Telkonet's PlugPlusInternet(TM) products deliver high-speed Internet access over
standard electrical wiring, eliminating the need to rewire a building and
enabling users to access the Internet from virtually any electrical outlet. Ron
Pickett, President of Telkonet, stated, "The election of our debt holders to
convert this debt to equity along with the purchase of their warrants
demonstrates the continued commitment of our funding partners and their
confidence in Telkonet".

Telkonet's products provide connectivity over existing electrical wiring and do
not require the costly installation of additional wiring, or major disruption of
business activity. In many situations, the Telkonet system can be implemented
more quickly and less expensively than adding dedicated wiring or installing a
wireless system. The Telkonet PlugPlusInternet family of Internet access
products offers a viable and cost-effective alternative to the challenges of
hardwiring and wireless local area networks (LANs). Telkonet PlugPlusInternet
products are designed for use in commercial and residential applications,
including multi-dwelling units and the hospitality and government markets.
