SIPC ISSUES STATEMENT ON LEHMAN BROTHERS INC.: NO LIQUIDATION PROCEEDING ANTICIPATED

WASHINGTON, D.C. – September 15, 2008 – The Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC), which maintains a special reserve fund authorized by Congress to help investors at failed brokerage firms, issued the following statement this morning in relation to reports about the bankruptcy filing of Lehman Brothers Holdings, Inc.

SIPC President Stephen Harbeck said: “SIPC has not initiated a liquidation proceeding against the broker-dealer Lehman Brothers Inc. and we do not currently anticipate doing so. As of this morning, it appears that all customer cash, stocks and other securities are accounted for.

It is important to understand that the holdings of broker-dealer Lehman Brothers Inc., would not be directly impacted by a bankruptcy filing at the separate entity Lehman Brothers Holdings, Inc.

Should the situation at Lehman Brothers Inc. change in some material way not now anticipated by SIPC and regulators, we will, of course, intervene as necessary to protect the cash and securities of customers. However, I want to underscore that such an action is considered unlikely at this time.

SIPC is working closely with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to monitor the situation at Lehman Brothers Inc.

The Securities Investor Protection Corporation remains vigilant and committed to our core mission: When a brokerage firm is closed due to bankruptcy or other financial difficulties and customer assets are missing, SIPC steps in as quickly as possible and, within certain limits, works to return customers' cash, stock and other securities. Without SIPC, investors at financially troubled brokerage firms might lose their securities or money forever or wait for years while their assets are tied up in court."


ABOUT SIPC

The Securities Investor Protection Corporation is the U.S. investor's first line of defense in the event a brokerage firm fails, owing customer cash and securities that are missing from customer accounts. SIPC either acts as trustee or works with an independent court-appointed trustee in a brokerage insolvency case to recover funds. The statute that created SIPC provides that customers of a failed brokerage firm receive all non-negotiable securities - such as stocks or bonds -- that are already registered in their names or in the process of being registered. At the same time, funds from the SIPC reserve are available to satisfy the remaining claims of each customer up to a maximum of $500,000. This figure includes a maximum of $100,000 on claims for cash. From the time Congress created it in 1970 through December 2006, SIPC has advanced $505 million in order to make possible the recovery of $15.7 billion in assets for an estimated 626,000 investors.

For more information about SIPC, see "The Investor's Guide to Brokerage Firm Liquidations" at http://www.sipc.org/pdf/SIPC_brochure_Investors_Guide_To_BD_Liquidations.pdf.

MEDIA CONTACT: Leslie Anderson, (703) 276-3265 or landerson@hastingsgroup.com. All investor inquiries of SIPC should be directed to asksipc@sipc.org or (202) 371-8300.

I just signed a petition asking the G8 take urgent action against extreme poverty, and I'm hoping that you'll join me.

Sign the petition now at: http://www.one.org/international/g8

There has been a lot of progress against extreme poverty in recent years, but, as recent headlines about the global food crisis and natural disasters like Cyclone Nargis in Burma will tell you, there is still much to be done.

When we unite with one voice and call upon our leaders to take action, we can and will solve these problems.

Warren Buffett Finances Candy Maker – Betting on Old School Eating Trends; Sugar as a Staple of North American Diets

InvestorIdeas.com Reports on Trends in Organic, Natural Foods – Are the Undercurrents there to Prove the Oracle Wrong Long Term?


POINT ROBERTS, Wash., Delta B.C., April 29, 2008 - http://www.investorideas.com/, a leading online global investor resource covering over 30 sectors including environmental and food and beverage, features a report on trends in organic, natural foods as Warren Buffett makes headlines financing Mars Inc. is purchase of confectioner Wm. Wrigley Jr. Co. (NYSE: WWY) for an estimated $23 billion in cash. With the growing trends of consumers going back to basic, healthy organic food, Investorideas.com poses is Warren finally wrong for the long term, or will the sugar addicts continue to consume Snickers and Skittles over an organic apple?

Warren Buffett, an admitted sweet tooth, buys what he knows and he knows sugar and candy. Berkshire Hathaway Inc. will purchase a $2.1 billion minority equity interest in the Wrigley subsidiary and offered $4.4 billion of subordinated debt to fund the purchase.

Investorideas.com founder Dawn Van Zant reports. “As a former life long sugar addict that thought candy was equivalent to happiness, I lived with the same foggy sugar brain and would have applauded this venture up until recently. Last year I woke up out of my sugar coma and found the benefits of organic food, so as much as I respect Mr. Buffett, I am hoping he is wrong with this one.”

Food prices and commodity prices are on the rise including sugar. Will the shift in food and eating run in parallel with energy and renewable energy? In the initial stages renewable energy is more expensive than oil but as oil reaches $120 a barrel and is predicted to possibly go to $200, will the same transformation take place in the food industry for the better good? We may be forced to live better, cleaner and healthier lives based on decisions forced by the wallet. As the shift takes place, the organic food industry will face short term challenges as overall food prices rise and consumers become price conscious.

Organic milk, one of the success stories within the organic food industry, was able to compete with a competitive edge and profit over traditional milk for years is now being hit with rising feed and fuel costs.

The direct relationship with food and fuel prices as well as the changing and disruptive trends will result in a power shift on all levels, with the consumer taking the brunt of the hit until the transition settles.

According to recent research by RedOrbit.com “One of the few certain and consistent trends for American grocers has been the growing popularity of organic food; in fact, from 1997 to 2006, sales of organic food have grown by nearly 80 percent to $17.7 billion.”

Telkonet SmartEnergy and Telkonet, Inc.(AMEX: TKO)Telkonet SmartEnergy (TSE) is an intelligent, occupancy-driven in-room energy management system, providing an economic, green approach to controlling HVAC usage and improving energy efficiency. It incorporates a patented technology – Recovery Time™ (RT) that performs constant real-time calculations to adjust and maintain a room’s temperature based on occupancy. Unlike conventional fixed-setback systems, where the temperature is often forced to one fixed temperature in all rooms, RT takes into account a diverse range of factors to determine each room’s energy efficient temperature, restoring the temperature to the users’ desired comfort setting within minutes of returning to a room. TSE has been proven to deliver a rapid return on investment, often achieving quantifiable savings of approximately 30% by eliminating the wasteful heating and cooling of unoccupied rooms. Operating on an individual room-by-room basis, the system uses a combination of occupancy sensors, along with intelligent programmable thermostats or PTAC controllers, underpinned by RT’s unique functionality that ensures rooms are never excessively hot or cold when an occupant returns to the room.
