to be included in the Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, including the Company’s evaluation of goodwill for impairment, is on-going and the identification of additional adjustments is possible.

The restatement process has resulted in delays in obtaining and compiling the financial data necessary to complete the restatement and prepare the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011. As a result, the Company has been unable to complete the preparation and review of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2011 in time to file it by the prescribed deadline of March 30, 2012 without unreasonable effort and expense. The Company is working diligently in order to file its Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 by no later than the fifteenth calendar day following the prescribed deadline, or April 16, 2012; however the Company can provide no assurance that it will be able to file its Form 10-K within such time period.

PART IV — OTHER INFORMATION

(1)	Name and telephone number of person to contact in regard to this notification Richard E. Mushrush 414 302-2260 (Name) (Area Code) (Telephone Number)
(2)	Have all other periodic reports required under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 during the preceding 12 months or for such shorter period that the registrant was required to file such report(s) been filed? If answer is no, identify report(s).
		Yes ý No ¨

(3)	Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion thereof?
		Yes ý No ¨

If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made.

As described above, the restatement process has resulted in delays in obtaining and compiling the financial data necessary to complete the restatements and prepare the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011. Net revenues for the year ended December 31, 2011 are expected to be approximately $11.2 million, an increase of 2% over prior year. As a result, a reasonable estimate of the Company’s other results cannot be made as of the time of this filing.
